Upon hearing Xiao Ye's words, Uncle Li immediately understood who she was referring to. He frowned and said, "Young Master, those people are a very powerful force, and in their current state, we can easily recruit them to our side!"
"If we send them to Heaven Dou City, given Qi Ling's reputation and charm, I'm afraid..."
" Uncle Li, why don't you understand?" Xiao Ye said helplessly to Uncle Li, "Now we and Qi Ling are inseparable, so it doesn't matter who becomes stronger!"
"This is because our clan's dream will be realized through Qi Ling! So the stronger he becomes, the stronger we become! Do you understand?"
Hearing Xiao Ye's words, Uncle Li said helplessly, "Yes, young master, since you've decided, I have no objections! When we get back, I'll instruct Xiao Ming to bring people over."
"Hmm, very good, Xiao Ming is also a good candidate," Xiao Ye said. "Alright, in that case, let's go!"
After Xiao Ye and the others set off, they split into two groups. Uncle Li headed towards the Star Luo Empire, while Xiao Ye, Ye Mingzhu, and Ye Mingyue headed towards the Heaven Dou Empire.
After several days and nights of travel, Xiao Ye and the others finally arrived at Heaven Dou City. Looking at the magnificent city gate before them, Xiao Ye couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, what a grand city! Much more impressive than the Star Luo Empire, don't you think, Mingzhu and Mingyue?"
Ye Mingzhu pouted and said, "Hmph, what's the use of just being grand? Wasting money on such meaningless things, no wonder the Heaven Dou Empire was overtaken by the Star Luo Empire!"
"Hehe, Mingzhu, you can't say that inside, or you'll get into trouble," Xiao Ye laughed. "You know, the people of the Heaven Dou Empire are very concerned about their reputation, and they won't tolerate such talk."
The three entered Heaven Dou City and inquired briefly before learning the location of the Shrek Academy. They then made their way to the Shrek Academy, only to be stopped by the students on duty at the school gate.
"Excuse me, but due to the special circumstances, non-students are not allowed to enter!" said the student on duty.
"Hey bro, please be kind! Look how good-looking we are, we're definitely not bad people!" Xiao Ye said pitifully, and with her cute appearance, she was indeed incredibly charming.
Unfortunately, the students on duty were all outstanding students already selected for Dragon's Glory, and naturally wouldn't let anyone in just because of a pretty face. They remained stern and said, "Sorry, no matter who you are, no one without a pass token is allowed in!"
"Damn it, you blockhead! I have something very important to do!" Xiao Ye said angrily. "If you don't move aside, I won't be polite!"
Just as a conflict between the two sides was about to erupt, a beautiful figure suddenly walked out of the academy and asked the student on duty, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Ah, Lady Qian Renxue! What brings you here!" Upon seeing Qian Renxue, the student's face immediately lit up with admiration, and he said excitedly, "It's nothing, it's just that some suspicious individuals tried to forcibly..."
" A Xue! Long time no see!" Just then, Xiao Ye suddenly rushed over and hugged Qian Renxue tightly. "I missed you so much! How are you?"
Qian Renxue was startled by Xiao Ye's actions, but after seeing Xiao Ye's face clearly, she exclaimed in surprise, " Xiao Ye? What are you doing here?"
Seeing how familiar Xiao Ye and Qian Renxue were, the student couldn't help but stare in astonishment and asked, "Lady Qian Renxue, do you know them?"
"Ah, yes, they're not outsiders, they're Qi Ling's friends too," Qian Renxue said. "Everything's alright here, I'll take them inside."
Qian Renxue knew that Xiao Ye's special visit wouldn't be without reason, so she didn't ask any further questions and led the three of them in.
Having experienced those two years in the Slaughter City, Qian Renxue knew Xiao Ye's character perfectly, so she chose to trust them immediately.
Moreover, the only reason he was initially hostile to them was because of Qian Xunji's orders. But now, the Divine Court has become his enemy, so the Sleepless City is naturally his ally.
Qian Renxue had no questions, but Xiao Ye was different. After following Qian Renxue for a short while, she immediately exclaimed in surprise, " A Xue! What's going on? Why can't I sense any Soul Power or even the presence of Martial Soul on you?"
Qian Renxue knew that Xiao Ye possessed many special abilities, so it was normal for him to see through her current situation. Therefore, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a little accident. I've lost both my Soul Power and Martial Soul."
"What? You call this a minor accident?" Xiao Ye exclaimed in surprise. " A Xue, what exactly happened? Is it related to the Divine Court's previous attack?"
Qian Renxue nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. An unexpected incident occurred during that battle."
Afterwards, Qian Renxue briefly told Xiao Ye what had happened. Upon learning that Qian Renxue had also sacrificed so much because of Qi Ling, Xiao Ye couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, really, why do so many women treat Qi Ling so well? Honestly, this guy owes us so much, let's see how he repays us in the future!"
Hearing Xiao Ye's words, Qian Renxue asked curiously, " Xiao Ye, did you come here to find Qi Ling? If so, that's unfortunate, Qi Ling hasn't returned yet."
"Oh no, I didn't come to see him, I came to bring him back!" Xiao Ye said helplessly. "I can't explain it clearly in a short time, A Xue, you should find me a safe place first."
Although Qian Renxue did not understand Xiao Ye's meaning, she still followed her instructions and led them to the bamboo forest in the academy. The bamboo house there was the place that best met Xiao Ye's requirements.
" A Xue, what happens next might be beyond your imagination! So I hope you can bring Qi Ling's most trusted people here," Xiao Ye said. "Remember, they must be his most trusted people!"
Following Xiao Ye's instructions, Qian Renxue summoned Tang San and the others. Upon seeing Xiao Ye, the Shrek members were taken aback, recognizing Xiao Ye as someone from the Star Luo Empire and the assassin organization Sleepless City, where Zhu Zhuqing belonged.
" Xiao Ye, what brings you here?" Tang San asked.
"Everyone, what I'm about to tell you, don't be afraid!" Xiao Ye said, "Because it will be beyond your comprehension, but please believe me, everything is under control!"
Afterwards, Xiao Ye took out the crystal coffin from her Soul Tool, and to avoid upsetting everyone, Xiao Ye covered it with a cloth beforehand.
" Xiao Ye, what's this?" Tang San looked at the crystal coffin, a bad feeling welling up inside him.
"Ah, it's Qi Ling here!" Xiao Ye exclaimed.
