Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 103: Women are not allowed to stay in college

It is highly likely that Ling Shuang and Ma Xiaotao were notified in advance, and they entered the Sea God Pavilion without any obstacles.

He also saw the true form of the golden ancient tree for the first time.

The branches are huge, with intricate gnarled joints. Snake-like veins coil and rise along the trunk, splitting and blooming at the top, with lush foliage.

As expected, it is the most vibrant and unique artifact on the Douluo Continent. Just by getting close, Ling Shuang could feel the excitement of the Twin Staffs of Creation and Annihilation within her body, which had not yet been released.

As expected, his thinking was correct. If he could cultivate within this ancient golden tree for a period of time using its power, it would greatly aid his understanding of the laws of life.

"Student Ling Shuang, Elder Mu is waiting for you in that room." An elder seemed to have received prior notice, and upon seeing Ling Shuang's arrival, he pointed directly to the room not far away and said.

As expected, Ling Shuang realized that the person who had summoned him was indeed Mu En, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion.

Reaching the front of the room, Ling Shuang reached out and gently knocked three times on the wooden door in front of her.

"Knock knock." A crisp knocking sound slowly rang out.

"Come in." An aged voice came through the wooden door.

Pushing open the door, Ling Shuang and Ma Xiaotao entered the room.

A recliner was placed by the window of the room, where a thin old man was half-lying.

The golden light shone through the window, illuminating the old man's aged face.

Ma Xiaotao was slightly taken aback, then bowed slightly and said, "Xiaotao greets Grandmaster."

Ma Xiaotao is Yan Shaozhe's disciple, and Yan Shaozhe is Mu En's disciple, so Mu En is naturally Ma Xiaotao's grandmaster.

"Xiao Tao, what brings you here?" Mu En was also somewhat surprised to see Ma Xiao Tao arrive.

Could it be that Ling Shuang summoned him?

However, after observing Ling Shuang's expression, Mu En immediately rejected the idea.

Judging from Ling Shuang's reaction, it shouldn't be him who called Ma Xiaotao over.

"Grandmaster." Although he was a little nervous facing this grandmaster with whom he had not had much interaction, his concern for Ling Shuang still prevailed.

Ma Xiaotao still said the words she had already thought of when she came over.

“I know about what happened to Junior Brother Ling. I don’t think it’s Junior Brother Ling’s fault. I hope Master will not make things difficult for Junior Brother Ling. If he really has to be punished, I am willing to share the burden!” Ma Xiaotao bit her red lips, showing no fear because of Master Mu En’s status.

Given Mu En's status, she really doesn't need to care too much about her teacher Yan Shaozhe.

However, Ma Xiaotao still stood by Ling Shuang's side. Even if her master put pressure on her, she could at least share some of the pressure with Ling Shuang.

Mu En, who had summoned Ling Shuang this time to make amends for letting the matter of Xuan Zi go, had no intention of making things difficult for Ling Shuang. Hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, he was first stunned, and then he realized what she meant and couldn't help but show a helpless smile.

Knowing that Ma Xiaotao had misunderstood, Mu En changed his posture from lying on the recliner to sitting up and explained, "Don't worry, Xiaotao, I didn't intend to do anything to Ling Xuesheng. I just wanted to apologize to him for what happened to Xuanzi."

Mu En wasn't a blockhead either. He had a complicated emotional history with the two Limit Douluos when they were young, so he could naturally see why Ma Xiaotao was so nervous about Ling Shuang.

Mu En knew that Yan Shaozhe wanted Ma Xiaotao and Ling Shuang to get closer.

Although he never explicitly stated his opinion, deep down he agreed with Yan Shaozhe's ideas.

Although the possibility is not very high, if this can really bring Ling Shuang to Shrek Academy, that would be excellent.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that even if Ling Shuang isn't brought over, Ma Xiaotao will be abducted instead.

However, Moon could understand, as he had already considered this possibility.

After all, Ling Shuang's excellence is undeniable.

In his youth, Mu En was a prominent figure in the world of Soul Masters, a god-like genius. However, he believed that in front of Ling Shuang, he was far inferior to her in both looks and talent in his younger days.

If his rival in love had been this child instead of Long Xiaoyao, there would be no need for a competition; he would have readily admitted defeat long ago.

Therefore, Mu En was not surprised that Ma Xiaotao fell in love with Ling Shuang.

However, the situation of these two people was far more outrageous than he had expected.

Mu En had initially thought that Ma Xiaotao's side would be more passive, but he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Judging from the behavior of Ling Shuang and Ma Xiaotao, it seems that the other person doesn't have many thoughts at all. It's clearly just Ma Xiaotao's unrequited love!

It seems unlikely that recruiting anyone will work; in most cases, we'll have to give away another genius for free.

However, Moon had no intention of interfering.

Even if Ma Xiaotao is on the defensive, it wouldn't be bad if she could actually win over Ling Shuang in the end.

Even if this girl is abducted, she still has the identity of the dean's disciple of the Martial Soul Department, so she can still retain some goodwill.

"Grandmaster, are you telling the truth?" Ma Xiaotao was stunned when she heard Mu En's words, and couldn't help but ask again to confirm.

"Of course." Mu En sighed inwardly as he looked at Ma Xiaotao's nervous appearance.

Ma Xiaotao is already thinking about Ling Shuang like this even before there's any sign of it. If it really works out later, what will happen?

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao no longer thought that Mu En, given his status, would lie to appease her, and she breathed a sigh of relief, her tense expression gradually relaxing.

Seeing this, Moon said, "Are you relieved now? I have something to discuss with your junior. You can go outside and wait for a bit."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao was not very happy, but Mu En was, after all, her grandmaster, and she had to give him the respect she deserved. So she nodded in agreement and turned to leave the room.

However, Ma Xiaotao did not go far, but found a seat not far from the room and sat down.

Only Mu En and Ling Shuang remained in the room.

Mu En looked at Ling Shuang and bowed slightly to him.

Ling Shuang was startled by his behavior and quickly turned to the side.

It wasn't that Ling Shuang was being modest or felt she couldn't accept the honor.

He was afraid of falling into Moon's trap for no reason.

These old foxes are all incredibly cunning; who knows what kind of trouble they might cause you by bowing to them?

“Student Ling Shuang, I apologize to you for Xuan Zi’s behavior.”

Moon straightened up again and said, his tone seemingly very sincere.

However, Ling Shuang didn't feel anything.

This kind of thing seems useless.

There are many guys in this world who may seem very sincere, but they might stab you in the back without hesitation at any time.

Moreover, Mu Enlai's apology for Xuanzi's problem is enough to explain a lot.

Ling Shuang's mind raced.

He doesn't care about apologies, but he'd be quite happy to do so if it could bring him profit.
