Zhang Lexuan: That pie in the sky is too big for me to swallow

"In that case... then you will be the captain of the reserve team." Xuan Zi waved his hand and said.

"Tomorrow, we'll meet here again for training."

Dismissed!

"..."

"Isn't his Martial Soul an Ultimate Ice attribute?" Ling Luochеn hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Oh, he has Twin Martial Souls."

Ma Xiaotao smiled, her lips curving into a radiant smile.

"The ultimate duality of ice and fire?!" Ling Luochеn's pupils dilated in shock.

"More or less..." Ma Xiaotao shrugged. The dual Martial Soul she wanted to talk about weren't ice and fire, but fire and pupils. Where did the ice attribute come from...? Who knows? She only knew that Lu Cheng had recently gone to the Far North, and after he came back...

Ling Luochеn's gaze grew increasingly intense.

Her stunningly beautiful face, as cold as frost, now held a hint of attraction.

"Smack!"

A crisp and resounding slap.

Dai Huabin's face instantly swelled up, his eyes hardened, but he still kept his head down, not daring to let his brother see his gaze.

"Useless," Dai Yueheng said coldly.

"The Black Tortoise Sect has already experienced the consequences of offending that young man, yet you still wish to offend him?"

If the conflict had started because of Lu Cheng's arrogance and domineering behavior, he would have accepted it. But the problem was that Lu Cheng hadn't uttered a single curse word from beginning to end; he had simply stopped Dai Huabin.

Because of this, he provoked a monster that even he feared, all because of this fool.

"But that little beast insulted my mother!" Dai Huabin roared.

"Don't use your mother as an excuse." Dai Yueheng snorted, seeing through the latter's trick at a glance. "I don't expect you to repair your relationship with him, but from today onwards, don't appear in his sight again, and don't spread any rumors about him, otherwise... I'll kill you."

"Yes..." Dai Huabin said, feeling frustrated.

Only after watching the figure disappear did he angrily pound the ground.

"Dai Yueheng, you were only born a few years before me. If we're talking about talent, you might not even be as good as me. What are you putting on airs of your elder brother status for? Just wait, you piece of trash, I'll trample you under my feet and humiliate you severely sooner or later!"

Sea God Pavilion.

Top floor.

A gentle breeze swept by, causing the clouds at my feet to ripple.

Mu En smiled and looked Zhang Lexuan up and down, nodding slightly. "You've really grown up. I remember the first time I saw you, you were just a little girl this big." As he spoke, he gestured with his hand.

"Yes, time flies..." Zhang Lexuan wore a light blue dress, her beautiful face appearing elegant and dignified, even carrying a faint sense of authority.

A faint smile curved her red lips as she echoed Mu En's words.

"On this trip, I plan to have Xuan Zi take them on a training mission. The group of Evil Soul Master in the Ming Dou Mountain Range would be a good choice. They will eventually have to join the Inspection Corps to eliminate Evil Soul Master, so this will be a good opportunity for them to get used to it in advance," Mu En said leisurely.

"Xuan Zi...?"

Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly.

Her previous mission request was to personally lead the team in this Continental Soul Master Tournament, but now this old guy suddenly proposed that Xuan Zi lead the team...

This was tantamount to rejecting her mission application.

"Mu En, I have a objection," Zhang Lexuan said softly. "I have doubts about Xuan Zi's ability to lead the team. If he were reliable, the disaster in the Star Dou Great Forest wouldn't have happened."

"..." Mu En's eye twitched.

He originally planned to leave Zhang Lexuan at the Shrek Academy and not participate in this competition, separating her from Lu Cheng for a while, but now it seems... he was too hasty.

Moreover, this aspect of Xuan Zi is undoubtedly a stain on his reputation.

It can't be cleaned no matter how much you wash it.

He was indeed in the wrong.

"We might as well trust Xuan Zi..." Mu En pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "He has changed a lot over the years. That incident back then was a big blow to him, and he is more mature now."

"Then I'll request to lead the team and follow," Zhang Lexuan said calmly.

I maintain my stance.

Now, Mother Jiang has been secretly sent away by the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to the border of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Meanwhile, Shrek Outer Court students related to Lu Cheng, such as Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, are also participating in the Continental Soul Master Tournament as reserve team members. It can be said that a million people have been evacuated. In one competition, everything that can be moved has been moved.

Only her...

If she doesn't leave, and Lu Cheng turns around and joins the Body Sect, then her situation at Shrek will be somewhat awkward.

Mu En might even turn on them outright.

"..." Mu En became increasingly troubled.

He didn't think too much about it.

After all, Zhang Lexuan was raised by the Shrek Academy from a young age. She had no parents and no ties, so calling her a "deadpool" wouldn't be an exaggeration. As for the family massacre case, it had long been buried in the dust of history and could not have been discovered by Zhang Lexuan. The only drawback now is that she is too close to the variable "Lu Cheng", even to an abnormal degree.

Therefore, he didn't actually think of the word "betrayal".

Otherwise, they wouldn't have tried to match her with Bei Bei.

"In that case, why don't we let Xuan Zi lead the team ahead? I still have a task to give you, so let's postpone our departure for a few days. Xuan Zi and the others happen to be heading south to the Ming Dou Mountain Range to suppress bandits. You can meet up with them in Star Luo City then, how about that?"

"... Okay." Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly.

If we hesitate any longer, it will only arouse Mu En's suspicion. Let's postpone it for a few days.

Although Xuan Zi is unreliable, Lu Cheng's current strength is enough to protect himself.

"Bei Bei said you really dislike him?" Mu En hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"... What do you mean by that, Mu En?" Zhang Lexuan remained expressionless, raising an eyebrow. "How could I possibly feel any aversion? Perhaps that child has misunderstood something. I've always only considered him a younger brother, nothing more. I've never harbored any inappropriate thoughts, after all, our ages are different..."

Mu En: "..."

The age difference between you and Lu Cheng is much greater than that Bei Bei Cheng; this excuse is rather absurd.

"Alright, alright, I won't interfere in your young people's affairs. As the future Sea God Pavilion Master, Lexuan, you should also be responsible for your future husband."

Mu En smiled and shook his head, seemingly changing the subject casually, but actually hinting at something.

"After all, the Sea God Pavilion Master's spouse must also be one of the Shrek Academy's own people. If not... I'm afraid the Sea God Pavilion Master's position will be somewhat unstable in the future."

Zhang Lexuan sneered inwardly.

Anyone who wants to eat this flatbread can have it.

But he still feigned a look of hesitation on his face.

Upon hearing this, Mu En smiled knowingly. Sure enough, the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master was still extremely tempting for this child.

Since that's the case, we could try to use this opportunity to bring Bei Bei together.

Lu Cheng... he really couldn't see through him.

"..."
