"Elder Mu, which senior do you need to invite? Or should I take Lao Qian to Teacher Lu's place to prepare a small gift to invite that senior?" Yan Shaozhe pushed Qian Duoduo's big face away and said.
Despite being slapped by Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo wasn't angry and nodded in agreement with his words.
He was also eager to know which senior figure or great expert needed Elder Mu to invite.
Could it be a reclusive master who went into seclusion two hundred years ago?
Looking at the expressions on their faces, Moon couldn't help but smile.
In their minds, they were the most powerful people in the world, so they were naturally surprised to hear that there was a powerful being they needed to invite.
"Shao Zhe, you know that senior you mentioned too," Mu En said slowly, drawing the character "dragon" in the air with his left hand.
Yan Shaozhe's expression changed instantly, and he said, "You mean, that Dragon Emperor senior?"
Moon nodded slightly. "Back when you were little, we used to meet quite often."
Yan Shaozhe shuddered, as if recalling a distant memory: "That senior was quite nice, just a little too enthusiastic!"
"Hehe, that old man even considered taking you as his apprentice when you were young, and even had the idea of taking you as his godson. With him taking action, I believe Nanxiao will be safe and sound." Mu En leaned back in his chair quietly, a smile on his lips.
He hadn't seen his old friend in a long time.
"Oh? Old Yan! You even had a godfather?" Qian Duoduo's eyes suddenly lit up.
The heavy responsibility on her shoulders was suddenly lifted, and Qian Duoduo returned to her usual self, always joking with Yan Shaozhe.
Since Mu En said that Ye Nanxiao would return safely, Yan Shaozhe also breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing Qian Duoduo's teasing, Yan Shaozhe's competitive spirit flared up again.
"I didn't! This just shows how popular I was when I was a kid! Not only was I exceptionally talented, but I also attracted a lot of attention! That was the Dragon Emperor, you idiot!" Yan Shaozhe glanced at Qian Duoduo with disdain.
"Hey! You're quite proud of yourself! But it does seem like something to be proud of, after all, you almost got accepted by the Dragon Emperor." Qian Duoduo was a little flustered at first, but then he realized that if he had been favored by a big shot when he was young, he would have been proud too.
"Listening to you is like not listening at all. I'm leaving, Old Qian!" Yan Shaozhe bowed to Elder Mu and then left the room.
Listening to the Lord's words is like listening to the words.
Qian Duoduo was also thinking of finding out more about Yan Shaozhe's childhood, hoping to hear some funny stories to use as material for making fun of Yan Shaozhe in the future.
Moon continued to bask in the sun quietly, the warmth making him feel drowsy, and his thoughts drifted back to a long time ago.
"Old man, it's been a hundred years since we last met, hasn't it? Will we ever have a chance to meet again?" Moon suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
Long Xiaoyao had promised to send Ye Nanxiao back, but would he show up in person?
Yan Shaozhe and his companion had just stepped out of the Golden Tree.
"Hey Lao Yan! Don't rush off like that! Tell me more about how you were noticed by the Dragon Emperor back then!" Qian Duoduo put her arm around Yan Shaozhe's shoulder and asked with a grin.
"What's wrong, Lao Qian? Are you feeling down or just too happy today? Do you want to pry into my glorious childhood to rub salt in the wound?" Yan Shaozhe smiled calmly.
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo rolled her eyes dramatically. "Tch! Old Qian, you think too highly of yourself. How many times have you successfully humiliated me over the years?"
"I simply wanted to get to know my dear friend better!"
Yan Shaozhe sneered, "Five hundred and three times. Counting the last time, that makes five hundred and four. Old Qian, there are some things that my memory can still remember."
"As expected of you, Yan Shaozhe!" Qian Duoduo punched Yan Shaozhe on the shoulder.
"However, it's nothing to brag about. I was brought back by Elder Mu back then, as you know. When I was almost ten years old, Senior Dragon Emperor came to Shrek Academy and met Elder Mu. I happened to be right next to Elder Mu at that time," Yan Shaozhe recalled slowly.
"At that time, the Dragon Emperor took a liking to me at first sight, saying that he had a good feeling about me. In the following days, he took great care of me and was unusually enthusiastic, but I felt something was strange at the time."
Qian Duoduo asked, "What's strange?"
Yan Shaozhe's expression was somewhat strange as he continued, "I always felt that the way Senior Dragon Emperor looked at me was a bit odd, too enthusiastic, especially after he learned that I was an orphan. He became even more eager, as if he were treating me like his own child."
Qian Duoduo's eyes widened. "Really? You were so likable when you were little? How come you're so annoying now?"
Yan Shaozhe's eyes immediately turned hostile. "Old Qian, hasn't it been a long time since you've sparred with me?"
"Ahem, I just blurted it out. Go on, I won't interrupt you!" Qian Duoduo quickly changed the subject.
However, he still felt he was right and that Yan Shaozhe deserved a beating.
This is not Qian Duoduo's fault. He and Yan Shaozhe are not only rivals and friends, but also love rivals.
