Vina and Long Aotian Arrive, Demanding Shrek's Accountability

Gulp.

Dai Yueheng's Adam's apple bobbed as he sensed the killing intent; the sword at his throat could slit his neck at any moment.

This remnant of the Martial Soul Hall was not joking.

Ye Que truly intended to kill him.

In this moment, he felt fear.

Dai Yueheng was genuinely terrified that this impulsive Angel remnant would commit murder in the middle of the street.

Just then, Dai Huabin roared from the side, "We were wrong, isn't it enough that we admit we were wrong? We'll pay, we'll pay!"

He truly wanted to live; he did not want to die here.

If they could drag this out a little longer, the Heaven Dou Empire's guard patrol would arrive, and they would be saved.

Ye Que chuckled softly, cast a cold, sidelong glance at Dai Yueheng, and said, "If you want to live, apologize to the owner, and then shout 'I am a sinner' one hundred times."

Humiliation—this was naked, unadulterated humiliation.

Dai Yueheng was so furious he wanted to kill.

But as the saying goes, those who understand the times are wise; he did not want to die yet.

Subsequently.

Dai Yueheng gritted his teeth and said with extreme humiliation, "I am a sinner..."

Ye Que barked, "Did you not eat? Speak up!"

Dai Yueheng clenched his teeth, his fingernails digging into his palms without him realizing it, wishing he could drag Ye Que down to hell with him.

But he could not die; he had to have his revenge, to return the shame he suffered today to Ye Que a hundredfold.

Thinking of this, Dai Yueheng shouted with extreme rage, "I am a sinner, I am a sinner, I am a sinner..."

Suddenly, the Angel God Sword flicked upward, leaving a shocking, bloody gash across Dai Yueheng's face.

Ye Que spat on the ground and said indifferently, "I thought you were courting death, but it turns out you're afraid of dying too? This scar is to let you know: don't think that no one can deal with you."

Dai Yueheng kept his face dark and said nothing, engraving this humiliation into his heart.

Afterward, under the gaze of everyone present, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin apologized to the restaurant owner, produced a large bag of Gold Soul Coins as compensation, and then stumbled out of the restaurant.

A large crowd of citizens clapped and cheered.

Finally, someone had dared to discipline the arrogant students of Shrek Academy.

This youth seemed to be from the Angel Clan, a guardian of the continent.

It was the Angel Clan that upheld the interests of the commoners.

They were heroes!

Just as everyone was cheering and jumping for joy, a column of armored soldiers ran over from the main street nearby, wielding various Soul Tools to surround Ye Que, Dai Yueheng, and the others.

This was the Heaven Dou Empire's law enforcement squad; every member possessed a cultivation of at least the sixth ring.

The commotion just now had been too great and had long since alerted the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, who had sent people directly to suppress it.

From within the ranks, Princess Vina of the Heaven Dou Empire and Long Aotian of the Body Sect stepped out in armor, sweeping their gazes over Dai Yueheng, Ye Que, and the others.

Dai Yueheng was overjoyed, believing his chance had arrived.

He had to use his status as the Duke's eldest son to pressure the Heaven Dou Empire into severely punishing the Martial Soul Hall remnant.

Ye Que was not afraid in the slightest; he did not believe the Heaven Dou Empire and the Body Sect would favor Shrek Academy and become Shrek's lapdogs.

"Young Master, did we cause trouble?"

Yu Mengdi, her intoxication having faded slightly, leaned in and whispered.

Ye Que said nothing, squeezing Yu Mengdi's small hand to reassure her that he would take responsibility for everything.

Ye Wuqing also gave them a look, signaling them not to be afraid.

If the sky fell, the Dean and Senior Guang Yu would hold it up; the Heavenly Soul Royal Family would not make things difficult for the disciples of Zhengtian Academy.

At this moment, Long Aotian stood with his hands behind his back, scanned the group, and said indifferently, "I heard people from Shrek were causing trouble in the city? Whoever is a student of Shrek, step forward voluntarily."

