Upon hearing Qian Chen's simple and straightforward request, Yu Mengdi's face showed a hint of difficulty.
"What's wrong, Yu Mengdi? Is there some difficulty?" Qian Chen asked immediately, taking the opportunity to activate his Eye of the Mind.
"Yes, Team Leader Qian Chen. I have been studying at the Zhengtian Academy, and Zhengtian Academy has nurtured and protected me. I once promised the dean of the Zhengtian Academy that I would return to the Zhengtian Academy to become a teacher after graduation." Yu Mengdi immediately explained her difficulties.
Qian Chen, through his Eye of the Mind, saw that Yu Mengdi was telling the truth, nodded, and said, "Not forgetting past kindness, Yu Mengdi, shows that you have a good nature, which I like. But have you ever thought about why they let you participate in the Soul Master Tournament knowing that you have Angel Martial Soul? And why were you alone in danger outside Star Luo City? Where are your teachers and classmates?"
Hearing Qian Chen's question, Yu Mengdi felt embarrassed for the Zhengtian Academy. But after all, it was her own academy, and she didn't want it to be remembered as a place that abandoned its students.
However, Qian Chen's Eye of the Mind saw through everything Yu Mengdi was thinking. This Zhengtian Academy had actually abandoned Yu Mengdi after encountering the Evil Soul Master.
Qian Chen said calmly, " Yu Mengdi, I admire your loyalty to your Zhengtian Academy. But if they betray you, please put away your loyalty and think about yourself and the Angel Clan."
Yu Mengdi looked at Qian Chen with confusion. She didn't understand how the academy had ever wronged her except when facing a powerful enemy and being forced to abandon her to protect everyone else.
Qian Chen said, "Alright, wait here for me for a moment. I'm going back to Star Luo City to get something for you."
Yu Mengdi didn't know what Qian Chen was going to get for her, so she could only nod and say, "Okay, Team Leader Qian Chen. I'll wait for you here."
After Qian Chen finished speaking, he looked at Pan Long and said, " Pan Long, you stay here and talk to Yu Mengdi."
"Yes, brother."
Qian Chen then summoned the Seven Kill Sword. He stood on the Seven Kill Sword, and his figure flew towards Star Luo City at lightning speed, like a shooting star.
Qian Chen traveled back and forth quickly, and soon retrieved the Surveillance Linked Soul Tool that had been placed in the hotel where Zhengtian Academy was staying.
When Qian Chen took the item out, Yu Mengdi asked curiously, "Team Leader Qian Chen, what is this?"
"This thing is called Surveillance Linked Soul Tool. Place it in a location, and it can record the images and sounds of that area for a certain period of time," Qian Chen explained.
"Oh." Having received the answer, Yu Mengdi looked at the Surveillance Linked Soul Tool with even greater curiosity.
"I hope that after you read what your team leader and captain Ye Wuqing said while you were away, you will reconsider whether you want to return to the Zhengtian Academy."
"Yes," Yu Mengdi replied earnestly.
Soon, Qian Chen took out another Screen Soul Tool and connected it to the Surveillance Soul Tool. Then, the Screen Soul Tool displayed an image.
Yu Mengdi recognized the place immediately; it was the meeting room their team had rented at the hotel. Yu Mengdi blurted out, "This is our meeting room."
Qian Chen nodded without speaking. Soon, Qian Chen switched the time to when the leader of the Zhengtian Academy Team and Ye Wuqing were alone in the conference room.
In the scene, Ye Wuqing said to the leader of the Zhengtian Academy, "Teacher, let's change hotels. I've noticed that there are a lot of fierce-looking, sinister-looking Soul Master at the hotel lately. I suspect they are Evil Soul Master. They must be after Yu Mengdi."
The teacher from Zhengtian Academy Team also looked worried, saying, "I knew it. Yu Mengdi would be targeted by Evil Soul Master Evil Soul Master sooner or later, but I didn't expect them to be so fast."
Ye Wuqing said again, "Then teacher, let's leave quickly, we can't stay in this hotel!"
The team leader said helplessly, "It's no use, even changing hotels won't help. Forget it, don't tell anyone, especially Yu Mengdi. The most important thing is to persevere in the competition and get good results."
Ye Wuqing nodded and said, "Teacher, but what should we do after our competition? The Evil Soul Master wants to kill Yu Mengdi. What if we get caught in the crossfire? I've heard that Evil Soul Master are ruthless!"
The leader of the Zhengtian Academy Team looked at Ye Wuqing seriously and said, " Wuqing, let me tell you, in this Douluo Continent, the strong prey on the weak. When the time comes, if the Evil Soul Master who come to intercept Yu Mengdi are weak, we will defeat them head-on and gain a good reputation for protecting our students with our lives."
Ye Wuqing nodded, agreeing with the team leader's statement.
Then the leader of the Zhengtian Academy continued, "If we can't win, then we'll have to abandon Yu Mengdi to save everyone. After all, attracting the Evil Soul Master is her problem."
With just a few words, Yu Mengdi was already in tears. She never expected that the academy had known all along that she would attract the aggression of Evil Soul Master, but had not told her, and had even planned to abandon her. At this moment, Yu Mengdi seemed to have matured a lot.
"Team Leader Qian Chen, I understand. I will not be returning to the Zhengtian Academy."
Qian Chen nodded, immediately turned off the Surveillance Linked Soul Tool, and put it back into the Storage Soul Tool.
"Team Leader Qian Chen, to repay you for saving me, I'll allow you to join Watch Valley."
Qian Chen was quite pleased to see Yu Mengdi agree.
Then Yu Mengdi said, "However, I would like to ask Team Leader Qian Chen a question."
"You say it," Qian Chen said directly.
"Team Leader Qian Chen, can you tell me why you're so insistent on me joining Watch Valley?" Yu Mengdi voiced her doubts.
From the first time Qian Chen Yu Mengdi came to the hotel to find her, to the swift rescue in Star Luo City and the slaying of the enemy, to the final moment when Qian Chen carried her back to Watch Valley, the sense of security Qian Chen gave her was real, causing the heart of this nineteen-year-old girl, Yu Mengdi, to begin to flutter.
"Because you and I are both members of the Angel Clan. And there are far too few of us Angel Clan left."
Hearing Qian Chen's answer, Yu Mengdi felt a pang of disappointment. So Qian Chen saved her only because she was Angel Clan.
Yu Mengdi was quite clever, and then asked, "Team Leader Qian Chen, do you intend to develop the Watch Valley you've established into something like the Spirit Hall in the future?"
Qian Chen nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, I am the patriarch of the Angel Clan, so naturally I must find a way to restore the glory of the Angel Clan."
Yu Mengdi immediately said, "Team Leader Qian Chen, I am now willing to sincerely join Watch Valley and contribute to the revival of the Angel Clan."
"Yes, very good. From now on, you will live in this Watch Valley and treat it as your home. Cultivate diligently. Don't worry about cultivation resources, Soul Ring, and Soul Bone; I will arrange everything for you."
"Yes, Team Leader Qian Chen." After saying that, Yu Mengdi seemed to realize that addressing him that way was inappropriate, and remembering that the people of Watch Valley all addressed Qian Chen as the Great Valley Master, she quickly changed her address, "Yes, Great Valley Master. In the future, if the Great Valley Master has any orders or needs me to do anything, just tell me directly, and I will definitely do my best for the Great Valley Master."
Through his Eye of the Mind, Qian Chen saw that Yu Mengdi wasn't lying; she truly wanted to contribute to the revival of the Angel Clan. Qian Chen thought for a moment and said, "It's good that you have this intention. I just remembered something I can entrust to you."
