Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Shrek Academy, Martial Soul Department, Dean's Office.

"Dean, a secret letter from the Heavenly Soul Empire!"

A faculty member handed a letter to Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department.

Yan Shaozhe, who held a high position and was extremely busy, gave a light "hmm" and quickly opened the file on his desk. The contents of the file surprised him.

As expected of Yan Shaozhe, a cunning and shrewd old man, his expression remained unchanged as he asked with considerable doubt, "I remember that only a few collateral disciples from the Ye family are in our academy. How come two direct descendants have arrived this year?"

"I don't know, maybe they're trying to curry favor with the academy?"

The teacher who said this made no attempt to hide his pride, and his eyes were filled with arrogance.

Yan Shaozhe ignored him and simply waved for him to leave.

"Useless trash. Would a reclusive family that has existed for four thousand years be as stupid as you?"

Yan Shaozhe muttered a curse under his breath, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

As Mu En's only disciple, he already knew a certain amount about Mu En's affairs.

He was quite worried, wondering if the Ye family knew something.

Mu En became a cripple, and he was one of the few people in Shrek Academy who knew the truth. This was now being kept under wraps by many elders of the Sea God Pavilion, who were afraid that the people of Douluo Three Kingdoms would find out.

"I hope I'm wrong, otherwise... sigh!"

Thousands of miles away, at the Ye family's residence.

Ye Zhenting called Ye Ying's entire family over. "Come on, it's just the two of us today. I'd like to take this opportunity to explain some things to Ying'er."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xin'er, Ye Qiukong, and the Yu Xuehua couple all looked at Ye Ying, who was stuffing herself with food.

With Zhang Lexuan serving him food from the side, he ate quite quickly.

Ye Zhenting's face darkened. "Xuanxuan, you don't need to worry about him. He has his own hands!"

When Zhang Lexuan looked up and saw Ye Zhenting's pale face, she put down her chopsticks.

Immediately, Ye Zhenting chuckled, "What's wrong, Ying'er? Are you still angry with your grandfather?"

Ye Ying wiped her mouth and nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, I don't like the people from Shrek Academy, and I hate their double standards even more."

Ye Ying's parents, who were standing nearby, changed their expressions and were about to reprimand Ye Ying when Ye Zhenting stopped them.

"Hehe, I hate them too. People from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, and even the Sun Moon Empire, all hate them."

Immediately, Ye Zhenting paused, "But do you know why Shrek Academy has been able to stand for ten thousand years despite being hated by such a powerful force?"

"It's because they're afraid of those few people who ascended to immortality ten thousand years ago. Otherwise, the Star Crown Sect would have wiped out the White Tiger Duke's lineage long ago."

Ye Ying pursed his lips; he had made this all too clear. If it weren't for the intervention of the Great God King Tang, how could a sect without even a Soul Emperor or Soul King have survived for thousands of years?

"That's right, this is also the key reason why the Tang Clan has been declining for more than four thousand years, and no sect has dared to exterminate the Tang Clan or plunder its secret techniques."

Shrek Academy, unlike the Tang Sect, has been powerful for ten thousand years. Especially after the great war four thousand years ago, Shrek Academy has surpassed the three kingdoms of Douluo, acting arrogantly and domineeringly, even surpassing the Spirit Hall, which they destroyed ten thousand years ago!

Ye Zhenting's words shocked Ye Qiukong. He never expected that his old man would say such "outrageous" things.

Ye Ying subconsciously looked at Zhang Lexuan, who happened to be looking at him as well.

At this moment, they realized they had misunderstood the old man.

Immediately, the two stood up and knelt down beside Ye Zhenting, apologizing in unison, "We're sorry, Grandpa (Grandpa Ye), we misunderstood you."

"Hey, you two little rascals, get up quickly."

Ye Zhenting and Feng Xin'er hurriedly stepped forward and helped Ye Ying up, gently shaking the dust off their clothes with their soul power.

Old Master Ye Zhenting squatted down and patiently said to Ye Ying, "Ying'er, I know you're very smart. You must have discovered some clues about the Zhang family's affairs. And the reason you're so angry, is it because of Le Xuan?"

The old man's words were tinged with a mocking smile, which immediately made Ye Ying blush.

Yu Xuehua hugged Ye Ying tightly and whispered comfortingly, "Silly boy, your sister Le Xuan lives with you every day and is still willing to hold your hand, you little brat. Can't you see that?"

After being lectured by her mother, Yu Xuehua, Ye Ying became much more obedient.

Ye Ying's father, Ye Qiukong, straightened his clothes and said quite seriously, "Ying'er, you're a big kid now. Don't be so impulsive in anything you do, and don't show it even if you're not happy. Also, don't accept anything from Shrek Academy, either you or Le Xuan, understand?"

In an instant, Ye Ying had a sense of understanding. How could anyone have taught him, a third-rate college student, this kind of life experience in his previous life? It was only because he had just graduated that he was left with nothing; otherwise, he would have been battered and bruised long ago.

Having said all that needed to be said, Feng Xin'er, who had been sitting silently, took their hands and clasped them together again. "Alright, Grandma knows you two little ones are very good. How about we arrange your weddings when you both reach the seventh ring in your cultivation?"

Upon hearing Feng Xin'er's words, a glimmer of hope appeared in Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes, and she softly said to Ye Ying beside her, "Let's work hard together!"

"good!"

In the following days, Ye Zhenting also told Ye Ying a lot of things to pay attention to.

Two things are crucial: first, to cultivate diligently and second, to establish connections with the heirs of families from the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

The second point concerns soul tools. If the opportunity arises, we could recruit some soul masters for our family.

Although the Sun Moon Empire tried its best to block it, in the last hundred years, many people who originally belonged to the Douluo Three Kingdoms still saw the advantages of soul tools.

Even the royal families of the Douluo Three Kingdoms are increasingly valuing soul tools...

The day before their departure, Ye Qiukong took out a pair of silver-white ring storage soul tools. "These soul tools are called White Frost. Each one has twenty cubic meters of space. You will each have one."

Ye Ying took a white frost, but the white frost was the size of an adult, and it was a bit too big for him.

With no other option, Ye Ying had to wear it on her thumb, but it was still a bit too big!

Ye Qiukong witnessed this and lightly smacked him on the head, annoyed. "You brat, who told you to wear it like that? Hang it up with a string!"

Zhang Lexuan chuckled, her bright smile making Ye Ying feel comfortable, but glancing at her father who was eyeing her menacingly, Ye Ying chose to behave herself.

Immediately, a pair of clear eyes looked towards the southeast, which happened to be where Shrek City was located.
