On the roof of the tallest building at Shrek Academy.
Two 'immortal' old women stood with their hands behind their backs, looking down at the increasingly deserted campus of Shrek Academy.
"No undercover, we can talk." Elder Lin, the head of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, spoke. "Elder Song, did you ask me to meet in secret because of that book, 'Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons'?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Song sighed deeply. "Yes. I never thought that our suspicion from a while ago would actually become a reality. We only suspected him back then, but we never thought that there would actually be such a dark past behind him."
"Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons!"
The wise and mighty Ultimate Douluo, Dragon God Mu En, who had supported Shrek for over a hundred years, was secretly a subordinate of an Evil Soul Master… and so…
Indecent…
Every time she recalled the outrageous scenes in "Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons," Elder Song felt that the worldview she had spent nearly two hundred years shaping was being challenged like never before.
Even as an old woman, she couldn't help but sigh and think that powerhouses really knew how to have fun.
Was it because she wasn't perverted enough that she was stuck at level 97 and couldn't break through?
Elder Song fell into a daze.
And coincidentally, under a strange train of thought, Lin Huiqun was thinking the same thing as Elder Song. The two old women, whose ages combined were over three hundred, had just had a thought-slip without any warning.
'Could it be… that everyone who makes it to the top at Shrek is truly a genius?'
The two old women looked at each other and saw a strange expression in the other's eyes. They both gave an awkward cough to ease the outrageous atmosphere in the air.
It could be said that they were indeed worthy of being people who could speak in code. They only needed a look to know if the other's mind was healthy.
Elder Song quickly changed the subject. "Xiao Lin, what do you think we should do now?"
When she brought this up, the unnatural expression on Elder Song's face turned into one of deep worry.
The potential stain on Elder Xuan was already a major blow to Shrek, and now with Mu En, the Sea God Pavilion Master, it made this old woman, who had lived her entire life at Shrek Academy, a little confused about the current situation.
Using the phrase "hearing the wind and mistaking every bush for a soldier" was the perfect way to describe Elder Song's current state.
"Huh? Me?"
"Elder Song, aren't you making things difficult for me?" Lin Huiqun clutched her forehead, her face showing a pained expression. "If you don't know what to do, how would I know? I'm just a business owner who manages a guild."
The two old women stared at each other, completely at a loss as to what to do.
"How about… we start a rebellion?" Lin Huiqun suddenly said. "The academy is currently in a state of turmoil. It's the perfect time for us to lead a rebellion and restore a clean and bright future for the academy!"
"What rebellion? What are you saying!" Elder Song's eyes widened when she heard this. "We're not starting a rebellion. This is called 'setting things right and restoring order'!"
"Right, right, setting things right and restoring order!" Lin Huiqun smiled and nodded.
The two old women smiled at each other, and a meaningful look appeared on both their faces.
"Let's, then, restore a clear and bright future for Shrek Academy!"
The two old-timers looked down at Shrek Academy with a heroic spirit, and the thought they had earlier resurfaced in their minds.
'Who says the position of Sea God Pavilion Master can't be held by a woman? Who says I can't be the Sea God Pavilion Master? If Mu En, a loser who was bewitched by an Evil Soul Master temptress and became her subordinate, can sit in the Sea God Pavilion Master's seat for a hundred years, then why can't we?'
'Who says women are inferior to men!!!'
Let's go for it!
Clatter…
Just then, the two powerhouses with sharp senses heard a faint sound from downstairs.
The two looked at each other and instantly disappeared from their spot, leaving only a single, solemn, and cautious sentence that drifted away with the wind.
"There's an undercover, plan postponed!"
…
"Sizzle…"
On the grill, a few pieces of meat, generously brushed with seasoning and sauce, continuously gave off an enticing aroma. The high temperature of the charcoal fire allowed the meat and seasoning to combine perfectly. The fat rendered by the high heat dripped onto the charcoal fire, making a mouth-watering sound.
Lin Yun stood in front of the grill, wearing a large, toad-like pair of sunglasses. The corner of his mouth curved into the arc of a Dragon King. His hands quickly flipped the meat, and he smoothly brushed on layers of seasoning and sauce.
