When Su Yunlin and Wang Dong walked over, they naturally caught Bei Bei's attention. The moment Bei Bei saw Su Yunlin, his face instantly started aching from phantom pain.
Su Yunlin raised a hand, and Bei Bei reflexively lifted his own to shield his face.
"Yo, Senior Bei Bei, what are you doing?"
Only then did Bei Bei lower his hand and glare at him resentfully.
"You've still got the nerve to ask? You beat me up so badly that night, and now you're acting innocent."
Su Yunlin spread his hands helplessly.
"I was just taking money to help someone solve a problem."
"You finally admitted it!"
"Admitted what? I have no idea what you're talking about."
For the first time in his life, Bei Bei found himself completely stifled by someone. He couldn't win in a fight, and he couldn't win in an argument either.
"Senior Brother, are you looking at this Spirit Bone too?" Wang Dong quickly changed the subject.
"Bei Bei so you're here"
A shamelessly annoying voice suddenly rang out. It was Xu Sanshi.
Bei Bei's face darkened immediately. Why was this bastard calling him so affectionately?
"Oh, Su Yunlin and Wang Dong. Outer Court Year Six student Xu Sanshi. We've met before."
"Senior Xu."
Soon enough, Xu Sanshi started clinging to Bei Bei again, begging him to find a way to recruit Jiang Nannan into the Tang Sect. As long as Jiang Nannan joined, he would also join the Tang Sect.
After hearing that, Wang Dong turned to Su Yunlin.
"Yunlin, you should join the Tang Sect too."
"No."
Su Yunlin rejected the idea once again. He had no interest in working for the Tang Sect. He was already lowering himself enough by becoming Tang San's future son-in-law; there was no way he was going to work under him too.
The two of them watched as Xu Sanshi tried every possible way to pursue Jiang Nannan, only to get kicked away by her once again.
Rubbing his chin, Su Yunlin said thoughtfully, "Senior Xu, you're from the Xuanming Sect, right?"
Xu Sanshi climbed back to his feet and dusted himself off before nodding.
"The Xuanming Sect… the Xuanming Turtle… I remember that if a Xuanming Turtle wants to evolve into a Xuanwu Turtle, it requires a special ritual."
Xu Sanshi's face instantly turned pale. He rushed over and clamped a hand over Su Yunlin's mouth.
"Brother Su! Brother Su, stop talking! I'm begging you, don't say anymore!"
Su Yunlin pushed him away.
"I just wanted to ask what the ritual for evolving a Xuanming Turtle into a Xuanwu Turtle is."
Xu Sanshi immediately relaxed.
"So you don't know. Then it's fine. That's a secret of the Xuanming Sect, so I can't tell you. I'm leaving, bye!"
Bei Bei stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"So that guy really does have something going on with Jiang Nannan. They definitely knew each other long ago."
Wang Dong nodded.
"Senior Xu is pretty devoted. Yunlin, why don't you learn from him a little?"
Su Yunlin reached out and pinched Wang Dong's cheek.
"So now you're saying I'm not devoted?"
That scene was completely witnessed by Bei Bei. His eyes widened in shock.
"Junior Brother Su… don't tell me you and Junior Brother Wang are—"
Su Yunlin shook his head.
"It's not what you think. She's a girl."
"Oh. Ah?! Wang Dong, you're a girl? Then you and Junior Brother Su…"
Bei Bei trailed off awkwardly, unable to finish the sentence.
Scratching her head awkwardly, Wang Dong said, "That's basically it. We're just dating normally, though. We're still young. Yunlin and I are both waiting for the Sea God Lake matchmaking event in the Inner Court."
Bei Bei suddenly felt that his own teacher-student romance was already outrageous enough, yet somehow these two were even more unbelievable.
Soon after, Su Yunlin and Wang Dong turned their attention back to the golden-red Spirit Bone before them.
Golden Glow Left Arm Bone.
Originating from a ten-thousand-year Golden Earth Dragon King. Light attribute. Estimated to possess the power of light flames. Suitable for Spirit Masters with light attributes.
This Spirit Bone likely contained an offensive ability.
The Golden Earth Dragon King possessed a pure, though diluted, bloodline of the light dragon clan. This Spirit Bone contained the concentrated essence of that ten-thousand-year Golden Earth Dragon King's bloodline.
The only regret was that the Golden Earth Dragon King that dropped this Spirit Bone had only cultivated for a little over ten thousand years.
