At dusk, the light of Golden Ancient Tree gradually becomes softer, and the entire Shrek Academy is enveloped in a warm golden halo.
Sea God Pavilion is located deep in the ancient trees. It is a simple wooden building with no gorgeous decoration, but it has a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
The space in the pavilion is wide, with a long wooden table in the center, and several Soul Guidance Lamp lamps are placed on the table, emitting a soft light.
Both sides of the long table were already full of people.
Sitting at the head of the table was a young man who looked to be in his twenties.
He has an elegant face, a gentle temperament, and neatly combed black hair, but there is a heart-stopping edge hidden deep in his eyes. He wears a light blue robe, with the emblem of a silver spear embroidered on his chest.
It is Shrek Academy Sea God Pavilion Master, Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming who has the title of "supporting the sky and exploring the underworld".
To his right, sat an old woman in Jingchai cloth. She had silver hair and a haggard face, but her eyes were exceptionally bright, as if she could see through people's hearts. She was holding a wooden stick in both hands and closed her eyes slightly, as if she didn't care about everything around her.
But everyone who is familiar with her knows that this ordinary-looking old woman is none other than one of the most powerful elders of the Shrek Academy - Light and Dark Douluo Long Yeyue, who is also a Limit Douluo level powerhouse, Sea God Pavilion deputy master.
To the left of Yun Ming, sat an old red-haired man with a rough face, splayed beard and hair, and a fiery aura. He crossed his arms across his chest and leaned on the back of the chair, looking impatient - Red Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi, Wu Zhangkong's master.
Next to Zhuo Shi is an old man with hair and beard like flames.
He was wearing a dark robe stained with metal powder. His fingers were rough and the knuckles were distinct. At first glance, he was someone who had been dealing with the forging bench all year round - Blazing Dragon Douluo Feng Wuyu, Shrek Academy. The only eighth-level Saint Craftsman, nicknamed "Old Madman".
Further to the side, there is a gentle-looking woman. She is wearing a white dress, with long dark green hair draped smoothly on her shoulders. She has a soft temperament, and her eyes are filled with compassion and love--Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li, Yun Ming's wife, Level 98 Super Douluo.
The other elders also took their seats one after another, including men and women, old and young, all of whom were powerful figures on the mainland.
Yun Ming glanced at everyone and spoke slowly.
"I called everyone here today because of one thing."
He raised his hand, and a light curtain unfolded above the long table, and a young man's figure appeared on it - with long blond hair, golden eyes, and a stern face, it was Long Yuan.
"This Dragon God Douluo, who has caused a lot of commotion on the mainland recently, must be familiar to everyone, right?"
On the light curtain, the appearance of Long Yuan is clearly visible.
"Long Yuan?" Zhuo Shi raised his eyebrows, "Is that the boy who crippled Elder Cai's mother-in-law?"
Yun Ming nodded.
"Didn't he come to Shrek City recently? Today I would like to ask you what to do."
Speaking of which, Yun Ming personally pressed the matter three years ago and never brought it to the table. After all, they really didn't care.
Zhuo Shi snorted coldly, "Elder Cai Madam is used to being domineering outside. It's not unusual for her to be kicked on the iron plate. Her skills are not as good as others, so what if she dies? It's embarrassing to come back and complain if you can't beat someone."
He has always disliked Cai Yue'er, let alone that incident three years ago, when the students who were targeted were his disciples. With the situation like this, he would not look down upon Cai Yue'er.
Long Yeyue opened his eyes and glanced at Zhuo Shi.
"Zhuo Shi, Cai Yue'er is my Shrek's Pavilion Elder no matter what. She was crippled. As a member of the Sea God Pavilion, do you have this attitude?"
Zhuo Shi didn't take it seriously. "What I said is the truth. She bullied the young first, so who can she blame if she loses? Besides, that kid didn't kill her, so he was showing mercy."
Long Yeyue's face darkened and he was about to have a seizure when Feng Wuyu suddenly spoke.
"You said that Long Yuan... is the legendary genius who became the eighth-level Saint Craftsman at the age of eighteen?"
Yun Ming nodded.
