"Is it the Sea God Pavilion meeting? It seems that it is not the time for the annual regular meeting yet? Was this meeting called temporarily by Mu Lao?"
Xuan Zi, whose hair was disheveled like a chicken coop, sat on the steps. He looked up at Yan Shaozhe, who was weak all over, and finally a trace of clarity appeared in his confused eyes.
The Sea God Pavilion meeting is the highest meeting of Shrek Academy, which decides all major events. Hearing this word, even the drunk Xuan Zi sobered up for a moment.
But it was only a moment. He didn't wait for Yan Shaozhe to answer, and his eyes fell back on the chicken leg and wine gourd in his arms. He picked up the gourd and drank a mouthful of it, and then bit off a big mouthful of meat, as if only this would make him feel better.
"Yes, I heard from the teacher that this meeting was held for Le Xuan, Bei Bei and others to discuss the training of the reserve force of the Sea God Pavilion."
Yan Shaozhe looked at the second strongest man of Shrek Academy who was almost in a state of decline with a face full of regret, and replied in a low voice.
It has only been a short time, and how high-spirited and energetic Xuan Lao was when he went to the Xingdou Great Forest two months ago .
He was the well-deserved first genius of Shrek Academy, the Taotie Douluo who was feared by the continent, and the undisputed successor of the Dragon God Douluo. After the operation was over, he was supposed to inherit the position of the teacher. If nothing unexpected happened, he would now be the new head of the Sea God Pavilion, and his teacher who had worked hard for half his life could put down his burden and have a good rest.
But now, everything has changed...
He doesn't hate Xuan Lao, he only hates that abominable 100,000-year-old beast for not having eyes and staying in his own territory to eat whatever soul beasts he wants. Why did he attack the disciples of their Shrek Inner Court! ?
Every inner court disciple is the most precious treasure of Shrek Academy. Although this incident was largely due to their own carelessness, the ending of eight deaths and four injuries is what he, as the dean of the Wuhun Department, would never want to see.
Except for one soul guide disciple, the others are all elites of his Wuhun Department! Among them are two generations of Shrek Seven Devils, who he is proud of!
Eight people died tragically, and the rest are lying on the bed. Two of them are missing arms and legs. Only Zhang Lexuan, who took the Xuanwu Divine Pill, is in a slightly better condition.
The only thing worth being happy about is that Zhang Lexuan absorbed the soul ring and soul bone of the beast and became the youngest soul douluo in Shrek Academy in 3,000 years. She is already a good seedling of the limit douluo that can be seen with the naked eye.
Even if she fails to break through the limit douluo, she can at least cultivate to level 98 in the future, which is enough to ensure the orderly inheritance of Shrek's strong echelon.
However... as soon as he thought of Zhang Lexuan's 100,000-year eighth ring, Yan Shaozhe suddenly remembered the biggest humiliation he had suffered a few days ago, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy.
That old man was also 100,000 years old and had an eighth ring. He couldn't take revenge for the time being, but he wanted to see if there would be any new powerful people born in Xuanming Sect after that old man passed away.
It was so shameless to bully him just because he had a high level of cultivation. Humiliating him like that, hum!
Xuan Zi, who was immersed in wine and meat, naturally didn't notice the change in Yan Shaozhe's eyes. He bit off the chicken thigh meat in his hand in a few bites, patted his sleeves with his greasy hands without any care, drooped his eyelids, staggered to his feet, and took the lead in walking towards the direction of Poseidon Lake.
Putting down the wine and chicken legs, he seemed to have finally regained some of the demeanor of the continent's top powerhouses. After walking for a while, he turned to Yan Shaozhe and said,
"Le Xuan and Bei Bei are both children we have watched grow up. They are the academy's own people with a good family background and the pride of our martial arts department now and in the future. Since it is about them, we must strive to get the best benefits for them."
"Of course, I believe the teacher thinks so too."
Yan Shaozhe said respectfully, and followed Xuan Zi step by step for a while, and came to the shore of Poseidon Lake. The Poseidon Island, which was hidden in the mist, appeared in their sight.
