At this time, Bai Zhou didn't want to disturb Ma Xiaotao, so he wandered around casually.
After all, the inner and outer academies were completely different.
The outer academy felt like a slightly higher-level school, but the inner academy was like a paradise on earth—spacious and sparsely populated, with beautiful scenery. Most importantly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant here, making it easier to break through cultivation bottlenecks and train faster.
…
Bai Zhou stepped through a bamboo grove, lightly walking along the path paved with small stones, and soon came across a large courtyard with pleasant scenery.
The courtyard was planted with flowers and grasses in a tasteful arrangement, shimmering with vibrant life under the sunlight.
At the center was a wide lawn; as the breeze passed, waves of soft movement rippled through the grass.
On one side of the lawn flowed a quiet stream, its water trickling along with a cheerful melody.
Surrounding the courtyard were several exquisite pavilions and towers, perfectly blending with the scenery.
Living here would undoubtedly allow one to forget the world's noise and immerse in tranquility and beauty.
Of course, Bai Zhou did not feel that way.
The moment he arrived, he had a bad premonition…
"This place isn't suitable to stay long…"
Bai Zhou muttered under his breath and turned to leave.
"Who are you, and why are you here?"
Suddenly, an icy voice came from behind him, followed by an overwhelming and terrifying pressure directly pressing down on Bai Zhou.
The person was a Soul Master, but the pressure they emitted was almost at the level of a Title Douluo.
Though terrifying, the pressure was mainly meant to intimidate, without causing much real harm.
Bai Zhou slightly turned his head and saw a woman dressed in purple, appearing to be in her twenties.
She was tall, slightly taller than Ma Xiaotao, with long black hair and delicate features. Her skin was smooth, and though her figure wasn't as striking as Ma Xiaotao's, it was still shapely. Her aura was extremely cold and elegant, giving off the sense that she kept people at a thousand-mile distance…
A Soul Master…
In her twenties…
The inner academy had few people, and Bai Zhou instantly guessed her identity—she was the inner academy senior sister, Zhang Lexuan!
Only Zhang Lexuan's status could allow her to live in such a place.
At this moment, Zhang Lexuan crossed her arms and studied Bai Zhou, her eyes filled with curiosity and surprise.
She noticed that this junior almost completely ignored the Soul Master-level pressure she had released, which was quite interesting…
"Senior… I'm sorry… I'm an outer academy student. I accidentally entered here. I mean no harm…"
Bai Zhou twitched his lips, quickly showing an apologetic expression.
"Hmph. If you weren't also a Shrek Academy student, I would have killed you the moment you trespassed my residence," Zhang Lexuan snorted lightly, then asked, "What's your name? Who is your teacher? And why are you here?"
Although Zhang Lexuan's voice was very pleasant, there was a strong interrogative tone in it.
Her gaze was fully locked on Bai Zhou. If he made any rash moves, she would strike instantly.
"My name is Bai Zhou. I am Xian Lin'er's student. I came looking for Senior Sister Xiaotao, so I entered the inner academy alone and got lost…"
Bai Zhou didn't dare to hide anything, quickly explaining and giving his name to avoid trouble.
Although he was confident he could take a beating, for now he couldn't beat a Soul Master.
Moreover, this was Zhang Lexuan, not an ordinary Soul Master…
"Oh, so you're Bai Zhou. Xiaotao has mentioned you before."
Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan slowly withdrew her pressure, and her vigilance toward Bai Zhou lessened considerably.
She had also heard of Bai Zhou's talent, which was virtually unmatched in both spirit guidance and martial soul systems.
She had always been curious about Bai Zhou but had never seen him in person—today she finally did.
"Senior, I haven't found Senior Sister Xiaotao yet. Could you take me to see her?" Bai Zhou, seeing Zhang Lexuan relax her hostility, politely asked.
Although Zhang Lexuan was very beautiful, she was a devoted type. Pursuing her would be far more difficult than pursuing Xian Lin'er, so Bai Zhou had no intentions at the moment.
It was better to meet Ma Xiaotao first. Otherwise, even with the token given by Xian Lin'er, it would still be difficult to move around in the inner academy.
"Mm, Xiaotao is training at the moment. I'll take you to see her," Zhang Lexuan said. Seeing Bai Zhou's politeness, she inexplicably felt a lot of goodwill toward him.
At this moment, Bai Zhou reminded her of her childhood charge, Beibei. Back then, Beibei was also so endearing. She had originally treated Beibei like her own little brother; later, her feelings changed, and she genuinely liked Beibei.
Rather than calling her Beibei's child bride, it was more accurate to say Beibei was her child groom.
After all, she had raised Beibei since childhood…
"Then thank you very much, Senior Sister~" Bai Zhou looked at Zhang Lexuan and gave a bright smile. Suddenly, he pretended to be curious and asked, "By the way, Senior, you're so beautiful—may I know your name?"
"Pfft~"
Zhang Lexuan, already favorably inclined toward Bai Zhou, couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
"You little rascal, so young and already so slick. What are you trying to do?"
Having been pursued by countless boys in the inner and outer academies, she could see Bai Zhou's small flirtation intentions at a glance, even though he was hiding it well.
"No, I just wanted to know how to address Senior Sister, so that if I enter the inner academy in the future, I can properly thank you," Bai Zhou said sincerely.
"My name is Zhang Lexuan. But they all call me Senior Sister. If you want, you can call me that too," Zhang Lexuan said, covering her mouth to suppress laughter.
If another unfamiliar boy had asked, she would have coldly refused.
But Bai Zhou's question seemed amusing, and she didn't feel annoyed at all.
After all, this junior appeared genuinely pure. All his thoughts were written on his face; she immediately knew what he was thinking. Compared with the scheming boys in the academy who used all sorts of tricks to pursue her, he was much better.
At the same time, she felt a strange thought: if calculated correctly, Bai Zhou, her youngest junior, might be her youngest admirer…
After all, she was 14 years older than Bai Zhou…
"Then please, Senior Sister, take me to see Senior Sister Xiaotao~" Bai Zhou said shyly.
"Mm, let's go."
Zhang Lexuan nodded lightly, then stepped to Bai Zhou's side, gently patting his head with a serious expression:"In the future, don't wander around alone without someone to accompany you. Luckily, you met me. If you meet some hot-tempered teacher, even with Xian Lin'er's token, you might still get a beating."
"Mm mm mm, I understand!"
Bai Zhou nodded repeatedly, behaving very obediently.
After all, Zhang Lexuan's words made sense. The inner academy was filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Many graduates didn't leave the academy, staying at Shrek as teachers. Their main purpose was to live on Seagod Island, a magical place, to cultivate.
If he wandered into the training grounds of strong people carelessly, although Xian Lin'er's token could protect him, it would still cause trouble for Xian Lin'er.
