Chapter 268 Backyard Banquet
"Come on, let's celebrate the return of Yi Nan and Xiao Wu Zhu Qing. Let's have a drink together."
Flanders raised his glass first.
The others also nodded and raised their glasses.
It’s just the Shrek backyard today.
As the previous batch of students graduated.
Some leave and some go on to gain experience, and it seems a bit deserted.
There were only seven people at the dinner table: Flanders, Zhao Wuji, Liu Erlong, Chen Yinan, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling.
I remember that in the past, there was a big table for everyone to sit down, and we had to squeeze together when we had a meal together.
It's really lively and festive.
Although now there are new younger students coming into the backyard.
But those people were not brought up personally by Flanders, the old dean of Shrek.
There is no such intimacy.
Naturally, not everyone will be invited to eat at this table.
"Yinan, where have you been? You didn't even say you'd come back to see us in over half a year."
Liu Erlong drank the sake in the cup in one gulp.
There was some surprise and some resentment in the look he gave Chen Yinan.
Over the past half year.
Liu Erlong's mental state has deteriorated a lot.
Because she had long discovered that she had developed romantic feelings for the younger generation, Chen Yinan, without knowing when.
But this is a secret that cannot be told
She could only bury this matter in her heart.
This also made her straightforward personality become more depressed and haggard.
I was naturally happy to see Chen Yinan come back again.
But besides being happy, she also had more restraint in her heart.
Still feeling very uncomfortable.
"It's nothing, actually. I talked to the dean and Teacher Zhao in the afternoon, and I took Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing to the Slaughter City."
"After leaving the City of Slaughter, because the two girls had obtained the Killing God Domain and needed to learn how to control their killing intent, they went to Yuexuan and began to learn music and control their own state of mind."
Chen Yinan replied with a smile, and also looked at Liu Erlong a few more times: "Teacher Erlong, you seem to have changed a lot in the past six months."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong suddenly felt nervous.
Is it that I am getting old?
Becoming haggard?
She subconsciously touched her face and asked nervously, "What changed?"
Chen Yinan said: "Of course she has become more beautiful and younger."
In an instant, Liu Erlong's tense heart became as happy as a blooming flower.
She didn't understand why she felt so good just because of this boy's words of praise.
She gave Chen Yinan a shy look and said, "You little brat, you just talk nonsense. I'm already old, how can I be younger and prettier?"
Chen Yinan chuckled: "Teacher Erlong, don't be shy, I'm telling the truth. You've lost a lot of weight recently, but you also look younger."
Flanders looked confused.
Yinan is really good at flattering.
He also hurriedly nodded and began to compliment Liu Erlong: "Yes, Erlong, you are getting younger and more beautiful as you grow older. Look at me and Lao Zhao, even our hair and beards are white."
Zhao Wuji put down a big chicken drumstick in his hand and waved his hand quickly: "Hey, Flanders, if you say you are old, don't drag me into it. I am nearly ten years younger than you. I am still young than you."
"Go to hell with you. You're so muscular and short, and you don't look young at all." Facing Zhao Wuji, Flanders' mouth immediately became vicious.
The two began to quarrel.
The other people at the table just shook their heads and smiled, not paying too much attention.
It is common for these two people to quarrel, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.
After Liu Erlong was overjoyed, she also noticed something unusual in Chen Yinan's words: "Yinan, you just said that you went to the City of Slaughter and obtained a domain?"
Xiao Wu raised her hands excitedly: "Teacher Erlong, let me tell you, this is true. The three of us have obtained the same Killing God Domain, and Zhu Qing and I can even release it together."
"The Domain of the God of Death, this name sounds extraordinary." Liu Erlong nodded.
Everyone chatted while eating.
During the meal, Liu Erlong wanted to say something to Chen Yinan several times.
But in the end, he opened his mouth and said nothing.
When the meal is almost finished.
Zhao Wuji suddenly asked, "Flanders, according to the time, Oscar and Ma Hongjun should be back soon, right?"
Flanders nodded: "Yes, when we parted at the academy, it seemed that the little guys made a decision to come back every six months as a time for everyone to get together."
