The guard who was stopped glanced at the strangely dressed man in front of him, his eyes under the armor were very strange. In Shrek City, Huo Yuhao and Chi Qiu's current attire is very different and eye-catching.

"Who are you?" The guard drew his sword and shield from his back and prepared to defend himself.

"Why should I reveal my identity to you?" Huo Yuhao pretended to take two steps back. "Anyway, if we fight here, we will call someone. Why don't you report it directly and avoid getting beaten?"

"You! Don't be arrogant in Shrek City!" Although the guard raised his voice, his eyes were wavering. He was just a third-ringed soul master, so he could naturally feel the faint fluctuations of pressure on Huo Yuhao and Chi Qiu, but he could not determine their specific cultivation levels.

"We are not too arrogant." Huo Yuhao said with an innocent face, "I am just here to analyze the pros and cons for you. I pointed out the best choice for you, and you have to thank me."

What else did the guard want to say? The captain who came over had already noticed something strange here. He walked straight over and asked, "What happened?"

"Back to the captain, these two outsiders from Shrek City said they knew some key information and asked to see the city lord."

Chi Qiu came over and asked in a low voice: "Shrek City... turns out there is a city lord?"

"I don't know." Huo Yuhao also whispered, "I remember when we were still there, wasn't it said that Shrek City had no city lord? I said I wanted to see the person in charge, but actually I wanted to see the Poseidon Pavilion... "

The guard captain looked doubtfully at the two people who were completely ignoring them and whispering to each other. After thinking for a moment, he flicked his cloak and said, "It's better to report to the city lord. You two, stay here, don't move around, wait for a reply!"

"Okay." Huo Yuhao agreed. He also wanted to meet the lord of Shrek City. These guards didn't know what level Beibei's intelligence was, but the city lord must have known it. Beibei was the last major kinship with Munn, so it was appropriate for the city lord to pay more attention to it.

"Let's take a look at the changes nearby." Chi Qiu looked out from the gaps in the armor of the tall guards surrounding them. She was still much shorter than these tall guards who were almost two meters armed. "I feel like Shrek City is different from what I remember."

"Hmm..." Huo Yuhao silently scanned the circle with his mental detection, "There are indeed many. There are many high-altitude detection soul guides. However, with Shrek's soul guide technology, it should not be possible to transmit images in real time. So the only thing the alarm does is.”

"I remember that after Teacher Wang Yan came, he said that everyone in Shrek was in danger. It was before the competition. Something like this happened during the competition, and Ma Xiaotao disappeared for a long time. I'm afraid the situation has worsened. .”

Huo Yuhao focused on the scanning area within Shrek Academy. Now if his mental detection range spreads out to the maximum area, it can cover the entire Shrek City.

Remembering that the last time he was in Shrek City, his mental detection was only a few meters away, Huo Yuhao still felt a little dazed. Although it can be said that things have changed and people have changed, at least I am developing in a good direction.

"Here we come." Huo Yuhao glanced in a direction next to Shrek Academy. Soon, the guards moved out of the way, and two guard captains escorted a man in his forties towards this side. This person had an upright face, sharp facial lines, and was wearing a plain white robe. His steps were steady and powerful. He made a very good first impression on Huo Yuhao.

Seeing the two people surrounded by guards, the middle-aged man was also surprised for a moment. It was obvious that Wang Dong's taste in this suit was indeed quite special. However, the man quickly returned to his normal expression and politely extended his hand to Huo Yuhao and Chi Qiu: "Hello. I am the city lord of Shrek City, Shixing."

"Hello, City Lord Shi." Huo Yuhao nodded, "You must also know our purpose of coming."

Shi Xing smiled, and the stubble at the corner of his mouth was pulled up: "Of course. This matter needs to be discussed in another place. You two come to the City Lord's Mansion with me first."

Chi Qiu's spiritual voice came from Huo Yuhao's mind: "Shrek actually still has a city lord's palace?"

"...This is also the first time I've heard of it. It's really amazing."

The two followed Shixing and soon arrived at the center of Shrek City. The gate of Shrek Academy stood nearby. Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked at the tall gate, feeling that it was not as tall as he remembered.

When he was a child, he felt that his mother's bed was also very high. His mother said that when he grows up and grows taller, he will feel that this bed is just a small world, and even the woodshed is just a small room.

