Chapter 204: He Cai Tou, you really made me suffer! (Ch 204)

“Old Ji, come on! Fuck him!” Lin Xi put his hands together like a trumpet and shouted loudly.
But the voice was quickly suppressed by the orderly and loud voice on the side.
“Brother Ji will win!”
“Ji Jianxian is invincible!”
“This is so handsome! Are all exchange students from the Sun-Moon Empire so handsome?”
“Hehe, the girl has really good taste…” Xiao Hongchen looked quite arrogant as he smoothed his hair with his hands, making his hair look like a slicked back mess. He had a pretty handsome look, but compared to Ji Juechen, he was not as good as he could be.
“Who are you?” The girl from the Shrek outer courtyard who was cheering for Ji Juechen looked at Xiao Hongchen suspiciously. This was Shrek Academy, and everyone here was from aristocratic families, handsome men and beautiful women. People like Xiao Hongchen were all ordinary before they showed their strength…
At least it’s difficult to become popular by relying on appearance.
“I wuwu~” Xiao Hongchen was quite unconvinced. When he was about to reveal his identity, Ma Rulong covered his mouth and dragged him back to his seat.
“Don’t bring shame to the Sun-Moon Empire.”
Xiao Hongchen: “…”
The duel arena was filled with noise.
There are at least a thousand people.
After paying a gold soul coin, I sat down in my seat.
Xiao Hongchen crossed his arms in front of his chest, and said unhappily, “It’s fine if I cheer for Old Ji, but what the hell are they cheering for?”
“This is the power of appearance, young man.” Lin Xi said in a rather showy manner.
“I finally understand why Brother Cheng is so popular. He is so powerful and led the Sun-Moon Empire to cut off Shrek’s survival. His appearance is also top-notch. At least among the people I have seen, only Old Ji can compare with him. If he appeared here, hmm, hmm, I’m afraid a lot of people would faint…”
“Acheng, I am convinced.” Xiao Hongchen smacked his lips and sighed.
But if he entrusted his sister to that boy, he wouldn’t have to wait for three years for his exchange to end and for him to return to the Sun-Moon Empire and become his uncle, right?
The more Xiao Hongchen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He would definitely write a letter to Meng later to be on guard against this kid…
“Oh, it’s started!” Lin Xi pointed to the field.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
In the huge duel arena, only the voices of the two people were left.
Seeing the person opposite him, Ji Juechen was stunned at first, then his eyes burst into a strange light, and he drew his sword and stood behind him: “Ji Juechen, the fifty-third level fighting spirit king.”
The woman held an ice stick in her hand and had an extremely cold and beautiful face.
“Ling Luochen, level 61 Control Soul Emperor.”
She lost to the Sun-Moon Empire, to that lofty mountain that people admired, and she admitted her defeat with conviction. After all, even Ma Xiaotao in her prime could not surpass her and fell into his hands.
But this kid, what right does he have?
Are you coming here when Shrek is at its most empty, trying to trample on his dignity?
In that case, she must win this duel even at the cost of her life!
“please!”
There was a gleam in Ji Juechen’s eyes.
In the past, there were either Soul Kings or Soul Sect members, and no one was capable of fighting.
He didn’t have any bad intentions, he just wanted to taste the sweetness. As long as he acted ruthless, he could arouse Shrek’s warlike mind and find more powerful people to fight with, which would be a great pleasure.
“Third soul skill, ice cage!”
“Fourth soul skill, icy mist and coldness!”
“Fifth soul skill, Ice Shining Ring!”
“Sixth soul skill, Frost Mark!”
The staff in Ling Luochen’s hand fell to the ground, followed by a series of light shouts.
Five soul rings of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black rose up from the soles of his feet one after another.
What followed was a feeling of extreme coldness.
Countless people stared at this scene with wide eyes, horror, as if the entire duel arena was frozen.
There was a bright light in Ji Juechen’s eyes.
“You respect me, and I respect you too!”
“Sword!”
…
Sun and Moon Empire.
Inside the student dormitory.
Zhang Lexuan sat quietly on the bed, her legs slightly curled up, a letter in her hand, her face gloomy and absent-minded.
The content of the letter is clear, and the whole letter emphasizes four words: Mr. Mu is critically ill. The meaning is self-evident.
Mr. Mu saved her life, which was why she chose to stay and serve Shrek Academy.
So if Elder Mu was dying, she would definitely go to Shrek Academy to see him for the last time and then pay her respects, but…
She was not a fool. Mo Xuan had been acting strangely for the past two days, and his evasive eyes when Fan Yu personally handed him the letter, naturally made her notice something was wrong.
What a coincidence.
Earlier, when Mu Lao was fighting against the strong men of the Holy Spirit Church, he did lose some of his few remaining lives, but for an Extreme Douluo, he could still live for at least three or four years.
