Chapter 78 of the First Person
"Yes! But it's all thanks to Chen Xinjie, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to swindle so many resources," Zhang Huanyun said with emotion.
It was during his conversations with Yu Guanzhi and Dong Zian during this period that he keenly perceived the meaning behind their words.
Since he had already broken ties with Chen Xinjie, Zhang Huanyun was not at ease letting the other party sit comfortably in the top position in the military.
That's why he made such an outrageous demand today, asking for 500 billion, causing the Federation to suffer a huge loss because of Chen Xinjie's impulsiveness.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Chen Xinjie's going to have a hard time this time!" Xu Xuandou looked at Zhang Huanyun with schadenfreude.
Zhang Huanyun also laughed heartily and nodded. He hadn't expected Chen Xinjie to be so effective; he had practically disappeared without a trace.
Chapter 148 Never to Love Chen Xinjie
Has Chen Xinjie disappeared? Xu Xuanming listened to the conversation between Xu Xuandou and Zhang Huanyun, his gaze fixed intently ahead.
He remembered that Yu Shu had just told him that Yun Ming had also disappeared. Shrek Academy was currently leaderless, and if he hadn't intervened, Cai Yue'er from Shrek Academy would have come to Mingdu to demand an explanation.
.....................
Shrek Academy Sea God Pavilion
Of the three Limit Douluo, Yun Ming and Long Yeyue are nowhere to be found, and He Yushu helped but didn't fully help, and managed but didn't fully manage. Except when Cai Yue'er was about to go crazy, he spent the rest of the time leisurely watching the show.
Yali looked helplessly at the noisy elders below! Sister Yue suddenly caused a ruckus at the Blood God Legion for no reason, leaving Shrek Academy with no grounds for argument.
Not only that, she even rekindled her old flame with Chen Xinjie. Yali felt even more overwhelmed thinking about her husband's angry expression before he left.
She looked at the elders who were still arguing about how to handle the incident and shook her head helplessly. The impact of this incident was simply too great; the widow of the previous Sea God Pavilion Master and the Sea God Legion Commander had rekindled their old flame.
This is not just a slap in the face for Shrek Academy; it's blatantly trampling on their dignity.
Long Yeyue usually acts arrogantly, and some elders who were already dissatisfied with her took this opportunity to accuse her of her behavior over the years.
He Yushu looked at the bustling Sea God Pavilion with a sense of wonder. He had no idea that Long Yeyuehai was so hated!
Just as everyone was engaged in a heated discussion, a familiar voice rang out: "Gentlemen! What are you discussing? Why didn't you include me, the sect leader, in your discussion?"
Ya Li and Cai Yue'er looked in the direction of the sound with tears in their eyes. Yun Ming, covered in wounds, dragged in an old woman with disheveled hair.
"Ming... Brother Ming! What happened to you? How did you get so badly injured?" Ya Li hurriedly summoned her martial spirit to come to Yun Ming's side and heal him.
Yun Ming smiled at his wife to reassure her, and then handed the disheveled old woman in his hand to Cai Yue'er, who had also come to his side.
Cai Yue'er looked at the injured Yun Ming with concern, completely unaware that the disheveled old woman in her hand looked somewhat familiar.
"Yali, don't just focus on treating me, there's also Master's wife! She was seriously injured this time too!" Yunming patted the back of his wife's hand that was holding him, reminding her of the person she had been forgetting.
Master...Master's wife? Sister Yue! It took the elder of the Sea God Pavilion a long time to react after hearing Yun Ming's words.
Sister Yue! It's Sister Yue! Cai Yue'er, who had been holding Long Yeyue, finally came to her senses. She carefully looked at the other's face, which was covered in dust, wounds, and bloodstains. Only then did she finally recognize Long Yeyue.
Upon hearing that Long Yeyue was also seriously injured, Ya Li immediately went to treat the Light and Dark Douluo.
Because Long Yeyue kept emphasizing that everyone, including Yun Ming, should call her Sister Yue instead of the Pavilion Master's wife or Master's wife, the elders didn't realize at all who Yun Ming's Master's wife was.
He Yushu poured Yun Ming a cup of tea and used his soul power to push it in front of him.
"Thank you, Yu Shu!" Yun Ming said, accepting the tea.
"No need to thank me! But tell me why you ran into that old woman. Didn't she go off to be with Chen Xinjie?" He Yushu waved his hand, but he was more concerned about why Long Yeyue, that troublemaker, was so badly injured.
"Together forever? Hmph! She dares!" Yun Ming took a sip of tea and looked disdainfully at Long Yeyue, who was still unconscious.
Upon hearing Yun Ming's words, the other elders frowned. Each of them had received care and guidance from the Heavenly Favored Douluo, and hearing that Long Yeyue was going to betray their mentor, all the elders inwardly expressed their contempt for Long Yeyue.
Elder Bei treated Long Yeyue with utmost sincerity. He provided resources and helped her forge her four-word battle armor. Even on his deathbed, he helped her break through to the Limit Douluo level.
