Chapter 56: Xian Lin'er: What's Wrong with a Little Fondling, Even If...
"Hmph, Xiao Chen has also taken me as his master now. Is there a problem with that?" Xian Lin'er huffed.
"No way! Xiao Chen is my disciple. Lin'er, you can't poach like this!!" Yan Shaozhe was furious.
Good grief, Xian Lin'er said she had good news to announce, but it turned out she had stolen his disciple!
This was indeed good news for Xian Lin'er.
But for him, it was a nightmare!
"Who said a person can only have one master? Xiao Chen's talent in soul tools is so high, and I'm the only one in the entire academy who can teach him. What's wrong with him taking me as his master?"
Xian Lin'er became more excited as she spoke.
Especially seeing Yan Shaozhe's frustrated expression, she could barely hold back her laughter.
Ye Chen really was her precious treasure. Not only did he bring hope to the Soul Tool Department, but he could also annoy Yan Shaozhe. She had struck it rich this time!
"Sigh..."
Yan Shaozhe's mouth twitched, and he finally sighed helplessly.
He didn't blame Ye Chen though.
After all, Xian Lin'er was the dean of the Soul Tool Department. With just a little incentive, how could Ye Chen resist the temptation!
He only blamed himself for not explaining things clearly to Ye Chen and not keeping a closer eye on him...
Damn it, he had carelessly let Xian Lin'er pick up a huge bargain...
And that useless Ma Xiaotao didn't even know her future husband had been lured away by a bad woman!
"Alright, Lin'er, so what you mean is..." an elder asked.
"Since Ye Chen has talent in both martial souls and soul tools, naturally he should cultivate both systems," Xian Lin'er said without hesitation, clearly having planned this already.
She wanted Ye Chen to focus solely on soul tools, but that was completely impossible—no one would agree.
Of course, she wouldn't be that selfish either.
But having Ye Chen give up soul tools was also something she was unwilling to accept, so she proposed this compromise.
"No way! This will delay Xiao Chen's cultivation. Lin'er, don't be reckless!" Yan Shaozhe was the first to object.
Even if Ye Chen had talent in soul tools, he couldn't possibly cultivate both systems simultaneously. This would greatly reduce his cultivation speed in martial souls.
With such good talent, Ye Chen couldn't waste it by practicing soul tools.
Although he didn't pay much attention to Ye Chen, he wouldn't let him go astray!
"That's right, Lin'er. Even if Ye Chen has talent in soul tools, his martial soul talent is obviously better. This is an Ultimate Martial Soul. If cultivated properly, he has a great chance of becoming an Ultimate Douluo in the future, able to protect Shrek for hundreds of years. We can't waste such talent," an elder advised.
"Lin'er, you and Shaozhe may have some misunderstandings, but your issues shouldn't involve Ye Chen," Cai Meier also spoke up rarely.
"Lin'er, if Xiao Chen really has talent in soul engineering, that can wait until after he grows up. This period is crucial for cultivation and can't be delayed," Yan Shaozhe also spoke with a bitter smile.
He really didn't know what Xian Lin'er was thinking, still holding a grudge about that incident after all these years...
They were both married now, shouldn't that matter be in the past...
"Fine, fine, fine! You're all bullying me, aren't you? Bullying the Soul Tool Department for having no one! If it weren't for our Soul Tool Department's efforts these years, where would your Martial Soul Department get the funding to develop so well? Where would you get the money to train soul masters?"
"Now that our Soul Tool Department finally has a genius who can make Shrek's Soul Tool Department rise, you're still obstructing us in every way. You just know how to bully me!"
Xian Lin'er's voice now carried a crying tone, completely lacking the dignity befitting a dean, instead sounding like a wronged child.
Of course, compared to the other elders, she was indeed still a child in terms of age.
"Alright, alright. Since you can't agree, why don't we just ask that little guy's opinion directly?"
At this moment, Xian Zi, who had been silently drinking and eating chicken legs, suddenly spoke up.
After all, he knew about the Soul Tool Department's contributions, and he himself was quite poor—his chicken legs and good wine were all provided by Xian Lin'er.
So he had considerable fondness for the Soul Tool Department, and now he rarely spoke up to say a word for Xian Lin'er.
Seeing that even Xian Zi said so, the others all nodded in agreement.
After all, with Mu En absent, Xian Zi had the highest status and seniority, and the greatest say.
"Hmph, I'll go bring Xiao Chen here right now."
Xian Lin'er huffed and turned to leave.
But inwardly she was secretly delighted. Since Ye Chen had agreed to become her disciple, he would definitely be willing to cultivate both systems.
As long as Ye Chen nodded, the others would have nothing to say.
"Whoosh—"
Because she was anxious, Xian Lin'er moved very fast, arriving at the laboratory where Ye Chen was in less than half a minute.
Just as Xian Lin'er was about to speak, she saw the soul tool core array that Ye Chen was holding in his hand.
Her eyesight was extremely sharp, and she instantly recognized that this core array had just been made, and its level had actually reached Level 1!
"Xiao Chen, what you're holding... is a Level 1 core array!" Xian Lin'er seemed to think of something and asked in disbelief.
"Yeah~ I just flipped through a few books and learned the method for inscribing Level 1 core arrays, so I randomly pieced together some basic arrays, and unexpectedly succeeded," Ye Chen scratched his head and grinned.
"You... you... you... This is a real Level 1 core formation! Xiao Chen, have you really never been exposed to soul tools before?"
Xian Lin'er was so excited that her voice trembled.
Moreover, she felt her question was pointless.
Even if Ye Chen had been exposed to them before, becoming a Level 1 Soul Engineer at his age would be enough to prove how heaven-defying his talent was.
And if he hadn't been exposed to them before, that would be even more heaven-defying!
Having been exposed to soul tool knowledge for less than an hour, he could already independently complete the inscription of a Level 1 core formation.
This could no longer be described as genius!
This was a monster! A super monster!!
"Today was my first time being exposed to soul tool knowledge~" Ye Chen answered honestly.
"Good, good, good! This is wonderful~ Come on, I'll take you to the Sea God Pavilion!"
Xian Lin'er hugged Ye Chen tightly, then directly pulled him along as they flew toward the Sea God Pavilion.
"Teacher, why are we going to the Sea God Pavilion?"
Ye Chen was now being pulled along in flight by Xian Lin'er. Pretending to be scared, he hugged her slender waist and hung onto her body before asking quietly.
"Well, your talent in soul tools is amazing. I want you to cultivate both martial souls and soul tools. If you're willing, just say so when the time comes. Of course, if you're unwilling, that's fine too. I won't force you and will still give you the greatest support."
Xian Lin'er explained slowly.
"Of course I'm willing! Teacher has been so good to me, how could I refuse~" Ye Chen quickly smiled and replied.
"Hehehe, such a good child. Just say that when the time comes~" Xian Lin'er rubbed Ye Chen's head with a satisfied expression.
Ye Chen nodded, then directly buried his face in Xian Lin'er's chest.
Mm, very fragrant.
Xian Lin'er looked down and her face turned slightly red.
But she didn't refuse.
Ye Chen was her precious treasure, the future hope of the Martial Soul Department.
What was wrong with a little fondling?
If Ye Chen could study well under her guidance, she would be willing even if he wanted to strip her bare and feast on her.
...
Fortunately, Ye Chen couldn't read minds.
Otherwise, he would have started pushing his luck right then and there...
