439 – Nana And Shrek Academy
An Peijiu looked at Nana. “Are we going to our encampment or…?”
Lan Xuanyu continued, “Teacher Nana, we applied for a room at the academy’s guesthouse and booked it for you.”
An Peijiu turned around and looked at him. “Shrek Hotel?”
Lan Xuanyu nodded.
An Peijiu smiled. “Shrek is a holy land in the hearts of all soul masters. It’s a rare opportunity to be able to live there. I wonder if we can arrange another room for me to experience it.”
Lan Xuanyu replied, “I think so. But I have to ask, there are many students’ parents coming over recently, I wonder if there are still some rooms left.”
Nana glanced at An Peijiu and said indifferently, “Let’s go to Shrek Academy.”
An Peijiu looked at her calm eyes and nodded. “Alright, let’s go to Shrek Academy.”
The Silver-Winged Angel started up. The car was stable and quiet, as though it was gliding quietly as it drove on the highway in Shrek City.
Lan Xuanyu said, “Dad, Mom, Teacher Nana, and Aunty An, Qianqiu and I have booked a meal at the school’s guesthouse. We will be able to go and eat when we arrive later. We will bring all of you to our dormitory in the afternoon to take a look. The dormitory is very good.”
“Sure!” Nan Cheng laughed. “I’ve long heard that Shrek Academy is the number one academy in the Federation. I really want to take a look. The air here is so good, it felt really different when we got off the spacecraft. The Mother Planet is indeed the Mother Planet!”
Lan Xuanyu said, “That’s right! The life energy on the Mother Planet is especially abundant, especially in our Shrek Academy. With the Eternal Tree and the Sea God Lake, the life energy here is so dense that it’s almost tangible. Living and cultivating here yields twice the results for half the effort.”
Nana looked out of the window and was slightly absent-minded. She was at a loss as she felt that she was very familiar with this place. At the very least, she should be very familiar with it. Back then, she was discovered on the Mother Planet, so she had a sense of familiarity with this place. Unknowingly, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to the name Shrek Academy.
Of course, An Peijiu wasn’t her friend. She was an escort arranged by the government for her and she had never seen this person before she boarded the spacecraft.
She had requested to come to Shrek Academy to see her own disciple. Ever since she was monitored, she had been living a very peaceful life and never had any problems. After the official discussion, they decided to agree to her request. After all, humans were social creatures and needed to integrate into society and have social relationships. It was beneficial to her mental health. Furthermore, Nana’s request was not excessive. Ever since she woke up, she had mainly come into contact with Lan Xuanyu’s family and the students she taught in the academy.
Hence, the government sent An Peijiu to accompany her. It was mainly because after Nana revealed her outstanding abilities, the previous one was a bit unable to keep up.
The Silver-Winged Angel drove steadily to the entrance of Shrek Academy. After Lan Xuanyu showed his student ID and registered his family members, they were allowed to enter Shrek Academy. However, they were allowed to enter only by foot. All non-academic vehicles were not allowed to enter Shrek Academy. This was the rule.
Shrek’s guesthouse was not far from the entrance and they arrived in a few minutes.
Lan Xuanyu went to arrange a place for An Peijiu. Since she was Teacher Nana’s friend, he would naturally do his best. There were still empty rooms and every student could apply for two rooms under normal circumstances. The prerequisite was that they had a valid reason and applied only once a month.
Lan Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu could apply for four rooms in total. At this moment, counting in An Peijiu they needed only three rooms, which was enough.
After settling the check-in procedures, Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao’an paid their respects and Lan Xuanyu brought them to the restaurant. Nana and An Peijiu were led by Dong Qianqiu and everyone gathered at the restaurant.
The food they ate was naturally the best in Shrek’s guesthouse. Lan Xuanyu was not short of money at the moment and Shrek’s food itself was not expensive.
As An Peijiu ate, she could not help but praise from the bottom of her heart, “As expected of Shrek! The life energy here is truly too rich. My biggest regret in life was not getting into Shrek Academy back then.”
Lan Xuanyu was surprised. “Aunty An, are you a soul master too?” He didn’t sense any soul power fluctuation from An Peijiu.
An Peijiu smiled and nodded. “That’s right! Aren’t your parents soul masters as well? I really envy you guys! Being able to get into Shrek, your future is limitless. How did your final exam go?”
Lan Xuanyu smiled. “Not bad.”
Dong Qianqiu: “He is first.”
An Peijiu was stunned for a moment and the way she looked at Lan Xuanyu changed. What kind of place was Shrek Academy? It was absolutely a gathering of geniuses. To be able to get first place in Shrek Academy, even in the Outer Court, was definitely outstanding, a genius among geniuses. This was truly having boundless prospects.
“First place? Son, you’re amazing.” Nan Cheng was overjoyed and gave Lan Xuanyu a thumbs up. “Mom wants to reward you.”
Lan Xuanyu laughed. “What are you rewarding me with? It’s actually our team getting first place, not just me.”
Nan Cheng cupped her son’s face and planted a kiss on his cheek. “I’ll reward you with a mother’s kiss.”
Lan Xuanyu looked helpless. “So even this is considered a reward! I’ll reward you too.” With that said, he planted a kiss on Nan Cheng’s face.
Then, he raised his hand and with a flash of light, he took out a glass bottle from the storage bracelet on his wrist.
After returning from the final exam, Yuanen Huihui had given him the bracelet so that he could easily carry all sorts of rare metals to forge.
“This is water from the Sea God Lake. I exchanged it for some Shrek emblems. Dad, Mom, Teacher Nana, Aunty An, try it. It can replenish life energy and at least delay aging.”
“Can you really drink lake water? Isn’t it not hygienic?” Nan Cheng looked at the glass bottle doubtfully.
An Peijiu, on the other hand, had a look of surprise on her face. “I heard that Sea God Lake is quite expensive, but this is the first time I’ve seen it. Miss Nan, this isn’t a matter of hygiene, only Shrek Academy can obtain it. If this was placed outside, such a small bottle would probably fetch an astronomical price. Xuanyu is right, it could easily extend one’s lifespan and is also beneficial for cultivation.”
“Let me try.” Nan Cheng smiled as she opened the bottle and took a sip.
A faint sweetness entered her mouth and a refreshing feeling filled her heart. It immediately gave her a sense of comfort and relaxation after the fatigue from her journey. She couldn’t help but reveal a surprised expression. “It’s really special!”
The others drank as well. An Peijiu remained calm while Nana was in a daze. Ever since she came here, she had been in a daze.
After the meal, Nana didn’t say much, and Lan Xuanyu only thought that she was a little tired when he saw her in a daze.
“Dad, Mom, Teacher Nana, do you guys want to rest first?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
Nan Cheng laughed. “After drinking your Sea God Lake, I don’t feel tired at all. Let’s go to your dorm and see where my son lives.”
Lan Xuanyu looked at Nana. “Teacher Nana, what about you?”
Nana said, “I’m not tired, let’s go together.”
“Alright.”
After leaving the guesthouse, they naturally had to walk. Shrek Academy was a world filled with life energy and greenery. As the Outer Court was already on vacation, the interior of the academy was even more serene. As they strolled along the small roads on campus, they felt the thick life energy coming from Sea God Lake. Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng both felt comfortable.
An Peijiu sighed from time to time. Shrek Academy was truly a place to look forward to! Back then, she was really just short of getting in. She wasn’t exaggerating; this was indeed the biggest regret in her life.
