"Hmm? Why is Yali looking for Xiaoxiu so late?"
In the opposite room, Leng Yaozhu stopped meditating, a hint of confusion flashing in her dark red eyes. Hearing the door close, a coldness appeared on her pretty face.
Regardless, it was definitely not a good thing for Yali to enter Xiaoxiu's room in the middle of the night.
"Buzz!" Then Leng Yaozhu slowly got up from the soft bed, straightened her red robe slightly, and took a step with her long legs. Ripples spread across the space, and strands of silver light fell on Leng Yaozhu's delicate body, as if she were wearing a gorgeous silver dress.
The next instant, Leng Yaozhu's figure disappeared from the spot, as if she had merged into the space. She took a step and arrived at the space at Jiang Xiu's door without revealing any aura.
This is precisely the unique understanding of spatial power by the Limit Douluo, because completing the construction of dual soul cores is not only the threshold for Limit Douluo, but also the threshold for comprehending spatial power.
Inside the room, after Jiang Xiu closed the door, he led Ya Li to the sofa in the living room and they sat facing each other.
"Your Holiness, what important matter do you mean by this?" Jiang Xiu poured two cups of hot tea, placed one in front of Ya Li, and asked, looking up at her.
"Thank you." Ya Li smiled gently, then said with some apology, "What happened during the day was Zhuo Shi's recklessness. I apologize to you, young friend Jiang, on his behalf. The competition was fair, and Shrek Academy is willing to accept defeat."
Jiang Xiu glanced at Ya Li in surprise. He hadn't expected that even though Ya Li had left the Federation, she was still able to make sense of right and wrong.
"Your Holiness, we don't need to discuss these matters. What's done is done, and I have no intention of getting to the bottom of right and wrong. However, after this incident, my impression of Shrek Academy has been greatly diminished." Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly, his eyes somewhat indifferent.
He now has control, and he possesses what Yali desires. Therefore, the more indifferent he appears, the better it will be for the upcoming negotiations.
He, Jiang Xiu, not only wants to make money, but he wants to make money while maintaining his integrity.
As expected, after Jiang Xiu finished speaking, Ya Li's pretty face changed slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in her blue eyes.
If she speaks now, it will be disadvantageous for her, making the matter of controlling the power of faith even more difficult later on.
"Young friend Jiang, there's really no need for us to be at odds," Ya Li, with her rich experience, quickly composed herself and continued softly:
"As far as I know, you are from the Body Sect, right? Ten thousand years ago, there was a considerable connection between our two major forces. Our Shrek Academy's ancestor, Huo Yuhao, once entrusted the academy to keep the Body Manual for the Body Sect, and later returned it intact to the next Body Sect Master."
"Given these shared history, we shouldn't be enemies."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm, and he said in a flat tone, "Our Body Sect's Body Secret once helped Spirit Ice Douluo Dai... Huo Yuhao complete the second awakening of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul at the Gold level. In return, Spirit Ice Douluo needed to personally hand over the Body Secret to the next Body Martial Soul owner. This was just a transaction, and it seems that Spirit Ice Douluo didn't do it personally."
"And if we have such a deep connection, has Shrek Academy ever offered a helping hand to our Body Sect, which has been so desolate for ten thousand years? And also…"
Was this secret of the original body truly returned completely?
As Jiang Xiu finished speaking, the spacious room fell silent for a moment, with only the two cups of tea on the table emitting wisps of steam.
Ya Li frowned, unsure how to answer. She had thought that mentioning the Body Sect would bring them closer, but instead, they had become even more distant.
"Yes, we should question this woman thoroughly." Leng Yaozhu, standing outside the door, felt a surge of satisfaction upon seeing Ya Li's predicament.
Although she had gradually let go of Yun Ming, she still harbored some resentment towards Ya Li, who had once been her rival, and the two often clashed.
Ya Li usually stayed in the Sea God Pavilion and didn't pay much attention to the relationships between these powerful forces. After considering her words for a long time, she spoke again:
"Young friend Jiang, if the main body needs support, I can discuss it with Brother Ming when I get back. These are not problems."
"That won't be necessary. Our Body Sect has already found a strong ally, a very strong one."
Jiang Xiu waved his hand and refused. As for Shrek Academy, which was about to "take off," he only wanted to get what the spirit of the old plane had given him and the Seed of Life. He didn't want to get too entangled in anything else.
Moreover, more than 10,000 years ago, the Tang Sect had declined to the point where only one sect leader remained, and Shrek Academy did not offer any assistance.
"I knew Xiao Xiu wouldn't forget her roots." Hearing this from outside the door, Leng Yaozhu felt even more pleased. Her red lips slightly curved upwards, and a stunning smile bloomed on her pretty face.
"Your Holiness the Holy Spirit, please speak plainly about what is on your mind."
