Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 159 Yun Ming: This child should be my adopted son!

Congratulations, Junior Sister!

After Tang Yinmeng's mental energy fluctuations subsided, Yun Ming and the other onlookers also landed on the ground.

Yun Ming stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Tang Yinmeng with gentle eyes.

Tang Yinmeng is his master's last disciple. Although there is a significant age difference between them, she is his junior sister according to seniority.

Before the Inner Court, a large number of disciples were lost. Although he later got his revenge, for the Inner Court disciples, their deceased relatives and friends could not be brought back.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the inner courtyard was rather somber during this period.

Now that Senior Sister Tang Yinmeng has been able to regain her strength and return, she has undoubtedly set a good example for the disciples.

"Teacher! Senior brother! And... Sister Yali!"

Tang Yinmeng turned around, put away her martial spirit, and smiled when she saw the three of them arrive.

Her gentle and sunny demeanor seemed to bring her back to her former self.

"Good child! It's good that you're thinking positively!"

Long Yeyue stepped forward first and gently pulled her into his arms, his thin hands wiping away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes.

Tang Yinmeng is someone she's watched grow up; it would be best if she could recover.

"Teacher! I'm alright!"

Tang Yinmeng shook her head and squirmed playfully in Long Yeyue's arms.

The past has been buried deep in her heart... Whether she has truly let go, only she knows the answer.

"That's good!"

Long Yeyue smiled and nodded. Then, she looked curiously at her disciple in her arms and asked without hesitation.

"But, Yinmeng, how did you suddenly come to this realization?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but rub his forehead, thinking, "Oh my god, my master's wife!"

She just let it go, don't make your junior sister depressed again.

But since Long Yeyue had already spoken, Yun Ming couldn't stop her, so he could only look at Tang Yinmeng with the same curiosity.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yinmeng did not show any signs of sadness upon hearing this; instead, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"I have to thank a junior brother for this. He helped Mu Zi fulfill her last wish and also allowed me and Mu Zi to say our final goodbye..."

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked gratefully at the two figures standing at the entrance of the dormitory on the second floor.

Without that junior brother bringing back Mu Zi's words, I might still be trapped in that endless cycle of nightmares.

"It's him!"

Yun Ming and the others looked up and happened to see Jiang Yi and his companion.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi and Shen Yi, who were in the corridor, also jumped down from the second floor.

"I've met several teachers!"

The two bowed to the three people.

"No need to be polite!"

Yun Ming waved his hand, signaling the two to stand up.

"Thank you, Sect Master! I have something to report to you!"

Then, without waiting for Yun Ming to ask, Jiang Yi took out the golden soul bead containing the remnant souls of dozens of Shrek disciples.

"I discovered this by chance a couple of days ago while on a mission for the Tang Clan..."

Jiang Yi handed the golden soul bead to Yun Ming and recounted his experiences over the past two days.

After hearing this, the group's expressions shifted from joy at Tang Yinmeng's recovery to anger towards the evil spirit master.

"Hmph! A bunch of rats from the gutter, only daring to resort to such despicable tricks!"

Long Yeyue snorted coldly, and then, as usual, looked at Yun Ming and launched an attack.

"Look at you, Yun Ming! Your teacher has only been gone for a few years! And Shrek Academy has become like this... Where is the dignity of Shrek Academy?"

"How dare a mere group of shady evil spirit masters provoke Shrek Academy? Today they dare to use the souls of Shrek disciples as sacrifices. In the future, will they attack Shrek City?"

Jiang Yi, standing to the side, blinked. "You know what, you guessed right!"

“Sister Yue…” Yun Ming opened his mouth, but didn’t know how to refute.

This time, he did indeed fail in his duty. If it weren't for Long Yeyue's insistence, he would have resigned from his position as the head of the Sea God Pavilion to atone for his mistake.

"Hmph! Not even as good as a junior!"

Long Yeyue, however, was unmoved and gave Yun Ming a cold look in front of everyone.