She wasn't satisfied with that, and actually wanted to run away with Chen Xinjie.
He Yushu shook his head calmly: "My dad said back then that this woman was a menace, but Uncle Bei was obsessed with marrying her. Alas! Fate is cruel!"
Upon hearing He Yushu's words, Yun Ming looked at Long Yeyue with a similarly complicated expression. His master had met the wrong person, and according to his usual temperament, he would have directly stabbed Long Yeyue to death and placed her body next to his teacher's grave as a warning to his spirit in heaven.
But he had sworn to his teacher to protect his teacher's wife! Furthermore, Shrek Academy had also invested a considerable amount in training Long Yeyue. And the strength of a Limit Douluo could also deter some villains.
After careful consideration, Yun Ming decided to keep Long Yeyue as his master's wife.
Suddenly, Ya Li looked at Yun Ming with a serious expression and said heavily, "Brother Ming! Something's wrong with Sister Yue's injuries! Part of her injuries are filled with a special kind of death energy."
"Death aura? Could it be an evil soul master!" Zhuo Shi looked at Ya Li in shock. Although Long Ye Yue's character and behavior were usually questionable, she possessed genuine Limit Douluo combat power.
The evil spirit master who could injure her like that must be a Limit Douluo-level evil spirit master.
Their attention shifted to Yun Ming. He was the one who brought Long Yeyue here, so he must have met this evil soul master.
"By the time I arrived, the other party had already disappeared. Only my master's wife, who was unconscious, remained at the scene. So I brought her back."
"Arrived in time? Then where did you get all these injuries?" He Yushu raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
The other elders also looked at Yun Ming with curiosity, wondering who had such power to turn their number one man in the world into this state.
"Chen Xinjie!" Yun Ming didn't hide it and said it quite openly.
Upon hearing this name, all the elders except He Yushu, Ya Li, and Cai Yue'er glared angrily at Long Yeyue, who was still unconscious.
"Pah! This adulterous couple is quite capable."
"Hmph! Once Long Yeyue wakes up, I'll make her go to Elder Bei and kowtow to apologize."
"Kowtowing isn't enough! She should die and go to the underworld to atone for Old Master Bei's sins."
....................................
As Long Yeyue's closest friend, Cai Yue'er wanted to say a few words in her defense, but in order not to upset her Ming-ge, she kept quiet.
After a while, Yun Ming clapped his hands, and all the elders stopped cursing Long Yeyue.
Yun Ming stood up and walked to Long Yeyue. Sensing her faint breath, a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Good master's wife! Stop pretending! Get up!"
Long Yeyue, who was lying on the ground, opened her eyes. She looked around at the elders who wished they could kill her. The once lawless woman finally knew fear.
First, she was beaten up by Cao Dezhi and Xu Xuandou's gang, and then she was ambushed by Harosa. Having barely escaped with her life, Long Yeyue dared not show the same attitude she used to have towards Yun Ming.
She stood up and looked at Yun Ming: "Speak! What do you want to do, child!"
“What are you doing! Go to my teacher’s grave now and swear before his spirit and all of us that you will never love Chen Xinjie again and will dedicate your life to Shrek Academy.”
"What!" Long Yeyue looked at Yun Ming with a grim expression. Wasn't this going to kill her?
Chapter 149 Guan Yue's Anger and Backstabbing
"We were just confused this time! Yun Ming, are you really going to be so cruel! You want me to swear an oath at Old Bei's grave." Long Yeyue looked at Yun Ming in disbelief, unable to believe that these words could come from Yun Ming's mouth.
"Tsk tsk tsk! A moment of confusion? Who knows what might have happened if Yun Ming had arrived any later! Don't fool yourself, Sister Yue." One of the elders mocked Long Yeyue, and the other elders all agreed with him.
Long Yeyue looked pleadingly at the only two women present. Ya Li looked troubled, while Cai Yue'er simply turned her head away. Seeing this, He Yushu, standing beside Yun Ming, regretfully put down the jade seal in his hand.
Why doesn't she ever say anything sarcastic again?
"He really wanted to hit me," Cai Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness she hadn't pleaded for him, otherwise He Yushu would definitely have used this opportunity to retaliate.
Sister Yue, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't help it! Cai Yue'er gave Long Yeyue a helpless look and then turned to look into the distance.
Ya Li shook her head at Long Yeyue. Although the couple were deeply in love, once Yun Ming made up his mind, Ya Li couldn't persuade him otherwise. Especially when it came to his mentor, the Heavenly Douluo.
"Let's begin! Your teacher has been spoiling you until he died, so all you have to do is make a vow. Sister Yue, don't let us down." Yun Ming smiled as he gave Long Yeyue his final instructions.
He wanted to spend the rest of his life with Chen Xinjie, but how could he let those two scoundrels have their way? He Yushu remained silent, staring intently at the tombstone of the Heavenly Favored Douluo.
