Chapter 2836: Leaving_1
After listening to her, Xie Xie couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions and stretched out his hands to embrace her, "Ye Hui, you indeed are the person I love the most. You truly understand me!"
Yuanen Yehui, however, pushed him away and stood up, saying, "If you want to enjoy yourself, then just stay here and do that, I'm going back to the academy!"
Xie Xie immediately snapped back to reality, confused, "Eh, Ye Hui, you don't plan to stay here with me?"
Yuanen Yehui gave him a glance. "What am I supposed to do here? Take care of you? Don't forget, the academy's situation isn't that good right now, even the defense measures are still incomplete!"
She had no intention of wasting time here!
Xie Xie's face became hesitant, "This..."
Yuanen Yehui immediately saw through his thoughts and interrupted, "You don't need to think so much, we're enough to handle things at the academy, you just focus on resting well here!"
"Oh, and one more thing, Tang Xuejie (Sister Tang) also asked me to tell you that she has completely changed her opinion of you!"
Xie Xie raised an eyebrow, "Completely changed her opinion of me? What does that mean?"
He couldn't quite grasp the meaning of this sentence…
Yuanen Yehui couldn't help but let out a light laugh. "In short, all this time, in her eyes you were always a coward, but this time you were a real man!"
Xie Xie suddenly became anxious, "What? I've always been a real man, when did I become a coward??"
"In every battle, I'm almost always at the forefront, how could Tang Xuejie (Sister Tang) see me this way??"
He was truly upset!
Yuanen Yehui pursed her lips, "I think it's not just Tang Xuejie (Sister Tang) who sees you that way, but she has a prejudice against agile-attack class Soul Masters!"
After thinking it through, Xie Xie realized that was indeed the case, "Hmm… thinking about it, it seems so. After all, Tang Xuejie (Sister Tang) always looked at those agile-attack class Soul Masters differently!"
"Maybe something unpleasant happened to her before, but it's okay, at least I'm recognized now!"
Seeing that he understood, Yuanen Yehui didn't say more, "Alright, I'll take my leave now!"
However, Xie Xie stopped her, "Wait, Ye Hui, let's go back to the academy together!!"
"Compared to the academy, I should put my personal enjoyment aside!"
Yuanen Yehui was taken aback, "That's not impossible, but that Xue Yuntian seems to value you highly, I'm afraid he won't let you just leave the Douling Empire like that!!"
The corners of Xie Xie's mouth curled up, clearly having thought of a solution, he immediately replied, "Hey, that's easy, I just need to make my condition worsen, get sent back to the Sea God's Pavilion for Elder Ya'li to treat me!"
"Pretending to be sick, I'm quite good at that!!"
After saying that, he lay back on the bed and made a gesture...
"The rest is up to you, Ye Hui!!"
Yuanen Yehui opened her mouth and quietly sighed…
After adjusting her emotions, she rushed frantically towards the door...
And shouted, "It's terrible, Xie Xie's condition has suddenly worsened!!"
The surrounding guards, hearing this, rushed over…
The leading soldier asked, "Elder Yuan'en, what's happened??"
What could it be that made the face of this Elder of the Sea God Pavilion look so ghastly?
Yuanen Yehui urgently replied, "Just now, when I used my spiritual power to check on Xie Xie's condition, I found that his life force is rapidly fading!"
"Please hurry and inform His Majesty the Emperor!!"
The soldiers all exclaimed in shock, "What?? How could this be? Hasn't Elder Xie's condition always been stable??"
"Yeah, there hasn't been any problem these past few days, so why is the life force suddenly fading away?!"
"Elder Xie is His Majesty the Emperor's... no, I should say our entire imperial palace's lifesaver, absolutely nothing can go wrong!!"
"Stop blabbering, can't you see the urgency of the situation? Go notify His Majesty the Emperor and those Soul Master lords immediately!!"
Quickly, the soldiers hurried towards the direction of the grand hall...
Watching their departing figures, Yuanen Yehui's eyes were filled with complexity...
He always felt that leaving the Douling Empire in this manner was somewhat inappropriate!
...
Even though they tried to conceal it, the affairs of the imperial palace were exposed a few days later...
Attracting the attention of many...
"Have you heard? Just a few days ago, it seems His Majesty the Emperor was nearly assassinated by the Ghost Emperor, almost perishing!!"
"Really? Is the Ghost Emperor so audacious? The imperial palace should have Ultimate Douluo level protectors, it ought to be well-guarded."
"Well-guarded? That's only compared to other parts of the Douling Empire. It's said the Ghost Emperor survived the last great battle and even broke through to God Rank!!"
"Hiss, God Rank?? Doesn't that mean the Holy Spirit Cult is really going to rule all the continents??"
"It must be a rumor, if he really broke through to God Rank, who in the human world could contend with him?"
"Exactly, stop worrying needlessly here. Didn't the Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion protect His Majesty the Emperor from the Ghost Emperor's hands? That shows the Ghost Emperor is nothing much to fuss over."
"Nonsense, that Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion is now grievously injured, nearly perishing, proving the Ghost Emperor's strength is even greater than that of an average Limit Douluo. If not God Rank, then what??"
As the contradictions among the people intensified...
An older man spoke up, "Let's all calm down. Although the Ghost Emperor is strong, we should trust in Shrek Academy and the other powers. They surely won't allow the Holy Spirit Cult to take over the human world!!"
His words were instantly met with approval from everyone...
"That's right, we shouldn't be imagining things here but rather trust in Shrek Academy and the powers of the federation!!"
"The headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult has already been destroyed. With only the Ghost Emperor left, no matter how powerful, it's futile!!"
"The Ghost Emperor, nothing but a stray dog. Why should we..."
With a "pu" sound, the man who uttered these words, with no warning whatsoever, had his head cleanly sliced off, thrown high into the air...
And then it smashed onto the cold ground, blood spurting out like a fountain...
This sudden scene left everyone present dumbstruck...
It took a moment before they reacted...
"This man's head... it's been... cut off, hurry... run, everyone run!"
As these words rang out, whether commoners or Soul Masters, all began to flee desperately, fearing they'd be the next to die!!
Because they had not even seen the assailant, which meant the attacker was undoubtedly extremely powerful!!
"Hmph, thinking of escaping?? It's a bit too late, all of you become my slaves!!"
A massive surge of crimson light bloomed in all directions, enfolding everything nearby...
Without needing any techniques, just directly injecting Divine Power into these people's bodies...
