Chapter 152: Casual Talk Between Master and Disciple!

"Can you tell me about this Xuelin?"

Hearing this, Jing Xiaoyu's handsome face revealed a curious expression as he asked. At the same time, he grabbed Gu Yue's delicate hand and, with a sudden pull, dragged the unprepared girl to his side. The girl instantly became obedient.

"Yue'er, go bring Xiaoyu's chair over." Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes glanced at the two sitting close together. A trace of irritation flashed in her heart—showing affection in front of me? Too much! So, she issued a command.

"Oh." Gu Yue responded reluctantly, pouting slightly as she stood up, clearly unwilling, but she still left to fetch the chair.

"Teacher, there's no need for that. Yue'er and I are fine sitting together." Jing Xiaoyu held Gu Yue's hand tighter and grinned at Leng Yaozhu.

"No way!" Leng Yaozhu's gaze sharpened, and she said unhappily, "Seeing you two sit together annoys me. Sit separately!"

Jing Xiaoyu and Gu Yue exchanged helpless glances before Jing Xiaoyu quipped, "Teacher, are you jealous?"

"Of course! I can't stand people showing affection in front of me. What, you have a problem with that?" Leng Yaozhu was direct and unyielding, openly admitting it while sounding imperious.

Seeing their teacher's firm stance, Jing Xiaoyu and Gu Yue could only comply. Gu Yue quickly brought back Jing Xiaoyu's lounge chair.

Leng Yaozhu placed the chair beside her other side and patted it meaningfully. Jing Xiaoyu, resigned, rolled his eyes and obediently moved to sit there.

Satisfied, Leng Yaozhu smiled and said, "Ah, this feels so much better now."

Jing Xiaoyu and Gu Yue both looked speechless but said nothing.

"Teacher, now can you tell me about Master Xuelin?" Jing Xiaoyu asked, brushing off the previous episode. His expression was back to curiosity and thoughtfulness.

"Sure," Leng Yaozhu nodded. "As you heard, Master Xuelin is indeed one of the greatest mecha designers in the current Douluo Mecha World, as well as the most senior figure. He and my teacher are of the same generation—he's likely over 400 years old now."

"There really is such a figure?" Jing Xiaoyu clicked his tongue in amazement. Beside him, Gu Yue also wore a similarly shocked expression. Since she had begun learning mecha design from Leng Yaozhu, she had developed an understanding of the field. Hearing about such a legendary figure naturally intrigued her.

"Of course." Leng Yaozhu smiled faintly, a rare look of respect crossing her face. "To put it simply, even my four-word battle armor once benefited from Master Xuelin's guidance and refinements. Although he belongs to Shrek Academy, his generosity knows no bounds. There are countless soul masters across the continent who have received his help—from Mingdu to Shrek City and even Star Luo City.

"In addition, Master Xuelin has mentored many younger generations in the mecha world. Today, in every major city's Mecha Association, you'll find his students or disciples. To say he has 'taught countless students' is no exaggeration."

"Oh." Jing Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully. From what his teacher said, this Master Xuelin appeared to be a highly respected figure who generously mentored the younger generation.

"Xiaoyu, why did you suddenly bring up Master Xuelin?" Leng Yaozhu suddenly realized the key point, her gaze shifting to Jing Xiaoyu in inquiry.

"I just came from the Mecha Association. Grandma Yu asked me to visit Master Xuelin when I get to Shrek Academy, and she gave me a letter for him," Jing Xiaoyu explained honestly. He then took the envelope Yu Qian had given him from his Tianfeng Ring and handed it to Leng Yaozhu.

However, Leng Yaozhu waved it away dismissively and said coldly, "Hmph, I don't have the habit of snooping on others' letters. Keep it."

"Oh, okay." Jing Xiaoyu scratched his head awkwardly before tucking the letter back into his ring. He then asked with a smile, "Teacher, should I really go visit Master Xuelin?"

"Of course, why not?" Leng Yaozhu's expression turned strange, as if the question was absurd. "This kind of opportunity doesn't come to just anyone. If you can establish a relationship with Master Xuelin, then at Shrek Academy, you won't say you can 'walk sideways,' but at the very least, you'll have nothing to fear.

