Let's Make It Big!

The next morning, when Yu Wuyi got up and opened the door, Yan Shaozhe was standing outside.

He had been waiting there for quite some time, but in keeping with his principle of not disturbing another's peace and quiet, he had simply waited outside.

"Senior Yan, is something the matter?"

Yu Wuyi asked in confusion, though he already had an answer in mind.

For Yan Shaozhe to appear at such a particular time could only mean that a decision had been made.

Yan Shaozhe smiled faintly and said politely, "After three days of discussion at the Sea God's Pavilion meeting, we have reached a final decision. Would Miss Firefly please come with me to the conference room?"

He made a welcoming gesture.

Naturally, Yu Wuyi had no reason to refuse. He simply had not expected the meeting to last a full three days.

"I've troubled Senior Yan to personally come and invite Firefly."

"It is my duty."

The two made their way to the Sea God's Pavilion conference room, one after the other.

Inside the conference room, the members of the Sea God's Pavilion were already seated. The instant they entered, everyone's gazes converged on them.

Yan Shaozhe returned to his own seat, while Yu Wuyi took the seat specially prepared for him, directly opposite Mu En.

Only after he sat down did Mu En slowly speak.

"Over the past few days of discussion, there have been quite a few disagreements among us. In the end, we arrived at a conclusion that was relatively acceptable to everyone."

"Let us begin with the conclusion. If, someday in the future, the crisis you spoke of truly comes to pass, and if the strength of your Wuyi All-Purpose House is indeed as formidable as you described..."

"Shrek Academy is willing to follow your lead and resist the coming threat together."

Yu Wuyi nodded. Those words had been phrased very rigorously. They assumed not only that the crisis would appear, but also that the Wuyi All-Purpose House's strength was genuine.

If the crisis never came, or if the Wuyi All-Purpose House's strength had merely been fabricated, Shrek Academy could use that as grounds to withdraw from the arrangement.

And clearly, Mu En had more to say.

"However, before that, you must answer some of our questions, little one, so that we may gain a certain understanding of your strength."

"I hope you understand. Only then can we entrust our backs to you with peace of mind."

As a force independent of the continent's power struggles, Shrek Academy naturally would not lightly place itself under another's command.

Otherwise, with Shrek's influence, joining any side would cause the currently balanced situation to tilt overwhelmingly.

If this matter had not involved the entire continent, they would not have made such a decision.

Such concerns were perfectly understandable, and Yu Wuyi expressed his understanding as well.

"Please ask whatever you wish, seniors. Aside from the deepest secrets of our All-Purpose House, I will answer everything I know."

Yan Shaozhe was the first to ask, "Without rules, there can be no order. Could you tell us about the principles by which your All-Purpose House operates? It should not be like certain organizations, where anyone can submit a commission, correct?"

Yu Wuyi replied, "Our shopkeeper has mentioned this before. The All-Purpose House has three basic rules."

"First, we do not accept trivial errands, assassinations of innocents, or commissions with insufficient payment."

"Second, the All-Purpose House only does its own business and does not involve itself in conflicts between factions."

"Third, the right to interpret the above belongs to the shopkeeper."

"Those seem to be the only three. Everything else relies on the executors' own self-discipline."

Yan Shaozhe's mouth twitched. He had not expected such a massive organization to be bound by only three rules. However, since it had never caused any major incidents, the people within it must generally possess high moral character.

Next, it was Xuanzi's turn to ask.

"The shopkeeper you mentioned should be your leader, correct? Can you introduce him in greater detail?"

Yu Wuyi shook his head and said, "The shopkeeper is named Yu Wuyi, but his origins are extremely mysterious. No one knows where he came from."

"Almost every executor's power was bestowed by the shopkeeper."

That statement once again shook the understanding of the Sea God's Pavilion members.

"You mean that the abilities of the All-Purpose House's members, including yours, were all given by this shopkeeper?"

Yu Wuyi nodded and explained, "No one knows why the shopkeeper possesses such an ability. But since it involves personal privacy, the executors have tacitly agreed not to ask one another about it."

The elders exchanged glances. In all their lives, this was the first time they had heard of such a thing.

There had been many examples of granting others abilities, but that was completely different from mass-producing Titled Douluo, or even Super Douluo!

She had previously said that she was merely an ordinary executor. From that, it was clear that there had to be a considerable number of executors, with even stronger individuals above them.

Stronger than a Super Douluo could only mean an Ultimate Douluo.

Then just how powerful would someone capable of granting others the ability to become Limit Douluo be?

In that instant, they all thought of the same possibility.

The Divine Realm!

Only people from a place like that could possess such an unimaginable ability.

But people from the Divine Realm should not have been able to descend to the Douluo Continent so easily. Otherwise, Ancestor Tang San would not have failed to return to Shrek Academy even once in ten thousand years.

"Little one, is your shop owner really from the Douluo Continent?"

Mu En spoke, voicing the question in everyone's heart.

Yu Wuyi shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

Mu En asked again, "Then are you from the Douluo Continent?"

Yu Wuyi froze. She had not expected Mu En to ask that. It seemed he had already vaguely sensed something.

Since that was the case, she might as well make this big!

"No."

That answer immediately stirred up a tremendous uproar in the hearts of the Sea God's Pavilion members. The shop owner's abilities were simply too inconceivable, so they had wondered whether he might be someone from the Divine Realm.

But now, even she was not from the Douluo Continent?!

This Wuyi All-Purpose House seemed far more terrifying than they had imagined!

Even Mu En's gaze grew far more serious. Ever since meeting Yu Wuyi, he had been pondering what kind of power could accomplish such things.

And when had this faction begun to develop?

He was already among those standing at the pinnacle of this world, yet he still could not see through the very young girl before him.

But if everything was based on the premise that the other party was an outsider, and this was an outside faction, then every incomprehensible matter was instantly explained.

They were not originally from the Douluo Continent, so naturally the abilities they used lay beyond the scope of their understanding.

But if they could even accomplish something like crossing between worlds, why would they do something so arduous and thankless?

With their abilities, they could easily create a faction stronger than the Douluo Continent. Or was that crisis so powerful that they were unwilling to give up even the slightest bit of combat strength?

For the first time in his more than two hundred years of life, Mu En felt that his brain was not enough. The experience he had accumulated found little use in this situation.

Yu Wuyi was not worried that this would lead to the situation he had initially feared—that they would secretly gather the continent's forces to deal with his little shop.

Because before this, he had already made Shrek Academy regard him as an ally. Though an ally being too powerful might throw their thoughts into disarray, as long as both sides shared the same goal, a powerful ally was also a good thing for them.

By now, they had probably already regarded the All-Purpose House as a powerful force from beyond the heavens. Until they understood its true background, they would not dare act rashly.

Especially when this faction possessed power far beyond their own.
