"Hey! Senior Zhentian, why is your face red?"

Looking at Yuanen Zhentian, whose face was flushed and eyes were bloodshot, Na'er asked curiously.

"That's being energetic." Gu Yue rolled her eyes at Na'er, but there was something else she didn't say: that's being energetic with anger.

At this moment, Yuanen Zhentian seemed oblivious to the outside world, his mind filled only with the echoes of his granddaughter sweeping the square at the Shrek Academy.

"Senior Zhentian, what are you thinking about?"

It wasn't until Jiang Xiu waved his hand in front of Yuanen Zhentian that Yuanen Zhentian came to his senses.

"Young friend Jiang, are you sure Yehui is earning her resources by doing tasks and working at the Shrek Academy? Shrek Academy hasn't provided Yehui with any financial assistance?" Yuanen Zhentian steadied himself, but his voice still carried an barely suppressed anger.

Jiang Xiu considered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "As far as I know, that's how it is. Otherwise, Yuanen wouldn't be unable to afford the cost of making the One-Word Battle Armor."

"Great! Great! Really great!" Upon hearing this, Yuanen Zhentian shouted repeatedly, and a terrifying aura, as deep as an abyss and as deep as a prison, emanated from his body.

He had thought that his granddaughter could cultivate peacefully after entering Shrek Academy, but little did he know that things would turn out this way.

When he asked Shrek Academy to provide Yuanen Yehui with the resources she needed for cultivation, Shrek Academy readily agreed!

If Shrek Academy couldn't have done it, he could have simply refused and found another way to get the resources to Yehui. But after the Shrek Academy agreed, this is how they acted!

Yuanen Yehui was already full of hardships, and now it's like this at the Shrek Academy. You have to know that Yuanen Yehui was extremely young Shi Nian she entered Shrek Academy.

The thought of his granddaughter not only being helpless but also having to earn cultivation resources on her own, working and earning money during the most precious period of her cultivation, filled him with heartache.

More than anything, he was angry at the Shrek Academy for failing to keep its promise, and also felt guilty for not paying attention to Yehui.

Seeing Yuanen Zhentian's expression, Jiang Xiu's purple eyes flickered slightly, as if he understood something.

Perhaps Yuanen Zhentian entrusted Yuanen Yehui to the Shrek Academy for training because of his trust in the Shrek Academy. It wasn't until Yuanen Yehui was about to become Titled Douluo that Yuanen Zhentian Yuanen Yehui paying attention to her again. By then, Shrek Academy had already been destroyed, so all of this was forgotten.

However, because of Long Yeyue, Yuanen Zhentian has taken notice of it ahead of time.

"Tsk, Long Yeyue is truly resourceful!" Jiang Xiu thought to himself, silently giving Long Yeyue a thumbs up.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were his allies, or spies sent by other forces to the Shrek Academy.

If they can successfully win over the Yuanen Family, Long Yeyue will be the biggest contributor!

Suddenly, Jiang Xiu realized that this Long Yeyue looked remarkably like a certain Chicken Leg Douluo from ten thousand years ago...

"Senior Zhentian, Yuanen is at the Shrek Academy. If you want to know the details, you can go and ask Yuanen yourself," Gu Yue said softly.

Upon hearing this, Yuanen Zhentian's face twitched, and he opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

In Yuanen Yehui's heart, he is no longer a kind grandfather, but an enemy who imprisoned his father and murdered his mother.

Moreover, he didn't even fulfill his duties as a grandfather. In order to motivate Yuanen Yehui to work hard in his cultivation, he even spoke ill of Yuanen Yehui when Yuanen Yehui left the family, threatening to imprison his father for life and remove his father's name from the family genealogy.

In a family, there is no more vicious humiliation than being expelled from the family genealogy.

Looking back now, he deserved to die!

"What's wrong, senior? Don't you love your granddaughter?" Na'er tilted her head and asked clearly.

"No! Let's not talk about that now." Yuanen Zhentian suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart and shook his head.

However, it was clearly visible that the Limit Douluo, who was close to the Quasi-God realm, had slightly red eyes, and his steady voice trembled slightly.

After a moment of silence, Yuanen Zhentian seemed to have made up his mind and slowly said, "Young friend Jiang, let's talk about what you just mentioned."

"If our original Titan family were to help the Body Sect, how should the reward be calculated?"

After learning about Yuanen Yehui's current situation, he realized that the Yuanen Family should no longer remain hidden from the world; they must come out into the world!

He was the patriarch of a clan, and also a grandfather. In the business deal proposed by Jiang Xiu, he seemed to see an opportunity to bring Yuanen Yehui back to the clan.

Over the years, he imprisoned Yuanen Tiandang and sent Yuanen Yehui away, not only to allow Yuanen Yehui to cultivate properly, but also to quell the resentment in the hearts of his clansmen.

This has nothing to do with strength or weakness, but simply about ensuring the cohesion of the family.

If he leads the Yuanen Family to prosperity, then there will naturally be a possibility of welcoming Yuanen Yehui to the clan.

Of course, he would pay a visit to the Shrek Academy later to get to the bottom of things and demand a proper explanation regarding the resources.

