Confining Cai Yuer's soul to the Spirit Pagoda for Five Years!

Not a teacher!

It's my great-grandfather and great-grandmother.

Nan Liujing sat on the bench, gazing at the two imposing figures, his eyes widening slightly.

Cold Rhyme Douluo Xia Zheng Leng, the continent's strongest sound-based Soul Master.

The middle-aged man, emanating black light with a domineering and majestic aura, was Purgatory Douluo Qiangu Qingfeng.

After many years, Nan Liujing was truly meeting them. No wonder Teacher Leng had a playful look on her face when she told him to relax. So that's what it was all about.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly, two streaks of light descended from the sky at extreme speed. When the light dissipated, two figures appeared before Nan Liujing.

"Yue Er."

Ya Li, dressed in a water-green dress that accentuated her delicate figure, exclaimed.

Beside her was Yun Ming, his gaze slightly narrowed.

Upon seeing the two, Cai Yuer immediately became energetic, like a dog seeing its owner. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But she was suppressed by Qiangu Qingfeng's divine power and couldn't utter a sound.

"Qiangu Qingfeng, you should know what it means to rashly attack a Sea God Pavilion member," Yun Ming said, looking at Cai Yuer, who was constantly signaling him, and spoke in a deep voice.

"This is truly laughable," Xia Zheng Leng sneered. "I'd like to ask you instead. Cai Yuer, a dignified member of the Sea God Pavilion, inexplicably targets a child who is only eight and a half years old, calling him an evil soul master from the start, and even intending to use her martial soul to destroy a child's future. Who gave her such authority?"

Hearing this, Yun Ming and Ya Li were stunned, and their gazes all turned to Cai Yuer.

Cai Yuer continued to writhe her soul frantically, but it was useless. She was still completely suppressed.

"What, you don't believe it?" Xia Zheng Leng was too lazy to waste words. With a thought, a recording soul guide instrument flew over from not far away.

Without delay, the instrument projected a light screen. The image displayed was Cai Yuer knocking out Ye Xinglan upon her arrival, her condescending posture as she looked down at Nan Liujing, muttering something about evil soul masters, and the words "Shrek Academy is the principle," followed by her attacking.

If Cai Yuer could still swallow, her throat would have been constricted, because she saw Yun Ming and Ya Li's expressions growing darker and darker.

Qiangu Qingfeng finally spoke, "Liujing, come here."

Called by his name, Nan Liujing didn't delay. He took out a soft pillow from his storage ring, propped up Ye Xinglan, and then got up and walked over.

As soon as he stopped beside Qiangu Qingfeng, he heard his great-grandfather say, "Ya Li, you are the continent's number one healing-type Soul Master, and your martial soul is the purest Prayer Angel. You check if this child is an evil soul master."

Ya Li took a deep breath, no longer paying attention to Cai Yuer's pleading gaze, and walked directly to Nan Liujing.

A gentle smile on her beautiful face, she said, "Child, can I test you?"

"Yes," Nan Liujing replied calmly.

Ya Li placed one hand on Nan Liujing's head. Pure golden light illuminated, exuding a powerful life aura. The world seemed to enter early spring, the best time for all things to revive.

Nan Liujing clearly felt a gentle energy flow into his body. There was no threat, only comfort, like soaking in a hot spring.

A moment later, Ya Li withdrew her hand. Although she still had a smile on her face, Yun Ming saw a cold glint in his lover's eyes.

His gaze also became somewhat profound.

"How is it?" Qiangu Qingfeng asked indifferently.

Ya Li's expression was serious. "This child is not an evil soul master. There is just a very special dark power within him."

Xia Zheng Leng still believed in Ya Li's character. He softened his tone and said, "Then now, we should discuss how to deal with Cai Yuer, this high and mighty member of the Sea God Pavilion."

Yun Ming ignored Cai Yuer and said, "State your demands for resolving this matter."