Feng Wuyu's eyes lit up and he tapped his fingers on the table. "Interesting. I have never seen the 18-year-old eighth-level Saint Craftsman in my entire life."
He looked at Yun Ming with a bit of eagerness in his eyes.
"Pavilion Master, I would like to meet this little guy."
Zhuo Shi glanced at him. "You Old Madman, why are you going to meet others?"
Feng Wuyu said confidently, "Let's discuss and learn about forging skills. We are both blacksmiths. It is rare to meet an eighth-level person with such a genius. Wouldn't it be a pity not to meet him?"
Zhuo Shi sneered and said no more.
Long Yeyue said in a deep voice, "Sparring? Feng Wuyu, you Sea God Pavilion Elder, how would you behave if you go to spar with an enemy?"
Feng Wuyu didn't take it seriously. "What's wrong with the discussion of forging skills? It's not a fight. Besides, I, Shrek Academy, have always been known for my tolerance, why can't I even meet someone? As for anything else, what does it have to do with me?"
Long Yeyue's face turned pale and he was about to retort when Ya Li spoke softly.
"Elder Long, Mr. Feng is just curious, you don't need to be angry."
Long Yeyue glanced at Ya Li, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.
Ya Li looked at Yun Ming and asked softly, "Brother Ming, what do you think?"
Yun Ming was silent for a while and then slowly spoke.
"Long Yuan is not a simple person. He broke through Titled Douluo at the age of only twenty-one. He is also the vice president of the Blacksmith Association. He has always had a close relationship with Zhen Hua. I don't know how much he has gotten involved with Spirit Pagoda recently. In just a few years, his rise has been so fast that it has never been seen before."
He looked at the figure of Long Yuan on the light screen with deep eyes.
"Regarding the matter of Elder Cai, I think it is better not to act rashly for the time being."
Long Yeyue suddenly raised his head. "Pavilion Master!"
Yun Ming raised his hand and stopped her.
"Elder Long, I know you protect the honor of Shrek. But this matter, Cai Yue'er Pavilion Elder did make a mistake first. As Pavilion Elder, she put pressure on the organizing committee, made an exception to allow Ye Xinglan to participate, and also made that child's opponent withdraw from the competition - these things will not be good for my Shrek's reputation if word spreads."
Long Yeyue's face was ashen, but he said no more.
Yun Ming continued, "What's more, Long Yuan has a complicated background. Blacksmith Association and Spirit Pagoda all have close contact with him. I heard that there is another Hidden Clan behind him... If we act rashly, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary disputes. We will start recruiting students soon, so let's stabilize it first."
Feng Wuyu nodded. "The Pavilion Master is right. Behind that guy are standing Zhen Hua and Leng Yaozhu, a Divine Craftsman, and a Limit Douluo. They are not easy to mess with."
Zhuo Shi snorted, "What are you afraid of? Who have I, Shrek Academy, been afraid of?"
Feng Wuyu rolled his eyes. "It's not that I'm afraid, but it's unnecessary. Is it worth offending two big forces for one Cai Yue'er?"
Zhuo Shi opened his mouth and did not refute.
Because this involves a core issue, Cai Yue'er is already dead and can't be cured. This is certified by Ya Li. Yun Ming even tried to communicate with Golden Ancient Tree for treatment, but it still didn't work.
So, is it really appropriate to confront such a grown-up genius for the sake of a useless person?
Long Yeyue stood up, his eyes bright.
"Yun Ming boy, I have to go and meet that Long Yuan in person."
Yun Ming looked at her. "Elder Long, what do you mean?"
Long Yeyue said coldly, "He destroyed my Shrek's Pavilion Elder. If we just forget about it, outsiders would think that I Shrek have no one. I want to see what he is capable of."
Yun Ming was silent for a while and asked, "What are Elder Long going to do?"
Long Yeyue said calmly, "It's just a discussion. If we stop talking, we won't hurt our harmony."
However, only she herself knows what her true purpose is.
Yun Ming shook his head. "Elder Long, who on the mainland doesn't know about your old strength? You go to him to discuss, that is not a discussion, it is a demonstration. What's more, three years ago he was able to defeat Elder Cai with only seven rings, but now he is Titled Douluo, and his cultivation level is unknown. If you go..."
