Xian Lin'er's face turned cold. Yan Shaozhe's suggestion was to turn the Soul Palace into a puppet of the academy, without any autonomy.
She said coldly, "Yan Shaozhe, do you want your Martial Soul Department to lead the Soul Hall? Does that make any difference whether the Soul Hall is established or not? Why don't you just select a few teachers to form the Soul Hall? They'll listen to you more! Besides, the Soul Hall was proposed by my disciple, who built it from scratch. Without him, there would be no Soul Hall. How could he not shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the Soul Hall Master?"
"Yan Shaozhe, you are too biased. My disciple's assessment of you was absolutely correct!"
Yan Shaozhe blushed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and said, "I did all this for the academy—"
"Shao Zhe, sit down. Lin'er, you sit down too," Mu En suddenly said from the recliner.
"Yes, teacher." Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er, who had been at odds, simultaneously softened their stances and returned to their respective seats.
Moon said again, "This child had told me about the Soul Palace before, and I supported his idea. Both of you have explained the pros and cons of establishing the Soul Palace very clearly. It is a double-edged sword, with both advantages and disadvantages. The key lies in the person who controls it and the supervision of it."
“Therefore, the academy cannot let it develop on its own, little guy, do you understand?” Mu En looked at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "I understand, which is why I established the position of mentor when I founded the Soul Hall and invited teachers to take on this role. In addition, I would like to invite Dean Qian, Dean Yan, and Dean Cai to serve as mentors to supervise the work of the Soul Hall."
Once they enter the Soul Palace, wouldn't I gain a few more loyal subordinates?

Chapter 106 The Soul Palace is Divided and Zhang Lexuan Appears
Mu En praised, "You've considered everything very thoroughly. Shao Zhe, Mei'er, and Duo Duo, would you be willing to serve as instructors for the Soul Hall?"
"We will do as you instruct, teacher," the group replied.
Mu En continued, "It won't work if the Soul Hall is only for the outer court and not for the inner court. How about this, the inner court will also establish a Soul Hall, which will specifically recruit inner court students. For the time being, Le Xuan will serve as the hall master. The outer court's Soul Hall will specifically recruit outer court students, and you, Yu Hao, will serve as the hall master."
"Yes."
Everyone agreed. Huo Yuhao secretly sighed, realizing that experience still mattered. He could have gradually recruited inner court students and then unified the intentions of both inner and outer court students. However, Mu En's actions directly separated the power of the inner and outer court Soul Halls, protecting the core of Shrek Academy. At the same time, the outer court Soul Hall would also have a centripetal force towards the inner court Soul Hall, meaning that high-ranking members of the outer court Soul Hall would first have to serve as ordinary members of the inner court Soul Hall before entering the inner court.
In this way, although the inner and outer Soul Halls appear to be of equal rank, the students naturally assume that the outer Soul Hall is subordinate to the inner Soul Hall.
Mu En looked at Huo Yuhao and continued, "I will have Le Xuan join the Soul Hall of the Outer Court and study under you for a period of time. You will teach her how to establish a Soul Hall and some precautions."
His purpose in doing this was partly for this reason, but more importantly, it was to allow Zhang Lexuan and Beibei to spend more time together and develop their relationship.
Beibei has also broken up with her boyfriend, which is a good time to foster a better relationship between the two children.
Huo Yuhao agreed, overjoyed.
Zhang Lexuan joining the Soul Hall of the Outer Academy for a period of time? This is truly an unexpected delight.
Brother Beibei, I'm sorry again. I wish you and Xu Sanshi a happy and fulfilling life together. As for Xiaoya and Zhang Lexuan, I'll take care of them for you.
Moon, you've finally done something good!
The meeting came to an end. Huo Yuhao looked at Yan Shaozhe, whose face was dark, and extended his hand, saying, "Dean Yan, I will need your help in the future."
Yan Shaozhe snorted coldly and did not shake hands. Seeing this, Cai Meier smiled and said, "Yuhao, please take care of me in the future."
As they were about to shake hands, Yan Shaozhe immediately grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand before Cai Meier could.
