Resign

Zang Xin felt his guess was likely true as soon as he heard the news, but he was powerless to do anything about it. After all, the Southern Legion was not a small force. What he didn't expect was that the next news confirmed his suspicion.

Zhuo Shi said: "There is another piece of news from the Spirit Pagoda. According to some staff members, many mid-level positions in the Spirit Pagoda have been transferred in recent months, and the destinations of these people are all the same: the South. This is probably Leng Yaozhu's doing."

Zang Xin frowned slightly and said: "Why are we only hearing this now? Didn't we agree to focus on the news about the Southern Legion and Leng Yaozhu from the Spirit Pagoda?"

Zang Xin was not blaming Zhuo Shi, but he felt the news was too late. They had been ordered to keep an eye on Le Zhengen and Leng Yaozhu three months ago.

Unexpectedly, the news from both the Blacksmiths Association and the Spirit Pagoda came so late. It seemed that the Blacksmiths Association had not paid attention, and the Spirit Pagoda should have been more vigilant.

Zhuo Shi sighed and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Although graduates from the academy won't be targeted by the Spirit Pagoda, it's not easy to become a mid-level or high-level person there."

"The reason why we are reporting this now is because the personnel transfers have become more frequent lately. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid we still wouldn't know the movements of the Spirit Pagoda."

Zang Xin knew that the Tang Sect had sent people to the Spirit Pagoda before, but he also knew that they would not be trusted unless they had connections to the families in the Spirit Pagoda. Otherwise, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy would not have such a bad relationship with the Spirit Pagoda.

Zang Xin sighed and said: "It's no use saying anything now. No matter how secretive Leng Yaozhu is, she can hide from us, but he can't hide from the Qiangu family. Have they made any moves?"

Zhuo Shi shook his head slightly and said: "That's the most puzzling thing. The Qiangu family seems to have seen nothing and completely ignored Leng Yaozhu's scheme. Not only the Qiangu family, but also the other families in the Spirit Pagoda have not made any moves."

Cai Yue'er said angrily: "Of course they haven't made any moves. I bet they are eager for the Leng family to leave the Spirit Pagoda. Then, their Qiangu family will be the only one left."

Cai Yue'er didn't say anything else, but everyone present was not stupid. The reason why the other families besides the Qiangu family had not made any moves was either because they were suppressed by the Qiangu and Leng families, or because they were waiting for the Leng family to leave so they could take their place.

Tang San's consciousness remained silent, but he looked at Yun Ming and said, "Yun Ming, what is your opinion on this matter?"

He had not been idle in the past few months. He had learned a bit about the forces in the current federation, and he knew about the relationship between Yun Ming and Leng Yaozhu. He asked Yun Ming to see his attitude.

Yun Ming knew that Tang San's consciousness wanted him to declare his stance, but even without Anping's contract, he could not agree to Shrek Academy following Tang Sect in this matter. But Tang San's divine consciousness was here in person, and he had no way to stop him.

He thought about it, but there was no other choice. Yun Ming sighed and said, "Dear Lord Poseidon, I have no objection to this matter."

Then Yun Ming stood up and looked at the people who were working. He took a deep breath and said, as if he had made up his mind: "From today on, I, Yun Ming, resign as the head of the Poseidon Pavilion. The position of the head of the pavilion will be taken over by Long Yeyue."

Yali beside him also said: "From today on, I, Yali, resign from the position of deputy head of the Poseidon Pavilion and dean of the Shrek Inner Court, and my position will be taken over by Zhuo Shi."

The sudden news shocked everyone present. Long Yeyue said sternly: "Yun Ming! Yali! What are you doing! Now that Shrek Academy is facing a formidable enemy, how can you do this to the academy that trained you?"

Yun Ming sighed slightly and said: "Sister Yue, for some reasons, we can't participate in the things you want to do, so please don't embarrass us. If Shrek Academy encounters any crisis in the future, I will take action, as long as it is not related to Anping and Gu Yuena."

Although Yun Ming's words were vague, no one present thought that Yun Ming and Yali had been bought off. Zang Xin frowned slightly and said: "Yun Ming, if you have any difficulties, you can tell us and we will help you. Why do you have to do this?"

Yun Ming and Yali were really in trouble now and couldn't explain. They looked at each other and shook their heads slightly without saying anything, then walked towards the Poseidon Pavilion.

"Stop!" Long Yeyue said sharply, "Yun Ming, are you afraid of Anping and Gu Yuena? They are just two kids who are not even titled Douluo. Are you so scared of them?"

Yun Ming knew that Long Yeyue was trying to provoke him, but he had to admit, he was afraid. But he was not afraid of death, he was afraid of ruining Shrek Academy with his own hands.

Seeing that Yun Ming kept silent, Yali turned around and said, "Sister Yue, you don't have to force us. It's not that we don't want to, but that we can't. From now on, Shrek Academy will depend on you. We are traveling to the mainland, you can contact us if you need anything."

After Yali said that, she ignored the others' attempts to keep them, pulled Yun Ming's hand and left the Poseidon Pavilion, and then flew directly out of Poseidon Island. As they said, unless Shrek Academy faced a crisis related to Anping and Gu Yuena, they would never come back.

Looking at the silent Poseidon Pavilion, Tang San sighed slightly and explained: "You don't have to think that they are betraying Shrek Academy by doing this. I can feel that they are bound by something, not by their own will. The reason for this is that they were probably schemed by Anping and Gu Yuena."

Hearing Tang San's explanation, Long Yeyue was still reluctant and said: "It's those two damn bastards again! Tell me, isn't this kind of restriction something that even Lord Poseidon can't break?"

Tang San's consciousness shook his head slightly and said: "You know that I am only a spiritual consciousness left by the main body, and the main body has more important things to do. I don't have a better way. But you don't have to worry, they are not in mortal danger, so I doubt they will attack the soul beasts."

After hearing Tang San's explanation, everyone present cursed Anping and Gu Yuena with indignation. Since Yun Ming and Yali's lives were not at stake, they vented their anger for a while and then started to discuss how to deal with the current situation.