"Back then, I was in my prime and declined Senior Dragon Emperor's suggestion. However, I later heard from Elder Mu that Senior Dragon Emperor had considered taking me as his disciple. But at that time, I had already become Elder Mu's disciple, so there was no master-disciple relationship between me and Senior Dragon Emperor." Yan Shaozhe shook his head slightly.
He was still young at the time and had long known about his origins. He harbored deep resentment towards his stranger parents who had abandoned him, and he would not listen to anyone except Elder Mu.
In the end, Long Xiaoyao left disappointed. However, Yan Shaozhe still doesn't understand why Long Xiaoyao felt that he and Yan Shaozhe were destined to be together.
In fact, it wasn't just Long Xiaoyao who felt a strong connection at the time; even Yan Shaozhe himself felt a strange sense of familiarity with Long Xiaoyao.
Qian Duoduo mimicked Ye Nanxiao, stroking her chin and placing one hand on her collar as if fiddling with a bow tie, jokingly saying, "You're not related to the Dragon Emperor Douluo, are you? Your luck is just too incredible!"
Yan Shaozhe shrugged. He didn't know what was going on either. Maybe, as Ye Nanxiao said, fate is just a mysterious thing.
"However, since Elder Mu has persuaded Senior Dragon Emperor, it's only a matter of time before Little Fox returns to the academy. Now I can finally stop trying to distract Little Peach." Yan Shaozhe said with a relaxed expression, walking with a swagger.
"Aren't you afraid that Xiao Tao will come after you after she finds out the truth?" Qian Duoduo said, clicking her tongue.
"You don't understand, Old Qian! One is my precious disciple, and the other is my son-in-law. They are both my darlings! Do you know how much pain I've endured?" Yan Shaozhe put his hands behind his back, and with a light leap, he reached the other side.
Qian Duoduo suppressed the urge to berate Yan Shaozhe. "My precious son-in-law? You were itching to kill Ye Nanxiao, who stole your precious disciple."
A student was sitting on a chair on the shore. Upon seeing Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo gracefully land, he quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Dean Yan and Dean Qian."
Yan Shaozhe turned his head, his gaze falling on the student, and nodded, saying, "Ci Yuan, you're back at the academy?"
Shen Ciyuan scratched his head and laughed, "Yeah, I still think the academy is more free!"
Qian Duoduo, who was following behind, heard Shen Ciyuan's words and, deeply influenced by Ye Nanxiao, was immediately puzzled. "Freedom? Why do you say that?"
"No, no, it's just that I feel a bit less restricted. After all, being confined to the courtyard every day without having to go out, and having my meals fed by others, is too restrictive!" Shen Ciyuan said with a sigh.
"Hehe, your words are truly enlightening. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." Qian Duoduo slipped away without a trace.
What kind of restrictive life is this? He had heard the story of Shen Ciyuan being constantly pursued by Luo Xinyao. This story of a woman pursuing a man had developed into several versions on the Shrek Academy student forum.
I heard those girls mention it when I went to Tang Clan for a guest appearance.
Yan Shaozhe watched Qian Duoduo escape with a smile. He knew about her situation. He reached out and patted Shen Ciyuan on the shoulder. "It's nothing. Since you're back, stay a little longer. Your inner court assessment is still pending. We're just waiting for you to go to the inner court."
Shen Ciyuan frowned slightly. He returned to the academy only to avoid Luo Xinyao's secluded little dark room. As for the inner courtyard, Ye Nanxiao said that it was the life of an extremely responsible tool, full of troublesome things. He was a person who hated trouble, so he decided to forget about it.
What he longed for was a free and unrestrained life, free from all worries.
As long as I'm doing well, that's all that matters. If one person is fed, the whole family isn't hungry.
"Dean Yan, I remember I failed the inner court assessment last time, didn't I? According to the rules, I can't take the assessment again for five years," Shen Ciyuan said.
Yan Shaozhe looked at Shen Ciyuan with a meaningful gaze, and the latter felt a chill run down his spine.
"Ciyuan, I heard you and Nanxiao have a good relationship," Yan Shaozhe said.
"That's right! That's my best friend! Although it's just my opinion." Shen Ciyuan grinned.
"Hehe, then remember to attend the inner court assessment on time next month. Last time you got Nanxiao to beat you up before the exam, probably to improve your defense. This time, I will personally oversee the assessment, so don't try to be clever like Nanxiao this time." Yan Shaozhe patted Shen Ciyuan on the shoulder.
"Afterwards, I gave Nanxiao three times the amount of rare metals. Nanxiao told me everything and even gave me a lot of suggestions for the assessment."
Yan Shaozhe left laughing, as if he saw his own daily banter with Qian Duoduo reflected in Shen Ciyuan and Ye Nanxiao.
"Shrek, will there be another dean who constantly bickers with each other?"
"Dean Yan, where is that bastard? I want to beat him up!" Shen Ciyuan's fists hardened when he heard that he had been betrayed by Ye Nanxiao.
"I'm still in the Sun Moon Empire, I'll be back soon." Yan Shaozhe stroked his beard.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Shaozhe saw Shen Ciyuan take out his Martial Soul Mirror, pull it open with both hands, and then walk into the mirror.
