Chapter 234: The old-fashioned doorman, a visit from an acquaintance
"Please wait a moment, I have sent someone to the academy to inform you of the person you are looking for."
At noon, Shrek Academy welcomed two guests.
As the physical face of Shrek Academy, although he is actually just a gatekeeper, Old Tom still feels that he is happy.
He was once the village chief of a small village. Although he did not have a very high level of cultivation, a Soul Lord was already powerful enough in an ordinary village of 100 households. At least his village was secure.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When he was looking forward to the stars and the moon for the Wuhun Awakening members to come to awaken the Wuhun for the six-year-old children in his village, the person he was looking forward to was not the usual one who looked down on him but was very serious. The acquaintance responsible for the children's martial soul awakening was another person whom he did not know at all.
The arrival of the stranger made him, the village chief, a little uneasy. In order to ensure the safety of the children, he decided to stay in the village temporarily, and immediately arranged for people to go to the town to find government officials to confirm the identity of the visitor, but he Unexpectedly, the visitor immediately saw through his intention to delay time, and not only relied on the Soul King's cultivation to seriously injure him, but also kidnapped two nearby villages, along with him. The children awakening in their village!
For a time, several villages were in riots. Especially after the information that Old Tom sent to the town to identify the personnel came, everyone could not sit still.
The person who had been running for more than ten years to awaken the martial spirit for the children died on the way to other villages, and the items that proved his identity were also taken away by the people who killed him. The person who killed him was most likely an evil soul master!
Although the current village is not very developed, it is undoubtedly much stronger than it was ten thousand years ago. Although there is no one with a higher cultivation level than Old Tom, there are not too many behind. The family whose children were abducted, together with all the people in several villages, went to the town government to report the incident. Under pressure, the town applied to the higher authorities layer by layer. After hearing that there was a suspected evil soul master with a cultivation level above Soul King, they finally sent someone to contact Shrek Academy.
Then, the people from the Shrek Supervisory Group arrived.
That is a soul saint! They have lived in several villages for most of their lives and have never seen a soul saint.
The Soul Saint from Shrek Academy is already at the top level in the eyes of ordinary villages like them.
As for the appearance of the Soul Saint, an evil soul master with the Soul King cultivation level would naturally not be able to cause too much trouble. After finding many clues, the Soul Saint successfully found the evil soul master and quickly killed him. No worries left.
It's just a pity...
Those children who represented the younger generation were about to change their destiny and might be able to possess soul power and successfully become soul masters, but they were not saved in time.
The evil soul master needed boys and girls for his cultivation. Before that, he had killed children from countless villages.
And he was careful in his work, never robbing children openly and openly. This can be seen from the fact that he pretended to be someone who had awakened the martial spirit to deceive.
It was just possible that he was about to break through to the Soul Emperor and was in urgent need of boys and girls. After realizing that his identity was about to be exposed, he could only tear up his face and snatch the children away. Even Old Tom was seriously injured with just a slap. Unable to retaliate, he quickly left the village with the children.
And this "accident" was the beginning of the countdown to his death.
After hearing the news of the children's death, old Tom was heartbroken and resigned as the village chief, left the village, and came to Shrek Academy alone. Under the introduction of the Soul Saint, he became a student of Shrek Academy. Watchmen.
Watching the young children learning and growing up in the academy, even though as a gatekeeper he was looked down upon by some people from well-off families from time to time, he never regretted coming here.
These children are like those dead children. Their laughter and laughter are gradually redeeming Old Tom's heart.
At this time, seeing the two people who suddenly arrived at the door of Shrek Academy, Old Tom was a little nervous.
It is not that Shrek Academy does not allow outsiders to enter or exit at all, but although it is noon now, it is not yet noon and classes are still in session. The people who come to Shrek Academy at this time are most likely not students of Shrek Academy.
Out of a sense of responsibility, Old Tom stopped them and asked them seriously about their purpose.
Who would have known that this man and woman would reveal their names as former Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy as soon as they arrived.
If he remembered correctly, all the exchange students from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy should have gone back not long ago. At this time, the two "students from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy" who came to Shrek Academy were naturally attracted by He placed a label of distrust.
However, as a mere soul master, although he could not feel the specific cultivation level of the two people in front of him, the sense of oppression was definitely felt by people with a much higher cultivation level than him.
And this further doomed him to not let people go.
Two strangers with advanced cultivation want to sneak into the academy. What if something goes wrong?
Although no one has dared to come directly to Shrek Academy to cause trouble so far, for the sake of safety, he asked about the purpose of the two people's visit, and then asked his colleagues to go and inform the student named Ji Wuchang in the academy, while he still remained silent. There was no relaxation at all.
