Gu Yuena: I Hope You Haven't Lied to Me

Liu Erlong frowned, "Heaven Dou City is full of powerful and influential people. If your Soul Tool Academy stays here, it will always be hampered!"

"Those with connections, spoiled brats, even nobles and Spirit Hall spies and assassins!"

"Only in your territory, far from here, can you cultivate students who are loyal to you!"

Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly.

That's a good point.

"But," Ye Hua asked, puzzled, "How will you manage to balance everything at the Blue Tyrant Academy?"

"It's very simple," Liu Erlong said without hesitation, "I plan to hand over Blue Tyrant Academy to Flender!"

Ye Hua was stunned. "Give it to Flender?"

"Yes," Liu Erlong said frankly, "I plan to hand over Blue Tyrant Academy to Flender and rename it Shrek Academy!"

"Actually, you didn't have to..."

"Teacher Ye, even if you don't invite me to be the dean of the Soul Tool Academy, I still intend to do so."

Liu Erlong took a deep breath, "Back in Suotuo City, Boss Fu poured his heart and soul into Shrek."

"And the result? That Tang San guy completely ruined the reputation of the entire Shrek!"

"If you weren't also a Shrek teacher, Shrek Academy would have been infamous long ago!"

"Even if Boss Fu doesn't say it, he must be feeling terrible inside!"

"Giving him Blue Tyrant Academy is a way of compensating him for not choosing him back then..."

Liu Erlong visibly breathed a sigh of relief after saying this.

It was as if the pent-up emotions that had been building up in my heart for many years had finally come to an end.

Ye Hua was somewhat surprised, "You're quite insightful."

"But what about your family, Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen— "

"Him?" Liu Erlong waved his hand. "He'd love for me to get closer to you!"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has Ning Rongrong, the Empire has Xue Ke, and even the Zhu Clan the Star Luo Empire has Zhu Zhuqing!"

"Only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has no one by your side!"

Ye Hua chuckled, "That's true."

Compared to the arranged marriage, Yu Yuanzhen's relationship with him was much less close.

If someone still opposes Liu Erlong becoming the dean of the Soul Tool Academy, then they must be out of their mind.

"Then," Liu Erlong stood up, "I'll finish handing over Blue Tyrant Academy, and then I'll come to Notting City to find you?"

"Alright," Ye Hua stood up as well, "It's a deal!"

"While there's still time, I've instructed the administrator to expedite the site selection and school construction!"

Liu Erlong watched Ye Hua leave, a relaxed smile on her face.

She stretched, hummed a little tune, picked up the watering can that had fallen, and watered the flowers.

[bite--]

[Liu Erlong's inner conflict is completely resolved, Rescue Progress +20%]

[Current Rescue Progress: 55%]

[Please keep up your efforts, host, and strive to undress me one night.]

Ye Hua nodded slightly upon hearing the system notification.

The long-dormant rescue of Liu Erlong is about to begin again!

The situation will be mostly resolved once the Soul Tool Academy is established!

Ye Hua left the academy without lingering and headed straight for the Star Dou Forest.

Seven days have passed since Gu Yuena sent the message; it wouldn't be right to keep her waiting any longer.

A moment later, in the Core Area of Star Dou Forest, by the Life Lake.

Ye Hua folded Yinglong Wings and landed on the grass.

The girl in front of him had long, flowing silver hair and wore an elegant white dress, quietly watching him.

Compared to her a few years ago, Gu Yuena has clearly merged all her clones.

Her face has become more composed, and her figure can be described as that of a mature woman!

"This time you're not avoiding me anymore." Ye Hua walked to her side.

"The last few times I came, it was Da Ming Er Ming who received me."

Gu Yuena closed her eyes and ignored him.

Seeing her throwing a tantrum, Ye Hua smirked mischievously.

"Na'er?"

"Na'er!"

Gu Yuena suddenly opened her eyes!

"Qilin, now you don't even call me 'Master' anymore?"

"That would be too formal," Ye Hua said without changing his expression. "We've participated in the competition together before."

"But you were unfair. When facing the Kamikaze Team, you called Xiao Wu and Wang Qiu'er away, which almost caused the Long Night Team to lose."

Gu Yuena knew she was in the wrong, but she was angry at the time.

There was no other way but to change the subject.

"I've heard about the Spirit Pagoda. You've certainly taken a step I didn't expect."

"To allow the souls of deceased Soul Beast to retain their intelligence and form contracts with human Soul Master in exchange for a promise from humans to cease hunting living Soul Beast..."

"If this policy can be implemented, it can indeed alleviate tensions between the two ethnic groups."

"However," her tone suddenly turned serious, "Are you sure humans will keep their promise?"

Ye Hua remained calm and met her gaze.

"I can make over 90% of Soul Master comply; the rest, the Long Night Alliance will make them pay the price."

"I established a rule in the Spirit Pagoda: any Soul Master who obtains Soul Spirit from the Spirit Pagoda shall never hunt any Soul Beast for the rest of their life."

"Those who violate this rule will be hunted down to the death by the Long Night Alliance. The Two Great Empires have also agreed to cooperate in enacting this law."

Gu Yuena remained silent for a moment.

After a long silence, her tone turned icy.

"Qilin, my current strength has recovered to the level of a human Ultimate Douluo."

"I can walk freely in the human world without your Di Tian's protection."

"Do you believe I'll go see for myself?"

"If you lie to me, then you will not be welcome in the Star Dou Forest from now on!"

"Then let's go," Ye Hua said, stepping aside and gesturing for them to proceed.

Gu Yuena glanced at him.

Ye Hua was open and honest, his eyes showing no sign of flinching.

What he said is probably true.

[bite--]

[Quest "Na'er? Gu Yue? Gu Yuena!" Completed]

[Rewards being distributed...]

[The Golden Dragon King's Bloodline has been distributed]

[Gu Yuena has been identified as the rescue target; current Rescue Progress: 5%]

[Increasing your Rescue Progress will unlock more rewards. Please continue your efforts, Host.]

A glint flashed in Ye Hua's eyes.

He calmly and discreetly stored away the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline.

"I am aware of the Abyss invasion of the Far North Forest," Gu Yuena took a deep breath. "I think it must be the work of the Divine Realm."

"They want to use the Abyss as a weapon to weaken the Soul Beast!"

"But I don't understand why they don't get involved themselves?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hua decided to feign death.

Why? Because the system has sealed off the Divine-Mortal Passage!

"Furthermore," Gu Yuena continued, seeing that Ye Hua remained silent, "I have a vague feeling that my connection with the Golden Dragon King has been severed, and I'm afraid my fate is grim!"

"This is not good news for us. You can use the Soul Spirit System to divide the believers of the gods and alleviate our pressure."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hua couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Gu Yuena frowned slightly. "What are you laughing at?"

"If I told you I had a surprise in store and needed your help to Guardian, would you think I was being unreasonable?"