Under Yun Ming's pressure, Long Yeyue finally chose to lower her head. She staggered to the tomb of Tianyan Douluo. Looking at the tomb before her, she seemed to see the phantom of Tianyan Douluo.
She looked up at the sky, wishing so much that Tianjuan Douluo was still alive. If he were still alive, Yun Ming wouldn't dare to bully her like this.
Whew! Long Yeyue let out a long breath. Looking at the tombstone engraved with the life story of Tianjuan Douluo, she swore: "I, Long Yeyue, swear by my martial soul that I will never be entangled with Chen Xinjie again in this life. I will dedicate my life to Shrek Academy. I hope that in my next life I can be reunited with my beloved Tianjuan."
Just as Long Yeyue finished swearing her oath, Elder Jin's figure slowly appeared. He nodded to everyone and solemnly said, "The contract is binding! If Long Yeyue violates the contract, her martial soul will be shattered. I bear witness in the name of the spirit of nature."
After hearing Elder Jin's words, all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion excitedly bowed to him. Yun Ming began to bow, but halfway through, he remembered that Long Yeyue had included his mentor in her oath.
The thought that his mentor might end up with that crazy woman, Long Yeyue, in his next life filled Yun Ming with rage. Why was that crazy woman making such a vicious vow?
Another person reacted similarly. That was Long Yeyue, the person directly involved. Watching Elder Jin's figure slowly disappear, she wished she could go back in time and slap herself a few times. If she had known Elder Jin would appear, she would have been better off just asking him for help!
Now, she can never be with Chen Xinjie in this lifetime. Ignoring the still-stunned Long Yeyue, Yun Ming turned and led the others to the meeting. He had no time to worry about Long Yeyue's mental health. His primary task now was to clean up the mess Long Yeyue had made.
Just as Yun Ming and his group returned to the Sea God Pavilion, the Federation sent over the contents of the meeting along with a list of Shrek Academy's responsibilities.
Seeing the eleven zeros on the list, the elders were all taken aback. Their anger, which had just subsided, reignited!
Bang! "What a joke! Five hundred billion? Why don't those bunch of good-for-nothings in the Federation just die! If the Blood God Legion really asked, would they really agree?" Cai Yue'er slammed her hand on the table angrily, complaining about the inaction of the Federation councilors.
The other elders were equally shocked by the figure. Five hundred billion Federal Credits! That's no small sum! The theft of Shrek's treasury recently had already cost them a fortune.
Even if the Federation only requires them to pay half, Shrek Academy doesn't want to pay such a large sum of money and be taken advantage of. This was clearly the fault of Long Yeyue and Chen Xinjie, that despicable couple; Shrek Academy truly knew nothing about it this time. How come Shrek Academy has to clean up their mess in the end?
He Yushu clicked his tongue as he looked at the bill that had been delivered. Xu Xuandou had told him that the Blood God Legion was going to squeeze a hefty sum out of the Federation this time.
But he didn't say it was that harsh! Very few powers can come up with 500 billion Federal Credits in one go, after all, every power has a large number of people to support. If he takes 500 billion, how will the others survive?
Looking at the long string of zeros, Yun Ming felt he hadn't stabbed Chen Xinjie enough. He should have stabbed him a few more times.
Those two scoundrels had no choice but to mess with the Blood God Legion. The Blood God Legion is of great significance and holds a special position. If they back out, all other forces on the continent will suffer.
For generations, families have guarded this frigid land; how many could imagine such an endless existence? Even the Blood Gods of various powers, sent to suppress the passage, were carefully selected to undertake the mission of guarding it year-round.
In addition, Zhang Huanyun seized this opportunity to make such an outrageous demand, based on the various internal struggles within the Federal military that Guan Yue had revealed to him.
Otherwise, the entry of the Blood God Legion, which is comparable to the Sea God Legion, would only make the already dire situation even more chaotic.
This 500 billion is both the Federation's compensation to the Blood God Legion and an agreement they reached with Zhang Huanyun.
"Brother Ming! 250 billion is really too much. See if you can contact Guan Yue and ask Chen Xinjie to contribute some as well," Ya Li suggested to her husband.
The other elders nodded in agreement; they were truly innocent victims this time. No one could have imagined that Long Yeyue would actually try to plunder the Blood God Legion. Who knows what she was thinking!
Yun Ming nodded: "I'll call Guan Yue and ask him about it. Yue'er... never mind, Lao Li, you go and tell the Federation that this was all Long Yeyue's doing. It has nothing to do with Shrek Academy."
"We will provide separate compensation to the Blood God Legion. They can ask the Sea God Legion and the Temple of War for the 250 billion, or directly ask Chen Xinjie for it. Shrek Academy will not pay this money."
Elder Li nodded and got up to contact the Federation. After the meeting ended, everyone left. Only Yun Ming and Ya Li remained in the Sea God Pavilion.
Yun Ming took out his soul-guided communicator and called Guan Yue.
