Chapter 152: Princess, do you think I'm afraid of Shrek?

Chapter 152: Princess, do you think I'm afraid of Shrek?

The exquisitely decorated room was the most upscale in one of the top hotels in Star Luo City, so it naturally had a separate living room.

Xu Jiujiu followed Ling Shuang into the room, and after sitting on the sofa, her eyes involuntarily began to look around.

Ling Shuang saw what she wanted to see at a glance: "Princess, don't look. Nan Nan is not here; she is in the same room with Sister Xue'er."

Xu Jiujiu, whose thoughts had been revealed, retracted her gaze without embarrassment.

"Have some tea." Ling Shuang poured a cup of freshly brewed tea and placed it on the table in front of Xu Jiujiu, then poured himself a cup before sitting opposite her.

"I didn't expect that Master Ling had this skill," Xu Jiujiu exclaimed in surprise.

She thought that someone like Ling Shuang, who had such an unparalleled achievement in the field of soul masters, must be devoted to cultivation and would not waste time learning these meaningless things.

"Just a little understanding," Ling Shuang replied lightly.

This was just a hobby he developed during his time in the Far North.

Compared to those tea masters, it was definitely not comparable, but still acceptable.

Xu Jiujiu picked up the tea, took a sip, and her beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

"This tea…"

As a princess of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiujiu naturally knew about all kinds of tea.

But Ling Shuang's tea, she had never tasted before.

The taste was long, the aftertaste mellow, and it even made people feel a little cool!

Although she had never tasted this tea before, she was sure it must be top-grade!

"Bingjian Lanxiang, the specialty tea from my side. It is normal that Your Highness has not heard of it." Ling Shuang took a sip and smiled slightly.

This tea only grows in the core area of the Far North, known as the forbidden area for humans. Although Xu Jiujiu is a princess, it's normal she hadn't tasted it.

Perhaps the Titled Douluo can take the risk to bring some out, but it is really rare to take such a big risk on the Douluo Continent for a little tea.

And soul beasts can't taste it, let alone trade with humans, so it's priceless and unsalable.

Only Ling Shuang, a special example living in the core area of the Far North, can have it.

"Bingjian Lanxiang…" Xu Jiujiu whispered softly.

She felt the mystery of this Ling seemed to be increasing.

He casually brought out top-grade tea that she, the princess, had never heard of, and two top-grade masters she had never heard of before.

Ling Shuang, how many secrets do you have?

Xu Jiujiu's eyes shone, and her curiosity about Ling Shuang grew stronger.

She really wanted to peel off the mystery layer by layer and know everything about him!

But Xu Jiujiu was still Xu Jiujiu. Although curious, she remembered the real purpose of her visit.

"Master Ling, Jiujiu has something to ask you." Xu Jiujiu brought the topic back on track.

"Princess, please speak."

Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu asked: "I wonder why Shrek's Taotie Douluo fought with Her Majesty Xue next to Master Ling last night?"

Ling Shuang did not hide anything and told everything about yesterday.

Listening to Ling Shuang's story, Xu Jiujiu's expression changed from calm to ugly.

She originally thought that Xuan Zi would confront Lord Xue for some secret, but it turned out he was angry and used force because he wanted to poach people but failed?

Xu Jiujiu knew Shrek Academy was not as perfect as it seemed, but she didn't expect them to be so shameless!

During the competition, they came to other academies to poach people, and when they failed, they were ready to fight out of shame.

Even the Sun Moon Empire, always looked down upon by the three countries of the original Douluo Continent, wouldn't do such a shameless thing!

"The dignified Taotie Douluo actually bullied the weak and did such a shameless thing. It's really disgusting!"

The always gentle Xu Jiujiu rarely cursed.

This was understandable. After all, Ling Shuang was invited by her to join the Star Luo Royal Academy. Xuan Zi's move simply showed he did not take her and the Star Luo Royal Family seriously!

Ling Shuang chuckled at Xu Jiujiu's words: "That's not the case. Although Shrek Academy is not as perfect as it seems and is indeed disgusting, there are still some people who aren't so shameless."

"Even if Xuan Zi was placed in the entire Shrek Academy, his shamelessness would be unique."

Ling Shuang remained fair and did not kill with one stick.

Although many people became outrageous because of Shrek Academy's abstract teaching concept, there are still different kinds of people.

For example, the senior sister in the inner courtyard Ma Xiaotao, who was changed by him.

"Mr. Ling is right. Jiujiu is blind." Xu Jiujiu nodded.

"After all, the incident happened in Star Luo City. My brother has sent someone to inform Shrek Academy of Xuan Zi's death. Mr. Ling…"

Xu Jiujiu took the initiative to mention this matter.

Although this might cause Ling Shuang dissatisfaction with the Star Luo Royal Family, it was impossible to hide it.

It was better to explain proactively than to be discovered later.

After all, there were reasons for everything; maybe Ling Shuang could understand.

Ling Shuang really didn't care about this matter.

Hearing Xu Jiujiu's words, he nodded slightly: "It is understandable. After all, the incident happened in Star Luo City, and it's normal for the Star Luo Royal Family to do this."

With such a big commotion yesterday, it was definitely impossible to hide. A little investigation would reveal what happened.

Ling Shuang had never been afraid. This matter was originally caused by Xuan Zi's initiative. If someone from Shrek really came to cause trouble, Bing Di and Xue Di would "reason" with them.

He was not so hypocritical.

Seeing that Ling Shuang did not show anger because of this, Xu Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she did not agree with her brother Xu Jiawei's decision.

Compared with Shrek Academy, Xu Jiujiu valued Ling Shuang more.

She thought although Shrek Academy would definitely know about this matter, it should not be told by the Star Luo Royal Family.

It was just that Xu Jiawei had already sent someone to notify yesterday, and she couldn't stop it.

Originally, Xu Jiujiu had worried that Ling Shuang would be dissatisfied with the Star Luo Royal Family because of this. She had planned to give her brother Xu Jiawei's 100,000 gold soul coins as a consolation payment to Shrek to show the Star Luo Royal Family did not support that idea.

But she didn't expect Ling Shuang to not care at all.

This was good—no need to explain.

"Master Ling, aren't you worried Shrek's people will come to your door?"

Seeing Ling Shuang's indifferent expression, Xu Jiujiu was puzzled.

"What does the princess think?" he asked instead of answering.

Xu Jiujiu suddenly realized how stupid her question was.

Even Xuan Zi died at Lord Xue's hands; it would be strange to worry about Shrek coming to his door!

A polite but embarrassed smile appeared on her pretty face.

"Jiujiu is stupid."
