Peerless Tang Sect: Bind to God King Tang San at the beginning

Chapter 61 Encounter with Zhang Lexuan

After changing his clothes, Deng Mu went to the inner courtyard canteen. While going through the formalities, he asked about the location of the canteen.

He learned from his teacher that the meat in the inner courtyard cafeteria was all from soul beasts and was said to be delicious, but he had never eaten it and didn't know the details.

Deng Mu walked hurriedly through the winding bluestone path, around several buildings with carved beams and painted rafters, and finally saw the vermilion gate of the cafeteria. The two big words "Canteen" were engraved on the plaque of the door.

Entering the cafeteria, Deng Mu was a little surprised at the situation inside. The hall had a high dome, painted with grand scenes of many soul beasts hunting and fighting. Under the bright lights, it looked like living creatures walking around, adding to the fantasy atmosphere.

The tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and most of them are made of thick solid wood.

I sighed in my heart that the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard were really worlds apart. There was not even a chair in the outer courtyard, but it was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into the inner courtyard.

However, there were not many students in the cafeteria. They were probably in class or training. This was somewhat similar to the daily routine at university in his previous life. However, here, besides studying and training, there was obviously more time to arrange on one's own.

Deng Mu walked towards the food window, and the sound of his shoes hitting the ground was particularly clear in the empty hall.

The chefs behind the window are busy in an orderly manner. Steam is rising from the stove, and various cooking utensils are making crisp sounds. The rich aroma of meat fills the air, and it penetrates into the nose, making people's appetites surge.

After ordering a few dishes, Deng Mu found a seat and sat down to eat.

"good."

Deng Mu took a few bites and commented secretly in his heart.

I guess if Wang Dong knew about this, he would be so envious that he would die.

After finishing his meal, Deng Mu left the cafeteria and wandered aimlessly in the inner courtyard, wanting to familiarize himself with the college.

When passing by the martial arts training ground, a person caught Deng Mu's attention.

The other person had long black hair that reached down to her waist, a delicate face that was fair and flawless, and a calm and gentle temperament.

"Senior Le Xuan, you're amazing."

"Of course, Senior Sister Le Xuan is a genius at Shrek Academy."

Several students were whispering about Zhang Lexuan not far away.

When Deng Mu learned that the other person was Zhang Lexuan, he looked at her with some surprise. He didn't expect that he would meet Zhang Lexuan by such a coincidence.

He remembered that Zhang Lexuan liked Beibei, but Beibei treated her as a family member.

Beibei's life is almost arranged. She is chosen as one of the new generation of Seven Monsters. She will then compete to gain fame, take the entrance exam for the inner courtyard, and then marry the eldest senior sister. She will steadily take over Yan Shaozhe and the Poseidon Pavilion. If nothing unexpected happens, the next generation leader will be either Beibei or the eldest senior sister.

Because of the sudden appearance of Tang Ya and then Huo Yuhao, all preparations were wasted. Now his appearance seems to have changed the situation.

These things are none of his business. He just needs to do his own thing and save the fate of those who are on good terms with him.

Moreover, the two of them probably won't have much interaction in the future.

Thinking of this, Deng Mu stopped looking at Zhang Lexuan and walked towards the dormitory area.

When he was almost at his dormitory, Deng Mu was slightly stunned when he saw Ma Xiaotao standing at his door.

Ma Xiaotao's iconic long red hair fluttered gently in the breeze like a dancing flame. She stood at the door with her arms folded across her chest.

After coming to his senses, Deng Mu came to Ma Xiaotao and said with a smile, "Sister Xiaotao, why are you here?"

The last time they met was in the Star Dou Great Forest. They hadn't seen each other since then. At that time, Ma Xiaotao was reluctant to let him go and asked him to come to Shrek Academy to find her.

Ma Xiaotao looked at Deng Mu, a smile on her lips, and said, "Why, can't I come to see you? I heard that you entered the inner courtyard, so I wanted to see how you are doing."

Deng Mu scratched his head and replied with a smile: "Sister Lao Xiaotao, I'm sorry for worrying about you. I just entered the inner courtyard and am getting familiar with everything."

As he said that, he opened the dormitory door and invited Ma Xiaotao in.

After entering the dormitory, Ma Xiaotao looked around, then sat down on the sofa. Her long fiery red hair was casually scattered behind her, making her look even more bold and casual.

Deng Mu stood aside and said, "Sister Xiaotao, I don't have anything to treat you, just some ordinary tea." Then he went to pour tea.

Ma Xiaotao waved her hands and said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite to me? I'm not here to eat or drink for free. I just wanted to ask you if you're adapting to the inner courtyard. It's not as easy as the outer courtyard here. There are so many experts here."

Deng Mu handed the tea to Ma Xiaotao, sat down beside her, and said seriously, "Well, I know, Sister Xiaotao. I'm slowly getting familiar with the environment, and I can feel that the competition here is quite fierce, but I will try my best to keep up with everyone."

Ma Xiaotao took a sip of tea, put the cup on the table, pinched Deng Mu's face and said, "Thank you so much for that day. If it weren't for you, several students might have died because of me."

Deng Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sister Xiaotao, what are you talking about? Under the circumstances at that time, I certainly couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Anyone else would have helped."

Ma Xiaotao shook her head gently, her eyes serious. "Don't say that. When that evil fire erupted, I couldn't control it myself. If you hadn't appeared in time and used that special method to help me suppress it, the consequences would have been disastrous. Those students would have been in danger. I would have been so guilty."

Thinking of what the teacher said to Deng Mu that day, his face turned red.

She had already woken up at that time, but because the teacher and Deng Mu were talking about her, she pretended not to wake up yet and eavesdropped on their conversation. She woke up only after Deng Mu left.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao blush suddenly, Deng Mu felt puzzled and asked, "Sister Xiaotao, why are you blushing like this?"

Ma Xiaotao glared at Deng Mu and said angrily, "I'm not blushing, it's just that the weather is too hot."

Deng Mu couldn't help laughing after hearing Ma Xiaotao's obvious excuse: "Sister Xiaotao, it's quite cool in this room. It's not hot at all."

Ma Xiaotao blushed even more when she heard this. She raised her hand, pretending to hit Deng Mu, and said, "Humph, you dare to tease me, kid? I said it's hot, so it's hot. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Deng Mu smiled and nodded in agreement with Ma Xiaotao, but in his heart he thought she looked really cute and funny. He didn't want to really make Ma Xiaotao angry. After all, when Xiaotao got angry, it was really hard to deal with.

Seeing that Deng Mu no longer objected, Ma Xiaotao snorted and leaned back on the sofa with her arms folded across her chest. However, the blush on her face had not completely faded, and she looked a little different and cute.
