"Little Yehui..."

In the dim light, Yuanen Zhentian looked at his granddaughter's lonely figure, and a pang of sorrow welled up in his weathered eyes.

He can only look at his granddaughter now, but cannot go up to acknowledge her.

Moreover, he didn't know in what capacity he should meet Yuanen Yehui.

Is it grandfather, or enemy...?

He couldn't tell the difference, he really couldn't tell the difference!

"Damn Shrek Academy! They actually put my granddaughter in this shabby dormitory!"

Immediately, Yuanen Zhentian suppressed the pain in his eyes, replacing it with rage.

When he arrived at the Work-Study Student Dormitory, he found that the environment was indeed as Gu Yue had described, very simple and rudimentary. Even the washing area was somewhat dilapidated, and the bathing area was not private at all.

Furthermore, there were very few people in the entire Work-Study Student Dormitory; in fact, there was only Yuanen Yehui in this area, which shows how poor the Work-Study Student Dormitory conditions were. Calling it a dormitory is an understatement.

The students who are able to get into the Shrek Academy are not only talented, but also have the background of relying on their "father".

It's either my father, Federal Councilor, or my grandfather Titled Douluo.

After all, it is extremely difficult to even qualify for the Shrek Academy's freshman assessment these days, as the number of places available in each Federation city is limited.

Despite possessing the strength of Limit Douluo, he was unable to provide resources to help Yuanen Yehui cultivation. If it weren't for this incident, he wouldn't even have known that his granddaughter was going through such a difficult time, and would have been kept in the dark all along.

"I'm about to reach Soul Ancestor, but all the money I saved up went into making the One-Word Battle Armor. What am I going to do with my second Soul Spirit...?"

Yuanen Yehui slowly put down her pen, a hint of distraction appearing on her cold and beautiful face, but her red lips were tightly pursed as she murmured something.

She has now cultivated to the level of Soul Elder level 39), but she is facing a huge problem: she has run out of funds to purchase a second Soul Spirit.

Her already meager savings were now empty.

In this era, Soul Beast are nearly extinct, and Soul Master who want to break through can only purchase Soul Spirit from the Spirit Pagoda.

Looks like I'll have to take on a lot more missions tomorrow...

"Self-reliance leads to abundance, and labor is glorious!"

"Yehui, you must believe in yourself! Your father is waiting for you to save him!"

With a slight shake of her head, a hint of determination flashed in Yuanen Yehui's beautiful eyes. She clenched her fists tightly and encouraged herself.

"I need to go to sleep quickly, or I'll miss out on the restaurant's special offers tomorrow!"

Noticing the time on the clock on the wall, Yuanen Yehui exclaimed in surprise, quickly put away the diary with a wave of her hand, and got up to walk to the bedside.

With limited funds, she had to be even more frugal.

Yuanen Zhentian, who was hiding in the shadows, fell completely silent upon witnessing this scene.

As the bright Soul Lamp went out, Yuanen Zhentian stood silently in place like a sculpture.

"Senior Zhentian, since you're here, why not have a chat at the Sea God Pavilion?"

After an unknown amount of time, a clear voice suddenly rang in his ears, and it was none other than the voice of Yun Ming, the Sea God Pavilion Master.

The voice snapped Yuanen Zhentian out of his reverie, a bitter expression creeping onto his stern and resolute face. "Perhaps I was wrong back then..."

Then, Yuanen Zhentian gave Yuanen Yehui one last deep look, turned and walked out of the Work-Study Student Dormitory. In that instant, a hint of violent emotion flickered in his eyes...

Sea God Island, Sea God Pavilion.

Yun Ming sat in the main seat of the conference room, with Cai Yue'er, Ya Li, and several Elder sitting to his side, seemingly waiting for something.

They had been discussing the Star Luo Empire Academy competition, and Yuanen Zhentian had noticed it the moment he entered Shrek Academy. So, after finalizing the meeting agenda, he invited him here for a chat.

After all, the Yuanen Family has many powerful members, and Yuanen Zhentian is a veteran Limit Douluo level expert. If Shrek Academy encounters difficulties in the future, they may need to ask him for help.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

As ripples spread through the space, Yuanen Zhentian's powerful figure suddenly stepped out of the space and into the conference room.

"Senior Zhentian, please have a seat." Yun Ming stood up and gestured for Yuanen Zhentian to sit down when he saw him appear.

Upon seeing Yuanen Zhentian, Elder Li, standing to the side, felt a flicker of joy in his eyes.

"I never imagined that the person from the Yuanen Family would be Yuanen Zhentian, Limit Douluo level cultivator. Then Elder Long's plan to use someone else to do his dirty work must have succeeded!"

Elder Li said, his heart filled with a mixture of surprise and joy.

Sure enough, he still needed to follow in the footsteps of Elder Long Yeyue; that would give him a better future!

"Lord Yun Ming, it's been a long time." Yuanen Zhentian said calmly, bowing slightly to Yun Ming.

As the head of a family, he must always remain clear-headed, but he also needs to give an explanation regarding his granddaughter Yuanen Yehui.

Moreover, based on his understanding of Yun Ming, he shouldn't do something so inconsistent...

"Senior Zhentian, what brings you to my academy so suddenly today? Why didn't you give me a heads-up? I could have given you a proper welcome." Yun Ming asked with a warm smile.

"Hmm?" Yuanen Zhentian's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. Yun Ming didn't know he was coming? Could there be something fishy going on?

