"Hmph, Shrek has no shortage of talent. There is no such thing as a generational gap, and Elder Mu would never have gone begging to your Holy Spirit Cult over such a problem," Xuan Zi said stubbornly.
"Hmph, Xuan Zi, you know, back then, there seemed to be a full soul power genius from the Heaven Soul Empire whose name shook the world. Elder Mu took a liking to her and wanted her to join Shrek wholeheartedly, but the girl's family was an obstacle. That family had ties to the Sun Moon Empire, and in the end, the girl would head to the Sun Moon Empire rather than Shrek." Zhongli Wu paused, then continued—
"In order to free that genius from the burden of her family so she could serve Shrek wholeheartedly, Elder Mu worried himself gray. In the end, he came to our Holy Spirit Cult and asked us to cooperate by cleansing her entire family, after which Elder Mu would arrive fashionably late to save that genius from peril and win the full soul power genius's loyalty for Shrek."
The moment Zhongli Wu finished speaking, the entire scene fell silent.
Just moments ago, Yan Shaozhe had still been immersed in the narrative of my grandfather was an Evil Soul Master's lackey, my grandmother was an Evil Soul Master bigshot, my uncle was an Evil Soul Master underling, my girlfriend was also an Evil Soul Master, and my whole family was made up of Evil Soul Masters. Upon hearing Zhongli Wu's words, his first reaction was confusion. Did such a thing happen?
But then, something suddenly came back to him, and his expression changed drastically. Was the Holy Spirit Cult going to expose what happened back then?
He wanted to say something, but someone reacted faster than he did.
