Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 55 Discussion

After saying that, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm withdrew from Huo Yutong's mental space and returned to reality.

Seeing that Huo Yutong was awake, Deng Mu smiled and asked, "Is it Tianmeng, or Yutong?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm scratched her head: "It's me, Tianmeng. Just take what happened earlier as a joke. Xiaoyutong was a little embarrassed, so please don't take it to heart."

Deng Mu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Haha, I know, Tianmeng, you really are something, you really made Yutong angry."

At this moment, Huo Yutong called out in the mental space, "Sister Tianmeng, please let me out quickly, I want to talk to Brother Mu myself."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shrugged helplessly and handed over control of her body to Huo Yutong.

As soon as Huo Yutong regained control of her body, her face turned as red as a ripe apple. She lowered her head and whispered, "Brother Mu, don't take what happened just now to heart. Sister Tianmeng just likes to joke around."

Deng Mu waved his hand with a smile, "Don't worry, Yu Tong, I didn't take it to heart. I know it was Tian Meng joking around, so don't be embarrassed."

Immediately afterwards, Deng Mu leaned close to Huo Yutong's ear and whispered, "Yutong, actually I quite like you."

Huo Yutong's face turned even redder, her heart pounding like a rabbit's. She secretly glanced at Deng Mu, then quickly lowered her head, her voice barely audible: "Brother Mu, you...you shouldn't tease me, I...I don't know what to say."

Seeing Huo Yutong's expression, Deng Mu smiled but didn't say anything.

Looking at the unconscious Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, Deng Mu thought about using his skill to heal them.

In the distance, deep within Poseidon Lake, a dozen figures arrived at astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, they reached the shore.

The leader was an old man dressed in white. He suddenly took a step in mid-air, as if he had traveled through space, and came to Deng Mu and the others.

When Deng Mu saw the old man, he immediately recognized him as Yan Shaozhe.

When Yan Shaozhe saw Deng Mu, he was somewhat surprised, not expecting that this matter was related to Deng Mu.

Feeling the cold around him, he guessed that it must belong to Deng Muqian, whose second martial soul might possess the ultimate ice.

Yan Shaozhe looked at Deng Mu and said gratefully, "Xiao Mu, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, these students would have been in trouble."

Deng Mu quickly waved his hand: "Dean Yan, please don't say that. I just happened to be there and could help. Besides, we're all classmates, I couldn't just stand by and watch them get into trouble."

Yan Shaozhe would never believe that Huo Yutong did it, and even if he did, he would think that Huo Yutong had some secret.

Yan Shaozhe nodded thoughtfully. His gaze swept over Huo Yutong, and he did indeed sense something unusual about the girl, but he didn't delve into it further at the moment.

Huo Yutong breathed a sigh of relief; she didn't know how to explain it properly.

"Xiao Mu, come with me. I have something I want to tell you."

"OK."

Deng Mu responded and followed Yan Shaozhe to the side.

Huo Yutong watched their retreating figures with some worry, wondering what Dean Yan was going to say to Deng Mu.

After a while, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao woke up. The Shrek Academy teacher gave Huo Yutong and the other girl a pill each and then told them to go back.

……

On the other side, in a certain room.

Yan Shaozhe looked at Deng Mu and explained his purpose: "Xiao Mu, this is what happened. Ma Xiaotao's martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix, which often troubles her, causing her to go berserk and lose control from time to time. Today's incident is an example of this. Her condition is getting worse and worse, and we have been trying to find ways to help her suppress the evil fire, but the results have not been very satisfactory."

Yan Shaozhe paused, his gaze fixed on Deng Mu. "Just now by the lake, I sensed that cold power. I thought that if your martial soul truly possessed the characteristics of extreme ice, it might be able to restrain Ma Xiaotao's evil fire."

So I'd like to ask you if you'd be willing to try and help Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire within her? Of course, this process might involve some risks, and I won't force you; it's entirely up to your own will.

He actually wanted to arrange a marriage between Deng Mu and Ma Xiaotao so that they could be together, but considering the power behind Deng Mu, he decided to give up.

After hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Deng Mu pretended to think and said, "Dean, I'm willing to try to help Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire, but I can't guarantee that it will work."

Yan Shaozhe smiled and nodded. "Yes, Xiao Mu, it's very kind of you to have this intention. If you can help her solve this problem, it would be a great thing for her, and besides..."

Yan Shaozhe deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

Deng Mu looked at him in confusion. "And what, Dean?"

Yan Shaozhe patted Deng Mu on the shoulder, "And if the two of you can spend more time together and get to know each other better, it might just become a beautiful story."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"I think you're a good kid, and Ma Xiaotao is quite outstanding too. If you could get together, it would be a beautiful story in the college."

Hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Deng Mu was both amused and exasperated. Although he liked Ma Xiaotao quite a bit, he hadn't reached that level yet.

He guessed that Yan Shaozhe had the idea of ​​getting engaged, which Yan Shaozhe had mentioned in the original novel.

To completely resolve this, we still need a magical herb. We can help Ma Xiaotao solve this problem by going to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well later.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao on the bed, Deng Mu said to Yan Shaozhe, "Dean, feelings can't be forced. What if one of you doesn't like the other? Wouldn't that be awkward?"

He's definitely not going to be a simp; simps end up with nothing.

Yan Shaozhe was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then burst into hearty laughter, "Little Mu, you're quite far-sighted. I was just mentioning it casually. Matters of the heart will naturally fall into place."

Then Yan Shao said, "Xiao Mu, the academy has decided to make you a core disciple of the inner court. Are you willing?"

He had previously reported on Deng Mu and that mysterious expert, and after discussion, they wanted to make Deng Mu a core disciple of the inner academy. If Deng Mu was unwilling, then so be it.

Deng Mu was a little surprised by Yan Shaozhe's words, but after thinking about it, he agreed.

Instead of wasting time slacking off in the outer courtyard, it's better to go to the inner courtyard to obtain resources and improve strength. Since the Clear Sky Hammer changed, my cultivation speed has been much slower than before, but my soul power is very strong.

Yan Shaozhe spoke to Deng Mu and told him to go to the inner courtyard in the next few days to handle any matters that might arise.

As for where Deng Mu lives, he lives next door to Ma Xiaotao, of course.

After saying goodbye to Yan Shaozhe, Deng Mu headed towards the freshman dormitory. He figured classes had already ended, so there was no need to go to the classroom; he could just go back to the dormitory to pack his things.