This was probably the reason he didn't return to the inner court immediately.
He was embracing a beauty, drinking fine wine, and laughing as he watched the soul master world change, waiting for Shrek to decline.
These past few days, he had been with Xiao Xiao in the outer court. He had taken out a lot of the seafood he had preserved from his time at sea to feed the little loli. Perhaps she had gotten a taste for it, but the little loli seemed to really like the garlic chili sauce and oyster station food and would even fight with Lin Yun for it.
Her fighting power every night was also quite formidable…
It made Lin Yun a little nervous. He was always careful when playing games with the little loli, afraid of "breaking" the delicate and soft Xiao Xiao…
After all, the physical condition of the two of them was not on the same level at all. Even though Xiao Xiao had absorbed a hundred-thousand-year soul bone and had greatly enhanced her physical condition, what was Lin Yun's configuration?
He had the Golden Dragon King's origin essence and a soul blood core, and his soul power level was close to a Soul Sage.
Even the Ice Empress couldn't withstand Lin Yun's fierce onslaught, so a little loli like Xiao Xiao was out of the question.
Lin Yun felt a little troubled.
He felt that it was time for him to come clean with Xiao Xiao, at least to tell her his identity. Then, when she was both "weak" and loved to "play" but couldn't "handle it," he could bring out the Ice Empress so that he could "play poker" with two little lolis.
Otherwise, it was just too tormenting.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun sighed softly and placed the grilled meat on a plate, putting it in front of Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian.
As for why Ning Tian was here?
Originally, Lin Yun didn't have any thoughts of winning Ning Tian over. No matter how strong the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda's support ability was, Ning Tian simply couldn't keep up with Lin Yun's growth.
For example, even now, with Ning Tian having obtained her fourth soul ring, her Soul Sect cultivation couldn't provide much of a boost to Lin Yun, a cheater who already had the fighting power of a Titled Douluo.
And her own soul power couldn't last for long and would be completely drained by Lin Yun in minutes.
Even if her spirit had evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, it would still be the same. The essence of the spirit may have become stronger, but it couldn't change the fact that her own soul power cultivation was insufficient. As long as her soul power couldn't keep up with Lin Yun, she would just be a pretty face.
But he couldn't help it; this girl was just too sensible and understood her own status and position. Even without a flawed map, Ning Tian could accurately figure out her own place and never caused Lin Yun any trouble.
In addition to that, the young lady's demeanor she had cultivated since childhood in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Clan was that of a true noblewoman—elegant, calm, and poised.
Lin Yun even felt that this girl, Ning Tian, was more talented than Xixi. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Clan was the same. They were too tactful. It was no wonder that Tang San wasn't particularly close to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, but he had a close relationship with Oscar and Ning Rongrong.
They were sensible and capable!
'If you, Tang San, can have your dogs, then why can't I, Lin, have mine?'
What a joke!
Such a useful double agent would be a waste not to have. Lin Yun believed that as long as his power was strong enough and he gave enough benefits, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Clan would kill people more ruthlessly and cruelly than they would Fierce Beasts!
And after the intentional and unintentional probing over the past two days, he had a pretty good grasp of Ning Tian's attitude.
It was… quite submissive. Her attitude toward him was no different from how Xixi acted around him, but it wasn't as obvious. After all, she was still the young lady of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Clan and would use a more appropriate way to give Lin Yun more emotional value.
It seemed that the Glazed Jade Tea that had been gathering dust in his soul tool could be given to her.
Looking at Ning Tian, who was giving him a sweet smile, Lin Yun's eyes under his sunglasses narrowed slightly, and his expression became meaningful.
Taking in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Clan was a casual move. If used well, it could play a significant role. If not, it wouldn't be much of a loss to him.
It was just a Glazed Jade Tea, after all, and he, Lin Yun, could afford the loss.
Having both wins and losses was normal. As long as you were gambling, you couldn't escape these two outcomes. But Lin Yun believed that winning and losing were more often determined by your strength, not your luck.
And coincidentally, the one thing he didn't lack was strength.
At least, it was like this when Tang San couldn't interfere with the matters of the Douluo Continent.
With the strength to flip the table, Lin Yun would not lose.