"Master Xuelin holds significant seniority in the current Sea God Pavilion. Even the previous Pavilion Master had to address him as 'Martial Uncle.' That said, his cultivation isn't particularly outstanding—barely at the peak of Rank 98. But as far as shielding you goes, it's more than enough.

"That way, if I'm not around, no one can bully you."

"Uh… hahaha!" Jing Xiaoyu let out an awkward laugh. Rank 98 isn't outstanding? Teacher, you're a little too overbearing! He replied, "Teacher, you really think ahead."

"Of course!" Leng Yaozhu smiled smugly. "Some people at Shrek Academy are notoriously unreasonable. As a Vice-Tower Master of Spirit Pagoda, it's not always convenient for me to intervene directly there. So, you need someone within Shrek Academy to support you. Of course, if you can attract the attention of Yali or Yun Ming, that'll solve everything."

"Haha, I'll do my best!" Jing Xiaoyu laughed as he noticed the smile on Leng Yaozhu's face growing uncontrollably wider.

Gu Yue, watching the two exchanging cryptic remarks, was left thoroughly confused. She felt like the pair was scheming something.

"Where's your mecha? Summon it and let me take a look." Leng Yaozhu suddenly suggested.

"Sure." Jing Xiaoyu nodded but glanced at their surroundings on the balcony before suggesting, "We should probably find a more open area."

"Let's head to the courtyard, then."

The three of them moved to the courtyard, where Jing Xiaoyu summoned his Zero God Supercar from the Zero Ring. The sleek and futuristic car landed with a soft thud, causing a faint tremor.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Leng Yaozhu immediately stepped forward, reaching out to touch the car's smooth exterior. Her face lit up with delight. Clearly, the Zero God Supercar's design aligned perfectly with her tastes. She remarked, "So, this is your transforming mecha? Not bad. Not bad at all!"

"Of course!" Jing Xiaoyu smiled proudly. "Teacher, would you like to give it a try?"

"Test drive?" Leng Yaozhu's eyes gleamed with excitement. She glanced between the car and Jing Xiaoyu before breaking into a smile. "Why not? Yue'er, hop in! Teacher will take you for a spin."

"Me?" Gu Yue blinked, looking surprised before glancing at Jing Xiaoyu. Then, her face lit up in joy as she said, "Alright!"

Jing Xiaoyu had no objections. After initializing the Zero God Supercar, Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue climbed inside.

Leng Yaozhu quickly familiarized herself with the controls, rolling down the window to call out to Jing Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, go back to the balcony and relax. We'll be right back."

The moment she finished speaking, the Zero God Supercar shot forward like a black lightning bolt, leaping over the villa's railing and onto the road in mere seconds.

"…Wow," Jing Xiaoyu muttered, raising a thumb in silent admiration. Teacher, you really are something. Only an Extreme Douluo would use soul power to lift a car and vault over obstacles like that!

Shaking his head with a sigh, Jing Xiaoyu returned to the balcony to rest. He wasn't worried about Leng Yaozhu or Gu Yue—or even the Zero God Mecha itself. Its car form was indistinguishable from an ordinary vehicle, and its mecha verification systems wouldn't activate in this state.

About half an hour later, Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue returned.

Leng Yaozhu was clearly impressed with the car, even expressing a desire to build her own transforming mecha. Jing Xiaoyu could only smile wryly. Truly, the rich are always so willful.

Afterward, he transformed the Zero God Supercar back into its mecha form. Leng Yaozhu thoroughly inspected it, praising the design and showing great interest in the transformation technology.

Jing Xiaoyu openly shared the details of his transformation system, knowing that keeping it secret wasn't worth it. By doing so, he could also prove its value to Leng Yaozhu.

After he explained, Leng Yaozhu's eyes shone with excitement as she praised, "Xiaoyu, you're a true genius! This design is ingenious! How did you come up with it?"

Jing Xiaoyu chuckled lightly. "It was just a flash of inspiration."

Leng Yaozhu didn't question him. Many groundbreaking innovations were born from such sudden ideas. "Transformation technology like this has immense value. Although it's only been realized on purple-grade mecha

s so far, I believe it won't be long before it can be applied to black-grade mechas as well."
