Chapter 53 Not Just My Sister
The elders present all understood the thorny nature of Ma Xiaotao's problem with her internal fire.
It can be said that if it weren't for the influence of the evil fire, Ma Xiaotao's talent would probably have broken through to the Soul Saint level long ago.
The student with the ultimate ice martial soul is precisely the key to solving this problem.
Once the two are together, not only will they be able to completely eradicate Ma Xiaotao's hidden evil fire.
It is likely that in the future, Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul will undergo a transformation as a result, evolving into a true Fire Phoenix and mastering the power of ultimate fire.
Thinking of this, the elders all showed joy, as if they could see the future prosperity of Shrek Academy.
Xian Lin'er snorted coldly, staring at Yan Shaozhe and saying, "Yan Shaozhe, you've got a good plan, but have you asked Xiao Tao's opinion?"
Xianlin'er's words were not unfounded.
According to Yan Shaozhe's previous statement, Ma Xiaotao is probably still unconscious. As a result, Yan Shaozhe hastily convened a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion and, in just a few words, wanted to settle Ma Xiaotao's life-long marriage.
After being publicly confronted by Xian Lin'er, Yan Shaozhe's expression immediately became somewhat awkward.
Cai Meier, standing beside him, reacted quickly, maintaining a gentle and polite smile on her face, and said:
"Dean Xian, you are mistaken. Shao Zhe is Xiao Tao's teacher, and my husband and I treat Xiao Tao like our own daughter."
We, as elders, naturally understand what the child is thinking. There's no need for Dean Xian to worry about it for us.
Cai Meier's words were veiled in barbs, both deflecting Xian Lin'er's questions and implying that Xian Lin'er was an outsider and shouldn't interfere in the matter.
When Xian Lin'er heard Cai Mei'er's words, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she couldn't say anything more.
After all, in reality, this is indeed a family matter between Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier, and it would be going too far if she continued to make a fuss about it.
She glanced at Qian Duoduo beside her again. The enormous Qian Duoduo clearly lacked any sense of self in this situation.
Xian Lin'er glanced at him only once before looking away and no longer paying attention to him.
"Since all the elders have agreed to admit that student into the inner academy ahead of schedule, then I naturally have no objection." Xian Lin'er adjusted her posture, and a smile returned to her face.
"However, I also accepted a new student from the outer academy with spiritual attributes as my personal disciple yesterday. He is only twelve years old and is already a level three soul master. Such talent is probably unparalleled in the entire Sun Moon Empire."
I am confident that within twenty years, Shrek Academy will be able to cultivate a Level 9 Soul Master! Therefore, I also hope to allow my disciple to move into the Inner Court ahead of schedule. This way, I can provide him with more guidance and care in my daily life.
Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan frowned involuntarily and subconsciously retorted, "This probably doesn't comply with the regulations, and doesn't the Soul Guidance Department only admit disciples after the third year?"
"What? This person Yan Shaozhe found can be admitted to the inner courtyard ahead of schedule, but my newly accepted disciple can't?" Xian Lin'er's face darkened, she snorted coldly, stood up, and looked around.
"Or are the elders here intending to continue favoring the Martial Soul Department? If that's the case, then is there any point in our Soul Guidance Department existing?"
Upon hearing her words, the expressions of the group of elders all changed.
Qian Duoduo, who was next to Xian Lin'er, wanted to reach out and pull Xian Lin'er back to her seat, but after being glared at by Xian Lin'er, he reluctantly withdrew his hand and dared not make any further moves.
Although most of the elders do value the Martial Soul system more, the Soul Guidance system is also an important part of Shrek Academy, and they do not want to see the two sides fight each other.
"Lin'er, please sit down." Mu En's gentle voice finally rang out again from the head of the table.
Upon hearing this voice, the tense atmosphere immediately eased, and Xian Lin'er respectfully sat back down in her chair.
"How old are you all? Is it really worth arguing over such a trivial matter?" Moon's voice remained calm. "It's just two early admission spots for the inner academy. What's there to argue about? Just approve them."
He paused, then turned his gaze to Yan Shaozhe. "However, Shaozhe, if Xiaotao herself is unwilling, you must not force her, understand?"
"Yes, teacher," Yan Shaozhe replied respectfully immediately.
……
On the tree-lined path in the outer courtyard, Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochen were walking side by side.
Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at Ling Luochen, who was clearly distracted beside him, and said with a half-smile, "Sister Luochen, can you tell me now why you called yourself my sister in front of Dean Yan and the others?"
Ling Luochen paused slightly, her eyes flickering as she was looked at by Huo Yuhao with a hint of teasing. She was clearly feeling a little guilty.
After all, she did have ulterior motives.
If she hadn't established this "sibling" relationship back then, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to develop anything further with Huo Yuhao later.
Given how much Yan Shaozhe values Ma Xiaotao, if she were just Huo Yuhao's ordinary senior, then Yan Shaozhe would definitely try every means to bring Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao together, while doing everything he could to prevent himself from having any contact with Huo Yuhao.
She didn't want that.
Thinking about it this way, Ling Luochen felt a bit resigned to his fate, yet also had an impulse to go all out. But when the words reached his lips, he stammered, "Yuhao, back then..."
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Huo Yuhao didn't press further. Instead, he smiled and said, "Actually, I'm quite happy that Sister Luo Chen is willing to acknowledge me as her younger brother."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Ling Luochen paused and stopped.
Huo Yuhao stopped and looked at her with some confusion: "Sister Luo Chen, what's wrong?"
"Yuhao, it's not like that." Ling Luochen suddenly raised his head, his face anxious, but he didn't know how to explain his thoughts, so he stomped his foot in frustration.
The next moment, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly took a step forward and approached Huo Yuhao.
Soft lips pressed against Huo Yuhao's cheek.
Warm and soft, fleeting.
Huo Yuhao looked surprised and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his cheek where he had been kissed, where a trace of warmth still seemed to remain.
Ling Luochen's cheeks were completely red, and even her fair ears were tinged with crimson.
She lowered her head, not daring to look Huo Yuhao in the eye, as if steam were rising from her head.
"Yuhao, I don't want to just be your older sister."
Ling Luochen's voice softened again, and she finally mustered the courage to raise her head, looking directly into Huo Yuhao's eyes with trembling eyes, "I want to have a more future with you, Yuhao."
