Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 131: Life depends entirely on acting skills
"Hmm? Why did Yali come to see Xiaoxi so late?"

In the opposite room, Leng Yaozhu stopped meditating, a trace of confusion flashed across her beautiful dark red eyes. As she heard the sound of the door closing, a hint of coldness appeared on her pretty face.

No matter what, it was definitely not a good thing for Yali to enter Xiaoxiu's room in the middle of the night.

"Buzz!" Then Leng Yaozhu slowly stood up from the soft big bed, slightly adjusted her red robe, and spread her slender thighs. Suddenly, ripples appeared in the space, and strands of silver light fell on Leng Yaozhu's delicate body, as if she was wearing a gorgeous silver dress.

The next moment, Leng Yaozhu's figure disappeared from the spot, as if blending into the space. She walked to the space at the door of Jiang Xiu's door without any breath leaking out.

And this is exactly the unique understanding of the power of space by the Extreme Douluo, because constructing and completing the dual soul cores is not only the threshold of the Extreme Douluo, but also the threshold for comprehending the power of space.

In the room, after Jiang Xiu closed the door, he took Yali to the sofa in the living room and sat opposite each other.

"Your Majesty the Holy Spirit, I wonder what important matter you are referring to?" Jiang Xiu poured two cups of hot tea, placed one in front of Yali, and asked with his eyes raised.

"Thank you." Yali smiled gently, then said apologetically, "What happened during the day was due to Zhuo Shi's recklessness. I apologize to you, Jiang Xiaoyou, on his behalf. The competition was fair, and we at Shrek Academy are willing to accept defeat."

Jiang Xiu looked at Yali in surprise. He didn't expect that although Yali had left the Federation, she was still able to distinguish right from wrong.

"Your Majesty the Holy Spirit, we don't need to discuss these things. Things have already happened. I have no intention of asking whether they are right or wrong. However, after this incident, my impression of your Shrek Academy has been greatly reduced." Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly, his eyes somewhat indifferent.

Now that the power is in his hands, and he has what Yali wants, the more indifferent he appears, the more beneficial it will be for the subsequent negotiations.

Jiang Xiu not only wants to make money, but also wants to make money while standing.

As expected, after Jiang Xiu finished speaking, Yali's pretty face changed slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in her green eyes.

If she opens her mouth now, it will be disadvantageous to her, and then it will be even more difficult to control the power of faith later.

"Friend Jiang, there's actually no need for us to be confrontational." Yali, after all, had a wealth of experience. She quickly composed herself and continued softly:

"From what I understand, you are from the Body Sect, right? Ten thousand years ago, there was a strong connection between our two factions. Huo Yuhao, the ancestor of our Shrek Academy, once asked the academy to keep the Body Secret Manual for the Body Sect, and later returned it intact to the next leader of the Body Sect."

"Given these connections, we shouldn't be hostile."

Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed with sarcasm when he heard this, and he said calmly, "The Secret of the Body of our Body Sect once helped Lingbing Douluo Dai... Huo Yuhao complete the Golden Level Second Awakening of his Spirit Eye Martial Soul. As a condition, Lingbing Douluo needed to personally pass the Secret of the Body to the next owner of the Body Martial Soul. This was just a transaction, and it seems that Lingbing Douluo didn't do it himself."

"And if we have such a deep connection, has Shrek Academy ever offered a helping hand when our Benti Sect has been so desolate for ten thousand years? And...

Is this true return of the secret of the true self?"

As Jiang Xiu finished speaking, the spacious room fell silent for a moment, leaving only two cups of tea on the table emitting a wisp of steam.

Yali frowned, not knowing how to answer. She thought bringing up the Benti Sect would bring them closer, but unexpectedly it made them even more distant.

"Yes, we should question this woman harshly." Leng Yaozhu, who was outside the door, saw Yali's embarrassment and felt relieved.

Although she has gradually let go of Yun Ming, she still feels a bit resentful towards Yali, who was once her competitor, and they often have friction.

Usually, Yali stayed in the Sea God Pavilion. She didn't ask much about the relationship between these major forces. She thought for a long time before speaking again:
"Friend Jiang, if you need support in the main body, I can go back and discuss it with Brother Ming. These are not a problem."

"That's not necessary. We in the Benti Sect have already found a solid ally, a very solid one."

Jiang Xiu simply waved his hand to refuse. As for the Shrek Academy that was about to "fly into the sky", he only wanted to get the things and the seed of life given to him by the spirit of the old plane, and he didn't want to get too entangled with other things.

What's more, more than 10,000 years ago, the Tang Sect had declined to the point where only one sect leader was left, and Shrek Academy had not provided any help.

"I knew Xiaoxiu wouldn't forget his roots." Outside the door, Leng Yaozhu felt even more comfortable when she heard this. Her red lips slightly raised, and a stunning smile bloomed on her pretty face.