At the age of twelve, Shrek's city gate towered into the clouds, sacred and untouchable in Huo Yuhao's eyes at that time. Now he raised his head, but it felt like that was all. In such a world, as long as you can keep moving forward, there is probably nothing you can never reach. These things can only be determined when you realize that you can't walk anymore.

He didn't look at Shrek's city gate anymore, turned around and entered the city lord's mansion with Shixing. Compared with the Shrek Academy next to it, this building looks much smaller and simpler. After passing through the small courtyard, Shixing welcomed them into the main hall. Unfinished documents could still be seen on the mahogany table in the main hall.

"It's hard work." Huo Yuhao said some polite words casually. His impression of fashion is pretty good.

Shixing first walked to the row of chairs by the window and gave them an invitation gesture: "Please sit down, you two. It must be very hard to come all the way. I'll let the butler make tea."

Chi Qiu was not polite, she stretched out her hands to close her robe, and sat down directly holding the soul guide spear. In the activities where the two collaborate, Chiqiu is always the one who sings the popular part. Huo Yuhao walked to Chi Qiu, but did not sit down directly. Instead, he waited for Shixing to sit down and asked, "You think we came from a very far away place."

"I think that since you all came here after such a long journey, you don't need to talk about useless things to distract each other." Shi Xing sat in his office. The butler came out of the inner room with hot tea and gave it to Huo Yuhao and Chi. Each person has a cup in front of Qiu. Shixing also accepted his cup: "Your news can only be brought from the Sun and Moon Empire."

"That's right." Huo Yuhao also sat down and looked at his reflection in the tea, but there was no entrance. "We did come from the Sun and Moon Empire and brought very important news. Forgive us for not informing the city lord in time before entering the city. Before we came here, we didn’t know that Shrek City had its own military and city lord. We have reported it to the Heavenly Soul Empire."

This is true, but it always sounds like it's teasing Shrek City. After all, Shrek City nominally belongs to the territory of the Tianhun Empire, it is just a city, and it should not have such a strong military strength. However, since they have Shrek's name on them, these rules cannot restrain them.

"These things are not important. They have been reported now." Shixing laughed, and the tea cup in his hand gently hit the edge of the table with a crisp sound, "Tell me about your intelligence. It has something to do with Mr. Beibei, no matter what No matter who you are or what your purpose is, as long as the information is useful, Shrek City can give you a generous reward." "Of course you deserve the reward." Huo Yuhao also put the teacup on the table without taking a sip. However, neither the content of the message nor the reward we want can be disclosed to you, the City Lord. Our request is to meet the elders of Shrek Poseidon Pavilion."

Shixing calmly frowned slightly: "From my observation, you are probably no more than the eighth ring. Aren't you afraid of meeting the Poseidon Pavilion as a visitor from the Sun and Moon Empire? Shrek and you, Sun and Moon, can be said to be on the same page now. Water and fire.”

"You are just the ninth ring." Chiqiu on the side said coldly, "Do you still need us to repeat our request? If you don't help, we will naturally have a way to see them, but the process may be a little unpleasant for you. I believe you don’t want to allocate another budget to repair the buildings here.”

"Are you threatening me?" Shi Xing looked at her.

"I'm negotiating terms." Chiqiu looked at him unmoved, "You'd better think about it again. This is Beibei's information. If you lose this information, guess what will happen to Shrek's group of people?" Who will Mr. Su be angry with?"

Huo Yuhao followed Chi Qiu's cold words in a gentle tone: "We don't want to conflict with you. You see, we have explained the pros and cons to you so clearly... and it seems that you don't have much power in Shrek City. Woolen cloth."

Huo Yuhao's last words in a harmless tone made Shi Xing's face change again and again. He stood up, paced back and forth twice, and was finally defeated by the eyes of Huo Yuhao and Chi Qiu, who looked like ice and fire.

"I'll inform them." He pulled out a piece of paper and started writing. "Whether they see you or not is another matter."

"They will definitely come." Huo Yuhao smiled, "You really don't really know Shrek."

"Do you know this very well? I graduated from Shrek University."

Huo Yuhao looked at the reflection in the tea: "Those who have been favored by them can only see one part. Those who have been suppressed by them can only see the other part. Both have their own limitations in their field of vision, but we are now What you need to use is the part you haven’t seen before.”

