Chapter 97 Fan Yu: I Feel Like My Home Has Been Robbed_2

Hmm? Ningtian's eyebrows raised, her expression changing, "Are you sure that Wu Feng was not injured?"

As the words fell, she subconsciously glanced at the wall that had collapsed while saving Wu Feng. She remembered that Wu Feng's flesh and blood body had crashed into the wall, creating an exceptionally large hole.

Really no problem?

The healing soul master's expression was also oddly perplexed, "Actually, I don't know why something like this would happen. But this is the fact..."

In her opinion, it was normal for Wu Feng to have at least broken a few bones.

Ningtian subconsciously looked over at Qin Xiao again, her expression complex.

She realized that this youth, who seemed to be even younger than her, had attained a staggering level of control over his power.

Even among the strong of her Nine Treasures Glaze Sect, very few could control their strength to such an extent.

At the same time, in her heart, she tagged Qin Xiao as someone not to provoke.

"Who can explain what happened here?"

Just then, an icy voice suddenly rang out.

Mu Jin, wearing black high heels, entered the class, her gaze scrutinizing everyone with displeasure.

Facing Mu Jin's unwelcoming gaze, Ningtian stood up and took on the pressure, "Teacher, it was like this, Wu Feng and the new student had a friendly exchange, but the control was a bit lacking, and the scope of the battle damage was somewhat large. It also just so happened to provide an opportunity to refurbish the class."

"Then the cost of this..."

"I will bear it," Ningtian immediately replied.

A starving camel is still larger than a horse, and although the Nine Treasures Glaze Sect was no longer the world's number one auxiliary sect of Ning Rongrong's era, this small amount of money was still not a problem for Ningtian.

Mu Jin nodded, "Since you have this intention, I won't say much more. Just be more careful next time."

After speaking, she took a deep look at Qin Xiao, quickly withdrew her gaze, then lightly clapped her hands, "Alright, let's continue with the class..."

...

On the other side.

Yan Shaozhe also arrived at the Sea God's Pavilion.

With respectful tone, he said, "Teacher, there is a result for Zhou Yi's matter."

After a brief silence, Mu En's voice echoed in the Sea God's Pavilion, "What result?"

"The people outside Shrek Academy who have been waiting for her for so many years, as soon as they learned she was expelled from the academy, they acted against her immediately. After being seriously injured, she was taken away by someone. I think her fate might be worse than death..."

As he spoke, even Yan Shaozhe, who had experienced many things, showed an unbearable expression on his face.

"Do you think my heart is very cruel?"

The entire Gold Tree was now Mu En's embodiment, like a surveillance system with no blind spots, capturing every nuance of Yan Shaozhe's demeanor.

"I wouldn't dare," Yan Shaozhe's expression stiffened as he quickly replied.

He also realized that he had just shown his feelings.

However.

Mu En's answer surprised Yan Shaozhe, "In fact, it was indeed somewhat excessive. We should have at least allowed you to take action to save Zhou Yi, and let her leave Shrek safely to find a place unknown to others, to live out the rest of her life in peace..."

Yan Shaozhe's expression changed again. He hadn't expected that Mu En had really thought this way.

"Then why did you change your mind, Teacher?"

"One can only say that Zhou Yi's incident happened at an inopportune time. The exchange student program was proposed by me. You could even say that I asked the Sun-Moon Empire to help make this happen, for the sake of laying a solid foundation of soul tools for the future of Shrek Academy. It's of great importance, concerning the rise and fall of Shrek's future. In order to satisfy the Sun-Moon Empire, I had no choice but to cast Zhou Yi aside."

Yan Shaozhe's expression changed once more.

It was for the sake of Shrek Academy again.

"Moreover, do you think that even if I let you take action, you could protect Zhou Yi?"

"Can't we? They are only Soul Emperors or Soul Sages. Even if there are two moderately strong soul masters lurking in the dark, they still couldn't harm those that our Shrek Academy wants to protect, right?"

