Xuan Zi instinctively picked up the wine jug, took a sip, and sighed. "That's right. No matter the cost, we must ensure that the Sun Moon Empire releases them. What a shame, though Xiao Hongchen and the others didn't commit any mistakes, otherwise, we could have arranged a prisoner exchange. But with this incident, Fan Yu and He Caitou will likely be deported." Qian Duoduo grew anxious. "Elder Xuan, Fan Yu and He Caitou absolutely cannot be deported. They went to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy to study soul tool technology. If they are sent back, it will hinder the development of Shrek Academy's Soul Engineering Department. We must do everything we can to keep them there." Xuan Zi paused, a bit frustrated. "I understand how you feel. However, even if they stay, the Sun Moon Empire will probably keep them under strict surveillance, and they won't be allowed to enter Mingde Hall for further studies." Qian Duoduo replied, "Elder Xuan, even so, I hope we can negotiate a compromise with the Sun Moon Empire. Shrek Academy has been completely outclassed by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy in the field of soul tools. Even if Fan Yu and He Caitou are closely monitored and barred from entering Mingde Hall, as long as they can still learn more about soul tools, it will be beneficial." Xuan Zi sighed helplessly. "I'll make a trip to the Sun Moon Empire and negotiate with them." Qian Duoduo shook his head. "Elder Xuan, only you and Elder Mu cannot go to the Sun Moon Empire. Elder Mu's health is poor, and he should avoid strenuous activity. Meanwhile, you are set to inherit Elder Mu's position as the backbone of Shrek Academy's future. You and Elder Mu are far too important to risk anything happening to you. So, I plan to discuss this with Yan Shaozhe and travel with him to the Sun Moon Empire." "This..." Xuan Zi frowned slightly. "Why don't we convene a Sea God's Pavilion meeting and discuss this together? Elder Mu can make the final decision." Qian Duoduo gave a bitter smile. "Elder Mu instructed us to advance soul tool technology, yet now, Fan Yu and He Caitou have been arrested for stealing blueprints. As the Vice Dean of the Soul Engineering Department, I don't have the face to trouble Elder Mu with this matter in a Pavilion meeting." Xuan Zi's expression softened with understanding. He sighed. "Alright, then. I'll help you contact Shaozhe, and the two of you can discuss and decide." "Thank you, Elder Xuan," Qian Duoduo replied. Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. Dean's Office. Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi sat in chairs, with a table in front of them. Across from them sat Jing Hongchen. Jing Hongchen scrutinized Ye Guyi with curiosity. Could this be the benefactor Huo Yuhao mentioned before? But why would he bring her back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy? Could it be that she can no longer stay in the Three Kingdoms of Douluo? With that thought, he asked, "Yuhao, who is this young lady?" Huo Yuhao immediately introduced her. "This is Ye Guyi. On my way back, I encountered her being hunted by an evil soul master, so I stepped in and saved her." "Hunted?" Jing Hongchen's expression grew serious. He continued, "Yuhao, why was Ye Guyi being targeted by an evil soul master?" "Her martial soul is the Holy Angel," Huo Yuhao stated directly. "The Holy Angel? No wonder she was being hunted such a martial soul is an immense threat to evil soul masters." Jing Hongchen looked at Ye Guyi with some surprise. "Ye Guyi, would you be willing to join our academy?" Holy Angel martial souls were rare, possessing an uncommon divine attribute. It was said to be inherited from the Seraphim lineage of the Spirit Hall, undoubtedly making it an extraordinarily powerful martial soul. Ever since he learned that the Holy Spirit Cult was coercing students like Nana, his opinion of them and all evil soul masters had worsened significantly. Naturally, he welcomed someone like Ye Guyi, whose very existence countered them. After all, the Sun Moon Empire was bound to expel or even hunt down all evil soul masters in the future. Even Xu Tianran would likely support this plan. His current backing of the Holy Spirit Cult was merely a means to strengthen the Sun Moon Empire and use them as a tool to unify the Douluo Continent. Once that goal was achieved, no emperor would tolerate their existence. "Of course," Ye Guyi stood up from her chair, looked at Jing Hongchen, and declared firmly, "Dean Jing, on our way here, Yuhao told me many things. I am willing to join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy and become a student here." Ye Guyi had fully realized how helpless she was against evil soul masters without a strong backing. Although her martial soul naturally countered them, her current strength was too weak. She needed a stable environment to grow stronger. "Good!" Jing Hongchen smiled. "From today onward, you are a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. However, remember to avoid revealing your martial soul to outsiders whenever possible it could bring trouble." "Yes." Ye Guyi nodded firmly and sat back down. Jing Hongchen then turned to Huo Yuhao with a look of approval. "Yuhao, thanks to you, our academy has gained another excellent student. I feel like ever since you arrived, my luck has improved significantly." Huo Yuhao replied, "You flatter me, Dean. However, on my way back, I overheard many students discussing Fan Yu and He Caitou's theft of Mingde Hall's blueprints. Have you decided how to handle this matter?" At these words, a hint of helplessness appeared on Jing Hongchen's face. "What else can I do? Shrek Academy will have to provide some compensation, and then we'll release Fan Yu and He Caitou. With Xiao and the others still at Shrek Academy, I can't kill them, nor can I imprison them forever. But I have to say, the credit for catching them belongs largely to you. If you hadn't suggested strengthening Mingde Hall's security, I wouldn't have thought to install soul tool surveillance." "That's true," Huo Yuhao acknowledged with a smirk. "However, I propose that we demand the Tang Sect's secret techniques as compensation." He thought to himself, This time, I've caught Shrek Academy red handed. Shrek Academy was eager to develop its soul tool technology. Perhaps due to the previous standoff between Xuan Zi and the three rank nine soul engineers, its leadership had grown even more aware of the threat posed by soul tools, leading to this chain reaction. "The Tang Sect's secret techniques?" Jing Hongchen was taken aback. He had been planning to ask for something else, but Huo Yuhao immediately brought up the Tang Sect's secrets. What use would those be? To be honest, he knew about the Tang Sect it had once been the continent's number one sect. However, due to the rise of soul tools and the decline of hidden weapons, the Tang Sect had faded into obscurity. It might even have been wiped out entirely by now. Could a forgotten sect's secret techniques really be worth anything? Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon.
