Yan Shaozhe stood up, hands clasped behind his back, and walked toward the door.
As he passed Xu Jiangliu, his gaze swept over him coldly.
"But I will thoroughly investigate this matter. If it truly involves your Xuanming Sect… Hmph!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the room.
"Huff… huff…"
Xu Jiangliu gasped for air, his face deathly pale.
The pressure Yan Shaozhe had exerted was terrifying
A Super Douluo could crush him with a single finger. Although someone of Yan Shaozhe's status would rarely act personally, the feeling of a blade hanging over his head made it feel as though he had narrowly escaped death.
"Someone!"
Xu Jiangliu shouted hoarsely. "Call Chen Wen here!"
"Yes!"
Seeing Xu Jiangliu's pale face, the servant did not dare waste time and quickly left.
A few minutes later, Chen Wen entered the room, his face full of smiles.
"Master, everything is ready. We're just waiting for the Second Young Master's wedding night—"
"Shut up!"
Xu Jiangliu roared.
"From this moment on, Jiang Nannan has nothing to do with the Xu family. Clean up your mess properly and leave no traces. Now go!"
"Ah…"
Chen Wen looked utterly bewildered and hurriedly fled the room.
After Chen Wen left, Xu Jiangliu's eyes narrowed slightly.
A shadowy figure silently appeared beside him, crouching low like a ghost awaiting orders.
"Go. Follow him," Xu Jiangliu said softly. "See if he cleans up properly. If not, help him clean it up. Once everything is done, deal with him as well."
"Yes."
The shadow vanished without a sound, following Chen Wen's direction.
…
Xu Jiangliu's breathing gradually steadied.
He wasn't worried that Yan Shaozhe had stayed behind to secretly investigate Chen Wen.
These so-called "evidences" were meaningless now.....Yan Shaozhe already knew everything, and Xu Jiangliu had practically admitted it himself.
The real danger was Yang He.
If Yan Shaozhe uncovered his dealings with Yang He, then everything would truly collapse.
Calling Shrek Academy an "academy" was the biggest joke on the continent.
Fortunately, he had left no concrete evidence. The pawns who had contacted Yang He had long since been eliminated.
"Now they come out to reap the benefits…"
No matter how much Xu Jiangliu thought about it, he couldn't find any flaws. In a fit of anger, he smashed the tea set and began cursing.
The Xuanming Sect often gathered commoner children to help them awaken their martial souls.
Those with talent were absorbed into the outer sect and given cultivation resources.
Jiang Nannan had been discovered in this way.
When she awakened her martial soul at the age of six, her innate eighth-level soul power shocked everyone. She was truly a golden phoenix rising from the grass.
Jiang Nannan depended solely on her mother and was the same age as Xu Sanshi, who awakened his martial soul at the same time.
With a "handle" to control her—her mother—and with exceptional talent and appearance,
even the city lord's recommendation letter had been secretly arranged by him.
However, after joining Shrek Academy, this girl became increasingly independent and strong-willed. Simple coaxing was no longer enough to help his son awaken his martial soul a second time.
Thus, following Chen Wen's advice, he resorted to this desperate measure…
Beast Fighting Area.
On an artificial rockery, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear lay lazily with its legs crossed, basking in the sunlight.
Since its master had ordered it to stay here, it had no objections. Food and lodging were provided—this place was perfectly suited for slacking off.
"Roar~"
Suddenly, a low growl echoed.
Little Gold lifted an eyebrow and tilted its head, glancing toward the Flame Lion on the other side of the metal railing.
The lion was desperately trying to squeeze its head between the bars, claws scraping violently against the metal and producing an ear-piercing screech.
This rockery had originally belonged to the Flame Lion.
But ever since the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear arrived, its territory had been forcibly seized, and it had been driven into a cramped area nearby.
Captured from a young age and fed elixirs and herbs rich in spiritual energy, the Flame Lion had reached a cultivation of three thousand years in just a few decades.
Favored by Elder Gong, it had always run rampant in the Beast Fighting Area, never experiencing the dangers of the Star Dou Great Forest—nor the ferocity of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
That was why it dared to provoke Little Gold so recklessly.
Otherwise, any other thousand-year soul beast would have tucked its tail and cowered the instant it sensed Xiao Jin's aura.
"Hoo…"
Xiao Jin glanced at it, seemingly surprised by its courage.
Then it rolled over and continued basking in the sun.
"ROAR!!!"
(Lazy bear! Do you dare fight me to the death?!)
"ROAR!"
(Come over here! If not for this metal fence protecting you, I'd have roasted you alive!)
