Chapter 91 of the First Person
Bang! Bang! Bang! Under He Yushu's suppression, the two of them bounced Cai Yue'er back and forth in the air like a ball.
The commotion caused by the three of them naturally couldn't be kept secret from others. The group of elders, curious once again, flew into the sky to investigate.
Seeing this, Cai Yue'er thought she was saved and reached out to the other elders for help. But apart from Ya Li, who looked on with pity, the others pretended not to see her. Many of Shrek Academy's losses in the past two years had come from Long Yeyue, but they couldn't defeat her and couldn't complain.
This dissatisfaction could only be directed at Cai Yue'er. And the fact that she could anger He Yushu, known for his good temper in the Sea God Pavilion, and Zhuo Shi, who usually just lay low, to this extent, made it obvious that Cai Yue'er was up to her old tricks again.
"Old He, Old Zhuo, you two wait a bit before bringing them. Tell us what happened first! That way we can help you when the Pavilion Master holds the meeting!"
After watching the play for a while, an elder calmly began to advise He Yushu and Zhuoshi.
“Yes! Zhuoshi, you can fight him later. Tell us what happened. If it’s Cai Yue’er’s fault, I’ll help you deal with him.” An elder who was on good terms with Zhuoshi quickly stepped forward and pulled Zhuoshi back from kicking him more and more vigorously.
After glancing at Cai Yue'er, who was already on the verge of death, He Yushu stopped suppressing her. Having been relentlessly beaten by the two men, Cai Yue'er had long since become a disheveled, dust-covered beggar.
Seeing this, Ya Li quickly stepped forward to treat her. He Yushu also took this opportunity to recount the whole story.
"Wow! She really dares to think and act!" Old Li, who had been in charge of Qian Gu Chen Ran's entrance examination, had a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He didn't understand where Cai Yue'er got the nerve to take him as a disciple.
After hearing the whole story, all the elders except Ya Li had the same thought: They deserved it! Good riddance! Why didn't they beat that bitch Cai Yue'er to death?
Shrek Academy is already chaotic enough, and this crazy woman is just adding to the chaos. If we don't beat her up, who should we beat up?
"I just don't understand! A few years ago, she led a group of students supposedly to fight against evil spirit masters. But because of her mistake, all those students died. Has she forgotten all about that? And she's still thinking about taking on disciples! She's dreaming!"
The other elders looked at Cai Yue'er with disgust. Why didn't she just stay on Seagod Island? Why did she have to go out and cause trouble?
"Yun Ming isn't at the Sea God Pavilion right now, so what should we do with Cai Yue'er, this troublemaker? Should we put her in solitary confinement?" An elder looked at Cai Yue'er, who was turning her head away from them, with annoyance in his eyes.
They made a mistake and then gave them attitude.
Bang! He Yushu suddenly appeared behind Cai Yue'er, knocking her unconscious with a palm strike and blasting her off the Sea God Pavilion before calmly saying, "We'll deal with her after Yun Ming leaves the Blood God Legion. Let her be quiet for a while now, so she doesn't talk nonsense. What do you say, Elder Long?"
Elder Long! Long Yeyue! All the elders looked strangely in the direction He Yushu was facing. Long Yeyue, dressed in simple clothes, calmly stepped out of the space to face He Yushu.
"Give me some face, Yushu! After all, I've watched you grow up."
"Tsk! You think you can give me face? You traitor! Old Master Bei treated you so well, and you still cheated on him. Long Yeyue, I swear..."
An elder who had previously received favors from Elder Bei was shocked to see Long Yeyue dare to appear before them again. Ignoring the other elders' attempts to stop him, he pointed at Long Yeyue's nose and began to cursing her ancestors for eighteen generations.
The other elders didn't say anything, but they also showed their displeasure. How did these two troublemakers end up together again? Wouldn't it be better if they just stayed quietly on Poseidon Island?
After Yun Ming exposed her lingering feelings for Chen Xinjie years ago, the other elders' attitudes towards Long Yeyue immediately underwent a complete 180-degree turn.
They had always wondered why Long Yeyue insisted that they call her Sister Yue instead of Master's wife. After all, apart from Ya Li, all the elders present had received guidance from Elder Bei and calling her Master wouldn't be excessive.
It wasn't until her incident with Chen Xinjie that they understood. They realized that Long Yeyue hadn't forgotten Chen Xinjie at all, unlike them who called her "Master's Wife"—it was clearly a ploy to reunite with Chen Xinjie in the future.
Long Yeyue knew she was in the wrong, and for the past two years she had remained secluded in her wooden house. However, despite staying indoors, she still cared deeply about the academy's development. This time, Cai Yue'er's acceptance of a disciple was entirely her doing.
But her original intention was also for the good of the academy, to subtly influence the other members of the genius youth list, including Wu Siduo, through the teacher-student relationship. Once they matured, they would fully understand the spirit of Shrek Academy.
When they inherit the family, they will immediately bring the family to support Shrek's great cause.
But her brilliant plan was ruined by Cai Yue'er at the very first step.