……

A quarter of an hour later, Huo Yuhao and Chi Qiu were allowed to enter the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

When they entered the campus, they could clearly feel that the atmosphere was completely different from before. Even in the outer courtyard where there are many people, the atmosphere among the students is not good. They were all in a hurry, and with just a glance, it seemed that you could see the pressure on their spines.

"Let me guess," Huo Yuhao glanced at these students indiscriminately, "the inner courtyard should be very short of manpower now. In the last session, a few Shrek's Seven Devils died and most of them retreated. This time, Beibei is missing. , the one who is currently staying in the inner courtyard is Xu Sanshi, the girl he likes - Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao is probably there, and the others don't know about it, this configuration is enough for them to have a headache. "

"So the pressure has come to the outer courtyard?" Chi Qiu shook his head incomprehension, "Spurring others' efforts will not lead to good results. I wonder if that Zhou Yi is still firing people at will."

At this time, a classmate happened to pass by them. Hearing the familiar name, the student raised his head and looked at them: "Old lady Zhou has had no grades in the past two years and is anxious. Now she doesn't teach classes. She seems to be helping her husband clean up the mess in the Soul Guidance Department."

"I see." Huo Yuhao nodded at him, "Thank you."

He recalled that at that time, he was probably only a little tall. At that time, I was not eating well and was malnourished. After setting up a stall to sell grilled fish, my situation improved a lot.

"He said that the soul guidance department is a mess." Huo Yuhao said softly, and then quickly used his mind to detect the teaching building of the soul guidance department on one side. He was slightly surprised by this sweep. Many laboratories have been abandoned. Only a few rooms on some floors still have lights on. There are only a few students there. The teachers sit on two stools and sit in the back of the laboratory chatting. The content of the conversation is about everything. In daily life, the conversation always ends with sighing.

"Strange thing." Huo Yuhao was a little puzzled. "When Sister Meng came back from the exchange, she also said that Mr. Mu had arranged to vigorously develop the soul guidance system before his death, and Shrek's soul guidance system was getting better before she came back. There were even students from the soul guidance department who came to ask her about soul guidance tools regardless of their grudges. They were very enthusiastic, and she could only teach them a little bit to get through. "

"After all, the competition hadn't started yet at that time." Chi Qiu patted him on the shoulder, "During the competition, wasn't it because they were found cheating with soul tools that they were disgraced and sent back early, and then a series of things happened?"

"Then you can't blame the soul guidance system..." Huo Yuhao looked a little disappointed. Although he didn't like Shrek, he really liked the soul guidance system.

"Who else can I blame, the current Poseidon Pavilion Master?" Chi Qiu also showed a look of regret, "But it is impossible not to blame others. Do you want them to admit that cheating is wrong, and then watch the thousand-year honor collapse in front of their eyes? One place? Impossible. You know who they are."

Huo Yuhao sighed heavily again. He thought of the prosperous soul guidance ecology in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy and Mingde Hall, and then looked at the desolation shown in the mental detection in front of him, and felt that they seemed to be two worlds.

After passing the teaching areas of the two departments in the outer courtyard, they arrived at Poseidon Lake. Poseidon Lake is as always, shrouded in thick white mist. From a distance, the water and sky are the same color, and the outline of the inner island is just a faint shadow printed on the background of the sky.

By the lake, Mr. Su was already waiting. Huo Yuhao could also sense some fluctuations in her soul power, so he must be one of the weaker ones among Mr. Su. When she saw Huo Yuhao and Chi Qiu approaching, she quickly came to greet them. Somehow, Huo Yuhao felt that she was even a little anxious.

As he got closer, Huo Yuhao discovered that she was actually very young, not much older than him. Such a young woman was actually a member of Shrek Poseidon Pavilion, which also surprised him.

Moreover, this woman's face is now full of anxiety. She walked up to Huo Yuhao, her voice a little anxious: "You are the people who know Beibei's information as mentioned in the letter from the city lord, right?"

"Exactly." Huo Yuhao nodded.

"I am Zhang Lexuan." She introduced herself very briefly, "Without further ado, we will go to Poseidon Pavilion to discuss in detail." (End of Chapter)
