Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Outside, Mu En and Yan Shaozhe, who were eavesdropping, turned pale upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's lewd words.

They never expected that Ma Xiaotao would say such a thing.

"Shao Zhe, it seems you haven't taught Xiao Tao well enough."

Upon hearing Mu En's words, Yan Shaozhe sensed something was amiss and immediately tried to explain, "Teacher, Xiao Tao is still young. Right now, our focus should be on her cultivation. We can discuss that in the future..."

"She's younger than Beibei?"

Mu En didn't give Yan Shaozhe a chance to finish speaking, interrupting him directly: "Xiao Tao, you'd better give me an explanation for your comprehension skills later."

Mo Yan's "investment" was meant to get Ma Xiaotao on his side in the future, but his grand-disciple said something like, "We are all girls and can't have children," which almost made Mu En lose his composure.

His grand-disciple's comprehension ability was truly beyond the expectations of this old man.

He felt panicked at the thought of what Shrek Academy would become if Mo Yan didn't become the Sea God Pavilion Master in the future.

The unreliable Xuanzi, the petty Yan Shaozhe, the love-struck grandson Beibei, and the big-breasted but brainless grand-disciple Ma Xiaotao—it seems that the most reliable one is only Le Xuan.

Holy crap, the more I think about it, the darker Shrek Academy's future seems!

Mu En clutched his head, feeling an unbearable headache, and finally his gaze fell on his apprentice, Yan Shaozhe.

"Shao Zhe, come back to the Sea God Pavilion with me later. I think I should teach you a few more principles."

"what???"

"What do you mean, 'huh'? Didn't you hear me?!"

"heard it."

In order to avoid ending up like Xuanzi, "swimming with the fish" in the Sea God Lake, Yan Shaozhe quickly nodded, now filled with regret.

Why didn't I teach Xiao Tao my wisdom and strategies back then?

The moment Ma Xiaotao uttered those words, the atmosphere in the room froze instantly, falling into an eerie silence, as if even the air itself had stopped moving.

After a moment, Mo Yan broke the silence first. She looked at Ma Xiaotao with a strange look and said, "Xiaotao, your thought process is indeed very novel."

"Huh? Isn't that how it is? Could it be that I misunderstood?" Relying on her "most powerful comprehension ability," Ma Xiaotao pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out where she had gone wrong.

"Sigh~" Mo Yan sighed inwardly as he looked at Ma Xiaotao's appearance.

Sure enough, if Shrek Academy weren't kept in check by Moon, it would probably be in complete chaos.

"What I mean is, I will need your help in the future."

"Oh, I see! So that's how it is!"

Ma Xiaotao blushed immediately, realizing that she had indeed misunderstood.

But soon, she began to have doubts: Mo Yan in front of her was so powerful. Even though she had broken the curse of the Evil Fire Phoenix and entered the realm of ultimate fire, she still seemed to be no match for this woman in front of her... Could she really help her in the future?
As if he could read minds, Mo Yan looked at Ma Xiaotao's pretty face and asked with a smile, "Are you thinking right now, 'I'm so powerful, how can you help me?' right?"

"Mm." Ma Xiaotao nodded honestly.

"If I put it this way, if I help you today, and I encounter some trouble in the future, will you stand by my side without hesitation?"

"You mean this?" Ma Xiaotao felt that her brain was finally "getting the hang of it".

"If I were to become your master's enemy in the future, would you side with me or with your master?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe, who was outside, looked at his master, Mu En, with a shocked expression that seemed to say, "Master, look! This girl with an innate evil nature is bewitching people again!"

"Calm down." Mu En glanced at his disciple, who was starting to get restless again, and said in a deep voice.

"But Teacher..."

"Shut up!"

Moon doesn't want to hear his explanation now.

He was also very curious about what Xiao Tao, his grand-disciple, would choose. In fact, he hoped that his grand-disciple would stand on Mo Yan's side.

There was no way around it; Yan Shaozhe's disciple was truly useless, firmly ranking second on his "list of good-for-nothings." As for who was number one? Of course, it was his beloved junior disciple, Xuanzi!

"Mo Yan, you're talking about a hypothetical situation, right?"

"Hmm." Mo Yan nodded in confusion, somewhat puzzled.

Instead of answering her question, Ma Xiaotao pressed her for such trivial details, which only fueled her curiosity.

"Then I'll tie him up before my master becomes your enemy, and then you can deal with him as you see fit!"

Ma Xiaotao put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "Anyway, my master has already made it clear that you are the future master of the Sea God Pavilion. My master is at most just an elder."

If my master becomes your enemy in the future, it will surely be because he made a mistake first!

These words plunged the atmosphere into an eerie silence once again.

Mo Yan and Dugu Luo looked at each other, their eyes seemingly holding the same question: Is the person in front of them really Ma Xiaotao, or is someone else in disguise?

Could it be that Tianmu Cheng secretly "refined" Ma Xiaotao?

When Yan Shaozhe, who was outside, heard his apprentice's words, the expression on his face could no longer be described as "shocked".

He never imagined that his apprentice, besides uttering those outrageous words, could also say something so disloyal and treacherous.

Is this still his adorable apprentice? Still his sweet and caring daughter?

How did it suddenly become a substandard cotton product...?

At this moment, Mu En looked at his apprentice Yan Shaozhe with a strange expression.

To be honest, he was also very surprised by Ma Xiaotao's answer.

He thought she would either say yes or no, but she gave such an answer, which was completely beyond his expectations of this grand-disciple.

"It seems that Xiaotao does have some good points."

Yan Shaozhe: "???"

Yan Shaozhe, who was standing to the side, was so angry that he almost had a stroke.

He finally understood why his master had been so angry back then.

He was getting angrier and angrier, but what Xiaotao said next left him speechless. He could only faint on the spot as a final protest.

"But he's your master. A teacher for a day is a father for life. Are you serious?" Mo Yan was genuinely doubting whether the Ma Xiaotao in front of him was the same Ma Xiaotao he had known before.

"But the premise is that Shrek's honor cannot be damaged! If the teacher harbors ill will towards you, the future head of the Sea God Pavilion, then it means that he may pose a threat to the academy."

"So I have no choice but to put aside my own family for the greater good." Ma Xiaotao said with utmost seriousness; she had long regarded Shrek Academy as her home.

The Sea God Pavilion Master is someone whose very existence is to maintain the survival and development of Shrek Academy; his grandmaster was such a person.

If by then, his teacher is truly dissatisfied with Mo Yan, then he will tie him up and cripple his cultivation.

It's better for him to live as an ordinary person than to lose his life.

If the unconscious Yan Shaozhe knew his disciple's thoughts, he would probably activate his Martial Soul True Body on the spot and teach this "unfilial disciple" a lesson.

Upon hearing this, Mu En nodded in agreement, then glanced disdainfully at his unconscious apprentice beside him.

This disciple has a really bad attitude. If it weren't for the fact that he is the child of his own brother and junior sister, he would really want to expel this disciple from the sect.

For a moment, Mo Yan truly admired Shrek Academy's brainwashing abilities. Ma Xiaotao was so ruthless in attacking her own master for the sake of Shrek's glory; her filial piety was simply extreme.

He is in no way inferior to Wang Dong.

She had heard Dugu Luo say that Wang Dong had slapped Tang San in the outer courtyard, and now, there's Ma Xiaotao too.

Shrek Academy is indeed a place that doesn't tolerate idlers, and it's a place where talents emerge in large numbers!
