Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 38 He has a connection with my sect

"Hey, Chenzi's back so soon. Didn't you chat with her for a bit longer? By the way, did you already win her over?"

Inside the dormitory, Tai'an, who was helping Huo Yuhao pack up the grilling tools, couldn't help but tease Luo Chen with a smile when he saw him return so quickly.

However, upon hearing Tai'an's words, Luo Chen, who had just returned to his dormitory, revealed an angry expression for the first time under Huo Yuhao's curious gaze, and said:

"Heh, what a load of crap. I got tricked. If I didn't have some tricks up my sleeve, I might have been completely kept in the dark by those guys."

As he spoke, Luo Chen laughed in exasperation.

His own life detection ability allows him to detect the life aura of anyone within a certain range, and just now, he detected the auras of Ning Tian and Wu Feng.

He never expected that Ning Tian and Wu Feng would still be so persistent. When force didn't work, they actually resorted to a softer approach: a honey trap... How brilliant!

But what they didn't expect was that Luo Chen was a stubborn person who wouldn't listen to reason or force!

Luo Chen's reason for refusing Ning Tian was actually quite simple: he only wanted to live a carefree life and didn't want to get involved in the games of a group of children. Besides, Luo Chen hated these kinds of troublesome things.

This is a waste of time and offers no benefit. What can he gain from participating in it other than giving himself more to do? He might as well use this precious time to eat a few more grilled fish.

Furthermore, Luo Chen's mental age is far more mature than that of his peers like Tai An and Huo Yuhao. How could he be deceived by such a low-level scheme? A honey trap? That's an insult to him!

However, after hearing Luo Chen's words, Tai An's smile became even more "unrestrained," showing no regard for Luo Chen's murderous gaze.

"It's those same guys again, isn't it? If you ask me, Chenzi, you might as well just agree. After all, they don't want to harm you. Whether they help you or not is up to you. It'll save you from being tormented by them all the time."

After laughing for a while, Tai'an straightened his expression and then gave his advice.

In his view, since they were all classmates, they were a community of shared interests, so helping each other out wouldn't be a big deal.

"Well said, then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll be waiting for your good news."

Seeing Tai'an's "it's none of my business" attitude, Luo Chen smiled first, and then spoke to him.

"Brother Luo, Brother Tai, what were you guys talking about? I couldn't understand a word you said!"

Watching Luo Chen and Tai An banter with each other as usual, Huo Yuhao, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask a question.

However, it didn't matter if they didn't speak. As soon as Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, Luo Chen and Tai An's stomachs both growled. Only then did the two remember why they had come to find Huo Yuhao.

"Ahem, that's not important. Children shouldn't pry into adult matters. Yuhao, let's set up our stall now. I bet Sect Leader Tang Ya and Senior Brother Beibei are getting impatient."

Hearing Luo Chen say this, Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered that Tang Ya was still waiting, and his hands moved much faster.

However, Tai'an, standing to the side, looked at Luo Chen and the other person with a puzzled expression and couldn't help but ask:

"Chenzi, I've wanted to ask you this before: why do you call Yuhao 'Junior Brother'? And who are the Sect Master and Senior Brother you mentioned earlier?"

"Um?"

When Tai'an suddenly asked this question, Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao were both taken aback and then turned to look at Tai'an.

After pondering for two seconds, Luo Chen nodded to Huo Yuhao beside him, and then explained to Tai An, who looked puzzled:

"I can tell you, but just don't go around telling everyone. Because Yuhao and I are disciples of the same sect, that's why I call Yuhao my junior brother. And it's precisely because he's my junior brother that I take such good care of him."

After hearing Luo Chen's explanation, Tai An finally looked enlightened and said:

"I see. At first, I was wondering if you were disciples of the same master, but I didn't expect you to be disciples of a different sect."

"By the way, what's the name of your sect? A sect that can recruit two monsters like you must be quite extraordinary. Maybe I've heard of it?"

However, upon hearing this, Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao simply smiled at him without responding.

"I really want to tell you, but the sect rules don't allow it. I'll take you to see our sect leader in a bit, and then you'll know."

"Well... okay."

Hearing Luo Chen say this, Tai An was not in a hurry to ask further, since he would find out soon enough. However, what he did not expect was that the sect leader of the sect that Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao belonged to was also in Shrek Academy.

For a moment, Tai'an also felt a bit of anticipation for the sect leader that Luo Chen was about to meet. After all, Shrek Academy was not a place that just anyone could enter, and the sect leader of a sect that could take in monsters like Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao must also be an existence with extraordinary strength!

He should at least be a Title Douluo with nine rings!

Yes, that's how Tai'an imagined it to be. However, after he followed Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao out of the dormitory and headed to the stall location in Shrek Academy Square, his idea was shattered.

"Sister Xiaoya, Senior Brother Beibei!"

After Huo Yuhao called out, the two figures opposite him reacted and turned around. The two were Tang Ya and Bei Bei, who had just arrived.

"Yuhao, you're so slow! I'm starving! The stall I prepared for you is right here. You can make money from grilled fish from now on!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao running towards them, Tang Ya first complained with dissatisfaction, and then spoke to Huo Yuhao.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoya and Senior Brother!"

Seeing that Tang Ya and Bei Bei had already taken care of the stall, Huo Yuhao smiled and said.

However, at this moment, Tang Ya and Bei Bei's attention was uncontrollably drawn to Tai An, who was standing next to Luo Chen.

There's no other reason than that Tai'an's height and physique are simply too eye-catching. He looks quite young, but he has such a strong build, standing at over 1.8 meters tall, and his muscles are bursting out.

In terms of the imposing presence of his size, he was even more imposing than Bei Bei, who was a fourth-year student in the outer academy and also over 1.8 meters tall. As a result, Tang Ya and Bei Bei's attention was immediately drawn to him the moment he appeared.

"This guy looks pretty muscular, Xiao Chen, aren't you going to introduce him to us?"

Seeing that Beibei had spoken, Luo Chen first glanced at Tai'an beside him, then a smile appeared in his eyes as he said:

"Yes, Senior Brother, this is my classmate and roommate. His name is Tai'an. He's a nice guy, strong enough, and very interested in our sect. So I brought him here. I think he has a connection with our sect..."