"I said, grandpa, there's no need to look at us like that, right? We don't mean any harm."
The visitors were a man and a woman, and the person speaking was the girl among them.
Old Tom didn't speak anymore. He actually didn't show any expression, but maybe as a girl, she could slightly see the defensiveness in Old Tom's eyes.
"Please don't get me wrong, I'm just following the rules."
Old Tom answered sternly.
The woman glanced helplessly at the man beside her and muttered:
"You must have scared people. I told you not to keep a straight face every day, like a block of ice."
The man narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, his face trembled abnormally, and he revealed a smile that was uglier than crying:
"Uncle, we are here to find Ji Wuchang."
Yes, these two people are naturally the guys clamoring to come to Shrek Academy to pester Ji Wuchang.
Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen.
"Hey! You better stop laughing, you're so ugly."
Jing Ziyan wrinkled her nose and rolled her hands viciously back and forth on Ji Juechen's handsome face, trying to wipe away the ugly smile on his face.
"You're so weird. You obviously told me to keep a straight face."
Ji Juechen pushed Jing Ziyan's hand away as if he was disgusted, and returned to the cold and handsome state just now.
"Hehe, it's much more pleasing to the eye."
Jing Ziyan nodded with satisfaction, and after hearing what Ji Juechen said, she couldn't help but frown:
"I want you to smile from the bottom of your heart, not a fake smile! Don't you know how ugly your fake smile is? Why did you smile so beautifully at the sword before? Take it as a reference for yourself!"
"Please don't fight at the entrance of the college."
Old Tom shows up again to ruin the scenery.
He rolled his eyes at Old Tom helplessly, and really couldn't figure out how to offend this old man.
"Hey, you two are actually here? You came so fast."
A voice sounded in the academy, and Ji Wuchang, who seemed to be a bit tired from traveling, quietly appeared in their field of vision.
"Tsk, ever since I competed with you, this guy has been distracted all day long. He seemed to have realized something a few days ago. He stayed in seclusion for a few days, and then he happily pulled me out of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. I came here without any hesitation.”
Jing Ziyan pursed her lips:
"It's pitiful that my savings of more than ten years can't be withdrawn in a short period of time, so I can only sell them to other students, causing my net worth to be halved. It's all because of this damn bastard Ji!"
The more Jing Ziyan talked, the angrier she became, and she actually ran over and pinched Ji Juechen's neck.
"Hmph! Woman! Watch your image! Don't force me to cut you with a sword."
Ji Juechen didn't give her any face, and used his hand, which was longer than hers, to isolate the distance between the two.
"Are you the Ji Wuchang they are looking for?"
Old Tom on the side suddenly interrupted, making Ji Wuchang stunned for a moment:
"Yes, Grandpa the guard, they are my friends. They came here specially to participate in the selection of the inner courtyard. Could you please open the door."
"Hmph! I really don't know what kinds of friends you kids make outside every day. Don't think that I am easy to fool, little old man. The enrollment in the inner courtyard ended the day before yesterday. It is obviously against the rules for them to come here now."
The appearance of Ji Wuchang subconsciously made the "unkindness" on Old Tom's face melt away a lot. Ji Wuchang came from the college. Judging from his age, he was probably a fourth or fifth grade student. Since he was from his own college Of course, he will not continue to be aggressive as a student, but he still can't help nagging.
"Well, it doesn't matter if you missed the time. I'll just go and tell the teacher."
Ji Wuchang scratched his head. He, the master of the Poseidon Pavilion, didn't know much about the college's enrollment time, but he really didn't expect these two idiots to come over so quickly.
"Hmph, bring me your student certificate and I'll register."
Old Tom finally planned to let them go. "Uh... I don't think I brought any,"
Subconsciously touching his body, Ji Wuchang found that he seemed to have no impression of the student's certificate. It seemed that since he was 'forced' to become the master of the Poseidon Pavilion, no one had asked him for this student's certificate. He himself I almost forgot where the previous one was.
"Huh? There's a problem!"
Old Tom suddenly became alert:
"Your name is Ji Wuchang. Are you in fourth or fifth grade? Who is your homeroom teacher?"
"Well, I am now a student in the inner courtyard."
Ji Wuchang touched his nose. He was not wearing that sexy red school uniform, nor did he have a student certificate. It seemed that he couldn't immediately come up with something to prove his identity.
Old Tom was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that what Ji Wuchang said just now was that his friend came to participate in the selection of the inner court, so Ji Wuchang himself should indeed be a student of the inner court.
