The reporter's question-and-answer session came to an end. Both the attendees and the viewers of the live broadcast had gained a deeper understanding of the City of Miracles. It seemed that the City of Miracles might become another Mingdu, or even surpass it.
They were the most modern cities in the entire federation, but compared to Mingdu, the City of Miracles was more like a futuristic fantasy. Many people couldn't help but wonder if the City of Miracles was really a miracle.
After the interview session, it was time for the program performance, which was prepared by the students from the Miracle City Art Academy. Their performance was impressive, but it was a pity that the guests who came for the celebration didn't pay much attention to it because of the previous events.
By the time the show was over, it was evening. The staff led the guests to a hotel that the City of Miracles had arranged for them in advance for dinner.
After dinner, the last event of the celebration was the dance. Halfway through the dance, Zhuo Shi finally spotted Yun Ming and Yali.
He saw them walking out of the dance floor and hurried to greet them. When they arrived, he said, "Can we go out and chat?"
Yun Ming and Yali didn't refuse Zhuo Shi's invitation and followed him out of the hall and all the way to the pavilion in the garden outside the hotel.
After they sat down, Yun Ming said, "Zhuo Shi, what do you want to talk to us about? If you want us to join Shrek Academy, you can leave now."
Zhuo Shi frowned slightly and said, "Why? Boss Yun Ming, haven't you always said that Shrek Academy is more important to you than life? Why do you do this when you know that the City of Miracles is destined to be our enemy? Why do you want to join them?"
Yun Ming shook his head slightly and said, "I have already said everything I could at the previous celebration. If you came to talk to me about this, I have nothing more to say."
He knew that Zhuo Shi had a good relationship with him in the past, but he also knew that Zhuo Shi was a believer of Poseidon. With Poseidon's consciousness already appearing, Zhuo Shi would never leave Shrek Academy, so Yun Ming didn't bother to persuade him.
As for his reason for joining the City of Miracles, Yun Ming had no intention of explaining it to him. Just as Zhuo Shi said, Shrek Academy regarded the City of Miracles as its enemy. Since he had joined them, he wouldn't betray them.
Zhuo Shi knew Yun Ming very well. He realized that Yun Ming had sincerely joined the City of Miracles. He hadn't joined them for the secret of the City of Miracles, as he had suspected before.
Originally, Long Yeyue was supposed to come to the City of Miracles on behalf of Shrek Academy. The reason why she was replaced by Zhuo Shi was because Zhuo Shi had a better relationship with Yun Ming and wanted to test whether Yun Ming had really joined the City of Miracles.
Although the answer he got made Zhuo Shi very sad, he also understood that this was not the time to argue with him. Besides confirming Yun Ming's attitude, he had another task.
So Zhuo Shi said, "I do have one more thing to do when I come to the City of Miracles this time. I wonder if I can ask Boss Yun Ming to contact Anping and Gu Yuena?"
Hearing that Zhuo Shi wanted to see Anping and Gu Yuena, Yun Ming asked doubtfully, "Why are you looking for them? The person in charge of the external affairs of the City of Miracles is Le Zhengen now. If something really happens, just go to him."
Zhuo Shi said, "The reason I'm looking for them has nothing to do with the City of Miracles, but with the Ice and Fire Eyes. You know that Shrek's generation has produced several geniuses. For their growth, we hope to work with Anping and Gu Yue to change back the Ice and Fire Eyes."
Yun Ming shook his head slightly and said, "If that's the case, I can tell you right now. Don't bother. You don't need to tell me what you believe about the Ice and Fire Eyes. They won't trade with you."
Yali nodded and said, "Brother Yun is right. You said yourself that Shrek Academy has made the City of Miracles its enemy. Why do you think they will give it back to you? I bet it was Tang San who came up with this idea. He really dares to do anything for his son."
Zhuo Shi frowned slightly when he heard Yali call Tang San by his first name, but he couldn't say anything. What Tang San's consciousness did was indeed too much.
But Zhuo Shi didn't give up easily. He continued, "It was indeed proposed by Lord Poseidon. You don't have to refuse so quickly. The conditions we have offered will surely satisfy you."
"If Anping and Gu Yuena are willing to return the Ice and Fire Eyes to us, we are willing to ask the master craftsman Zhenhua to help the City of Miracles forge four sets of four-word battle armor."
"You are really generous." Yali still lowered her head slightly and said, "But I'm afraid it still won't work. This is not a problem of what you want. Do you know the origin of the Ice and Fire Eyes?"
Zhuo Shi didn't know much about the origin of the Ice and Fire Eyes. He shook his head slightly and said, "I heard that the Ice and Fire Eyes are a natural treasure basin. Isn't that the truth?"
Yali shook her head slightly and said, "Of course not. If I hadn't come to the City of Miracles, I wouldn't have known that the Ice and Fire Eyes were related to the Dragon Clan."
"Related to the Dragon Clan?" Zhuo Shi didn't understand this, so he waited for Yali to explain.
Yali nodded and said, "Countless years ago, there was a war between the God Realm and the Dragon Clan. This war ended with the Dragon Clan's defeat. The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, two of the nine dragon kings of the Dragon Clan, fell to the Douluo Star. I don't know how many years of natural evolution have formed the current Ice and Fire Eyes."
Yali knew this because Gu Yuena had told her about it when she was in contact with her some time ago. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known the inside story.
After hearing this, Zhuo Shi knew that the Ice and Fire Eyes were impossible. He sighed and said, "Since the Ice and Fire Eyes are related to the Dragon Clan, forget it. But can you help me ask if I can get the Immortal Herbs from them?"
Yali happened to know something about this. She shook her head slightly and said, "You don't have to think about the Immortal Herbs. The Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Eyes were used by them to cultivate soul beasts. And even if there are still some Immortal Herbs, they won't exchange them for you."
Zhuo Shi was angry when he heard that Anping and Gu Yuena had fed the Immortal Herbs to the soul beasts. He said, "How could they do this? Don't they know how precious the Immortal Herbs are? You must know that one Immortal Herb can create a genius."