"It seems that this time Cai Yue'er's trouble-making was your idea, Elder Long."
Upon hearing He Yushu's question, Long Yeyue nodded generously: "That's right! It was all my idea! But my original intention was also for the future of Shrek Academy. Think about it..."
Long Yeyue was talking incessantly about her plan, completely unaware of the distorted expressions on the faces of the elders, including Ya Li.
They were also curious about Cai Yue'er's incredibly illogical thought process. But today they finally got the answer. After all that, it all came from you, Long Yeyue!
Hearing her plan, which was even more sophisticated than Cai Yue'er's, everyone, including He Yushu, was filled with shock. Not only Cai Yue'er, but Long Yeyue also needed to be involved.
A hint of difficulty flashed in He Yushu's eyes. Long Yeyue was not a weakling like Cai Yue'er who could be easily bullied. Although she couldn't beat him, he couldn't defeat her in a short time either.
"Yushu, why aren't you saying anything! Don't you agree with my idea?" Long Yeyue looked at He Yushu with dissatisfaction. Although she and Chen Xinjie still had a "little bit" of lingering feelings.
But has she ever wronged Lao Bei? Shouldn't He Yushu be the most supportive of him?
"If we follow your idea, Shrek Academy will be doomed. How could Uncle Bay have ever taken a liking to someone like you?" He Yushu sneered mockingly.
"How dare you insult me, you brat!" Long Yeyue's face flushed red as she glared angrily at He Yushu. How dare He Yushu humiliate her like this, after all, he was her elder?
Just as Long Yeyue's roar echoed through the sky, an old man suddenly appeared out of thin air behind her. Bang! He struck Long Yeyue hard on the back of the head with his cane.
Long Yeyue immediately followed in Cai Yue'er's footsteps, sinking into the Sea God Lake together.
"I've only been asleep for a while, how come Shrek Academy is in such a mess?" Old Jin stroked his beard, looked at the group of people bowing to him, and shook his head.
They still didn't go all out! Otherwise, He could have shown favoritism. Several golden tree roots, as thick as water vats, grew out of the space, reaching deep into the bottom of the Sea God Lake to retrieve Cai Yue'er and Long Yeyue, the twin moon couple, and wrapped them up like two large rice dumplings.
"You can open it again after Yunming returns. In the meantime, let them stay inside quietly, so they don't cause trouble everywhere."
Chapter 174 The Tang Clan's Little Intentions
After speaking, Elder Jin's figure transformed into countless golden specks of light and vanished into the world, leaving only two large golden rice dumplings for the elders of the Sea God Pavilion.
The elders looked at the two giant golden rice dumplings floating in mid-air with mixed feelings of amusement and exasperation, and Feng Wuyu even patted them on the shoulder.
"Wow! No wonder it's Jin Laobao's. It's really sturdy!"
He Yushu looked at the other elders: "Everyone! Let's put these two rice dumplings back in the Sea God Pavilion and deal with them when Yun Ming returns. After all, letting them float in the air like this is not good for the academy."
The other elders nodded in agreement with He Yushu's point of view. After all, it was rather bizarre to see two giant golden rice dumplings floating on Sea God Lake.
After placing the two rice dumplings in the Sea God Pavilion, all the elders went back to their own homes and went about their own business. None of them had any intention of helping Cai Yue'er and Long Yeyue untangle them.
Anyway, they won't die after being sealed by Jin Yong, so they might as well take this time to have some peace and quiet.
Back in his cabin
Zhuo Shi nodded to Shen Yi and Wu Changkong, who looked worried inside the wooden house. He then smiled at Tang Wulin and the other two, who were already starving, and said, "My dear grand-disciples, eat up! This is all specially prepared by your grandmaster to celebrate your joining Shrek Academy." As he spoke, he put a plate of braised dragon tendon on each of the three of them.
"Thank you, Grandmaster. I'll start eating now." After thanking him, Tang Wulin eagerly picked up the dragon tendon. The tender dragon tendon greatly stimulated Tang Wulin's appetite.
Seeing Tang Wulin happily eating, Zhuo Shi smiled and nodded. He then looked at his two disciples who hadn't touched their chopsticks and said irritably, "Get it for yourselves! Do you expect me to feed you?"
Urged on by Zhuoshi, the two finally began to eat. Looking at this harmonious scene, Zhuoshi was filled with a myriad of emotions. He had never had a wife or children, only his two disciples whom he treated like his own children. This scene was exactly what he had longed for.
"Come! Let's raise a glass to celebrate our three little geniuses joining Shrek Academy. I wish you all a speedy entry into the Inner Court."
Bang! A crisp collision sound rang out!
"Thank you, Master."
Meanwhile, in the distant Blood God Legion
Yun Ming looked awkwardly at Cao Dezhi, who was glaring at him, and Zhang Huanyun, who also looked puzzled.
"Yun Ming! Grand Pavilion Master Yun! Sky-Supporting Douluo! Can you please control that scourge of your Sea God Pavilion? What grudge do we Tang Sect have against you? Why is Shrek Academy torturing us like this?"
