Ning Rongrong had already gone to find Flender to discuss the matter of the forging room.
Lin Ye had nothing to do at the moment, so he found a place to space out.
Cultivation, for him, wasn't very effective.
With that spare time, he might as well find a place to have some fun.
There were still so many places to sign in, so he didn't need to worry about leveling up at all.
"Lin Ye isn't cultivating?"
Zhu Zhuqing was a little puzzled.
It had been two or three days, but she hadn't seen Lin Ye cultivate at all.
She had to cultivate for a period of time every night.
And her daily training was also indispensable.
But Lin Ye?
She hadn't seen him cultivate seriously, yet his Soul Power had increased terrifyingly.
He was already a Soul Emperor now.
"Oh, Ah Ye's situation is quite special, I don't quite understand it either."
Xiao Wu was also unsure, as Lin Ye had never revealed anything about it in his thoughts.
Anyway, he just wandered around every day, and his cultivation naturally increased.
She could only attribute it to Lin Ye's extremely special situation.
It should be said that the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass tribe was quite special.
Up to now, she still firmly believed that Lin Ye was a soul beast in human form.
Otherwise, she couldn't explain how he got his Soul Rings.
Because he hadn't hunted any soul beasts so far.
Yet his Soul Rings were more heaven-defying than the last.
Perhaps Lin Ye's level increase was related to the special nature of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass tribe.
Zhu Zhuqing was very envious. If only she could have these abilities, how good would that be?
Unfortunately, she could only envy him a little.
She was a little excited because formal cultivation would begin tomorrow.
Shrek Academy was very special, and every teacher had profound cultivation.
With them guiding her cultivation, her level should increase quickly.
It was a pity that the academy's conditions were still quite harsh at the moment, incomparable to other Advanced Soul Master Academies.
More importantly, the academy had no level assessment yet.
It was just a Chicken College.
Flender, knowing that Lin Ye wanted to forge some special weapons, readily agreed.
Outstanding people always had privileges!
It wasn't as if he needed to use a bit of space; forging a forging room wouldn't cost much money.
And at this moment, in a certain flat in Soto City.
A group of people in black clothes were holding an emergency meeting.
"Latest news, His Highness the Third Prince has been arrested and sentenced to three years!"
The leading middle-aged man's face was grim.
When he first received the news, he was completely stunned.
They were special spies for the Star Luo Empire's royal family.
After the Third Prince arrived at Shrek Academy, the Star Luo Emperor had arranged for them to enter Soto City.
They had established a stronghold here.
On one hand, they collected intelligence on the Balak Kingdom and the Heaven Dou Empire, and on the other hand, they kept track of Dai Mubai's situation at all times.
It was also a form of protection.
Although he had escaped from Star Luo City, he was still an imperial prince.
The spies had been very low-key these past few years, basically not appearing in front of Dai Mubai, observing from the shadows.
After observing, they would also send Dai Mubai's information to the Star Luo Empire.
Protecting Dai Mubai seemed easy.
Because there were no experts in Soto City itself.
The strength of the Spirit Hall here was also not much to speak of.
What's more, Shrek Academy had three Soul Saints and several Soul Emperors.
With such a lineup, Dai Mubai's life at the academy should have been very easy.
It was just that Dai Mubai often sneaked into Soto City to see his lovers, leaving them speechless.
It seemed the Third Prince's mind was solely on women's bellies.
Alas, with the order given, they could only continue their protection.
Several years passed, and they gradually became numb.
They were even more convinced that Dai Mubai could not inherit the throne!
Compared to the First Prince, Dai Weisi, Dai Mubai was truly too scummy.
He had talent but wasted it.
He went to see women every day; in these past few years, he must have gone through over a hundred women?
The days of protecting Dai Mubai were relatively easy, which also made them gradually lower their guard.
But they never expected that after not watching him closely for just a few days, Dai Mubai would get into trouble.
"Captain, regarding the Third Prince's matter... I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome."
The team members had troubled expressions.
If the Star Luo Emperor found out about this, they would likely be held responsible.
He was caught in the act, and he even injured an ordinary person, finally being arrested by people from Spirit Hall.
The matter was very embarrassing!
If it were exposed, where would the Star Luo royal family's face be?
"Trouble? We still have to rescue him. Are we really going to let the Third Prince be imprisoned for three years?"
The leader gritted his teeth.
He could fool around with women, but couldn't he be more careful?
If it really came to it, he could find women at a brothel.
It was all a matter of money, and there wouldn't be any trouble.
But he had to go after married women and young married women, and now look, trouble has come!
"But if we go to Spirit Hall, the Third Prince's identity will likely be exposed, and Spirit Hall will be even less likely to let him go."
The team member, having lived for decades, understood the intricacies of such matters.
If Spirit Hall knew they had arrested the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire, they probably wouldn't release him directly.
Instead, they would use it as an excuse!
Even if they did release him, they would definitely publicize the matter extensively.
By then, the Star Luo Emperor would be furious.
They, the spies sent to protect Dai Mubai, would also be punished.
The royal family's reputation was more important than anything.
As spies, they knew the severity of the consequences if this were exposed.
No one could bear it.
The leader rubbed his temples; it was indeed troublesome.
He wanted to rescue the person, but he couldn't expose his identity.
What should they do?
"How about paying to settle it?"
A team member suggested.
The simplest solution now was to pay!
The leader's eyes lit up, "That makes sense, pay to settle it, we'll just pay more!"
This was Soto City, merely a medium-sized city.
It probably wouldn't cost much.
"To get someone who was sentenced to three years out, we'll probably have to spend quite a bit. I wonder if a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins will be enough."
"A hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins? That might be a bit difficult. Let's prepare more?"
"This matter, let's inform our superiors and request some funds."
The team members suggested.
Rescuing someone was not a simple matter.
And with so many people in the team, the expenses wouldn't be small either.
"That makes sense. Then let's request two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins from above. I hope it can be resolved soon."
The team leader mused, two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins shouldn't be much of a problem.
The matter wouldn't escalate to Star Luo City.
Star Luo Empire's outposts in some major cities could approve it directly.
Once the money was in hand, with a little maneuvering, the Third Prince would regain his freedom, and this matter would be completely over.
But they hadn't expected that after reporting to their superiors, their superiors would report again.
This time, the request was for one million Gold Soul Coins!
And when it was finally reported to the intelligence department in Star Luo City, it was five million Gold Soul Coins!
Such a huge sum was reported by the intelligence department to the treasury department.
The treasury department was stunned and immediately reported to the Star Luo Emperor.
But that was a story for later. For now, the team leader just wanted to get the person out quickly so the matter could be covered up.
