Gu Yue: Di Tian, Come to Shrek City

Leng Yaozhu didn't waste any words and said directly, "Yuhao has been detained by the Shrek Academy!"

Upon hearing this, Qiangu Dongfeng raised an eyebrow, a knowing glint flashing in his narrow eyes.

He realized that something had happened to Leng Yaozhu's precious apprentice; no wonder she was so anxious.

Qiangu Dongfeng's expression remained calm; his lean face showed no outward signs of emotion.

But Leng Yaozhu's next words caused his expression to change drastically.

"The strange phenomenon at the Shrek Academy before was caused by Yuhao."

Upon hearing this, Qiangu Dongfeng immediately asked, "What did Yuhao do?"

As the Tower Master the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Dongfeng has an extremely strong desire for power and has always regarded Shrek Academy as his hypothetical enemy.

Therefore, he paid close attention to everything related to the Shrek Academy.

At this moment, he was naturally very curious about what Huo Yuhao had done to make Shrek Academy "detain" him.

Huo Yuhao's talent aroused the suspicion of Qiangu Dongfeng, who felt it threatened his position as the Tower Master.

Leng Yaozhu knew this all too well; otherwise, she wouldn't have sent Huo Yuhao to the East Sea a few years ago.

Therefore, if we want the Qiangu Dongfeng to lend its strength now, we will naturally have to use some means, but fortunately, this matter itself is a very good excuse.

"Yuhao resonated with the Golden Tree of the Shrek Academy. The specifics are still unclear, but Shrek Academy, citing the safety of the academy, wants to keep Huo Yuhao at Shrek!"

Leng Yaozhu's voice was calm, and she explained the situation in one sentence.

Her gaze was fixed on Qiangu Dongfeng, awaiting his reaction.

Upon hearing this, Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes lit up.

His brows relaxed, and his narrow eyes sparkled with excitement.

He knew the Golden Tree all too well.

After the fall of each Sea God Pavilion, they would leave their soul imprint on the Golden Tree Golden Tree, making it Shrek Academy's strongest foundation.

I've never heard of Golden Tree that can resonate with humans on its own before. Is Huo Yuhao the only one in ten thousand years?

If Long Yeyue previously thought that Huo Yuhao's resonance with the Golden Tree might threaten Shrek Academy, it was somewhat of an exaggeration.

That Qiangu Dongfeng really does have plans to take action against the Shrek Academy!

Qiangu Dongfeng's gaze had now shifted from Leng Yaozhu's face, and he began to ponder.

He truly likes Leng Yaozhu, but when it comes to his "career," women only slow down his sword-wielding.

He was thinking that if Huo Yuhao's resonance with the Golden Tree could really allow him to bypass the Golden Tree's defenses, then Huo Yuhao's value would be immense!

That means he can ignore Shrek Academy's strongest defense at crucial moments and deliver a fatal blow to the Shrek Academy.

However, he then thought again that Huo Yuhao was Leng Yaozhu's disciple, not one of his own, so whether he could be of use to him was still an unknown.

If Huo Yuhao is allowed to stay at the Shrek Academy, wouldn't that be considered "using someone else's knife to kill"—eliminating an enemy?

Leng Yaozhu didn't know what Qiangu Dongfeng was thinking, but she knew that this reason alone wasn't enough to get him to take action.

She knew Qiangu Dongfeng all too well.

He is shrewd and good at weighing options, and he will not be blinded by short-term gains.

Leng Yaozhu continued, "The Tower Master should be aware of Yuhao's talent."

"If the Spirit Pagoda ignores him and actually lets him join Shrek Academy, then another Yun Ming will soon follow!"

Upon hearing this, Qiangu Dongfeng trembled.

He was somewhat taken aback by Yun Ming, the Number One Person on the continent.

That was a thorn in his heart, a peak he could never reach.

He dreamed of surpassing Yun Ming, but could only ever look up to him.

The thought of two Yun Ming possibly emerging at the Shrek Academy in the future made Qiangu Dongfeng cry out in his heart, "Absolutely not!"

Seeing the change in Qiangu Dongfeng's expression, Leng Yaozhu pressed her advantage, saying, "Yuhao is a member of my Spirit Pagoda. If he is really detained by the Shrek Academy, wouldn't people think that my Spirit Pagoda is inferior to Shrek?"

Leng Yaozhu's two sentences precisely hit the nail on the head regarding Qiangu Dongfeng's weakness.

Qiangu Dongfeng values his reputation highly and will not allow anything to bring shame to the Spirit Pagoda.

Shrek Academy's detention of the Spirit Pagoda's people is itself an insult to the Spirit Pagoda and a challenge to its authority.

So without hesitation, he said, "Regardless of the reason, Shrek Academy has no right to detain the people from the Spirit Pagoda. I will, as the Tower Master, lodge a formal protest."

Leng Yaozhu added, "I met with people from Shrek today, and they were very firm. I'm afraid they won't release them easily."

The attitude and words of the Shrek Academy Elder today indicate that they will not compromise easily.

Qiangu Dongfeng's gaze darkened slightly, and he sneered, "Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent, but my Spirit Pagoda is not to be underestimated. Don't worry."

As he spoke, a glint of light flashed in Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes.

He realized that this was also an opportunity, a chance to show Shrek's "true face" to the entire continent.

Leng Yaozhu then asked, "When is the Tower Master going to Shrek?"

Qiangu Dongfeng thought for a moment and said, "I need to make some preparations. I'll contact Shrek Academy today, and I'll go there in person the day after tomorrow."

He needs time, he needs to mobilize manpower, he needs to develop a plan; he cannot fight an unprepared battle.

Leng Yaozhu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go together the day after tomorrow!"

Perfect timing, she also needs to make some preparations these next couple of days.

Huo Yuhao is her disciple, but he is not just her disciple.

Back on the 121st floor, Gu Yue hurriedly came over, her delicate face full of nervousness.

She asked, "Teacher, how is it?"

The coldness on Leng Yaozhu's face had dissipated considerably, and she gave Gu Yue a gentle smile, "The Tower Master will personally visit Shrek Academy the day after tomorrow, and I will take you with me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's purple eyes flickered, and she asked again, "Teacher, will Shrek Academy release Yuhao so easily?"

Leng Yaozhu snorted, "So what if Shrek? Today they're using their power to bully us, but the day after tomorrow we'll let them experience what it feels like to be bullied."

After saying that, she gave Gu Yue a reassuring look. "Don't worry, Teacher will definitely bring Yuhao back."

Leng Yaozhu's words weren't just to appease Gu Yue; she genuinely had a solution.

Even if Qiangu Dongfeng disagrees to step in today, she still believes there is a way to successfully take Huo Yuhao away.

At night, Gu Yue sat by the window, gazing down at the night sky over Shrek City.

The lights of countless homes, like twinkling stars, unfolded before her eyes.

In her hand, she held the communicator, its cold, metallic texture pressed against her palm.

She looked in the direction of the Shrek Academy, and after a moment dialed a number.

"Hey, Di Tian, come to Shrek City tomorrow!"

Gu Yue's cool voice carried an unquestionable command.
