Chapter 54 Discussion
After speaking, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm withdrew from Huo Yutong's mental space and returned to reality.
Seeing Huo Yutong awake, Deng Mu smiled and asked, "Was it Tianmeng or Yutong?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm scratched its head: "It was me, Tianmeng. Just take what happened earlier as a joke, okay? Little Yutong was a little embarrassed, don't take it to heart."
Deng Mu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Haha, I know, Tianmeng, you really made Yutong angry."
At this moment, Huo Yutong called out in the mental space, "Sister Tianmeng, let me out quickly! I want to talk to Brother Mu myself."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shrugged helplessly and returned control of the 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, about what happened just now… don't take it to heart. Sister Tianmeng just likes to joke."
Deng Mu smiled and waved his hand. "Don't worry, Yutong, I didn't take it to heart. I know Sister Tianmeng was just teasing me. Don't be embarrassed."
Then, 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 again, her voice barely audible: "Brother Mu, you… you shouldn't tease me like that. I… I don't know what to say."
Seeing Huo Yutong's reaction, Deng Mu smiled but said nothing.
Deng Mu looked at the unconscious Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, considering using his skill to heal them.
In the distance, deep within Sea God Lake, a dozen figures arrived at astonishing speed. In just a few blinks of an eye, they arrived at the shore.
Leading the group was an elderly man dressed in white. He suddenly took a step out of mid-air, as if traversing space, and arrived beside Deng Mu and the others.
When Deng Mu saw the old man, he immediately recognized him as Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe was somewhat surprised to see Deng Mu, not expecting this matter to be related to him.
Feeling the cold around him, he guessed that Deng Mu was responsible, as Deng Mu's second martial soul might possess the ultimate ice.
Yan Shaozhe looked at Deng Mu and thanked him, "Little 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 certainly couldn't just stand by and watch them get hurt."
He knew Yan Shaozhe wouldn't believe it was Huo Yutong who did it, and even if he did, he suspected Huo Yutong had some secret.
Yan Shaozhe nodded thoughtfully. His gaze swept over Huo Yutong, and he did indeed sense something unusual about the young girl, but he didn't delve into it further at the moment.
Huo Yutong breathed a sigh of relief; she hadn't known how to explain things properly.
"Xiao Mu, come with me. I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Okay," Deng Mu replied, and followed Yan Shaozhe to the side.
Huo Yutong watched their retreating figures with some worry, wondering what Dean Yan wanted to say to Deng Mu.
A while later, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao woke up. The Shrek Academy teachers gave Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao each a pill and then told them to go home.
Meanwhile, in a separate room, Yan Shaozhe looked at Deng Mu and explained his purpose: "Xiao Mu, here's the thing. Ma Xiaotao's martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix, which often troubles her, causing her to occasionally go berserk and lose control. Today's incident is a case in point; her condition is getting worse, and we've been trying to suppress the evil fire, but the results haven't been ideal."
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 possesses the characteristics of extreme ice, it might be able to restrain Ma Xiaotao's evil fire.
So I wanted to ask you if you would be willing to try to help Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire within her? Of course, this process might be somewhat risky, but 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, to bring them together, but considering the power behind Deng Mu, he decided against it.
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 it will work."
Yan Shaozhe smiled and nodded, "Hmm, Xiao Mu, it's good that you have this intention. If you can help her solve this problem, it will be a great thing for her, and..."
Yan Shaozhe deliberately kept him in suspense.
Deng Mu looked at him in confusion, "And what, Dean?"
Yan Shaozhe patted Deng Mu's shoulder, "And if the two of you can spend more time together and get to know each other better, maybe you can create a beautiful story.
I think you're a good kid, and Ma Xiaotao is quite outstanding. If you can get together, it will be a beautiful story in the academy."
Hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Deng Mu was a little amused. Although he liked Ma Xiaotao quite a bit, he hadn't reached that level yet.
He guessed that Yan Shaozhe had the idea of arranging a marriage, as Yan Shaozhe had mentioned in the original work.
To completely solve the problem, they still needed the immortal herb. They could help Ma Xiaotao solve it 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 party doesn't like the other? Wouldn't that be awkward?"
He certainly wouldn't be a simp; simps always end up with nothing.
Yan Shaozhe paused slightly, then laughed heartily, "Little Mu, you've got a long-term perspective! I was just saying it casually. Feelings will naturally fall into place." He then said, "Little 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's relationship with that mysterious expert, and after discussion, they wanted Deng Mu to become a core disciple of the inner court. If Deng Mu wasn't willing, then so be it.
Deng Mu was a little surprised by Yan Shaozhe's words, but after thinking about it, he agreed.
Wasting time slacking off in the outer court was worse than going to the inner court to gain resources and improve his strength. Since the changes to the Clear Sky Hammer, his cultivation speed had slowed considerably, but his soul power was extremely abundant.
Yan Shaozhe spoke to Deng Mu and told him to go to the inner court for the next few days to handle any matters.
As for where Deng Mu lived, it was naturally next door to Ma Xiaotao.
After saying goodbye to Yan Shaozhe, Deng Mu headed towards the freshman dormitory. He figured classes were already over, so there was no need to go back to the classroom; he could just go straight back to his dorm to pack his things.
