Ye Guyi, it really was her!

Having made up his mind, Zhou Huan said, "Hello, Miss Ye, my name is Zhou Huan."

Ye Guyi glanced at the strange couple with some confusion and said, "Now we can be considered acquainted. But as Miss Zhang said, it's just a chance encounter. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

In fact, Ye Guyi really didn't want to linger any longer. After all, it was just a name, and she could leave after saying it to avoid asking more questions and causing more trouble.

However, at this moment, Zhou Huan said, "Miss Ye, please wait."

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi frowned and said somewhat displeasedly, "I just couldn't help but laugh a little, why are you still so insistent?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan could only smile helplessly, "Miss Ye, you've misunderstood. We're not here to cause trouble, nor are we bad people. Actually, we're from Shrek Academy, and we're here because of this Soul Master Competition."

Upon hearing that the other party was from Shrek Academy, Ye Guyi relaxed a bit, and the displeasure on her face disappeared.

It's not that she didn't recognize Zhou Huan and the other person; the main reason is that she hadn't watched the Soul Master Competition. She had been focused on the Soul Master Elite Competition in the underground black market, so she didn't have time to join in the excitement of the Soul Master Competition.

However, Ye Guyi still didn't understand why the Shrek people were stopping her, so she asked, "Do Miss Zhang and Brother Zhou have something to discuss with me? We've only known each other for less than two minutes, haven't we?"

Seeing this, Zhou Huan didn't mince words and went straight to the point. "Miss Ye, are you participating in the Soul Master Elite Competition hosted by the three major forces of the Mingdu Underground Black Market?"

Upon hearing Ye Guyi's gaze sharpened, her eyes becoming piercing as she stared at Zhou Huan and asked, "How did you know that?"

Zhou Huan calmly continued, "Miss Ye, you don't need to know how I know; however, I can sense the divine aura emanating from you, which must be related to your Martial Soul, right?"

Upon hearing Zhou Huan's words, Ye Guyi was shocked. Were all the people from Shrek Academy this powerful? I didn't even release my Soul Master aura, and he could sense my Martial Soul aura? Was that really possible?

Seeing that Ye Guyi's pupils had dilated slightly, Zhou Huan smiled gently and said, "Miss Ye, there's no need to be surprised. I'm just a little special."

Immediately, Zhou Huan released a burst of Soul Power, completely isolating the three of them from everything around them. Then, with a serious expression, he said, "Miss Ye, from the divine aura emanating from you, I can roughly guess what you intend to do at the Soul Master Elite Competition. I advise you not to act impulsively."

Ye Guyi's feelings were very complicated at this moment. It was as if what she wanted to do had been seen through from the very beginning, but she still said, "If you are really that powerful and know everything, you should know that this is my mission."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan was speechless.

This girl is really stubborn!

Even if eliminating Evil Soul Master is the mission of your Holy Angel Clan, how can a mere Soul Emperor like you entering a demon's lair alone be any different from courting death?

Therefore, Zhou Huan explained, "The three major forces in the Mingdu Underground Black Market Xishui Alliance, the Ordinary Alliance, and the Aodu Merchant Guild. Among them, the Xishui Alliance is backed by Evil Soul Master; so, Miss Ye, I guess you are either from the Ordinary Alliance or the Aodu Merchant Guild. But no matter which one it is, they cannot contend with the Xishui Alliance."

Upon hearing Ye Guyi, Ye Guyi frowned deeply and said, "Why? Not to mention that the Aodu Merchant Guild controls a powerful Underground Assassin Guild, even the Ordinary Alliance has the backing of the Sun Moon Royal Family. No matter how powerful the Xishui Alliance is, can it really deal with the royal family?"

Zhou Huan shook his head, thinking how foolish the girl was, having failed to gather sufficient intelligence.

She only needed to glance at this year's Soul Master Competition to know that even Evil Soul Master from the Holy Spirit Cult could participate in the competition openly. No one would believe that these Evil Soul Masters had no connection with the Sun Moon Royal Family, the organizer of the competition.

Moreover, barring any instances of reckless behavior, Xu Tianran and other members of the Sun Moon Royal Family are really no match for the Holy Spirit Cult.

After all, no matter how powerful Level Nine Soul Guidance Cannon, you still have to be able to use it effectively and hit your target.

Not to mention, why would they offend the Holy Spirit Cult, a powerful ally, for the sake of someone like Ye Guyi?

