Chapter 1682: Covert Cleanup (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

The other ministers' faces also changed abruptly, unable to believe that the Spirit Pagoda had so decisively cut off the supply of Artificial Spirit Souls!

One of the ministers exclaimed in anger, "This Spirit Pagoda dares to break with our Douling Empire! Do they really think we are pushovers?"

Another minister, not wanting to lose face, chimed in, "That's right! The Spirit Pagoda must now be under the control of the Evil Soul Masters. Otherwise, how could they possibly make such a move that injures themselves just to hurt us more!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, since the Spirit Pagoda intends to limit Artificial Spirit Souls from entering our Douling Empire, it no longer serves any purpose. Rather than do things by halves, we should just…"

Upon hearing this, Xue Yuntian finally could not suppress his rage and coldly shouted, "Enough!! Everyone leave!"

As these words were spoken, all the ministers bowed their heads, quickly turned, and left, fearful of becoming innocent victims of the wrath!

Only after everyone had gone did Xue Yuntian take a deep breath, regaining a trace of rationality from his anger...

At that moment, a pale-faced old man stepped out slowly, "Your Majesty the Emperor, it seems this matter greatly confounds you!"

Seeing this, Xue Yuntian's eyes showed a hint of respect, "State Preceptor, do you see any way to remedy this situation?"

The former was a Super Douluo level powerhouse, always protecting the side of every emperor!

The old man stroked his silvery white beard as he spoke with a chill in his tone, "Your Majesty, from what I see, it's time to clean house within the Douling Empire. Otherwise, the only thing awaiting the Douling Empire will be its demise!"

Those fools should never have provoked the likes of the Spirit Pagoda that holds the lifelines of Soul Masters!

Even the mighty lands of Xingluo and Soul Land had to step back in deference!

Xue Yuntian's pupils shrank sharply, "State Preceptor, you mean…"

He had not expected that the State Preceptor, who had always protected him from the shadows, would be so ruthless on such issues!

The old man's expression unchanged, he confirmed, "Indeed, I have watched the Douling Empire grow from weakness to its state today, we simply cannot allow those people to ruin it!"

"If Your Majesty finds it troublesome, just leave it all to me! I will not leave behind any loose ends."

Xue Yuntian began to ponder rapidly in his mind...

Finally, for the future of the Douling Empire, he nodded gravely and said earnestly, "Then, I entrust this matter to you, State Preceptor!"

Perhaps, this could also be used as a reason to have the Spirit Pagoda resume supplying Artificial Spirit Souls to the Douling Empire!

A fierce killing intent flashed in the old man's eyes, "Within a week, I will make those people disappear without a trace. Then, Your Majesty, you should know what to do!"

...

The next day, Shrek inner court!

Dai Yun'er, as if she were at home, patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder and asked with sparkling eyes, "Tang Wulin, I heard that your Shrek inner court is going to have a Sea God's Island matchmaking event soon, is that true or false?"

When she first heard this news, her immediate reaction was that it couldn't be possible!

It was only later that she realized this so-called event had a long history in the inner court!

But before Tang Wulin could answer, Xie Xie pursed his lips and said, "Why are you asking about this? You're not really considering yourself an inner court student of Shrek Academy now, are you?"

This guy really didn't see himself as an outsider after entering the inner court!

Ye Xinglan reminded him from the side, "Xie Xie, Dai Yun'er and Long Yue have both been approved to join the inner court, so drop the hostility!"

Gu Yue spoke up indifferently, "Yes! And the last incident was just a misunderstanding, no need to hold onto it!"

Xie Xie looked disdainfully at the two of them, "Pff, you women are so fickle, clearly... cough cough"

He had been speaking when he felt several strands of coldness climbing up his back, so he hurriedly closed his mouth and coughed a few times to mask his awkwardness!

Tang Wulin explained earnestly, "It's true, but this time the Sea God's Island matchmaking event is different from the previous ones; outer courtyard students will also be participating!"

Dai Yun'er's beautiful eyes lit up as she eagerly asked, "Really? Doesn't that mean I can participate with Big Brother Long... too?"

Long Yue said with little interest, "Yun'er, I am really not interested in that!"

Of course, he had a rough idea why Dai Yun'er was interested in the Sea God's Island matchmaking event!

After pondering for a moment, Tang Wulin said, "You should be able to, since you are staying here as an inner court student now!"

Not concealing the excitement on her face, Dai Yun'er exclaimed, "That's great! It's really wonderful!"

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan immediately came to her side, curious, "Dai Yun'er... no, I should call you Her Royal Highness the Princess. Could it be that during your time at Shrek Academy, you have taken a fancy to one of the male students??"

Otherwise, why would she be so excited!

As soon as this was said, everyone's gaze turned toward her...

Dai Yun'er, under the scrutiny of so many, frantically shook her head in denial, "No... no, I'm just purely happy about being able to participate in this event!"

This explanation caused everyone to retract their gazes...

Feeling bored, Xie Xie muttered, "That's right, Dai Yun'er has only been here a few days; she probably hasn't met many students yet, and it's not likely she's here for our Teacher Xu, right?"

However, no sooner had he spoken than Dai Yun'er's delicate body trembled fiercely, and then she quickly regained her composure...

This subtle detail was perfectly captured by the former, who then looked incredulous and exclaimed in shock, "Oh my..."

Could it be that Dai Yun'er was planning to stir up trouble at the Sea God's Island matchmaking event?

Bear in mind that the White-haired Witch... Teacher Shen is pursuing Teacher Xu!!

Dai Yun'er is like a moth flying straight into the flame!

...

As for the outer courtyard, when the news spread that the Sea God's Island matchmaking event would allow outer courtyard students to participate, the situation turned out to be much hotter than imagined!

"Did you hear? Just a moment ago, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion announced that this year's Sea God's Island matchmaking event is open to outer courtyard students, of course, provided they are third year and above!"

"Yeah, students below third year shouldn't lose heart, although they can't participate, they can still watch!"

"I never thought the seniors from the inner court who have been gone for so long haven't forgotten to bring some benefits for us juniors, so touching!"

"I feel like there's something off about what you said! If those sacrificed seniors heard that, they might just come back to life out of sheer anger!"

"I thought I'd never be able to get into the inner court in my lifetime, but now, not only can I enter the inner court for a visit, but I can also attend the Sea God's Island matchmaking event! We are truly blessed by the spirits of our seniors in heaven!"

"I finally have the opportunity to boldly confess to the person I like. Long live the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion! Long live Shrek Academy!"
