The atmosphere in the room became quite subtle as soon as Cai Yue'er said those words.
An awkward expression appeared on the Duke of Nether's face. He looked at the white-haired old woman in front of him, opened his mouth as if to say something, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin.
He thought to himself, "I am, after all, the Duke of Nether of the Star Luo Empire, a duke of such high status. Yet, when I was just catching up with my daughter, I was scolded like this."
This doesn't make sense, does it?
Duke of Nether cleared his throat, trying to make his tone sound calm, and then said something.
"This... teacher, I am Zhu Zhuqing's father."
"As a father, I only wanted to think about my daughter's future happiness; I had no ill intentions."
Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er merely glanced at him coldly, her aged eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
"I know who you are, but... so what?"
She spoke in a flat tone, but anyone could hear the sarcasm in that flat tone.
The Duke of Nether's lips twitched slightly.
Cai Yue'er didn't give him a chance to speak further, and continued speaking directly, her tone full of disdain.
"What kind of trash is your Empress position? Does it even deserve the name of the Shrek Academy?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the Star Luo Empire Emperor and the Duke of Nether became quite interesting.
What do you mean by saying the position of Empress in the Star Luo Empire is worthless?
The Star Luo Empire Emperor stood to one side, his eyes blazing with suppressed rage.
It's important to know that throughout the history of the Star Luo Empire, quite a few people have died for this position.
The infighting within the royal family and the killings among brothers were all for this position.
But Cai Yue'er calls it garbage?
The Duke of Nether, observing the situation, saw that the Star Luo Empire Emperor's expression had darkened and quickly tried to smooth things over.
"This teacher... once he sits in this position, it can be said that he controls most of the Star Luo Empire."
"Although the Star Luo Empire's overall strength is inferior to your academy's, it is still one of the two great Star Luo Empire and a behemoth on the Douluo Continent."
After Duke of Nether finished speaking, the Star Luo Empire Emperor's expression improved somewhat.
He straightened his back slightly, his gaze fixed on Cai Yue'er's face, waiting to see her reaction.
After all, this was the empire built up by the Dai Family over generations. The Star Luo Empire became one of the two great empires because of its solid military strength and political acumen.
After hearing Duke of Nether's words, Cai Yue'er's expression remained unchanged; she simply waved her hand impatiently.
"And then what? Were the two great empires really that powerful?"
Everyone was momentarily speechless.
Were the two great empires really that powerful?
The answer to this question is undoubtedly correct in any context.
But the way it came from Cai Yue'er's mouth made it impossible for anyone to have any thought of refuting it.
Ning Rongrong stood to the side, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Cai Yue'er.
She lowered her voice and said something to Wu Siduo beside her.
" Elder Cai is truly amazing... she doesn't give the Star Luo Empire Emperor any face at all."
Wu Siduo nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
The Star Luo Empire Emperor stood before Cai Yue'er, remained silent for a long while, and then slowly spoke, his tone much more restrained than before.
"We... we just want to talk to Zhu Zhuqing, is that too much to ask?"
He now understood that the old woman in front of him didn't listen to any of their tricks. No emperor or duke could change anything in front of her.
Instead of continuing to stubbornly persist, it's better to find a way to back down gracefully.
Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er gave him a cold glance before continuing to speak.
"Don't let me hear you presumptuously dictating the future of our academy's students again, or I'll ask Elder Long to make a trip to your Star Luo Empire's palace."
When these words were spoken, the Star Luo Empire Emperor's face darkened, and his eyes were filled with rage.
This old woman really doesn't give me any face at all. I'm the emperor of a country, how dare she?
It's important to understand that even ordinary titled Douluo would give these emperors some face, since they have powerful armies. If things really turned sour, no one would be in a good place.
Shrek Academy... does it really want to go to war with their Star Luo Empire?
But he quickly suppressed his anger.
He had to admit that the fighting power that Shrek Academy was currently displaying was truly terrifying.
The strength of those students, those teachers, and those Branch Dean is not something that their Star Luo Empire can easily provoke.
Unless the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire are willing to cooperate with them, and the three parties join forces, they might have a chance of winning.
But that's clearly not going to work now.
The Star Luo Empire Emperor took a deep breath, then turned around without saying anything more and walked back the way he came.
Staying here will only make them look more embarrassed.
When Duke of Nether saw the Star Luo Empire Emperor turn and leave, he hurriedly followed, not daring to look back.
Meanwhile, Dai Weisi was still engaged in a heated verbal battle with Dai Mubai and the other two.
Dai Mubai stood there, his face quite grim. Flender and Zhao Wuji stood on either side of him, their eyes fixed on Dai Weisi.
When the Star Luo Empire Emperor and the Duke of Nether returned, Dai Weisi turned around, glanced at the Star Luo Empire Emperor's face, and then asked a question.
" Father Emperor, how is the matter of my engagement with Zhu Zhuqing going?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's expression darkened further, and anger surged in his wicked eyes.
Seeing this, Flender quickly spoke up for Dai Mubai.
"Your Majesty, Mu Bai is Zhu Zhuqing's true fiancé."
"If we arbitrarily change our fiancée, it might leave us with a bad reputation, which wouldn't be good for the Star Luo Empire's name either?"
The Star Luo Empire Emperor was already seething with anger, and after hearing these words from the two men, his rage intensified.
He turned his head sharply, his gaze falling on Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi, his voice icy and filled with undisguised anger.
"Two useless pieces of trash!"
"You're still a long way from inheriting my throne!"
"If you want the throne, then show your strength, not rely on your fiancée!"
After saying that, he added coldly.
"You two must decide a winner. Only the victor can inherit my throne, and the loser must die!"
Then his gaze fell on Dai Mubai, his eyes filled with a chilling intent.
" Dai Mubai, don't even think about running away."
"Unless you escape Douluo Continent, the Star Luo Empire's army will hunt you down to the ends of the earth."
When Dai Mubai heard these words, he couldn't help but tremble.
He never expected that his Father Emperor would be so ruthless. This meeting had completely cut off his escape route. He hadn't even managed to get the Star Luo Empire Emperor to hand over Zhu Zhuqing to him, but instead, he had left himself with a countdown to death.
How tragic.
