The sun is setting in the west, and the orange-red sunset casts a warm afterglow, casting a golden veil over this small seaside town.

Yun Musheng held her chin in one hand and looked at the sea and sky blurred by the golden sunlight in the distance, her eyes a little vacant.

"Your name is Yun Musheng? See you at Shrek in two months."

The young man's clear voice still echoed in her mind, caressing her mind like waves in the breeze. It was not violent, but it lingered in her heart and was unforgettable.

Yun Musheng could still recall the deep eyes of the young man when he spoke. There seemed to be something else hidden in the cold star-like eyes, looking straight at her, which was deeply engraved in her beating heart.

Shrek Academy...?

"Sister, isn't today going well?" Cui Wei looked at Yun Musheng's expression, which was unusually dazed, and couldn't help but feel worried.

"It went very well." Yun Musheng replied, his eyes still in the distance.

"Then...in addition to the alchemist badge and robe, does the Alchemist Association give you some...other privileges?" Cui Wei probed cautiously, feeling even more worried.

"In the future, the medicinal materials I need can be reported to the association and I will have priority in supply. I will also be able to use the association's four-star alchemy room. There are also some channels for bartering between intermediate alchemists, and the president has also made the decision to open them to me. .”

Cui Wei watched Yun Musheng's lip movements, but her eyes didn't move at all, and she couldn't help but sigh melancholy.

Yun Musheng finally came back to her senses. She looked at Cui Wei's worried face, smiled apologetically, leaned back against Cui Wei, was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "I met a Shrek Academy student, he is...very strong, and when he attacked from behind, I was completely unaware of it."

"He attacked you?!" When Cui Wei heard this, a fierce aura suddenly appeared on her face.

"No, don't worry, just listen to me." Yun Musheng comforted Cui Wei in a funny way and recounted a series of events about her encounter with Youte.

She raised her head and glanced at Cuiwei's increasingly ugly expression: "When you go to find Youte to cause trouble at night, remember to avoid his grandma and leave after beating him."

Seeing Cui Wei nod, Yun Musheng continued: "In short, Si Yu helped me. But I didn't notice it until the moment he took action."

Yun Musheng looked out the window and didn't speak for a long time. The setting sun has completely sunk into the sea, and the moon has not yet fully risen. The sky is dim and the sea is also dark and gray.

"Tell me, am I too conceited..."

Yun Musheng lowered her eyelashes, no longer hiding her depressed mood, "Before, I always believed that with the strength of the teacher and my talent, there was no need to go to even the number one college in the mainland. Sooner or later, I would be able to become the best in the world. The strong one."

Yun Musheng smiled self-deprecatingly, her heart feeling dull and uncomfortable: "Only now do I realize how narrow-minded I am, just like a frog in the well. A Si Yu actually makes me feel unfathomable, and a genius like Si Yu, How many Shreks will there be? What do I... have to be proud of?"

Cui Wei looked at Yun Musheng's rare vulnerable side and felt complicated. She didn't know whether to thank the commander or give a good beating to the guy who had shattered her sister's pride.

She patted Fu Yun Mu Sheng comfortingly, and said in a soft voice: "That Si Yu is indeed excellent, but sister, there is no need to underestimate yourself. It is true that Shrek has a genius like Si Yu, but I believe that with your strength, in Shrek You will also be the best. In short, no matter what decision my sister makes, I will be with you."

"Cui Wei is right."

Cen Yue turned in from behind the door with a smile on his face.

"teacher!"

When Yun Musheng saw the gentle smile on Cen Yue's face, her grievance, shame and anger seemed to burst out all at once. Her nose suddenly sore and she rushed into Cen Yue's arms.

Cen Yue Rourou caught her little apprentice, and she couldn't help but thank Si Yu in her heart as she followed Yun Musheng's long and silky hair.

Although the young apprentice didn't say it before, she could tell that Yun Musheng had been unwilling to leave her side and go to Shrek. She was worried about this matter. Unexpectedly, Si Yu gave the young apprentice a fierce provocation and replaced her. She solved a problem.

"Shrek Academy can be said to have gathered the best talents in the entire continent. The growth of soul masters is by no means unique, but a rose of thorns that emerged from fierce competition."

Cen Yue looked directly into his young apprentice's eyes and said seriously: "Moreover, Shrek can give you not only competitors, but also companions to grow together. The teacher has told you that there is no perfect soul master, but there is no such thing as a perfect soul master." With a perfect team, gain friendship, and learn to cooperate, you can go higher and further in the future."

Cen Yue gently squeezed Yun Musheng's shoulder and sighed: "I know that you are mainly reluctant to let go of the teacher, and also trust that the teacher can give you the best teaching, so you choose not to go to Shrek, but if the teacher I insisted that you go and you would not refuse. You have been obedient and considerate of the teacher since you were a child. I am very touched."

"Teacher... I'm sorry."

Yun Musheng looked up at Cen Yue, her eyes were a little red, and her cheeks were flushed with shame. She was too naive and too dependent. Because of her attitude, the teacher never mentioned going to Shrek, but the teacher must have wanted her to go, and she must have caused a lot of trouble to the teacher.

Cen Yue stretched out his hand to cover Yun Musheng's eyes and patted her head gently: "Silly girl, you don't have to be reluctant to let me go. The teacher is actually from Shrek."

"Ah?" Yun Musheng and Cui Wei were stunned at the same time.

"I just left the academy temporarily because of some things, and then I met you again, so I didn't plan to go back so early. But now it's almost the agreed time. After you go to the academy to study, the teacher is also preparing to return to the academy. We are very excited. See you soon."

Cen Yue's eyes seemed complicated as it seemed to bring back some memories. She was silent for a while, regained her thoughts, and spoke again.

"In addition, you don't need to belittle yourself. Although Si Yu is excellent, he is definitely the top genius among his peers. With Shrek's training, it is not surprising that you are not as good as him for the time being."

"But I believe that my sister's talent will never be lost to anyone. Aunt Yue has worked hard to train us over the years. So Si Yu's teacher can't be better than Aunt Yue, right?" Cui Wei asked doubtfully.

"No," Cen Yue shook his head slowly, "There are some resources that I alone cannot provide to you. You will understand this when you get to the academy."

Also, is Si Yu’s teacher necessarily inferior to her? Cen Yue's eyes were somewhat meaningful.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Tell us about your assessment today..."

Night completely enveloped the earth. Under the bright stars, Yun Musheng closed her eyes and sat cross-legged. The soul power in her body was flowing endlessly, like water droplets flowing into the river, making the soul power become stronger with each movement.

Suddenly, Si Yu's deep eyes came to mind again. Yun Musheng was stunned for a moment, retracted her thoughts, and her mind sank into her dantian: Shrek, I'm here!

The author has something to say: Mangosteen hesitated for a long time whether to write this paragraph, but finally did it. I feel that a child who grew up in good conditions and was cared for, no matter how precocious and self-reliant he is, has such an advantage in a small place like Tianhai City. He may still be a little proud and complacent about his talent, but he may also be highly dependent. This is Mangkhut’s personal opinion~