Dai Yueheng stepped out and said, "It is I."

Dai Huabin hesitated for a moment before stepping out as well.

Long Aotian frowned and raised a hand, saying, "Take them all to the Interrogation Room!"

He had never held any fondness for people from Shrek, and hearing that Shrek was causing trouble in the city only made him more annoyed.

Subsequently, the Heavenly Soul Royal Family's law enforcement squad took Ye Que, Dai Yueheng, and the others away, leaving the citizens of the Heaven Dou Empire to look at one another in confusion.

One hour later, inside the Interrogation Room.

Dai Yueheng, his soul power sealed by a Soul Tool, looked up at Long Aotian in front of him and said:

"I presume you have already investigated the ins and outs of the matter. I will not say a single word until our academy's teachers arrive. The public security of your Heaven Dou Empire is truly a disappointment to me."

"By the way, let me introduce myself. I am the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire. My father is the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, and the other person is my younger brother. We were simply having a meal here when we were framed by remnants of the Martial Soul Hall, only to be suppressed by those few people working together."

"This matter was our fault from the beginning, but the core reason still lies with your royal family. I hope your royal family can provide a reasonable solution, or else hand Ye Que over to our academy to deal with. Otherwise, this matter is far from over."

"I believe the Heaven Dou Empire would not want to offend the Star Luo Empire, the White Tiger Duke, and Shrek Academy all at the same time, would they?"

After entering the Interrogation Room, with the backing of the Star Luo Empire and the academy, Dai Yueheng had no scruples and went straight into full-blown tirade mode.

He was the eldest son of a duke, an inner court student of Shrek Academy, and a future powerhouse of the continent; how could he swallow this insult?

Long Aotian listened expressionlessly, finished reading the file in his hands, and the veins on his forehead began to bulge.

Dine and dash, force the shop owner to seek reimbursement from the royal family, refuse to acknowledge their own wrongdoing even after being taught a lesson, and show contempt for the laws of the Heaven Dou Empire...

Were these Shrek Academy students truly so lawless? Did they have any respect for the empire or any sense of awe left in their hearts?

Contempt—this was naked, blatant contempt for the Heaven Dou Empire!

Princess Vina, standing to the side, also furrowed her brows, sensing that the threat posed by this ticking time bomb known as Shrek was growing ever larger.

To despise imperial law and bully the commoners of the Heaven Dou Empire—it was simply going too far.

Was this how their teachers instructed their students?

Long Aotian set down the file, looked at Dai Yueheng with a calm face, and said indifferently: "Here, you are a person who has violated the laws of the Heavenly Soul. All of your identities are useless to us. I do not care who you are; we uphold the law impartially."

"Furthermore, the details of the facts you stated differ from what our investigation has uncovered. We suspect you of framing others."

Dai Yueheng's body trembled, and he said with great agitation: "But we, the people of Shrek, have been bullied in your Heaven Dou Empire! Shouldn't you give me an explanation? Are you going to let the real culprits go free? Those are remnants of the Martial Soul Hall!"

"I refuse to accept this! I am dissatisfied with your attitude toward handling this case. I want to see His Majesty of your Heaven Dou Empire."

Vina said indifferently: "I am sorry, student Dai Yueheng. His Majesty has no time to attend to this matter. In view of the fact that your actions have caused significant losses to our empire, we will discuss the matter of compensation once your Shrek teachers arrive."

"A word of advice: you are merely a student. You have no right to despise the empire. There is no need to use your status or your academy to pressure us. Shrek is not yet strong enough to look down upon any empire."

Dai Yueheng sneered and did not reply.

Without Shrek Academy, the three great empires would have long since fallen; where would you be enjoying your comfortable lives now?

Long Aotian frowned and asked: "You are not convinced?"

"No..."

Dai Yueheng did not want to waste his breath on these people; he only wanted to wait for his teacher to come and take him back, so he asked casually: "How do you intend to deal with the remnants of the Martial Soul Hall?"
