Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 525 Elder Mu's Last Words
"Children, don't cry."

A faint smile appeared on Old Mu's aged face, and a blush appeared on his originally bloodless face.

At that moment, his spirits seemed to lift somewhat.

"Teacher." Di Qianqiu could no longer control her emotions, her voice choked with sobs.

Beibei was also sobbing uncontrollably. He knelt down with a thud, and his cry startled everyone else.

Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meir, who were standing behind Mr. Mu, also knelt on the ground at the same time, tears in their eyes.

"Xuanzu."

Great-great-grandfather? This is clearly a generational title: father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and then great-great-grandfather! None of them knew that Beibei was actually a descendant of Elder Mu.

Old Master Mu smiled at the children in front of him: "Silly children, why are you crying? I have been in this world for more than two hundred years, which is more than the vast majority of humans. Isn't such longevity something to be happy about?"

"I have spent almost my entire life at Shrek Academy. Being able to protect the academy and watch children like you grow up one after another is the greatest pride of my life."

"Seeing your vibrant spirits makes my heart feel younger. Today, I am leaving, but I hope you will see me off happily. Looking at you, and all the students of Shrek Academy, I can die in peace."

Old Master Mu said, "I'm about to leave, and I have some things I must tell you, Xuanzi."

Elder Xuan quickly squatted down next to Elder Mu. Because he was too excited, his messy beard was trembling.

Old Master Mu sighed softly and said, "Xuanzi, you are not young anymore. Don't get so emotional. I'm not leaving completely! Even if I die, I will always protect Shrek Academy."

"Listen up, all of you. After I leave, Xuanzi will temporarily take over as the head of the Sea God Pavilion. As long as he is here, everything will remain the same as before."

“However,” Elder Mu’s eyes suddenly turned serious as he scanned Elder Xuan, Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin’er, and other high-ranking members and elders of the Sea God Pavilion, “you must remember what I told you before. Don’t think that just because you are old and senior, you can ignore what others say. You must remember that we are now in an era that is very likely to be a point of great change. Your past experience is no longer enough.”

Upon hearing Elder Mu's words, Bei Bei and the others looked bewildered, unsure of what Elder Mu meant.

However, Elder Xuan, Yan Shaozhe, and others clearly understood that Elder Mu was giving them a final reminder of Huo Yuhao's importance.

"Yes." Elder Xuan and the others all straightened up at the same time, and the elders also respectfully agreed.

Old Master Mu nodded slightly and spoke again in a low voice: "Shao Zhe, Mei'er, you two come here."

"Teacher." Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier quickly stepped forward and knelt down next to Old Master Mu's recliner.

Old Master Mu said in a deep voice, "Shao Zhe, actually, you are the one I worry about the most. You lack a certain magnanimity in your personality."

"I'm giving you ten years to change all of this. After ten years, come to the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion to meditate. If you fail the test I give you, then you will step down as dean."

Yan Shaozhe trembled, but dared not utter a word of rebuttal, and respectfully replied, "Yes, teacher."

"Mei'er." Elder Mu's gaze fell upon Cai Mei'er. "Teacher." As the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, Cai Mei'er held a high position and great power at Shrek Academy, yet she acted like a little girl in front of Elder Mu.

Elder Mu was noticeably gentler with her: "I have seen all the contributions you have made to the academy over the years. If Shao Zhe cannot pass my assessment in ten years, then he will enter the Sea God Pavilion, and you will take over as dean. Also, after I leave, that girl Le Xuan will be promoted to vice dean of the Martial Soul Department and enter the Sea God Pavilion."

"Yes, teacher, please don't die!" Cai Meier suddenly threw herself onto Old Master Mu and burst into tears.

Master Mu raised his hand and gently patted her head, then said to Yan Shaozhe, "Shaozhe, your teacher hopes you understand why I'm so strict with you. Also, protect your junior brothers and sisters, understand?"

Yan Shaozhe glanced at Di Qianqiu. Although he didn't know the true identity of his junior sister Di Qianqiu, he was well aware of the importance of his junior brother Huo Yuhao.

He looked deeply at Elder Mu, abruptly wiped away the tears in his eyes, and said solemnly, "Teacher, I understand. I will definitely not let you down. Shrek will not fall because of your departure."

Old Master Mu finally smiled slightly. "Good, it seems you've really taken this to heart. Take Mei'er aside; I don't have much time left."

Before leaving, Elder Mu clearly had many things to instruct.

Yan Shaozhe nodded gently, then took another deep look at Elder Mu before helping Cai Meier to stand aside.

"Lin'er, Duoduo, you two come here."

Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo hurriedly knelt down beside Old Master Mu. Xian Lin'er's tears flowed no less than Cai Mei'er's, and she was sobbing uncontrollably, unable to speak.

Old Master Mu sighed softly and said, "Lin'er, do you know what your biggest flaw is?"

Xian Lin'er looked at Elder Mu with tears in her eyes.

Old Master Mu said gently, "You child, you are too easily swayed by emotions, and your personality is too rigid. If you were born a man with this personality, I would definitely let you take Shao Zhe's position, and I could confidently entrust you with more responsibilities for Shrek Academy."

"But as a woman, your personality flaws are magnified without your knowledge, and the entanglements of your emotions prevent you from focusing on improving yourself. Otherwise, your achievements would have already surpassed Shao Zhe, instead of being stuck at the threshold of Super Douluo and unable to break through."

"I am very relieved to entrust the Soul Guidance Department to you and Duoduo. You both have enough pioneering spirit, and the accelerated development of the Soul Guidance Department will depend on you. The future development direction of Soul Masters will definitely be combined with Soul Guidance Devices, but I don't know how to go down this path. It will require your joint efforts to explore and discover it."

"Also, you need to maintain good relations with the Spirit Pagoda, especially with the Soul Guidance Hall Master that Yuhao found. Communicate with him more often when you have time; it will benefit the development of our Soul Guidance Department."

"After I go there, I will appoint Fan Yu as the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department. I hope that within ten years, the Soul Guidance Department can produce a level nine Soul Master."

Xian Lin'er just kept nodding, while Qian Duoduo supported him from the side, respectfully agreeing.

Elder Mu sighed softly and said, "As the master of the Sea God Pavilion, I will issue one last order."

Upon hearing this, all the elders stepped forward and knelt down on one knee.
