Moonlight Soaring into the Sky! Cai Yue'er's Counterattack!

Leng Yaozhu's voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

Cai Yue'er's body stiffened abruptly, and she turned around.

Looking at Leng Yaozhu, who had somehow appeared behind her, she opened her mouth and then closed it again.

Leng Yaozhu stood under the streetlight.

His amber eyes looked at her calmly, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.

"I'm... taking a walk."

Cai Yue'er's voice sounded weak.

Leng Yaozhu looked at her and asked.

"You've wandered all the way to the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda while taking a stroll?"

Cai Yue'er bit her lip, looked away, and lowered her head.

Their meticulously planned poaching operation was caught red-handed before it even began.

Leng Yaozhu turned around, her back to her, her voice carrying an undeniable certainty.

"Cai Yue'er, I don't care what you're up to."

"But don't touch my disciple. Haven't you had enough of a headache this time?"

Cai Yue'er raised her head, looked at Leng Yaozhu's back, clenched her fist and then relaxed it.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the surging anger, her voice slightly hoarse.

"I was only thinking of Shrek Academy, Heavenly Phoenix Majesty, you're overthinking it."

Leng Yaozhu didn't turn around, and said calmly.

"Go back, this is not a place for you."

Cai Yue'er stood in the shadows at the street corner, her clenched fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly.

She should leave.

Leng Yaozhu had already given her a way out; she accepted it gracefully, and everyone maintained their dignity.

But his legs felt rooted to the spot, and he couldn't take a single step.

If I just leave like this, how am I going to explain it when I get back?

Sister Yue asked, she said, "I went to poach people, but Leng Yaozhu blocked me at the door, and I couldn't even get in."

What will those teachers, who are waiting to see her fail, say about her?

Cai Yue'er took a deep breath and swallowed back her hesitation.

She looked up at Leng Yaozhu's retreating figure as she emerged from the shadows.

"Heavenly Phoenix Majesty, I know your current situation."

Leng Yaozhu paused for a moment, but did not turn around.

Cai Yue'er took a step forward.

"The Qiangu Family's influence in the Spirit Pagoda is growing stronger and stronger, Leng Family has been suffocating under their pressure for years."

"Your position in the Spirit Pagoda may seem as stable as Mount Tai, but in reality, it's teetering on the brink of collapse."

You need allies.

Her voice came from behind.

"Shrek can cooperate with you."

Leng Yaozhu finally turned around.

He looked calmly at Cai Yue'er, his gaze lingering for a moment on her face, which clearly said, "I'm serious."

This woman wasn't acting; she was genuinely desperate.

The dean of Shrek Outer Court personally waited outside the Spirit Pagoda Outpost's headquarters and personally asked for cooperation.

Cai Yue'er wasn't the type to beg or plead with others, so it's surprising that she said those words.

This means the pressure on Shrek Academy is much greater than she imagined.

Leng Yaozhu's lips curled into a slight smile.

How do you want to cooperate with me?

Cai Yue'er felt relieved.

She sensed a softening in Leng Yaozhu's tone.

As long as Leng Yaozhu is willing to talk, she is confident that she can make the deal happen.

It seems the Qiangu Family has truly driven Leng Yaozhu to the brink of desperation.

The power struggles within the Spirit Pagoda are far more intense than what outsiders perceive.

Leng Yaozhu is, she is fighting alone.

She needs an ally who can speak up for her in crucial moments.

And Shrek is the best choice.

Cai Yue'er's lips curled into a smug smile, her joy barely concealed, yet she still tried her best to maintain a composed demeanor.

"How exactly to cooperate requires further careful consideration."

But there's one kid, Bai Yuan, I hope he can come to Shrek for an exchange program."

Leng Yaozhu looked at her, her eyes revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Oh, I didn't expect Shrek would want to cooperate with me!"

"Go on!"

Cai Yue'er sat opposite her, becoming more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, her voice even becoming a little lighter.

"Bai Yuan, by following you, will at most become a core disciple of the Spirit Pagoda."

