Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 94 The Shrek Academy Robbery Exposed

"Don't worry, teacher. I'm confident I can take down Brother Lin. He won't escape my grasp."

Xue Qinghe smiled, revealing a confident and determined expression.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi finally felt relieved. He had already decided to place all his bets on Xue Qinghe. As long as Xue Qinghe ascended the throne, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would make a fortune.

"Your Highness, regarding Rongrong joining the Royal Fighting Team..."

"Teacher, the affairs of the Royal Fighting Team are not under my jurisdiction, and moreover, the management has fallen entirely into Brother Lin's hands, so this matter may be somewhat difficult."

After a pause, Xue Qinghe changed the subject and said seriously, "However, given my relationship with Brother Lin, there shouldn't be any problem."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo's moods were like a rollercoaster ride, almost turning completely cold.

"In that case, I entrust this matter to Your Highness. Once it is accomplished, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not forget Your Highness's kindness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi cupped his hands and took his leave. He had only come for this matter, and now that Xue Qinghe had given his guarantee, there shouldn't be any problems.

After all, Lin Mu was able to serve as the leader of the Royal Fighting Team not only because of his own strength, but also because of Xue Qinghe's recommendation.

Given their relationship, getting Ning Rongrong into the Royal Fighting Team wouldn't be difficult. Besides, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the number one support-type martial soul in the world, so Lin Mu had no reason to refuse.

"Why don't you stay a little longer, teacher? Qinghe still has many things to ask you."

“When we have time later, we can have a more in-depth discussion. For now, Your Highness should prioritize winning over Lin Mu, as he is the key to solving all problems.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi led Sword Douluo out of the hall.

Xue Qinghe accompanied him for a distance, and only after Ning Fengzhi repeatedly persuaded him did he reluctantly return to his palace.

"It seems that Lin Mu has no good feelings towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is why Ning Fengzhi asked me to win him over. This saves me a lot of trouble."

Xue Qinghe muttered to himself.

She was initially a little worried that Ning Fengzhi would poach her, since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School lacked everything else but money and women, which was why they could gather so many Soul Masters to risk their lives for them.

But now, looking at it, her worries were completely unnecessary. Given Lin Mu's personality, how could he possibly join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Immediately, she put her hands behind her back and said with piercing eyes, "Uncle She Long, I remember you told me that Ning Rongrong is at Shrek Academy, right?"

Before he finished speaking, the figure of the Serpent Spear Douluo had already quietly appeared.

He knelt on one knee behind Xue Qinghe and solemnly said, "Reporting to the young master, not long ago, Lanba Academy was renamed Shrek Academy. Ning Rongrong must be in this academy."

"Lanba Academy?"

A strange look flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes. The Blue Tyrant Academy was backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, yet it had changed its name to Shrek Academy.

What makes Shrek Academy so extraordinary that it has involved two of the three upper sects?

At this moment, Serpent Spear Douluo suddenly remembered something and continued, "Young Master, when I went to Soto City with Lin Mu before, I happened to witness something."

"what's up?"

"The dean of Shrek Academy, along with a teacher, robbed a viscount of the Kingdom of Barak."

"Oh? That's interesting. It seems necessary to investigate this matter; it might come in handy later."

Xue Qinghe's eyes flashed. Robbing nobles in the Tiandou Empire was a serious crime, and if the amount involved reached a certain threshold, it could even result in the death penalty.

Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo had already left the palace.

"Feng Zhi, can Xue Qinghe really handle this matter?" Sword Douluo suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi stopped and remained silent for a moment before saying with a hint of helplessness, "Although I've only met Lin Mu once, I can sense that he's rather stubborn. I hope to take this opportunity to clear up any misunderstandings." Hearing this reply, Sword Douluo remained silent. From their brief exchange, it was clear that Lin Mu was indeed extraordinary.

He would rather fight him head-on than accept three of his sword strikes. Even during the fight, he showed no martial ethics, was unforgiving when he gained the upper hand, and had no sense of humility whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Lin Mu was training in the Royal Fighting Team's dedicated training ground, using the Gravity Mud Swamp skill to train everyone at the same time.

Qian Renxue finally arrived almost half an hour after the training session began.

Lin Mu glanced at her and said in an unquestionable tone, "You dare to be half an hour late on the second day? You're in charge of cleaning the room today."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback.

She was only a little late, and now she's being made to clean the room again. Even if she's to be punished, can't they at least give her something different?

She cleaned Lin Mu's room every few days, which caused a lot of rumors to circulate at the Tiandou Royal Academy, with some even saying that she was Lin Mu's personal maid.

After a moment, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and changed the subject, saying, "I have something else to discuss with you. His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to pass on a message."

"His Highness the Crown Prince? Why doesn't he come to find me himself?"

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow, looking at Qian Renxue with interest. This woman is too lazy to even change her identity?

Qian Renxue had a plan for dealing with this, and said calmly, "His Highness the Crown Prince is too busy with official duties to find the time. He said he would come to you for drinks and to catch up when he has some free time."

"If that's the case, how come he has time to relay this to you? Do you live in the Crown Prince's palace?" Lin Mu pressed on.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was taken aback. Why was this guy suddenly asking about this? Could it be that he was worried that she had a relationship with other men?

After a moment's hesitation, she explained, "His Highness the Crown Prince treats me like a brother or sister, so he allowed me to stay in the palace, but I live in a side hall."

Although the explanation was somewhat far-fetched, Lin Mu did not press the matter further.

Changing the subject, he calmly asked, "Speak, what message did His Highness the Crown Prince ask you to relay?"

Seeing Lin Mu's attitude change so quickly, Qian Renxue felt a little suspicious. She had a vague feeling that this guy was toying with her.

Impossible. With her intelligence, there's no way she could be fooled by this guy.

She then briefly explained, "According to His Highness the Crown Prince, Sect Master Ning wants to send his daughter to the Royal Fighting Team and would like to ask you to make an exception."

"Ning Rongrong?"

Lin Mu looked strange. Ning Rongrong had refused to be a substitute back then, but now she needed Ning Fengzhi to pull strings. It was truly dramatic.

Previously, when Ning Rongrong wanted to join the Royal Fighting Team, he was indifferent.

But now, he doesn't want Ning Rongrong to become a member of the Royal Fighting Team. Even if she's just a substitute, it could cause some trouble for the team.

Even though the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is a top-tier support-type martial soul, Ning Rongrong could only cultivate it to around level 33 at most before the competition began.

For a team whose members are almost all Soul Masters, Ning Rongrong's soul power simply cannot sustain her for long.

After a moment's thought, Lin Mu said with certainty, "At present, the Royal Fighting Team's lineup is basically complete, and there is no need for another support-type Soul Master."

"This is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the strongest support-type martial soul in the entire continent. Are you sure you don't need it?" Qian Renxue asked again.

However, Lin Mu shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Ning Rongrong's soul power is too low, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda requires a lot of soul power to support it, so it is not enough to assist the Soul Sect team."

Upon hearing this explanation, Qian Renxue opened her mouth, but couldn't refute it.

It seems that Lin Mu has made up his mind not to get rid of Ning Rongrong.
