Chapter 49 Sea God Pavilion, Fairy Lin'er's Surprise
(Photo by Xianlin'er)
The two arrived at the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion, where an elderly man with white hair had been waiting for a long time; it was Yan Shaozhe.

Although Yan Shaozhe was Ye Chen's master, he didn't teach Ye Chen anything.

Because Yan Shaozhe wanted to bring Ye Chen and Ma Xiaotao together, he handed over the important task of teaching Ye Chen to Ma Xiaotao, while he himself became a hands-off manager and lived a very carefree life.

Of course, as Ye Chen's master, Yan Shaozhe still thinks highly of his disciple. Although he doesn't teach Ye Chen, he will still try his best to fight for the resources and rights that Ye Chen should have.

He was, after all, one of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, so he still had some influence.

"teacher."

"Teacher~"

Ye Chen and Ma Xiaotao greeted Yan Shaozhe respectfully.

Ye Chen didn't have any ill feelings towards Yan Shaozhe, after all, it was Yan Shaozhe who brought him to Shrek Academy.

"Xiao Tao, Xiao Chen, you're here!"

Yan Shaozhe chuckled, his gaze fixed on Ye Chen, full of admiration.

He had read the mission report submitted by Zhang Lexuan. Although Ye Chen was only responsible for finishing up, the strength he demonstrated was astonishing.

Especially the teleportation over extremely long distances.

This ability alone is enough to greatly increase Ye Chen's potential.

At the same time, he looked at Ma Xiaotao and found that the evil fire on Ma Xiaotao's body had obviously decreased and would hardly affect her cultivation.

Indeed, taking Ye Chen as his disciple and having him follow Ma Xiaotao was the best decision he ever made.

This is simply killing two birds with one stone, bringing two treasures into one pregnancy...

In any case, their future is bright.

"Teacher, why are you looking at me like that..." Ma Xiaotao felt a little uneasy under Yan Shaozhe's gaze and subconsciously shrank her neck.

She always felt that her master was thinking about something strange.

"Hehe, Xiao Tao, you'd better keep a close eye on your junior brother~" Yan Shaozhe said meaningfully, his eyes gleaming.

He discovered that Zhang Lexuan's praise for Ye Chen when reporting on Ye Chen's tasks was completely undisguised.

He suspected that Zhang Lexuan also had feelings for Ye Chen.

Of course, this is just speculation.

However, Ye Chen is so handsome, just like he was when he was young, he must have countless suitors.

If Ma Xiaotao doesn't keep a close eye on things, she might get her home stolen by another woman...

"Don't worry, teacher, I'll definitely take good care of my junior brother~" Ma Xiaotao rubbed Ye Chen's head and chuckled.

She naturally didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Yan Shaozhe's words; she only felt that Yan Shaozhe wanted to be lazy and didn't want to teach his disciples, which was why he said that.

……

……

The two followed Yan Shaozhe into the Sea God Pavilion.

Although many elders came because of Ye Chen, it wasn't a true Sea God Pavilion meeting, so both Ma Xiaotao and Ye Chen were qualified to attend.

The Sea God Pavilion is no different from any other ordinary pavilion.

However, the decoration is very understated yet luxurious; any one of the items would be extremely expensive or even priceless in the outside world.

Ye Chen followed Yan Shaozhe to a huge conference hall.

The conference hall was now filled with the elders of Shrek Academy, including Zhang Lexuan.

At the head of the table, an old man lay lazily on a recliner, his face kind and gentle. He was none other than Old Man Mu En whom Ye Chen had met before.

At the next spot, an unshaven, disheveled old man was eating a chicken leg and drinking alcohol, completely disregarding his image.

But everyone else was used to it.

Although Ye Chen had never met the other person, he could guess their identity with his toes—it was undoubtedly Xuanzi, the 'Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Sect'. Surrounding them were various elders, most of whom were quite old. Only on the right was a seat occupied by a beautiful young woman who looked to be in her thirties; it was none other than Xian Lin'er.

