The Uproar
The Public Security Bureau, Chen Jianshu, and Wu Bingyu were giving statements here, since the surveillance footage showed that Cai Yue'er found the three of them first before taking action.
"Name."
"Chen Jianshu, 'Dust' as in dust, 'Sword' as in good sword, 'Pivot' as in 'unyielding pivot'."
"Gender."
The Public Security Officer was checking his information, but when he checked the gender section, his eye twitched. He seemed to always ask this question whenever he saw it in a TV series.
He glanced at the creature in front of him, which had three eyes and resembled a fox. It seemed to be Three-Eyed Demon Fox, a descendant of the Three-Eyed Demon Spirit Clan and the Fox Clan.
Generally, it is Mental Attribute Soul Beasts or Soul Masters who serve as interrogators. Mental Attribute are more likely to detect anything unusual, and some with powerful cultivation can even judge whether the other party is lying or read minds.
There are many lie detectors on the market, all made according to these principles.
Is it difficult to answer my question?
Seeing that he didn't answer, the Three-Eyed Demon Fox frowned and tapped the table with its finger. Only then did Chen Jianshu say Youyou:
"I am Na'er's dog."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire interrogation room fell silent. Everyone inside the interrogation room, as well as the interrogators in the next room, were silent.
"Be serious, this is just a statement being taken."
Although the Three-Eyed Demon Fox only has 20,000 years of cultivation, thanks to its precocious spiritual intelligence, it can already chat fluently using a translator. However, it still finds this situation somewhat difficult to handle.
Seeing this, Chen Jianshu also became serious, staring intently at the other party and nodding:
I'm very serious.
"... gender."
"Na'er's dog."
The Three-Eyed Demon Fox immediately covered its face. Seeing such a lunatic was truly a sin... Oh well, it's definitely time to show some compassion to disabled beings.
After that, they conducted a routine interrogation about the Tianhai Grand Competition. After the interrogation, Chen Jianshu left the police station and met up with Wu Bingyu.
The two returned to the hotel together, but the hotel had suffered a lot of damage due to the aftermath of the battle, so they had to go to a new hotel.
Xu Xiaoyan, Xie Xie, and the others went to the Spirit Pagoda to heal the ancestors, Spirit Pagoda has a special Soul Spirit medical pod.
"Elder brother!"
"Mother!"
Upon seeing him return, Na'er immediately rushed over. Gu Xuanyu also wanted to hug him, but Chen Jianshu stopped her with his hand.
"Stop! Get back to normal. By the way, Director Long, we probably can't compete with Tianhai Grand Competition now, right?"
He focused his gaze on Long Hengxu. He hadn't expected that something like this would happen if he used the Sea God Martial Soul to tease the Shrek students. He could only say that he had underestimated those crazy people.
"Hmm... I didn't expect this to happen either... The Soul Fighting Tournament of the Tianhai Grand Competition will definitely have to be canceled, but the secondary profession competition hasn't been canceled yet, and Wulin has already gone to participate."
Long Hengxu nodded slightly. However, considering that Eastsea Academy had defeated Shrek Academy, its reputation was certainly good enough. With some publicity, Eastsea Academy could attract another wave of high-quality students.
"Then I'll have my mecha-building competition!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Bingyu immediately took out her phone to check the schedule of the Mech Manufacturing sub-profession competition she had registered for, and breathed a sigh of relief; it had been postponed to tomorrow.
The group survived the disaster caused by the Shrek Academy, while on the other side, at the Shrek Sea God Pavilion, Yun Ming looked at the injured Long Yeyue receiving treatment, as well as Cai Yue'er and the information about the imprisonment of Shen Yi, a teacher from the outer academy.
Most critically, lawsuits from the Skysea Alliance, the Spirit Pagoda, the Federation, and the War God Temple have already been filed.
This incident has blown up a lot, and with a new round of admissions just five months away, it's likely to impact their recruitment efforts.
"Ha... after causing trouble, he just hides deep within the Golden Ancient Tree..."
In the end, Yun Ming laughed in anger. It was all Long Yeyue and Cai Yue'er's fault. Long Yeyue was currently receiving treatment from Elder Zhuang deep within the Golden Ancient Tree.
Elder Zhuang, a level 97 healing-type Super Douluo with the Martial Soul Tree of Life, finally understood Wu Kong's feelings. Having encountered such a troublesome thing Long Yeyue, he no longer wanted to stay in the Sea God Pavilion.
Damn it, why has Long Yeyue been acting so recklessly lately? She's causing trouble every single day! If she had just brought the person back, that would have been fine, but the problem is she didn't bring the person back, and she's caused a whole bunch of problems for me to deal with! She's even made the target develop a dislike for Shrek.
