Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 122: Make your thoughts clear! The only sober person in Shrek - Dragon God Douluo Moon!
It was hard to refuse Han Ruoruo's kindness, and Ling Luochen couldn't refuse either, so he had to drink the whole pot of chicken soup in a daze with Zhang Lexuan who was a little dazed.

After dinner, Zhang Lexuan seemed to realize that Ling Luochen had not finished speaking, so she drove away Han Ruoruo, who wanted to stay overnight, and decisively closed the door in the other's resentful eyes.

"Schoolgirl, is there anything else?"

Zhang Lexuan's tone was gentle. Ling Luochen meant so much to her now that she subconsciously became more gentle and relaxed in her attitude towards him.

Ling Luochen wiped the soup stains from the corners of his mouth, was silent for a while, and then said directly:
"Big sister, I want to quit Shrek Academy, so I want to ask for your help."

Zhang Lexuan was stunned, as if she didn't expect that Ling Luochen wanted to talk about this kind of thing.

But after thinking about it, Zhang Lexuan seemed to understand some of the reasons.

"Is it because of those seniors you mentioned?"

Ling Luochen did not deny it and nodded slightly.

"I have found a path and future that is more suitable for my development. One of the seniors is willing to accept me as a disciple. The upheaval in my family was resolved with their help. They are kind to me and have the confidence to give me benefits that I would not have thought of if I stayed at Shrek Academy. I cannot refuse, and I cannot refuse."

Zhang Lexuan was silent for a while, and then she spoke softly:
"Sister, you have to think carefully. Shrek Academy has gathered the best spirit masters in the world. The elders in the Sea God Pavilion are all super Douluo, and there are also many Titled Douluo. There is also the golden ancient tree. It is difficult to find a spirit master holy land that can rival Shrek Academy in the world. Not to mention that you have become one of the contemporary Shrek Seven Devils. In the future, you will definitely be able to obtain resources and assistance that ordinary people can't imagine, and you will definitely be able to enter the Sea God Pavilion and become an elder."

"Are you...really willing to give up your bright future and take a new and unfamiliar path?"

Ling Luochen nodded without hesitation, and she said softly:
"Shrek Academy was the best choice for me before, but now it's different. I know what I want, but Shrek Academy can't give me what I want."

Zhang Lexuan still felt a little reluctant. No one among the inner court disciples knew better than her what kind of terrifying background Shrek Academy had. Even if it wasn't for Ling Luochen's special situation, she would still advise him. After all, the potential of a soul master with pure elemental spirit was terrifyingly great, which was strategically significant to some extent.

“Sister, accepting a disciple does not conflict with your identity as one of the Shrek Seven Devils. Even the academy’s top management is willing to do so…”

Zhang Lexuan said softly.

"Okay, senior sister, I know you mean well, but I can tell you clearly that the teacher I want to worship is as powerful as Master Xuan, and he also possesses the ultimate ice attribute. This is something I cannot refuse, not to mention that they also have even more terrifying strong people."

Ling Luochen interrupted Zhang Lexuan. Since she had made the decision, she would never change her mind unless the other party let her down and denied her first.

Zhang Lexuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes. Obviously, she was shocked by Ling Luochen's words. A strong man with the ultimate ice attribute and whose strength was not inferior to that of Old Xuan had never appeared throughout the entire history. She subconsciously wanted to deny it, but seeing the determination in Ling Luochen's eyes, even she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

"If what the junior sister said is true, then there is naturally nothing worth your nostalgia in this academy."

"I will report this matter to the elders of Poseidon Pavilion tomorrow. Junior sister, please wait patiently for a while. The Shrek Seven Devils are not ordinary inner courtyard students. The exit procedure will be much more complicated, but it will not waste too much of your time. Your soul power is about to break through to the Soul King level. Practice well recently and don't be distracted by other things. I will solve it for you."

……

"Thank you, senior sister."

Ling Luochen lowered his eyes slightly, and his voice became softer.

Shu Yan had said before that she would be allowed to reveal some information within a reasonable range, which would be beneficial for her to leave Shrek Academy as soon as possible. Dragon God Douluo was still there, and with him in charge, everything should go very smoothly.

……

The next morning, a silver light slowly landed in front of the gate of Poseidon Pavilion.

The person who came was none other than Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister from the inner courtyard.

This is already the center of Poseidon Island, and in front of Zhang Lexuan is an ancient tree full of light and life. The Poseidon Pavilion was built with this ancient tree as its foundation without affecting the life source of the ancient golden tree.

As she walked into the Poseidon Pavilion, a strong force of light hit her in the face, stimulating Zhang Lexuan's originally dazed expression and making her a little more sober.

She pursed her lips tightly, and then went straight to the top floor of Poseidon Pavilion.

The third floor of Poseidon Pavilion has always been the residence of the Pavilion Master. Ordinary elders dare not go up easily without permission, but Zhang Lexuan... her identity is special and cannot be viewed by common sense.

As for the old men in Poseidon Pavilion, they were even more special to Zhang Lexuan, not only because Zhang Lexuan was about to join Poseidon Pavilion, but also because of the existence of Mu Lao...

……

"Mr. Mu..."

Standing outside the door, Zhang Lexuan gently knocked on the golden door, and then called out respectfully.

A golden halo came from outside the window, covering the room in a faint golden halo.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, and there is even no furniture at all. Everything looks brand new, but the traces of time are inexplicably visible. There is a natural sense of gentleness here.