Although Xian Lin'er is the same age as Yan Shaozhe, she has a unique way of maintaining her youthful appearance, making her stand out among the many elders. She also has a touch of arrogance about her.

"This must be Xian Lin'er. As expected of a Valkyrie, her aura is truly powerful..." Ye Chen thought to himself, guessing that she was indeed Xian Lin'er.

A married young woman, still a virgin—who could resist that...?

Ye Chen definitely wouldn't dare to actively pursue Xian Lin'er; that would be tantamount to courting death.

But if Xianlin'er takes a liking to him, then he will be forced to "accept" it...

As Ye Chen's gaze swept over Xian Lin'er, Xian Lin'er was also sizing him up.

"This little fellow is quite handsome. I wish he were my disciple..." Xian Lin'er thought to herself with a pang of regret.

Such a good disciple, even if she can't be "used", can still be used as a facade to seduce... no, attract more female disciples to join the Soul Guidance Department.

Yan Shaozhe is really lucky.

It's one thing to have Ma Xiaotao, but now there's Ye Chen too.

Moreover, Ye Chen is so outstanding that he complements Ma Xiaotao and helps her resolve her internal heat.

With both sides complementing each other, the outer academy will definitely have two more Super Douluo as they grow up. There are even rumors that Ye Chen has the potential to become a Limit Douluo, but we don't know if that's true or not...

Everyone else also turned their attention to Ye Chen, each one curious.
"Alright, everyone's here. Shao Zhe, you can make the announcement now." Mu En spoke slowly, and everyone's expressions turned serious as they focused their gazes on Yan Shao Zhe.

Yan Shaozhe smiled slightly, then looked at Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, after a unanimous decision by the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, you are granted special admission to the Inner Academy, enjoying five times the resources and treatment of ordinary Inner Academy disciples. At the same time, you are designated as a candidate for Dean of the Spirit Department of Shrek Academy. Once you advance to the Title Douluo level, you can directly succeed as Dean of the Spirit Department..."

"At the same time, you also have an obligation to help the college develop..."

Yan Shaozhe said a lot, but most of it was about the benefits, with very few restrictions on Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, this is the academy's reward for your last mission assessment. Are you satisfied?"

After Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, he looked at Ye Chen with a smile.

"Thank you all, teachers. Thank you, Dean. I am very satisfied with the college's arrangements."

Ye Chen bowed slightly to the crowd, naturally having no objections.

Although he is very talented, the academy does not have enough trust in him.

Even so, Ye Chen never expected that he would actually become a candidate for dean, which was a bit like defying the heavens.

However, with his intelligence, he quickly understood what was going on.

Zhang Lexuan must have helped with this.

After all, if it weren't for him, Zhang Lexuan would have been the next dean of the Spirit Department, but now it's him...

Subconsciously, Ye Chen looked up at Zhang Lexuan sitting in the corner.

At that moment, Zhang Lexuan was also looking at Ye Chen.

Seeing Ye Chen looking at her, Zhang Lexuan also gave Ye Chen a gentle smile.

It was indeed she who helped Ye Chen secure the position of Dean of the Martial Soul Department.

In her view, Ye Chen was qualified to succeed him, but the other party was a newcomer and lacked trust in him.

However, after her persuasion, the elders still chose to believe her and gave Ye Chen such an identity.

The five times the cultivation resources are also a benefit of this identity.

Although she hadn't spent much time with Ye Chen, since she had recognized him as her godson, she was determined to take full responsibility for him.

At the same time, she has absolute trust in Ye Chen.

I believe Ye Chen will definitely not let her and Shrek Academy down in the future!

PS: Writing about Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect will inevitably involve soul tools, which will provide more room for maneuver and plot development. Apart from Xian Lin'er, other aspects will be written briefly to avoid being too padded.

P.S.: Don't worry about age. Fantasy novels often feature characters who are hundreds or thousands of years old, and some are even hundreds of thousands or millions of years old. Good looks make all the same!
