As the aged voice fell, all eyes around the long table instantly converged on Yun Ming's left side.
There sat an elderly woman dressed in very simple gray clothes. She was somewhat hunched over, her face was covered with deep wrinkles from the years, and her silver hair was sparse. At first glance, she looked no different from any other elderly person enjoying their twilight years in an ordinary street.
However, when she looked up, her eyes shone with an astonishing light!
It is not the clarity and agility of youth, but a profoundness tempered by the vicissitudes of life.
Being able to sit firmly beside Yun Ming, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, one's identity and strength are naturally extraordinary.
She is currently the most senior elder in the academy, and her strength is second only to Yun Ming.
Her name is Long Yeyue, and her title is Light and Darkness!
The incident of slapping Qian Gu Die Ting, the master of the Chuan Ling Pagoda, was done by her.
The almost disdainful look she gave to the Spirit Pagoda seemed perfectly natural in the Sea God Pavilion at that moment.
Sensing the focused gazes of the crowd, Long Yeyue's aged voice continued to ring out.
"Lingbing Douluo was originally from the academy, and the foundation he left behind is, in the end, closely related to Shrek Academy."
She paused briefly, a faint smile playing on her lips: "If this child named Huo Yuhao were willing to leave the Spirit Pagoda and join the orthodox sect, would Leng Yaozhu, a mere junior, dare to cause trouble at Shrek Academy?!"
These words, though spoken in a plain tone, exude an unparalleled air of dominance and confidence.
Upon hearing this, many of the elders who had some reservations suddenly had a glint in their eyes. It would be most reassuring to keep a genius like Huo Yuhao at Shrek Academy.
With Long Yeyue's support, Cai Yue'er was greatly encouraged and immediately said, "Elder Long is absolutely right! As long as Huo Yuhao himself agrees, who would dare to stop Shrek Academy from recruiting talents?"
Her words were filled with Shrek's usual pride and domineering attitude, as if she already considered that peerless genius as something she had already got her hands on.
"Elder Long."
Yun Ming's voice rang out, more somber and serious than before. He clearly did not agree with Long Yeyue's almost forceful logic.
However, just as he was about to continue, Long Yeyue turned her head, her insightful eyes meeting his gaze and silencing his unspoken words.
"Yun Ming, I am doing this for the future of the academy."
"That Huo Yuhao is too young."
"Given the talent he has shown, it's almost a certainty that he will reach the pinnacle of the continent in the future."
She leaned forward slightly, a deep worry appearing on her aged face.
"If such a person, destined to stand at the pinnacle of the era, ultimately becomes the master of the Spirit Pagoda."
"Will Shrek Academy then be relegated to a subordinate position to the Spirit Pagoda?"
Her voice suddenly rose, carrying an unavoidable question: "Can you bear to watch Shrek's millennia-old reputation and glory decline in your hands?"
These words are truly scathing!
Long Yeyue knew Yun Ming all too well. This number one person on the continent had devoted his entire life's work and all his beliefs to the legacy and foundation of Shrek Academy.
Protecting it and glorifying it has long transcended personal honor and disgrace, becoming the meaning of his existence.
She accurately grasped Yunming's deepest obsession and sense of responsibility.
Yun Ming fell silent.
Because he had seen Huo Yuhao with his own eyes, he knew better than anyone else that what Long Yeyue said was true.
Among the younger generation, Huo Yuhao should be number one, and no one can surpass him.
After a suffocating silence, Yun Ming let out an almost inaudible sigh.
That sigh contained the helplessness of having one's secrets exposed, the weighing of the future, and the many concerns of someone in a high position.
He finally raised his eyes, his gaze turning to Cai Yue'er, who had been waiting for a long time, his expression complex.
"You can handle this matter."
"However, it is essential to pay attention to the methods and approaches."
His gaze sharpened, fixing on Cai Yue'er: "Remember, if Huo Yuhao himself... disagrees."
"Let's drop this matter."
"No one should force others, let alone use their power to oppress them."
Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er immediately replied, "Rest assured, Pavilion Master! I will act with utmost care and will certainly not fail your trust!"
The meeting of the Sea God Pavilion came to an end, and the elders then left one after another.