Then, she looked at Jiang Yi with admiration, and a thought that had been brewing in her mind for a while was blurted out.

"Little fellow! You're not bad! I misjudged you back then! Would you like to become my disciple..."

"Ahem! Sister Yue!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yun Ming interrupted her in time and handed her the golden soul bead.

"These children's souls are weak, and they probably won't last much longer. We can't keep them waiting any longer; let's send them to merge with the Golden Tree!"

Long Yeyue was interrupted and looked a little annoyed, but Yun Ming's reason was perfectly justified, so she could only glare at Yun Ming unhappily.

"All you do is order this old man around! Let's see what you'll do after I'm gone..."

Long Yeyue muttered something to herself, but still accepted the soul bead before disappearing into the void.

To merge one's soul with the Golden Tree is the highest honor of Shrek Academy, and this can be considered a tribute to these sacrificed students.

Yun Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief after Long Yeyue left.

His master's wife almost ruined his plan. If he rashly asked Jiang Yi to become his disciple, wouldn't that be like alerting the enemy?

What if Zang Xin hears something and takes Jiang Yi back... then all of Ya Li's recent preparations will have been for nothing.

"Jiang Yi! You did a great job! On behalf of the disciples who died, I thank you."

Yun Ming looked at Jiang Yi with admiration, and the idea of ​​taking him in as a godson surged in his heart again.

Especially with that little girl Na'er, who hasn't been cultivating properly lately and spends all her time hanging out in the outer courtyard, his desire has only grown stronger.

The burden of being the Pavilion Master is too heavy. If Na'er is unwilling, it's fine to just let her be happy like this...

"You're too kind, Sect Leader! As long as Jiang Yi is at Shrek Academy, he is a disciple of Shrek Academy. This is what I should do!"

Jiang Yi spoke calmly and confidently, which undoubtedly improved Yun Ming's impression of him even more.

"Hey! The academy has always valued rules and regulations, and rewards and punishments are clearly defined. You have made a great contribution this time, and the academy must set an example!"

Yun Ming waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Jiang Yi and said.

"How about this? You can browse the fifth floor of the Sea God Pavilion's library for three days. What do you think?"

"The fifth floor..."

Tang Yinmeng, who was standing next to Yun Ming, looked at him in surprise. This reward was too much!

The library houses various secret techniques collected by Shrek Academy over tens of thousands of years, which is the fundamental reason why Shrek Academy is able to stay far ahead.

The fifth floor is the library, which is the top floor. It contains the cultivation insights of the Limit Douluo of Shrek Academy throughout the ages, as well as various secret techniques and soul skills.

Even the elders of the Sea God Pavilion need to make great contributions to reach the fifth level, and they can only choose one secret technique from among them.

This allowed Jiang Yi to peruse it for three days, which would probably make most of the Grand Secretaries envious.

Although she was grateful to Jiang Yi, to be honest, Jiang Yi's achievements this time did not deserve such a reward.

Tang Yinmeng looked at Yun Ming strangely. Could this be her senior brother's illegitimate child?

But Ya Li, standing to the side, was also smiling as she looked at Jiang Yi ahead, her eyes filled with the loving care of an elder.

Seeing Jiang Yi standing there, Shen Yi gently kicked him.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master!"

Jiang Yi seemed to only come to his senses at this moment, and hurriedly bowed to Yun Ming to express his gratitude.

"No need to thank me! This is what you deserve! As long as you are willing to contribute to the academy, the academy will not let you down! Just remember to cultivate diligently in the future!"

Yun Ming waved his hand, a smile on his face.

Although the Tang Clan is wealthy, when it comes to foundational resources, no one on the continent has a deeper foundation than Shrek Academy.

Just then, Zang Xin was busy investigating the Tang Clan, which gave him an opportunity to exploit the loopholes.

Brother Zang, I won't compete with you for this disciple, but can't I at least take him as an adopted son...?
