Judging from Shrek's protectiveness towards its own, let alone demigods.
If Wu Changkong really wanted to call for reinforcements, he might even be able to call for Yun Ming, the number one person on the continent.
If she had known that Wu Changkong's connections were so terrifying, she might not have suspected Tang Wulin.
Thinking about this, Gu Yue couldn't help but feel a little fortunate. Although the process was completely wrong, at least the result was right.
"Huh? Where's Teacher Wu?"
Xie Xie pushed open the door to the VIP room on the top floor, and a faint scent of sandalwood wafted into the air. The spacious room was empty.
Looking at the empty room, Xie Xie paused, scratching his head in confusion. "That's strange. Everyone was here when we left."
"Let me contact the dance teacher!"
Without much thought, Xie Xie immediately took out his soul-guided communicator and quickly tapped on the screen.
This time, Wu Changkong replied very quickly, almost instantly, the moment Xie Xie sent the message.
"emm..."
Upon seeing the message pop up on the message board, Xie Xie's expression froze instantly, and his eyes widened involuntarily.
Wu Changkong said that an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time had come to Tianhai City, and he wanted to see him in person, leaving Xie Xie and the others to do as they pleased.
Wu Changkong's old friends... besides the Tang Sect, aren't they the Shrek Academy members?
Recalling the rumors he had heard on the way here, Xie Xie's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze toward Su Mo gradually turned to one of pity.
"Did something happen?"
Noticing Xie Xie's unusual behavior, Su Mo raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion.
"Um... Su Mo, does the academy require you to participate in the junior group competition and win the championship?"
Xie Xie remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, his voice tinged with a hint of probing.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Su Mo looked at Xie Xie with confusion, not understanding why Xie Xie would suddenly bring up this matter out of the blue.
"Um, I heard that the organizers of this year's Tianhai Grand Competition have also invited members of Shrek Academy..."
Xie Xie stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, but the meaning behind it was already self-evident.
"Xie Xie, I think you've really lost your mind."
Before Su Mo could speak, Xu Xiaoyan had already answered for him, her tone tinged with disdain.
"Even if the organizers invited people from Shrek Academy, they wouldn't let them participate in the official competition, right?"
"Do you think the organizers are idiots who would hand over so many valuable prizes to Shrek Academy?"
As Xu Xiaoyan spoke, she put her hands on her hips, her tone full of certainty.
Although the Tianhai Alliance lacks a strong foundation, it has plenty of money!
To prepare for this once-every-five-years event and to motivate the participants, the Tianhai Alliance has collected countless rare treasures and placed them in the Alliance Treasury for the winners to choose from.
The champions of the individual and seven-person team competitions can choose any three items from the treasure vault to take home by the alliance.
The champions of the five-person and three-person team competitions can choose one item to take home.
"Furthermore, in a one-on-one competition, even if Shrek Academy's disciples came, they would be completely insignificant in front of Su Mo."
As she said this, Xu Xiaoyan proudly puffed out her flat chest, her expression revealing a confidence akin to that of a female hero.
She had absolute confidence in Su Mo.
Xie Xie chuckled awkwardly, "I was overthinking it... So what are you guys planning to do next?"
Xu Xiaoyan smiled and took Gu Yue's arm, her eyes curving into crescents. "Gu Yue and I are going shopping. Do you want to come along?"
Upon hearing the words "shopping," Xie Xie's expression changed drastically, as if he had heard some terrifying whisper.
"Um... I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll have to go now!"
Before Xie Xie could finish speaking, he turned and ran away as if fleeing in panic.
What's the difference between going shopping with a girl and deliberately going to your death?
Back then, when he, a Soul Master, accompanied his mother, a frail and ordinary person, shopping, he was exhausted.
Not to mention Soul Masters like Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan.
Watching Xie Xie's disheveled retreating figure, Xu Xiaoyan curled her lip, "Tch, even if you wanted to go, I wouldn't allow it."
"Then I'm leaving too!"
Because Ye Xinglan moved up the agreed meeting time, Su Mo planned to scout out the location first.
If things start to look bad, run away immediately.
Since Su Mo had already told Xu Xiaoyan and the others that she was going to meet a friend when she got out of the car, Xu Xiaoyan was not surprised by this.
