Douluo: Wuhun Qimen Formation, control everything!

Chapter 137 Arrangement
That night, Zhou Xuan stayed at the mansion and took care of some trivial matters.

The next morning, the teahouse next to the Zhou residence was open for business as usual, and the waiter still greeted customers with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

However, this place is remote, and apart from a few old men playing chess, there are hardly any people around.

crunch~
The gates of the Zhou residence opened, and Zhou Xuan stepped out, waving to Uncle Wang behind him: "Uncle Wang, no need to see me off."

He slowed his pace as he passed the teahouse.

His fingers slowly tapped the outside of his thigh.

Why aren't you saying anything yet?
Every time he passed by the teahouse before, the waiter would chat with him for a few minutes.

If he didn't ask soon, he would have to take the initiative, but he was afraid that would arouse their suspicion.

Xiao Er naturally saw Zhou Xuan, but he was a little conflicted. He was just an ordinary person. Although he had been trained, he still had a natural fear of Soul Masters.

However, he had protected this fear very well before, so well that Zhou Xuan hadn't even noticed it.

But now, with a guilty conscience, he naturally feels a bit uneasy.

However, if he didn't speak up soon, Zhou Xuan would leave, and if he missed this opportunity to gather information, he didn't know when the next chance would come. Moreover, if that person found out that he hadn't done anything, he would definitely not let him go.

One step, two steps, three steps.
He gritted his teeth and forced a fawning smile to try and not be too afraid.

"Young Master Zhou, are you leaving?"

Zhou Xuan's lips curled into a smile as he turned around and said, "Yes, I'm getting ready to go back to the academy."

"Um... when will Young Master Zhou be back next time?" the waiter asked nervously.

"You want to see me if you have something to do?"

Sure enough, the fox showed its tail. After a year, the other party's patience was gradually wearing thin.

"Well, my child is almost six years old, right? You're the only Soul Master I know, so I'd like to ask you to help my child awaken their Martial Soul."

Looking at Zhou Xuan with anticipation, she said, "Don't worry, I won't shortchange you a single penny."

Zhou Xuan glanced at the waiter indifferently.

"Ha, your primordial yang energy hasn't been depleted, and you're still calling yourself a child?"

How could a single guy who's never even been with a woman have a child?
Sure enough there is a problem.

However, Zhou Xuan nodded calmly: "That's fine, but I have to go on a long trip in a couple of days. How about this, I'll come back in three days, and you can bring your child with you then?"

"Thank you so much, thank you so much!" The waiter bowed repeatedly in gratitude.

However, he was actually thinking about Zhou Xuan's words.

"Three days from now? Going on a long trip?"

Because Zhou Xuan's expression was so natural, he didn't suspect anything.

"It's nothing. If there's nothing else, I'll be going." Zhou Xuan waved his hand, showing an indifferent expression.

"If you have time to come, I'll treat you to tea."

Only after Zhou Xuan had walked away did he stop smiling.

"Just as I thought. It seems this person is getting impatient. The fish has taken the bait; it's time to prepare the net. Hopefully, it's a big one."

As I approached the college gate, I could see a tall, slender figure looking around in the distance.

Zhou Xuan instinctively wanted to change direction, but Shrek Academy only had one main gate in the city, and there was no other way for him to go back.

We had no choice but to grit our teeth and move forward.

"Zhou Xuan!" Xiao Xiao waved to Zhou Xuan happily when she saw him.

“Xiao Xiao.” Zhou Xuan forced a smile.

"What? Are you unhappy to see me?" Xiao Xiao raised her fist in front of her.

"Never mind, since you're here, I have something I want to discuss with your master." Zhou Xuan didn't answer his question.

"Looking for my master? What do you want with him?"

"Something came up." Zhou Xuan didn't want her to know about the teahouse incident, mainly because it wasn't necessary.

"Alright, let's go. Master should be resting now." Xiao Xiao didn't dwell on the question. After all, if Zhou Xuan didn't want to talk about it, he couldn't get the answer out of him.

The two flew over Poseidon Lake and arrived at a secluded thatched hut.

"Master is right here."

Zhou Xuan looked around and was surprised to find that Elder Xuan lived a rather simple life.

Xiao Xiao stepped forward and gently knocked on the door of the thatched hut.

