Peerless: You've already become a Title Douluo, and this is the first time you've come to

Chapter 23 Are you and your apprentice really this efficient?

"Ma Xiaotao..."

Chu Ge was stunned. Even though he had considered many possibilities, he never thought that the other party would be talking about Ma Xiaotao.

Is this really as simple as just showing someone around?

"She's a student at Shrek Academy's inner court, and a member of this year's Shrek Seven Devils..."

"Her cultivation has been at a bottleneck for a long time, so there's no rush to continue. It's perfectly fine for us to take walks together from time to time."

Yan Shaozhe spoke with an upright expression.

"Elder Yan, to be honest, I have explored the entire Shrek Academy, from the smallest blue silver grass on the ground to every corner of the outer and inner courtyards."

Chu Ge smiled and pretended not to see the other party's deeper meaning.

That old rascal Yan Shaozhe... his real intentions are not what they seem.

He treated Yan Shaozhe as a senior, but Yan Shaozhe didn't simply regard him as an ordinary junior.

"We still need it."

"Having someone to guide you makes a difference compared to not having one. You're all the same age, so being together will definitely be beneficial."

"Moreover, she is also my disciple. Although her strength is far inferior to yours, she is still a prodigy of this generation. You two can have more discussions and exchanges."

He spoke with an earnest expression and an upright demeanor, until the very end when his true colors were revealed.

"..."

Chu Ge smiled but remained silent.

He didn't intend to expose Yan Shaozhe's ulterior motives.

The last sentence of those words is probably the most important to the other person.

I really didn't expect them to contact me like this. It's all for this one thing—to put it nicely, it's to let two people of the same age have a good chat, but actually…

Isn't this just setting someone up? Besides, it's someone acting as a matchmaker, coming directly to him on behalf of his apprentice.

"Ma Xiaotao is indeed a prodigy of this era; her talent is truly terrifying."

Chu Ge thought to himself silently.

Ma Xiaotao was indeed around the same age as me, and her talent was indeed quite good; she was already a high-level Soul Emperor.

Although he appeared exceptionally weak in front of me, it was only because he possessed the system. His talent was one in a thousand years in the Douluo Continent.

Unlike him, who's just a cheat, he's a true genius.

Even with the influence of the evil fire, the fact that he could break through to the Soul Emperor level before the age of twenty clearly demonstrates his talent.

"If it weren't for Zhang Lexuan, who is even more monstrous, Ma Xiaotao would be unmatched."

When Chu Ge came to his senses, he saw the person in front of him looking at him quietly, as if waiting for an answer.

This is the first time Yan Shaozhe has found such a suitable son-in-law for his apprentice; he must recruit him.

As a former playboy, he knew very well that such a good guy must be in high demand, and if he didn't seize the opportunity now, it would be even more difficult in the future.

Most importantly, Xiao Tao's evil fire does indeed need to be suppressed. As her strength gets closer and closer to that of a Soul Saint, it is now becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry.

Although Chu Ge's ultimate ice technique couldn't help the opponent, the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul itself possessed an extremely rich life force, which might have some effect. Besides...

Even if it's useless, the opponent's strength is far, far greater than Xiao Tao's. This huge suppression of strength can even completely suppress the evil fire.

"So what if there is no ultimate ice?"

"One force can overcome all laws."

Yan Shaozhe's eyes gleamed. The person in front of him was strong enough that suppressing Xiao Tao was a piece of cake.

"I'll meet with her sometime."

Chu Ge said calmly.

He had a feeling that Yan Shaozhe had probably made a preemptive decision and informed Ma Xiaotao later.

Besides, he'll inevitably run into the other person again after his mission at Shrek Academy, so there's nothing wrong with making friends.

Flowers fall without feeling, but water flows with intention. I just don't know if, with the person in front of me acting as matchmaker, they can truly be just ordinary friends.

"OK."

Seeing that the other party had agreed, Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up, and a surge of joy welled up in his heart.

Stable.

The first step has been successful. As for how things will develop from here on out, he believes that Xiao Tao can do a good job on her own.

This son-in-law/apprentice relationship should be negotiable. That means he shouldn't have to wait long to hold his little grandson...

Well, it seems I've been thinking a bit too far ahead.

Since there's nothing wrong with my young friend Chu Ge, it's time to call him my disciple.

"Xiao Tao".

"Come over at noon today and have lunch with your teacher. There are some things I need to tell you."

Yan Shaozhe calmly took out his soul-guided communicator, dialed Ma Xiaotao's number, and said with a smile.

"Okay, teacher."

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone quickly, and then the call ended. This scene left Chu Ge speechless.

It's not mud.

So... Yan Shaozhe hasn't told Ma Xiaotao yet!

"Is Dean Yan always this efficient?"

Chu Ge looked thoughtful. He was starting to wonder if Ma Xiaotao would launch a surprise attack, but it turned out she wasn't even aware of the situation.

"Uh, let me call her over."

"Young friend Chu, my apprentice is not as talented as you. Please forgive him if he does anything wrong."

"If there's anything she did wrong, just tell her directly; she's very receptive to advice."

Seemingly sensing Chu Ge's change in mood, Yan Shaozhe coughed lightly and then said this.

Ma Xiaotao hadn't been at the academy for the past few days, so he hadn't had a chance to inform her. Meeting her directly today was obviously more appropriate.

"No talent."

Upon hearing such a comment, Chu Ge shook his head helplessly. A Soul Emperor who is not even twenty years old, and you call that a lack of talent?

How can a 20-year-old Soul Emperor who absorbed his deceased wife's soul ring possibly be rational?

"Alright."

"Dean Yan, I suddenly remembered I have some things to attend to, so I'll have to go now. I'll be back at noon."

Looking at the unreliable Yan Shaozhe in front of him, Chu Ge said in a less-than-calm tone.

If you can hide for a while, then hide briefly.

"Teacher, I'm here."

The next moment, a light female voice rang out, causing his expression to pause again.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, a red figure appeared before him, with a full figure and excellent looks.

She was wearing a long, deep red dress, but it didn't look out of place on her at all; on the contrary, it suited her perfectly.

This was none other than Ma Xiaotao, a powerful figure from the inner court, the captain of this year's Shrek Seven Devils, and the one Yan Shaozhe had just been about to introduce to him, who was summoned over with a single phone call.

"Young friend Chu Ge."

"It seems you don't need to go back first."

Yan Shaozhe looked at Ma Xiaotao with a smile, then turned his gaze to Chu Ge, his smile widening.

"..."

Chu Ge was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Didn't we say we'd have lunch? Why are we having lunch now...?

"It must be fate that we became master and disciple."

"You two, master and disciple..."

"Is it always this efficient?"
