Killed Someone, So I Can't Visit Their Home?
Douluo I era.
Flender and the other Shrek teachers looked at the Sky Screen with complicated expressions.
From the sound of it, Cai Yue'er was one of their Shrek people in the future. Had Su Tianxuan really tortured her to death just like that?
A long silence followed.
Then Zhao Wuji suddenly asked:
"If... we went to the future, should we avenge her?"
"Don't!" "Calm down!"
Flender and the others shouted in haste.
If something happened to one of their own, they might be willing to risk their lives, but for a descendant twenty thousand years in the future? Better forget it.
They had to trust in the wisdom of future generations.
"Our Shrek people will teach him a lesson."
Yu Xiaogang spoke with absolute conviction.
With the theories of a teacher of gods like him, the Shrek of the future was bound to stand at the pinnacle of the world!
Ning Rongrong curled her lip. "Even that Holy Mother wouldn't dare say that. So shut up, you good-for-nothing Grandmaster."
"You!"
Douluo II era.
Bei Bei frowned at the Sky Screen, somewhat displeased that the people of the Tang Sect weren't doing everything they could to stop Su Tianxuan. She was one of their Shrek people!
"Xiao Ya, these future disciples are completely out of line!"
Tang Ya watched the Sky Screen in silence, without saying a word.
That left Bei Bei feeling quite awkward.
Inside the Sky Screen.
Su Tianxuan took Qian Renxue and Ye Guyi on a tour of places like the Parliament Building and the Federation Court, then left Mingdu.
Those places were all Federation political institutions, with nothing much connected to the past, so the two Angels showed little interest.
As for the rest of Mingdu, the places were either military bases or commercial districts, and they were all much the same. There was no need to visit every one.
So, after asking Ye Guyi, Su Tianxuan piloted the mecha and took them out of Mingdu.
"Your Eminence, where are we going next?"
Qian Renxue asked curiously.
"Let's go to Shrek."
Su Tianxuan glanced at Ye Guyi.
Ye Guyi was momentarily startled. Only then did she remember that, when she first arrived, she had indeed said she wanted to visit Shrek Academy.
She hesitated, then said somewhat awkwardly:
"Your Eminence, perhaps we shouldn't go to Shrek after all."
Qian Renxue had a grudge against Shrek, and more importantly, Su Tianxuan had just offended the people of Shrek. Going there would probably put him in a difficult position.
"It's all right. We have to go there along the way anyway. I think Spirit City was in that area back then too."
Su Tianxuan opened the map.
Ever since the Sun Moon Continent had collided with it over ten thousand years ago, the geography of the Douluo Continent had changed drastically.
A place like Spirit City, which had disappeared twenty thousand years ago, had long since vanished without a trace.
The ruins now said to be near Shrek were merely the wild guesses of a few historians based on ancient records.
And while they were on their way, a fierce argument was raging at the Sea God's Pavilion.
Yun Ming looked grimly at the other elders and said in a subdued voice:
"Why did you let Cai Yue'er leave the academy? Didn't I say she wasn't allowed to take revenge on Su Tianxuan?!"
The elders looked at one another before their gazes finally settled on Long Yeyue.
Long Yeyue's expression stiffened, and she put on a fierce front as she said:
"Our students died. If none of us seek justice for them, can we still call ourselves Shrek people?!"
She was the one who had given Cai Yue'er permission to leave. With Yun Ming absent, no one had dared oppose her.
She had thought it would be like when she had gone and slapped the former Spirit Pagoda master: at worst, they would have to pay compensation, apologize, and accept confinement. She hadn't expected Su Tianxuan to hold them in such little regard that he would kill her outright.
"Sister Yue, I already said not to get into any more conflicts with Su Tianxuan!"
Yun Ming raised his voice slightly.
Now that he had a sliver of hope of becoming a god, he had no wish to make an enemy of Su Tianxuan.
Shrek's elders were important, but more important still was gaining another god who belonged to Shrek!
Long Yeyue, who had yet to reach the Quasi-God level, wanted to say something more, but Yun Ming summoned the Atlas Spear and drove it heavily into the ground:
"Listen carefully, all of you. Bury this matter in your hearts. No one is to mention it again, and no one is to seek revenge!"
The others were somewhat displeased, but they didn't dare disobey the pavilion master's order. One after another, they nodded their assent.
Just then, a message suddenly appeared on Yun Ming's Soul Guidance Communicator.
It was from Su Tianxuan.
He was bringing people to Shrek City.
Yun Ming took a deep breath.
He suddenly felt like resigning and being done with it.
Su Tianxuan's mecha was a Red Mecha, and to suit his own style, he had deliberately made it a speed-type mecha.
Before long, they arrived at Shrek City.
After landing in a deserted clearing, Su Tianxuan was the first to step out of the mecha.
Qian Renxue and Ye Guyi followed close behind, their golden hair tousled by the breeze and their faces still flushed with excitement.
It was their first time riding in a mecha, and it was far more comfortable than riding in a car.
"Oh, our host has come to welcome us."
Su Tianxuan had just been about to say something to them when he noticed Yun Ming approaching with a group of people.
He swept a glance over them. Long Yeyue wasn't there; most likely Yun Ming had held her back.
Just as well. It would save them from coming to blows.
"Su Tianxuan, what brings you here?"
Yun Ming asked.
Su Tianxuan pointed at Qian Renxue and Ye Guyi. "I brought them to look around."
Yun Ming was slightly taken aback.
He had just killed one of their people, and now he had come saying he wanted to visit? Wasn't that a bit too outrageous?
And he had brought people with him? Was he that confident?
Yun Ming had only just returned from the sea and didn't yet know that Su Tianxuan had two strange Angels by his side.
"Nothing else?"
Yun Ming was somewhat surprised.
He had thought Su Tianxuan hadn't had his fill of fighting and had come to Shrek for another round of killing.
Su Tianxuan shrugged.
"Nothing else. Just don't provoke me. I don't like killing people either."
The corners of Zhuo Shi's and the others' mouths twitched behind Yun Ming.
A man who had killed people from every faction, both the black and white sides, until the ones who backed down were the ones who survived, claimed he didn't like killing. Who would believe that?
"Would you mind if we came along?"
Yun Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.
He knew full well that Su Tianxuan never did anything without a purpose. He certainly wasn't here just to look around. Since he wasn't here to kill, he had to be here for something else.
Su Tianxuan thought it over and agreed.
He was only here to visit, so he could do it openly. Besides, even if he refused, Yun Ming had eyes and ears all over the city. There was no hiding it from him.
"Let's go. We don't need to enter your academy. We're heading to the northeast of your city."
Yun Ming frowned deeply. For the moment, he had no idea what Su Tianxuan was trying to do.
He looked at Qian Renxue and Ye Guyi.
He guessed it had something to do with them.
So Yun Ming asked through voice transmission:
"Who are those two?"
Following the navigation as he led them forward, Su Tianxuan answered:
"I'll tell you the next time we fight."
He wasn't sure whether the system could let him become a god directly, so he had to pursue both options. He couldn't abandon his plan to reopen the Divine Realm either.
Quasi-Gods like Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie were naturally important assets and chess pieces.
Hearing that, Yun Ming was puzzled for a moment. Then something occurred to him, and his pupils contracted as his breathing quickened.
"Is it connected to becoming a god?"
Su Tianxuan nodded. Before he could say anything, he suddenly frowned and looked at Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue's gaze had gone unfocused, and she walked off in another direction, as though responding to some kind of calling.