A small boat had already stopped here, and the two stepped on it. Yan Shaozhe gently urged his soul power, and the boat headed towards Poseidon Island steadily.
Seeing that Elder Xuan was still in a bad mood, Yan Shaozhe sighed and whispered to persuade him:
"Elder Xuan, this accident is not your fault, and you should not blame yourself too much; didn't Le Xuan ask you on behalf of the children to cheer up and stay in Poseidon Pavilion? None of us wants this to happen."
Xuan Zi's figure was very lonely, and he shook his head in pain, saying: "Shaozhe, you don't have to comfort me. Whenever I see that child Le Xuan, I will think of the nightmare two months ago.
A full eight long-trained inner courtyard disciples died in front of my eyes; two disciples were left with lifelong disabilities, and Le Xuan and another disciple were also injured."
"In order to train them into talents, Shrek has spent countless resources and efforts. The family forces behind several of them are not weak. The loss caused to the academy this time is too great. Only I can take this responsibility, and I don't want to forgive myself."
Yan Shaozhe's face changed, and he grabbed Xuan Zi's hand, his face excited and said:
"But Master Xuan, no one can be guaranteed to make mistakes! Those disciples should have been prepared to put life and death aside the moment they entered the inner courtyard. Every year, some of their classmates encounter misfortunes while performing the tasks of the Supervisory Group. Can you be blamed for all this?"
"What's more, the responsibility this time is not entirely on you. It also has a lot to do with the carelessness of Xiyue and Le Xuan. In addition, the strength of that 100,000-year soul beast is so strong that even two Titled Douluo may not be able to take it down. This can only mean that those disciples have bad luck."
"You have already paid a very high price for this matter. If it were not for giving an explanation to those families and disciples, why would you refuse to take over your teacher's position as the Lord of the Sea God? Master Xuan, you are the backbone of the academy, you must cheer up!"
Master Xuan sighed and said,
"Shaozhe, you don't have to say anything more. Since Le Xuan has been kneeling for a long time and can't get up, how can I bear to hurt that child's heart again? Don't worry, my old bones can still fight, and I can support you until you grow up and take over as the Lord of the Sea God."
"All I can do now is to keep this guilty body and make more contributions to Shrek and the new disciples in the future. Only in this way can I make up for the mistakes I made."
"It's great that you think so!"
Yan Shaozhe was overjoyed. Mu Lao had long been in charge of specific matters. Xuan Lao was the face of his martial arts department. As long as Xuan Lao, the second strongest man on the continent, was in charge, no matter what internal and external challenges, it would not be able to shake his position in the Shrek martial arts department!
As for that old monster Xu, he was born in a wild way after all. How could he be a match for Xuan Lao, the first genius of Shrek? Xuan Lao has been taught by Mu Lao for many years, and has been cultivated by Shrek for thousands of years. It is impossible for the Taotie Bull Martial Soul to lose to their mythical beast Xuanwu!
And Xu Tianxi, that kid, is actually a few years older than him. He has been practicing with his teacher since he was a child, and now he has two times the style of his teacher. His brother Xu Sanshi has been practicing here for a year and can barely match Beibei.
"I hope that kid has some self-knowledge and stops dreaming of entering this supreme soul master holy land, otherwise he will definitely know how pale and ridiculous his words are to question Shrek's glory..."
From Xu Xiaoyun to Xu Tianxi, looking at the nearby Sea God Island, Yan Shaozhe's sallow face suddenly rose with a bit of sarcasm. Summer insects cannot talk about ice. The little child really doesn't know the height of the world!
However, as the dean of the Wuhun Academy, it would be a bit of a loss of face to argue with this child. Perhaps I could ask Du Weilun to find out about him. It is estimated that the boy should have awakened his Wuhun by now...