"Knock knock~ Teacher?"

No one responded.

Xiao Xiao sighed helplessly and muttered, "That's just how Master is. Once he falls asleep, it's hard to wake him up. It's hard to imagine that he's a level 98 powerhouse."

"You two seem to have a pretty good relationship."

"That's right. Although my master is usually quite unreliable and his teaching is just so-so, he's incredibly good to me, just like my grandfather." Xiao Xiao turned around and smiled sweetly.

After waiting a while and receiving no response, Xiao Xiao had no choice but to push the door open and enter.

Upon entering, Xiao Xiao's expression froze.

Old Master Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed, his large, copper-bell-like eyes fixed on the doorway.

"My dear disciple, you've come?"

"Haha, Master, you're awake?" Xiao Xiao scratched his head.

A little nervous, he rubbed his hands together nervously: "Master didn't hear me, did he? He probably didn't hear me, right?"

Old Master Xuan smiled, his face wrinkled like an old chrysanthemum.

He got up and walked to Xiao Xiao's side, patted her shoulder, and said with a half-smile, "My dear disciple, am I usually unreliable? And my teaching is just so-so? Tell me, you have quite a few opinions?"

"No, no, absolutely not." Xiao Xiao shook her head like a rattle-drum, swallowing hard.

"It's ready!"

Zhou Xuan leaned against the doorway, watching the two of them with great interest.

Elder Xuan wasn't really angry. He knew his own shortcomings, but being pointed out like that by his disciple in front of Zhou Xuan still made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Master, Zhou Xuan needs to see you. I'll be going now."

Xiao Xiao shrank back and ran towards the door. When she reached Zhou Xuan's side, she paused, put her hands together, and bowed to him, saying, "Please say a good word for me."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Xuan's reply, he left the thatched hut and closed the door behind him.

Looking at Xiao Xiao's appearance, Elder Xuan smiled helplessly: "This little guy is too disrespectful to his master."

However, his face was full of kindness.

"Speak, Zhou Xuan, what do you want with me?"

"There is something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Although Master Xuan was indeed quite unreliable before, he has changed a lot in the past year after experiencing so many things.

At least in the Soul Hunting Squad he led, there were no more casualties in the past year, and Elder Xuan was the one he knew best in Shrek. He wouldn't feel so at ease if he were looking for someone else.

Moreover, he consulted a fortune teller and concluded that there was no danger on this trip at all.

"You helped Xiao Xiao before, so please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do to help you."

"Well, I'm planning to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to get a spirit ring, but my teacher isn't available, so I came to you. After all, you're the second best in Shrek Academy."

"You're smart enough to come to me personally for something as trivial as hunting for a soul ring, right? There must be something else going on. Speak up." Zhou Xuan glanced at Elder Xuan with surprise.

Has it finally developed a brain?
It's hard to imagine that Elder Xuan could tell that he was looking for him not just because of the soul ring.

Old Master Xuan blew his beard and glared at him: "What kind of look is that, kid?"

"No, no, it's just a bit of a surprise. After all, you weren't the type to think about things so much before, were you?"

"Young man, I was indeed a bit... cough cough, but that's all in the past. My mindset has changed quite a bit in the past year."

"Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point. Someone wants to assassinate me, so I'd like to ask you to take action."

"Huh? What?" Elder Xuan's eyes widened, and his aura surged.

"Elder Xuan, please don't get agitated. Actually, I had a feeling about it half a year ago, but recently the other party has made some moves."

"Where is it? Why don't I just go and get it for him?"

Zhou Xuan shook his head: "Eliminating them isn't difficult. After all, they're in Shrek City. Even if we send out just two elders, they won't be able to escape."
I just want to know who this person is, otherwise this kind of thing will happen again and again.

Elder Xuan nodded: "What you say makes sense. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"All I need to do is have Elder Xuan secretly protect me when I leave the city. I plan to go directly to the Star Dou Great Forest after leaving the city."
I suspect they'll make their move when I fuse my spirit rings. At that point, it'll be up to you.

"You little brat, you trust me that much?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Of course~" No!
However, the last two words were not spoken. Although Elder Xuan had changed a lot, he still held the position of Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, so there was still some mystery to it.

This forced him to take precautions.

Master Xuan was merely one of his backup plans.

