Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 69 Xian Lin'er finally leaves (two in one)

"Shaozhe, is what Lin'er said true?" Moon spoke softly on the recliner, his voice calm and emotionless.

But as a disciple, Yan Shaozhe immediately realized that his teacher was angry. The biggest problem was that he couldn't tell from his tone. Usually, Moon always spoke gently and kindly.

"Teacher, I didn't intentionally withhold resources from the Soul Guidance Department. It's just that the training program for students in the Martial Soul Department was changed not long ago, which led to a significant increase in the demand for food.

I originally thought of taking the ingredients away first, and then withdrawing a sum of money from the Martial Soul Department to the Soul Guidance Department, and treating it as a purchase from the Soul Guidance Department."

Yan Shaozhe was probably afraid that Moon would get angry, so he hurriedly began to explain, but in this mood he did not realize the irrationality of his explanation at all.

The expressions of several elders who supported the Wuhun system were a little strange when they heard this. This reason was too lame and they didn't know how to help make up for it.

"Four questions. First, what kind of changes have been made to the training program to increase the demand for treasure-level ingredients while reducing the total amount of other ingredients? Are you planning to only provide food to talented students and starve the less talented ones?

Second, since the training program had been changed long ago, why didn’t the supplier be notified in advance?

Third, even if there is no time to notify the supplier, can't the Wuhun Department, which has already made changes to the plan, also notify the Soul Guidance Department in the academy?
Fourthly, even if you're too lazy to notify us, where is the funding you mentioned, Dean Yan? Are you planning to wait for the Soul Guidance Department to come and get it yourself?"

Xian Lin'er looked at Yan Shaozhe, with undisguised indifference in her eyes and tone.

"The changes to this training program are mainly due to the increased demand for high-quality ingredients. We already have some inventory of ordinary-aged ingredients, so the total amount seems a bit small this time.

As all of you elders know, this class has produced several Soul Masters, with Dai Huabin having the highest cultivation level, and the other students also having the highest talent ever, so I wanted to put more effort into the growth of these children."

Yan Shaozhe's mind was racing with thoughts as he tried to make amends for the actions of the Wuhun Department. He even mentioned the name of Dai Huabin who had been expelled from school, which was enough to show how confused he was.

"You mean the Spirit Department can arbitrarily allocate resources just by unilaterally making changes? If that's the case, I'll also revise the Spirit Guidance Department's training program, and the money needed will come from your Spirit Department."

Xian Lin'er nodded in agreement.

"Lin'er, this is a bit unreasonable." Cai Meir frowned and said to Xian Lin'er in a reprimanding tone.

"No, no, I'm still far behind you in the Wuhun department in this aspect. Your style of doing things is entirely based on your thoughts." Xian Lin'er sighed, her face still calm.

"Stop arguing. You're all grown-ups, but you're still so reckless!" Old Zhuang "fairly" interrupted Yan Shaozhe and his wife who were about to continue speaking, and turned his head to Xian Lin'er.

"Lin'er, let me make the decision. You return the ingredients to the Spirit Department, and let Shaozhe deduct the amount from the Spirit Department's bill for you."

"Absolutely impossible!" Xian Lin'er said firmly, her sharp eyes meeting Zhuang Lao's without any hesitation.

"Lin'er, how can you talk to Mr. Zhuang like that!" Xian Lin'er's mother, Old Song, shouted sternly.

"So all the elders look down on my Soul Guidance Department? If that's the case, why did we set up the Soul Guidance Department in the first place?" Xian Lin'er looked at her mother, a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Lin'er, don't let your personal grudge with Shaozhe affect the development of the academy. These ingredients are extremely important to the growth of the martial arts students."

Another elder spoke, and his words and deeds still supported the Wuhun system.

"Don't Soul Guidance students need to grow? Soul Guidance engineers study machines, they themselves are not machines. Don't Soul Guidance engineers need precious ingredients to nourish their bodies?"

"How about this, Lin'er, you keep 30%. That's already a lot. All you took are high-quality ingredients." Yan Shaozhe felt annoyed when he heard this, and said with some pain in his heart.

"Not enough." Xian Lin'er shook her head and looked at Yan Shaozhe with cold eyes.

Yan Shaozhe's face suddenly turned cold when he was stared at by this look. He had made such a big concession, but Xian Lin'er was still aggressive.

"This is my bottom line." Yan Shaozhe said coldly. The 30% he took away plus the share from the Soul Guidance Department was exactly half. Even if Mr. Mu spoke, he would have reason to defend himself.

"Bottom line? Then let me tell you my bottom line." Xian Lin'er chuckled, with a hint of mockery in her smile.

"The Martial Soul Department has returned everything they have taken from my Soul Guidance Department over the years, including soul bones, elixirs, and cultivation resources...