At the same time, deep in the Sea God Island, in the three-story Sea God Pavilion,
Zhang Lexuan, whose complexion was much better than more than half a month ago, but still had a sickly pale look, squatted respectfully and whispered something to the white-haired old man who was half-lying on the golden bench next to him.
"...Mr. Mu, Le Xuan swears on her martial spirit that everything she said just now is true. Although Sister Xiyue's child disrespected the elders and hit Dean Yan, what Dean Yan said to the child may have been a bit too much."
"Le Xuan dares not criticize Dean Yan's approach to maintaining the honor of the academy, but Le Xuan feels that these sacred things may be incomprehensible to a child who just lost his mother, and it is understandable that he did that in a fit of rage."
"Le Xuan has already made a vow to protect Shrek for life, but during the previous Xingdou trip, if Sister Xiyue had not desperately protected me, I would have probably died in the mouth of the soul beast. So Le Xuan dared to plead with Mr. Mu for the child."
"Mr. Mu, Le Xuan begs you not to be angry at a child who is not yet sensible; if Dean Yan has any objections, Le Xuan is willing to take the responsibility for Tianxi!"
After that, Zhang Lexuan stood up and knelt down to Moon En without waiting for Moon En's response.
But before her knees touched the ground, a gentle and bright soul force supported her body, preventing her from kneeling and guiding her to stand up.
Moon's half-lying body also shook slightly under the effect of the soul force, revealing a frail face full of gentle smiles.
"Child, what are you thinking about? This time, we are indeed deeply ashamed of them. I asked Shaozhe to apologize in person just to resolve the resentment of Xuanming Sect. How could I blame a child who had just experienced the greatest tragedy in life?"
"When your senior sister Xiyue came to the academy, the ancestor of Xuanming Sect even greeted me specially. Now I think I am really sorry for them; I was unable to apologize in person because of my disability. Otherwise, let alone Shaozhe being beaten, the child would have beaten me, and there would be nothing to say."
Moon's voice was soft and warm, and every word was full of deep concern. There was a feeling of cleansing the soul, which made Zhang Lexuan's eyes moist, and she choked and said:
"Old Mu, how can you be blamed for this? No one expected that such a thing would happen..."
"Alas... I won't deny the fact that Xuanzi is primarily responsible for this matter. It was his complete dereliction of duty as the team leader that led to this misfortune. It's just that I no longer have the time or means to punish him severely. I really am powerless..."
Moon En sighed deeply with a look of melancholy on his face, and raised one hand and said, "Lexuan, help me up."
Zhang Lexuan hurriedly stepped forward and held Moon En's hand. Moon En's movements were very slow, not much different from that of an elderly man. He slowly stood up from the wheelchair, but his waist was still hunched, almost at an angle of ninety degrees.
Moon En looked quietly out the window in the distance, as if he could see Xuanzi, Yan Shaozhe and other elders and the dean who were rushing here, and whispered:
"Lexuan, my time is really running out. In no more than twenty years, I may have to leave. At that time, the only person who can inherit my position in the Poseidon Pavilion and protect Shrek Academy is Xuanzi."
"If God could give me another fifty years to train Shaozhe, you, and Beibei, I would definitely not tolerate the huge mistake made by Xuanzi, but God will not give me more years. Now Shrek must rely on his military force."
"I'm sorry, child..."
Zhang Lexuan burst into tears, just buried her head and wiped her tears.
Moon En sighed and continued,
"At this Poseidon Pavilion meeting, I will propose that you become a candidate member of the Poseidon Pavilion. After you enter the ninth ring, you will officially enter the Poseidon Pavilion and be trained as a candidate for Pavilion Master. You and Beibei are my dearest children, and I look forward to your growth more than anyone else."
"When the day comes that you become the Poseidon Pavilion Master and have the strength to surpass Xuan Zi, you can count his past mistakes, that's up to you, but now..."
"Mr. Mu, please don't say anymore. I understand. I understand everything. I will definitely practice hard and protect Shrek..."
Moon En touched Zhang Lexuan's forehead lovingly and sighed, "Child, push me to the front for the meeting."
