Chapter 138 - The Final Preparation Before Entering Hive

“Think about it, how old is this guy now? How can his Martial Arts Foundation be compared to those elders in the sect?”

“Of course, it’s more practical to have a professional teacher!”

Su Mumu could only stare for a moment.

“So why did he become the sect leader at such a young age anyway?”

(￢‸￢)?

Lin Ye shrugged helplessly.

“According to what he said, it seems like he’s trying to avoid an arranged betrothal. As long as he inherits the position of sect master, he can reject the arranged proposal coming his way. Otherwise, after the college entrance exam, this kid will have to invite us to his family’s wedding.”

“Huh?” Su Mumu said.

“What a strange reason.”

After a pause, Su Mumu curiously asked,

“But since it’s an agreement left behind by his parents, why should they pass the position of sect leader to him and let him avoid this arranged marriage?”

“By right, don’t all parents wish for us, the younger generation, to get married earlier?”

(„ಡωಡ„)

“This was a marriage agreement set in his grandfather’s generation,” Lin Ye explained.

“It’s not his father.”

“His father felt that they should respect the young people’s thoughts, so he deliberately passed the position of sect leader to him and let him decide for himself whether Shangguan Yan would accept marriage.”

“It seems that this matter has angered his grandfather quite a bit.”

“He almost ran away from home.”

Su Mumu suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahaha!”

“Who would’ve thought that the junior Martial Uncle Shangguan has such a secret?”

“Became a sect leader to escape from marriage?”

“Hahaha! I’m dying of laughter!”

(๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑)

Lin Ye continued,

“Don’t laugh at him. I’ve seen the picture of the girl he was to be betrothed to. She’s a very beautiful girl, and she’s also the daughter of a dimensional war hero. Not only is she proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she’s also very talented in combat.”

“She got into one of the top three universities with her own abilities, but she gave up on the other party’s recruitment and followed in Shangguan Yan’s footsteps, getting into Tianqi University.”

Su Mumu looked slightly affronted.

“Are you insulting me?”

“In your eyes, am I such a useless person?”

“Wuwuwu, I’m so sad, I have no love!”

(.◕ˇεˇ◕.)

“You’ve got the main point wrong.” Lin Ye said, “The main point is that she’s so outstanding that she ran over to catch up with Shangguan Yan. In the end, Shangguan Yan didn’t know how lucky he was and used his status as the head of the Spirit Charm Sect to reject her.”

Su Mumu pouted her little mouth.

“No,” she said.

“I’m not mistaken.”

“You’re just saying that I can’t do anything.”

s(·`ヘ´·;)ゞ”

Lin Ye coughed.

“Ahem–Don’t care about the details— ahem.”

“Anyway,”

“Starting tomorrow.”

“You can practice your combat Skills with Shangguan Yan in peace.”

“When little Mumu reaches level 15, hand her over to me. I need her to explore the Hive-like secret dungeon, see the general situation inside, and come up with some backup plans.”

Su Mumu tilted her head.

“You’re not bringing me?”

“I’ve asked Brother Shu and Brother Evil Omen. They said that I can also enter Hive-like, and like little Mumu, even if I leave halfway, I can enter again.”

“Isn’t it better for me to follow you to explore the way than for little Mumu to go alone?”

|･ω･`)

“No.” Lin Ye rejected her sternly,

“You can’t go.”

After a pause, he carefully explained, “Hive-like dungeon is a hell-level large-scale secret dungeon. It’s even scarier than the Campfire Explorer’s upgraded ‘Yanan Forest’. There are Platinum Boss creatures everywhere, and even Diamond-level Boss. I can’t let you take the risk.”

“Even if you can withdraw from there at any time…”

“My answer is no,”

Su Mumu gently ran her fingers through her hair.

“Aiya… What are you so excited about? I was just joking. If you really let me go with you, I wouldn’t be brave enough to go in!”

(·ε·`)

“More importantly…” Lin Ye calmly replied,

“If you and little Mumu go in together, you won’t be able to go in freely without her. It will affect her efficiency in exploring the way and waste my time.”

Su Mumu was speechless.

“You despise me that much?”

“Alright, you won’t be able to get the massage tonight. The stewed pork ribs for dinner are also gone. I’m going to go to Baizhi’s house to play for the night!”

“Sure.” Lin Ye said,

“I’m going to have dinner with Mr. Huang tonight.”

“However, Mr. Huang also invited you and Bai Zhi. Do you still want to come along?”

Su Mumu pouted her little mouth.

“Hmph!”

“Why wouldn’t I go if there’s good food?”

“Hurry up and lead the way!”

(.◕ˇεˇ◕.)

Lin Ye gently pinched her little face.

“Alright, call Bai Zhi and Shangguan Yan. We’ll go find Mr. Huang and have a good meal together.”

…

At night…

Lin Ye and the other three stepped into the Yuzhilan restaurant and were led to room 888 by the pretty waitress again. They met the mature and reliable handsome uncle, Huang Tianqi.

Huang Tianqi didn’t waste any time. He asked the waiter to serve the dishes and went straight to the point.

“Lin Ye, Shangguan Yan, Bai Zhi, and Su Mumu, when do you four plan to report to Tianqi University?”

“I’ll go after I’m done clearing Hive-like dungeon,” Lin Ye replied.

“They’re all with me.”

Huang Tianqi nodded.

“Alright,” He said.
