Chapter 231 Why should Shrek need to explain its actions to others?
Long Yeyue glanced at the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li opposite her, then looked away and slowly said, "You haven't forgotten what happened three years ago, have you?"
The moment she opened her mouth, she instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The elders who had been whispering to each other all fell silent and turned their gazes toward Long Yeyue.
"Huo Yuhao's entry into Shrek Academy was the result of the academy's compromise."
Long Yeyue's voice was calm, yet it was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
She paused, a sharp glint in her eyes: "He won't enter the inner courtyard. He's not a member of the academy; he'll always be a member of the Spirit Pagoda."
Some of the elders had indeed forgotten about this matter before, but after Long Yeyue reminded them, their expressions changed instantly.
Looking at everyone's expressions, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Long Yeyue's cloudy old eyes.
She continued, "Although this kid knows nothing when asked, whether he received any benefits or has any connection with the Golden Tree, this has never happened before."
Upon hearing this, all the elders felt that what Long Yeyue said made sense.
Long Yeyue finally looked at Yun Ming and said seriously, "Yun Ming, I think we should keep this kid at the academy!"
Yun Ming frowned, but he didn't speak. Ya Li, who was to his right, then said, "Elder Long, the original agreement was that Huo Yuhao would study in the outer academy, and he wouldn't actually join Shrek Academy."
Long Yeyue glanced at Ya Li: "The past is the past, and the present is the present."
"Nobody expected that this kid would cause such a disturbance in the Golden Tree!"
Ya Li glanced at everyone, a hint of helplessness flashing in her gentle eyes. Many of the elders seemed to agree with Long Yeyue's suggestion.
She then added, "I also tried to recruit Huo Yuhao back then, and even promised him that if he joined the academy, he would be the next head of the Sea God Pavilion."
Everyone inside the Sea God Pavilion was startled upon hearing this.
Their gazes instantly focused on Yun Ming, who was at the head of the group. They had no idea about this before.
The position of Sea God Pavilion Master is the highest authority in Shrek Academy, a position that many people dream of but cannot attain.
How could such a promise be given to a young boy?
Yun Ming nodded and said, "This is what I agreed to back then."
He would naturally stand up for his wife.
Moreover, he did make such a promise back then, otherwise Yali wouldn't have made the decision on her own.
Ya Li continued, "But Huo Yuhao still refused despite these conditions."
Her gaze swept over the crowd as she asked, "Even the position of Sea God Pavilion Master can't sway him. What conditions do you elders think we should offer to persuade him to switch allegiance and join Shrek Academy?"
The group exchanged glances but remained silent.
What conditions can they offer?
A position higher than the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion?
Of course not!
More resources?
There is no shortage of spirit transmission towers.
They simply couldn't think of anything else that could move the boy.
At this moment, Long Yeyue sneered: "How arrogant! Although this kid is exceptionally talented, he may not necessarily become the tower master in the future of the Spirit Transmission Tower."
It's no secret that the Eternal Clan holds absolute power in the Spirit Pagoda; otherwise, they wouldn't have produced two Pagoda Masters in succession.
"Snapped!"
Long Yeyue slammed her hand on the table, her body leaning slightly forward, a sharp light flashing in her cloudy old eyes.
She looked at everyone and said, "Nobody knows what exactly happened between Huo Yuhao and the Golden Tree."
"His talent goes without saying. As long as he doesn't perish, becoming a quasi-god in the future is almost a certainty."
"Such a genius, you really want to let him go?"
She paused, then raised her voice slightly: "The Golden Tree is the academy's last line of defense. If he uses his connection with the Golden Tree to endanger Shrek Academy in the future, we'll all regret it!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the elders changed instantly.
Those aged faces were filled with unease and vigilance.
They never imagined that a mere teenager could threaten the very foundation of Shrek Academy.
But Long Yeyue's words were like a knife, piercing the softest part of their hearts.
Yun Ming's usually calm expression changed slightly at this moment.
His handsome face had a slight furrow in his brow.
He looked at Long Yeyue and said in a steady voice, "Elder Long, I know Yuhao well. Even if he is from the Spirit Pagoda, he wouldn't harm the academy."
Long Yeyue shook her head: "Yun Ming, you can know a person's face but not their heart, and people always change. No one knows what will happen in the future."
Subsequently, many senior members of the academy also spoke up, expressing their support for Long Yeyue.
"Sect Master, Elder Long is right, we can't gamble."
"Yes, Sect Leader, we cannot entrust the safety of the academy to Huo Yuhao."
"The safety of the academy is of paramount importance!"
……
Listening to the voices coming from the crowd, Yun Ming's expression turned solemn.
Although he was the head of the Sea God Pavilion, holding a high position and great power, he was also known as the "Number One Person on the Continent".
However, when it comes to handling matters within the college, they cannot make decisions on a single word.
Each of those elders had their own ideas and their own stance.
He needs to listen, weigh the options, and make the most appropriate decision.
Seeing the current situation, a hint of smugness flashed in Long Yeyue's cloudy old eyes.
She pressed her advantage, saying, "So what if we don't have anything to offer that can sway Huo Yuhao?"
She paused, a sharp glint in her eyes: "Huo Yuhao resonates with the Golden Tree. I think we should keep him at the academy in the name of protecting its safety."
"So what if the Spirit Pagoda disagrees? Why should Shrek Academy need to explain its actions to others?!"
Her tone was full of assertiveness and confidence.
Shrek Academy has stood for millennia and has never needed to explain itself to anyone.
Although the Spirit Pagoda is powerful, it still has to give way to Shrek Academy.
The Sea God Pavilion was carved with the theme of the Golden Tree, and its energy was sufficient to ensure that no conversation inside the Sea God Pavilion would leak out.
Normally, even if someone outside presses their face against the door, they wouldn't be able to hear anything coming from inside.
However, given Huo Yuhao's connection with the Golden Tree, this barrier was naturally ineffective in front of him.
That golden energy was nothing to him.
He stood there, and all the sounds inside the Sea God Pavilion entered his ears clearly.
He heard the arguments of those elders very clearly.
Therefore, Long Yeyue's concerns were not entirely unfounded.
As long as Huo Yuhao wanted to, the Golden Tree's defensive light shield wouldn't stop him at all.
Hearing the discussion inside about forcibly keeping him at Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao sneered inwardly.
What do they think they are?
Is it cargo?
Is it an item that can be disposed of at will?
Just then, his gaze drifted to the distance, where a fiery red figure gradually grew larger.
The figure flew down from the sky like a burning flame, strikingly conspicuous in the sunlight.
The speed was astonishing; it arrived in the blink of an eye.
Finally, a familiar figure appeared before him.
Huo Yuhao asked in surprise, "Aunt Leng, what brings you here?"