"Then Gu Yue and I will go shopping first, and we'll meet again tonight."
Xu Xiaoyan, arm in arm with Gu Yue, waved to Su Mo with a smile.
……
Xibak Cafe
Like the Lagner Hotel, this coffee shop is a subsidiary of Consortium B.
With the Tianhai Grand Competition about to begin, the entire Tianhai City is enveloped in an indescribable heat, and Xibak Cafe is no exception.
At this moment, the aroma of coffee mingled with the noise of the crowd in the coffee shop, and the air felt scorching hot.
The store was almost full, and even the usually quietest corner by the floor-to-ceiling windows was completely booked.
"Sir, your coffee is ready!"
A waitress in a black and white uniform walked briskly over, carrying a tray with a freshly made latte on it.
Steam rises gently from the white porcelain cup, carrying a delicate aroma of milk mixed with the bitterness of coffee, creating an irresistible fragrance.
After waiting for about half an hour, and almost finishing his coffee, Su Mo finally received a message on his soul communication device.
"I've arrived. Where are you?"
Before Su Mo could reply, she saw a close-up photo taken from a first-person perspective sent to her.
In the photo, Ye Xinglan is facing the camera. Her snow-white short hair reflects a cold luster under the light. A few strands of hair fall casually in front of her forehead, which not only does not weaken her sharpness, but also makes her look more heroic.
He wore a well-tailored coat with clean lines that outlined a smooth and upright silhouette, as striking as a drawn sword.
"Tyrannosaurus Warrior, so you were here!"
Su Mo had just raised her hand, ready to reply to the message that she had arrived.
The next second, a capable-looking figure appeared uninvited, pulled out a chair and sat down in the seat opposite him.
As a top student at Shrek Academy, Shen Yi subconsciously began searching for possible figures the moment he stepped into the coffee shop.
Before long, he saw Shen Yi preparing to reply to his message.
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Shen Yi!"
Shen Yi extended his hand to Su Mo in a generous and straightforward manner, without any of the affectation or restraint that girls often display.
"Su Mo!"
Looking at the hand Shen Yi offered, Su Mo gently squeezed it and then let go.
After reintroducing themselves, Su Mo and Shen Yi didn't say anything, but instead sized each other up.
"Thank goodness they came, otherwise something terrible would have happened!!!"
Shen Yi carefully examined Su Mo sitting opposite him and couldn't help but feel glad that he had made the decision to impersonate Ye Xinglan to meet Su Mo.
With Su Mo's handsome appearance, if Ye Xinglan were to see him, Shen Yi couldn't even imagine what kind of trouble Ye Xinglan, who was already showing signs of being a little love-struck, would cause her.
Ye Xinglan already had a good impression of Su Mo, and Su Mo's face was even more handsome than her senior brother's.
"Tsk tsk~"
Shen Yi couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Chapter 115 Ye Xinglan's Frenzy
"..."
Su Mo remained silent as she looked at Shen Yi, who was smiling at her.
Su Mo could completely understand why "Invincible Sword God Ye Xinglan" was actually named Shen Yi instead of Ye Xinglan.
Perhaps the name Shen Yi was chosen as a prank for Ye Xinglan.
Looking at Shen Yi in front of her, Su Mo felt a strange feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on.
When she chatted with Ye Xinglan, he always seemed like an innocent and naive young man.
How come she suddenly transformed into a sophisticated and capable older sister the moment we met?
However, Su Mo did not think in any other direction.
After all, although Ye Xinglan and I used to talk about everything, we didn't really know each other very well.
Their relationship was more like gaming buddies, and they tacitly avoided mentioning their real-life identities.
What if they just like to play with contrast?
In the end, Shen Yi took the initiative to break the silence, but as soon as he spoke, Su Mo couldn't hold back anymore.
"Let's break up. Don't contact me again!"
puff--!
Shen Yi's astonishing statement almost made Su Mo spit out the coffee in her mouth.
What do you mean by "Let's break up"?
Su Mo really wanted to say, "Big sister, we're just gaming buddies meeting up offline. At most, our relationship is just a little ambiguous."
Shen Yi also noticed Su Mo's strange expression and quickly tried to cover it up, saying, "What I meant was that you're too young, not my type!"