Even if you've used up all the elixirs and cultivation resources, it's fine. You can cash them out with Gold Soul Coins, but you must return the soul bones to me."

When Xian Lin'er said this, all the elders were shocked. Yan Shaozhe immediately rejected it, saying, "Impossible! Those soul bones have already been awarded to the students. They don't belong to the Martial Soul Department!"

"It's okay. I'll take my time. Dean Yan, please give me a list and I'll go get it myself." Xian Lin'er said in a flat tone, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

"Lin'er, what are you talking about!" Qian Duoduo on the side said anxiously. After the soul bone is absorbed, it can only be removed by cutting off the limbs. If it is replaced with skull and torso bones, the person will die after being removed.

Xian Lin'er's words would undoubtedly bring great trouble to herself, so Qian Duoduo was so anxious.

"Xian Lin'er, do you know what you are saying?" Yan Shaozhe was shocked and couldn't believe that Xian Lin'er could talk about killing people and taking their bones so calmly.

"I only know that I'm taking back something that belongs to the Soul Guidance Department. In a word, are you giving it to me or not?"

The firmness of Xian Lin'er's tone shocked the surrounding elders. Elder Song immediately shouted angrily, "Xian Lin'er, I think you've gone crazy studying soul guides! Shut up!"

Although Old Song seemed to be scolding Xian Lin'er, he actually had the intention of protecting her, after all, she was his daughter.

"Teacher, look at what Lin'er looks like now!" Yan Shaozhe looked at Moon En, his tone full of dissatisfaction with Xian Lin'er. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to Moon En.

"Alas, it has finally come to this..." Moon sighed, his tone filled with indelible vicissitudes and regret.

"Teacher, do you also think I'm wrong?" Xian Lin'er's eyes were sad and her voice was filled with disappointment.

"Lin'er, the Wuhun Department did do something wrong, but the students are innocent." Moon's face was kind. He was more than a hundred years older than Xian Lin'er, and he looked at her like a child.

"It's time for the Soul Guidance Department and the Martial Soul Department to come to an end. Teacher, I'm not asking you to side with the Soul Guidance Department, I'm just asking you not to get involved, okay?"

After hearing Moon's answer, Xian Lin'er felt much better. At least the teacher didn't think she was being unreasonable, and she was already very satisfied. Looking at Xian Lin'er's pleading expression, Moon fell silent. Although only a few minutes had passed, he seemed to have aged a little more. A thousand words were stuck in his throat, and finally turned into a weak sigh.

"It's because I didn't do a good enough job. I made you suffer so much. It's because of my old age that I lost my sight. If I had known about soul guides earlier... I wouldn't have ended up like this. Sigh~"

Moon stood up from the recliner tremblingly. The elder who was nearby wanted to help him, but he stopped him by waving his hand. He walked out of the Poseidon Pavilion with a hunched body almost bent at a ninety-degree angle, leaning on a cane, looking very lonely.

"My fellow elders, you are all Lin'er's elders. This is a matter between me and the Wuhun Department. You can choose to participate. I have no right to stop you. But don't blame Lin'er for being a rude junior when the time comes.

Yan Shaozhe, stop beating around the bush. If you're a man, just be clear: give it to me or not."

After watching Moon leave, Xian Lin'er relaxed completely. Her face was solemn, her eyes were sharp, and a powerful aura emanated from her. At this moment, Xian Lin'er was just like her title, the Martial God Douluo.

"Xian Lin'er, are you planning to start a war with me?" Looking at Xian Lin'er's current appearance, Yan Shaozhe shouted sternly but weakly. If they really fought, he might not be the one to die, but he would definitely be the loser. He couldn't really fight to the death, right?
"You're still avoiding me even after things have come to this? You're really as useless as before." Xian Lin'er said with disdain, her tone full of sarcasm.

"Xian Lin'er, want to fight? I'll accompany you!" Before Yan Shaozhe could say anything, Cai Meir, who had a grim expression on her face, spoke first, holding a silver spear in her hand.

Xian Lin'er was not willing to be outdone. A blazing flame burst out from her body. The flame was not red, but bluish-white. She also had a layer of green armor on her body. Upon closer inspection, the armor was actually made up of layers of fine scales.

"Enough! What do you think of the Poseidon Pavilion? It's so disgraceful! Old Song, you don't even care about your daughter!" After Moon En left, the oldest people were Lin Huiqun and Old Song. What just said was exactly what Lin Huiqun said.

"We're all young people, so it's normal for us to act a little radically. Old Lin, why are you so anxious? Old Mu hasn't said anything yet, and you're still making comments?"

Elder Song chuckled. In this situation, she would definitely stand on her daughter's side. The other elders twitched their lips when they heard this. Young people? Young people in their eighties or nineties?

"Mr. Lin, I just said, don't blame me for being rude." Xian Lin'er's powerful power was originally directed at Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meir, but now there is also Lin Huiqun.