Thinking of all these troubling things, he slumped into his chair. He was truly at his wit's end. He couldn't win a fight, and Xiao Yi alone was enough to wear him down.
They only have five Limit Douluos on their side. Look at the other side, the Spirit Pagoda has three Limit Douluos on the human side and six Limit Douluos on the Soul Beast side.
The Federation has a total of Twelve Great Legions, and the commander of each legion is guaranteed to be Limit Douluo, with two from the War God Temple and two from the Mingde Hall.
Looking at it now, the difference in combat power is truly enormous. It's unclear how they can win, and these are just the publicly known Limit Douluos; who knows how many Limit Douluos are hidden behind the scenes! Shrek and Tang Sect really only have this many people left.
He slumped dejectedly in his chair. Ever since meeting Di Tian, he had realized that his chances of defeating Di Tian were less than 10%, and that was when he finally understood.
Faced with lawsuits from various powerful forces, he had no choice but to ask Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi of the Tang Sect for help. The Tang Sect, which sold weapons to the neighboring Dou Ling Continent, was naturally not short of money.
Soon, a towering figure, two meters tall, entered the Sea God Pavilion. The newcomer was none other than Gu Jin, one of the elders of the Shrek Academy and the Golden Bone Douluo.
"Master, you were looking for me?"
"Old Gu, you must have heard about the trouble Elder Long has gotten into. Elder Cai is currently imprisoned, and there are lawsuits from various powerful forces. I'll have to trouble you to make a trip there."
Seeing this, Gu Jin sighed and sat down in the chair next to him, pouring himself a cup of tea as if they were old friends:
"Master, I've really had enough of that old Long Yeyue! All she does is cause trouble all day long, and then we have to clean up her messes. It's so annoying!"
Gu Jin kept grumbling, and Yun Ming listened quietly. There was nothing he could do; he couldn't stand it either. But what could he do when the other was the most senior?
"Old Gu, now that Elder Long has been injured by the Snow Empress of the Far North, he'll probably be quiet for a while. After this turmoil passes, I'll get some good wine for us to drink together?"
"Alright, since the sect leader has said so, but if that old hag causes trouble again, I absolutely will not go there again."
Gu Jin downed the tea on the table in one gulp, then casually took a box of tea leaves without saying anything, watching the other person leave.
In a place as big as Shrek, there are bound to be a few truly eccentric characters, and Long Yeyue and Cai Yue'er are typical examples.
Mingdu
At the Federation Headquarters, the four-party meeting participants gathered.
First, there's the Federal Council representative, a member of parliament and commander of the Central Army Group, Yu Guanzhi, the Divine Brush Douluo, and the Grand Judge, Xiao Lai.
Next was the representative of the War God Temple, Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie; the representative of the Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu; accompanied by the Skysea City Spirit Pagoda Branch Pagoda Master with bandages wrapped around his face; and finally, the representative of Shrek Academy, Gu Jin.
"I think there's no need to discuss this matter any further. Shrek Academy started this trouble first, not only kidnapping someone in broad daylight but also causing chaos in Tianhai. They are guilty!"
Xiao Lai calmly looked at Gu Jin from the Shrek Academy's side. He didn't even need to hear the case; he could just convict him directly.
"This is the judgment. Shrek's side, please confirm whether there are any errors."
Yu Guanzhi pushed the verdict over, and everyone's attention turned to Gu Jin, who represented Shrek Academy. He could only nod in response.
No objections.
The Federation only imposed a fine and then let the other party take Cai Yue'er back. Mainly because it was unnecessary. In a while, the rockets Spirit Pagoda will arrive, and then they will wipe out the Tang Sect and Shrek all at once.
After confirming that there were no objections, Gu Jin returned to the Shrek Academy with the fine notice. Looking at the fine, Yun Ming, Zang Xin, and Cao Dezhi all fell silent.
"This is too much... It's equivalent to half a year's income for the Tang Sect."
The Tang Sect is now a complete tycoon; 3 billion is half a year's income for them. Of course, with so much income, they also invest a lot.
"There's no other way... If Shrek loses a Super Douluo like Elder Cai, it will be a devastating blow..."
Yun Ming sighed. This was just a fine; bailing out Elder Cai and Shen Yi would cost a fortune. It was a real headache.
It's all the fault of those two idiots, Long Yeyue and Cai Yue'er. Damn it, why did they have to fight? Did they have to make such a big deal out of it?
Now everyone at the Shrek Academy had no choice but to accept their fate, and Cai Yue'er and Shen Yi were soon released on bail.
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Cai Yue'er stubbornly stared at Yun Ming in his seat, her eyes filled with grievance. It was really hard to bear seeing an old woman like that.