Before he could even speak, Elder Li transmitted a message to Yun Ming.

Immediately afterwards, a hint of surprise flashed in Yun Ming's eyes, and a touch of coldness appeared on his face.

However, at this moment, Yuanen Zhentian didn't care about any of that. Instead, he looked directly at Yun Ming and asked in a somewhat deep voice, "Sect Master Yun Ming, do you still remember what you promised me back then?"

"About the Demon Plane?" Yun Ming asked softly.

"No, it's about Yuanen Yehui's cultivation resources." Yuanen Zhentian shook his head slightly, his tone remarkably calm.

"You promised me that you would provide resources to Yuanen Yehui during her cultivation, which is why I felt comfortable letting Yehui Shrek Academy. I wonder if Pavilion Master Yun Ming has kept your promise?"

"This..." Yun Ming raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Cai Yue'er beside him. "I have already instructed Elder Cai to handle this matter."

"Elder Cai, please introduce yourself to Senior Zhentian."

Upon hearing this, Yuanen Zhentian's gaze darkened, and he looked up at Cai Yue'er beside him.

Perhaps he knows the real culprit... and the reason.

"Yuanen Yehui, of course I'll give the resources to her." Cai Yue'er suddenly realized, then said:

"However, I won't give it to her directly, but rather gradually and systematically, letting her acquire resources herself by completing tasks."

"This way, she can be trained at the same time, and she'll also have access to cultivation resources. It's the best of both worlds."

Cai Yue'er smiled, seemingly quite pleased with her arrangement.

"How about it? Isn't it perfect? According to what I learned last time, Yuanen Yehui can now complete three missions a day."

"..." Yun Ming was taken aback upon hearing this.

Is this... right?

"Yehui received a higher reward than the other trainees after completing the mission?" Yuanen Zhentian continued to ask calmly.

"How is that possible? Shrek Academy has always been fair and impartial, treating everyone equally. If she does the same work as the students but receives more pay, isn't that unfair?" Cai Yue'er said without hesitation.

"Hiss~, genius!" Old Elder Li gasped, for some reason, he had a bad feeling.

Ya Li's gentle face froze slightly. If what Cai Yue'er said was true, then Yuanen's resources were earned through his own hard work, weren't they?

"Why was Yehui assigned to the Work-Study Student Dormitory?" Yuanen Zhentian asked, his teeth clenched, his face "kind."

"Work-study students enjoy the same benefits as other work-study students. They can get priority in catching up on tasks. I wonder how many people want to be work-study students at the Shrek Academy but can't get the job," Cai Yue'er said with a hint of pride.

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from Yuanen Zhentian beside him, Elder Li broke out in a cold sweat and wanted to ask Cai Yue'er to stop talking.

"So you arranged all of this by yourself?" Yuanen Zhentian stared intently at Cai Yue'er and asked in a deep voice.

"Of course," Cai Yue'er nodded confidently.

Upon hearing this, Yuanen Zhentian laughed in fury, "Good! Good! Good!"

"That's excellent, of course." Cai Yue'er was very satisfied with herself.

"You think you've done the right thing?" Yuanen Zhentian laughed, even more furious.

"That's natural..." Cai Yue'er said.

"Shut up!" Yun Ming shouted, directly ordering Cai Yue'er to be silent, as if he was afraid that Yuanen Zhentian wouldn't be angry.

He still trusted Ren Cai Yue'er, whom he had grown up with, too much back then.

Yuanen Zhentian took a deep breath, his entire body radiating a terrifying pressure as if it were an abyss or a prison. His eyes were filled with sternness as he looked at Cai Yue'er, and an earthy yellow halo continued to spread, his fan-like palm poised to strike.

"Senior Zhentian, what are you doing? Our two major forces have always been on good terms. Back then, it was our two major forces that fought against the Demon Plane together." Yun Ming gracefully landed in front of Cai Yue'er and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yuanen Zhentian paused slightly.

There is no doubt that Shrek Academy helped them when they faced the Demon Plane.

Yun Ming was clearly trying to protect Cai Yue'er, and this was still the Sea God Pavilion.

Ya Li, standing to the side, glanced at Yun Ming, who was protecting Cai Yue'er. Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly. Although she knew that Yun Ming was doing this to maintain the dignity of the Sea God Pavilion, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Especially after seeing the way Cai Yue'er looked at Yun Ming, her eyes were clearly filled with dependence and admiration.

As the wife, she felt like she had been... violated, especially in public.

Elder Jin, who had been watching from the shadows, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. Yuanen Zhentian was still too honest; he couldn't even start with zero frames and had to charge up his power before slapping someone.

I'm so angry at their lack of ambition!

Yuanen Zhentian remained silent for a moment, recalling his current identity as Yuanen Yehui. He knew that Yuan Enyehui couldn't know about this deception yet, otherwise, if Yuanen Yehui knew that all his efforts had been in vain, wouldn't his beliefs collapse?

"Since we can't make a move here at the Sea God Pavilion, we'll wait until this thing leaves Shrek Academy before I give it a good beating!"

Yuanen Zhentian made a silent decision and slowly suppressed his anger.

If he were to make a move here, not only would he be ungrateful, but Yuanen Yehui might also be expelled from school, making all his previous efforts a joke.

But once he left Shrek Academy, he put on a black hood.

So it makes perfect sense that a Sea God Pavilion Elder surnamed Cai was severely injured by a powerful member of the Holy Spirit Cult while traveling...
