After Xu Sheng and Dai Yun'er had left, Turbid World expressed his doubts, "Elder Long, sending Her Royal Highness the Princess of Xingluo Empire to the federation, wouldn't this infuriate the federation even more!"
Cai Yue'er took a deep breath, "That's true, the old foxes among the higher-ups of the federation, every one of them is crafty! Who knows what they might do to her!"
Only Ya Li's beautiful eyes lit up for a moment, "I think, Elder Long must believe that with Elder Xu there, there's no need to worry, right!"
Long Yeyue did not deny it, she said indifferently, "That's correct. After the duel that day with Elder Xu, I can be certain of one thing; even if all the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion were to join forces, we would not be a match for Elder Xu!"
"Sometimes, I really wonder if he might be a Soul Master from the Lower Realm!"
But this thought was immediately dismissed. If Xu Sheng were a God, according to the rules of the Divine Realm, he shouldn't stay in the Lower Realm for too long!
Furthermore, Sea God Tang San also did not stay in the Lower Realm after becoming a God, which further confirmed her thoughts!
Feng Wu Yu was slightly skeptical, "Is Elder Xu's strength really that exaggerated? All the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion combined are not his match!"
Tang Yinmeng also hesitated, "Elder Long, could what you said be an exaggeration!"
One person contending against all the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, even the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult couldn't do that!
Long Yeyue glanced at them, "If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself when the time comes! However, whether Elder Xu would agree to it, that's another matter!"
Then, changing the subject, she continued, "All right, there's no need to worry about Elder Xu. However, for what comes next, you all need to be mentally prepared..."
With these words, the expressions of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion became grave...
The faces of the Shrek Seven Monsters also turned serious as they said earnestly, "Elder Long, please speak!"
Seeing this, Long Yeyue said word by word, "In the past few years, seven Old Demons on Demon Island died mysteriously, leaving no traces behind!"
"Not only that, but the Life Force and Destruction Force that were contained on Demon Island also disappeared!!"
Tang Wulin exclaimed in shock, "How could that be? The strength of the seven Old Demons was at least at the Hyper Douluo level, who on the continent could have killed them?"
The next second, fearing that others might misunderstand, he waved his hand, "Of course, I'm not referring to Teacher Xu!"
Although they had no particular fondness for the seven Old Demons, they had still taught them many things, and they felt somewhat uneasy!
Xu Xiaoyan swallowed, "How powerful must the one be, who could kill even those seven Old Demons?"
Xie Xie propped his chin, "First of all, if we exclude Teacher Xu, then there's probably no one on the entire continent who could do it!"
Yuanen Yehui speculated, "So, Elder Long, are you suspecting that it was the Holy Spirit Cult that attacked Demon Island?"
Long Yeyue did not answer, but her expression said it all...
Xu Lizhi scratched his head, "But... what could the Holy Spirit Cult gain from attacking Demon Island with such a great cost?"
Yue Zhengyu took over the conversation, "We've been to Demon Island, too. There didn't seem to be anything of note there!"
Long Yeyue's tone became even heavier, "This brings us back to the previously mentioned Life Force and Destruction Force. These two powers are very mysterious, and it was thanks to them that the seven Old Demons managed to live until this era!"
"So, it's very likely that the Holy Spirit Cult's goal in attacking Demon Island was to obtain these two forces!"
The other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion also nodded their heads in agreement with her statement...
Tang Wulin suddenly understood, "I see, but why are you only telling us this now, Elder Long?"
Long Yeyue looked at everyone with a complex expression, "We received a message from our agent within the federation, saying that the terms 'Life Force' and 'Destruction Force' had come up within the federation!"
"Coincidentally, during that period, Elder Xu paid a visit to the federation and was suspected of stealing a certain secret..."
"So now, I'm telling you because all of this is too chaotic, whether it's the Spirit Pagoda, the federation, Tang Sect, or even the various empires, none can be completely trusted!"
"The only ones you can trust are the academy and your companions!"
She didn't want to see these children eventually become tools for any power and then be ruthlessly betrayed!
At this moment, the Shrek Seven finally came to their senses...
Tang Wulin said with conviction, "Elder Long, rest assured, as the Shrek Seven Monsters, we have our own beliefs and won't waver for anyone!"
Yue Zhengyu also raised his chin, "That's right, those who want to use us haven't been born yet!"
Yuanen Yehui slightly bowed his head, "We will keep your reminder in mind, Elder Long!"
...
On the way!
Xu Sheng glanced at Dai Yun'er, who was sneakily sizing her up and blushing from time to time...
"What's the matter, Yun'er, are you very afraid of me?"
The conversation initiated by Xu Sheng made Dai Yun'er muster her courage and reply, "No... it's not that, I'm just, just very worried about the Xingluo Empire and my brother!"
This was her first time being alone with him since she arrived at Shrek Academy!
As someone she once had feelings for, it was only natural that her state of mind couldn't remain calm!
Seeing this, Xu Sheng couldn't help but tease her, "Worried about the Xingluo Empire and your brother? Instead of worrying about these things, you should think about how the federation's top brass will treat you!"
Dai Yun'er was completely stunned...
Right, she was Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Xingluo Empire!
Now that the Xingluo Empire and the federation were on the eve of war, wasn't she like a lamb entering a tiger's den?
Therefore, she muttered softly, "Maybe, I just shouldn't go..."
Xu Sheng stretched his hand out and ruffled her hair, speaking in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, it was just a joke. With me here, they wouldn't dare lay a hand on you. Besides, you're now an inner court student of Shrek Academy. Any action against you would be provoking the entire Shrek Academy!"
"The federation isn't foolish enough to risk offending Shrek Academy just to make things difficult for you!"
Feeling the warmth from the top of her head, Dai Yun'er's heart couldn't help but fill with a sense of happiness...
"This... This is true, Xu Sheng, you're just as gentle as you used to be, can... can I call you that?"
Compared to the somewhat alienating title "Elder Xu," she preferred to call him by his name directly!
Xu Sheng let go of her naturally, not minding at all, "Of course, but... you're not that young anymore, there should be a distinction between men and women, so we should still maintain some distance!"
After hearing this, Dai Yun'er immediately turned her face away, muttering in her heart, "Maintain distance, huh? It was you who took the initiative to ruffle my hair!"
If it weren't for the fact that he was an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion and so powerful...
She would have used the power of the Xingluo Empire to force him to become her partner, no matter what...
But then again, this was also the reason she was enchanted by him!