"Of course not. Have you forgotten the team leader from the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy? With him around, Zhou Yi would surely die, and if he were to act, it would not bode well for our Shrek Academy. Besides, we've already ordered Zhou Yi's expulsion; her popularity should naturally wane. Yet if we secretly protect her, it would make the Sun-Moon Empire think that Shrek Academy is duplicitous, playing one set of rules in Xingluo City and another in Shrek City. It would appear as though Shrek Academy isn't sincerely cooperating."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe was thoroughly convinced.

He said earnestly, "Teacher, I understand now. Please forgive my earlier impertinence. I shouldn't have made wild guesses about your thoughts."

"Shao Zhe, I know you're still young and may not be thorough in your considerations, prone to act rashly. But, whatever you do, I hope you will think thrice before acting. After all, the future of Shrek will be in your hands. Your every action will affect the rise and fall of Shrek Academy."

"Yes, Teacher, I understand," Yan Shaozhe nodded emphatically.

But, because he was so nervous, beads of sweat the size of beans were already forming on his forehead.

"By the way, have there been any updates about Xuan Zi? He has been gone for a while now, and his anger should have subsided. It's about time for him to return."

Even if Mu En had ten thousand complaints against Xuan Zi, he could only pinch his nose and bear with it.

Without Xuan Zi, Shrek Academy would face a gap in succession, and as the strongest force in Soul Land, such a discontinuity was absolutely unacceptable.

Yan Shaozhe's face showed worry upon hearing this. "Teacher, I have also been trying to contact Xuan Zi. I've exhausted all the communication methods of Shrek, but still, there has been no response."

"Are you saying that Xuan Zi has disappeared?"

"Yes," Yan Shaozhe nodded gravely, "but I have already sent people to search for Xuan Zi everywhere. With his personality, it's impossible not to have any traces of him."

"Between us master and disciple, there is nothing that cannot be discussed. For some reason, whenever Xuan Zi comes to mind, I feel a sense of restlessness in my heart, as if something bad is about to happen."

Mu En's voice was filled with concern.

Yan Shaozhe's face instantly showed shock.

If anyone else were to say such a thing, he would scoff at them. With Xuan Zi's status, what could possibly go wrong?

A level 98 Titled Douluo, with his Martial Soul being the top-tier War Spirit Gluttonous God Ox, could shake the entire Soul Land with a mere stomp of his foot.

But Mu En wasn't just anyone.

He was one of the most powerful beings on Soul Land, and although his cultivation level hadn't increased after merging with the Gold Tree, Yan Shaozhe felt like his realm had somehow ascended.

Such intuition from a powerful being was terrifyingly real.

When Mu En said it, it meant that Xuan Zi might truly have encountered trouble.

Yan Shaozhe said solemnly, "Teacher, I will immediately send more people to find Xuan Zi and ensure his safe return to you."

Mu En replied indifferently, "Go ahead."

However, just as Yan Shaozhe stepped out of the Sea God's Pavilion, Mu En's voice once again entered his mind.

"If necessary, we can also issue rewards, mobilizing the power of the entire Soul Land to search for Xuan Zi. We must hear from him soon, I fear delay may lead to further complications."

...

Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy.

Suddenly, a burst of flame erupted in the laboratory.

Two figures were blown away, crashing heavily against the alloy-crafted walls.

"Cough, cough."

Big Bald Head and Cai Tou stood up coughing, "Teacher, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Fan Yu also stood up, leaning against the wall.

Indeed, it wasn't anything serious.

But the explosion of the array core had left him and He Caitou dirty and disheveled.

"Teacher, this was just a level seven array. With your strength, it shouldn't have failed, right?" He Caitou asked, puzzled.

"I don't know what happened, but just now it felt like an invisible hand squeezed harshly on my heart, causing me pain, leading to my distraction and the array's failure," Fan Yu said, visibly unsettled, "Cai Tou, I have a feeling something has happened at home."
