These words sent a chill down the spines of Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, who were sitting not far from the long table!
The two of them instantly broke out in a sweat, and almost reflexively lowered their heads slightly, not daring to meet Moon's gaze.
After all, the two of them, together with Elder Xuan, told Elder Mu a colossal lie!
Of course, this lie is only half true.
It was true that they had told Elder Mu that Zhang Lexuan was to complete a task.
But the lie is that the specific details of the mission are not what they said at all!
They had confidently told Moon that Zhang Lexuan had gone to take on the important task of the Shrek Surveillance Team, with the goal of going to the border of the Star Luo Empire to wipe out a dangerous stronghold of evil spirit masters.
But what is the actual situation?!
In reality, Zhang Lexuan led Ling Luochen and the other person to secretly infiltrate the Shrek Academy in the air to steal the coveted technology.
In their original plan, no matter what the situation was, there should have been some information sent back, right?
However, after three months, neither of them had sent back any messages, which made them somewhat uneasy, especially since they were both equipped with the academy's latest communication soul tools.
This made Yan Shaozhe and the other man wonder if Zhang Lexuan and her companion had encountered some misfortune.
The thought of such terrifying consequences made the two of them break out in a cold sweat. Two geniuses from the inner court had fallen because of their unauthorized actions, so they were absolutely to blame!
At this moment, the gazes of the elders also fell upon Xuanzi as Mu En inquired.
Despite Moon's scrutiny and accusations, Moon's oily face showed no sign of panic.
His gaze, however, was quite frank.
Xuanzi calmly picked up the large red gourd at his waist, tilted his head back and took a swig of strong liquor, then smacked his lips with great satisfaction before slowly speaking to Elder Mu.
"Old Mu, are you still worried about that girl, Le Xuan?"
Xuanzi's tone was nonchalant and casual, even somewhat matter-of-fact.
"After all, Le Xuan is now an eight-ring Soul Douluo level expert, which is among the top experts on this continent! Those few shady evil Soul Masters are nothing but a bunch of rats in the gutter, they could never be a match for Le Xuan! You can rest assured! Le Xuan is definitely safe!"
Upon hearing Xuanzi's evasive answer, Mu En frowned slightly.
He was not fooled by Xuanzi's perfunctory attitude. His eyes darkened, his voice became more stern, and he spoke to Xuanzi in a deep voice.
"Xuanzi, I don't want to hear you say all this. What I want to know now is what mission has kept Yuexuan away for three months without him returning!"
A hint of anger had already crept into Moon's voice.
It should be noted that after Moon returned from his defeat at Shrek Academy in the sky, his anger aggravated his old injuries, and he had to rest for a long time.
Not long after she came out, she heard that Zhang Lexuan had not returned for three months, and the last person Zhang Lexuan saw was Xuanzi.
Combined with Xuanzi's current evasive and evasive attitude, Mu En immediately felt a strange sense of unease.
Moon's mood at this moment was extremely heavy.
You should know that in Moon's heart, he had long been grooming Zhang Lexuan as the true successor of Shrek Academy!
Especially when he saw that Xuanzi only knew how to eat and drink all day long, and kept breaking the chain at critical moments, and his own disciple Yan Shaozhe, although he was talented, was not steady enough in his actions and was just as troublesome as Xuanzi.
Therefore, Zhang Lexuan naturally became Mu En's first choice!
Moreover, Zhang Lexuan is still very young, and through her own hard work and talent, she has made great strides to reach the level of an eight-ring Contra!
Moreover, her eighth ring is a 100,000-year-old red soul ring!
It's just a pity... If it weren't for Xuanzi's dereliction of duty back then, which left Zhang Lexuan with serious injuries and made her cultivation progress quite slow, her strength would definitely be far greater than it is now. Of course, these problems aren't too many, and she can still be cultivated to become a pillar of Shrek Academy.
Moon is now just hoping that Zhang Lexuan is really alright, otherwise...