"Haha! Since you've put it that way, I will certainly do my utmost!"

"Then I'll take my leave. I'll come back to see you in three days!"

But then the door was pushed open.

"Haha." Xiao Xiao laughed awkwardly, "Finished talking? Zhou Xuan, are you going to the Star Dou Great Forest? Take me with you."

She only heard the word "stars" for a moment, and then she heard nothing more.

"no!"

"no!"

Seeing that neither of them agreed, Xiao Xiao shrank her neck and pouted, "Fine, I won't go then."

"Elder Xuan, then I shall take my leave now."

Xiao Xiao looked longingly in the direction Zhou Xuan had left.

"Stop looking, stop looking! If you keep looking, your eyes will grow on his body."

"Oh~" Xiao Xiao responded and obediently sat down next to Elder Xuan.

Old Master Xuan took a swig of wine and smacked his lips.

"You stay here for a while, I have to go out for a bit." Before he finished speaking, Elder Xuan's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a wine gourd dangling on the table.

Under a tree in the outer courtyard.

Moon is sunbathing here.

"Xuanzi, what brings you here?" Mu En asked with a smile.

Suddenly, a figure appeared next to the recliner.

"Sect Master, there's something I've thought about and feel I should tell you."

"Go ahead."

Elder Xuan repeated what Zhou Xuan had just told him.

However, after listening, Mu En was not as angry as Xuan Lao had imagined. Instead, he remained calm as if nothing had happened.

Elder Xuan looked at Mu En with some surprise: "Sect Master, aren't you angry?"

If Xiao Xiao were in such a situation, he would want to grind the other party to dust.

Mu En glanced at Elder Xuan and asked, "What? Do you think I'm being a little too calm?"

"Yes, after all, Zhou Xuan is your disciple."

"I went through something like this when I was young. It's something that every genius has to go through. And with us old guys protecting them, nothing serious will happen."
A true dragon cannot be raised in a cage; it's time for him to face the cruelty of this world.

However, his disciple probably knew this in his heart, which is why he didn't come looking for him.

"But Xuanzi, you've surprised me a bit. If it were before, you'd probably be at their doorstep by now, wouldn't you?"

"Sect Master, please stop teasing me." Elder Xuan smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"I was ignorant before. You've worked hard, Master. Don't worry, I won't do it again." Elder Xuan respected Mu En very much, not only as a leader but also as an elder brother.

"It's not too late now." Mu En smiled with relief. "I understand. You can go ahead and get back to work."

"Yes!"

A gentle breeze blew by, and Elder Xuan disappeared from the side.

After Elder Xuan left, Mu En narrowed his eyes, revealing a sharp glint in his eyes.

No matter what, Zhou Xuan was Mu En's disciple, and he wanted to see who had the audacity to lay a hand on his disciple.

"Hanfeng!"

A few seconds later, a tall, slender man wearing a mask appeared behind Moon.

"Lord!"

"Go and find out who did it. Also, keep an eye on Zhou Xuan. I'm still a little worried about what that Xuanzi does."

"Yes!"

brush!
The man nodded in agreement and then disappeared from the spot.

Moon then slowly closed his eyes.

This was a force he had privately cultivated before becoming the head of the Sea God Pavilion. It wasn't a large force, but every single person in it was a Title Douluo.

I've never told anyone.

Soul Guidance Department, Qian Duoduo's office.

"Zhou Xuan is here? Please have a seat." Qian Duoduo waved to Zhou Xuan as soon as she saw him arrive.

Zhou Xuan took out a stack of papers from his storage soul tool and placed them on the sofa.

"Dean Qian, this is the plan for the past year. It's a plan I've been working on these past two days. As long as we strictly follow the plan, I guarantee that a year from now, you will see a completely different Soul Guidance Department."

Qian Duoduo picked up the project plan on the table and flipped through it.

This flipping takes an hour.

Zhou Xuan wasn't in a hurry and just waited on the side.

"That's wonderful! That's really wonderful! You're too modest. If the plan here can really be realized, the Soul Guidance Department will rise by far more than just one level."

"Dean Qian, you flatter me. This is all I should do."

"But there are some parts I don't quite understand. Could you explain them to me?" Qian Duoduo wasn't a pretentious person; she asked questions directly.

"Of course, students should speak freely."
