Na'er, watching from the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Brother, this isn't the right way to slap him in the face. It shouldn't be that you had a conflict with him, then he made things difficult for you, even insulted you, and then physically assaulted you, only to find out your true identity after it was all over, and then he felt so much regret, even kneeling in front of you begging for your forgiveness?"
"Why are you introducing yourself now? This isn't the right way to go. It doesn't feel right at all. In a typical novel, this would be enough to fill several chapters."
Yu Longyue turned to look at her. "That's too much of a waste of time. I don't have that much time to waste with him. I have a lot of things to deal with. Besides, your approach is outdated."
"What? I just wanted to see if the scenes in novels would happen in real life." Na'er pouted.
Yu Longyue seemed to remember something, looked at Huang Sanshao, and introduced, "Oh, and let me tell you, this is my sister."
Huang Sanshao was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Na'er again, and his face turned extremely ugly.
Alright, a prince and a princess.
How did these two important figures end up in front of me?
He had no doubt whatsoever; the Pavilion Master had probably summoned him here specifically for the two of them.
Moreover, he lacked the ability and resources to gamble on whether their identities were genuine or not.
Betting on them is a sham. If they're right, it'll be a false alarm; if they're wrong, they'll be doomed. They wouldn't have enough lives to kill.
He wouldn't dare.
"This is boring, really boring," Na'er snorted. "Brother, you're not playing by the rules, how can that be considered a slap in the face?"
Yu Longyue raised her hand and tapped Na'er on the head. "You've been reading too many novels. In reality, there aren't that many dramatic face-slapping scenes. Most of the time, it's more efficient to just state your identity directly."
Na'er rubbed the spot where she had been hit, muttering in dissatisfaction, "But this isn't fun at all."
"We don't need to gain satisfaction from humiliation. Besides, we're here to solve problems, not to create conflict."
After speaking, Yu Longyue looked at Huang Sanshao again:
You're right, aren't you?
"Young Master Yu, you're right." Sweat began to pour down Huang Sanshao's forehead. This time, he finally understood clearly what this young master had come for.
This is to settle accounts for the accident that happened a year ago.
Yu Longyue's expression softened as she poured herself some tea and slowly said:
"A year ago, the area under your jurisdiction suffered a massive invasion of Eastsea City by Evil Soul Master due to your negligence. It was even subjected to a long-term array, resulting in 3,572 deaths, 13,532 serious injuries, and 95,329 minor injuries—a loss of over 100,000 people. Do you know your crime?"
Huang Sanshao's expression began to panic. "No, no, Young Master Yu, I've tried my best, I really haven't found any trace of those Evil Soul Master."
"So, how did you work so hard?" Yu Longyue's smile widened.
"I led a team to search the area around Eastsea City, but we found no trace of Evil Soul Master..."
"That can't be right. I heard that you issued the order in Shrek City. You only had your troops conduct a token search and didn't cooperate with the local Federation army's actions or the Tang Sect's Soul Fighting Hall's operations at all."
Yu Longyue took out her phone, tapped a few times, and then pointed the screen at Huang Sanshao's face, showing him the chat history.
"The evidence is right here."
"You... you're monitoring my phone?!" Huang Sanshao suddenly raised his head, looking at Yu Longyue in disbelief.
"I'm sorry, but I should say I have all the information online. As long as you post information, my team can find it out. That's what happens when the company I run is in this business," Yu Longyue shrugged, indicating her innocence. "Oh, by the way, it's all legal and compliant. After all... we're also cooperating with the Federation."
"Have you seen the Federation cybersecurity laws released recently? Simply put, we work with the Federation to maintain cybersecurity, understand?"
Huang Sanshao shook his head in confusion.
Yu Longyue was too lazy to waste any more words. She put down her phone and took a sip of tea.
"Okay, is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Huang Sanshao immediately knelt before Yu Longyue, begging for mercy, "Young Master Yu, please have mercy and give me another chance to atone for my sins!"
"I really didn't neglect my duty on purpose. I truly never expected those Evil Soul Master to be so bold as to carry out a decapitation strike against you."
"If you simply stick to your posts and do your job well, you'll be seen in the operations in Eastsea City. Why would I need to come all the way here to visit you?" Yu Longyue's smile was gentle and warm, but it also sent a chill down one's spine, making one shiver involuntarily.
It's like 8 a. m. in winter. While people are sound asleep, the curtains are quietly drawn back, and the warm sun shines directly on their faces, accompanied by a biting cold wind.