Huo Yuhao then activated his Succubus Body, enthusiastically extending his other hand, clasping both hands together, and tightly grasping Yan Shaozhe's hand, saying, "Dean Yan, actually I'm your fan. It's just a pity that Dean Yan seems to have many misunderstandings about me, but it doesn't matter. As long as Dean Yan joins the Soul Palace, we'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future, and we'll be family! Dean Yan, you must teach me well!"
Yan Shaozhe tried to break free from Huo Yuhao, but he couldn't hit a smiling person, so he forced himself to be calm and said, "As long as you cause less trouble in the academy in the future, I will naturally not misunderstand you."
After a long while, Huo Yuhao reluctantly let go of Yan Shaozhe's hand.
Yan Shaozhe breathed a sigh of relief after withdrawing his hand. After looking at Huo Yuhao's repulsive face for so long, he now felt that even Qian Duoduo's rough face next to him looked somewhat handsome.
It's actually quite good-looking! How come he never noticed before?
Compared to Huo Yuhao, whom he dislikes even more, this annoying Qian Duoduo does have some merits.
Qian Duoduo patted Huo Yuhao's head and said, "Little guy, don't you want to shake hands with me?"
Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, the succubus body hasn't been deactivated yet. Could Dean Qian have been infected just by touching his head like Bei Bei did?
Dean Qian, you can't mess with the Tai Sui! Bei Bei has already paid a heavy price for this!
He was already embarrassed enough for prying Xian Lin'er off to his own lock, but to then trick Qian Duoduo into changing his sexual orientation, that would be so embarrassing!
He felt no embarrassment towards Yan Shaozhe. Even though Cai Meier's lock still had traces of his lubricant in it, he felt only stimulation and no guilt when facing Yan Shaozhe.
But Qian Duoduo is different. They have never had any conflicts and will become friends in the future, so they will try to avoid scamming each other as much as possible.
Huo Yuhao then thought, since we've already made contact, let's trick you one more time. Maybe if your orientation changes, and Teacher Lin'er falls into my arms, you won't be heartbroken?
He did all of this for the sake of money.
Huo Yuhao once again warmly shook Qian Duoduo's hand.
Qian Duoduo immediately felt that Lin'er's disciple was really kind, and when he looked at Yan Shaozhe's old face, he was still as annoying as ever.
The Sea God Pavilion meeting has ended, but Huo Yuhao's Shrek life will continue.
With Shrek Academy's recognition and support, everything at the Soul Palace began to get back on track. As a result, another group of students joined the Soul Palace. Huo Yuhao checked the statistics on superpowers and found that the Soul Palace already had more than 500 people.
Over the weekend, the Soul Palace welcomed a special guest.
The newcomer was a young woman who appeared to be in her early twenties. She had long black hair, wore a moon-white dress, and possessed stunning beauty and a gentle demeanor. She had a faint smile on her face, like a fairy under the moon.
The girl's voice was clear and cool yet gentle, "Hello, junior brother. My name is Zhang Lexuan. You can call me Senior Sister Zhang or Eldest Senior Sister. I am here to join the Soul Hall for observation and learning on the orders of Elder Mu."
Is she Zhang Lexuan?
Huo Yuhao's mind raced as he recalled her information from the original novel.
Her martial soul is the moon, seemingly related to a lineage of the Sun Moon Empire's royal bloodline. She possesses immense talent, becoming a Title Douluo at the age of twenty-six. As a child, her family was massacred by a rival clan; she survived only by hiding under her bed playing, and was rescued by Mu En who happened to be passing by. To repay his kindness, Mu En made a pact with her to make her Bei Bei's child bride. She cared for Bei Bei from a young age and developed deep feelings for him, but Bei Bei always regarded her as a sister. In the original story, she chose to forget Bei Bei in the Valley of Love and Destiny.
Huo Yuhao didn't want to ponder why the enemy Soul Master hadn't discovered the little girl hiding under the bed, nor did he want to speculate why Mu En, who was already severely injured, happened to pass by. The truth should have been buried long ago. What he was thinking about now was how to win over this seemingly gentle but inwardly strong senior sister's heart.
It's not that he's lecherous, he's not lecherous at all, really!
He simply loved the beautiful people and things in the world, and couldn't bear to see them tarnished and suffer bad fates, so he wanted to give them a stable and bright future.