Unless the Body Sect arrives, or the Holy Spirit Sect comes to make trouble again.
But the letter did not mention anything about it, it just kept urging her to come back, as if visiting Mr. Mu was secondary and coming back was their goal.
I’m afraid that what happened between her and Xu Cheng has been exposed…
Zhang Lexuan’s hands, as soft as white jade, tightly grasped the bed sheet. She was wearing a light blue suspender, her long and beautiful legs were exposed in the air, and her toes were slightly bent, which was enough to show the beauty’s mood at the moment.
I thought I still had three years left, but it was all gone overnight. Is this relationship finally coming to an end?
“Then, put on your most beautiful clothes and give him one last unforgettable night…” Zhang Lexuan bit her red lips lightly and looked out the window. The weather was clear and cloudless. Many girls were playing in the corridor, but she was about to leave here and would never see him again in the rest of her life.
“Goodbye, Mingdu.”
…
Shrek Academy.
Inside Poseidon Pavilion.
It is hard to count how many times this meeting has been held in a year, and the ministers are too lazy to count, because many things have happened in this year that were rare in previous years.
But this time was a little different. The hunched figure who used to sit at the first seat of the long table was now empty, and the familiar wheelchair did not appear either.
“Shaozhe, where is Mr. Mu?” Old Song’s eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he asked first without waiting for Shaozhe to speak.
“Mr. Mu asked us to hold the meeting on our own. He is a little tired. He said that before the end, he wanted to see more of the children in the outer courtyard and bask in the sun, so he would not get involved in our affairs.” Yan Shaozhe said excitedly.
In his eyes, it was obvious that Mu Lao admitted his own decline and that a series of previous decisions had gone wrong, so he handed this mess to him. Of course, he would live up to everyone’s expectations and make persistent efforts…
“If Mr. Mu is not here, would it be inappropriate to hold a meeting of the Poseidon Pavilion?” Qian Duoduo hesitated.
In many people’s minds, Moon has become a mark, a symbol, but with the decline of his strength, he may be more like a mascot. Even though people’s awe of Mu is decreasing, habit is not something that can be changed easily.
“We have to take emergency measures. He has been tired for so long, so let him rest for a while and don’t bother him.” Old Lin said quietly.
“Shaozhe, tell me what you want to say.”
“Yes, Elder Lin.” Yan Shaozhe was very happy. He stood in the position where Elder Mu had been standing and faced the other elders. “My dear elders, I just have a general idea. It’s still a little immature. I would like to ask you for your advice.”
“Okay, Shaozhe, stop nagging and just speak up. You have the most ideas here.” Xuanzi picked up the wine gourd, took a sip, and said while smacking his lips.
When Moon was around, the meetings were so solemn, he would never dare to be so presumptuous.
“Thank you, Master Xuan, for your approval.” Yan Shaozhe showed a hint of joy on his face. “It’s like this. Not long ago, a group of people from the Sun Moon Empire contacted me, wanting to plot against the Sun Moon Empire for their Crown Prince!”
“Prince Sun and Moon, Xu Tianran?” Elder Lin raised his eyebrows and sneered, “A mere prince, he really takes himself seriously, wanting to get something for nothing. He has nothing himself, but he wants to rely on Shrek to seek the throne of the emperor. What right do you have?”
Hearing this, all the ministers shook their heads. Of course they could place a bet, but it shouldn’t be on Xu Tianran.
The Sun Moon Empire was unfathomable and difficult to shake. It could even resist the Three Kingdoms and Shrek alone. Therefore, defeating it from within or inciting civil strife was indeed a good idea. However, Xu Tianran…
Is it worth Yan Shaozhe to mention a useless prince who has nothing and relies entirely on Shrek for help?
“No, no, no, you all have misunderstood. The prince I’m talking about is not Xu Tianran, but… Xu He!” Yan Shaozhe said with a grin.
“Xu He?”
“That’s right, he is the only surviving offspring of the former crown prince, with the same status as Xu Cheng, and the twin martial spirits of cigar and sun, the direct bloodline of the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire, Xu He, and He Cai Tou!” Yan Shaozhe said.
“He actually has such an identity?!” Old Lin’s eyes narrowed suddenly.
“Actually, I didn’t know it at first. If it weren’t for the subordinates of the former prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, who are now remaining among the people of Sun-Moon, and the remnants of the original Three Kingdoms, who came to tell me these things in person, I would probably have mistakenly thought that He Caitou was just an ordinary person from the Sun-Moon Empire.” Yan Shaozhe smiled.
“In fact, it’s normal when you think about it. How could he know all that information, and even the secrets about the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, which even our Shrek Academy doesn’t know? He is Xu He, the only bloodline left by the former crown prince, so that explains it.”
After some words.
The ministers began to discuss the matter.
