A Local Official Is No Match for the One in Charge

Yu Xiaogang walked slowly with his hands behind his back, looked at Salas in front of him, and said slowly, "Salas, I have no other intention than to ask for the Pope's Token. I just hope that our Shrek Academy can obtain justice."

"Every member of the Shrek Academy Team is a genius Soul Master whom we have painstakingly cultivated. I don't want to aggravate their injuries by asking questions, thus affecting their future cultivation. If you really want to investigate, wait until they have recovered."

"However, I still hope you can be fair and severely punish Blazing Gloom Academy."

Yu Xiaogang's voice carried a faint air of authority. This Pope's Token was personally given to him by Tang Hao when he was in Nuoding City. He never expected it would actually come in handy one day.

Salas looked down at the Pope's Token in his hand, a barely perceptible thought appearing in his eyes.

Seeing the Pope's Token is like the Pope itself, but it depends on the circumstances. The Pope's Token is, after all, just a token, while Jun Xuehan is the Pope's disciple and has the backing of the Worship Hall.

Even if Pope Pope's Token himself came and wanted to severely punish Jun Xuehan, he would have to ask the Worship Hall for permission first.

Therefore, it was impossible for Yu Xiaogang to use a Pope's Token to get Salas to severely punish Jun Xuehan. After all, there's a saying that a local official is more powerful than a distant one, and Salas could certainly distinguish between what was more important and what was less important.

"Elder, please rest assured, I will handle this matter impartially. Please withdraw the Pope's Token." The thoughtful look in Salas's eyes disappeared, and his voice carried a hint of respect.

Salas, who could sit in such a high position Platinum Bishop, was certainly no fool. As the Pope's disciple, his joining the Blazing Gloom Academy and representing it in the competition was undoubtedly to conceal his true identity.

If he were to refuse outright, it would be tantamount to telling everyone present that Blazing Gloom Academy and the Spirit Hall are related, and that the relationship is not insignificant.

Therefore, the best way to deal with the Pope's Token is to outwardly agree but secretly continue doing what you normally do.

"It's best to handle this impartially." Yu Xiaogang took the Pope's Token back from Salas and walked straight towards Tang San check on his injuries.

Salas then turned and left Shrek Academy's rest area, heading towards the rest area of the Blazing Gloom Academy.

Not long after Salas, Ning Fengzhi and the others left, Yu Tianheng came over with Ye Lingling.

"Uncle, is there something you need from us?" Yu Tianheng glanced at the Shrek Academy contestants lying around him and guessed what Yu Xiaogang wanted to talk to them about.

"Tian Heng, could you please have this Support System player treat our Shrek Academy's injured member? Otherwise, Shrek Academy won't be able to participate in tomorrow's Playoffs," Yu Xiaogang said while examining Tang San's injuries.

"I'm afraid that won't work." Before Yu Tianheng could speak, Ye Lingling 'Yu Tianheng somewhat ethereal voice rang out beside him.

"Why?" Yu Xiaogang turned to look at Ye Lingling with a surprised expression, somewhat puzzled as to why Ye Lingling had refused before Yu Tianheng had even said anything.

But seeing Yu Xiaogang's surprised look, Ye Lingling remained calm and showed no intention of explaining.

"Uncle, this might not work." Yu Tianheng spread his hands helplessly and explained, "Uncle, a new force has appeared in Heaven Dou City called Wind Snow Pavilion. Ye Lingling's family has joined it, and their Nine Heart Begonia Family is considered to be at the high level in the Wind Snow Pavilion."

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and said, "The Wind Snow Pavilion is quite active in Heaven Dou City, and I've heard a bit about it. But what does their family's joining the Wind Snow Pavilion have to do with helping our Shrek Academy's injured personnel treat their injuries?"

Yu Tianheng nodded slightly and said, "Of course there is a connection between them, otherwise, why would I bring this up?"

"Uncle, do you know who the master of the Wind Snow Pavilion is?" Yu Tianheng asked in return.

"Who is it?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

"The head of the Wind Snow Pavilion is Jun Xuehan, so Ye Lingling is also a member of the Wind Snow Pavilion. Jun Xuehan injured people from your Shrek Academy, and now you're asking people from the Wind Snow Pavilion to treat them. No matter how you look at it, this is a bit unreasonable." Yu Tianheng's face showed a helpless expression, indicating that he was powerless to do anything about it.

Although Ye Lingling is on their team, it's obvious which is more important, a team or a family.

From the perspective of family interests or the power of the Wind Snow Pavilion, Ye Lingling had no reason to help.

"Jun Xuehan injured the person, so she should compensate Shrek Academy for its losses. It's not inappropriate for the people from the Wind Snow Pavilion to treat them. Besides, Jun Xuehan isn't here. Even if she treats us, we won't say anything, and no one will know." Yu Xiaogang stood up and looked at Yu Tianheng, saying softly.

"Do I know them?" Ye Lingling's somewhat ethereal voice carried a faint chill.

"I don't know him." Yu Xiaogang shook his head slightly.

"Then why should I help?" Ye Lingling glanced at them, then turned and left without any intention of helping.

"This..." Yu Xiaogang looked at Ye Lingling who was leaving and said to Yu Tianheng, "Tian Heng, isn't she a member of your team? Go and talk to her for me. In their current condition, they are simply unable to participate in the upcoming Playoffs."

Yu Tianheng said helplessly, "Uncle, although Ye Lingling is on our team, there's nothing I can do. After all, she belongs to the Wind Snow Pavilion, and from any perspective, there's absolutely no reason for me to help her."

"Moreover, our Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team also needs to participate in the competition tomorrow. She is the only Support System Soul Master in our team. If she consumes too much Soul Power and cannot replenish it in time, it will be very disadvantageous for our competition tomorrow."

Hearing Yu Tianheng's words, Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was somewhat difficult to handle.

Looking at Yu Xiaogang deep in thought, Yu Tianheng said softly, "Uncle, why don't you try to find Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School? Sect Master Ning's Martial Soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, also has considerable healing abilities. If you can get Sect Master Ning to help you, you'll still have a chance in tomorrow's Playoffs."

"As for Ye Lingling, I can only try to talk to her on your behalf, but don't get your hopes up too high. There's basically no chance she can help you."
