You can't possibly move the goddess's heart, and I won't give you that chance...

"Brother, you seem very happy?"

A lively voice rang out from behind.

Like a ghost, Nana moved closer to Xu Cheng's cheek, her pretty face full of curiosity.

"Ahem, the plan is going very smoothly."

Xu Cheng didn't hide anything and said with a smile.

"Oh, so when are we going to the front lines?" Nana asked, completely ignoring Tang Ya.

What she cares about more is when to meet her parents.

Because in Xu Cheng's eyes, his grandmother, whom he hadn't seen for years and only communicated with through letters, was his only living elder...

"Once she arrives here, we'll need a strong remedy for her..."

Xu Cheng said.

Chapter 35 Shrek's Pride, Also a Burden

……

Top floor of the Sea God Pavilion.

An elderly man lay in a wheelchair, listening quietly as Yan Shaozhe reported on what had just happened.

"That's the way it is..."

After Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, he let out a long sigh of relief.

It was as if the pent-up emotions in my heart had vanished with this report.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, his hands remaining still as the wooden wheelchair carried him forward to the window, where he had a wide view through the wooden window.

A gentle breeze swept by, stirring up a wave of moisture from the lake.

This is the heart of the entire Shrek Academy, located on Poseidon Island, surrounded by an endless expanse of emerald green lakes.

After a long silence, Elder Mu finally spoke.

"You mean you drove away the last surviving member of the Tang Clan?"

"……I"

Yan Shaozhe opened his mouth, then nodded dejectedly.

"I acted impulsively, please punish me, teacher."

"..."

Moon didn't speak, but quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.

He had seen this scenery for hundreds of years, yet he never grew tired of it. Only by staying in the wooden house built by his ancestors could he find a sense of comfort.

"It's not your fault..."

After a long silence, Moon sighed.

“Shrek is too arrogant,” the old man said, his bright and gentle eyes looking at Yan Shaozhe. “Shrek’s millennia-long honor has now become a burden, a…”

Moon shook his head, not finishing his sentence.

Yan Shaozhe's expression was complicated.

He understood that the teacher was referring to more than just this matter; there were other metaphors involved.

For example... the development of soul guides in academies.

“But teacher, if Tang Ya joins the Holy Spirit Cult, she might become another Ye…” Yan Shaozhe said urgently.

“…” Moon waved his hand.

"Are you planning to go and fight them?"

"I..." Yan Shaozhe shut up awkwardly.

As a high-ranking member of Shrek Academy, he was well aware of the strength of the opposing team.

Even if the entire academy were mobilized, and all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were to participate, the best they could hope for would be a draw, like what happened to the Body Sect...

"In the end, this whole affair was caused by Shrek Academy's inaction, which led to the Tang Sect tragedy. And your actions today have completely swayed that girl to the Holy Spirit Cult," Mu En said calmly.

“Now that she’s come to Shrek Academy, she must be loyal to us. Those kids on duty at the gate must be hiding something from us…”

"I'll ask again when I get back!" Yan Shaozhe said, frowning.

“It’s no use.” Moon slowly closed his eyes.

"I think this is more of an open conspiracy, a conspiracy against Shrek Academy."

"You mean, Ye..."

"I don't know, but from the moment that little girl stepped into the gates of Shrek Academy, everything was exactly what the person behind her wanted," Moon said with emotion.

"I always thought the Holy Spirit Cult was full of brainless idiots, but I never expected this." Yan Shaozhe's expression was complicated.

Moon glanced at him.

Shrek's millennia-long glory has indeed corrupted people's hearts...

It's time to find an opportunity to teach these younger generations a lesson.

……

"Ugh, my head hurts so much..."

Tang Ya opened her eyes, and a sharp pain shot through her brain, causing the girl to instinctively clutch her head and curl up in pain.

After a long while, the pain slowly subsided.

The girl opened her eyes.

To his surprise, he found himself in a small house.

Through the window, you can see a lush green vegetable garden, planted with greenery, mostly crops, and next to it, a small garden with blooming flowers.

The atmosphere was warm and comfortable.

"I'm not dead?"

Tang Ya looked at her body in disbelief.

He remembered that a powerful figure from Shrek Academy was enraged by her, and then slapped her down with his large hand...

"woke up?"

A lazy voice came from outside the door.

Tang Ya looked over alertly.

At the entrance, a tall, beautiful young woman dressed in a black robe, with exposed, wheat-colored skin, was looking her up and down.

"You are...Nana?"

Tang Ya's light blue pupils suddenly contracted.

Having spent a semester at the Royal Academy of the Sun Moon Empire and participated in the final exams, he naturally knew this girl who was also ranked in the top ten and was incredibly skilled with dual swords.

She even sparred with this person during the assessment, but the result was that the other party was one move behind and she narrowly won.

"Why are you here?"

Tang Ya's mind was a complete mess, unable to process what she was seeing.

"Want to know? Then come with me." Nana, as languid as a wildcat, gently stretched her slender waist and beckoned to Tang Ya behind her.

"..."

Tang Ya's throat bobbed.

Watching Nana disappear from sight outside the door.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth and quickly walked out of the room.

Then, she froze.

Ahead, amidst sheer cliffs and shrouded in mist, stretched a continuous range of towering mountain peaks.

I felt as if I were in a valley.

And all around are vast farmlands.

Countless farmers are working hard to fertilize and water their crops. She can clearly see the smiles on their faces; although they are tired, they are full of hope for the future.

Keep walking forward.

It was a cluster of tiled houses, as you could see when you got closer.

Through the window, one could see a crude classroom filled with children around seven or eight years old. Many of them were dressed in coarse linen clothes, clearly children from ordinary farming families. On the platform stood a young teacher of about twenty years old, patiently explaining soul power and martial soul, the most basic knowledge in her eyes.

The sight of pairs of eyes yearning for knowledge made her feel dazed.

What surprised her even more was that almost all of these children had awakened their martial souls. Although most of them had soul power so weak that it was almost imperceptible, it was still shocking enough for her, who had once lived in Heaven Dou City.