"You..." Lin Huiqun felt the pressure on her. Her face, which was already gloomy because of what Mr. Song said, became even uglier. However, she was indeed enlightened. Since Mr. Mu had agreed, why should she care?

Originally, Lin Huiqun was a neutral faction. He did not participate in the fight between the Wuhun Department and the Soul Guidance Department, and was devoted to managing his own piece of land, Jubao Pavilion.

"If you want to fight, go out and fight. Don't destroy the golden tree here!"

After hearing Lin Huiqun's words, Xian Lin'er turned her gaze to Cai Meir and her husband. Before she could speak, Yan Shaozhe on the opposite side spoke first.

"Lin'er, calm down. We have known each other for so long, don't make the relationship so awkward?" Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice, trying to maintain a gentle tone.

If he really fought with Xian Lin'er, he would get nothing if he won, and it would be a great humiliation if he lost. Anyway, he had no reason to do so.

"Yan Shaozhe, don't you think you're being ridiculous? You've repeatedly targeted the Soul Guidance Department and proposed countless times at Sea God Pavilion meetings that the Soul Guidance Department's resources be transferred to the Martial Soul Department.

Soul bones, elixirs, funds, which one did you steal less? And now you tell me not to make things too awkward for you? "Xian Lin'er smiled, her tone full of disdain.

"Yan Shaozhe, you are still as hypocritical and cowardly as before." Seeing Yan Shaozhe holding Cai Meir to stop her from fighting, Xian Lin'er knew that this fight could not end.

Xian Lin'er retracted her martial soul and returned to her usual girlish appearance. She no longer cared about Yan Shaozhe and the others, but turned to look at the other elders who had not left yet.

"I know that the elders have always looked down on soul guides and have been resisting them openly and covertly. Funding and cultivation resources are given priority to the martial soul system.

Since everyone despises soul guides, then the Soul Guide Department of Shrek Academy has no reason to exist. I will resign as the Dean of the Soul Guide Department and withdraw from Shrek Academy."

When Xian Lin'er said this, she maintained a calm tone from beginning to end, appearing to be indifferent. It was her clenched fists that foreshadowed her inner unrest.

She had almost devoted all her efforts to Shrek Academy. How could she remain calm if she gave up all her efforts over the years?
Everything she did was to make the soul guide recognized by everyone, but it ended in failure.

It is very difficult to change a person's mind, let alone a group of elders from Shrek Academy whose strength is already at the top of the continent.

The idea of ​​the supremacy of soul masters has been deeply rooted in their minds. The older they get, the more stubborn they become. With their rigid thinking, they basically hold the mentality of not crying until they see the coffin.

Unfortunately, Xian Lin'er was not capable enough to create a soul guide that could cause these people pain, and her identity as an eighth-level half-soul guide could not change Shrek Academy's prejudice against soul guides.

Memories of the past came flooding back like a tide. Although Xian Lin'er felt sad, she did not regret it. She loved soul guides and wanted to make her own ninth-level soul guide from the bottom of her heart.

She has been in Shrek Academy for so many years and has done enough. It is time for her to pursue the future she wants.

In fact, Shrek Academy has nothing that can attract Xian Lin'er. For a soul master who desires strength, the most attractive things are soul rings and soul bones.

But for a soul master, what she longed for was technology, top-notch technology! Whether it was extreme destructive power or invincible defense, in short, it was technology that allowed her to continuously improve.

Xian Lin'er is a powerful soul master and also an outstanding soul instructor. Of course, soul rings and soul bones can impress her.

But her spirit rings are already full. As for spirit bones, strong people of her level are extremely picky about spirit bones. The spirit bones that can make her excited must be treasures of the continent, which Shrek cannot produce.

Soul guide technology? That's even more impossible. She is the top soul guide in Douluo Continent. She is the most powerful person in Shrek Academy and can't provide any help.

It seems that the only thing Shrek Academy can give her is money, but she is an eighth-level semi-soul mentor. No matter how much the level of soul guides in the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent differs, the definition of a soul mentor is the same.

Only those who can produce an eighth-level soul guide can be called an eighth-level soul engineer. For her, the money from selling a few soul guides is more than what Shrek Academy pays her in several years.

The reason why she stayed in Shrek Academy was simply because her mother was there, which also made her set the ideal of developing the soul guidance department when she was young.

But now all this is meaningless. Things did not go as she wished. She encountered obstacles everywhere in Shrek Academy, and she heard endless doubts about the soul guide.

Recalling the various condemnations she received when she first proposed the idea of ​​soul guides, some said she had disgraced the honor of Shrek Academy, that soul guides were a disgrace in the history of soul masters, that soul masters were the foundation, and that any external objects were unorthodox.

Xian Lin'er couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this. It was time for her to leave...
