"Please, please help our Skywater Academy. At least drive those annoying guys away. Don't let them keep harassing my sister and the other female students at Skywater Academy."
Shui Yue'er bent her knees and dropped straight to the ground, her voice full of pleading.
The more Ye Qingzhou listened to Shui Yue'er, the more his heart ached for the girl before him.
This was something that would never have happened in the original story. But because he had arrived and added an auxiliary-type Titled Douluo who hadn't existed in the original, a butterfly effect had been set in motion.
As a result, Ma Hongjun and Flender had learned of another way to resolve Evil Fire.
They had turned their wicked hands toward Shui Bing'er, who possessed the supreme Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.
"This..." Faced with this scene, Dugu Bo wasn't sure what to do. He looked to Ye Shuyuan.
After learning what had happened at Skywater Academy, Ye Shuyuan's expression turned dreadful, as though he'd eaten shit.
He had never imagined that a single decision of his could lead to an innocent young girl suffering such a terrible fate.
"Get up." Ye Shuyuan reached out to help Shui Yue'er to her feet. "This started because of me, so I'll be the one to put an end to it."
He had never told Flender and Ma Hongjun to do anything so despicable.
He hadn't expected the two of them to spring such a huge surprise on him today, three years later.
He had taken up medicine to save people and reduce the number of sick people on the continent.
But he had never expected one of his methods to cause others unnecessary trouble.
This was a complete insult to Ye Shuyuan and to his reputation as the Medical Saint Douluo.
"Dugu Bo, come with me this time."
"Sure. I'd like to see what kind of power this so-called Shrek has." Dugu Bo took the matter very seriously.
If Shui Yue'er was telling the truth and every Shrek student was a pervert, he wouldn't hesitate to cripple them!
That would keep them from preying on other girls.
And besides, what if they preyed on his precious granddaughter one day?
Though that was unlikely. Yu Tianheng hadn't managed to win her over even now. Instead, his darling Yan Yan seemed to be getting closer to Ye Qingzhou.
Keeping it all in the family, huh?
"Here, Sister Yue'er." Ye Qingzhou walked over to Shui Yue'er and took a handkerchief from his Storage Soul Tool, then held it out to her.
Shui Yue'er reached out and accepted the handkerchief. At that moment, warmth spread through her heart. The faint fragrance of magnolia drifted into her nose, filling her with a sense of comfort.
All her negative emotions vanished. She gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Shui Yue'er returned the handkerchief to Ye Qingzhou and said softly, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Ye Qingzhou shook his head and looked at Ye Shuyuan. "Grandpa, let's set off now."
Ye Shuyuan nodded. "All right. Shui Yue'er, you can lead us to Skywater Academy."
It was best to resolve this sort of matter quickly. The longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for everyone.
Especially for the girls at Skywater Academy.
Dugu Bo seemed about to say something, but hesitated and ultimately kept quiet.
Shui Yue'er had recovered somewhat. Hearing their decision, she felt deeply grateful. "Thank you, Your Excellency Medical Saint, Your Excellency Poison."
Heaven Dou City wasn't far from Skywater City. Under normal circumstances, it took only about half a day to get there.
With Shui Yue'er along, Ye Shuyuan didn't choose to travel to Skywater City on foot. Instead, he hired a carriage.
The carriage rattled along, leaving Heaven Dou City behind as it headed for Skywater City.
In just half a day, the carriage carrying Ye Qingzhou and the others arrived in Skywater City.
From the moment they entered the city, an indescribable atmosphere hung over the streets.
Skywater Academy.
It was the only Elemental Academy in Skywater City, and the most prominent one.
The academy mainly admitted female Soul Masters. As long as they met Skywater Academy's standards and were attractive enough, they could enroll.
Not only were its students, teachers, and headmaster all women, but even the guards stationed at Skywater Academy were exceptionally powerful female Soul Masters.
With Ma Hongjun, Flender, and the others around these past few days, Skywater Academy's entrance was under strict guard.
When the guards saw a carriage about to enter Skywater Academy, they stopped it.
Just as Ye Qingzhou and the others were preparing to get out, Shui Yue'er stopped them.
She sprang nimbly to her feet, her face alight with the cheerful smile of a lively young girl. "Your Excellencies, little brother Ye Qingzhou, let me handle this."
With her there, all she had to do was report to the guards, and they would let the group in right away.
Ye Shuyuan stroked his beard. "Then we'll leave it to you."
With the three of them watching, Shui Yue'er got out of the carriage and went over to the two guards. She explained in detail who was inside.
When the guards heard Shui Yue'er's explanation, astonishment filled their delicate faces. Their small mouths fell open, and they immediately let the carriage through.
Shui Yue'er returned to the carriage. The driver urged it forward, following one of the guards into Skywater Academy.
The carriage stopped in the designated parking lot inside Skywater Academy.
Ye Qingzhou, Shui Yue'er, Ye Shuyuan, and Dugu Bo got out.
They followed Shui Yue'er all the way to the headmaster's office.
As they went, Ye Qingzhou felt as though countless eyes were fixed on him. It made him distinctly uncomfortable.
The headmaster's office at Skywater Academy.
Knock, knock, knock.
"The door's unlocked."
Shui Yue'er pushed the door open and led Ye Qingzhou, Ye Shuyuan, and Dugu Bo inside.
She looked at the elderly woman sitting in a chair and sighing. "Headmaster, Sister, I've brought them in."
Aside from Shui Qingrou, the headmaster of Skywater Academy, a girl who looked about the same age as Shui Yue'er and closely resembled her sat on the edge of the bed.
The girl wore a long, ice-blue dress. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her skin was as smooth as jade. A cool, otherworldly air lingered between her brows.
This girl was the main victim of the incident, Shui Bing'er, captain of the Skywater Team.
Shui Yue'er sat naturally beside Shui Bing'er and patted her on the shoulder.
Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo introduced themselves first.
"I am Ye Shuyuan, Medical Saint Douluo." "I am Dugu Bo, Poison Douluo." "Our visit to your academy was rather sudden, and perhaps somewhat presumptuous. We hope you won't take offense, Headmaster."
The words Medical Saint Douluo and Poison Douluo sent Shui Qingrou scrambling to her feet. She didn't dare show the slightest disrespect.
"I am Shui Qingrou, headmaster of Skywater Academy. Greetings, Senior Medical Saint, Senior Poison."
Neither in cultivation nor in age and seniority could Shui Qingrou compare with Dugu Bo and Ye Shuyuan.
