Chapter 456: Discovery (Please Subscribe)_1
Little did they know, another person emerged from the greyish-white vortex...
It was none other than Wu Feng, who, in her drowsy state, realised that Elder Qian Yu had left during her sleep and impulsively followed...
Wu Feng said with some displeasure, "Elder Qian Yu actually left us behind and came out on her own, that's really too much!"
The next moment, her gaze began to survey her surroundings, and in an instant, she was captivated by the enormous imperial palace...
She could even see, not far away, several soldiers standing guard at the palace...
Wu Feng couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "This... Is this the Sun-Moon Empire Imperial Palace? What is Elder Qian Yu doing here alone?"
Her eyes fixed on the palace ahead, where lights were coming on, she silently pep-talked herself, "I'll just take a look, and then I'll leave!"
Then, she stepped lightly and ascended the stairs...
Bending down, she peered through the crack of the door, and when she saw the figures inside the palace, her pupils suddenly constricted...
Before her eyes, Elder Qian Yu and Juzi were sitting and discussing something, while Xu Tianran, the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, stood respectfully aside!
She was secretly shocked, "Elder Qian Yu is so familiar with the Emperor and the Fleet Admiral of the Sun-Moon Empire!"
Moreover, her curiosity was piqued, and she continued to spy on them, holding her breath...
Juzi nodded lightly, "Yes, I do plan to use the Holy Spirit Cult to deal with the Great Sects and academies. At this moment, the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult should have gathered at the entire Continent's young elites' soul master competition. As soon as the competition is over, they will take action!"
Elder Qian Yu's eyes turned colder, "Juzi, why do this?"
Seeing this, Xu Tianran beside her hurriedly said, "Master, it was my fault for not stopping her. If you're going to blame anyone, blame me!"
Wu Feng, who was eavesdropping, was dumbstruck, "The Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire is actually calling Elder Qian Yu 'Master'! What on earth is going on? Could it be... Elder Qian Yu is the real puppet master of the Sun-Moon Empire?"
The Sun-Moon Empire, which they at Shrek Academy had always been wary of, was actually being controlled by Elder Qian Yu, a member of the Sea God's Pavilion!
Had she not seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it!
No, she had to find out what was really going on!
Hearing Juzi's words, Elder Qian Yu bowed her head silently, whispering softly, "Qian Yu, I know that cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult..."
Elder Qian Yu shook her head, "No, I don't mean to blame you. But since we're going to use the Holy Spirit Cult, you must first ensure your own safety. They are unscrupulous! If they make a move on you, you won't be able to resist at all!"
Juzi's beautiful eyes were taken aback, she laughed softly and then affectionately embraced Qian Yu, whispering by his ear, "I understand, you're here with me, aren't you?"
Elder Qian Yu's pale golden eyes glanced briefly at the door, then she spoke to Xu Tianran, "Xu Tianran, you may leave us for now."
A hint of understanding flashed across Xu Tianran's face as he nodded respectfully, "Yes!"
With that, he headed toward the door...
Meanwhile, Wu Feng, who was spying, was startled to see Xu Tianran coming her way, thinking, "Oh no!"
Without a second thought, she turned and ran downstairs...
Footsteps went "thump, thump, thump" outside...
Xu Tianran paused in his steps, turning to ask Elder Qian Yu, bewildered, "Master, why did you let her go?"
Surprise flickered in Juzi's beautiful eyes, "Was there someone eavesdropping outside just now?"
Elder Qian Yu responded calmly, "Yes, it was one of my team members, don't worry about it."
Wu Feng had been discovered by him the moment she emerged from the vortex...
Upon hearing this, Juzi leaned gently against Qian Yu's chest, murmuring tenderly, "Okay..."
...
The next day, Elder Qian Yu stroked the hair of the still-asleep Juzi, and the creases in the sheets below them seemed to tell of something intense that had transpired...
He then slowly dressed and stood up, smiling faintly at Juzi, "I'll be leaving first."
Having said that, he stepped into the Nether Vortex and walked through...
And the sleeping Juzi's Beautiful Eyes quietly opened, gazing at the vortex that hadn't yet vanished before her, a glimmer of obscure light flashing across her eyes...
"Qian Yu, I've outsmarted you once again..."
Because my goal is no longer the Xingluo Empire...
It's the entire Continent!
...
As Qian Yu stepped out of the ash-colored vortex, he found himself surrounded by people from Shrek Academy!
Their eyes were all fixed on him...
With a twinkle in his Beautiful Eyes, Ningtian playfully said, "Elder Qian Yu, why are you only returning now? You didn't go off to meet that woman, did you?"
Xiao Xiao, with a sly smile, said, "How could that be, Qian Yu's favorite is Dong'er, isn't it? Such a faithful good man!"
Facing their playful remarks, the corners of Qian Yu's mouth twitched...
Is this woman's intuition?
Dai Yaoheng, with a puzzled look, asked, "Elder Qian Yu, did Wu Feng leave with you? We haven't seen her since early morning."
Qian Yu's eyes hardened, and he shook his head, "No."
Ling Luochang said coldly, "Could something have happened to Wu Feng?"
The honesty in He Caitou's eyes vanished as he muttered, "Without seven people, we can't participate in the tournament. Why would she leave at this time?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the door "Crack" opened...
The person who walked in was naturally Wu Feng, who had hurried back overnight from the Sun-Moon Empire Imperial Palace!
Ningtian opened his arms and gave Wu Feng a bear hug, then he inquired, "Wu Feng? Why are you only back now? We thought something had happened to you."
Dai Yaoheng grumbled, "Remember to let us know next time you decide to go out."
Wu Feng's Beautiful Eyes met Qian Yu's gaze, with the former subconsciously avoiding it...
She turned to Ningtian and the others with an awkward smile, "Um, sorry to worry everyone, I... I just went out to have a bit of fun."
Qian Yu shifted his gaze away and said indifferently, "Now that you're here, let's go. The competition is about to start!"
Then, the group quickly made their way toward the venue of the Continental Youth Soul Master Elite Competition...
When they arrived, the entire venue echoed with an excited man's voice...
It was not the elderly man who hosted yesterday's match…
The man loudly announced, "Sky Grass Battle Team versus Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy, Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy wins!"
"Next up, the Holy Spirit Battle Team versus the Cang Lan Battle Team! Match format: team battle!"
A hint of surprise crossed Qian Yu's face; this year's Continental Youth Soul Master Elite Competition seemed rather casual...
Everyone found a spot to sit down, but as soon as they did, they felt several gazes fixed upon them...
Qian Yu turned his head and saw a team sitting next to them, all members wearing white hats, their eyes shadowed as they looked over to his side...
Ningtian frowned but chose not to engage...
Dai Yaoheng, already in a bad mood from the morning, stood up furiously and roared, "What are you looking at? Want me to slap you dead?"
Ling Luochang grabbed him and pulled him back down, reminding, "We're representing Shrek Academy right now!"
Dai Yaoheng glared coldly at the nearby team and then sat down indignantly...
Qian Yu calmly withdrew his gaze and thought to himself, "Evil Soul Masters?"
Despite their good disguise, the evil aura they emitted couldn't be concealed from Qian Yu at all...