In particular, those who possess Martial Soul like the Holy Angel are the mortal enemies of these Evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult, and are beings who must be killed without any room for negotiation.

Therefore, in response to Ye Guyi's question, Zhou Huan stated bluntly, "I can tell you definitively that behind the Xishui Alliance is a powerful organization of Evil Soul Master, with no fewer than ten Titled Douluo, not to mention Super Douluo and even Limit Douluo. Do you think your Aodu Merchant Guild or the Ordinary Alliance will be able to save you when you unleash the ultimate Evil Soul Master's Martial Soul?"

Ye Guyi was completely stunned, her mind going blank and her eyes wide open.

Is the power behind the Xishui Alliance really that outrageously strong?

You keep talking about being Titled Douluo, a Super Douluo, and even a Limit Douluo? Are you trying to scare me into thinking I'm ignorant?

Ye Guyi really wanted to say, "I've traveled all over the country and seen all sorts of things. Don't think I'm easily scared!"

Seeing Zhou Huan's serious expression, which didn't seem like he was joking at all, Ye Guyi kept quiet.

After all, you've only just met. If someone were to remind you of these things on your very first meeting, why would they bring up the Xishui Alliance at this time and place if they truly wanted to harm you?

Why don't we just eliminate you next time you participate?

Therefore, after careful consideration, Ye Guyi still chose to believe Zhou Huan and the other person.

However, Ye Guyi couldn't possibly withdraw from the competition midway, so she said, "I've already promised Alliance Leader Shangguan of the Ordinary Alliance, so I can't leave now."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan frowned and said, "Shangguan Wei'er won't let you leave?"

At this point, Ye Guyi was no longer surprised that Zhou Huan knew the name of a black market boss like Alliance Leader Shangguan. She then said, "I want to kill the Evil Soul Master, and Alliance Leader Shangguan wants to win the competition. This is our deal."

Zhou Huan shook his head and said, "Shangguan Wei'er is just a Titled Douluo. She wants to die, you don't need to die with her."

After listening, Ye Guyi pondered for a long time before finally saying, "I'm sorry, I won't withdraw from the competition for now. Also, thank you for reminding me. Goodbye."

Just as Ye Guyi turned to leave, she realized that she had been cut off from the outside world without her noticing. She looked at Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan in utter shock, thinking to herself, "These two are terrifying!"

However, the moment she turned around, that feeling of being isolated from the outside world vanished.

Ye Guyi then nodded to Zhou Huan and the other person before leaving.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan, who had been silent until now, finally asked, "According to you, if this Miss Ye continued to participate in the competition, she would surely die after her Martial Soul was exposed. Why did you just let her leave like that?"

However, Zhou Huan simply patted Zhang Lexuan's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her."

Actually, Zhou Huan wasn't too worried about Ye Guyi's safety. After all, even if things had gone according to plan, with Huo Gua around, Ye Guyi wouldn't have died.

But now that Zhou Huan has intervened, he naturally won't let it go unchecked.

This wasn't because Zhou Huan was being nosy; rather, he had sensed it earlier using the Five-Colored Godhead that Ye Guyi also possessed a broken piece of Godhead.

Although the Godhead Fragment was small, the information from Zhou Huan's Five-Colored Godhead Fragment indicated that absorbing it would be of great benefit to him.

That's why Zhou Huan turned his attention to Ye Guyi.

At the same time, he also thought of Le Wuxue, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, but Zhou Huan always felt that Le Wuxue was different from Ye Guyi.

There was no point in thinking about it now, so Zhou Huan temporarily suppressed his various guesses and questions and decided to find a way to get the Godhead Fragment from Ye Guyi first.

Zhang Lexuan, who was standing to the side, was unaware that Zhou Huan had suddenly thought of these things. Instead, she smiled gently and said, "Is it really okay for you to say things like 'You should pay attention to other girls' in front of your own girlfriend so matter-of-factly?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan paused slightly, her expression shifting. "... Sister Lexuan, have you been reading any romance novels lately?"

Zhang Lexuan shook her head. "No."

Zhou Huan gently squeezed Zhang Lexuan's soft little hand and smiled, "Sister Lexuan, you look so cute when you're jealous."

Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes at Zhou Huan, annoyed, and said, "You're overthinking it. How could I be jealous of a girl I just met? You're too confident."

Zhou Huan chuckled, not minding at all, and took Zhang Lexuan's hand as they continued walking into Mingdu City.
