To put it bluntly, that definitely wouldn't do.
But neither could he leave that girl Liu Erlong to fend for herself.
Liu Erlong was, after all, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Someone from the clan had caused trouble at Skywater Academy, only to end up caught by people from Spirit Hall.
Wouldn't that make the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan lose face?
It looked like he would have to ask the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for help.
The Upper Three Sects stood together, and with Spirit Hall involved this time, those people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't sit idly by.
"Fine, it's settled. Hopefully, Yu Yuanzhen won't find out before this is all over."
Having figured out how to resolve the matter, Yu Luomian began making preparations.
The next day, at Skywater Academy.
The deans of Blazing Fire Academy, Godwind Academy, and Thunder Academy arrived with their most prized students.
With their arrival, all four elemental academies of the Heaven Dou Empire had gathered in Skywater City.
Feng Xiaotian had come from Godwind Academy, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu from Blazing Fire Academy, and Yu Tianxin from Thunder Academy.
At the very front were the Skywater Academy teachers who had asked the three academies for help.
The day the three elemental academies received their request, their deans had rushed over with their students without a moment's delay.
Huo Wu, whose temper was as fiery as ever, immediately charged into the academy, looking for Shrek's group.
"Where are those damned people from Shrek Academy?!"
Seeing Huo Wu all worked up, Feng Xiaotian said casually, "Little Sister Huo Wu, calm down. Maybe we just got here too early."
Already furious, Huo Wu punched Feng Xiaotian as soon as she heard him. "Calm down? My sisters were threatened and forced to offer themselves to someone. How am I supposed to stay calm?"
Huo Wushuang and Yu Tianxin said nothing, carefully observing the reactions of every student at Skywater Academy.
They both noticed that the students and teachers at Skywater Academy seemed far too calm.
They didn't look at all like people who had been harassed by two perverts.
Thunder Academy's dean, Lei Yin, also found it hard to believe. He turned to a teacher from Skywater Academy and asked,
"Are you sure those people from Shrek came here and caused trouble?"
The three teachers who had gone to ask the other elemental academies for help were utterly dumbfounded by how calm the students seemed.
What was going on?
They were just as confused, and had no idea what to make of the situation.
"Um, everyone, why don't we go to the dean's office first?"
"That sounds good," said Huo Fenghua, dean of Blazing Fire Academy, in agreement.
Led by the three female teachers, the people from the three elemental academies headed to Shui Qingrou's office.
Shui Qingrou's office.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were cultivating in Shui Qingrou's office.
Everything that had happened recently had seriously disrupted their cultivation progress.
After finishing her cultivation, Shui Yue'er remembered the three teachers who had gone to seek help from the other elemental academies to deal with Shrek's group. She turned to Shui Qingrou and said,
"Dean, shouldn't we call back the teachers we sent to ask the other elemental academies for help?"
Only then did Shui Qingrou remember. She smacked her forehead.
"Honestly, how could I have forgotten about that?"
As luck would have it, just as Shui Yue'er finished speaking, three knocks sounded at the door.
Shui Bing'er also finished cultivating at that moment.
"Yue'er, get the door."
"Oh, okay." Shui Yue'er went to open it.
As soon as she opened the door, the three teachers from Skywater Academy and the people from the other three elemental academies crowded into the doorway.
The moment they saw Shui Qingrou, the three teachers bowed first. "Dean, we're sorry we came back so late."
Shui Qingrou motioned for them to raise their heads. "There's no need to apologize. I didn't think things through. I forgot to tell you after the matter was settled."
Huo Fenghua, dean of Blazing Fire Academy, Lei Ying, dean of Thunder Academy, and Feng Yuanliu, dean of Godwind Academy, all froze when they heard the matter had been resolved. Their eyes filled with shock.
"It's been resolved?"
Huo Wu immediately rushed into Shui Qingrou's office and went straight to Shui Bing'er, inspecting her from head to toe.
Shui Bing'er was completely bewildered. Before she could even react, Huo Wu was already feeling all over her.
Only after confirming that Shui Bing'er was safe and sound did Huo Wu let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, Bing'er, you're okay. What exactly happened these past few days?"
In response to Huo Wu's questions, Shui Qingrou, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er took turns recounting everything that had happened a few days earlier.
Huo Wu and everyone else present, apart from Shui Qingrou and the other two, were utterly shocked.
"You're saying you invited Medical Saint Douluo Ye Shuyuan and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo here?"
"Not only that, there's also a nine-year-old Soul Ancestor!"
Shui Yue'er nodded in a fluster, clearly intimidated by Huo Wu's presence.
Feng Xiaotian, Yu Tianxin, and Huo Wushuang could no longer sit still.
A nine-year-old Soul Ancestor.
Among those present, even Feng Xiaotian, who had Innate Full Soul Power, was only the strongest Soul Elder among them.
If Shui Bing'er weren't someone who never lied, they would never have believed such heaven-defying talent was real.
Besides, once or twice might be a coincidence, but all three of them said that kid Ye Qingzhou was a Soul Ancestor. There was no way all three were lying.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, and that there seemed to be nothing they could do to help, Lei Ying asked about Shrek's compensation to Skywater Academy.
"What did Shrek say about compensating you?"
Hearing this, Shui Qingrou replied, "For now, Chengye's offer starts at a thousand Gold Soul Coins."
"But I doubt they could afford that even if we sold all those bastards from Shrek."
"Since you're already here, why not stay in Skywater City for today? Have some fun and unwind."
"That sounds good." The other three elemental academy deans agreed with Shui Qingrou's suggestion.
Suddenly, Huo Fenghua spoke up. "By the way, isn't next year's Four Elements Academy Exchange Tournament being held in your Skywater City?"
Shui Qingrou nodded, confirming that it was.
Huo Fenghua continued, "Since it's your turn to host next year, why not call that kid Ye Qingzhou over to compete? What do you think?"
"That might not be a bad idea." Shui Qingrou hesitated. "But would that really be all right?"
Lei Ying and Feng Yuanliu answered in unison, "I have no problem with it."
"Then it's settled."
Huo Wu, Shui Yue'er, and Shui Bing'er began recalling what had happened the day before.
Watching Shui Bing'er out of the corner of her eye, Shui Yue'er leaned toward Huo Wu and whispered,
"Huo Wu, let me tell you, my sister yesterday was..."
