Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 329 Leaving Again
A few days later, on his way to the Shrek Clan's secluded retreat, Lin Po couldn't help but recall the scene that had occurred when he left the former Emperor's Palace.

He never imagined that one day he would be pushed forward again by the girls.

The reason behind it left him both amused and exasperated.

Lin Po had known Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo's reasons for leaving early on; they were simply 'weak and delicate' and unable to bear the burden.

Who would have thought that Gu Yuena, who is always so competitive, and Xue Di and Bing Di would share the same idea?

The silver dragon girl even openly said in front of her many sisters that her land was almost plowed up.

The three young women, Meng Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, who were still inexperienced in such matters, were terrified and had to temporarily suppress their impulses.

After all, they were sisters, and they knew Gu Yuena's background very well.

If even a mighty dragon god-king can't withstand a series of tasks, then these three weaklings, with their current strength, would probably be overwhelmed as soon as they went up.

Among the girls present, only one girl with a dragon martial spirit was eager to try, secretly considering whether to find an opportunity to replicate her sister's actions.

Unfortunately, Gu Yuena knew her troublesome little mythical beast sister all too well.

So much so that just by lifting her buttocks, Di Lingxi could guess what kind of trouble she was planning.

Thus, this 'genius' idea was completely stilled as soon as it came out, and was ruthlessly suppressed by Gu Yuena.

So here's the question: the girls' fear of the unknown is real, and their envy of Lin Po is also real.

Compared to the potential for unexpected situations during the process, it's more torturous to obey the eldest sister's orders and make them 'see but not get' what they want.

Adhering to the principle of 'out of sight, out of mind,' Meng Hongchen, Xiao Xiao, and Vina, who had only recently joined the group, teamed up for the first time.

While smiling broadly as she followed behind her sisters to see Lin Po off, she kept Di Lingxi firmly behind her, preventing her from showing her face.

We all play in the same courtyard, so we all know each other well!
We can only watch helplessly because our cultivation level is too low. So don't even think about abandoning us, secretly starting to eat, and eating all by yourself!
And so, amidst the cheering gazes of the young girls, Lin Po walked out of the Emperor's Mansion, looking utterly bewildered.

Even after leaving Mingdu, he still didn't realize what had happened.

"It's true how unpredictable things are."

A sigh encapsulates the bitterness of life.

Before long, Lin Po looked down at the bustling metropolis below and couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.

What are the remaining Shrek members thinking?

He understands your idea of ​​living a secluded life in the city, but at least find a city of similar size to retire in!
Why would someone just run off to live in seclusion in a city second only to the original three imperial cities? Do they really think everyone else is blind?
Even without the Moon Soul Guards monitoring you the whole time, other sects and noble forces, big and small, wouldn't miss the opportunity to report you for the easy credit you could get!
They might seem stupid, but they at least understand the principle of "the darkest place is under the lamp."

But looking at the places they chose, they had absolutely nothing to do with intelligence.

"Sigh, it's only because Sister Lexuan remembered our past relationship and repeatedly begged me to spare your lives using Sister Ruoruo's flowers that I did so. Otherwise, who would travel thousands of miles to Douling for a few nobodys!"

However, despite saying that, the look of lingering satisfaction on Lin Po's face was undeniable.

It was clearly on the last night before leaving that I had some indescribable special experience.

Then, Lin Po's figure suddenly disappeared into the sky.

The place where they reappeared was the courtyard of the residence that Song Yunzhi and Cai Meier had bought with most of their savings.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into my Slytherin... Your Majesty's territory?"

Although the two years of living in constant fear and uncertainty were difficult, the inner court disciples who survived also made significant progress.

Therefore, Lin Po's undisguised appearance naturally attracted their attention.

"Chu Qingtian, what are you shouting about?! What Emperor? How could that person possibly be an Emperor?!"

Following her boyfriend's gaze, Wu Ming froze in place, not daring to move an inch.

Looking at the two slightly familiar faces in front of him, Lin Po smiled slightly.