"Old Cao! Old Cao! This is really a misunderstanding. I didn't expect Chen Xinjie to pull this stunt. This time, the fault really lies with Shrek Academy."
Yun Ming explained to Cao Dezhi with a wry smile. He realized that Zang Xin was intentionally weakening the connection between the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Yun Ming immediately went to the Blood God Legion, intending to use Cao Dezhi as a roundabout way to achieve his goal.
After all, Cao Dezhi was originally from Shrek Academy and was the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils of his generation. His feelings for the academy are definitely deeper than those for Zang Xin, a pure-blooded Tang Sect member.
Given their long-standing friendship, Yun Ming believed that Cao Dezhi would certainly not want to see a rift appear in the relationship between the two forces.
Upon arriving at the Blood God Legion, Yun Ming discovered, to his dismay, that things were not as simple as he had imagined.
Zang Xin said something to Cao Dezhi, who was now quite resistant to Shrek Academy. No matter what he said, Cao Dezhi believed that Zang Xin's actions were correct.
Zhang Huanyun watched the lively scene with amusement, wondering how those Shrek Academy students had managed to infuriate the Tang Sect like this.
After venting his anger, Cao Dezhi sighed, "This time it really won't happen again, Yun Ming. Our Tang Clan really can't afford for Shrek Academy to keep acting like this."
The two major factions were helping and supporting each other. Now, Shrek has become addicted to stabbing them in the back.
"Yes! Old Cao, our Shrek Academy was in the wrong this time. I didn't expect Chen Xinjie to openly provoke our two major forces for Long Yeyue. Even if Guan Yue wanted to stop him, his prestige in the Temple of War is still not as high as Chen Xinjie's."
"Alright! Just compensate us for the losses our Tang Clan has suffered during this period, and that's it."
After Cao Dezhi finished speaking, he noticed that Yun Ming had been sitting there drinking tea for a long time without moving. Several dark lines appeared on his forehead.
"I already promised to talk to Zang Xin. Why are you still here?"
"Besides apologizing to you, Lao Cao, I also want to apologize to Commander Zhang this time."
Upon hearing that Yun Ming was going to apologize to him, Zhang Huanyun immediately frowned, wishing he could leave the meeting room as if he had never been there.
Was Yun Ming's apology so easily given? Although I don't know why he suddenly apologized to me, it certainly wasn't anything good.
"Yunming, why are you suddenly apologizing to Lao Zhang? What happened last time was all done by Long Yeyue alone. We both know how unreasonable she can be. Don't take it to heart."
"No! It was indeed Shrek Academy's fault that time. Please accept these resources as compensation, Commander Zhang."
.......................................
After some haggling among the three, Zhang Huanyun refused the compensation Yunming offered to the Blood God Legion, instead having Yunming give it to Cao Dezhi as compensation for the Tang Clan's losses during this period.
Although Yun Ming left with a smile on his face, Zhang Huanyun still caught a glimpse of helplessness in his eyes.
After receiving Ya Li's message, Yun Ming bid farewell to the two and hurriedly flew towards Shrek Academy. He'd only been gone a short while, and Cai Yue'er and Long Yeyue were already causing trouble again.
Watching Yun Ming's departing figure, Zhang Huanyun's lips curled into a cold smile: "A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—he's up to no good!"
Cao Dezhi looked curiously at Zhang Huanyun beside him: "What did Lao Zhang say?"
"Tsk tsk tsk! If I tell you this, don't sell me out later." Although Zhang Huanyun's words sounded like a joke, it was hard to tell how much he really wanted to know.
"Sigh! Old Zhang, after all these years, don't you still trust me? Besides, just now when you asked Yunming to compensate me with those resources, pretend I didn't see the hint of helplessness in his eyes."
Cao Dezhi gazed into the distance with a deep look in his eyes. Although the relationship between Tangmen and Shrek Academy was as close as brothers, Shrek Academy's recent actions were indeed disheartening.
Moreover, although Zang Xin's relationship with Shrek Academy was ostensibly weakened because the Tang Clan suffered huge losses due to being implicated by Shrek Academy.
However, apart from Cao Dezhi and Hu Jie, the other high-ranking members of the Tang Clan had no idea that Zang Xin had originally planned to gradually reduce the connection between the two forces.
Shrek Academy is a sacred place in the hearts of countless people, but the Tang Sect is no exception.
Although Zang Xin had a close relationship with Shrek Academy, it wasn't really that significant. He valued the Tang Sect more than Shrek Academy's interests.
If both major powers were to face a catastrophic disaster simultaneously, Zang Xin would definitely protect Shrek Academy. He led the Tang Clan to flee as quickly as possible, striving to minimize the risk of damage to the Tang Clan.
The two major forces are closely connected, truly intertwined. Many Shrek Academy students joined the Tang Sect while studying at Shrek Academy.
The Tang Clan's power is also growing, but what if the two major forces clash? Will these former Shrek Academy students, now members of the Tang Clan, help the Tang Clan or Shrek Academy?