Huang Sanshao kowtowed repeatedly, saying hastily, "Young Master Yu, I will atone for my sins! Yes, yes, I will atone for my sins! I will go and kill the Evil Soul Master right now to avenge you! Can you forgive me?"
"No need to make an example of the Evil Soul Master." Yu Longyue put down her teacup, stretched, and smiled. "I have a way to forgive you right now, it just depends on whether you're willing to do it."
"I'm willing, of course I'm willing! Please give me your orders, Young Master Yu."
Looking at Huang Sanshao, who resembled a lapdog, Yu Longyue was momentarily at a loss for words.
Compared to this, he felt those Evil Soul Master were quite normal. As for this person, how exactly did he climb up the ranks?
It's truly an unsolved mystery.
Yu Longyue stretched out her hand. "Step forward."
Huang Sanshao was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and took a step forward.
Yu Longyue calculated the distance and then said, "Take another step forward."
Huang Sanshao obediently took another step forward, a smile spreading across his face:
"Young Master Yu, what do you think..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Longyue's expression suddenly turned cold. Without saying a word, she threw a punch that landed hard on Huang Sanshao's face.
"Bang!"
Huang Sanshao had no time to react. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string. He didn't even have time to let out a scream before he crashed through the office wall and flew out of the teaching building.
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, Huang Sanshao's body landed on the inner courtyard playground a hundred meters away, creating a large crater. His right cheek was dented, blood was flowing from his facial features, and he even suffered a dislocated cervical spine.
This sudden scene instantly caught the attention of the inner court disciples who were having class on the playground. They all stopped their cultivation and looked over in surprise.
"Isn't that Huang Sanshao? How did he get knocked out of there?"
"Who did this? How dare they do it in the inner courtyard?"
"Go check it out quickly!"
The inner disciples were buzzing with discussion, and many had already rushed to the training ground to see what had happened.
Yu Longyue flashed and appeared in front of Huang Sanshao.
"You... you..."
Huang Sanshao was, after all, a Soul Douluo. This punch made him slur his words and almost faint, as if he saw his great-grandmother.
Yu Longyue reached out and patted his cheek:
"Take ten punches from me, and I'll forgive you. This is the first punch. Are you willing to accept it?"
This is only the first punch?!
Huang Sanshao trembled uncontrollably, his eyes filled with fear. He was now filled with deep regret.
I never imagined that my negligence would attract such a jinx.
"Young Master Yu, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have neglected my duty. I shouldn't have failed to protect Eastsea City. I shouldn't have failed to lead the team to cooperate with the Federation's operation and properly investigate whether any Evil Soul Master had appeared in the Eastsea City area..." Huang Sanshao's voice was tinged with sobs. He only wanted to beg for Yu Longyue's forgiveness.
Yu Longyue shook her neck, a smile on her face:
"No, you did nothing wrong, it was just negligence, nothing serious. I'm a magnanimous person, I'll naturally forgive your dereliction of duty. Come on, second punch."
"No, no, don't come any closer!!!"
Ignoring everything else, Yu Longyue threw another punch, this time with unparalleled power and speed, slamming it hard into Huang Sanshao's abdomen.
"Boom!"
The collision of fist and abdomen produced a loud sound, and Huang Sanshao's body was sent flying backward like a stone thrown by a catapult.
Huang Sanshao's body traced an arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
The ground collapsed under the enormous impact, forming a huge crater.
At the edge of the pit, dirt and gravel flew everywhere, and dust billowed.
"Crack--" Cracks began to appear on the ground around the crater, and these cracks spread rapidly, like a giant spider web covering the entire playground.
Yu Longyue followed him like a shadow, appearing before him again with a smiling face. She even took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and her white clothes were spotless.
"Come on, get ready for your third punch. Activate your Martial Soul and Battle Armor too. I don't want to beat you to death."
"You... kill me..."
Huang Sanshao lay in the middle of the pit, spitting out blood as he murmured.
"If I kill you, won't I become a murderer? No, no, no, that won't do." Yu Longyue coaxed gently, "Be good, listen to me, activate your Martial Soul Battle Armor."
"Kill me, I absolutely won't!"
Are you kidding me? If you do, won't you just become an even easier target for punching bags?
He'd rather be beaten to death by Yu Longyue.
He finally understood. He had been so smug about not being punished by the college for his dereliction of duty a year ago.
Now I truly understand that it was the academy that unilaterally kept him in reserve, allowing Yu Longyue to take action personally.
Yu Longyue shook her head and stepped forward. "Won't open it? No problem, there are plenty of ways to make you open it."
After saying that, he threw another punch.
"Boom!!!"
