Ten days later.

At Shrek Academy, Wang Dong was beside herself with worry.

Not only had Qingfeng-gege disappeared, but now Huo Yuhao was also missing.

It wasn't just Wang Dong who was anxious. On Sea God Island, Xian Liner and Yan Shaozhe were also on pins and needles, constantly looking out towards Sea God Lake to see if anyone was coming.

"Dean Yan, when exactly will Qingfeng and the others return? They've been gone for over half a month. I hope nothing untoward has happened?"

Xian Liner asked with a frown. They were currently sitting in a pavilion next to the Sea God Pavilion.

Yan Shaozhe sighed, "To be honest, I don't know when they will return. However, I don't think there should be any major problems. After all, it was the teacher who personally took action. If they encountered a spirit beast or spirit master who could cause the teacher to suffer a loss, then there's nothing we can do."

"That's the problem, Teacher has a serious back injury. What do you think will happen if they encounter that level of danger?"

Xian Liner said seriously. She didn't want anything to happen to her teacher, nor did she want Su Qingfeng to be in danger. He was the best candidate for a Limit Single Soldier and an unparalleled genius in learning Soul Guidance Devices.

Hearing Xian Liner's words, Yan Shaozhe was also stunned. "Junior Brother is just getting a second Soul Ring. It shouldn't be a crisis of that magnitude, right?"

"That's hard to say. In other words, if it were an ordinary thousand-year Soul Beast, Teacher could solve it with a wave of his hand. They should have returned long ago, but they haven't. This indicates that they might have encountered something tricky.

Secondly, Dean Yan, you can't possibly fail to sense that Junior Brother's first Soul Ring wasn't simple. It's also possible that Teacher is obtaining a similarly extraordinary second Soul Ring for Junior Brother."

Xian Liner stated her judgment. As a Soul Guidance Master, she possessed a wise mind, which allowed her to learn Soul Guidance Device knowledge and use Soul Guidance Devices skillfully.

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe immediately stood up. "I'll send people to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Teacher and them. I need to inform Le Xuan and the others to take action."

"Alright, stop worrying so much. Although this old man is old, I'm not that useless. I won't die so easily."

也就在这个时候,未见其人,先闻其声,一道熟悉的声音从海神湖外传来.

At that moment, before anyone could be seen, a familiar voice echoed from outside Sea God Lake.

仙琳儿和言少哲脸上都露出了笑容,对着那声音的来源范围望去,很快,就出现了几道身影.

Xian Liner and Yan Shaozhe both smiled, looking in the direction of the voice. Soon, several figures appeared.

"弟子恭迎老师回院."

"Disciples welcome Teacher back to the academy."

言少哲和仙琳儿都对着来人拱手行礼.

Yan Shaozhe and Xian Liner both bowed to the newcomers.

只见穆恩提着一个不太脸熟的少年的衣领从海神湖外飞来,后面是一个容貌绝顶的少年,马小桃在他的左手边,少年的右手则牵着一头有些像金毛狮的魂兽,那头魂兽竟然可以在水面上行走.

They saw Mu En flying in from outside Sea God Lake, holding the collar of a young man they didn't recognize. Behind him was an extremely handsome young man, with Ma Xiaotao on his left. The young man's right hand was holding the leash of a soul beast that looked somewhat like a golden-haired lion. That soul beast could actually walk on water.

仙琳儿和言少哲面面相觑,怎么回来还带了一头魂兽?等等...那魂兽,好像不简单...

Xian Liner and Yan Shaozhe exchanged glances. How did they come back with a soul beast? Wait… that soul beast didn't seem simple…

言少哲再定睛一看,认出来了霍雨浩,也认出来了三眼金猊.

Yan Shaozhe took a closer look and recognized Huo Yuhao, and also recognized the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"是瑞兽!!!"

"It's the Auspicious Beast!!!"

Mu En placed Huo Yuhao on the shore of Sea God Island and landed.

Following them, Su Qingfeng and Ma Xiaotao also came ashore.

Huo Yuhao looked curiously at the surrounding environment, like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. He hadn't expected there to be an island in the center of the Sea God Lake, and it was so beautiful.

"Dean Yan? Huo Yuhao greets Dean Yan!"