"This……"
Seeing Mu En's stern gaze, which seemed to want to devour someone, Xuanzi smacked his lips, knowing that his words just now wouldn't fool anyone.
Xuanzi rolled his eyes, and continued speaking without blushing or skipping a beat.
"Elder Mu, don't worry. This evil spirit master is extremely cunning. Perhaps that girl Le Xuan encountered some troublesome matter on the way while tracking him and was delayed."
"Speaking of which, that girl Lexuan is really something! Before she left, I repeatedly told her to contact the academy if she encountered any trouble and let them know she was safe! These young people nowadays really give me a lot to worry about!"
Hearing Xuanzi's complaint without batting an eye.
Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, who were sitting at the end of the long table, almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
They were internally ranting and raving, and couldn't help but sigh: Old Master Xuan's skin is really thick!
Such composure and such thick skin are truly exemplary for us all!
Just then, Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department sitting opposite Qian Duoduo, suddenly frowned and spoke.
Xian Lin'er has always had a fiery and straightforward temper. She didn't notice Qian Duoduo's crazy winking expression beside her and spoke directly to Mu En.
“Elder Mu, it’s not just Zhang Lexuan who hasn’t returned to the academy for several months. I checked the inner academy’s roster a while ago, and that little girl, Ling Luochen, who is currently one of the Shrek Seven Devils, has also been missing for a long time! And there’s been no news of her at all!”
As soon as Xian Lin'er said these words, the air inside the entire Sea God Pavilion seemed to drop to freezing point in an instant!
Upon hearing these words, Moon's already gloomy face instantly turned even uglier.
This is definitely not a coincidence!
Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo were also terrified and turned pale.
Especially Qian Duoduo! Xian Lin'er had previously asked her about Ling Luochen, and she had given a vague answer. Before the meeting, she had told Xian Lin'er not to bring up such things, so as not to worry Mu En. Mu En had only just recovered, and she didn't want him to worry anymore.
Upon hearing the news that Ling Luochen had also gone missing, Mu En's gaze suddenly shifted, bypassing Xuan Zi and fixing on Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, who were sitting in the corner, sweating profusely!
"Yan Shaozhe! Money galore!"
Moon's voice was icy and carried a terrifying pressure.
"Recently, some elders have reported to me that Qian Duoduo and you, Yan Shaozhe, have been spending a lot of time with Xuanzi in private lately, acting suspiciously and secretly!"
Moon slammed his hand on the armrest of the chair, his gaze sharp as a knife.
"You two definitely know the inside story and the information!"
Mu En spoke directly to Yan Shaozhe.
"Shao Zhe, you speak! Explain this to me properly, what exactly is going on?!"
Swish-!
Startled by being called out by Mu En, Yan Shaozhe trembled all over and stood up abruptly, his legs shaking.
Cold sweat poured down his forehead like a waterfall, and his mind went completely blank.
"Teacher...I...this..."
Yan Shaozhe stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence. He instinctively looked at Xuanzi, who was sitting not far away, with pleading eyes, hoping that this leader could stand up and say a few words at this time, even if it was just to help smooth things over!
but!
To Yan Shaozhe's utter surprise, Xuanzi suddenly adopted an attitude of indifference and detachment at this moment!
Xuanzi slowly uncorked the big red gourd, drank the wine by himself, and then took out a greasy chicken leg from his pocket and started gnawing on it.
He not only ignored Yan Shaozhe's pleading gaze, but also deliberately turned his head to the other side!
Yan Shaozhe let out a desperate cry in his heart. This Elder Xuan, he betrayed his teammates too decisively!
Seeing that even the last straw had failed him, Yan Shaozhe felt utterly hopeless.
At this moment, Moon's gaze was quite serious.
"Shao Zhe!"
Mu En spoke to Yan Shaozhe, his voice devoid of the warmth of their past master-disciple relationship, replaced only by the majesty of the Sea God Pavilion Master.
