Leng Yaozhu: Please Decide, Tower Master!

Will Leng Yaozhu believe Yun Ming?

In fact, even Leng Yaozhu herself doesn't know this now.

Based on her understanding of Yun Ming, he should be trustworthy.

She knew the character and sense of responsibility of the man who had once stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

But her instincts wouldn't allow her to place her hopes on others.

She has lived for so many years and has witnessed too much betrayal and too many changes.

Just as Leng Yaozhu was about to speak, a voice came from behind her.

"Teacher, you should go back first. I'll stay by His Crown Prince Qingtian's side for the next few days."

The one speaking was naturally Huo Yuhao.

He couldn't just stand by and watch Aunt Leng and Shrek Academy go to war, especially since it was a war they were destined to lose.

These Elder, working together, were no match for Aunt Leng. Huo Yuhao couldn't let her be put in danger for his sake.

Upon hearing Leng Yaozhu calmed down.

The unspoken understanding between her and Huo Yuhao, her master and disciple, allowed her to instantly grasp his meaning.

Huo Yuhao meant "staying by Yun Ming's side these past few days".

When he said "a few days," he meant that he didn't want to stay at Shrek forever; these few days were just a temporary measure, and he wanted Leng Yaozhu to figure out a solution during this time.

Furthermore, he said "stay by Yun Ming's side" instead of "stay at Shrek," which indicates that he will not be in danger in the next few days.

Leng Yaozhu remained silent for a moment. She was unsure whether Yun Ming could handle the matter properly, but protecting Huo Yuhao's safety for a few days should be no problem at all.

Having figured all this out, Leng Yaozhu turned to look at Huo Yuhao.

Her expression was resolute, but her tone softened. "Okay, then the teacher will come to pick you up in a few days!"

After saying that, Leng Yaozhu looked at the Shrek members again and said coldly, "If anything happens to Yuhao in the next few days, don't blame me for abandoning him!"

After leaving those words, Leng Yaozhu turned and left the Sea God Pavilion.

Faced with her final threat, the expressions within the Sea God Pavilion varied.

Long Yeyue snorted, unconcerned. "Quite the boastful one."

Yun Ming glanced at his teacher's wife indifferently, then said, "We'll discuss this matter again tomorrow. The previous anomalies have already attracted the attention of the students and Shrek City. Everyone should perform their duties, stabilize the academy, and quell public opinion."

"Yes!"

The Elder all agreed and then left the Sea God Pavilion one after another.

At this moment, only Yun Ming, Ya Li, and Huo Yuhao remained Sea God Pavilion.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on them, but it couldn't dispel the heavy atmosphere.

Yun Ming sighed, a sigh filled with exhaustion and helplessness.

He knew there was a problem with the atmosphere at the academy, but only now did he realize how serious it was.

The reputation of being the top academy on the mainland has led these Elder astray.

Yun Ming knew that such a mindset was not formed in a day, nor could it be changed in a short period of time.

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

A pang of heartache flashed in Ya Li's eyes as she looked at Yun Ming, then she turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao, a hint of apology in her gentle eyes.

"Yuhao, this matter cannot be decided by Ming-ge alone. I'm sorry you've been wronged."

Huo Yuhao was not someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong; he had overheard everyone's conversation.

His face remained calm as he smiled and said, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Pavilion Master."

Yun Ming nodded. "Don't worry, no one will make things difficult for you these next few days."

The strange phenomena on Sea God Island sparked much discussion among the Shrek Academy students, with various speculations circulating among them.

Many students gathered at the Sea God Lake, craning their necks to look at Sea God Island in the center of the lake.

Everyone saw a fiery red figure flying from the direction of Sea God Island at an astonishing speed, like a burning flame streaking across the sky.

In the blink of an eye, she landed on the shore, her figure standing out conspicuously in the sunlight.

Many people did not recognize this figure, but judging from the aura emanating from him, they knew that he was a powerful expert at the Titled Douluo level.

Some people recognized her identity and whispered to those around them, "Sky Phoenix Douluo."

Gu Yue looked around and saw that only her teacher, Leng Yaozhu, was standing in front of her; Huo Yuhao was nowhere to be seen.

Moreover, Leng Yaozhu had a cold expression on her face at the moment, and her emotions were clearly not right.

Gu Yue had some guesses in her mind, and she asked, "Teacher, where is Yuhao?"

Leng Yaozhu glanced at Sea God Island, a hint of coldness flashing in her phoenix eyes.

She said coldly, "You've been detained by Shrek. Come back to the Spirit Pagoda with me first."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's gaze sharpened.

She nodded and followed Leng Yaozhu out of the Shrek Academy.

The Spirit Pagoda, floor 123.

This is the core of power in the Spirit Pagoda, the exclusive floor of the Tower Master, Qiangu Dongfeng.

"The Tower Master is currently entertaining guests, please wait a moment!"

"Vice Tower Master, you cannot go in now!"

Two exclamations entered the room, causing a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa to frown and a flash of anger in his eyes.

He looked to be in his forties, with long silver hair tied back, a lean face, sharp features, and a commanding presence.

Above his high, hooked nose were a pair of slender eyes, and with his sharp, sword-like eyebrows, he gave off an aura of authority without being angry.

And this person is none other than the current Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda— Qiangu Dongfeng!

He was meeting with the Tower Master of a Branch Tower below, and had specifically instructed that no one was to disturb him.

But now, someone actually dared to barge in, which really shows they don't take him seriously.

A surge of anger welled up within him.

His expression was serious, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and his gaze flicked toward the doorway.

The chill emanating from him was like a winter wind, causing the titled expert sitting opposite him to tremble involuntarily.

With a loud bang, the door to the reception room was pushed open from the outside.

When Qiangu Dongfeng saw the fiery red figure walk in, the anger on his face vanished instantly, the change as swift as turning the pages of a book.

His brows relaxed, the anger in his eyes faded, and a complex emotion took its place.

He stood up and said gently, "Yao Zhu, what brings you here?"

Leng Yaozhu glanced at the restless branch tower master, then turned her gaze to Qian Gu Dongfeng opposite her.

She didn't mince words and went straight to the point. "Now that someone from my Spirit Pagoda is being bullied, will you, as the Tower Master, stand up for them?"

Didn't Long Yeyue say she couldn't make the decision? Then she'll find someone who truly can.

The branch tower master standing beside Qian Gu Dong Feng naturally recognized Leng Yao Zhu.

Who doesn't know the formidable reputation of the Sky Phoenix Douluo?

The fact that even the Tower Master Qiangu Dongfeng is needed to solve such a problem shows that it is not a simple matter.

He wasn't oblivious to the situation, and seeing this, he quickly said, "Since the two Tower Master are discussing important matters, I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he flashed away with astonishing speed, disappearing from the house in the blink of an eye.

Incidentally, he also closed the door to the reception room, his movements light and practiced, without making a sound.

He asked, "What exactly happened?"

He was also filled with doubt. What could be so difficult that even Leng Yaozhu couldn't handle, requiring his intervention?