Yan Shaozhe had shown his face at the Martial Soul Department's freshman competition. Huo Yuhao remembered him. Someone like him was the most distinguished person they, the outer court disciples, could ever see.

Unexpectedly, even Dean Yan was Mu En's disciple. Then wasn't Qingfeng-ge his junior brother? And was Little Tao-jie Dean Yan's disciple?

No wonder Qingfeng had a special student status. His background was too powerful!

"Little fellow, I remember you. A student from Zhou Yi's class, right? How did you get here?"

Yan Shaozhe smiled at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao immediately replied, "I encountered Mu En, Qingfeng Ge, and Xiaotao Jie while hunting soul beasts. I was only able to return safely thanks to them."

Yan Shaozhe nodded. "Your rank is still too low. It's too dangerous to hunt for soul rings alone. In the future, you can ask the academy's instructors for help, or team up with your classmates. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously.

"Teacher, is that soul beast an Auspicious Beast? Really an Auspicious Beast? You actually brought back the Three-Eyed Golden Lion! It's said that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion has a very powerful soul beast guardian."

Xian Liner circled around Su Qingfeng, making sure he was alright. Then, her attention was drawn to the Auspicious Beast.

"Woman, stay away from me, and stay away from the Star Master too. Your gaze makes me very uncomfortable."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion spoke, moving closer to Su Qingfeng.

Seeing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's attitude, Yan Shaozhe understood. It seemed that this Auspicious Beast had been attracted back by his junior brother.

"Alright, from today on, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion will stay on Sea God Island. This has its benefits. Auspicious Beasts can naturally accelerate the cultivation speed of living beings and promote the flow of soul power. With it here, Sea God Island will become a sacred place for cultivation. You, and the children in the inner courtyard, like Le Xuan and the others, will benefit in the future."

"This Three-Eyed Golden Lion belongs to Qingfeng, don't any of you get any funny ideas."

Mu En said calmly.

Xian Liner and Yan Shaozhe both chuckled: "Teacher, what are you saying? We can't wait to give our best things to our junior brother, how could we possibly compete with him?"

"Right, junior brother?"

The two of them looked at Su Qingfeng in unison. Su Qingfeng nodded; it had to be said, Yan Shaozhe and Xian Liner were pretty good to him.

However, Su Qingfeng wouldn't feel unworthy either; all of this was because he was good-looking and highly talented.

Mu En smiled: "I never thought that you two, you old rivals, would make up because of Qingfeng. I feel like I'm seeing your old selves again."

"Tch, who made up with him? At most, we both just think highly of our junior brother. I was blind back then, falling for a jerk." Speaking of this, Xian Liner's expression soured, and she gave Yan Shaozhe a look.

Yan Shaozhe didn't say anything, just sighed.

Actually, Xian Liner and Yan Shaozhe were a couple before, but Yan Shaozhe was young and frivolous, and also a bit of a playboy. In the end, he disappointed Xian Liner.

Adding to that, Xian Liner had a fiery temper. In a fit of anger, she married the yes-man Qian Duoduo in name only. Not long after, Yan Shaozhe believed it to be true and also married Cai Meier, the current vice-president of the Martial Soul Department and another member of the Sea God Pavilion.

Mu En stopped there, not continuing to bring it up, and instead said to Yan Shaozhe:

"Alright, let's not talk about the past anymore. Let's all do well now and in the future."

"Shaozhe, you go immediately to inform the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. Tomorrow afternoon, we will hold an emergency Sea God Pavilion meeting."

After Mu En finished speaking, Yan Shaozhe's eyes widened:

"Teacher, another Sea God Pavilion meeting? This is the second time this year. What major event is happening again?"

"You'll find out when the time comes. This matter is crucial, it determines the future of the entire continent. I don't need to ask anyone else, but the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, those above level ninety-five, must be present."

Mu En stated firmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Yan Shaozhe was shocked, and Xian Liner was also taken aback.

The last Sea God Pavilion meeting, held for Su Qingfeng, hadn't seen Mu En take things this seriously!

"Alright, I'll immediately issue an emergency notification and gather the elders."

Yan Shaozhe nodded and immediately set off.