"I want to hear the truth! I don't want to hear you covering for each other and spouting nonsense! You must give me a clear answer today! Where did Le Xuan and Luo Chen go?!"
Yan Shaozhe could clearly sense that Moon was truly enraged this time!
If I dare to utter another lie, I'm afraid I'll be walking out of the Sea God Pavilion sideways today!
Under immense psychological pressure, and unsure whether Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen were still alive, Yan Shaozhe chose to give in.
"Teacher! I was wrong! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty.
"Actually...actually, Le Xuan and Luo Chen didn't go on any surveillance mission to eliminate evil spirit masters at all..."
"It was us...it was the three of us who took it upon ourselves to secretly send Le Xuan and Luo Chen...to that Shrek Academy in the sky...to be undercover agents!"
Chapter 172 If anything happens to them, you get out of Shrek!
When the elders of the Sea God Pavilion heard these words, most of them were bewildered, because most of them did not know about the pirated Shrek Academy. Only Elder Lin, Mu En, and Xuan Zi knew about it.
Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, Mu En, who was lying on the recliner, was quite incredulous.
"An undercover agent?! You actually sent her there as... an undercover agent?!"
His slightly cloudy eyes widened suddenly, revealing a terrifying bloodshot look in them.
Immediately afterwards, an uncontrollable rage surged straight to the top of his head!
Moon felt his vision go black, and the whole world seemed to spin.
The old wound on his chest, which he had been forcibly suppressing, could no longer be contained by his anger at this moment!
"puff--!!!"
With a muffled sound, Moon's body suddenly lurched forward, and he coughed up a mouthful of shocking, bright red blood!
"Elder Mu!!!"
"Master!!!"
"teacher!!!"
Upon witnessing this sudden scene, the entire Poseidon Pavilion erupted into chaos!
The elderly members of the guild, whether they were old or slightly younger, were all terrified. They cried out in alarm and rushed over from their seats, surrounding Moon's recliner in great anxiety!
You have to understand, Elder Mu is the pillar of Shrek Academy! If anything were to happen to him, Shrek would truly be in ruins!
At this moment, Yan Shaozhe, who was still kneeling on the ground, and Qian Duoduo, who was sitting in a chair and was trembling like chaff, watched Mu En vomit blood. Their hearts almost jumped out of their throats!
Finished!
It's all over!
Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo couldn't help but have a terrible feeling in their hearts, and their hair stood on end!
Is Moon really going to be driven crazy by them?
Thinking of the consequences, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but feel remorseful. If Mu En were to die of anger because of their own willfulness, then they would truly be engraved on Shrek Academy's pillar of shame.
"Teacher! I was wrong! It's all my fault! I was bewitched! I was so audacious!"
Yan Shaozhe scrambled to the front of Mu En's recliner and frantically kowtowed in apology, his voice filled with remorse.
"Mr. Mu, please take good care of your health! It's all our fault, no matter how many mistakes we made. You can hit us or scold us, but please don't get angry and ruin your health!"
Qian Duoduo also repeatedly admitted her mistake from the side.
However, faced with Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo's wailing and apologies as if they had lost their parents, Mu En didn't even want to look at them.
With several elders frantically channeling gentle soul energy into him, Mu En struggled to breathe, barely managing to stabilize the wildly surging blood and qi within his body.
He shakily extended his withered, tree-like fingers, weakly pushing away the stench surrounding him.
"Cough...cough..."
Moon coughed violently several times, each cough producing a few drops of blood.
His eyes were fixed on Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo kneeling on the ground, his voice hoarse.
Moon gasped for breath, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a sense of despair and disappointment.
"Didn't I repeatedly warn the three of you... that Shrek Academy in the sky has unfathomable depths! Absolutely, absolutely do not provoke them!!"
Moon slammed his hand on the armrest of the recliner and roared!
"Why?! Why are you still so self-righteous?! Why are you ignoring my words?!"
"Go undercover?! How dare you?!"