The anger on his face gradually dissipated.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yan Shaozhe hurriedly continued, “This group of people is not weak, and they have quietly integrated into the various legions of the Sun-Moon Empire. Even the four major beast soul guide groups and the royal soul guide group have their people, and their positions are not too low, mainly distributed among the middle and low-level generals. What they need most is another force to help them overthrow the tyranny of the Sun-Moon Empire together.”
“At the same time, they promised that as long as we succeed, most of the soul guide device blueprints and core formations of the Sun-Moon Empire will be open to Shrek, and they can even provide talents to help us successfully manufacture missiles, mechas, etc.”
“Are the origins of this group of people reliable?” Old Lin hesitated.
“According to my investigation, he should be reliable. The one who contacted me was a Soul Sage. He appeared in Shrek City very early and had many contacts with He Caitou. I think he should be his subordinate.” Yan Shaozhe said with a smile.
“And we don’t expect these remnants to really face the Sun-Moon Empire’s army. What’s more important is that they are mixed in with the Sun-Moon Empire and even they can’t be identified. At the critical moment of the war, we need someone to lead the way and explain the situation. The internal rebellion, even if it is not very strong, is enough to deal a fatal blow to the Sun-Moon Empire.”
“So that’s how it is…” Old Lin pondered for a moment and said no more.
Although she still had doubts about this, everyone now tended to think so, and Yan Shaozhe looked very confident, so she couldn’t bear to undermine his confidence. After all, once Mu Lao passed away in the future, he would definitely be one of the leaders of the Sea God Pavilion.
Many elders actually had opinions about Moon’s previous decisions, but they were reluctant to speak out due to their dignity. Now that the backlash is gradually manifesting, their opinions are naturally growing. Elder Xuan is only suitable to be a thug, not a decision-maker. So Yan Shaozhe, who had previously opposed Elder Mu and made the “correct” decision, was naturally praised by the elders.
The resolution of Poseidon Pavilion was passed unanimously, and even Xian Lin’er didn’t say anything.
…
“Teacher Fanyu, has the academy replied?”
In the office.
He Caitou asked while smoking a cigar and exhaling smoke.
“Haha, you do care about the academy,” Fan Yu was obviously in a good mood, “Yes, the academy sent a letter asking Le Xuan to go back. Once she gets to the academy, everything will be clear, and the academy will naturally not give Xu Cheng another chance.”
“In that case, we have to leave secretly. If Xu Cheng notices something is wrong, it will be difficult for us to leave.” He Caitou knew that Xu Cheng was a man of great insight, so he comforted him.
“If Senior Sister still wants to be gentle with me before she leaves, then…”
“Hiss, what you said makes sense!” Fan Yu’s expression gradually became serious.
Originally, he wanted to coax Zhang Lexuan back to the academy while Xu Cheng was away, but it would be embarrassing if he was discovered.
“I understand. I’ll go talk to Le Xuan and set off immediately.” Fan Yu hurried out the door.
“Oh, I always feel something weird…” He Caitou touched his bald head, but a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Does he hate Xu Cheng? Of course.
The so-called letting go is nothing more than a concession with a clear understanding, knowing that things and people have changed now and he will not be a match for Xu Cheng.
But as long as he finds the opportunity, he wouldn’t mind disgusting Xu Cheng.
(In the original novel, He Caitou and Huo Gua had a heart-to-heart talk, revealing for the first time his hatred for the Sun Moon Empire and his hidden goal of revenge. After Huo Gua bombed Mingdu, everyone else expressed remorse and sadness, but he was the only one who consoled himself that the casualties did not reach one-third. Others at least acted, but he didn’t even bother to act…)
“Hehe~”
He Caitou hummed a little tune, left Fanyu’s office and headed towards the laboratory building.
There are experiments in the afternoon.
But I went back to the dormitory halfway to pick up something.
“Hey, what is this?”
As soon as I entered the dormitory, I saw a letter on the table.
“Your Highness personally wrote this… Fuck you…” He Caitou subconsciously read out the words on the envelope, almost swearing, his eyes widened.
Someone wants to harm me!
This letter could only have been given to him by those remnants of the party.
It is true that he wanted revenge, but he was not stupid. He would not fight against a rock with an egg. He would not foolishly think that he could ascend the throne of emperor again by relying on those so-called remnants.
He hid himself very deeply, buried himself deep in the water and did not confide in anyone.
Therefore, even Fan Yu, his mentor who spent the most time with him, had the impression that he was an honest man.
Not to mention Beibei, Xu Sanshi and others, they all thought he was silly…
“Huff, huff…” He let out a few heavy breaths.
Look around.
After a long moment, he hesitated and opened the envelope.
Read them one by one.
Then the corner of his mouth twitched.
You want me to fight Xu Cheng? Do I have the ability?
Which villain wants to harm me?