Seeing Ya Li's conflicted expression, Jiang Xiu knew the time was right and asked, since going too far could backfire.
Upon hearing this, Ya Li temporarily suppressed her emotions and said with a serious expression, "Well... it's like this, there are too many rumors about Shrek Academy right now, and some people are even taking the opportunity to smear our academy. So in order to shut these people up, I hope you can come to our Shrek Academy's outer academy for five years of exchange studies."
This was not only her decision, but also the decision of the Sea God Pavilion before she came. The honor of Shrek Academy cannot be tarnished. Since these people who spread rumors cannot be dealt with, it is better to solve the problem at its root.
This would be equivalent to Shrek Academy members fighting against each other, and could even further enhance Shrek Academy's reputation.
Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, knowing that this was the crucial moment to "earn money while standing tall," and he immediately refused, saying, "I don't think there's any need for that. I already belong to a sect."
"An academy is an academy, and a sect is a sect. You can leave at any time after five years without any conditions," Ya Li said quickly when she saw that Jiang Xiu was about to refuse.
"This might pull Shrek Academy out of the spotlight, but it doesn't seem to do me any good, and I have no obligation to do it," Jiang Xiu said meaningfully, meeting Ya Li's beautiful eyes.
"Then what do you want to do, young friend Jiang?" Ya Li sensed a glimmer of hope and her emerald eyes lit up as she asked softly.
"You'll have to pay more."
Jiang Xiu's eyes were firm, and his words were concise and to the point.
"..."
Ya Li paused for a moment, then smiled warmly and said, "That's not a problem. We can talk about that later. Right now, I have something more important to discuss with you, young friend Jiang."
Some money was insignificant to Shrek Academy; the power of faith was her primary objective for this trip.
After speaking, Ya Li waved her hand, and a layer of emerald light flashed, instantly enveloping the two of them and isolating them from all external detection.
Although she hasn't discovered anyone outside yet, the matter of the power of faith is too shocking to be known by outsiders.
Jiang Xiu's eyes remained calm, but his face showed confusion. "Your Holiness, what are you doing?"
"Young friend Jiang, I wonder if you are able to control the power of faith?" Ya Li asked directly, her beautiful eyes even showing a hint of eager anticipation.
This matter was extremely important to her.
"Huh?" Jiang Xiu exclaimed in surprise at first, then immediately looked at Ya Li cautiously, "What does this have to do with Your Majesty the Holy Spirit?"
He looked as if his biggest secret had been discovered.
Looking at Jiang Xiu's expression, Ya Li immediately realized that her guess was correct, and her heart was filled with excitement. She was about to say something.
But just then, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a cold female voice rang out.
"Yali, what were you doing in Xiaoxiu's room in the middle of the night? Does Yunming know about this?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice from outside, Yali paused, and the words she was about to say caught in her throat, because she knew that the matter of the power of faith must never be known to others.
Upon hearing this voice, a barely perceptible smile flashed across Jiang Xiu's purple eyes.
What is too easily obtained is not cherished. How could he let Yali obtain the method to control the power of faith so easily, especially since he doesn't know how to control the power of faith at all?
Yali's earlier surprised expression only made her believe that he could really control the power of faith.
After all, Yu Yuanheng did indeed possess the wisp of faith power he left behind, so Ya Li would never doubt it from the bottom of her heart.
"Life is all about acting skills," Jiang Xiu thought to himself.
"Young friend Jiang, let's discuss this another day. Please don't leak it out." Seeing that the conversation was interrupted, Ya Li had no choice but to give this instruction before removing the soul power soundproof barrier.
When Ya Li saw that the person who came was Leng Yaozhu, her eyebrows immediately furrowed. She didn't understand why Leng Yaozhu would appear at this time, especially at such a critical moment.
Her delicate body, draped in a red robe, was filled with a chilling aura in Leng Yaozhu's dark red phoenix eyes. She exuded a cold and aloof presence, like a ball of icy flame. She strode over to sit down next to Jiang Xiu, her gaze clashing fiercely with Ya Li's.
Jiang Xiu touched his nose and consciously moved aside to make room.
"I'm here because I have important business to attend to. But why are you here?" Yali replied calmly.
"Sect Master Mu is busy, and Xiao Xiu is my beloved junior. If I see someone with ill intentions, it's only natural that I have to come out and protect them," Leng Yaozhu sneered.
"And regarding what you said earlier about letting Jiang Xiu enter Shrek Academy for exchange studies, although I won't interfere with Xiao Xiu's choice, the conditions can't be postponed. What if you guys try to trick Xiao Xiu again? Let's make it happen now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's eyes lit up.
He absolutely loved getting Shrek Academy gold coins and all that.
Then, Jiang Xiu took out a teacup, poured a cup of hot tea, and placed it in front of Leng Yaozhu, afraid that his aunt Leng would be thirsty when she negotiated the terms later.
