Stolen Right in Front of Him

Before he could even speak...

A clear, cool, and elegant female voice came from the other side.

"You can't say that, can you?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

A fiery red figure appeared beside Gu Yue without anyone noticing.

She was a woman of unparalleled beauty.

Her face was as fair as jade, her figure tall and graceful, her posture elegant and mature.

Her long, Lie Yan red hair was casually tied up, with a few strands falling loosely and fluttering gently in the wind.

She had a pair of clear, reddish-gold eyes, and her temperament was as fiery as the blazing sun, exuding a beautiful yet arrogant and domineering Haki.

She wore a long, gold-red dress embroidered with exquisite phoenix patterns, exuding elegance and a powerful aura.

Leng Yaozhu!

Deputy Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda!

She actually came too!

Moreover, judging from her position, she was clearly standing behind Gu Yue, showing a protective attitude.

The surrounding Outer Court disciples instinctively took a few steps back.

Oh My God.

What day is it today?

The number one expert on the mainland and the deputy master of the Spirit Pagoda have actually appeared at the same time by the Sea God Lake?!

This is quite a spectacle!

Leng Yaozhu stood beside Gu Yue, her crimson-gold eyes sweeping over Liang Chuan on the ground before looking at Yun Ming, a slight smirk playing on her lips.

"A student from Shrek Inner Court court, using Battle Armor instead."

Her voice was cool and clear, yet every word was distinct.

"My little apprentice, of course I have to give it my all!"

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Bai Yushan, who had leaped to her side.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

No wonder he's her student.

Leng Yaozhu felt quite pleased with herself.

She definitely made the right choice in accepting this student.

Exceptionally gifted, and ruthless enough.

Most importantly, they are protective of their own.

If anyone dares to bully those around him, he's ready to kill them.

She likes this kind of personality.

Bai Yushan jumped to Leng Yaozhu's side and called out with a grin, "Teacher."

Leng Yaozhu rolled her eyes at him but didn't say anything.

But the doting look in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Gu Yue stood to the side, watching Bai Yushan and Leng Yaozhu's interaction, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She knew the teacher would come.

After all, Bai Yushan was her most prized student.

Leng Yaozhu withdrew her gaze and looked back at Yun Ming, continuing, "Everyone knows that Shrek Academy students are world-renowned. If we don't treat them well and lose, we could end up with broken arms and legs."

That was a very blunt statement.

It's clear that the students at the Shrek Academy are incredibly talented.

In reality, it was a mockery of Liang Chuan for bullying the weak, using his Five-Ring Soul King cultivation to activate his One-Word Battle Armor and bully a Soul Elder of level thirty-something.

And in the end, they lost.

They lost so badly.

That was a resounding slap in the face.

The Outer Court disciples around them all lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe loudly.

They could sense a tense atmosphere permeating the air.

Even a verbal exchange between the two Limit Douluo put them under immense pressure.

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming showed no anger.

He merely glanced at Leng Yaozhu indifferently, then shook his head.

He and Leng Yaozhu were old acquaintances.

He knew a little about the temperament of this Spirit Pagoda.

Defensive, sharp-tongued, and unforgiving even when in the right.

Arguing with her verbally is a complete waste of time.

Yun Ming turned his gaze to the students who were watching.

Before anyone knew it, students had gathered in droves.

The area around Sea God Lake was completely surrounded by layers of people.

There are Outer Court and Inner Court.

They craned their necks, curiously observing the people in the room.

After all, the sight of the number one person on the mainland and the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda appearing at the same time is not something that can be seen every day.

Yun Ming frowned.

"Don't we have to go to class?"

He spoke.

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire Sea God Lake.

"Go back!"

The reprimand was delivered in a soft voice, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.

The Shrek Outer Court who had been watching scattered like birds and beasts, as if granted a pardon.

They all ran faster than rabbits.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace.

The disciples of the Inner Court did not leave immediately.

Their gazes swept back and forth between Bai Yushan and Leng Yaozhu, their eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.

However, after Yun Ming's gaze swept over them, they obediently retreated.

Soon, only a few people remained by Sea God Lake.

Yun Ming, Leng Yaozhu, Bai Yushan, Gu Yue, Na'er, and several academy teachers who had rushed over.

One of the teachers quickly walked over to Liang Chuan and checked his injuries.

Then, he took out a bottle of pills from his Storage Soul Tool and fed them to Liang Chuan.

"Master, Liang Chuan's injuries... are quite serious."

The teacher looked up at Yun Ming, his tone somewhat grave.

"Several bones are broken, the meridians are severely damaged, and the Soul Power is disordered. He needs to rest and recuperate for a while."

Yun Ming nodded.

"Take him back and get him proper treatment."

"Yes."

The teacher responded and, together with two other teachers, lifted Liang Chuan up and walked towards the academy.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Bai Yushan one last time.

His eyes were filled with complex emotions.

This boy is terrifying.

If word of this battle were to get out, it would probably shake the entire Douluo Continent.

After Liang Chuan was taken away.

The Sea God Lake have returned to tranquility.

Only the sound of waves gently lapping against the shore could be heard.

Yun Ming turned his gaze to Na'er.

His gaze softened instantly.

That gentleness, that compassion, was completely different from the disappointment she felt when facing Liang Chuan, and the calm she showed when facing Leng Yaozhu.

It's like a father looking at his beloved daughter.

"Na'er, come here."

He called out softly.

His voice was filled with deep affection.

Na'er subconsciously looked at Bai Yushan.

Her little hand had somehow already linked with Bai Yushan's arm.

Its small body nestled close to Bai Yushan's side, like a kitten that had found its owner.

Hearing Yun Ming's call, she hesitated for a moment.

Then, she looked up at Yun Ming and whispered, "Teacher, it's been so long since I've seen Brother Xiaoshan."

Although he did not explicitly refuse.

But the meaning is already quite close.

She didn't want to go.

She wanted to stay by Xiaoshan's side.

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming's face stiffened.

A hint of frustration flickered in those calm, deep eyes.

He and Ya Li had no children in their lifetime.

He doted on his apprentice, Na'er, just like a daughter.

After spending more than a year together, we finally became somewhat closer.

Na'er is now willing to sweetly call him "teacher".

But what about now?

That damned evil brat from the Spirit Pagoda stole all the attention from my sweet, soft little cotton-padded jacket the moment he arrived.

How could Yun Ming be happy about this?

Looking at Na'er's small hand linked with Bai Yushan's arm, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

My Xiao Bai, which I've been raising for over a year, was eaten by a wild boar.

This feeling is just... indescribable.
