Their Story

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Xiao Xiao looked away. "What admiration, what longing? I don't understand."

"Your companion is very domineering, isn't he?"

As Dianya asked, she pressed her cheek against Xiao Xiao's, "It must have been tough hiding yourself all this time."

"..."

Xiao Xiao fell silent, her tone a mixture of denial and affirmation.

Dianya is right. Wang Dong is indeed very domineering. If she showed even the slightest sign of weakness, Wang Dong would definitely break off the relationship quickly and force her to leave the team.

Over the past year, quite a few people have confessed their feelings to the captain, but Wang Dong has injured them all.

Because they were teammates, Wang Dong was tolerant of me; because they were teammates, Wang Dong took good care of me.

However, once he shows even the slightest sign of success, what can Wang Dong possibly do...?

Three cuts and six holes?

A white blade goes in, a red blade comes out?

"It must be incredibly frustrating, isn't it? We share the same Covet, the same aspirations, yet our companions always act openly, forcing us to hide in the shadows."

Dianya pressed herself against Xiao Xiao, "But you always had another option."

One side gently conforms to the cheek, while warm, moist air flows in from the side.

Xiao Xiao froze instantly, her face burning hot.

"Companion or younger sister, choose."

Dianya reached out and wrapped her arm around Xiao Xiao's waist. "She is indeed very thin, but her waist and hip curves are amazing. She should have a bright future."

Xiao Xiao's expression froze, and memories flashed through her mind.

The anticipation of the start of school, the shared joy, the teamwork, the transformation in appearance, the glory of being a champion...

In the memory, the face of the Bai Cai appeared, then quickly froze.

[Fear?]

What are you afraid of?

[Go back by yourself while you're awake.]

[If they meet, we won't be able to explain it.]

"Dianya."

Xiao Xiao hugged Dianya, "Sister."

"A very wise choice, shy little sister Xiao Xiao."

Dianya reached out her delicate hand and smoothed the short black hair in front of her. "Let's Rest together. It's only a matter of time."

"Yes, sister."

"Our Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy very much hopes to have academic exchanges with your esteemed academy to avoid mutual suspicion."

"On behalf of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Mingde Hall, I reiterate our position: we do not wish for your esteemed academy to become estranged due to certain matters, and we do not wish for your academy to make any unpeaceful or irrational decisions."

"The Mingde Hall expresses his condolences regarding the matter concerning your students. He also states that Mingde Hall has never colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult, nor has Mingde Hall ever colluded with the Body Sect. The simultaneous occurrence of these events is purely coincidental."

"The Mingde Hall stated that if your academy hadn't been so greedy, Snatch Mingde Hall's precious Soul Tool and refusing to return them, the matter could have been resolved peacefully."

"The Mingde Hall expressed that we deeply sympathize with your institution, but the matter is in the past. We hope to work together to face the future, enhance mutual trust and communication. The dead cannot be brought back to life, but the living remain."

"The Mingde Hall suggested that if your institution also wishes to enhance mutual trust, it would be better for each other to send elite students for academic exchanges."

"Mingde Hall stated that the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy is a pillar of the Sun Moon Empire, and your academy is also a pillar of the three great empires. Soul Engineer and Soul Master can complement each other perfectly, and the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy and your academy can complement each other as well."

"The Mingde Hall stated that we desire peace, but are not afraid of war, and hope that your esteemed institution will carefully consider the matter and take into account the global peace situation."

At the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion, a middle-aged Soul Master recounted the letter, while Yan Shaozhe remained silent. However, within the Sea God Pavilion, many high-ranking members were already blaming each other.

Bang!

Xuan Zi slammed his hand on the table, shattering it. "Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo! You actually betrayed the academy! You sold out the students who died in the Sucker Punch!"

Bang!

Xian Lin'er slammed her hand on the table, "What do these accusations mean? What do the students' lives mean? Can accusations protect the academy? Can sulking bring the dead back to life?"

"Xuan Zi, it takes at least ten years for a student to cultivate to the level of a high-level Soul Master. Aside from sect students and aristocratic students, how many of them agree with revenge? Compared to elite Soul Engineer, how much of a gap are they?"

Qian Duoduo spoke cautiously, "If Mingde Hall really colludes with the Holy Spirit Cult, if Mingde Hall really colludes with the Body Sect, and we make a resolution to resolutely Revenge against them, once implemented, we Titled Douluo will be able to protect ourselves, but many students will definitely die or be injured."

"So what?"

Xuan Zi's eyes widened. "Betrayed Mu En? Betrayed the students who died in the Sucker Punch?"

"Xuan Zi, remember your place, remember to consider the bigger picture."

An old woman spoke up with a warning, then looked at Xian Lin'er Qian Duoduo, "Does Mingde Hall really plan to have an exchange? How much can we learn?"

"The Mingde Hall probably wants to ease the situation. If we propose a dialogue, they will definitely allow it."

Qian Duoduo replied, "How much we can learn is a very complex issue, but we will definitely learn more than they do."

"Training Soul Master and training Soul Engineer are completely different. We learn the theory and production of Soul Tool, and can quickly replicate them. They learn the theory and training of Soul Master, but it will take at least twenty or thirty years to see results. They may feel like they've made a huge profit, but we definitely won't lose out."

"And."

Xian Lin'er replied in kind, "Our proposal for academic exchange should be able to paralyze them and buy us at least ten years. If we produce even one Peerless Douluo, or even a few more Titled Douluo, we can certainly Revenge."

"Xuan Zi is only one barrier away from becoming Peerless Douluo, while Mei'er, Duo Duo, and Yan Shaozhe are all not far from becoming Super Douluo."

"Lexuan and Han Ruoruo from the Inner Academy are not far from being granted titles. Many students can also advance to Douluo within ten years."

"Once our Soul Tool are successfully developed, we will equip them to the elders and elite students. This will allow us to defend the academy or Revenge in kind."

Xuan Zi's face darkened. "So, it seems I really did wrong you, and I should apologize to you. But in the end, you betrayed Mu En and the students in the same way."

"Xuan Zi, shut up."

The old woman spoke a warning, her imposing aura pressing down on Xuan Zi.

"Lin Huiqun, you're rational, you're aloof."

Xuan Zi looked at the old woman and said, "I'm going back to seclusion to cultivate. You two can discuss it yourselves."

"Our promotion takes time."

Cai Mei'er, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, asked, "How much time can academic exchange take?"

"It can take anywhere from three to five years, or even more than ten years."

Qian Duoduo replied, "We require the delivery of elite trainees to guarantee peace for at least three to five years."

An elderly man looked at Qian Duoduo and asked, "They retaliated in kind. Should we be concerned?"

"Elder Song, we're worried about the impact, and so are they."

Qian Duoduo replied, "The fact that Mingde Hall denied colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult Body Sect shows that they are also concerned about the impact on their reputation."

Let's vote.

The old woman spoke gently, "Raise your hand if you agree."

A row of arms quickly rose, indicating that a decision had been made.

"The resolution has been passed. In response to the Mingde Hall, we permit academic exchanges, but the Sun Moon Empire must send elite students, and our students must not be subject to any restrictions."
