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

Chapter 176 Will Shrek's Senior Sister Meet the Holy Spirit Cult's Son?
"Yinmeng! Don't be afraid! Your teacher is here and will definitely stand up for you!"

Long Yeyue looked at Tang Yinmeng, who resolutely stood in front of Jiang Yi, and a hint of gentleness appeared on her face. Then she glared fiercely at Jiang Yi.

"No, teacher, this was my own choice, it has nothing to do with my junior brother! You've really misunderstood."

Tang Yinmeng shook her head vigorously, biting her lower lip tightly with her pearly teeth. Her brows showed even more weariness and sorrow, yet she still insisted on defending Jiang Yi.

"Voluntary?"

Long Yeyue feigned suspicion, looking sharply at her, and slowly uttered a name she didn't want to face.

"Then... what about Mu Zi?"

The name "Lan Muzi" struck Tang Yinmeng like a thunderbolt, causing her to catch her breath and nearly lose her composure.

"Mu Zi... he has already fallen."

She gritted her teeth, her voice trembling slightly, as if each word weighed a ton.

"I...I still have to start a new life..."

These words seemed to have exhausted all her strength. After she finished speaking, her aura weakened, and her eyes dimmed.

Long Yeyue did not continue questioning him, but instead quietly turned her gaze to Jiang Yi, observing his reaction.

If you still don't know what's good for you after all this, then I'll have to use some forceful methods.

Fortunately, everything is still under her control.

Jiang Yi was startled and looked at Tang Yinmeng in disbelief, seemingly shocked that his senior sister would say such a thing.

Less than half a year after Senior Brother Lan Muzi's sacrifice, Senior Sister was willing to say such things against her own conscience in order to protect him...

A deep sense of emotion welled up on his face.

"Senior sister!"

Jiang Yi excitedly stepped forward and reached out to hold Tang Yinmeng's hand, but she turned away to avoid him.

"Junior brother, you should go back first."

Tang Yinmeng turned her head away, no longer looking at him, her voice weary and somewhat distant.

“You saved your senior sister once, this time... consider it your senior sister repaying you.”

She closed her eyes, trying her best to remain calm, but a slight tremor could still be heard in her voice.

"Senior sister is a little tired! Just treat this accident as a dream. I don't need you to take responsibility."

"Senior sister! I..."

Jiang Yi seemed to finally be provoked by this distant attitude, and stepped forward again with great emotion.

However, Long Yeyue had already achieved her goal, so she naturally wouldn't let him say any more.

With a wave of her hand, an irresistible force instantly enveloped Jiang Yi, and the two of them vanished from the pavilion in a flash.

……

Outside the barrier, the void rippled slightly, and two figures appeared.

"Let me go! I want to see my senior sister!"

Jiang Yi struggled in Long Yeyue's grasp, shouting excitedly.

But Long Yeyue remained unmoved, casually placing him outside the barrier and observing coldly.

"See her? Do you really not understand, or are you just pretending to be confused with this old woman?"

Long Yeyue snorted coldly and started her PUA tactics again.

"Yinmeng is a devoted lover! Muzi has only been gone for a short time, how could she possibly have room for a brat like you in her heart!"

"She was just kind-hearted and didn't want you to bear the blame, that's why she said those things! If you know what's good for you, don't bother her anymore, otherwise..."

Long Yeyue spoke with a warning tone, while simultaneously reaching out to retrieve Tang Yinmeng's identity token from him.

"Otherwise, I will never tolerate you!"

Before she could finish speaking, her figure blurred again and disappeared from the spot.

Jiang Yi stood there blankly, gazing at the distant pavilion, seemingly anticipating the appearance of that figure in green.

……

Long Yeyue's figure reappeared in the attic.

"Teacher, this is the last time!"

Tang Yinmeng sat upright by the window, without turning around, her tone calm and undisturbed.

Her gaze lingered on the figure that remained outside the barrier, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

"What? You've really fallen for this kid?" Long Yeyue raised an eyebrow at her absent-minded look, then smiled meaningfully.

"If you're truly willing, then it's not impossible..."

After all, the emotions that are acted out are never as reliable as those that are genuine.

"..."

Tang Yinmeng remained silent and did not respond. After a long while, she slowly shook her head.

She felt no romantic love for her junior brother; rather, she felt a deep sense of camaraderie and mutual respect, but it went far beyond that.

It was a unique and indescribable feeling, not limited to the relationship between fellow students.

The memories of those three days of passionate intimacy were deeply etched into her mind like a brand, impossible to erase.

This was the first man in her life, and probably... the last.

Regardless of his initial intentions, it is undeniable that he has already occupied an important and undeniable place in her life.

"Suit yourself, but you can't see that kid again for a while!"

Long Yeyue did not insist, but simply gave a few words of advice.

She wouldn't mind giving Tang Yinmeng to that boy, but at least not now.

Time must be allowed to ferment, allowing that guilt to grow continuously in Jiang Yi's heart until it transforms into an inescapable obsession.

At that time, if she were to step in and help the two of them get together, Jiang Yi would naturally become Shrek Academy's most loyal disciple.

Having finished explaining, Long Yeyue turned and left without lingering.

"Sorry……"

After Long Yeyue left, Tang Yinmeng looked at Jiang Yi, who was still calling out in vain outside the barrier, and let out a barely audible sigh, full of apology and confusion.

She herself couldn't quite figure out what kind of feelings she had for this junior brother, but that deep sense of guilt was real.

……

At the same time, outside the barrier.

"Senior sister, I will definitely give you an explanation, just wait for me!"

Jiang Yi shouted a few more times, then turned and left reluctantly, looking somewhat absent-minded.

However, he was quite calm inside, and even a little excited.

As Zang Xin's apprentice, this is both an advantage and a limitation; who knows when he might be recalled to the Tang Clan.

The Holy Spirit Cult's attack on Shrek will likely occur at least three years from now.

He had to make sure he stayed at Shrek Academy for the next three years, and Long Yeyue had done him a great favor in a way.

The adopted son of the Sea God, the prince of the Abyss, and the holy son of the Holy Spirit Cult—these three identities are inextricably linked.

If one of their identities is exposed, it will be difficult to carry out the work of the other two identities.

Therefore, maintaining the current situation is the best-case scenario, and we should try our best not to expose these deep identities.

"Sigh, Senior Sister..."

Before leaving, Jiang Yi glanced back at the pavilion behind him, his eyes gleaming as if he could see that haggard figure through the barrier.

While he wouldn't be entirely heartless, in terms of feelings, Tang Yinmeng was mostly just a tool to him.

From the moment Tang Yinmeng survived the Ghost Emperor's attack, her future fate was almost sealed.

He was not only one of the culprits who killed Lan Muzi, but also the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult, and at the same time, the adopted son of the Sea God, which was also serving Tang San's grand plan for ten thousand years.

The relationship between the two can be described as quite delicate.

Jiang Yi couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, unsure how to describe the relationship between the two.

Will Shrek's innocent senior sister never meet the Holy Spirit Cult's holy son?
Never mind... there's always a way out.

He shook his head to clear his mind and walked towards the outer courtyard.

Long Yeyue thought she had caught him red-handed and that he wouldn't bother her for a while.

This old thing, as a quasi-god, is still a bit difficult to kill; it's not the time to deal with her yet.

Moreover, with Long Yeyue at Shrek Academy, how could Shrek Academy's attention not be distracted?
……

A moment later, Jiang Yi returned to his dormitory.

As soon as he pushed open the door, a voice filled with surprise mixed with a hint of resentment suddenly rang out.

"Jiang Yi, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
