People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 45. Rumors Spread
"I can tell you clearly that as long as everything you do is reasonable, whether it's Shrek Academy or Poseidon Pavilion, if any old man dares to bully you, I will cut off their heads and let you kick them around like a ball."

After saying that, Qin Yi drove the three women out. He believed that he, Ye Xishui and Xue Di's daughter would definitely not be the kind of pedantic people, and they could eventually take this step.

"What a surprise."

Qin Yi returned to the recliner and couldn't help but complain about Cai Meir in his heart. She was already in her forties, but her methods were like those of a child.

She shouldn't have avoided Qin Xue and her group. She should have directly and transparently caught the Tangmen team and reprimanded them. Considering that it was a first offense, she could make a big deal out of a small matter.

Afterwards, even if Cai Meir gave Tang Men special treatment and arranged three strong substitutes for them, no one could say anything.

But she refused to do so. She almost had the word "biased" written on her forehead. Even Qin Xue and Qin Mengmeng, two eight-year-old children, could see it. This was really...

However, this is not surprising. There is no threshold to become the dean of Shrek Academy. With the support of the Sea God Pavilion, a certain status, and the cultivation level to reach the Titled Douluo, it will be enough.

Qin Yi walked to the window, looked up at the sky, and said meaningfully: "Two Spirit Halls, Rakshasa Goddess Spirit, Moon Blade, Flame Lord, Golden Crocodile King, Coiling Dragon Stick, Eternal Family, haha, the good show in troubled times has just begun!"

……

The scene changed, and just as Qin Mengmeng had thought, Cai Meir had been waiting in the training office for a whole afternoon, and finally in the evening, she personally caught a group of seven people from the Tang Sect who were trying to sneak through with three mercenaries. She scolded them harshly, and ordered them to send the three mercenaries back and not do such a rule-breaking behavior.

Before leaving, Cai Meir privately found Bei Bei and told him not to do such criticized things again, to focus on training and prepare for the upcoming trials, and she would find a way to find a substitute for the Tang Sect.

Qin Yi still overestimated Cai Meir after all. She was just taking things one step at a time without any vision. She even had to look for substitutes on the spot.

……

The next day, the seven members of the Tang Sect gathered in the cafeteria as usual. After eating, they went to the Fighting Spirit Area for actual combat training.

When passing by the intelligence house, the seven-member Tang Sect team was surprised to find that the more than 200 students were not shouting to form teams like they did yesterday, but were gathered in groups of three or five, seemingly discussing something.

"Did you hear that?"

"Huh? What?"

"Tang Sect, that's Tang Sect! I heard... Tang Sect is planning to hire three mercenaries from Soul Hunter Guild to participate in the trials."

"Ah? This kind of thing shouldn't be allowed, right? Shrek Academy has a clear rule that only students can participate in the trials."

"So what? For some people, it's just a matter of a word to let those mercenaries obtain the identities of Shrek Academy students. My roommate saw with his own eyes yesterday evening that the seven-member Tang Sect team walked out of the Soul Hunter Guild in Shrek City and went to the office building of the outer courtyard with two men and one woman dressed as mercenaries."

"Ah? Really fake?"

"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you? Because of this incident, my roommate told me this morning that he didn't want to participate in the Soul Master Competition trials."

"Why? Could it be that... he felt that this was unfair, so he refused to participate?" "On the contrary, he has no ability to win the championship. He is simply afraid of facing those mercenaries."

"This... isn't right? All the mercenaries of the Soul Hunter Guild are living on the edge of a knife. If they had a better background, they wouldn't be in this line of work. The quality of their martial spirits is not likely to be very high. They are at most high-level martial spirits. Why should we be afraid of them?"

"You've already said that they are walking on the edge of a knife and are learning killing skills. Are you willing to face these lunatics?"

"Hmm? You said so much, but isn't it all just speculation? There is no solid evidence?"

"What evidence do we need? So many people saw the seven members of the Tang Sect leading three mercenaries to the office building. Today... we didn't receive any notification from the academy. Doesn't this prove anything?"

"It's not surprising that they didn't report it. Maybe they just let it go because it was a first offense and gave it a verbal reprimand."

"This doesn't make sense. Even if they don't report it, they should issue written regulations to prohibit all teams from using such improper methods to find foreign players to participate in the qualifiers."

"You're right. The fact that the written regulations have not been issued yet means that the top leaders have acquiesced to the Tang Sect's...hiss, why are you pinching me?"

"Hush! Hush! You dare to say bad things about those His Majesties? Are you going to die?"

"What's wrong with saying it? Isn't Shrek Academy known as the best academy in the continent? It's not impossible to have an internal appointment for a soul master competition spot, but what's disgusting is that they have an internal appointment and at the same time they are holding a formal selection competition. What, after doing it, you still want to shut up the students and stop them from talking about it?"

For a moment, the entire intelligence room area was filled with noise. The students were extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of a certain senior executive of Shrek Academy who favored the Tang Sect, and they all planned to protest it by giving up the competition.

According to them, is it really for their safety to allow soul masters who are not students of Shrek Academy to participate in the competition?

After hearing these words, the seven members of the Tang Sect were stunned. They really didn't understand why such a trivial matter had become known to everyone.

Seeing that everyone stopped moving, Huo Yuhao said unhappily, “Don’t pay attention to these people. Rumors stop at the wise. We don’t plan to let mercenaries play. It’s their business if they don’t want to participate in the trials. It just so happens that the number of teams participating in the trials has decreased, so we can play fewer meaningless games.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Sanshi looked at Huo Yuhao with a very strange look. Is Huo Yuhao so stupid... Oh no, so naive?

Without Shrek Academy, the three empires are still the three empires. But if the three empires are no longer willing to pay attention to Poseidon Pavilion and Shrek Academy, can Shrek Academy continue to exist?

Can this kind of thing be ignored?

Xu Sanshi also understood that it was most likely that their competitors accidentally saw them coming out of the Soul Hunting Guild, conducted a series of analyses based on their behavior, and transformed the analyzed news into several versions, which were spread throughout the outer courtyard, causing the Tang Sect to be caught in a whirlpool of public opinion.

hiss……

Xu Sanshi took a deep breath, scratched his head, and thought about how to break the impasse. If this matter could not be handled properly, the Tang Sect's reputation would be ruined.

Who the hell spread this rumor? You guys are happy that the Tang Sect has fallen, right?
