Chapter 171 Mu En Casts a Wide Net to Foster a Good Match; Emperor Auspicious Beast Transform's
Yan Shaozhe picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Old Mu, are you feeling sorry for Le Xuan?"
"Le Xuan is a good girl in every way, it's just that she's a little unlucky in love." Mu En shook his head. "But then again, just because Beibei isn't suitable doesn't mean there aren't more suitable candidates."
Yan Shaozhe put down his teacup and looked at Mu En.
Mu En continued, "Dai Huabin."
Yan Shaozhe was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant: "You mean..."
"Le Xuan will be chosen as the team leader for this Soul Fighting Tournament."
Mu En's tone was calm.
"Firstly, Le Xuan is strong enough, and her status as the senior sister of the inner courtyard can keep Xiao Tao in check. Secondly, let her get to know Dai Huabin."
Yan Shaozhe pondered for a moment:
"Elder Mu, Dai Huabin already has quite a few women around him. Zhu Lu and others, and that Xue Qingyao..."
"That's exactly why."
Mu En picked up his teacup.
"This kid has a very high standard and great ambition. The women he can keep around him must all be very capable."
Le Xuan is top-notch in every aspect—cultivation, appearance, and personality. If even she can't catch Dai Huabin's eye, then I have nothing more to say.
Yan Shaozhe thought about it and felt it made sense.
Zhang Lexuan is one of the strongest female Soul Masters among the current students of the Inner Academy. Her cultivation has already broken through to the Soul Douluo level. From any perspective, she is worthy of Dai Huabin.
"And," Mu En added,
"There is no conflict of interest between Le Xuan and Dai Huabin, unlike Xiao Tao who needs him to suppress her evil fire, and unlike Ling Luochen who is after his ultimate ice."
If two people can develop feelings for each other, then those feelings are pure. Pure feelings are the strongest bond.
Yan Shaozhe understood Mu En's deeper meaning.
Old Master Mu was always worried about one thing: the connection between Dai Huabin and Shrek Academy was too weak.
Interests can bind a person for a time, but not forever.
Only genuine emotion can make a genius willingly serve the academy.
"I understand." Yan Shaozhe stood up. "I'll go back and tell Le Xuan."
"Don't say too much." Mu En waved his hand. "Just tell her to lead the team to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament. As for the rest, let the young people experience it for themselves."
Yan Shaozhe nodded and was about to leave.
Mu En added, "Oh, right, add Wu Ming and Han Ruoruo too. These two are also top talents in the inner academy. Let them become Le Xuan's teaching assistants."
"Yes, teacher." Yan Shaozhe understood as well; the teacher was preparing to cast a wide net.
But this is actually quite good. As long as Dai Huabin can be won over, any price is acceptable. Even becoming the successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master wouldn't be out of the question.
Mu En sat alone on a bamboo chair, gazing out the window toward the direction of Poseidon Lake.
Dai Huabin's growth rate was too fast, so fast that it terrified him.
Such a genius, if not utilized by the academy, will inevitably become a huge variable in the future.
...
Star Dou Forest, Core Area.
Di Tian stood on the ground, his body surrounded by swirling black mist. He stared at the blonde girl in front of him, his face so dark it could drip ink.
The girl was slender and graceful, with long golden hair cascading down to her waist, each strand shimmering with a pale golden light. Her features were exquisite and aloof, her golden eyes clear and bright, and her skin exceptionally fair. She was enveloped in a hazy golden glow, as if she were born with an aura.
If this face were in the human world, it would definitely be considered stunningly beautiful.
But Di Tian had no mood for appreciation whatsoever.
Because this girl is his Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The Emperor Auspicious Beast held a special position; while not the strongest in combat, she carried the fortune of the entire soul beast race. Di Tian placed her in the core circle, with the Crimson King personally guarding her, precisely to prevent any mishaps.
As it turned out, after he went into seclusion to cultivate for a period of time, the Emperor Auspicious Beast directly transformed into human form.
"Crimson King."
Di Tian's voice was cold and emotionless, but Bi Ji and the Emperor Auspicious Beast both sensed the danger in his tone.
The Crimson King stood below in human form, a robust, middle-aged man with red hair, but now he was hunching over.
"Beast... Beast God!"
"Is this how you take care of the Emperor Auspicious Beast?"
The Crimson King opened his mouth, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He wanted to explain, but didn't know where to begin. He couldn't very well say that the Emperor Auspicious Beast was too slippery and he couldn't keep an eye on her at all, could he?
"Speak." Di Tian's tone didn't become more forceful, but the surrounding air suddenly seemed to sink.
The Crimson King forced a smile and said, "It's because of that human."
"What human?"
"A kid named Dai Huabin." The Crimson King swallowed hard. "He came to the inner circle once before and roasted some meat for the Emperor Auspicious Beast…"
Di Tian's eyebrows twitched.
"It seems that such a person does exist."
"Yes, the Emperor Auspicious Beast and he formed a destiny connection." The Crimson King's voice trailed off as he spoke. "After that, the Emperor Auspicious Beast kept insisting on transforming into human form, saying she wanted to find that human... I tried to stop her several times, but she..."
The Crimson King didn't finish his sentence.
All the soul beasts present knew the temperament of the Emperor Auspicious Beast. She looked docile, but when she got stubborn, not even nine oxen could pull her back.
Di Tian fell silent.
He certainly knew what the destiny connection meant. The destiny connection of the Emperor Auspicious Beast was different from that of ordinary soul beasts; it was an instinctive pull at the level of bloodline, which could not be artificially severed once it was formed.
In other words, the Emperor Auspicious Beast had chosen that human.
This made Di Tian very unhappy.
"Bi Ji." Di Tian turned his head.
A woman in a verdant gauze dress emerged from the forest, her steps light and graceful, her emerald wings slightly folded behind her back. Bi Ji's face was gentle, and she nodded slightly to Di Tian.
"Beast God, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the Crimson King."
Bi Ji's voice was gentle, and her pace was neither too fast nor too slow.
"The Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor of the far north have already acknowledged the human named Dai Huabin and established a blood pact with him. The Emperor Auspicious Beast has had contact with him several times and has never sensed any malice from him."
Di Tian frowned: "What happened in the far north was their own choice, and has nothing to do with the Emperor Auspicious Beast."
That's one way of putting it.
Bi Ji continued in a calm tone:
"But the destiny of the Emperor Auspicious Beast is ordained by fate, and no one can control it. Rather than forcibly obstructing it and escalating the conflict, it is better to go with the flow. Dai Huabin truly has no ill intentions towards our soul beast clan."
Di Tian did not answer immediately.
The blonde girl beside him was tilting her head and looking at Di Tian with a hint of caution in her golden eyes.
"Uncle Di Tian, I just want to go out and see the world..."
The Emperor Auspicious Beast's voice was clear and melodious, with a soft, sweet quality unique to young girls, creating a stark contrast with her cold and stunningly beautiful face.
Di Tian glanced at her and gave a soft snort.
Bi Ji added from the side:
"Moreover, Dai Huabin has Ice Emperor by his side, so after the Emperor Auspicious Beast goes, at least there is no need to worry too much about safety."
Di Tian remained silent for a long time.
Indeed, if the Ice Emperor were present, ordinary people couldn't harm the Emperor Auspicious Beast. However, the Emperor Auspicious Beast was a member of the soul beast clan, and neither the Ice Emperor nor the Snow Emperor would allow her to be harmed.
The birth of the Emperor Auspicious Beast is not necessarily a bad thing.
But she still needs insurance.
