Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 229 The Astounding Wisdom of Cai Yue'er!
"Little Yeka..."

In the dim light, Yuan Enzhentian looked at his granddaughter's lonely figure, and a pang of sorrow appeared in his weathered eyes.

He can only look at his granddaughter now, but cannot go up to acknowledge her.

Moreover, he didn't know in what capacity he should meet Yuanen Yehui.

Is it grandfather, or enemy...?

He couldn't tell the difference, he really couldn't tell the difference!

"Damn Shrek Academy! They actually put my granddaughter in this shabby dormitory!"

Immediately, Yuan Enzhen suppressed the pain in his eyes, replacing it with a blazing rage.

When he arrived at the work-study student dormitory, he found that the environment was indeed as Gu Yue had described, very simple and rudimentary. Even the washing area was somewhat dilapidated, and the bathing area was not private at all.

Furthermore, there were very few people in the entire work-study dormitory, and in fact, there was only Yuan En Ye Hui in this area. This shows how bad the living conditions were in the work-study dormitory. Calling it a dormitory is an understatement.

The students who are able to get into Shrek Academy are not only talented, but also have the background of relying on their "fathers".

It's either my father, a federal congressman, or my grandfather, a titled Douluo.

After all, it is extremely difficult to even qualify for Shrek Academy's freshman assessment these days, as the number of places available in each federal city is limited.

Despite possessing the strength of a Limit Douluo, he was unable to provide resources to help Yuanen Yehui during her cultivation. If it weren't for this incident, he wouldn't even have known that his granddaughter was going through such a difficult time and would have been kept in the dark.

"I'm about to reach Soul Master level, but all the money I saved up has been used to make the One-Word Battle Armor. What am I going to do with my second Soul Spirit...?"

Yuan Enhui slowly put down her pen, a hint of distraction appearing on her cold and beautiful face, but her red lips were tightly pursed as she murmured something.

She has now cultivated to the level of Soul Master, which is level 39, but she is facing a huge problem: she has run out of funds to buy a second Soul Spirit.

Her already meager savings were now empty.

In this era, soul beasts are almost extinct, and soul masters who want to break through can only purchase soul spirits from the Spirit Pagoda.

"Looks like I'll have to take on more missions tomorrow..."

"Self-reliance leads to abundance, and labor is glorious!"

"Yehui, you must believe in yourself. Your father is waiting for you to save him!"

With a slight shake of her head, a hint of determination flashed in Yuan En Ye Hui's beautiful eyes. She clenched her fists tightly and encouraged herself.

"I need to go to sleep quickly, or I'll miss out on the restaurant's special offers tomorrow!"

Noticing the time on the clock on the wall, Yuan Enhui exclaimed in surprise, quickly put away the diary with a wave of her hand, and got up to walk to the bedside.

With limited funds, she had to be even more frugal.

Yuan Enzhen, who was hiding in the shadows, fell completely silent upon witnessing this scene.

As the bright soul-guiding light went out, Yuanen Zhentian stood silently in place like a sculpture.

“Senior Zhentian, since you’re here, why not have a chat at the Sea God Pavilion?”

After an unknown amount of time, a clear voice suddenly rang in his ears, and it was the voice of Yun Ming, the master of the Sea God Pavilion.

The voice snapped Yuanen Zhentian out of his reverie, a bitter expression creeping onto his dignified and resolute face. "Perhaps I was wrong back then..."

Then, Yuanen Zhentian gave Yuanen Yehui one last deep look, turned around and walked out of the work-study dormitory. In that instant, a hint of violent emotion surfaced in his eyes...

Poseidon Island, Poseidon Pavilion.

Yun Ming sat in the main seat of the conference room, with Cai Yue'er, Ya Li, and several elders sitting to his side, as if they were waiting for something.

They had been discussing the Star Luo Empire Academy competition, and Yuan Enzhentian had noticed it the moment he entered Shrek Academy. So, after finalizing the meeting agenda, he invited him here for a chat.

After all, the Yuanen family has many powerful members, and Yuanen Zhentian is a veteran Limit Douluo level expert. If Shrek Academy encounters difficulties in the future, they may need to ask him for help.

"Buzz!"

As ripples spread through the space, Yuan Enzhen's powerful figure suddenly stepped out of the space and into the conference room.

"Senior Zhentian, please have a seat." Yun Ming stood up and gestured for Yuanen Zhentian to sit down when he saw him appear.

Upon seeing Yuan Enzhentian, Old Li, standing to the side, felt a flicker of joy in his eyes.

"I never expected that the person from the Yuanen family would be Yuanen Zhentian, who is at the Limit Douluo level. Then Elder Long's plan to use someone else to do his dirty work must have succeeded!"

Old Li said with a mixture of surprise and joy.

Sure enough, he still needs to follow in the footsteps of Elder Long Yeyue, because that will give him a better future!
"Lord Yunming, it's been a long time." Yuanen Zhentian said calmly, bowing slightly to Yunming.

As the head of a family, he must always remain clear-headed, but he also needs to give an explanation regarding his granddaughter, Yuanen Yehui.

Moreover, based on his understanding of Yun Ming, he shouldn't do something so inconsistent...

"Senior Zhentian, why have you suddenly come to my academy today? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I could have given you a proper welcome." Yun Ming asked with a warm smile.

"Hmm?" Yuan Enzhentian's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. Yun Ming didn't know he was coming? Could there be something fishy going on here?

