The Truth Doesn't Matter

Inside the Xiaoyao Pavilion, Kong Deming was currently designing a new Soul Tool.

Xu Yanli walked right up to his side, sat down, and watched the Soul Tool in his hands.

Xu Yanli waited for quite a while, until Kong Deming finished carving the Soul Array in his hands.

Xu Yanli slowly picked up a cup of water from the side, took a slow sip, and said, "I met a senior from Shrek Academy today. Her Martial Soul seems very similar to yours; it is also a Silver Moon Martial Soul."

Kong Deming, whose expression had been very calm, saw his entire demeanor freeze the moment he heard the words "Silver Moon Martial Soul," his face filled with disbelief.

In his eyes, there was first a flash of confusion, followed immediately by shock, astonishment, and incredulity.

Xu Yanli took another sip of water, watching the changes in Kong Deming's expression.

Xu Yanli spoke up: "The Silver Moon Martial Soul is surely only found in our Sun Moon Empire, and it only appears within your Kong Family and our Imperial Family, right?"

Kong Deming nodded, his voice sounding somewhat dry as he said, "Yes. Over all these years, there has only been one exception: your mother. Her Martial Soul..."

Kong Deming paused, not saying anything more, only shaking his head as he said, "I can only tell you that your mother was persecuted by the Star Luo Empire and fled to the Sun Moon Empire, and later..."

Xu Yanli paused, a few flickers of confusion appearing in his eyes, and he asked, "What was the reason?"

Kong Deming looked at Xu Yanli's expression, sighed heavily, and said, "Angels. Your mother's second Martial Soul was a Six-Winged Angel. It is said to have been an atavism, and then it was seen by her younger brother."

Xu Yanli's eyes flickered. It seemed his guess was correct; the Douluo Continent had always persecuted the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

"Alright, let's not talk about that. The Silver Moon Martial Soul indeed only appears in our Kong Family. I once had a younger sister who awakened with level 1 soul power, and she ran away from home later," Kong Deming sighed and said.

Xu Yanli nodded, "It seems there really is a connection."

Sitting in the chair nearby, a flash of imperceptible brilliance flickered deep in the depths of Xu Yanli's eyes.

It seems things have become even more interesting, haven't they?

Although he had some suspicions before, now that it was confirmed, everything was much more fun.

Who is Zhang Lexuan? She is the undisputed chief of the Shrek Academy Inner Court.

One has to say, Shrek Academy is quite tolerant; such an obvious descendant of the Sun Moon Empire...

However, she is strong and is within Shrek Academy, seemingly possessing extremely high prestige and status. She is even a key focus of cultivation for the Inner Court's core layer. If he could leverage this blood relationship...

Although it might be a bit unfair to her, if she were willing to come to the Sun Moon Empire, she might find a better future.

Kong Deming looked at his disciple's shifting expression and sighed heavily, his demeanor becoming somewhat helpless.

This child, aside from being a bit kinder than that fellow Xu Tianran, is simply a natural member of the Imperial Family!

It is a pity that he has no desire to be emperor, and there is that Star Luo Empire bloodline. Otherwise, if he were pushed to be emperor, he might be able to lead their Sun Moon Empire to another height.

Xu Yanli was silent for a moment before saying, "Teacher, remember this: from today on, your sister's identity was discovered by Shrek Academy, she was killed by Xuan Zi, and in the end, the entire Zhang Family where Zhang Lexuan resides was wiped out."

Kong Deming was stunned for a moment and said, "This, this..."

"The truth doesn't matter; what matters is making everyone believe it..." Xu Yanli said quietly. "We must prepare for the worst. If she is unwilling to return to the Sun Moon Empire, we cannot leave such a combat force for Shrek Academy."

"Rest assured, Your Highness, I understand," Kong Deming sighed and said. "As a minister of the Sun Moon Empire, I understand this much."

Seeing his expression, Xu Yanli subconsciously said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to bring her back alive."

Kong Deming expressed his thanks.

Xu Yanli nodded, then thought of something and asked, "By the way, how is that kid Huo Yuhao doing?"

Kong Deming's expression now revealed a look of satisfaction: "His Martial Soul is as if it were born for our Soul Tools, and his talent for Soul Tools is particularly high. Although his cultivation talent is a bit lacking, after taking the Black Tortoise God Pill, he has now broken through to level 16."

Xu Yanli nodded with satisfaction: "It seems he absorbed it well. Teacher, how is your own cultivation going now?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Kong Deming's eyes lit up instantly, and he said with unusual excitement, "Ever since your soul skill helped me heal last time, I have felt that my meridians are clearly able to cultivate again; they were all blocked before."

Xu Yanli looked him up and down and said, "I will treat you again in a moment, but you need to put the Soul Tool issues aside for now and focus on your cultivation. If I'm not mistaken, after leaving, there is that future Youth Elite Tournament. Shrek Academy is not easy to deal with; when necessary, they don't play by the rules."

Xu Yanli suddenly stood up, and his Martial Soul was perfectly displayed behind him, no longer hiding or acting coy.

That dazzling angel was like a god from the heavens.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Moon Tide: Prayer of Peace." The light of the moon slowly magnified, and the rich lunar essence slowly entered Kong Deming's meridians.

When Xu Yanli read books in the past, he always thought that a healing-type Soul Master could surely cure all wounds, but later, when he practiced, he realized it wasn't so...

Some healing soul skills can only be used to treat specific issues, such as problems with meridians.

After Xu Yanli had permeated all of his meridians, he slowly sat down again, took a sip of water, and then left to return to Shrek Academy.

Dormitory.

"You finally returned, Brother Yanli. We changed our homeroom teacher; we swapped with the class next door. I feel sorry for the students in the next class, poor things," Tang Ling lamented.

"The class next door... is that the class with the son of the Duke of White Tiger?" Xu Yanli touched his chin and asked.

"Yeah, there are quite a lot of nobles among the students in that class. Do you think Zhou Yi will still be so overbearing?" Tang Ling said, lying on the bed and yawning.

Xu Yanli glanced at him, pulled the screen shut, and then slowly said, "She will. Why wouldn't she? This person has a big backer behind her."

"Tsk, such a teacher who gets in through the back door is disgusting," Tang Ling said with some despair. "But I really hope the class next door kicks up a fuss."

Xu Yanli began to circulate his soul power to cultivate, and upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "They might not necessarily dare to make a scene."