"Who...was your homeroom teacher in the outer courtyard? I'll send someone to find him."
Old Tom no longer forced Ji Wuchang to get a student certificate.
"No, I'm already here."
A familiar voice came from behind. Ji Wuchang was delighted when he heard the words, but his smile suddenly disappeared before it appeared.
"I'm talking about Ji Wuchang! You don't let me worry even if you enter the inner courtyard. You find something for me to do every day! The guards even asked where you were in the teaching building. If I hadn't happened to pass by and heard your name After asking, let me see how you end up."
The visitor was naturally the monster teacher from the outer courtyard, Zhou Yi.
With a familiar accent and a familiar tone, Ji Wuchang lowered his head helplessly.
Naturally, he was happy to see Zhou Yi. They probably hadn't seen each other for a long time.
But Zhou Yi's personality is destined to say a few words to put him down no matter what happens when they meet.
"Okay, Teacher Zhou Yi, aren't you here?"
Ji Wuchang smiled helplessly:
"Please tell Grandpa the doorman to open the door and let my friend in."
At this time, Old Tom had a serious face, but his eyes were wandering and he did not dare to look.
"Old man! This has happened several times! Why are you acting like a child who has not grown up? Do you know that several students have come to me to complain about you?"
Zhou Yi suddenly laughed angrily when she saw Old Tom.
This is also an old acquaintance!
"Ahem, don't blame Teacher Zhou. Old man, I also act according to the rules of the college."
Old Tom opened the door honestly and did not dare to embarrass himself again.
"According to the rules? You don't know that those little guys are either practicing or studying all day long. You let them carry their student certificates anytime and anywhere? How many of my students have you retained before? Are you here again this time? Don't you have a long memory? Do you have to run a few more times to pick someone up?"
Zhou Yi's wrinkled face didn't show much expression, but everyone present could feel her resentment.
"Ahem, no fighting at the entrance of the academy. You go in first."
Old Tom coughed a little embarrassedly, indicating that Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen could go in.
"You guys go ahead. Ji Wuchang will take them to the teacher you and Wang Dong'er went to before. He should still be at work. If you want to arrange for them to enter the school, you have to talk to him. I'll be there later."
Zhou Yi signaled to Ji Wuchang that he could take them both away.
"Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Zhou Yi. I'll treat you and Teacher Fan Yu to dinner when you're done!"
Ji Wuchang grinned, greeted Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan, and walked inside the students.
…………
"Teacher Zhou, don't look at me like that, old man, I'm a little scared."
At this time, Old Tom was like a mouse meeting a cat, and he was no longer as "rampant" as before.
"I'm telling you, Old Tom, don't leave others behind with this nonsense again. No one dares to come to Shrek to cause trouble."
Zhou Yi's strong tone was much softer.
"But, for the safety of the children, these must be done! Don't be careless!"
Old Tom had no intention of giving in this time.
"Hey, I know you are kind-hearted, but children at this age have bad tempers. If you meet a little guy who can't help but beat you up, it's really unjustifiable."
Zhou Yi said helplessly.
She knew that this old man had absolutely no bad intentions, but his past experiences had made him very sensitive from time to time, especially after strangers came to the college.
After all, the Soul Saint of the Shrek Supervisory Group who went to eliminate the evil soul master was her husband many years ago, Fan Yu.
As for Old Tom, Fan Yu brought him back.
As Fan Yu's wife, she naturally knew the little old man's situation.
Zhou Yi was very helpless towards him.
Want to say it? People act according to the rules and have good intentions.
Or else, with his indifferent appearance, if he encounters a student with a bad personality and cannot help but beat him up, it will be difficult to deal with him.
Although he is a soul master, Old Tom is not young anymore, so his body is naturally not that strong.
The student who beat him will definitely be held accountable by the college, but by then it has become a fact that he was beaten.
"If I'm beaten, then I'll beat him, right? Old man, I'm still in good health, so I can't die."
Old Tom waved his hand, not afraid at all.
"Okay, okay, I can't persuade you."
Zhou Yi didn’t want to waste any more words:
"I just want to remind you, don't stop that guy named Ji Wuchang in the future. No matter what he wants to do, don't stop him."
"So exaggerated? Is he the child of a certain teacher?"
Old Tom's eyes widened.
"No, don't make random guesses. His identity is unclear, so just don't stop him."
Zhou Yi rubbed her brows:
"Okay, that's it, I'll leave first, lest the little guy can't wait any longer."
Old Tom was left disheveled in the wind.