"It's Le Xuan, come in..."

A gentle voice came from the shadows, and the sound of a recliner moving slightly seemed to be heard faintly. Zhang Lexuan lowered her head and then walked into the room.

The shadow in his eyes finally dissipated, and what appeared in front of Zhang Lexuan was an old man in cloth lying on a recliner. The old man had an ordinary appearance and was not very tall. The wrinkles on his face were very obvious, as if they could pinch a fly to death. His eyes were also very dim, and his eyelids were drooping, making it difficult to see the emotions and changes in his eyes.

A strong aura of old age surrounded the old man, a feeling of being in the twilight years. Obviously, the old man's life was coming to an end.

But unlike Qiangu Chaosheng, Moon's aura of old age is obviously stronger.

Zhang Lexuan bowed respectfully again. Moon En saved her life and raised her, and was the younger generation she respected the most. The relationship between them was deep. To Zhang Lexuan, Moon En was her non-blood relative.

"Mr. Mu, I have something to tell you..."

A smile appeared in Moon's eyes, and his gentle voice seemed to be able to cleanse people's hearts, making them unconsciously feel light and warmth.

"It's rare that a senior sister like you, the inner courtyard elder sister, would be so uneasy that she would come to see me in person..."

Hearing Moon's slightly teasing words, Zhang Lexuan showed a smile on her face, but then her expression returned to normal.

"Mr. Mu, I came here mainly for two matters. Because they are of great importance, I came directly to you and did not inform other elders for the time being."

"First, Ling Luochen, the chief soul master of the current Shrek Seven Devils, wants to quit the academy. She has come to talk to me and revealed some of the reasons..."

Moon nodded slightly, and seeing Zhang Lexuan's hesitant expression, he spoke softly again:

"Just say whatever you want to say, Le Xuan, there's nothing to hesitate about..."

Zhang Lexuan sighed softly, and then continued:

"According to Ling Luochen, the reason why she wanted to quit the academy was because a strong man was willing to accept her as a disciple. In her words, the strong man was as powerful as Master Xuan and even possessed the ultimate ice attribute. Master Mu, what do you think..."

Moon's eyes remained calm. He looked at the golden leaves fluttering in the wind outside the window, smiled gently, and then said:

"Douluo Continent is so vast that many powerful people are unwilling to show up. The education provided by the academy is not suitable for all young people. They will have their own paths to follow and their own choices. We should not interfere with this, but support them..."

"The academy is only a place to train soul masters, and it only stands on the side of Douluo Continent. Some people in the academy have been in high positions for a long time and have forgotten the original intention of the academy and its original positioning. They have been bewitched by the so-called power and ten thousand years of honor and have embarked on a wrong path..."

Zhang Lexuan listened respectfully, her face full of seriousness. Moon's words and deeds, as well as his own pattern and vision, far surpassed everyone else in Shrek Academy. With him, Shrek Academy would not go astray...

Just like Shu Yan said before, Moon's vision is the best in the ten thousand years of Shrek Academy's history. He is a sober and powerful man who understands that the academy is only a place for teaching and educating people, not a place for the operation of power and status. The stronger, more domineering, and more beyond the shackles of the world, the more suspicion and exclusion it will attract. Once the situation continues to develop like this, Shrek Academy will eventually embark on a road of no return...

Looking at Douluo, since the rise of Shrek, whether in the past or in the future, the leader with the highest vision, the longest distance, the clearest mind, and the best understanding of the situation in Shrek Academy is none other than Moon.

"Okay, let's just settle this. We'll hold a Poseidon Pavilion meeting and announce it. If they have any objections, you can say it was my decision."

Moon said softly.

"Yes……"

Zhang Lexuan responded softly. She stared at Moon's back in a trance. After a long while, she continued to speak:
"Mr. Mu, there is one more thing."

"The great nobles who destroyed my family seem to have been destroyed, and the ones who destroyed them are probably the seniors that Ling Luochen mentioned. For some reason, they seem to know my identity and have sent me the symbol of my clan leader's identity."

"After that, I want to go meet them with Ling Luochen..."

Moon turned his head slowly, but unexpectedly, his expression was still gentle, but as if he had traveled through time, carrying a hint of memories and regrets.

"Le Xuan, the oath we made back then shouldn't have become a shackle that bound you. I was just confused at that moment. You should have your own life instead of living under an oath for the rest of your life. The academy raised and nurtured you, but aren't you doing your best to repay the academy?"

"You have done enough for the college over the years. You don't owe the college anything. I should apologize to you for what happened back then. It was my selfishness and self-righteousness that harmed you and caused Beibei unnecessary pressure..."

puff-

Zhang Lexuan took a few quick steps and then knelt directly in front of Moon. A line of tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes and then slowly dripped onto the ground along her flawless face.

"Mr. Mu, this is not your fault. I did everything on my own accord. You are very kind to me..."

Moon shook his head gently, and at the same time reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Zhang Lexuan's eyes.

"Le Xuan, you have too many stubborn obsessions in your heart, and the same is true for Bei Bei. Go out and experience another life, a life that should belong to you, instead of being delayed by my mistakes. Always live under a vow. When you come back again, you should have some new insights."

"As long as I am here, Shrek Academy will always be your home. Go, kid, and do what you should do..."

Zhang Lexuan held Moon's hand, tears streaming down her face, but in the end, after Moon's comfort, she nodded gently...