Qiangu Qingfeng said coldly, "First, a soul bone of at least high-grade lightning attribute with sufficient age. Second, provide one baptism of the Golden Ancient Tree's life power. Third, I will take Cai Yuer's soul and imprison it in the Heavenly Spirit Tower for five years!"

The first two demands were still within acceptable limits. Upon hearing the third demand, Ya Li's expression changed. "Yue Er is a member of the Sea God Pavilion. How can she be imprisoned in the Spirit Pagoda for five years?"

Hearing that she would be imprisoned for five years, Cai Yuer clearly panicked. Even though she was a Super Douluo, her soul would be separated from her body for five years. Even if it returned in the end, her cultivation would surely plummet. She would rather die.

Qiangu Qingfeng ignored Ya Li and faced Yun Ming directly. "Yun Ming, you make the decision."

"Who is this child to you?" Yun Ming asked an extra question instead of answering directly.

"He is my only blood relative in this world," Xia Zheng Leng said in a deep voice.

Yun Ming looked at Nan Liujing, then at Cai Yuer, and said in a gentle tone, "Yue Er, you made a grave mistake back then and were saved by the academy. You promised not to make similar mistakes again, but you broke it today."

Cai Yuer's pupils contracted, a bad premonition surging in her heart.

Yun Ming said lightly, "You often speak of the academy's glory. You surely don't want to see the academy and the Spirit Pagoda go to war, causing unnecessary sacrifices. So, I'll trouble you to temporarily reside in the Spirit Pagoda for five years, how about it?"

"Don't worry, if your cultivation drops, I will find a heavenly treasure to compensate you."

Cai Yuer's eyes went blank. Her soul power immediately surged, attempting to break through Qiangu Qingfeng's suppression. Just then, Qiangu Qingfeng loosened his suppression, and everyone heard her scream:

"Did Ya Li agree to this? I just added your name to the Battle Armor, why are you targeting me?"

Ya Li was stunned. "Your three-word Battle Armor also used Brother Ming's name?"

Cai Yuer suddenly froze. Even in her soul state, her face turned pale.

Not good, I let it slip.

Yun Ming's expression stiffened. He had rejected Cai Yuer's affections back then. For the sake of her teacher, he hadn't forced her to change the character in the Battle Armor, only demanding that she never reveal it in this life. He never expected...

Cai Yuer panicked, still trying to salvage the situation. "I'm a member of the Sea God Pavilion. I can't be captured and imprisoned by the Spirit Pagoda. That would make all the Soul Masters in the world laugh, and it would be a blow to the academy's ten thousand years of glory."

"I want to see Elder Long. I want to see..."

Qiangu Qingfeng, having enjoyed the drama, felt much better. "I can not imprison you."

His words were like a fireworks display of hope, igniting in Cai Yuer's heart.

But Xia Zheng Leng's next sentence plunged her back into the abyss: "But Shrek Academy must permanently remove your status as a Sea God Pavilion elder."

"Choose one of the two. Pick."

Cai Yuer fell silent, her gaze frozen.

At Shrek Academy, the highest status was that of a Sea God Pavilion elder. It wasn't just about reaching a certain cultivation level; one had to have made significant contributions to the academy. To this day, many nine-ring powerhouses had not been inducted and were still considered reserves.

Even she had only joined with the help of her late teacher. If she were removed, all the resources belonging to her lineage would be halved, especially since, as the dean of the outer court, she had privileges to help some students improve.

Cai Yuer weakly lowered her head, her voice trembling. "I choose imprisonment."

"The heavenly treasures promised to you will remain." Yun Ming looked at her calmly. "Afterward, I will announce internally that you are in seclusion seeking a breakthrough. Your reputation will be preserved."

"The academy's ten thousand years of glory will also remain. In five years, you will still be a member of the Sea God Pavilion."

Cai Yuer didn't reply at all. Her head hung low, and intense hatred began to gather in her eyes.

Setting aside the academy's glory, she saw the indifference in Yun Ming's eyes when he mentioned the name of the Three-word Battle Armor.

If that's the case, then don't blame me.