"My master is currently in seclusion, and we need to discuss the specifics further." Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he said this after some thought, before continuing seriously:

"But I can guarantee that as long as the nobles help protect my sect, all Titled Douluo- level experts will be able to wear Three-Word Battle Armor, and anyone at the Limit Douluo level will be able to upgrade their Three-Word Battle Armor to Four-Word Battle Armor."

Everything else is fake, grandiose, and empty; during this period, Battle Armor is the only thing that sells well and is highly valued.

Trading a few pieces of Battle Armor for the protection of a clan's powerful warriors is a sure-fire way to make money.

Moreover, the Ant Emperor, who would rather exhaust himself than let others suffer, is now Saint Craftsman, so forging Three-Word Battle Armor is a piece of cake for him.

Furthermore, his involutionary nature continues to manifest, and he is currently accumulating insights into forging techniques. Once he consults his teacher about the insights gained from Divine Craftsman, it is estimated that the Ant Emperor will be able to further intensify his involutionary tendencies.

"This... this is so embarrassing." Hearing Jiang Xiu's assurance, Yuanen Zhentian's eyes gleamed. He feigned reluctance in his tone, but his hand was already outstretched in agreement.

"Snap!" Jiang Xiu smiled slightly and reached out to shake hands with Yuanen Zhentian.

The alliance between the two major powers has now been tentatively established.

"Senior Zhentian, could you tell me the strength of your noble family's experts? This would make it easier to forge Battle Armor," Jiang Xiu asked meaningfully.

"Hmm..." Yuanen Zhentian pondered for a moment, "Our clan currently has a total of eight Titled Douluo- level experts, four of whom are ordinary Titled Douluo, and three... two Super Douluo, and one Limit Douluo."

"This doesn't seem right. That only makes seven people in total, but didn't you say there were eight Titled Douluo?"

Na'er, who was proficient in arithmetic up to 100, counted on her fingers and immediately realized something was wrong.

There's clearly one person missing.

"Let's not talk about that. He's a cripple anyway, so let's not waste young friend Jiang's resources," Yuanen Zhentian said calmly, but a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"A useless person? Another fallen genius?" Na'er said knowingly.

Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he naturally knew who the person was. So he said softly, "Clan Chief Yuanen, why don't you tell me? There might be a chance to cure him."

"Very well, then I shall speak." A hint of struggle flashed in his eyes, Yuanen Zhentian sighed, "This man is none other than my eldest son Yuanen Tiandang, who is also Yehui's father."

"Yuanen Tiandang has exceptional talent. He broke through to the Soul Douluo realm at the age of twenty and continued his rapid advancement, becoming Titled Douluo at the young age of twenty-five. Then, within five years, on his thirtieth birthday, he successfully broke through to the Super Douluo!"

"This is the first time in the entire history of our Yuanen Family, which means that Tiandang will definitely be able to surpass me in the future and reach the Quasi-God realm of the peak of the Soul Master. At that time, I even thought about directly passing on my position to Yuanen Tiandang."

At this point, Yuanen Zhentian's emotions became noticeably more intense, and his expression showed more pride as a father.

"But after that great calamity, Yuanen Tiandang was completely devastated, even suffering a fundamental damage, and is now a muddle-headed, useless person."

"Unless it's Healing with the essence blood of a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape Soul Beast, the damage to the foundation is irreparable, but how is that possible...?"

Yuanen Zhentian shook his head slightly, his tone mocking.

"Haven't you heard that there's always a way out? Senior Zhentian, anything is possible." Jiang Xiu said with a smile, his eyes gleaming.

"Perhaps the Yuanen Family will find Healing after joining forces with our Body Sect."

He knew very well that Yuanen Tiandang had the potential to become Quasi-God, and all he was missing was an opportunity.

Yuanen Zhentian laughed it off, taking it as Jiang Xiu's consolation. Could it be that the Body Sect still had a Titan Giant Ape of 100,000 years?

Hmm... this joke isn't funny.

"Alright, young friend Jiang, let's discuss the specific number of Battle Armor. I'm definitely not greedy. Our family only needs one Three-Word Battle Armor and three Two-Word Battle Armor each year. We're not in a hurry for Four-Word Battle Armor."

"Of course, if the Body Sect encounters any difficulties, our Yuanen Family will do everything in our power to help!"

Yuanen Zhentian looked at Jiang Xiu and said solemnly.

"Huh?!" Jiang Xiu was taken aback upon hearing this.

Because what Yuanen Zhentian wanted was far too little. Even hiring a Super Douluo on the market would cost more than that, not to mention the Yuanen Family was an entire clan.

"This Yuanen Zhentian is quite a character!" Na'er nodded slightly, giving him a high evaluation.

"Looking ahead." Gu Yue commented in his heart as well.

The Yuanen Family may seem glorious now, but after the foundation of Yuanen Tiandang was damaged, the next generation of the Yuanen Family, except for Yuanen Yehui, has clearly begun to decline.

If one can cultivate a good relationship with Jiang Xiu, who has multiple identities, it would undoubtedly be a wise decision.

"No need for further words, my mind is made up." Seeing that Jiang Xiu speak, Yuanen Zhentian waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the next room to draft a contract."

Seeing this, Jiang Xiu stopped insisting and walked out with Yuanen Zhentian.

"Hey, Gu Yue, don't you have a feeling that this Yuanen Zhentian isn't human?"

After the two walked away, Na'er nudged Gu Yue and said meaningfully.
