Chapter 233 Leng Yaozhu: Please, Tower Master, make the decision!
Will Leng Yaozhu believe Yun Ming?
In fact, even Leng Yaozhu herself doesn't know this now.
Based on her understanding of Yun Ming, he should be trustworthy.
She knew the character and responsibility of the man who had once stood shoulder to shoulder with her.
But her instincts wouldn't allow her to place her hopes on others.
She has lived for so many years and has seen too much betrayal and too many changes.
Just as Leng Yaozhu was about to speak, a voice came from behind her.
"Teacher, you should go back first. I'll stay by His Majesty Qingtian's side for the next few days."
The one speaking was naturally Huo Yuhao.
He couldn't just stand by and watch Aunt Leng and Shrek Academy go to war, especially since it was a war they were destined to lose.
These elders, working together, were no match for Aunt Leng. Huo Yuhao couldn't let her be put in danger for his sake.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu calmed down.
The tacit understanding between her and Huo Yuhao, her master and disciple, allowed her to instantly understand his meaning.
Huo Yuhao meant "staying by Yun Ming's side these past few days".
He meant by "a few days" that he didn't want to stay at Shrek Academy forever; these few days were just a temporary measure, and he wanted Leng Yaozhu to figure out a solution during these days.
Moreover, he said "stay by Yun Ming's side" instead of "stay at Shrek Academy," which indicates that he will not be in danger in the next few days.
Leng Yaozhu remained silent for a moment. She was unsure whether Yun Ming could handle the matter properly, but protecting Huo Yuhao's safety for a few days should be no problem at all.
Having figured all this out, Leng Yaozhu turned to look at Huo Yuhao.
Her expression was resolute, but her tone softened: "Okay, then the teacher will come to pick you up again in a few days!"
After speaking, Leng Yaozhu looked at the Shrek Academy members again and said coldly, "If anything happens to Yuhao in the next few days, don't blame me for abandoning him!"
After leaving those words, Leng Yaozhu turned and left the Sea God Pavilion.
Faced with her final threat, the expressions within the Sea God Pavilion varied.
Long Yeyue snorted, unconcerned: "Quite the boast."
Yun Ming glanced at his teacher's wife indifferently, then said, "We'll discuss this matter again tomorrow. The previous anomalies have already attracted the attention of the students and Shrek City. Everyone should perform their duties, stabilize the academy, and quell public opinion."
"yes!"
The elders all agreed and then left the Sea God Pavilion one after another.
At this moment, only Yun Ming, Ya Li, and Huo Yuhao remained in the Sea God Pavilion.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on them, but it couldn't dispel the heavy atmosphere in the air.
Yun Ming sighed, his sigh filled with exhaustion and helplessness.
He knew there was a problem with the atmosphere at the academy, but only now did he realize how serious it was.
The reputation of being the top academy on the mainland has led these senior scholars astray.
Yunming knew that such a mindset was not formed in a day, nor could it be changed in a short period of time.
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
A hint of heartache flashed in Ya Li's eyes as she looked at Yun Ming, then she turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao, a trace of apology in her gentle eyes.
"Yuhao, this matter cannot be decided by Brother Ming alone. I'm sorry you've been wronged."
Huo Yuhao was not someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong; he had overheard everyone's conversation.
His face remained calm as he smiled and said, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Pavilion Master."
Yun Ming nodded: "Don't worry, no one will make things difficult for you these next few days."
The strange phenomena on Poseidon Island sparked much discussion among Shrek Academy students, with various speculations circulating among them.
Many students gathered by the shore of Poseidon Lake, craning their necks to gaze at Poseidon Island in the center of the lake.
Everyone saw a fiery red figure flying from the direction of Poseidon Island at an astonishing speed, like a burning flame streaking across the sky.
In the blink of an eye, she landed on the shore, her figure standing out prominently in the sunlight.
Many people did not recognize this figure, but judging from the aura emanating from him, they knew that he was a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level.
Some people recognized her identity and whispered to those around them, "Heavenly Phoenix Douluo."
Gu Yue looked around and saw that only her teacher, Leng Yaozhu, was standing in front of her, but Huo Yuhao was nowhere to be seen.
Moreover, Leng Yaozhu had a cold expression on her face at the moment, and her emotions were clearly not right.
Gu Yue had some guesses in her mind, and she asked, "Teacher, where's Yuhao?"
Leng Yaozhu glanced at Poseidon Island, a hint of coldness flashing in her phoenix eyes.
She said coldly, "You've been detained by Shrek. Come back to the Spirit Tower with me first."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's gaze sharpened.
She nodded and followed Leng Yaozhu as they left Shrek Academy.
……
The Spirit Pagoda, floor 123.
This is the core of power in the Spirit Pagoda, the exclusive floor of the Pagoda Master, Qian Gu Dong Feng.
"The tower master is currently entertaining guests, please wait a moment!"
"Deputy Tower Master, you cannot go in now!"
Two exclamations entered the room, causing a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa to frown and a flash of anger in his eyes.
He looked to be in his forties, with long silver hair tied back, a lean face, sharp features, and a commanding presence.
A pair of slender eyes sit atop a high, hooked nose, and sharp, sword-like eyebrows, giving him an air of quiet authority.
And this person is none other than the current master of the Spirit Pagoda—Qian Gu Dong Feng!
He was meeting with the master of a branch tower below, and had specifically instructed that no one was to disturb him.
But now, someone actually dares to barge in, which really shows they don't take him seriously.
A surge of anger welled up within him.
His expression was serious, his narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, and his gaze was turned toward the door.
The chill emanating from him was like a winter wind, causing the titled expert sitting opposite him to tremble involuntarily.
With a loud bang, the door to the reception room was pushed open from the outside.
When Qian Gu Dongfeng saw the fiery red figure walking in, the anger on his face vanished instantly, the change as swift as turning the pages of a book.
His brows relaxed, the anger in his eyes faded, and a complex emotion took its place.
He stood up and said gently, "Yaozhu, what brings you here?"
Leng Yaozhu glanced at the restless branch tower master, then turned her gaze to Qian Gu Dongfeng opposite her.
She didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Now that someone from my Spirit Pagoda is being bullied, will you, as the Pagoda Master, stand up for them?"
Didn't Long Yeyue say she couldn't make the decision? Then she'll find someone who truly can.
The tower master standing beside Qian Gu Dong Feng naturally recognized Leng Yao Zhu.
Who doesn't know the fame of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo?
The fact that such a matter now requires finding the Tower Master Qian Gu Dong Feng shows that the matter is not simple.
He wasn't oblivious to the situation, and seeing this, he quickly said, "Since the two tower masters are discussing important matters, I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he flashed away with astonishing speed, disappearing from the house in the blink of an eye.
Incidentally, he also closed the door to the reception room, his movements light and practiced, without making a sound.
He asked, "What exactly happened?"
He was also full of doubts. What was it that Leng Yaozhu couldn't handle and needed his help?
