After finishing the day's diary, Ao Yao, who had obtained the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and the Rakshasa God Position, strolled out of the dormitory.
As soon as he stepped out, Ao Yao saw Ning Tian and Wu Feng waiting downstairs.
Without hesitation, the two stepped forward, one on each side, hooking onto Ao Yao's arms, and walked towards the teaching building under the envious gazes of the freshmen.
Dai Huabin was also among them.
Of course, the dominant emotion in his heart wasn't envy, but irritation.
Seeing Ao Yao so intimate with Ning Tian and Wu Feng made him think of Zhu Lu.
Although they had never been this intimate before, Zhu Lu had always stayed by his side, and would never ignore him like she did now.
Even in the same class, Zhu Lu would deliberately avoid him, choosing to sit with other girls, and recently hadn't even spoken a word to him.
Dai Huabin had thought about asking what happened, but Zhu Lu didn't give him the chance; even when he went to the girls' dormitory, she wouldn't even give him a second glance.
However, Dai Huabin didn't want to keep sucking up to her.
In this generation of the Zhu family, Zhu Lu was the only legitimate daughter. His elder brother Dai Yueheng had no engagement when he was young, and it was impossible for him to marry someone so much younger like Zhu Lu. As for Dai Luoli, born of a concubine, it was even more impossible for him to marry the Zhu family's legitimate daughter.
Therefore, the one to marry Zhu Lu would only be him.
Thinking of this, Dai Huabin snorted coldly, making up his mind to give Zhu Lu the cold shoulder for a while.
Ao Yao didn't know Dai Huabin was silently observing him, nor did he know Dai Huabin's thoughts, but even if he did, he wouldn't care.
Without the fun of watching Huo Yuhao get beaten up, Dai Huabin had become insignificant in Ao Yao's eyes.
Speaking of which... he wondered how that guy Huo Yuhao was doing after leaving Shrek Academy.
As the child of destiny of the Douluo World, even if Electrolux had been snatched away by him, he probably wouldn't be doing too badly, right?
Maybe he's already been taken back by the Primal Being Sect by now.
"Ao Yao, look!"
Ning Tian's slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded in his ear. Looking in the direction Ning Tian was pointing, Ao Yao saw a group of people.
To be precise, nine people.
The person walking at the very front was Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Shrek Academy Martial Soul Department. One step behind Yan Shaozhe was a young girl who looked no older than eighteen, bright and moving, extremely beautiful, with bright blue eyes, fair and lustrous skin, wearing a flowing pale gold long dress, giving an impression of flawless perfection.
Overall, her style was somewhat similar to Ning Tian's beside him, but she was slightly older and had a more mature figure.
Behind the girl were seven boys and girls of similar age, their eyes clearly showing curiosity and anticipation, along with a faint sense of competitiveness.
To have Yan Shaozhe accompany them personally... what is their background?
Ao Yao was curious, "Ning Tian, do you know them?"
"I don't know them."
Ning Tian's voice was light and matter-of-fact, but Ao Yao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
If you don't know them, why the fuss? I thought you did!
"However... judging by their attire, these people should be either rich or noble."
"Princess Jiujiu?"
Just as Ning Tian finished speaking, an exclamation came from behind the three of them.
Ao Yao turned around and saw a shocked Dai Huabin.
Realizing his slip of the tongue, Dai Huabin immediately glared at Ao Yao and walked away, but his face looked somewhat confused.
Why would Princess Jiujiu come to Shrek Academy?
Ao Yao didn't care about Dai Huabin's final look; his attention was entirely on the words "Princess Jiujiu" from Dai Huabin's mouth.
Could it be... the visitor is Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire?
Then... are the people behind her the members who will represent Star Luo Royal Academy in the Soul Master Tournament?
Why is she here at Shrek Academy instead of staying in the Star Luo Empire or selling things at her Starlight Auction House?
It couldn't possibly be for him, right?
Actually... it might really be possible.
After all, in the original work, such a plot never happened—Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen appearing at Shrek Academy was at least something that happened in the original work, and Meng Hongchen explained it was a bit earlier, which he could barely accept.
But... the original work never mentioned Xu Jiujiu bringing people from Star Luo Royal Academy.
However, he couldn't arbitrarily judge that Xu Jiujiu could also see his diary. After all, with him around, the storyline of unrivaled tang sect had already deviated significantly. Even Huo Yuhao had been expelled from Shrek Academy, so it wasn't impossible for something like this to happen.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng on either side of Ao Yao looked at each other, both seeing the realization in each other's eyes.
No doubt about it, this Princess Jiujiu can also see Ao Yao's diary!
Although there was no basis for this judgment, it was a woman's intuition!
...
"Princess Jiujiu, how about we arrange for the students of Star Luo Royal Academy to study in the sixth grade?"
Facing Xu Jiujiu, Yan Shaozhe had to focus a bit.
Although the students of Star Luo Royal Academy didn't really catch his eye, Xu Jiujiu was, after all, a princess of the Star Luo Empire, representing the Star Luo Imperial Family. Furthermore, the Star Luo Emperor Xu Jiawei had personally written a letter with sincere words, so he naturally had to be a bit more polite.
Hearing this, a gentle smile blossomed on Xu Jiujiu's face, and her voice was soft as she said, "Dean Yan, just call me Jiujiu."
"However... as far as Jiujiu knows, the standard for Shrek Academy's Inner Court is under twenty years old and reaching the cultivation of a Spirit King. Several of my Star Luo Royal Academy students have already reached this standard. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for them to only study in the sixth grade of the Outer Court?"
Although Xu Jiujiu had come to Shrek Academy to get in touch with Ao Yao, since she had brought the students of Star Luo Royal Academy, she naturally had to be responsible for them.
Studying in the sixth grade of the Outer Court was still too shabby.
This Dean Yan Shaozhe was certainly planning well.
Several have already reached Spirit King?
Yan Shaozhe's heart skipped a beat, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
It seems the strength of this year's Star Luo Royal Academy representative team is quite good!
Unfortunately, the person you will encounter is Shrek Academy's once-in-a-century Genius Disciple, Ma Xiaotao!
A look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on Yan Shaozhe's face: "So several students have already reached the five-ring cultivation level. That was indeed my oversight. In that case, you should all enter the Inner Court to study together."