The beauty of the world should be cherished, and it would be even better if he were the one to cherish it.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Hello, Sister Lexuan, my name is Huo Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao invited Zhang Lexuan to sit down and said with a smile, "Sister Lexuan, you've come to the Soul Palace to learn about its overall operation, structure, and functions. So, how about joining the Secretariat as its head? The Secretariat assists the Palace Master and Deputy Palace Master in handling various internal affairs of the Soul Palace. It allows you to interact with all departments within the Soul Palace. There's no better department than this. Furthermore, given Senior Sister's status, she can also serve as the Deputy Palace Master."
Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "Junior, you can arrange it."
She was also secretly observing this junior. His more than 20 consecutive victories in the arena, his relationship with Xiao Tao, the Poseidon Pavilion meeting held because of him, and Mu En's attention to him all made her very curious about this junior.

Chapter 107 Zhang Lexuan's Doubts and the Refreshing of New Abilities
"Sister Lexuan, let me take you for a walk around the Soul Palace," Huo Yuhao said, standing up and inviting her gently.
Zhang Lexuan said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Huo Yuhao first led Zhang Lexuan to the secretariat. There were four beautiful girls sitting in the classroom: Xiao Xiao, Zhu Lu, Lan Luoluo, and the Lan Susu sisters.
Among them, Zhu Lu was the most eye-catching. The girl from the Xingluo Zhu family already had a hot figure, a childlike face and a large bust. In addition, she was dressed in a particularly revealing outfit, which made her even more attractive.
This was a set of clothes that Huo Yuhao specially commissioned for Zhu Lu under the pretext of the new uniform for the Experiment Secretariat, requiring Zhu Lu to wear the clothes he requested every day when she was in the Secretariat.
Because of the loyalty attribute granted by the [Hive Will], she would agree to any of Huo Yuhao's requests as long as they weren't too unreasonable.
This was merely Huo Yuhao's initial taming plan; he wanted Dai Huabin to witness firsthand how his fiancée would gradually transform into his shape.
However, it seems we need to pause for now. We can't scare the senior sister and make this newly appeared little white rabbit wary.
Huo Yuhao explained, "This is the secretariat; they are all department members."
"This is Xiao Xiao, my close friend, and currently the most capable person in the secretariat."
Xiao Xiao tilted her head, looking at Huo Yuhao with a puzzled expression. Her bright eyes seemed to be saying something: Class monitor, who is she?
Huo Yuhao then introduced Zhu Lu and the Lan sisters to Zhang Lexuan in turn.
Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Xiao and the others and said, "This is Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner courtyard. She will be serving as the head of the secretariat for the next period of time."
"The Senior Sister of the Inner Court!" the four exclaimed, their eyes shining as they looked at Zhang Lexuan. Everyone who entered Shrek Academy had at least heard of this Senior Sister. To the students, she was the goddess of all the boys and the idol of all the girls.
Zhang Lexuan chatted with them for a while with a smile, and then Huo Yuhao took her to visit other departments.
"This is the Aid Department, which is dedicated to providing assistance to students from impoverished families. The department head is Jiang Nannan."
"This is the Publicity Department, responsible for publicity. The head is Tang Ya."
Huo Yuhao turned his head to secretly observe how this senior sister would deal with Tang Ya, his former rival in love. Actually, he also liked to watch the drama unfold.
As it turned out, Zhang Lexuan showed no abnormality. Just like when she met others, she treated Tang Ya with great gentleness and kindness.
That means even if he messes with this senior sister in the future, she should still be easy to talk to, right?
Zhang Lexuan stepped out, smiled, and tapped Huo Yuhao on the head, saying, "Junior brother, there are some shows you shouldn't watch carelessly."
Huo Yuhao chuckled and continued leading Zhang Lexuan to the next location, introducing, "This is the Organization Department, responsible for the personnel transfer and appointment of the Soul Hall. The head is—"
Huo Yuhao glanced at Zhang Lexuan before continuing, "The minister is Beibei."
Zhang Lexuan showed no sign of anything amiss and pushed open the door to go inside.
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were sitting together, seemingly discussing something. Upon seeing Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao enter, they immediately jumped away.
Beibei forced a smile and said, "Sister Lexuan, what brings you here?"
