Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Inside the Sun and Moon Exchange Student Dormitory, in Sheng Yangyue's room.

The atmosphere in the room was eerily quiet. Ye Xishui sat on her bed, arms crossed, staring at Sheng Yangyue; Sheng Yangyue, however, chose to ignore her, not wanting to pay any attention to this woman.

After all, he really didn't want anyone to share the luck of the next two people with him, otherwise he would have to put in extra effort and there definitely wouldn't be enough time.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Seeing that Sheng Yangyue was treating her with cold violence, Ye Xishui finally couldn't help but speak up first, hoping to break the silence herself.

"No."

Those two short words were like a fatal blow, instantly silencing Ye Xishui who was about to speak.

She opened her mouth, but then felt there was no point in speaking, so she just snorted in a huff.

She abruptly turned her head away, no longer looking at Sheng Yangyue, and the two remained frozen in silence.

The eerie atmosphere eased slightly only after Kong Deming entered the room.

As soon as Kong Deming stepped into the dormitory, he immediately sensed the awkward atmosphere between his two students. He subconsciously took a step back, and after confirming that he hadn't gone to the wrong dormitory, he stepped forward and said, "You two pack your things. Teacher Zhao Xin will take us to eat later."

"Then I'll finish packing and wait outside."

Sheng Yangyue immediately got up and walked towards the door; he really didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

He even muttered to himself: If only I could change dorms, so that before I could finish collecting all my luck and before Tang San could find out, I wouldn't be "chopping up" by Ye Xishui with a "hammer" at night.

Kong Deming watched his hurried departure and turned to Ye Xishui, saying, "Xishui, you should hurry up and pack your things too."

"Okay." Ye Xishui nodded indifferently, but her gaze remained fixed on the figure that was gradually disappearing through the doorway, not wavering for even a moment...

Outside the dormitory

Kong Deming called Sheng Yangyue aside and asked with some curiosity, "Yangyue, did you and Ye Xishui have some kind of conflict?"

"nothing."

Sheng Yangyue shook his head. It was better for only he and Ye Xishui to know about the transaction; there was no need for others to know.

Seeing that Sheng Yangyue clearly didn't want to say more, Kong Deming remained silent for a moment, too lazy to press further, and changed the subject: "Yangyue, Shrek Academy is obviously targeting you this time, you'd better be careful lately."

Zhao Xin's actions today clearly show that this group is genuinely trying to poach players, and they're doing it openly and honestly.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have specially built a dormitory for these exchange students from the Sun and Moon.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have already felt that Shrek Academy was 'full of sincerity'.

But no one knows how many tricks and schemes are hidden behind this apparent enthusiasm. If you don't have a brain, it's easy to fall into the trap set by the other party.

Fortunately, Sheng Yangyue was no ordinary person. He nodded knowingly and said, "Of course I know."

"You just understand."

Kong Deming didn't say anything more, but as they talked, the topic circled back to the "gossip" they had just discussed. It seems that no matter who it is, everyone has a bit of a gossipy streak deep down.

Sheng Yangyue pretended not to hear anything.

He knew in his heart that remaining silent was the perfect solution to this kind of questioning!

Foreign Languages ​​Department Cafeteria Direction
On the other side, Mu En and Long Xiaoyao spent almost the entire morning cleaning the dormitory.

Both of them looked exhausted, feeling that cleaning that dormitory was almost as much work as cleaning the entire college.

They dragged their heavy steps to the outer courtyard cafeteria, but as soon as they entered, Long Xiaoyao was stunned by the empty cafeteria—there wasn't even a single seat.

He looked at Mu En in confusion: "Brother Mu, why is there not even a seat in this cafeteria? How are we supposed to eat?"

In his view, you can't just stand and eat in a cafeteria without seats, can you?

If that's the case, then it's better not to eat this meal; I might as well go back to my dorm and rest.

"That's how it is in the outer academy. Unless you're an inner academy student, there are no assigned seats in the cafeteria." Only then did Mu En remember the rules of the outer academy cafeteria and couldn't help but complain in his heart: Damn memories are starting to "attack" me again.

"But Brother Xiaoyao, even without a seat, you can take this opportunity to practice your standing posture."

"Besides, the food in the cafeteria is actually pretty good, so don't worry about it too much."

"..." Long Xiaoyao was originally planning to turn around and go back to the dormitory, but when he heard "the food is not bad", and was also curious about what the food in the cafeteria was like, he finally suppressed his exhaustion and followed Mu En to the order window.

"By the way, Brother Mu, have the exchange students from Sun Moon University arrived yet?"

After a whole morning, it seemed that Long Xiaoyao only had himself as an exchange student; he hadn't seen a single one of the Sun and Moon exchange students, which made him feel rather strange.

"Probably not yet." Mu En wasn't too sure either, since it seemed that the group of Sun and Moon exchange students were being received by his senior brother.

Just then, as if they were telepathically connected, he and Long Xiaoyao simultaneously turned to look at the entrance of the cafeteria.

Zhao Xin, along with Kong Deming and several Sun and Moon exchange students behind him, were walking into the cafeteria.

As soon as Kong Deming stepped into the cafeteria, he saw that there were no seats and couldn't help but stop and ask Zhao Xin beside him, "Teacher Zhao, why are there no seats in your college's cafeteria?"

Zhao Xin immediately explained, "Because there are too many students in the Foreign Languages ​​Department, the tables and chairs in the cafeteria take up too much space, so they are usually put away when no one is eating."

However, starting tomorrow, students from your college will no longer need to come to the cafeteria; meals will be delivered to your dormitories.

Shrek Academy students: ? ? ?

Hearing this, Sheng Yangyue, who was standing to the side, almost couldn't help but laugh.

When Zhao Xin said that, didn't he realize how ridiculously hypocritical he was?

Your future apprentice applies double standards to outsiders, but you apply double standards directly to your own students. You two, master and apprentice, are truly 'outrageous'.

Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, who had just walked over, fell silent upon hearing this.

"Brother Mu, is what your senior brother said true?" Long Xiaoyao couldn't help but ask in a low voice, feeling a vague sense that he had been tricked.

Mu En naturally knew his senior brother's task: to properly entertain the Sun and Moon exchange students and avoid any accidents.

In order to prevent his senior brother's mission from going wrong, he quickly explained, "Xiaoyao, don't overthink it."

Those exchange students from the Sun and Moon region had a special status and were very pampered, unlike the original students from the Three Kingdoms.

"If something were to happen to them in the cafeteria, it could give the Sun Moon Empire an excuse to start a war. We don't need to take that risk."

"So that's it!"

Long Xiaoyao's slight sense of imbalance vanished instantly, and he felt that what Mu En said made a lot of sense—after all, no one wanted to start a war.

"Should we go over and greet them?" Long Xiaoyao felt that he and Mu En were "unrelated people," and it would be inappropriate for them to go over at this time.

You should know that Long Xiaoyao loves peace the most.

"Let's forget about it." Mu En had a vague premonition: if he brought Long Xiaoyao close to his senior brother, something troublesome might happen.

Although he originally wanted to take this opportunity to see Ye Xishui, he thought again that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so there was no need to rush.

So he immediately turned around and led Long Xiaoyao toward the rice serving window.

But neither of them realized that Sheng Yangyue had actually noticed them long ago.

He was just wondering to himself: what would be the expressions on these two people's faces if they came over and heard Zhao Xin mention "special treatment"?
Especially Long Xiaoyao, his expression must be particularly interesting.

Unfortunately, they turned around halfway to get more rice, so he didn't get to see it.

Sheng Yangyue secretly lamented that she could only save this 'expectation' for next time.