Before he could even speak, Elder Li transmitted a message to Yun Ming. Immediately afterward, a hint of surprise flashed in Yun Ming's eyes, and a touch of coldness appeared on his face.

However, at this moment, Yuanen Zhentian didn't care about any of that. Instead, he looked straight at Yun Ming and asked in a deep voice, "Sect Master Yun Ming, do you still remember what you promised me back then?"

"About the Demon Dimension?" Yun Ming asked softly.

"No, it's about Yuanen Yehui's cultivation resources." Yuanen Zhentian shook his head slightly, his tone remarkably calm.
"You promised me that you would provide Yuanen Yehui with resources during her cultivation, which is why I felt at ease letting Yehui join Shrek Academy. I wonder if Pavilion Master Yunming has kept your promise?"

“This…” Yun Ming raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Cai Yue’er beside him: “I have already instructed Elder Yue… to do this matter.”

"Elder Cai, please introduce yourself to Senior Zhentian."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Enzhentian's gaze darkened, and he looked up at Cai Yue'er beside him.

Perhaps he knows the real culprit...and the reason.

"As for Yuan Enhui, I naturally gave the resources to her," Cai Yue'er said after a moment of realization.

"However, I will not give it to her directly, but rather slowly and gradually, so that she can acquire resources by completing tasks."

"This way, she can be trained and given cultivation resources at the same time. It's the best of both worlds."

Cai Yue'er smiled, seemingly quite pleased with her arrangement.

"How about it? Isn't it perfect? ​​According to what I learned last time, Yuanen Yehui can now do three missions a day."

"..." Upon hearing this, Yun Ming was somewhat taken aback.

Is this...is this right?

"So, after Ye Hui completes the mission, the reward she receives is higher than that of the other trainees?" Yuan Enzhentian continued to ask calmly.

“How is that possible? Shrek Academy has always been fair and impartial, treating everyone equally. If she does the same work as the students but receives more pay, isn’t that unfair?” Cai Yue’er said without hesitation.

"Hiss~, a genius!" Old Li gasped, for some reason, he had a bad feeling.

Ya Li's gentle face also paused slightly. If what Cai Yue'er said was true, then Yuan En's resources were earned through his own hard work, right?

"Why was Ye Hui assigned to the work-study dormitory?" Yuan Enzhen asked with a "kind" expression, his teeth clenched.

“Work-study students enjoy the same benefits as other work-study students. They can get priority in taking on tasks. I don’t know how many people want to be work-study students at Shrek Academy but can’t get the job,” Cai Yue’er said with a hint of pride.

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from Yuan Enzhentian beside him, Old Li broke out in a cold sweat and wanted to ask Cai Yue'er to stop talking.

"So you arranged all of this by yourself?" Yuan Enzhentian stared intently at Cai Yue'er and asked in a deep voice.

“Of course,” Cai Yue’er nodded confidently.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Enzhen laughed in fury, "Good! Good! Good!"

"That's excellent, of course." Cai Yue'er was very satisfied with herself.

"You think you did the right thing?" Yuan Enzhentian laughed even more angrily.

“That’s natural…” Cai Yue’er said.

"Shut up!" Yun Ming shouted, directly ordering Cai Yue'er to be silent, as if he was afraid that Yuan Enzhentian wouldn't be angry.

He still trusted Ren Caiyue'er, who he had grown up with, too much back then.

Yuan Enzhen took a deep breath, his entire body radiating a terrifying pressure as if it were an abyss or a prison. His eyes were filled with sternness as he looked at Cai Yue'er, and an earthy yellow halo continued to spread, his fan-like palm poised to strike.

"Senior Zhentian, what are you doing? Our two major forces have always been on good terms. Back then, it was our two major forces that fought against the Demon Plane together." Yun Ming gracefully landed in front of Cai Yue'er and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Enzhen paused slightly.

There is no doubt that Shrek Academy helped them when they faced the Demon Dimension.

Yun Ming was clearly trying to protect Cai Yue'er, and this was still the Sea God Pavilion.

Ya Li, standing to the side, looked at Yun Ming, who was protecting Cai Yue'er. Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly. Although she knew that Yun Ming was doing this to maintain the dignity of the Sea God Pavilion, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Especially after seeing the way Cai Yue'er looked at Yun Ming, her eyes were clearly filled with dependence and admiration.

As the wife, she felt like she had been... violated, especially in public.

Jin Lao, who had been watching from the shadows, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene. Yuan En Zhentian was still too honest; he didn't even know how to start with zero frames and had to charge up his power before slapping someone.

I'm so angry at their lack of ambition!
Yuan Enzhentian remained silent for a moment, recalling his current identity as Yuan Enyehui. He knew that Yuan Enyehui couldn't know about this deception yet, otherwise, if Yuan Enyehui knew that all his efforts had been in vain, wouldn't his beliefs collapse?

"Since we can't make a move here at the Sea God Pavilion, we'll wait until this thing leaves Shrek Academy before I give it a good beating!"

Yuan Enzhen made a silent decision and slowly suppressed his anger.

If he were to make a move here, not only would he be ungrateful, but Yuan En Ye Hui might also be expelled from school, making all his previous efforts a joke.

But once he left Shrek Academy, he put on a black hood.

So it makes perfect sense that a senior member of the Sea God Pavilion surnamed Cai was severely injured by a powerful member of the Holy Spirit Cult while traveling...
