Inner Core Suspected to Belong to an Auspicious Beast

"Still early?"

Yang Duo looked at Ning Que with a puzzled expression.

In his view, now is the best time to poach talent.

"Indeed, in the current situation, as long as you, Uncle Yang, put in more effort, there's a high chance you can successfully poach them. But what about later?"

"Do you really want Cai Mei'er to live with the label of 'mistress' forever?"

"With such an incident, wherever Cai Mei'er goes in the future, she will inevitably become someone who is pointed at and gossiped about, and the reputation of my Nine Treasures Glazed Sect will also be damaged as a result."

Ning Que knew that Yang Duo was too anxious and eager to improve, so he explained things to him while calming his restless heart.

"Perhaps you are right?"

"But, in that case, it seems like there's absolutely no solution to this problem?"

Yang Duo was not stupid; he quickly figured out the crux of the matter.

In retrospect, he made a huge mistake and took a wrong step.

"It's simple. Make the other party's reputation even worse, make him the one who actually cheated, and portray Cai Mei'er as someone who has suffered all kinds of grievances and can't bear the humiliation."

"In short, the fault lies not with Cai Mei'er, but with another party involved."

"If there's anything wrong with Cai Mei'er, it's that she was blind and fell in love with the wrong person."

The other party involved in Ning Que is naturally Yan Shaozhe.

They'll dig into the corner, and they'll want the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect too, but they'll still want to preserve their good reputation.

"Young Master, you must try harder and put in more effort!"

Yang Duo's eyes lit up immediately when he heard Ning Que say that.

Although he didn't know the specifics of how to do it, he never failed to succeed in anything Ning Que promised.

"Uncle Yang, you can rest assured about this."

"Your primary task right now is to break through to a higher level. I hope that next time you fight Yan Shaozhe, you will be able to completely suppress him."

Ning Que smiled calmly, giving the impression that everything was under his control.

Elder Jin had already made arrangements regarding Yan Shaozhe's matter; now all that was needed was a trigger to detonate it.

Zhou Yi was the catalyst.

However, they certainly couldn't be allowed to ignite this situation, as doing so would leave too obvious a trace.

Since it's already been set up, it's better to let the Shrek Academy's own people detonate it.

Mu En wants reforms, so let's give him a hand and make the reforms even more thorough.

At the same time, Yan Shaozhe woke up from his coma.

"Mei'er..."

Yan Shaozhe instinctively called out to his wife, but received no response. A look of resentment instantly flashed in his eyes.

His wife was estranged from him, his disciple was consumed by Evil Fire thoughts, and neither of his loved ones were by his side.

For a moment, Yan Shaozhe felt an unprecedented sense of desolation and loneliness.

He seemed to have become completely isolated.

Why did it turn out like this?

"No, no, someone must be plotting against me!"

Yan Shaozhe kept recalling the events that had recently occurred to him.

He quickly realized the crux of the problem.

"Ning Que!"

"Yes, it's Ning Que!"

Ning Que was involved in every single one of them.

It's true that people of the same kind understand each other best. After calming down and thinking carefully, Yan Shaozhe quickly found the mastermind behind it all.

Although he had no direct evidence, every guess pointed to Ning Que.

Only at this moment did Yan Shaozhe understand where the root of the problem lay.

It all started when he arranged for Ye Guyi and Ning Que to go on a mission to the Dou Ling Empire.

"As the dean, I only wanted to give you all some training, and you little beast, is this how you retaliate against me?"

Yan Shaozhe's eyes were filled with a sharp killing intent and tyranny.

But he forced himself to endure it.

The Titled Douluo protecting Ning Que was far too powerful; he was no match for him.

"You little beast, don't give me a chance, or you're dead for sure."

Yan Shaozhe silently made a vow in his heart.

He has already added Ning Que to his kill list.

After realizing that it was all Ning Que's scheme, Yan Shaozhe knew that he had misunderstood his wife Cai Mei'er.

He felt he should find an opportunity to apologize to his wife and ease the stalemate.

Ning Que was unaware that he had been targeted by Yan Shaozhe.

After completing the transaction with the Mysterious Underworld Sect, Dai Yueheng visited them under the guise of a formality.

"Junior brother, I need your help!"

Dai Yueheng got straight to the point from the start, and adopted a very humble attitude.

He also knew that because of his previous pursuit of Ye Guyi, his relationship with Ning Que wasn't very good.

Now that I'm asking for help, I should be as humble as possible.

"Senior Dai, what are you saying? Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do for you."

Ning Que was not enthusiastic towards Dai Yueheng.

Ultimately, the White Tiger Duke Mansion is too weak and doesn't have much of value, so it's not worth expending too much effort on it.

As for cooperating with Dai Yueheng, let's wait until he becomes the White Tiger Duke. Right now, Dai Yueheng is far inferior in terms of both status and strength.

Dai Yueheng was a smart man, so he naturally understood the meaning behind Ning Que's words. He seemed to agree, but in reality, he was refusing.

Ultimately, the definition of what he is capable of is in the other party's hands.

"Junior Brother, there is a demon beast's inner core in my White Tiger Duke Mansion. Although this demon beast's inner core is only ten thousand years old, it possesses two attributes: ultimate light and ultimate fire. I wonder if Junior Brother would be interested?"

Dai Yueheng knew that ordinary conditions would hardly move Ning Que, unless it was Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. The problem was, their White Tiger Duke Mansion really didn't have that kind of wealth.

So he wanted to find another way and tried to make a deal with Ning Que using something that could help Ye Guyi.

Everyone in the White Tiger Duke Mansion knew that this strange inner core was a valuable item, but no one was able to utilize it.

It was clearly just the remnant of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, yet even Titled Douluo couldn't absorb its power. This was truly because the will contained within its inner core was too extraordinary.

After much deliberation, Dai Yueheng decided to use it for the transaction.

"It would be a great fortune to witness such a peculiar inner core in the world!"

Upon hearing Dai Yueheng's words, Ning Que immediately became interested.

Is it possible for the inner core of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to possess two extreme attributes?

Surprisingly, he actually knew of such a Soul Beast.

The problem is, how could that Soul Beast, currently being carefully protected in the Star Dou Great Forest, possibly die and have its inner core obtained by the White Tiger Duke Mansion?

To be fair, Dai Yueheng piqued his interest.
