Chapter 2977: Dai Yun'er Returns_1
Watching Cai Yue'er and her companion leave, the atmosphere in the entire space fell into a long silence...
It persisted for dozens of minutes until finally, the inner court students slowly raised their heads, with the guilt in their eyes gradually turning into determination...
The leading male student took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, Elder Cai's words just now might have been harsh, but if we think about it carefully, we've been too lax recently, even less diligent in our cultivation than the outer courtyard students!"
"Yes! With this kind of attitude towards cultivation, Elder Cai will be disappointed in us. After all, we are the future of the academy. We can't always have someone shielding us from the rain!"
"That's right, starting from now, I will devote myself to cultivation and break through to Soul Emperor as soon as possible!"
"I will too. Instead of doing unnecessary things in the inner court, it's better to strengthen our power so that we can be of help when the academy is in trouble and not be overwhelmed by a surprise attack from evil Soul Masters like before!"
"What are we still doing talking here, let's hurry up and cultivate!!"
As these words were spoken, a fighting spirit ignited in the hearts of all inner court students, who hurried to their respective quarters and immediately began cultivating...
Although they were not the Shrek Seven Monsters, being able to enter the inner court undoubtedly meant they were Soul Masters of extraordinary talent!
They certainly didn't want to be looked down upon by others!!
Little did they know, Lan Muzi and Cai Yue'er, hidden above, witnessed everything that had transpired...
The former smacked his lips and exclaimed, "Elder Cai, your move really worked. It seems like these inner court students have all been motivated. I believe that in the following period, their cultivation speed will increase dramatically!"
"It's not an exaggeration to say that they might even reach a point of forgetting to eat and sleep due to intense cultivation!!"
Indeed, Elder Cai truly had a unique understanding of how to deal with the inner court students!
But Cai Yue'er shook her head and sighed, "Ah... although this can stimulate their fighting spirit in the short term, it won't last too long!"
"Whether they will continue to cultivate diligently still depends on themselves!!"
In simple terms, it's just a flash in the pan!
However, Lan Muzi didn't quite agree, whispering, "No matter what, this is still better than them being lax all the time!"
"But Elder Cai, did I speak too harshly earlier?"
To this question, Cai Yue'er merely gave him a smile that wasn't quite a smile...
Whether it was too much, she did not know!
One thing for sure though, Lan Muzi's impression in the hearts of the inner court students might undergo some subtle changes!!
...
Xingluo Empire!!
A soldier clad in armor bowed down and said in the most respectful tone, "Emperor Xue Yuntian, the State Preceptor and the others have not entered the territory of the Xingluo Empire!"
Hearing this, Dai Yueyan, seated on the throne, felt his heart racing...
"The State Preceptor and the others have not returned to the Xingluo Empire? They reached the Douling Empire long ago, so why didn't they send a message back?"
"Could it be that they have been... by the Ghost Emperor..."
No, impossible!
The State Preceptor is the renowned Holy Dragon Douluo, the undisputed strongest in the Xingluo Empire!
How could he fall so easily, and besides, there is also the support of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!!
He shook his head vigorously, casting these thoughts aside...
He ordered, "You, immediately contact the State Preceptor and the others!!"
The soldier replied, bowing again, "Your... Your Majesty, we have already tried to contact the State Preceptor and the others before this, but without success!!"
Dai Yueyan's expression darkened instantly...
"Keep trying until you get through!" he barked furiously.
The former nodded obediently and said, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
After speaking, he immediately left the hall…
Only when the figure had disappeared from view did Dai Yueyan clench his fist and savagely punch the throne…
"Damn it, what on earth happened after the State Preceptor and the others arrived in the Douling Empire!"
Suddenly, he seemed to sense a very familiar aura…
He couldn't help exclaiming, "This… this aura… could it be, Yun'er?"
As expected, the soldier who had just left hurried back into the hall…
He announced with excitement, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Her Royal Highness the Princess… Princess Yun'er has returned!"
Dai Yueyan came to his senses and forcefully suppressed his emotions, "Isn't that obvious? Let Yun'er in at once!"
The former took the order and dashed out of the hall again…
It wasn't long before Dai Yun'er stepped into the hall…
Her eyes met those of Dai Yueyan, and she softly said, "Brother, I've returned!"
On seeing this, an excited Dai Yueyan got up, disregarding his own status and ran to embrace her…
Choking up, he said, "You're back, that's good, that's good!"
Dai Yun'er, feeling his overwhelming emotions, couldn't help but pat his back and said, "Brother, this doesn't seem like you."
At her words, Dai Yueyan, somewhat reluctantly, let her go and wiped the corner of his eyes, "Because you've returned, I'm very happy, truly happy!"
He had already accepted that he might never see her again after she decided to leave!
Now, how could he not be ecstatic!
Dai Yun'er pursed her lips and asked, "If you missed me so much, why didn't you send someone to find me?"
Dai Yueyan sighed, "Yun'er, the human world is so vast, finding you would have been incredibly difficult!"
She was taken aback and puzzled, "Brother, didn't you read the letter I left behind?"
She faintly remembered that when she had left, just in case, she had left a letter that could help someone find her using the address it contained!
Dai Yueyan was also stunned, "A letter? What letter? I've received no letter that you left behind."
Dai Yun'er covered her forehead and said somewhat helplessly, "It seems the letter never reached you, brother. But it doesn't matter, I'm already back!"
Dai Yueyan snapped back to reality, about to inquire how she had been these past years…
But her expression turned serious as she spoke first, "Brother, the reason I came is not only to see you but also to discuss something important!"
Unaware of what it was about, Dai Yueyan calmed himself, "What is it?"
Dai Yun'er spoke word by word, "Several days ago, Emperor Xue Yuntian of the Douling Empire was assassinated by an evil Soul Master. Not only that, but the Evil Soul Masters are currently performing a ritual that seems to be aimed at turning everyone in the Douling Empire into evil Soul Masters!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Yueyan's eyes widened in shock, "Yun'er, how… how do you know about this?"
