Xie Xie's face showed a hint of distress, "But... won't that be too hard on you?"
Yuanen Yehui didn't answer but asked meaningfully instead, "Xie Xie, do you know why we were given the title of the Shrek Seven Monsters?"
Xie Xie propped his chin and pondered for a moment before replying, "Is it because our talents are the best in the current Shrek Academy?"
He was somewhat confused about why the former would bring up the title of the "Shrek Seven Monsters"!
Yuanen Yehui pursed her thin lips, "That's only one of the factors. The bigger reason is that the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion believe that we can reach their heights and continue to guard Shrek Academy in the future!"
"So... only by improving our strength as much as possible can we live up to the Elders' expectations and become a strong support!"
With just a few words, Xie Xie's eyes shone, "Yehui, you are indeed worthy!"
Yuanen Yehui gave him a glance, "Enough about that, the Soul Master Battle organized by the federation should also have participants from Wulin and the others, right?"
Xie Xie shook his head and shrugged, "Not sure... Given everyone's current strength, they should have already made a name for themselves in the Soul Master Battle, but I've checked and there's almost no one who matches."
Yuanen Yehui said thoughtfully, "I see, perhaps they don't want to be too high-profile... "
Or maybe they don't want to face each other as opponents, so they purposely didn't participate?
Before she could continue her thoughts, Xie Xie added, "Although I didn't find everyone at the Soul Master Battle, at the Mecha Contest, there was a guy called the 'Spear King' who is very similar to Wulin!"
He had watched a match and was amazed by the opponent's skills with the "spear"!
And the reason he suspected it was Tang Wulin was the nickname, Xiao Tang!
Yuanen Yehui's expression didn't change much, "He participated in the Mecha Contest? No wonder... After all, Wulin is a level-7 blacksmith! It's a pity we can't spar!"
Xie Xie reached out and held Yuanen Yehui's hand, "Don't worry, there will be chances in the future, and maybe Wulin will even surpass you, who knows?"
But Yuanen Yehui exuded a strong confidence...
"Impossible! Unless Wulin's true strength has reached the Hyper Douluo, he can't possibly surpass me!"
Three hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, plus she had already broken through the Soul Douluo!
No matter how fast Tang Wulin's progress was, it was impossible for him to catch up in just a year or two!
...
Blacksmith Association!
Sitting comfortably in the lounge was Zhen Hua, who stretched and yawned, "Eh... It really feels unfamiliar without the old pals around!"
Just then, a knock sounded at the door...
Following that, a female worker of the Blacksmith Association walked in, and she respectfully said, "President, your lunch has been prepared!"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Hua responded indifferently, "Mm, bring it in."
Shortly after, the female worker carefully placed the lunch on the table in front of him, gave a cue, and then turned to leave...
Zhen Hua gave the meal just a brief glance before losing interest...
But he still picked up the fork and took a bite before setting it down again...
He shook his head silently, "Eh, the taste still isn't as good as what Mu Ye used to make!"
Having gotten used to the food Mu Ye cooked, he found other people's cooking bland and tasteless!
But suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, "What? The food isn't good?"
Zhen Hua, instantly recognizing the voice's owner, exclaimed with surprise, "Mu Ye, when did you come back? You didn't even notify me!"
As expected, Mu Ye appeared out of thin air in front of him with his hands clasped behind his back...
He saw the latter raise his eyebrows, "Just a short while ago, I rushed back after handling the Body Sect's affairs!"
Only then did Zhen Hua couldn't help but speak up, "Old buddy, without you around this time, I really had no appetite for anyone else's cooking!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ye got angry!
He scolded with a stern face, "You old coot, you can't even taste the food you eat, it seems I've wasted my time cooking for you these years!"
Indeed, the meal he had just prepared was cooked by himself after returning to the Blacksmith Association!
He thought that Zhen Hua would guess the chef of the dish as soon as he tasted it, but to his surprise, the other party was like a rice bucket, only knowing how to eat!
This made him feel very distressed!
Zhen Hua immediately choked up but still kept his composure and said, "Old buddy, don't be angry, I actually guessed it was you all along, after eating your cooking for so many years!"
Mu Ye asked skeptically, "Really?"
Zhen Hua nodded hastily and said, "Of course, it's true!"
Only then did Mu Ye's face soften a bit, and he said with satisfaction, "That's more like it, if you couldn't even recognize my cooking, you wouldn't know if someone else poisoned your food!"
Zhen Hua felt embarrassed and subconsciously wiped his forehead, "That wouldn't happen, no way!"
Luckily he was quick-witted, or else Mu Ye might not let it go and would feed him something inedible!
Immediately after, he changed the subject, "So, what big issue came up with the Body Sect this time you were gone so long!"
Mu Ye heaved a sigh, "Ah, it's still the problem with that useless disciple of mine!"
Even though he called him useless, his face revealed deep pride!
Zhen Hua's mouth twitched, but he still bravely asked, "Ru Heng? Has he hit a bottleneck in his cultivation again?"
This guy, always showing off his disciple in front of me whenever he gets the chance!
If it weren't for Gu Yue not being here, I would definitely have him taste this feeling too!
Mu Ye said proudly, "No... Ru Heng broke through again. I went back to check on him, and to my surprise, with just a bit of guidance he broke through!"
"So, I waited for the kid to wake up smoothly before I came here!"
Zhen Hua offered his insincere congratulations with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, "Heh... hehe, well then, congratulations, huh!"
Mu Ye waved his hand, "Zhen Hua, you don't have to be envious, once your precious disciple comes back, he's sure to surprise you... wait, maybe that kid has already forgotten about you?"
His words were dripping with undisguised sarcasm...
That statement made Zhen Hua unable to contain himself, gritting his teeth, he said, "Mu Ye, you're full of it. I just talked to Gu Yue not long ago, and the kid said he would come to visit me after he gets through this busy period!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ye said again, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, poor old man left all alone in his nest, just catching a glimpse of his disciple is so hard, unlike me, who goes back to the Body Sect all the time, worried that my disciple might miss me!"
Annoyed to the point of clenched teeth, Zhen Hua squeezed his fists and said, "Old buddy, are you really picking a fight with me today?"
After teasing Zhen Hua, Mu Ye's demeanor brightened completely, "What are you talking about, I'm just reminding my dear old friend of many years not to end up a loner!"
"Get lost!"