But coming to Shrek is different; he can access the best educational resources on the entire continent.

They can also participate in Shrek's inner court selection, and have a greater chance of entering the Sea God Pavilion in the future.

Besides, your Leng Family is currently being suffocated by the Qiangu Family. Don't you want to find a backer?

Leng Yaozhu looked at her.

Cai Yue'er took a sip of water and continued speaking.

Completely unaware that the expression in Leng Yaozhu's eyes was gradually turning cold.

"I can talk to Sister Yue. As long as Bai Yuan comes to Shrek, the cooperation between the Leng Family and Shrek can be put on the agenda."

"No matter how strong the Qiangu Family is, can they be stronger than Shrek?"

Think about it carefully.

"Are you done talking?"

Leng Yaozhu's voice wasn't loud, but it made Cai Yue'er stop talking abruptly.

She finally noticed Leng Yaozhu's gaze.

There was no anger or mockery in those amber eyes.

There was only a chilling indifference, like looking at a stranger.

"What do you mean?"

Cai Yue'er's voice sounded a little weak.

Leng Yaozhu stood up and looked down at her. Her voice wasn't loud, but every word she spoke was like a nail driven into Cai Yue'er's ears.

"My disciple does not need to go to Shrek."

"My Leng Family doesn't need Shrek as a backer."

She turned around, walked towards the door, and opened it.

"You can leave now, Dean Cai. I appreciate your kindness."

"But let's not let it happen again."

Leng Yaozhu stood at the door, looking at her with a calm gaze, as if she were looking at a stranger.

"Dean Cai, not everyone wants to go to your Shrek."

These words were like a needle, piercing the softest, most untouchable part of Cai Yue'er's heart.

What is she saying?

Don't want to go to Shrek?

Shrek.

That sacred temple to which she dedicated her life, which she regarded as her glory and faith, that academy that hundreds of millions of Soul Master across the continent looked up to.

That legendary place that has nurtured countless heroes, and even the God King Tang San once studied there.

To be rejected so casually, even humiliated?

Cai Yue'er's pupils dilated slightly. Blood rushed to her head in that instant.

Her voice rose several octaves, becoming so shrill that she herself didn't even realize it.

"Oh? So you intend to become an enemy of Shrek?"

Leng Yaozhu looked at her without saying a word.

That silence was more suffocating than any rebuttal.

"With your behavior, your position as Vice Pagoda Master is in jeopardy!"

Cai Yue'er's voice trembled, not from fear, but from anger.

That kind of anger when your faith is belittled, denied, and trampled upon.

"Ha, your Leng Family, I'm afraid they'll have to wait!"

Before the words were finished, a crisp sound rang out.

Cai Yue'er felt a blur before her eyes, a burning pain on her cheek, and she flew to the side like a kite with a broken string.

Her body slid several meters across the smooth floor until she hit the wall and came to a stop.

She lay on the ground, half her face swollen, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

My ears were ringing and I was seeing stars.

She looked up at Leng Yaozhu, who was still standing at the door, her posture almost unchanged.

This woman.

They really did it.

She thought Leng Yaozhu was just being verbally abusive and that she wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Shrek Academy members on the Spirit Pagoda's territory.

She had thought of everything, but she never imagined that Leng Yaozhu would actually hit her.

Leng Yaozhu withdrew her hand, looked down at Cai Yue'er lying on the ground, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Cai Yue'er's ears.

This is the first time, and it won't be the last.

What she hates most is anyone trying to take advantage of her disciples.

Leng Yaozhu's words had even faded, Cai Yue'er had already stood up straight.

She covered her cheek, which was swollen from being slapped.

The previous embarrassment and panic were completely overwhelmed by a bone-chilling humiliation at this moment.

All of it burned into an out-of-control fire in her heart.

"You!"

Her voice was squeezed out from the deepest part of her throat, carrying a kind of madness that even she herself found unfamiliar.

"You look down on me!"

The moment she finished speaking, a surge of Soul Power, so immense it was terrifying, exploded from her body.

A moonlit ray of light shot into the sky.
