"Hiss..." Elder Cheng glanced at Xu Cheng.
Why did this kid harbor so much hostility toward Shrek Academy?
Was that really necessary?
"It really is necessary, Teacher," Xu Cheng said with a shrug. "Given my status and the fighting spirit I displayed not long ago, I'm afraid the entire Three Kingdoms are hostile toward me."
"True..." Elder Cheng nodded.
"Eliminating you would be enough to plunge the Sun Moon Empire into chaos for a while. That must be quite a temptation for both the Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy."
"How about having Old Kong go with you?" Elder Cheng asked with a frown.
"Well... there's no need to go that far." Xu Cheng gave two awkward coughs.
Who was Elder Kong?
The pillar that steadied the Sun Moon Empire's seas!
A terrifying existence comparable to a Level 99 Limit Douluo.
That would be the equivalent of deploying nuclear weapons.
"Heh, trust me, that old fellow wants you alive more than most people do," Elder Cheng said with a smile. "He has one-quarter Sun Moon imperial blood and genuinely hopes to see the Sun Moon Empire grow ever stronger. Three years ago, before you had your current reputation, he wouldn't have cared whether you lived or died. But now..."
"If anything happened to you, the Sun Moon Empire would inevitably descend into turmoil. A Succession Struggle between princes is largely a contest between the forces backing them. You might die, but the forces behind you-the Military Headquarters, the Holy Spirit Cult, and the two beast-type soul engineer corps-certainly wouldn't sit quietly. Your Aunt Qing, especially, would probably charge straight out with her army. At that point, even Kong Deming would struggle to clean up the mess."
Elder Cheng grinned as he spoke.
"..."
Xu Cheng scratched his head.
*Why did that