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Looking at Yali with a conflicted face, Jiang Xiu knew that the time had come, so he asked. After all, if he went too far, it would backfire.

Upon hearing this, Yali temporarily suppressed her emotions and said with a serious expression, "Well... it's like this. There are too many rumors about Shrek Academy in the outside world right now. Some people even take the opportunity to discredit our academy. So, in order to silence these people, I hope you can come to our Shrek Academy's external courtyard for five years of exchange study."

This was not only her decision, but also the decision of Poseidon Pavilion before she came. The glory of Shrek Academy must not be tarnished. Since it was impossible to deal with these rumormongers, it would be better to solve the problem directly from the root.

This is equivalent to a battle between Shrek Academy members, and it can even enhance the reputation of Shrek Academy.

Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he knew that this was the critical moment to "make money while standing", and immediately refused: "I don't think this is necessary, I am already a member of the sect."

"An academy is an academy, and a sect is a sect. You can leave at any time after five years, without any conditions," Ya Li said quickly when she saw that Jiang Xiu was about to refuse. "That would indeed help your Shrek Academy out of the limelight, but it doesn't seem to benefit me at all, and I have no obligation to do so," Jiang Xiu said meaningfully, meeting Ya Li's beautiful eyes.

"Then what do you want to do, Young Friend Jiang?" Yali heard that things were taking a turn for the better, her emerald eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked softly.

"You have to pay more."

Jiang Xiu's eyes were firm and his words were concise.

"..."

Yali was silent for a moment, then smiled and said warmly, "That's not a problem. We can talk about this later. Right now, I have something more important to discuss with you, Jiang Xiaoyou."

Some money is nothing to Shrek Academy. The power of faith is the biggest purpose of her trip.

After saying that, Yali waved her hand, and a layer of emerald green light flashed, instantly covering the two of them and blocking them from any outside detection.

Although she didn't notice anyone outside now, the matter of the power of faith was too shocking and must not be known to outsiders.

Jiang Xiu's eyes remained calm, but his face showed confusion. "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"Friend Jiang, I wonder if you can control the power of faith?" Yali asked directly, with even some anxious anticipation in her beautiful eyes.

This matter is too important to her.

"Hmm?" Jiang Xiu exclaimed in surprise at first, then immediately looked at Yali cautiously, "What does this have to do with you, Your Majesty the Holy Spirit?"

It looked like his biggest secret had been discovered.

Yali looked at Jiang Xiu's expression and immediately realized that her guess was correct. She became a little excited and was about to say something.

But at this moment, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a cold female voice sounded.

"Yali, why did you go to Xiaoxiu's room in the middle of the night? Does Yunming know about this?"

Hearing the familiar voice coming from the outside world, Yali's expression paused, and what she was about to say was stuck in her throat, because the matter about the power of faith must not be known to others.

When Jiang Xiu heard this voice, a smile flashed imperceptibly in his purple eyes.

Things that are too easy to obtain will not be cherished. How could he let Yali get the method to control the power of faith so easily? What's more, he doesn't know how to control the power of faith at all now.

The look of astonishment before only made Yali believe that he could really control the power of faith.

After all, Yu Yuanheng does have the power of faith left by him in his body, so Yali would not doubt it from the root.

"Life depends entirely on acting skills." Jiang Xiu sighed silently in his heart.

"Friend Jiang, let's talk about this another day. Please don't leak it out." Seeing that the conversation was interrupted, Yali had no choice but to give a warning and then removed the soul power soundproofing shield.

When Yali saw that the person coming was Leng Yaozhu, her brows immediately frowned. She didn't understand why Leng Yaozhu would appear at this time, and at such a critical moment.

Leng Yaozhu's delicate body was wrapped in a red robe, and her dark red phoenix eyes were full of awe. Her cold aura was fully open, like a ball of cold flame. She moved her jade legs to sit next to Jiang Xiu, and her eyes collided fiercely with Yali's.

Jiang Xiu touched his nose and consciously moved to the side to make room.

"Of course I came here for something important to do, but why are you here?" Yali responded in a flat tone.

"Master Mu has something to do. Xiao Xiu is my beloved junior. If I see someone with ill intentions, I will naturally come out to protect him." Leng Yaozhu snorted coldly.

"Also, you mentioned earlier that you wanted Jiang Xiu to attend Shrek Academy for exchange and study. Although I won't interfere with Xiao Xiu's choice, the conditions cannot be postponed. What if you try to trick Xiao Xiu again? Let's make this deal now."

When Jiang Xiu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He really loves to get Shrek Academy gold coins and other things.

Then, Jiang Xiu took out another teacup, poured a cup of hot tea into it, and placed it in front of Leng Yaozhu, fearing that his aunt Leng would be thirsty while negotiating the terms later.
