The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 149 Yu Yuanzhen Arrives at Shrek Academy

"That's a good thing!"

Li Xun chuckled and glanced at Tiandou Street through the car window. He had just been worried that Qian Renxue's abilities were too strong for him to handle, but now he felt relieved.

"Haha, that's true." Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment and found himself on the same page as Li Xun, nodding with a smile: "But I asked your Grandpa Dugu to help her, I don't know if it was the right thing to do."

"Did they use strong medicine? How long will it take to take effect?" Li Xun asked Dugu Bo curiously.

"It will take at least three days, maybe five, and the medicine I used also helped to conceal it from that little girl, making it even harder for her to notice." Dugu Bo stroked his short beard, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"Then we should make some preparations."

Li Xun nodded upon hearing this: "Grandpa Dugu, please don't go back to the sect for a while. Keep an eye on Xue's group of nobles in Tiandou, especially Xue Beng and Xue Xing."

"If they try to escape, just kill Prince Xuexing. After all, that prince is quite clever."

"Hmm? Why leave a prince alive?" Dugu Bo was taken aback. "They say you have to nip the problem in the bud, aren't you afraid of letting a tiger return to the mountains?"

Unlike the rough and ready Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi understood Li Xun's intention after a moment's thought: "Xiao Xun, do you want to keep Xue Beng alive to further enhance the value of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in front of Qian Renxue?"

"It still has to be the teacher." Li Xun smiled and gave a thumbs up, then explained to Dugu Bo, "Grandpa Dugu, if Qian Renxue can really handle things perfectly, what do we need to do? Right now she is in a weak period, we should make good use of this stage and make her gradually develop a sense of dependence on us."

"It will also make it easier for us to have a say when we move into the Spirit Hall in the future."

At this point, Li Xun thought of a saying: "A good leader is one who doesn't interfere in affairs."

"Then we'd better make some proper arrangements. I heard that Bishop Salas seems to be quite down on his luck right now. Although he's not a very good person, he's still somewhat useful." Ning Fengzhi nodded with a smile.

Seven days later.

In a senior faculty dormitory at Blue Lightning Advanced Academy, Flander suddenly pushed open the door: "Xiao Gang, have you heard that martial law has been declared in Tiandou City recently?"

"I heard that Emperor Xueye is seriously ill, but the specifics are still unknown." Yu Xiaogang nodded solemnly.

They had only recently escaped from the Crown Prince's clutches, so how could they not be paying attention to the movements of the upper echelons of the Heavenly Dou Empire?

"Won't Xue Qinghe soon succeed to the throne?" Flander strode to the table, picked up a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head: "It's hard to say, but we should also prepare for the worst."

"Tian Heng has been back at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect for several days now. Judging by the time, he should be back by now. With the support of the sect, even the Crown Prince and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will find it difficult to attack us."

Yu Xiaogang's gaze was profound: "As long as we can hold out until the Soul Master Competition ends, we'll return to the Barak Kingdom."

Flander felt uneasy: "Xiao Gang, isn't this a bit too risky? For our safety, I suggest we withdraw from this year's Soul Master Competition!"

"Brother Fu, you should know how much effort I've put into this Soul Master Competition, and you should also know why I'm so persistent."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Flander expressionlessly: "Waiting another five years is certainly possible for Xiao San and the others at their age, but what if we can't find any more outstanding kids like Tian Heng and the others?"

"Besides, neither of us is young anymore. How many more five-year periods do we have left?"

Flander was not moved by Yu Xiaogang's words. Instead, he slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "But you're gambling! If you lose, it won't just be you and me, Erlong, but also Xiao San, Tianheng, Ma Hongjun, and all those other kids who will suffer along with you. Have you forgotten that they have a grudge against Li Xun?"

"Do you really want to drag this whole group of people into a fire pit just for your own so-called face and honor?"

"Flander, the succession of an emperor is not such a simple matter. Let alone the fact that Emperor Xueye is only bedridden now, even if he suddenly dies, the process of the crown prince observing mourning and succeeding to the throne will take time. With only a few days left in the Soul Master Competition, do you really have to come here at this time to pour cold water on everyone's hopes?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Flander with a cold gaze.

He discovered that Flander's personality had changed a lot since the three of them were released from prison. The most obvious feeling was that he seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally distancing himself from him and Liu Erlong.

Although the change was small and not easily noticed, how could Yu Xiaogang, who was always surrounded by people, not notice it?

"you!."

Flander's expression changed, and he pointed at Yu Xiaogang, speechless for a moment. It wasn't until after a long while, under Yu Xiaogang's gaze, that he lowered his hand: "I hope you won't regret this later!"

"Dean Flander, Uncle, what are you doing?"

Just as the two were at an impasse, Yu Tianheng's voice came from outside the house, and the two quickly composed themselves.

"It's Tianheng! How was your trip back to the sect?" Flander forced a smile at Yu Tianheng as he walked in.

"My grandfather has arrived and is outside."

Yu Tianheng smiled and nodded at Flander, then said to Yu Xiaogang, "Uncle, please be considerate of Grandpa when you speak; he is getting old after all."

"What! His Majesty Thunder has arrived!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Flander was startled and quickly straightened his clothes before hurrying out of the dormitory. He walked to a spot not far from Yu Yuanzhen, then bowed respectfully, saying, "I was unaware of Your Majesty's arrival; please forgive my lack of proper welcome."

"It's alright. I heard what you all said, and what you said is correct."

Yu Yuanzhen slowly turned around and nodded to Flander with a smile: "It's a blessing for Xiao Gang to have a friend like you."

"Your Majesty Thunder is too modest. It is my good fortune to befriend Xiao Gang, who is so knowledgeable." Flander chuckled and straightened his back.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two looked toward the dormitory door together.

Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a moment before slowly walking out and finally standing in front of Yu Yuanzhen: "Father."

"Hmph! You unfilial son, so you do know I am your father." Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly with a stern face when he saw Yu Xiaogang's submissive appearance.

"Your son knows he was wrong." Yu Xiaogang tried to kneel down several times, but seeing Yu Yuanzhen's expression, he held back and did not move. In the end, he simply bowed.

"If you were really wrong, you shouldn't have left the sect without a word back then, and you shouldn't have disappeared without a trace for so many years."

Yu Yuanzhen knew that Yu Xiaogang was concerned about his reputation, but as a father, seeing his son lacking ambition and responsibility still made him furious.

"." Yu Xiaogang couldn't refute it, and instead remained bowing without getting up.

"Alright, stop this nonsense and get up."

Yu Yuanzhen snorted lightly, flicked his sleeve, and walked past Yu Xiaogang into the dormitory.

Only after the footsteps faded into the distance did Yu Xiao sigh and slowly straighten up.

Seeing the predicament on Yu Xiaogang's face, Yu Tianheng gently advised, "Uncle, please go inside."
