I really am a Titled Douluo

On the other side, after leaving the Imperial Palace Great Hall, Dai Yun'er immediately sought out Long Yue and the others!

Upon seeing Dai Yun'er's delighted expression, they curiously asked, "Her Royal Highness the Princess, why do you look so happy? Could it be that you've encountered something good?"

"Yes, I've never seen Her Royal Highness the Princess show such joy either!"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, if you don't mind, could you share with us what's making you so happy?"

Dai Yun'er didn't hide her feelings, and said with joy, "Father has agreed to let me attend Shrek Academy as an exchange student!"

Long Yue furrowed his brows. "Shrek Academy? Princess, what are you planning to do there?"

Dai Yun'er blinked her beautiful eyes. "Big Brother Long, you can just call me Yun'er. All this 'Her Royal Highness' stuff is too formal!"

Long Yue paused, a tad apologetically, "Right, calling you that does feel quite formal. So, Yun'er, what are your plans at Shrek Academy?"

He paused, then guessed, "Could it be to meet that Elder Xu of the Sea God Pavilion?"

This remark seemed to hit right on point with Dai Yun'er's intentions, making her face flush red. "Of... of course not, I just want... want to see how the students at Shrek Academy engage in their cultivation!"

The corners of Long Yue's mouth twitched as he thought to himself, "This Yun'er, doesn't even know how to conceal her expression when lying..."

It seemed that Elder Xu held a significant place in Yun'er's heart!

Dai Yun'er then set her watery eyes on Long Yue. "Oh right, Big Brother Long, could I ask a favor of you?"

Long Yue, puzzled, asked, "What is it?"

Dai Yun'er looked at him earnestly. "I want you to accompany me to Shrek Academy!"

Long Yue hesitated, then asked in response, "What about the Crown Prince? Isn't he going with you?"

Dai Yun'er shook her head. "My brother has business to take care of in the imperial palace! So... it's only you, Big Brother Long!"

Long Yue coughed, trying to explain, "Yun'er, I've been recently..."

Dai Yun'er pretended to be on the brink of tears, pleading, "Big Brother Long, can you bear to let me go to Shrek Academy all by myself?"

Long Yue opened his mouth but couldn't find the words to refuse. He finally sighed, "Alright, but we must return early. We can't stay for too long."

Dai Yun'er was quick to respond, "Thank you, Big Brother Long!"

Although he appeared rough and seemed like a tough person to deal with, only those who truly knew him were aware of how sensitive he really was...

...

In the Spirit Pagoda, there was Leng Yaozhu spreading out all fours and collapsing into a chair, lamenting, "I'm so tired. Every day there are big and small matters to handle in the Spirit Pagoda, sigh!"

Back when she was the Vice Tower Master, she could manage her time freely!

But now, she was almost bound to the Spirit Pagoda every day, and if anything happened, she needed to deal with it immediately!

She couldn't even find time to cultivate!

Beside her, Qiangu Qingfeng lightly laughed, "This is something all qualified Pagoda Masters go through!"

Leng Yaozhu wore a look of skepticism. "Is that so? But if I have to personally tend to every single thing! I'm bound to collapse sooner or later. Perhaps, I should find a way to alleviate this somehow!"

She truly couldn't muster any interest in the tedious affairs of the Spirit Pagoda!

Qiangu Qingfeng seemed to catch the subtext and squinted his eyes, "Pagoda Master, are you suggesting..."

A gleam passed through Leng Yaozhu's phoenix eyes, "Vice Tower Master, what do you think about me finding someone to take care of these things for me?"

Qiangu Qingfeng's face darkened at once, "..."

I couldn't believe it—I wasn't even a qualified Pagoda Master yet, and I was already starting to look for a successor!

Sensing her agitation, Leng Yaozhu offered a somewhat guilty explanation, "Vice Tower Master, don't get worked up. I was just venting a little!"

Judging by the other's attitude, it was clear there wouldn't be any agreement!

...

And so, several months flew by...

Tang Wulin and the others had also achieved a certain improvement in their overall strength!

Of course, Wu Siduo, fearing a repetition of past events, deliberately slowed down her cultivation pace, so her soul power rank was not much higher than Gu Yue and the others!

At this moment, they were standing in the plaza of Shrek Academy, looking toward the teaching building in front...

Xie Xie said with a full face of emotion, "The day for the start of school has finally arrived. This should be our last time entering the Outer Court's teaching building, right?"

Xu Xiaoyan teased, "Get real, if you don't perform well after entering the Inner Court, you can still get kicked out! Of course, the chances are slim!"

Tang Wulin laughed lightly, "It's just entering the Inner Court. Why make it sound so sentimental..."

Wu Siduo nodded, "Yeah, no matter where we go, we are all students of Shrek Academy!"

Xie Xie's eyes danced as he turned to look at Dai Yun'er and Long Yue, who had not joined the conversation, and raised an eyebrow, "Speaking of which... Long Yue, why haven't you left Shrek Academy yet? I remember you've been here for two months, right?"

Long Yue glanced at him, "What's it to you?"

Although still somewhat displeased, the initial hostility was gone...

Dai Yun'er then spoke up to explain, "Father recently contacted me and said the current situation in the Xingluo Empire isn't looking good. So, he's communicated with the academy to extend our return indefinitely!"

Hearing this, Xie Xie widened his eyes in shock, "Wait... indefinitely? Doesn't that mean you'll be staying with us for quite a long time?"

Dai Yun'er blinked her beautiful eyes, "That's right! How does it feel? Aren't you happy?"

Xie Xie's mouth twitched as he said through gritted teeth, "Happy... ha ha."

He couldn't wait for them to leave; how could he be happy!

Seeing Xie Xie wear his feelings on his face, Dai Yun'er's smile turned devilish as she added, "Since you're so happy, I'll tell you something else. Big Brother Long and I have already been recognized by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!"

"So, before we leave Shrek Academy, we will be interacting with you all as inner court students!"

Long Yue nodded in affirmation, "That's right!!"

At these words, everyone, including Xie Xie, exclaimed in unison, "What??"

If they'd barely accepted the previous situation, this revelation was like a depth charge exploding, shattering all their preconceptions...

Ye Xinglan furrowed her brows, "That can't be possible. Exchange students in the past could only stay in the Outer Court. Why could Dai Yun'er and Long Yue qualify as Inner Court students?"

Gu Yue shook her head, "Don't know. But with their abilities, they do qualify for the Inner Court."

That meant they were not disgracing the status of an Inner Court student.

Xu Xiaoyan sighed, "Well, if the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion said so, they must have their reasons. Let's not overthink it!"

Tang Wulin interrupted their discussion, "Alright, it's time to head to the classroom. The other students should have arrived by now!"