"Chu Qingtian, Wu Ming, it's been a long time. Looks like you've been doing well lately."

In a way, this bickering couple is quite lucky.

Needless to say, Chu Qingtian was one of the people responsible for burying Lin Po back then.

However, he was not present during the several times when Lin Po personally targeted Shrek Academy.

He's either out on missions or visiting family.

The same applies to Wu Ming. When they met on the outskirts of Longcheng, Lin Po spared her and the others because he was concerned for Zhang Lexuan's safety.

Unexpectedly, he has survived to this day as the disciple in Shrek Academy whose temper is second only to Ma Xiaotao.

Moreover, since joining the Spirit Soul Merchant Guild with Shrek two years ago, the two have not only worked together to frequently escape from Wu Sanshi's numerous attacks on the Elders.

Even in the final battle, he was seriously injured, and along with the other two students and Cai Meier, he was fortunate enough to avoid certain death once again.

"Your Majesty, Shrek Academy has already declined to this state, yet you are still not appeased and refuse to let us go?"

Suddenly, a slightly melancholic female voice came from afar, interrupting Lin Po's thoughts.

"Tsk tsk, don't make me sound so petty!"

"My grudges with Shrek Academy were settled long ago when Mu En, Yan Shaozhe, and Ma Xiaotao were all in my hands."

"The reason we continued to target Shrek Academy was simply because your ancestor Tang San wanted my life, plus those old bastards Xuanzi deliberately courted death."

Lin Po glanced at Cai Meier, who walked out from the back hall, her appearance and figure still the same but her whole being full of signs of aging, and his tone was slightly disdainful.

"So, the miserable state you people are in now can be considered an undeserved disaster."

"It seems I was right. You really are targeting Shrek Academy because of Tang San's ancestor."

"Truly, their rise and fall were both due to the gods."

Upon hearing this, Cai Meier muttered to herself for a while, then looked up at Lin Po again, preparing to await his final verdict on her and her fellow stray dogs.

"Your Majesty, I wonder how you intend to deal with us? If you wish to eliminate us completely, you need not come here in person."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Po waved his hand dismissively.

"Hmm, let's put that aside for now! What I'm more curious about is, since you can guess the reason behind it, why do you still watch those old fogies go their own way?"

"It's very simple, they don't have enough say."

The concise and clear answer made Lin Po suddenly realize the truth.

That seems to be the case!

In the original novel, Cai Meier's few appearances were like an accessory that Yan Shaozhe always carried with him.

Aside from the argument with Xianlin'er at the Sea God Pavilion meeting, there are almost no other types of plot developments.

In reality, the situation would probably be even worse.

With Song Yunzhi and Qian Duoduo backing her up, Mu En clearly favors Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe more among his disciples.

Furthermore, given that Yan Shaozhe always sides with outsiders, it would be strange if she, being isolated and helpless, had any power.

"Tsk tsk, as the old saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. You're just too honest, always compromising."

Cai Meier nodded in agreement with Lin Po's assessment, but the increasingly bitter expression on her face reflected that she also agreed with his words.

"Alright, don't overthink it. Tang San can't cause any trouble right now, and I have no need to continue targeting you."

"Let alone the fact that what happened back then has nothing to do with you, I will naturally not take my anger out on you."

"I am here today only because Sister Lexuan is thinking of our past relationship and asked me to personally escort you to Mingdu."

As Lin Po finished speaking the last word, the Shrek Sect's encampment fell into a long silence, with everyone bowing their heads and remaining speechless.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Po, who was growing impatient, was about to speak when a choked voice interrupted him once again.

"Your Majesty, do you mean we no longer need to hide?"

Chu Qingtian held back her tears, staring at Lin Po with expectant eyes, as if afraid she might have misheard something.

"Oh, yes."

"Wow!"

The next second, cries erupted, and the entire courtyard instantly descended into chaos.

The noise was so loud that someone who didn't know better would think someone had died in the house.
