Destroying Evidence

In the VIP section, listening to the cheers around him, Luo Meng sighed inwardly. He had known this would be the outcome since Long Chen's defeat, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

He knew about the Xu Family's Star Wheel Ice Staff... the Number One Controller Under the Starry Sky.

After the Xu Family's brief but brilliant rise hundreds of years ago, no one like them has emerged since. Unexpectedly, the Spirit Pagoda has unearthed another one.

Lan Muzi's expression was equally complicated, but he didn't think much of it. He got up and walked to Lin Jiayi, who was standing to the side, to discuss the next steps with him.

Tang Yinmeng sighed and stood up to stand in front of Huo Yuhao and the other two. "I am Tang Yinmeng, an Shrek Inner Court. I would like to speak with you all. May I ask if you may come closer?"

"Okay." Huo Yuhao glanced one last time at the arena below, then looked away and nodded to her.

The four of them walked out of the VIP area, and the door behind them closed softly. Tang Yinmeng glanced at Gu Ruiqiu, knowing her relationship with Gu Yuena, and said nothing more. After creating a Soundproof Barrier with her Soul Power, she spoke:

"As you all surely know, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is the Sacred Land of our academy, a legacy left by our Sea God Ancestor. However, the Immortal Herb within have their own desires. They have an agreement with us that only a few medicines can be extracted periodically, and in return, we must protect the place from destruction..."

Gu Ruiqiu listened, secretly pursing her lips.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is a key location for Shrek, and many people know of its existence. However, fewer forces know its exact location. The Spirit Pagoda, for various reasons, knows the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and is also aware of the situation in the vicinity.

Shrek Academy has gone to great lengths to make the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well safer.

As far as she knew, there was not only poisonous miasma there that could kill Super Douluo, but the Tang Sect's headquarters was also located next to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where there were several Three-Word Battle Armor Master, and even Four-Word Battle Armor Masters.

As Tang Yinmeng said, it is well protected.

Tang Yinmeng said, "The last time the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well opened was decades ago, and there's still quite a bit of time before the agreed time. Entering it would actually violate the agreement. However, because of the Inherited Soul Spirit, some immortal Immortal Herb that are worried about not being able to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation have other options and will find suitable people to sign contracts with. So, to obtain Immortal Herb, you must gain their approval..."

Tang Yinmeng explained in detail how to obtain the Immortal Herb and what to be careful about when going to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Seeing that no one had any objections, she breathed a sigh of relief and finally asked, "May I ask which of you Your Excellencies are going to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

"Empress Snow Empress, Pagoda Master Xiong Jun, and His Heavenly Phoenix Crown be there."

Tang Yinmeng nodded. "I understand. Those three Your Majesties should all be at the Spirit Pagoda, right? Before I depart tomorrow, may I pay them a visit?"

"Pagoda Master Xiong Jun didn't come, and as for a visit, I'm afraid only Pagoda Master Heavenly Phoenix would accept." Gu Ruiqiu glanced at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena. "If you want to go, I can take you."

"Then I'll have to Miss Rachel." Tang Yinmeng smiled slightly.

"Nothing."

Gu Ruiqiu smiled elegantly, greeted Huo Yuhao and the others, and led Tang Yinmeng toward the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.

Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance, their tone subtle, "She can't?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and smiled:

"Don't worry, she knows what she's doing and nothing will happen to her. Let's go tell Xiaoyan and the Xu Xiaoyan about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and congratulate them on their victory."

Gu Yuena looked away and nodded. "Speaking of which, don't you think Ruiqiu's been acting a bit strange lately? All mysterious."

That girl was vying for power at home with Huo Yuhao not long ago, but she's suddenly calmed down and is getting along well with Yuhao... That's certainly a good thing. It's just that Gu Ruiqiu is often leaving early and returning late these days, and it's a bit strange to not know what she's doing.

Is the other person currently unemployed?

According to the rules of the Spirit Pagoda, she should be on temporary leave before the Spirit Ice Grand Ceremony. She shouldn't be assigned tasks like organizing the celebratory texts and props. So what is she busy with?

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly, but his tone remained calm, "They're probably... looking for something."

"Sister Zhao Yao."

Upon arriving at the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Ruiqiu went directly to her good friend, Zhao Yao, the daughter of Spirit Envoy Zhao.

Zhao Yao was leaning against the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda, toying with a strange Soul Tool that emitted a faint blue light in her hand. When she saw Gu Ruiqiu approaching, her eyes crinkled into a familiar sly smile.

"It's Ruiqiu? What's up? Is there any rumor or news you want to know?"

At this point, she moved closer to Gu Ruiqiu, put her hand to her mouth, and whispered:

"I recently found some books while organizing ancient texts. They're about the First Generation Tower Master, and the content is quite sensational. I don't know which predecessor wrote them, but it's amazing they weren't destroyed. Haven't you been collecting these things these past few days? I told you, isn't that considerate?"

Gu Ruiqiu: "..."

Well, judging from the content, she doesn't know if it was something she created, but it's still best to try to recover and destroy it. If it accidentally falls into Huo Yuhao's hands, she feels that she will be found out sooner or later.

Moreover, although it was a retaliatory act under the "general trend," looking back now, it was somewhat excessive, and it's time to correct mistakes...

Wrong!

Gu Ruiqiu shook her head violently.

She didn't do anything special; she was just a Auspicious Beast who couldn't write stories. She simply mentioned a few things casually as a reference for the "historians." Who would have thought that those responsible for compiling "Unofficial History" would be inspired by just a few words from her and write such things?

Moreover, she wasn't the only one involved; now she was the only one fighting to destroy them, which infuriated the beast.

"Give it to me later..."

Gu Ruiqiu agreed when she suddenly realized something was wrong, "Wait, how did you know I was collecting them?"

She was very careful.

"Don't forget what I do. Your sudden involvement in the preparations for the Spirit Ice Grand Ceremony made it easy for me to figure out what you were up to."

Zhao Yao didn't say much, but Gu Ruiqiu already understood.

I almost forgot, although this guy likes to spread rumors and fake news, he's actually from the intelligence department.

"That?"

Behind Gu Ruiqiu, Tang Yinmeng, who had been left out of the conversation, finally found an opportunity to join in.

Have you two finished talking?

"I'm sorry, I was rude."

Gu Ruiqiu turned around with an apologetic smile, "This is Zhao Yao next to me, practically the know-it-all of the Spirit Pagoda. Sister Zhao Yao, this is Tang Yinmeng, the Grandmaster of the Shrek Academy's Inner Court."

Zhao Yao and Tang Yinmeng greeted each other, and then, with a knowing look from Gu Ruiqiu, they smiled.

"Is this Miss Tang's first time Spirit Pagoda Headquarters?"

"It's the first time."

"Would you be interested in hearing me tell you the legends of this place?"

Tang Yinmeng paused for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Of course."

"Let's start with Pagoda Master Xiong Jun..."