Price: 9.5 million gold soul coins.
Reading the description, Su Yunlin commented, "The effects are extremely good, especially the light dragon bloodline. If a dragon-type Spirit Master absorbs it, there's even a chance their Martial Soul could evolve."
"Unfortunately, the age is too low. Just over ten thousand years."
He glanced toward Bei Bei.
"Senior Bei Bei, do you want this Spirit Bone too? I can sense that your body contains a light attribute."
Bei Bei was startled.
"You can tell that too?"
"I have a darkness attribute, while Wang Dong has a light attribute. My sensitivity toward light attributes is naturally higher than normal people's."
"And that night, your whole body was glowing golden while you shouted something about a Holy Light Dragon. Don't tell me that Holy Light Dragon is your trump card?"
Naturally, Su Yunlin already knew that Bei Bei possessed the bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon. It was just that his bloodline was impure, requiring certain stimulation before it could awaken.
"That really is my trump card. You bastard, so you finally admit it! You beat me half to death that night!"
Su Yunlin chuckled.
"Like I said, I was just taking money to solve someone's problem. You can only blame yourself for disappointing your elders."
Bei Bei snorted coldly.
Naturally, he understood that his relationship had dragged down his cultivation progress. Otherwise, with the resources available to him, his achievements would never have been so limited. Compared to others, his cultivation definitely wasn't leading the pack, which was honestly rather embarrassing.
"Senior Brother Bei Bei, Class Monitor, Wang Dong!"
A refreshing voice rang out. It was Huo Yuhao, who had arrived at the Treasure Appraisal Gathering together with Xie Huanyue.
"Junior Brother." Bei Bei smiled warmly when he saw Huo Yuhao.
Su Yunlin merely nodded, while Wang Dong remained focused on the Spirit Bone and ignored Huo Yuhao completely.
"I heard both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Tool Department are fighting over you…"
Bei Bei began chatting with Huo Yuhao.
Meanwhile, Wang Dong had already decided to take the Spirit Bone. She quickly headed to the counter with her VIP card to claim it.
After purchasing the Spirit Bone, Wang Dong returned with a satisfied expression and immediately dragged Su Yunlin toward the next display case.
"Hm? A skull Spirit Bone!"
Su Yunlin stopped before a much larger display case. Inside rested a purple-black Skull Spirit Bone.
Nether Demon Skull of Mental Concentration.
Obtained from a fifty-thousand-year Nether Demon Fox, an extremely rare spirit beast possessing both powerful darkness and spiritual attributes.
Absorbing this Spirit Bone would greatly enhance one's spiritual power while also granting a spiritual-type offensive ability.
Additionally, this Skull Spirit Bone possessed a passive effect: Focus.
It could greatly sharpen the user's concentration, allowing them to perform much more delicate tasks.
Purchase restriction: Only available to holders of top-tier VIP cards.
Su Yunlin rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Looks like this Skull Spirit Bone was specially prepared by the academy for me. It suits me perfectly in every aspect—darkness attribute, spiritual power enhancement, and that Focus effect."
"Soul Engineers especially need that kind of concentration. Looks like the academy really spent a fortune this time."
Wang Dong looked at the Spirit Bone.
"Are you buying it? Since it suits you so well, you should just get it."
"You can't seriously be waiting for a hundred-thousand-year Skull Spirit Bone, right? As far as I know, unless you deliberately leave only the head slot empty before hunting a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, the chances of getting a hundred-thousand-year Skull Spirit Bone are extremely low."
"The other option would be going to the Evil Forest on the Sun Moon Continent and hunting an Evil Eye Tyrant. Those have a high chance of dropping Skull Spirit Bones."
Su Yunlin shook his head.
"No need. This Spirit Bone is useless to me."
"Huh?"
"Still, I think we should take it anyway. It's basically the academy giving us free benefits. If we don't take advantage of it, that'd be a waste."
He smirked slightly.
"I'm pretty sure the academy has already set its sights on us. They're trying to figure out how to tie us down to Shrek Academy."
Wang Dong understood that very well.
She personally didn't care much. She could go wherever she wanted, and when she got tired of wandering, she could always return home. There was no place in the world that could truly restrain her.
But if Su Yunlin wanted to remain at Shrek Academy, then she was willing to stay with him.
Wherever Su Yunlin went, she would go too.
