In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 64 The Contract of Indenture: Ye Tian's Heart Turns Cold

"uncle."

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Bai Ran stood up and ran to her uncle's side.

"Xiao Ran, you can go out now."

Ye Tian looked at Elder Mu sitting on the bed, the current head of the Sea God Pavilion, and also the strongest person in Shrek Academy today—Dragon God Douluo Mu En.

……

"Xiao Ye, you're here."

"Elder Mu, what brings you here?"

Ye Tian subconsciously didn't think his nephew would cause any serious trouble.

Bai Ran might be a bit mischievous at times, but if you told Ye Tian that he had actually done something serious like murder or arson, he wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death.

"Xiao Ye, about this matter... ouch..."

Moon was now in a state of utter dismay.

When asked, Bai Ran remained silent, while Dai Huabin, who had lost an arm and a leg, was still in a coma and unlikely to wake up anytime soon.

According to Xiao Zhuang, even if the treatment goes smoothly, he'll probably be a cripple for life.

Because Bai Ran was the only person present, and the Duke's guards who were supposed to protect Dai Huabin were nowhere to be seen, along with that powerful aura of a ferocious beast.

Thus, Bai Ran was accused of colluding with soul beasts and causing the death of the duke's son.

If Mu En hadn't forcefully suppressed these voices, Bai Ran would have been taken away by that elder who was close to the Star Luo Empire before Ye Tian even arrived.

"Uncle, can we trust this old man?"

Didn't I tell you to get out?

Seeing Bai Ran return, Ye Tian's tone became more powerless.

……

Although Chicken Leg Douluo is unreliable, Bai Ran is still more willing to believe Xuanzi than Mu En.

After all, as the top leader, Moon couldn't deliberately favor one side in order to maintain a balance of power among the various factions under his command.

On the other hand, what about Xuanzi?

She would definitely choose to stand behind the cook.

Bai Ran: I suddenly have a craving for Chicken Leg Douluo, am I sick? I feel like I'm pretty sick.

"Impossible! I'd stake my life on it! My nephew would never cause trouble for the second son of the White Tiger Duke's mansion without reason, much less collude with any soul beasts!"

After learning the general situation, Ye Tian became very agitated.

The conflict between humans and spirit beasts is irreconcilable.

Colluding with soul beasts is a betrayal of the soul master camp, an unforgivable act that will result in being wanted by the entire soul master world, and the consequences will be even worse than those of evil soul masters.

How could Ye Tian allow his own nephew to bear such a crime?

"But that is indeed the case, and this child is not currently a student of Shrek Academy, while the disgraced second son of the Duke's mansion is an outer disciple of Shrek Academy."

Moon let out a long sigh.

Actually, colluding with soul beasts sounds very unrealistic.

Such outrageous accusations are at best used to disgust people and have little effect whatsoever.

It's like when you default on your online loan and the debt collector calls to say they're going to shoot you.

It would be hard for any ordinary person not to laugh.

The most important issue is identity; Bai Ran is not a disciple of Shrek Academy.

Although his uncle works in the Inner Court, he himself is not a formal member of Shrek Academy.

The key point is that non-Shrek members were unharmed, while Shrek disciples were crippled.

……

"So, after working for Shrek for so many years, I'm still an outsider, right?"

Ye Tian: That's right, I'm just a small-time cook. Even if I successfully break through to the Title Douluo level, in your eyes, I'm still a cook who can't even be served at the table.

"Xiao Ye, don't get excited. Actually, I have a very good method. That is to have the little boy sign an agreement with the academy, so that from now on he will be Shrek's disciple and swear that he will never leave Shrek."

This was not a decision made by Moon alone, but a collective decision made by the higher-ups.

A genius born into Shrek Academy should be firmly bound to the academy.

If he is unwilling, the academy has no reason to protect him. "Elder Mu, why don't you take my nephew as your disciple?"

Looking at the "contract of servitude" that Mu En took out, Ye Tian felt a chill inexplicably, but he still tried to struggle a little.

As long as Mu En is willing to accept Xiao Ran as his disciple, there will be no more trouble.

"Xiao Ye, you know my condition. I no longer have the energy to teach new disciples."

Is this really the only way?

“This is the best possible outcome.”

"Why?! It was Dai Huabin who attacked me first."

Bai Ran did not accept this outcome.

"Little one, what evidence do you have to prove it?"

Mu En's words left Bai Ran speechless for a moment.

All witnesses and physical evidence have been destroyed by Dai Huabin.

As for a level 20+ Soul Master escaping alone from the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, even novels wouldn't dare to write that, right?

Empty words.

How could he explain that he escaped with the help of a soul beast?

Wouldn't that confirm Bai Ran's crime of colluding with soul beasts?

"Mr. Mu, please give us some time to consider."

Ye Tian knew his nephew wouldn't lie, but as Mu En said, Bai Ran couldn't produce any substantial evidence.

If he signs the "contract of servitude," the academy will protect him; if he doesn't, he will suffer retaliation from the White Tiger Duke's mansion, and the academy will not provide any assistance.

If Ye Tian hadn't been of some value to Shrek Academy, and if Bai Ran hadn't possessed considerable talent, he might have already been pushed out to block the wrath of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

The more Ye Tian thought about it, the colder he felt.

Is this the number one academy on the continent, the sacred place for soul masters that my sister and I longed for?

At this moment, the name "Shrek" only made Ye Tian feel somewhat disgusted.

……

Ye Tian took leave and returned to his small home in Shrek City with Bai Ran.

Along the way, Ye Tian also noticed that there were Shrek Academy experts watching him.

Ye Tian: Are they afraid we'll run away?

The last beautiful illusion in my heart was almost completely shattered the moment I returned home.

Ye Tian entered the room and took out a communication talisman from a sealed jade box.

I never thought I'd have a chance to use it in my lifetime.

……

Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"You guys have made soul tools that are as bad as crap. You are the worst class of students I have ever taught!"

Inside a laboratory, a series of roars echoed.

Just as the white-haired old man was about to continue lashing out at his disciples...

The storage ring in his hand suddenly flashed with light.

"You guys can study it yourselves first. I have to go out for a bit."

……

"My mentor is absolutely terrifying."

"How could the Dean not be terrifying?"

"Is this the dean's class?"

"Junior, didn't you check when you chose your courses?"

"I didn't want to. I chose this class because it has more credits than other classes."
