Making a Move at Sea God's Fate
As time passed, Yin Hongye watched as the people from Qian Gu Dongfeng busied themselves in the Federation, especially the people from the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, who showed no reaction whatsoever to the people from the Spirit Pagoda.
Yin Hongye even began to suspect that these people might be affiliated with either of the two major powers.
Even with such strange behavior, there was absolutely no reaction.
Yin Hongye observed for several days, and the more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong.
The relationship between Shrek and Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda was already tense. Whenever someone from the Spirit Pagoda made a slightly big move, both sides would keep an eye on each other.
But these people are complete idiots; they have absolutely no sense of awareness.
As the saying goes, having connections gives you an edge.
The people from the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect are practically useless now.
Sure enough, nobody wanted to play with them.
He silently expelled these people from the human race.
Finally, the people of Qian Gu Dongfeng transported a long, rectangular alloy box out of a Sealed Warehouse of the Federation Military Department.
The box was engraved with the serial number of a regular military supply, and all the necessary paperwork and seals were complete.
The guard at the warehouse checked the file once, glanced at the box, and waved for the taxi to pass.
Yin Hongye watched as the transport vehicle drove out of the warehouse, turned onto the main road, and headed towards a Secret Outpost of the Spirit Pagoda in the east.
However, ordinary people cannot see it, but those with sufficient mental strength and a slight understanding of the structure of the God-Slaying Soul Tool can know what is inside.
They followed all the legal procedures, using the guise of military supplies allocation, with layers of signatures and approvals, and received the green light all the way.
The most ridiculous thing is that there were quite a few Shrek Academy officials in charge of approvals along the way.
Yin Hongye glanced at them; they had all studied at the Shrek Academy. Letting them know before they die would allow them to die knowing the truth and avoid psychological unease.
As for those who carried out the attack, they were all people planted in the Federation by the Ghost Emperor.
They are all Evil Soul Master; their karma is completely different from that of ordinary people.
Yin Hongye watched the transport truck disappear into the traffic, completely unconcerned; Shrek City was outside her work area.
In another area of work, this is an enemy country.
These two are not on the same job list.
A few days later, in a sealed room at the eastern outpost of the Spirit Pagoda.
Qian Gu Dongfeng stood in front of the alloy box, confirmed that the seal was intact, then took out his Communication Soul Tool and dialed an encrypted channel.
It rang for a long time before the other end answered. The Ghost Emperor's voice came through the communicator, as cold as ever. "Two years. You're only calling me now. That's slow."
Qian Gu Dongfeng said expressionlessly, "The goods are in hand."
"My preparations are almost complete," the Ghost Emperor said. "When are you going to make your move?"
"We still need to wait for the right opportunity." Qian Gu Dongfeng paused, then reminded him, "Don't forget, Shrek Academy's Sea God's Fate is about to begin. At that time, everyone will be more present."
"That makes sense. It's a shame you're not Evil Soul Master." The Ghost Emperor didn't say something: indeed, if he couldn't have love, no one else could either.
The emotional wounds inflicted by this Qian Gu Dongfeng are truly profound.
I should say less in the future.
But what exactly triggered this?
They've all been turned into this.
"I will make my move when the time comes."
After they finished speaking, the call ended.
Qian Gu Dongfeng revealed Evil God smile, completely unaware that his plan was only part of the Ghost Emperor's plan.
He thought he was an outsider to the game, but in the end, he found himself on the sidelines.
Meanwhile, at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, in the Hall of Bright Virtue building.
Yin Hongye and the others sat by the window on the second floor, with tea and snacks in front of them, their eyes fixed on the view outside the window.
In the college, most of the original teaching building has collapsed and is still surrounded by scaffolding.
The fighting yesterday was so intense that they knocked down a load-bearing wall.
The only option is to rebuild the teaching building.
The classroom was moved outdoors, with several long tables pushed together. The teacher lectured elegantly in the middle, while casually dodging attacks. His cultivation level was unremarkable; he was just a Soul Douluo.
The students sat in a circle.
Occasionally, the sound of explosions from test-firing Soul Tool could be heard from the direction of the training ground; of course, Soul Guidance Ray were still flying around erratically.
Two students were also seen listening intently, enthusiastically discussing practical application content with their classmates.
Standing beside him was a prospective War God from the War God Temple, his face blank. Anyone who could attend this class was no normal person.
"These guys are so well-behaved in class, don't they know how to manually craft a fixed-position soul missile? This top-of-the-line machine tool is right in front of them."
Yin Hongye took a sip of tea and complained that back then, when he was at that table, he felt an unparalleled smoothness in the rubbing of the tea leaves.
"That's true. After graduation, I can't find that feel anymore." Mu Hongchen nodded, then said, "By the way, the Shrek Academy's Sea God's Fate is in a few days. Should we bring some chili powder and spray it over Shrek Academy?"
Qian Renxue sat down beside them, glanced at the students taking classes outdoors downstairs, and asked, "What is the Sea God's Fate?"
"The Sea God Abyss Blind Date Event is, of course, a matchmaking event. It's Tournament to Find a Spouse a husband. After the last rule was revealed, the other rules seemed somewhat superfluous," Yin Hongye explained.
Di Qiuer asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"It's just that this matchmaking event has some... well, stupid rules," Yin Hongye said. "You see those Tournament to Find a Spouse in comic books where the protagonist wins, but that's unrealistic. It's like selling yourself as merchandise; whoever is stronger gets the goods, just like an auction."
"Unless, as the one who set the rules, you are the strongest."
"So, their matchmaking is actually Tournament to Find a Spouse?" Qian Renxue asked.
"More than that," Yin Hongye took a sip of tea, "It's a little different."
At this moment, Mu En, from the Douluo Continent II: The Unrivaled Tang Clan era, was visibly taken aback upon hearing this. Was this also a bad habit?
This has been passed down for ten thousand years, in Sea God.
Could this be...?
After thinking it over carefully, he concluded that summarizing it as Tournament to Find a Spouse to find a husband didn't seem like a bad idea.
"Let's change this rule from now on. Let's just let people who are sincere and talented fall in love directly. The previous complicated procedures were indeed unnecessary."
That's what Mu En said, but others didn't think so.
"Teacher, the rules of the Sea God's Fate have been like this since ancient times, and they can't be changed arbitrarily. Who says it has nothing to do with love? I just chose Mei'er, didn't I?"
Yan Shaozhe didn't think so at all. This was clearly his choice, how could it have nothing to do with love?
"Then listen to what the Heavenly Screen say." Mu En was already losing his temper and had little strength left; his eyes had long since turned silver.
It appeared incredibly empty.
He didn't consider any other rules, just the last step, which was a straightforward Tournament to Find a Spouse.
In the Heavenly Screen, Yin Hongye explained to Di Qiuer and Qian Renxue, "The competition is divided into five parts: Mutual Admiration, Love at First Sight, Love at Second Sight, Fated for Three Lifetimes, and a happy marriage. The last part allows for a bride-stealing ceremony."
Upon hearing the last one, Qian Renxue fell silent. She had initially thought no one would be so shameless, at their age...
Then she looked at Yin Hongye.
I feel like this guy is still so shameless even though he's old.