"Even if someone is too busy to come, others who are free can come back and see each other."
"Come back in half a year?" Chen Yinan was a little surprised.
This is somewhat different from the plan of the Shrek graduating members in the original book.
The original book seems to have agreed to meet at Shrek two years later.
But if you think about it carefully, it is actually understandable.
Tang San, who practiced with his father and whose whereabouts are unknown, is no longer in Shrek.
Dai Mubai, the second prince of the Xing Luo Empire, is no longer in Shrek.
Although Zhu Zhuqing was also born in the Xingluo Empire.
But now he is completely disappointed with his family and has no intention of returning to the family for development. He has made up his mind to follow Chen Yinan.
Among the remaining members, most of them are from the Tiandou Empire.
In fact, it is not too far away from Shrek Academy.
Although Oscar and Ma Hongjun went to the Far North to practice.
The journey is very long.
But these two guys couldn't hold their temper.
In addition, in the original book, Oscar went to the Far North and trained for a year or two.
That was because he was stimulated by Ning Rongrong's engagement, so he worked so hard.
Now Oscar has completely given up on Ning Rongrong.
Like Ma Hongjun, he cares a lot about the two girls from the Tianshui College team.
Maybe he would do that in order to find a girl to be his wife as soon as possible.
I can’t wait to return from the Far North to meet the two girls from Tianshui College.
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er for a long time. It's time to go to Tianshui College in a few days to see if I can run into them."
Chen Yinan muttered to himself.
According to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's personalities.
After participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition.
He probably won't leave Tianshui College easily.
Or stay in college as a teacher.
Or they can act as teaching assistants, continue practicing while training the next batch of younger students.
These soul master academies on the mainland are different from ordinary students.
The final destination of a soul master is generally to rely on a certain force and seek a good development for the future.
It could be the Spirit Hall, the royal family of the Tiandou Empire, or a certain big family.
But at the same time, the five elemental academies of the Tiandou Empire are already well-known on the mainland.
Geniuses like Shui Binger and Shui Yueer in the academy are generally the proud daughters of heaven who have been cultivated with most of the resources of their academy.
In order to repay the college's kindness, they will not leave the college easily even after graduation.
"And Huo Wu, this girl with big breasts and no brains, whose personality is somewhat similar to Xiao Wu, I don't know if she has been doing well these days."
"Yinan, what are you mumbling about? We are talking to you about serious matters." Flanders saw that Chen Yinan was absent-minded, and knocked on the table and reminded him with a smile.
"Ah? What's the important matter?" Chen Yinan was confused, and then his thoughts came back to reality.
"After all this time, I just said so much, but you didn't listen to a word?" Flanders was speechless, looking at Zhao Wuji and said, "Old Zhao, you should talk. You have a loud voice, maybe he won't be distracted when listening to you."
"Okay." Zhao Wuji did not refute, he looked at Chen Yinan and smiled honestly: "Yinan, it's like this."
"You, the Shrek Nine Monsters, have already become famous since you returned from winning the Continental High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition."
"You don't know, the nine of you are the most popular in the academy, especially you, Yi Nan, who are the most popular."
"All the juniors and seniors in every class want to see you little guys."
"Flanders' intention is to have a competition in Shrek after you all return from your half-year appointment."
"As the dean, Flanders will call all the junior students to come and watch the game to satisfy their curiosity about you nine monsters and show you your true strength."
"Satisfy their curiosity and show our strength? Is it really that simple?" Chen Yinan looked at Flanders with suspicion: "Dean, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
"Huh?" Flanders waved his hands quickly, smiled awkwardly and said, "Yinan, what are you talking about, of course it's just that simple, what else could it be?"
Chen Yinan twisted his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully, "Let me think about it. It seems that next month is the day for all colleges to recruit students. Don't you want to use this competition to tell the entire Tiandou Empire that the nine monsters who won the Shrek championship are back, so as to attract more students to register and make more money?"
After hearing this, Flanders' face darkened: "Yinan, in your heart, am I such a person as the dean? Do I always love money more than life?"