"Elder Cai, you were too impulsive this time, causing such a great loss to Shrek. From now on, you should stay in the courtyard and cultivate in seclusion, and stop interfering in the Sea God Pavilion Meetings."
Yun Ming, who was being watched, was also prepared to let the other party remain a nobody at the Shrek Academy. Shrek could afford to support someone like that.
Upon seeing this, Cai Yue'er's face turned pale. To tell her not to participate in the Sea God Pavilion Meetings in the future was tantamount to utter disappointment in her and stripping her of her rights. This was worse than death for her!
"Brother Ming, you're still thinking about that woman, aren't you!"
Cai Yue'er pursed her lips, looking at Yun Ming with a wronged expression, and questioned him. She was the other man's suitor, but Yun Ming would rather stay single than be with her.
Adding to the memory of how he proposed to her a hundred years ago and was rejected, Cai Yue'er felt a surge of resentment. Why couldn't he be with her?
Yun Ming was completely dumbfounded. Weren't we telling you to mind your own business? How did we suddenly get involved with Ya Li?
"Elder Cai, what are you saying?"
"Brother Ming! You don't even want to call her Yue'er anymore? You're still thinking about that woman, so what's so great about her?!"
He tried to get the reason, but Cai Yue'er started throwing a tantrum and silenced him. But she wasn't done yet.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Does that mean you're admitting it? Why! What do I lack compared to that woman?!"
Yun Ming hesitated, looking at the other person in front of him with red eyes, as if he had suffered a great injustice, and then touched his brow with a headache, saying:
"Elder Cai, stop joking. I wasn't thinking about Ya Li. Shrek and Tang Sect are in decline now, so you should tone down your temper. This is very important for the Shrek Academy right now."
He said this to calm the other person down and get them to control their temper, but the other person suddenly became agitated.
"Brother Ming! You think I'm being unreasonable again? You also think I have a bad temper? And you even mentioned that damn woman, just because of her pretentious saintly act!"
"Enough! Elder Cai, the Sea God Pavilion is not a place for you to cause trouble!"
Faced with the other party's unreasonable behavior once again, Yun Ming's forehead veins bulged. He really couldn't take it anymore! He directly reprimanded the other party, and Cai Yue'er, who was being reprimanded, immediately froze, and tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.
"Brother Ming, you're yelling at me! You weren't like this before! It's all because of that damned woman! I'm going to kill her!"
Cai Yue'er said resentfully, then slammed the door and left. Yun Ming was really at his wit's end. Dealing with such an unreasonable woman was really troublesome. He couldn't say anything, nor could he remain silent. He couldn't coax her, nor could he scold her. He was truly at his wit's end.
Just as he was having a headache, another figure walked in from outside the Sea God Pavilion. It was an old woman with green hair.
This person is named Xiang Xia, her Martial Soul is Green Field, she is a level 96 healing-type Super Douluo, and one of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. She also witnessed Cai Yue'er's unreasonable behavior and looked at Yun Ming with heartache in her eyes.
"Brother Ming, how about we leave Shrek Academy? I'll take you to the Spirit Pagoda."
Xiang Xia stepped forward and took Yun Ming's hand. She was also one of his suitors, a powerful figure from the same era.
At that time, Yun Ming was one of the most famous people in the Shrek Academy, on par with Wuqing and Cao Dezhi. However, Yun Ming was the first to break through to the Limit Douluo.
"Elder Xiang, please don't joke around. I am the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, how could I possibly join the Spirit Pagoda?"
He shook his head, sensing the other person was joking, while Xiang Xia gritted her teeth and said after a moment of silence:
"Brother Ming, actually I'm from the Spirit Pagoda. If you're willing to come with me, I'm sure that with your strength, you'll definitely be valued."
Upon hearing this, Yun Ming's pupils shrank, but he quickly regained his composure. Xiang Xia was usually very quiet, and she had only confessed her feelings to him when she was young.
He never expected that his classmate would actually be an undercover agent!
"You slut! You're actually from the Spirit Pagoda! And you dare to seduce my Brother Ming! I'll kill you!"
Yun Ming was preparing to extract some information when a sharp shriek came from behind. The two looked over and saw Cai Yue'er lunging at them with a ferocious expression, grabbing Xiang Xia's hair.
"You crazy woman, get out of here! It's a waste of Ming's talents to stay in this lunatic camp. Is it wrong for me to take him to a better place?!"
"You bastard! Today I'll kill you, you damned undercover agent!"
The two old women were wrestling and tearing at each other's hair, clearly in a frenzy. Yun Ming was dumbfounded, having never seen such crazy women before, and couldn't help but be stunned.
However, after realizing what was happening, they quickly intervened to stop the two from continuing their fight.
"Stop! Both of you, stop!"