Only two figures remain beside the long table, dappled light and shadow flowing silently over them.
Yun Ming remained silent for a long time before finally letting out another almost inaudible sigh.
A warm, soft hand reached out from the side and gently covered the back of his hand, which was resting on the armrest.
Yali spoke softly, her voice like a clear spring.
"Brother Ming, if you are truly unwilling, even if Elder Long insists, you may not be able to compromise."
Yun Ming took her hand in his own, and the warmth from her fingertips eased his tense mind.
He raised his other hand and rubbed his temples wearily.
"Elder Long is, after all, an elder." His voice was low, tinged with a hint of helplessness. "Moreover, if we don't let them try, many people's thoughts will likely remain unsettled, and complications may arise in the future."
Upon hearing this, Ya Li's lips curled into a slight smile: "Judging from your tone... it seems you don't really believe that Yue'er can bring Huo Yuhao back to the academy?"
Upon hearing this, Ya Li's lips curled into a slight smile: "Judging from your tone... it seems you don't really believe that Yue'er can bring Huo Yuhao back to the academy?"
Yun Ming did not answer directly, but turned his head slightly to look at the woman beside him.
After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm afraid it will be troublesome for you to make a trip to Tianhai as well."
"I'm worried that, given Cai Yue'er's personality, she might cause unnecessary trouble."
Without the slightest hesitation, Yali nodded gently, her smile warm yet firm: "Okay."
……
Another day has passed.
The uproar on the internet about Shrek's defeat has not subsided; on the contrary, it seems to be getting even more intense.
The lobby of Tianhai Hotel was brightly lit and bustling with people.
The boys from Class Zero had just returned from playing on the coastal road outside, still carrying the slightly salty scent of the sea breeze and the relaxed feeling of playing around.
However, this sense of ease froze the moment I stepped through the hotel's revolving door.
Facing them, several familiar figures walked in a group; they were the members of the Shrek team who had been defeated by them before.
The students in Class Zero instinctively stopped in their tracks.
Xie Xie tensed up almost immediately, lowering his voice: "They're blocking this spot... Could it be that they lost and are trying to cause trouble?"
Tang Wulin's gaze swept quickly across the faces of the people opposite him. He shook his head slightly: "It doesn't seem like it, and the teacher leading the team is still here."
Huo Yuhao had already activated his mental detection and warned, "Be careful, there's an even stronger aura lurking behind them... it's a Title Douluo."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people beside him instantly changed.
Almost at the same time Huo Yuhao spoke, a cold and stern figure stepped forward without hesitation, completely protecting the five students behind him.
Wu Changkong's gaze did not fall on Shen Yi or the Shrek Academy students in front of him, but passed directly through them and locked onto a certain place behind him.
His clear and steady voice resounded distinctly in the vast hotel lobby: "Your Majesty, Silver Moon!"
This greeting instantly broke the original noisy rhythm of the hotel lobby.
Many guests and staff members stopped in their tracks, casting curious or surprised glances in this direction.
Only the top titled Douluo on the continent can be called "Your Majesty"!
As soon as Wu Changkong finished speaking, a figure silently appeared three steps away from him.
The woman was dressed in an elegant silver dress, her hair was styled in a high bun, and she looked to be over fifty years old, but she was well-maintained.
It was none other than Cai Yue'er, the Silver Moon Douluo and Dean of the Outer Court of Shrek Academy.
She was expressionless, exuding an imposing aura without anger, as she sized up Wu Changkong before her.
A moment later, she let out a soft, ambiguous hum from her nose.
Wu Changkong's heart suddenly tightened.
Having come from Shrek Academy's inner court, he knew the temperament of the outer court dean very well.
Cai Yue'er is always decisive and efficient, and she has a strong desire for control. In order to achieve her goals, she sometimes uses ruthless and even merciless methods.
Using "bad" to describe it might be too subjective, but its tough style is well-known among the college's senior management.
Since Cai Yue'er was waiting for these people from Class Zero here, she naturally didn't mind being seen; in fact, she did it intentionally.
Suppressing his emotions, Wu Changkong spoke again, "Your Majesty Silver Moon has come in person; what brings you here?"
