Upon hearing this, Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan walked side by side to Mu En. Looking at the couple, who seemed like a perfect match, Mu En couldn't help but think of his lifelong regret: Ye Xishui. She was the woman he had truly loved.
Qian Chen continued to use his Eye of the Mind, clearly seeing that Mu En was thinking about a woman named Ye Xishui. He further learned from Mu En's thoughts that Ye Xishui was actually an Evil Soul Master, and a Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, the largest Evil Soul Master organization. Qian Chen was greatly surprised, never expecting Mu En to have such a secret. Thinking of Ye Xishui, Mu En couldn't help but think of the person who had ruined his life, yet was also his lifelong friend, Long Xiaoyao.
At this moment, Qian Chen learned from Mu En's inner thoughts that there were actually two Limit Douluo in this world: Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.
Seeing the chaotic and complex emotions in Mu En's heart, Qian Chen could only sigh inwardly, "Teacher, the feelings between the three of you are truly tangled and difficult to unravel. But since you like her, Teacher, I will definitely kill Ye Xishui in the future and send her to see you."
Mu En put away his memories, looked at Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan, and slowly said, "After Yan Shaozhe and Cai Mei'er took charge of the Sea God Pavilion, the Martial Soul Department will be without a leader, so you two will take charge. As for who will be the head dean and who will be the deputy head dean, you can discuss it yourselves. At the same time, you two will both serve as Sea God Pavilion Elder and have voting rights in the Sea God Pavilion."
These words immediately caused concern among those present. Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan were simply too young. Zhang Lexuan was only at the Soul Douluo level, while Qian Chen looked even younger, having participated in the Soul Master Tournament just three years ago. Could these two young people truly hold their positions as the Dean and Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department, and even be included among the Sea God Pavilion Elder?
Zhang Lexuan looked at Qian Chen Qian Chen, wanting to confirm his attitude. Qian Chen stepped forward and said loudly, " Mu En, rest assured, Lexuan and I will ensure the continued glory of the Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department."
Seeing that Qian Chen had agreed to take over the Martial Soul Department, Zhang Lexuan no longer hesitated and immediately stepped forward, saying, " Mu En, rest assured, Qian Chen and I will definitely manage the Martial Soul Department well."
"Alright, I believe in you and Qian Chen." Mu En looked at Zhang Lexuan, his eyes filled with affection and reluctance. " Lexuan, since you came to the Shrek Academy, you have never disappointed me or the other elders even once. I really wish you were my own granddaughter... What a pity."
Mu En's words were intended to reinforce the bond between Zhang Lexuan and Shrek Academy one last time. In his view, as long as Zhang Lexuan did not leave Shrek, Qian Chen would not go back on his promise to take care of Bei Bei for life, nor would he take action against the Shrek Academy.
Zhang Lexuan was already in tears, choking back sobs as she said, "Don't worry, Mu En Lexuan, I promise you, I will never leave Shrek Academy."
Mu En then turned to Qian Chen and called out, " Qian Chen."
"Teacher." Qian Chen responded quickly, his expression showing urgency.
" Bei Bei has been bewitched by Tang Ya and is now completely despondent. If he isn't disciplined strictly, his life will probably be ruined," Mu En said helplessly.
Qian Chen comforted her, "Teacher, don't worry, with time, Bei Bei will naturally get out of her depression."
Mu En shook his head and slowly said, " Qian Chen, you promised me three conditions to repay my kindness in saving Lexuan's life. Bei Bei was ignorant, and he wasted the last one. Now I won't force you to leave the Tang Sect... But if Bei Bei continues to be so decadent, he will never be able to reach the Soul Douluo, let alone the Titled Douluo level."
Through his Eye of the Mind, Qian Chen could already see what Mu En was about to say, and anxiously urged, "Teacher, Bei Bei will definitely cultivate diligently after she comes out, so please don't worry."
Mu En continued, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, " Qian Chen, I have a favor to ask of you. You don't need to hunt those two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone for Bei Bei anymore. Instead, you should take Bei Bei as your disciple, just like your disciples Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, and pull him out of his despair."
Mu En had witnessed Huo Yuhao's battle with Wang Dong. Qian Chen had only trained Huo Yuhao for ten days, yet the boy had undergone a complete transformation. Mu En firmly believed that even if Huo Yuhao didn't use his Soul Tool, he would still be able to defeat Wang Dong.
Qian Chen never expected that Mu En would be able to set aside his pride and make such a request in front of everyone, on his deathbed. He stood there stunned, his three Sea of Consciousness operating wildly at the same time, desperately trying to figure out how to reasonably refuse or how to maximize his benefits.
Before Qian Chen could come up with a solution, Yan Shaozhe advised, " Qian Chen, you are also a disciple of the teacher, so just agree to the teacher's request. You have a knack for teaching disciples, and I think you are the only one who can teach Bei Bei well right now."
Cai Mei'er added, " Qian Chen, this is my teacher's wish. I beg you, in my own name, to grant my teacher this final request."
Qian Duoduo said in a deep voice, " Qian Chen, you are the youngest Titled Douluo in thousands of years of the Douluo Continent. Bei Bei's talent is not bad either; she's just troubled by love. Promise your teacher that I, Qian Duoduo, owe you a favor."
Xian Lin'er added, " Qian Chen, promise your teacher, I owe you a favor too."
Immediately afterward, the other elders began to offer their advice. Feeling morally blackmailed by everyone, Qian Chen was extremely displeased, but he couldn't think of a way to extricate himself. He turned to look at Zhang Lexuan.
Zhang Lexuan also wanted Qian Chen to agree to Mu En's request, but she knew that Qian Chen had already done so much for her. She didn't speak, nor did she try to influence Qian Chen's decision with a hopeful or disappointed look.
Qian Chen understood her feelings from her expression; whatever decision she made, she would support her. This made Qian Chen feel much better.
In less than a minute, with all three Sea of Consciousness operating simultaneously, Qian Chen had already arrived at the optimal solution to this matter. He would take Bei Bei as his disciple, but he would primarily use him as a tool to facilitate future control of the Shrek Academy by leveraging Bei Bei's reputation as the grandson of Mu En.
Seeing that Qian Chen finally agreed, Mu En's heart finally settled down. The other elders also breathed a sigh of relief. If Qian Chen had insisted on not agreeing, both sides would have been embarrassed. If Mu En had died of anger prematurely, Shrek Academy would have completely lost face.
Just as Mu En was experiencing a final burst of energy and entrusting his affairs to the elders, Bibi Dong and the Golden-Feathered Scarlet Eagle had already arrived outside the villa where Bei Bei was being held captive. Bibi Dong looked around and saw that there was only one Soul Saint disciple from the Shrek Academy guarding the villa.
Her eyes were filled with murderous intent. She hadn't killed anyone in a long time, and besides, Shrek Academy had been her enemy for ten thousand years.
Golden-Feathered Scarlet Eagle sensed the undisguised killing intent emanating from Bibi Dong and couldn't help but shudder. Seeing that Bibi Dong was about to kill directly, he worried that such reckless action would affect Lord Qian Chen's plans, and quickly advised, "Lord Rakshasa God, are you planning to kill the Soul Saint guarding this place directly, and then go in and capture that person named Bei Bei?"
Bibi Dong nodded without hesitation. "Although I am currently only in a soul form, killing a Soul Saint is still a piece of cake."
Golden-Feathered Scarlet Eagle quickly said, "With Rakshasa God personally taking action, success is naturally assured. However, Xiao Jin have an even better method. Would Lord Rakshasa God be willing to hear it?"
