People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Cai Yue'er was really at her wit's end.

She is called the Dean of the External College and has great power in the External College, but that does not mean she has the final say in the External College.

If they did not agree to Zheng Yiran's request, and the other party really died on his knees in front of the statue of the original Shrek Seven Devils, how would Shrek Academy explain to the Green Phosphorus Snake Family?

But... she didn't understand. It was just an internal fight among students. Why did Zheng Yiran insist on meeting Yali? Was there any hidden story behind it?

Cai Yueer took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress her restless heart. Well, it would be better for her not to get involved in such matters. If something irreversible happened to the Green Phosphorus Snake Family, the Sea God Pavilion might hand her over to calm the Green Phosphorus Snake Family's anger...

About a quarter of an hour later, Yali walked into the door of the Dean's office in her unchanging emerald green dress. She looked at the staff of the External Court headed by Cai Yue'er and said expressionlessly, "You go down first. I will handle this matter."

"Yes, Mr. Deputy Pavilion Master."

After everyone else left the office, Yali slumped in her office chair, looked at the two girls in front of her, and said with a smile: "Two little guys, tell me, what trouble did you encounter?"

Zheng Yiran said solemnly: "Your Majesty, we are the real victims."

“Oh? You are the real victims? But the little fellow named Huo Yuhao was seriously injured, right?”

Although it was a question, but coming from Yali's mouth... there was no hint of questioning.

Zheng Yiran said, “Your Majesty the Holy Spirit, may I ask… if it was Sister Xiaoya and I who initiated the incident, with Huo Yuhao’s cultivation as a Four-ring Soul Sect member, would it be possible that we would not have received any injuries at all?”

As soon as these words came out, Yali frowned subconsciously. All soul masters are belligerent, especially the talented soul masters of the younger generation who have the desire to win engraved in their bones. Of course, there are exceptions to everything. There are also "cowardly" soul masters who don't fight back when beaten, don't talk back when scolded, and always try to be reasonable. But based on Huo Yuhao's experience in Donghai City, he is not a cowardly soul master at all.

Yali made a gesture, indicating Zheng Yiran to continue speaking.

Zheng Yiran no longer hesitated and quickly recounted the three people's experience in the black market in full.

As the eldest daughter of a large soul master family, Zheng Yiran has brought the art of speaking to the extreme. She first explains the contradiction and then tells the course of events, arousing the interest of the law enforcers. In this way... the other party will not fail to analyze the clues seriously because the incident is insignificant.

After listening to Zheng Yiran's narration, Yali did not make a direct judgment based on her subjective assumptions. Instead, she took out the soul guide communicator and ordered her direct subordinates to go to the stall on the black market to verify the authenticity of Zheng Yiran's words.

"That stall owner...is dead."

As a cold female voice sounded, Zheng Yiran and Ning Peiya felt a chill in their hearts. This was the situation they least wanted to see happen.

Zheng Yiran couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, may I ask...how did the stall owner die?"

"Based on the evidence left at the scene, he must have been frightened to death."

Yali sighed and said, "Based on my years of experience in law enforcement, the possibility of you committing a crime is very small. It is unlikely that two little girls can scare a Soul King-level soul master to death. But there are exceptions to everything. It is meaningless for me to believe it alone. I need you to come up with direct or indirect evidence to prove your innocence."

“In this case, if Huo Yuhao wakes up and insists that you were the first to attack, you won’t be able to explain even if you have eight hundred mouths.” “In that case… then search my soul, Zheng Yiran’s soul. At worst, one life in exchange for another!”

Zheng Yiran gritted her teeth. It was impossible to search the soul, but the momentum could not be weak.

At this moment, Cai Yue'er suddenly opened the door of the office and walked in. She came to the desk, bowed to Yali's position, and said, "Deputy Pavilion Master, Huo Yuhao has woken up. He said... it has nothing to do with Zheng Yiran and Ning Peiya. He was just bewildered for a while..."

"what?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zheng Yiran and Ning Peiya's faces changed instantly. They couldn't figure out... what exactly was Huo Yuhao up to.

……

The scene changed to the infirmary of the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy.

Yali sat on a bench, and Cai Yue'er served her with a small notebook.

"Student Huo Yuhao, there are some things I need to confirm with you. I hope you can answer truthfully."

Yali said expressionlessly: "Excuse me...does the death of that stall owner have anything to do with you?"

“What, what? The stall owner is dead?” Huo Yuhao’s face suddenly showed a trace of horror. “Your Majesty, I, Huo Yuhao, was born in a humble family. All the assets I have now were earned through forging tasks. How can I be qualified to compete with the eldest lady of the Green Phosphorus Snake Family for resources? Even if I want to turn the tables, Your Majesty may not believe it.”

Yali: “…”

No matter what, Yali was someone who had experienced life and death, and she didn't believe a single word of Huo Yuhao's nonsense. In fact... a stall owner in the black market was dead, and a hundred one-word battle armor masters put together were not as valuable as Huo Yuhao alone.

"Let's put the matter of the stall owner aside for now. The cause of death is too bizarre. A Soul King-level One-Word Battle Armor Master was frightened to death. I don't think a little kid like you could do this."

Yali didn't want to continue to dwell on this matter, and quickly changed the subject, "There are some things I shouldn't ask, but since it concerns the safety of the students, I have to ask one more question... What exactly is the resource that you two are fighting for? What level of resource can make you have such evil intentions?"

“It should be a divine weapon.” Huo Yuhao said in an uncertain tone.

Cai Yue'er said sarcastically, "God, divine weapon? Haha, don't be ridiculous. How can a little kid like you know what a divine weapon is?"

“Perhaps I made a mistake.” Huo Yuhao shook his head and said thoughtfully, “I just felt an indescribable feeling on the long sword. Hmm… how should I put it? It was as if there was a voice in the dark reminding me that I must take the long sword by any means.”

"Your Majesty the Holy Spirit, and... Mr. Dean, I admit that my behavior this time was biased. No matter what punishment the academy imposes on me, I have no complaints at all."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao ignored his injuries and hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply towards Yali. (End of this chapter)