Chen Yinan spread his hands: "Isn't it?"
"Dean, you just love money more than your life." Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing said in unison, helping to finish off the enemy.
Flanders' face suddenly turned bitter, as if he was about to cry: "You really wronged me, I really didn't think so, I just thought that Jiuguai had a rare opportunity to come back, so I showed my face in front of everyone and made everyone happy."
"Why are people so happy just because we show our faces?" Chen Yinan asked with some confusion.
"Boss Flanders, I think you'd better stop explaining. The impression that you're greedy for money has been deeply rooted in the minds of the little ones. The more you explain, the worse it will get." Liu Erlong glanced at Flanders, his face full of helplessness.
She then looked at Chen Yinan and helped explain, "Yinan, you don't know how crazy the citizens of Tiandou City became after you guys won the All-Continental High-Level Soul Master Elite Competition."
"When our team came back, Emperor Xue Ye personally ordered a three-day and three-night banquet to entertain all the participating spirit master teams, and exempted all the citizens of Tiandou City from taxes for three years."
"Let me tell you this. The name Shrek Nine Devils is not uttered in the entire continent, but it is definitely a heavyweight in the Tiandou Empire."
"There are tens of thousands of young people in the entire empire who adore you, especially those little girls who are obsessed with you, Yinan."
"Now when Shrek opens its doors to recruit new students every year, the entrance is almost full."
"When it's half a month before the start of school, some people will start to sleep on the floor outside the school and line up, just to get a place in the school, so that they can have a chance to meet you nine monsters in the future."
“Ah???” After hearing this, Chen Yinan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu were all confused.
Xiao Wu was surprised and said, "Then the dean is making a lot of money, isn't he? No wonder when I came in from the front yard this afternoon, I always felt that there were a lot of Shrek people now, and it seemed that teaching buildings were added to the east and west walls. So this is the reason?"
What Xiao Wu said, in fact, Chen Yinan and Zhu Zhuqing also discovered it.
But at that time I was anxious to come back and see my old friends, so I naturally didn't think much about it.
Zhu Zhuqing said: "The point is not these, the point is to get a place in the enrollment registration. Setting up tents and queuing outside half a month in advance, isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"
Ye Lingling shook her head and smiled: "Zhu Qing, it's not an exaggeration at all. You haven't been back for half a year, so you can't understand the power of the name Shrek Nine Devils."
"Even when I occasionally go out to the backyard, many junior students will stop me and ask for autographs."
As she spoke, she looked at Chen Yinan with a hint of jealousy, her pretty face blushed and her voice lowered a little as she said, "Especially most of the school girls, they are asking about Yinan's whereabouts and his past, and also asking about Yinan's romantic past, whether I am really Yinan's woman or something like that..."
"This..." Chen Yinan continued to be confused.
He didn't expect that fans today would be so crazy.
Xiao Wu was a little annoyed and said, "What? Sister Lingling, aren't they too presumptuous to ask such a personal question? If it were me, I would definitely give them a good lesson and teach them a lesson."
Ye Lingling smiled and shook her head: "Xiao Wu, you are a straightforward person, you can't stand this."
"Although I don't want to be surrounded by people every day when I go out, when there is really no other choice, I have to go out with other teachers or Teacher Erlong. This can avoid a lot of trouble."
Other teachers will have some influence over new students.
Not to mention Liu Erlong.
Even though she is a lot gentler now, she still has that fiery core. If she really gets angry, she is still a female Tyrannosaurus Rex, and no one dares to provoke her.
Flanders sighed and said, "Yinan, now you should finally believe in me, right? You really made me sad by misunderstanding me just now."
Chen Yinan picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Dean, we are all family here, so don't pretend. Even if I misunderstood you this time, there is no misunderstanding about your character at all."
Zhao Wuji immediately slapped the table and laughed: "Hahahaha, yes, Yinan, I support what you said. Flanders's greed for money is something he will never be able to change in his lifetime."
"You, you guys..." Flanders' old face turned red.
This caused the other women at the table to laugh secretly.
