Arriving at Skywater Academy, Shui Bing'er's Cold Exterior, Warm Interior

"I beg you, please help our Skywater Academy. At the very least, drive those annoying guys away and don't let them continue to harass my sister and the other female students at Skywater Academy."

Shui Yue'er bent her knees and knelt straight down, her tone filled with supplication.

Listening to Shui Yue'er, Ye Qingzhou felt even more heartache for the young girl before him.

This was something that clearly wouldn't have happened in the original story, but because of his arrival, a support-type Titled Douluo who didn't exist in the original work had been added.

This had triggered a butterfly effect, leading Ma Hongjun and Flender to discover other ways to resolve the Evil Fire.

They had stretched their evil hands toward Shui Bing'er, who possessed the top-tier Ice Phoenix martial soul.

"This..." Faced with this scene, Dugu Bo didn't know how to handle it for a moment; he looked toward Ye Shuyuan.

Upon learning what had happened at Skywater Academy, Ye Shuyuan's expression was currently extremely ugly, as if he had eaten excrement.

He hadn't expected that his own decision would cause an innocent young girl to suffer such a tragedy.

"Get up." Ye Shuyuan reached out to help Shui Yue'er up. "This matter started because of me, so it must end because of me."

From start to finish, he had never told Flender or Ma Hongjun to do such despicable things.

He hadn't expected that three years later, these two would give him such a huge "surprise."

His goal in practicing medicine was to save people and reduce the number of patients on the continent.

Yet he never imagined that one day, one of his treatment plans would cause unnecessary trouble for others.

This was a complete insult to him, Ye Shuyuan, and his reputation as the Medical Saint Douluo.

"Dugu Bo, you will come with me this time."

"Hmph, I want to see what kind of strength this so-called Shrek has." Dugu Bo took this matter very seriously.

If what Shui Yue'er said was true and the Shrek students were all perverts, he wouldn't mind crippling them!

It would save them from harming other young girls.

Not to mention, what if they harmed his precious granddaughter one day?

Although that was impossible; after all, that brat Yu Tianheng hadn't succeeded yet, and his darling Yan Yan was actually closer to Ye Qingzhou.

That would be becoming family through marriage, after all.

"Sister Yue'er, here." Ye Qingzhou walked to Shui Yue'er's side, took a handkerchief from his storage Soul Tool, and handed it to her.

Shui Yue'er reached out and took the handkerchief Ye Qingzhou offered. At that moment, she felt a warmth in her heart, and the faint scent of magnolia entered her nostrils, making her feel incredibly comforted.

All her negative emotions dissipated, and she gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief.

Shui Yue'er returned the handkerchief to Ye Qingzhou, her tone soft and gentle: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Ye Qingzhou shook his head and looked at Ye Shuyuan. "Grandfather, let's set off now."

Ye Shuyuan nodded and said, "Very well. Shui Yue'er, you lead the way to Skywater Academy."

It was best to resolve such matters as quickly as possible; the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for everyone.

Especially for those little girls at Skywater Academy.

Dugu Bo wanted to say something, but hesitated and kept it to himself.

Shui Yue'er's mood had stabilized, and upon hearing their decision, she was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Your Excellency Medical Saint, Your Excellency Poison."

Tiandou City was not very far from Skywater City; under normal circumstances, one could arrive easily in about half a day.

With Shui Yue'er present, Ye Shuyuan chose not to travel to Skywater City on foot, but instead hired a carriage.

The carriage rumbled along, departing from Tiandou City toward Skywater City.

In just half a day, the carriage carrying Ye Qingzhou and his group arrived at Skywater City.

From the moment they entered Skywater City, the atmosphere along the way felt indescribable.

Skywater Academy.

This was the only elemental academy in Skywater City and also its most representative institution.

The academy advocated admitting female soul masters; as long as their appearance was up to par and they met the admission standards, they could join Skywater Academy.

Not only were the students, teachers, and the dean of Skywater Academy female, but even the guards stationed at the gates were top-tier female soul masters from the continent.

Because of the presence of Ma Hongjun, Flender, and the others over the past few days, the entrance to Skywater Academy was heavily guarded.

Seeing a carriage about to enter Skywater Academy, the guards stationed on both sides of the gate stopped them.

Ye Qingzhou and his group were just about to get off the carriage when they were stopped by Shui Yue'er.

She stood up from her seat with agile grace, her face full of a lively girl's smile: "Your Excellencies, little brother Ye Qingzhou, let me handle this."

With her there, as long as she reported to the guards, they would let them in immediately.

Ye Shuyuan stroked his beard and said, "Then I will trouble you."

Under the gaze of the three, Shui Yue'er stepped out of the carriage and went to the two guards to explain in detail who was inside.

Upon hearing Shui Yue'er's information, the guards' exquisite faces were filled with surprise, their small mouths slightly agape, and they immediately cleared the way.

Shui Yue'er returned to the carriage, and under the guidance of one of the guards, the coachman drove them into Skywater Academy.

The carriage came to a stop in the parking area designated for vehicles within Skywater Academy.

Ye Qingzhou, Shui Yue'er, Ye Shuyuan, and Dugu Bo stepped down from the carriage.

They followed Shui Yue'er all the way toward the office of the Skywater Academy dean.

Along the way, Ye Qingzhou constantly felt as if countless pairs of eyes were focused on him, a sensation that made him feel exceptionally uncomfortable.

The Skywater Academy dean's office.

Knock, knock, knock.

"The door is unlocked."

Shui Yue'er pushed the door handle, leading Ye Qingzhou, Ye Shuyuan, and Dugu Bo into the room.

Looking at the elderly woman sitting upright in her chair with a sigh, she said, "Dean, I've brought the people here, Sister."

Aside from the Skywater Academy dean, Shui Qingrou, there was a young girl sitting on the edge of the bed who looked seventy percent similar to Shui Yue'er and appeared to be the same age.

The girl wore an ice-blue long dress, her long hair cascading like a waterfall, her skin as smooth as congealed fat, and her brows and eyes possessed an inherent air of cold, otherworldly grace.

This girl was the primary victim of this incident, the captain of the Skywater Team, Shui Bing'er.

Shui Yue'er sat down beside Shui Bing'er very naturally and patted her on the shoulder.

Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo were the first to introduce their identities.

"This Humble One is Medical Saint Douluo Ye Shuyuan / Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. Our visit to your esteemed academy this time was somewhat rushed and perhaps a bit presumptuous; we hope the Dean will not take offense."

The seven characters "Medical Saint Douluo" and "Poison Douluo" caused Shui Qingrou to stand up in a hurry, showing not the slightest bit of negligence:

"This junior, Skywater Academy Dean Shui Qingrou, greets Senior Medical Saint and Senior Poison."

Whether in terms of cultivation or seniority in age, there was not a single aspect in which Shui Qingrou could surpass Dugu Bo or Ye Shuyuan.
