A Clean Break!

Wu Qi has been busy these past few days.

The teacher in charge of guarding the warehouse was a staunch supporter of Xue Qinghe.

Wu Qi, holding Xue Qinghe's token, easily took away the resource collection record.

He took the record out of the Soul Tool and laid it flat on the desk beside him.

"You haven't used the academy's Cultivation resources, but Qin Ming has been getting them for you."

"There's one more thing I need to ask you. Did Qin Ming give you any money, or collude with you to sell the academy's resources?"

This is very important.

If the Royal Fight Team One was involved, this evidence would have to be discarded to avoid implicating Dugu Yan.

Selling Imperial Family property is tantamount to slapping the Imperial Family in the face and will inevitably be dealt with seriously. Even if Dugu Yan is backed by Dugu Bo, she will still be held accountable.

Dugu Yan said earnestly, "Teacher Qin has never given us any money. However, whenever we need something, he can always provide the necessary resources immediately."

"We don't lack resources ourselves, so we haven't paid much attention to this. We're unsure whether Qin Ming is reselling resources."

Dugu Bo sneered, "No wonder that kid was able to break through to Soul Emperor at the age of thirty."

"Your situation is not unique. These are all children of noble families, and most of them don't even cultivate. Qin Ming, in his capacity as their teacher, collected the students' resources on their behalf and used them for his own cultivation."

However, this matter could be considered a big deal or a small deal.

Without evidence of Qin Ming selling resources, it may not be enough to bring him down.

Although Qin Ming acquired so many resources, he demonstrated his strength, so even if he were to report this to the Imperial Family, it would most likely come to nothing.

Wu Qi couldn't prove that Qin Ming stole and sold Cultivation resources, but Qin Ming also couldn't prove that he took so many resources not to give to his alma mater.

Shrek Academy is his alma mater, and he could indeed take the lead in proposing that it be Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but according to regulations, he would have to recuse himself afterward.

But now, instead of avoiding suspicion, he is the one who bears the brunt of it.

Then don't blame Wu Qi for being ruthless.

He never considered himself a virtuous person, and he was adept at using both black and white methods.

Moreover, Qin Ming is an enemy.

"This is just the appetizer; the main course will have to be prepared by the old man himself."

Dugu Bo became interested. "Tell me," he said, "I will certainly not refuse."

Wu Qi took out a small Soul Tool from his pocket.

"This contains low-level Cultivation resources. Old man, find some shady Three Teachings and Nine Schools can disguise themselves as Qin Ming and have them delivered the resources to the Shrek Academy."

Dugu Bo remained silent.

This is practically framing someone.

But when he thought of Dugu Yan's experiences, he felt no burden in his heart.

Qin Ming took away a massive amount of Cultivation resources from the academy, but ended up helping Shrek Academy suppress its own students.

This kind of traitor doesn't deserve any sympathy.

Dugu Bo nodded. "Leave it to me, I guarantee no one will find out. However, you'd better find out the location of the Shrek Academy."

The movements of the Shrek Academy are not difficult to trace. Wu Qi also has the Papal Order, so he can mobilize the power of the Spirit Hall to help in the search.

In the afternoon.

The Royal Fight Team One assembled at the Training Ground.

Before the cultivation began, Yu Tianheng sought out Dugu Yan alone.

"Tian Heng, is there something you need?"

Yu Tianheng clearly sensed that Dugu Yan's attitude towards him had changed drastically since Soul Fighting returned.

He had initially intended to give each other some time to cool off, but after witnessing Dugu Yan's strength, he became impatient.

Originally, Dugu Yan's strength was always one level lower than his.

In the Royal Fight Team One, he was the strongest, and Yu Feng and the others followed his lead.

As Dugu Yan's strength increased dramatically, Yu Feng and the others became much colder towards him.

He is the Team Captain of the Royal Fight Team One, Yu Tianxin is the Team Captain of the Thunder Academy Team. The competition between the two is currently at the same level.

If he loses his Team Captain as a result, he will fall behind Yu Tianxin.

Moreover, according to family rules, if one's partner is not a member of the family, then one's own strength must be greater than that of one's partner.

If his strength cannot be improved in a short period of time, the loss will be significant.

In more serious cases, it could even cause him to lose out in the competition for the Young Sect Master position!

Dugu Yan's sudden increase in strength must have been due to some kind of Fortuitous Opportunity.

If he could also obtain it, not only would he be able to maintain his relationship with Dugu Yan, but he would also surpass Yu Tianxin in strength.

"Yan Zi, how did you improve your strength? If possible, I can purchase Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Treasures from you on behalf of my family."

During this period, Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng had no contact, and the worst thing for lovers is to be suspicious of each other.

Every day, she heard Dugu Bo speak ill of the latter, Yu Tianheng's standing in her heart plummeted.

Now, Yu Tianheng's first question wasn't about her condition, but about her cultivation level, clearly indicating that he had his eye on the Immortal Herb.

This time, Yu Tianheng had fallen into the trap set by Dugu Bo.

Dugu Yan was now completely convinced that Yu Tianheng had approached her for personal gain.

"Tian Heng, don't you think that's ridiculous?"

"Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Treasures are always reserved for those with the right affinity. Since you lack that affinity, why bother asking?!"

Yu Tianheng's face remained as still as water.

He had no idea what had happened during this time, and why Dugu Yan, who usually obeyed him in everything, had changed her attitude so drastically!

After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but say, "Yan Zi, I know that our relationship has grown somewhat distant lately, and I'm willing to make amends."

"But if I can't improve my strength, do you know how much pressure I'll be under from my family?"

"What's it to me!" With that, Dugu Yan turned to leave.

Yu Tianheng quickly stepped in front of her, his face extremely grim, and angrily said, "Yan Zi, are you really so heartless?"

"The Royal Fight Team Two has seen a leap in overall strength recently, all because Wu Qi came into contact with His Your Excellency Dugu; and now that your strength has also increased, it's clear that the treasure is in your hands."

"Given our relationship, don't you deserve some for me?"

Yu Tianheng has completely gone in the wrong direction.

If he hadn't brought up the matter himself, but instead had shown concern for Dugu Yan, she might actually have asked him for a Immortal Herb.

Now, in Dugu Yan's heart, Yu Tianheng's image has completely collapsed!

You disgust me.

After uttering a curse, Dugu Yan turned and left.

Yu Tianheng tried to stop her, but was pushed away by her powerful Soul Power.

Knowing he couldn't fight her, Yu Tianheng roared, "Dugu Yan, if you dare leave, we're done for!"

Dugu Yan ignored him and continued walking without stopping.

From a distance, Yu Feng and the others witnessed this scene.

Osler couldn't help but say, "From now on, Sister Yan Zi will be the Team Captain, so don't make her angry."

Yu Feng couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Yu Tianheng. "It's completely over between Tian Heng and Sister Yan Zi."

When the Three Education Committee Members inquired about Dugu Yan's matter, Yu Tianheng should have unconditionally sided with the latter, instead of trying to compromise and offend neither side.

It's too late to regret it now.
