Xuan Zi Arrives at the Battlefield
It's impossible to force Zhu Zhuqing to stay. They can only try their best to keep Zhu Zhuqing's heart in the Star Luo Empire. Otherwise, Zhu Zhuqing will not thank them when she grows up, but will only resent them.
They knew this all too well.
They can only control Zhu Zhuqing through personal relationships or feelings; unless they kill her, who would dare to keep her alive?
But would you dare?
Who dares to make a move?
"Your Majesty, this is a personality assessment of the Saintess Hall compiled by the Shadow Guards. According to the data analysis, the possibility of the Saintess Hall staying in our Star Luo Empire is not low. At least until other forces offer something attractive enough to her, it is impossible for the Saintess Hall to leave voluntarily."
Heavenly Fiend unfolded the projection Soul Tool in his hand, which projected all the information about Zhu Lu that the Shadow Guards of the Star Luo Empire had collected.
"Because she lost her mother at a young age and her father did not give her enough love, Her Saintess Hall showed extraordinary perseverance from a young age, or rather, she was precocious."
As a legendary Lone Star of Misfortune, Heavenly Fiend is unlikely to have any friends. When he is bored, he likes to study strange and unusual things.
For example, his minor in anthropology was specifically used for interrogation.
"He has a cold and aloof personality and a rationality that most people don't have. Although he is only six years old, he already has remarkable analytical abilities."
In addition, after six years of training at the Duke Nether's Mansion, he also has a thorough understanding of the situation on the continent.
Knowing full well that she was in the wrong situation, her acceptance of the title of Saintess and the palace bestowed upon her by His Your Majesty was enough to demonstrate her bias towards the Star Luo Empire.
Once she makes a decision, there's basically no going back.
Heavenly Fiend spoke boastfully, leaving the officials completely dumbfounded.
If you can find out so much about the youngest daughter of the Duke Nether's Mansion, then wouldn't they all be exposed?
Suddenly, the empty space around the Tian Sha Douluo became larger.
Xu Jiawei doesn't understand data, but he understands human nature. His analysis of Zhu Zhuqing is similar to that of Heavenly Fiend.
only...
"Your Majesty, we don't need to worry about other forces, but we are afraid of the Shrek Academy. After all, they are the ones who trained the first generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters. I'm afraid they will use the excuse of training a god to tempt Her Saintess Hall. What should we do then?"
One of the ministers voiced Xu Jiawei's concerns.
"Hmph, a god cultivated by Shrek Academy?"
He's just patting himself on the back. Everyone here knows what Shrek looked like 10,000 years ago.
The Original Shrek Seven Monsters ' ascension to godhood was entirely due to their own talent and opportunity; Shrek Academy provided absolutely no help.
Star Luo Dean spat out a disdainful remark.
"We understand what the dean is saying, but who can blame us when everyone on the mainland believes that Shrek has nurtured these gods?"
One minister was both indignant and somewhat depressed.
"That's not enough."
Heavenly Fiend spoke again.
"Her Saintess Hall has already passed the divine test, so as long as Saintess Hall cultivates step by step, she is destined to become a god."
Therefore, whether or not Shrek Academy could cultivate a god was not really attractive to her.
The Saintess's nature meant she wouldn't be swayed by a few words.
The only thing that could possibly sway her was Shrek Academy's training resources.
If the Saintess were to be recruited by the Shrek Academy, she would undoubtedly be assigned to cultivate under the Golden Ancient Tree. Everyone has likely heard of the powerful effects that place provides on cultivation; the Saintess might be drawn to it. Therefore, to prevent this tragedy, we must provide Her Saintess Hall with a cultivation environment no less conducive than the Golden Ancient Tree."
Heavenly Fiend bowed to Xu Jiawei again.
This completely revealed their wolfish ambitions.
Even if the Star Luo Imperial Family went bankrupt, they couldn't build a cultivation environment under the Golden Ancient Tree.
But if all the officials, big and small, of the Star Luo Empire were gathered together, that would be enough.
"What do you, my esteemed ministers, think of this?"
Xu Jiawei looked at everyone with a hint of hesitation on his face.
It was as if he really didn't want to do it but had no choice.
The ministers immediately realized that Star Luo Dean, Titled Douluo, had arrived the slowest, and that the end of Tian Sha Douluo was so perfect. So they had been waiting for them here all along.
That's so insidious!
But can they just ignore it?
"Your Majesty, my family has..."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to offer it..."
"Your Majesty, I can take responsibility..."
For a moment, all the ministers had no choice but to grit their teeth and read out the list.
These things may not be the best cultivation resources in their home, but they are definitely among the top-tier items.
One person's strength is limited, but the strength of many is absolutely immense.
Moreover, the Saintess might not remember those who donated, but it would be bad if they were remembered for not donating.
So even though it hurt, they still donated money and goods enthusiastically.
After just one round, Xu Jiawei felt like he was overwhelmed by treasures.
These items are mostly rare treasures from heaven and earth that Auxiliary Soul Master in their cultivation, and there are even quite a few items that assist in spiritual cultivation.
Looking at the list of names, Xu Jiawei even considered confiscating the property of these officials; they were just too damn "rich".
"Teacher, do you think these materials are enough?"
Xu Jiawei handed the roster to Star Luo Dean.
"That's enough. With these things, we can build a Super Training Ground in the academy."
"If the Cultivation Ground is successfully built, I guarantee that the quality of future students will improve by one level."
Star Luo Dean looked at the roster in his hand and his face was almost wrinkled from laughing.
How long has he wanted to build a super-large training room?
However, Xu Jiawei kept using the excuse of tight resources and limited funds to brush him off.
Now, not only do we need to build super-large structures, but we also need to build structures that can take care of all aspects.
With this, he was convinced he could cultivate a monster comparable to the students of the Shrek Academy.
and...
Star Luo Dean glanced at everyone again, and he didn't believe that these people would still send their own geniuses to Shrek this time.
The ministers all looked distressed upon seeing Star Luo Dean's expression.
Damn, I was careless. I forgot to discuss where to build it.
Moreover, after Zhu Zhuqing uses this Cultivation Ground, it can be inherited.
Now it's all good; Star Luo Dean has taken her away directly, and Zhu Zhuqing will definitely stay at the Star Luo Royal Academy since she no longer needs her.
Fortunately, this way their descendants might also be able to enjoy this benefit.
"Rest assured, everyone. I will not forget your contributions. I guarantee that I will provide enough places for you to compete for each year, so that you can also enjoy this opportunity."
Xu Jiawei laughed heartily.
"Thank you for Your Majesty great kindness, Your Majesty!"
The ministers were satisfied upon hearing this, as although the investment was substantial, the returns would be steady and long-term.
I can't say whether I made a profit or a loss.
"Emperor of Star Luo, where is Zhu Lu? Teach her out; I need to bring her back to the Shrek Academy."
Just as everyone was discussing, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a disheveled figure appeared at the entrance.
