The Soul Bone Shi Nian had dropped was recovered as evidence that he had attacked a tournament participant. Blue Sunshine Academy received a severe punishment as a result and was banned from the tournament.
As for the Soul Bone, it naturally went to Shrek Academy as part of the compensation.
Flender sold it off and made quite a tidy sum.
Being able to provide more funding for the academy should have been cause for celebration.
But for the members of Shrek, another matter dulled the joy this good news had brought.
"That's what happened." Inside the academy's wooden cabin, Tang San laid out everything concerning Lin Like, Sun Moon, and the rest. The Grandmaster sat beside him, filling in the details.
The news weighed heavily on the other five. The companion who had lived alongside them day after day had actually been a spy from another continent.
"Damn it! If only we'd gotten there sooner!" Dai Mubai did not blame Tang San for helping Li Ke conceal the truth back then. Her identity really had been a sensitive matter.
He only hated himself for failing in his duty as their eldest brother.
Zhu Zhuqing held Dai Mubai's arm and said, "Don't blame yourself. Perhaps this is better for Li Ke."
Zhu Zhuqing had noticed the signs long ago, too, but she had likewise kept silent.
Thinking about it now, perhaps being taken back meant Li Ke would no longer have to agonize over where she stood.
"Sorry, I need to step out for a while." Ning Rongrong looked pale. Her close friend since childhood, and Uncle Xu, who had always looked after her, were actually enemies of the Douluo Continent.
She needed some time alone to settle her thoughts.
"Leaving that aside, Third Brother, how's your matter coming along?"
