The boss spoke, tears streaming down his face, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Seele brought the sickle closer to the boss.

"It's absolutely true, I have the records here! Please, ladies, check carefully!"

The boss quickly spoke up, saying that he was just thinking about getting rid of this troublesome person. As for causing trouble for the city lord, that was Wang Dong'er and the others' business. He was just a nobody and really didn't have that many lives to risk!

"Have someone go and fetch it."

Wang Dong'er began to speak.

"Yes!"

The boss readily agreed.

Wang Dong'er turned around, looked at Tang Ya, and said with a smile.

"I just had a fight, which used up a lot of my energy. I haven't eaten yet."

She pointed to the table next to her.

"Would you like to sit down and eat together? We can chat while we eat?"

Tang Ya hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

She did have many questions for Wang Dong'er about that "other Tang Clan".

Beibei also came over and sat down next to Tang Ya, looking at Wang Dong'er and the other three with a complicated expression.

Wang Dong'er picked up her chopsticks, just about to start eating, when she suddenly remembered something.

She raised her wrist, turned on the communication function on the bracelet, and sent a message to Daming and Titan.

"Uncle, Uncle, I'm at the xx Hotel in Shrek City, come quickly."

After sending the message, Wang Dong'er thought for a moment and added another sentence.

“I just hit the law enforcement team here, they’ll definitely call someone over, you guys come and help me out.”

After sending the message, Wang Dong'er nodded in satisfaction.

With her two uncles around, she wasn't afraid of any number of people from this bootleg Shrek Academy.

After all, the eldest father is a level 99 Limit Douluo, and the second father is a level 98 Super Douluo.

Even on the Douluo Continent, he would be considered a formidable figure. Although he suffered repeated defeats at his own academy, he was still a powerful individual, and it wouldn't take him long to arrive.

......

On the other side, Da Ming and Titan received a message from Wang Dong'er. Just as they were about to check it, Tang San stopped them.

"It's news from Xiao Qi."

Titan replied to Tang San.

"What's the big deal with Xiao Qi? Now, remember my instructions. Don't make any mistakes, or else..."

Da Ming and Titan had no choice but to give up and listen quietly to Tang San explain his plan.

Chapter 217 Your Tang Clan and My Tang Clan are truly different. You have limits, but even my Soul Emperor has none.

Tang Ya sat opposite Wang Dong'er, her feelings quite complicated.

She looked at the girl in front of her, who was a few years younger than her. Her pinkish-blue eyes were clear and bright, and her every move exuded a composure and confidence that she had never seen before.

They are both from the Tang Clan.

The names are the same, and the techniques passed down are also from the same lineage.

However... their current situations are completely different.

Her Tang Clan was nearly wiped out, leaving only her and Bei Bei struggling to keep it afloat, with most of the sect's martial arts techniques lost.

And the Tang Clan, where Wang Dong'er belongs...

Tang Ya's gaze fell on Wang Dong'er's exquisite academy uniform, and she recalled the smooth and graceful movements she had just performed when she used the Ghostly Shadow Step and the Crane Control Dragon Capture technique. A feeling she couldn't help but feel a surge of indescribable emotions welled up in her heart.

It was a bittersweet feeling, tinged with a mix of envy and self-deprecation.

In the end, it all turned into a sigh.

Wang Dong'er noticed that Tang Ya's expression was not good, so she did not ask about her Tang Clan.

Although she was young, she knew that some scars, once reopened, would only cause more pain.

Tang Ya didn't speak, and Wang Dong'er didn't urge her either. They just quietly ate the dishes on the table, waiting for the other to speak first.

After a long while, Tang Ya took a deep breath and looked up at Wang Dong'er.

“Wang…Wang Dong’er.”

She paused, as if organizing her thoughts.

"You just... defeated a Soul King and two Soul Masters using only the Tang Sect's unique skills?"

"Yes."

Wang Dong'er nodded.

Tang Ya's eyes dimmed even more.

Relying solely on the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques, they defeated both the Soul King and the Soul Master...

Moreover, in such a short period of time, he didn't even release his martial spirit.

This achievement is many times better than what she, the leader of the Tang Clan, has accomplished.

Tang Ya lowered her head and looked at her hands placed on the table. In those hands, she had once held Tang Clan's hidden weapons and practiced the Ghost Shadow Step.

but……

She never had the confidence that she could defeat a Soul King and two Soul Masters using only Tang Sect techniques.

Let alone a Soul King, she might not even be able to win against a Soul Master.

Although the Tang Clan's martial arts techniques are exquisite, they are ultimately only supplementary.

Without sufficient strength to support it, even the most exquisite techniques will find it difficult to unleash their true power.

She's only at the third ring level of cultivation so far.

It's not easy to hit three rings and four rings, let alone five.

Tang Ya bit her lip, the feeling of helplessness in her heart intensifying.

She felt very weak.

So weak... he probably won't even have the right to avenge the Tang Clan in his lifetime.

"Then... what is the strongest person in your Tang Clan?"

Tang Ya raised her head, her eyes filled with trepidation.

Wang Dong'er thought for a moment, and then said.

"I'm not sure who the strongest is, but my substitute teacher is a level 99 Limit Douluo."

Tang Ya's pupils suddenly contracted, and she froze in her seat.

Level 99...Ultimate Douluo?!

Her mind went blank, and a storm of shock surged through her heart.

What is the concept of Ultimate Douluo?

That is the existence at the very top of the entire Douluo Continent!

Her Tang Sect, let alone a Limit Douluo, even a Soul Emperor is hard to find.

And this other branch of the Tang Clan even has a Limit Douluo?

Tang Ya felt that her brain was no longer capable of handling the workload.

She originally thought that although her branch of the Tang Clan had declined, it had at least preserved the orthodox tradition of the Tang Clan.

But now...

Looking at Wang Dong'er's matter-of-fact expression, she suddenly realized that her previous thoughts were simply a joke.

The other party not only has a complete lineage of cultivation techniques and a powerful academy as its backing, but also has a powerful expert at the level of Extreme Douluo.

And she... had nothing.

Tang Ya took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart, but found that she simply couldn't do it.

The difference is simply too great.

……

Outside the hotel, Beibei stood alone on the street, her brows furrowed.

His gaze kept sweeping across the end of the street, his heart filled with worry.

The law enforcement team was defeated, and this matter can no longer be kept secret.

Before long, the higher-ups in Shrek City will receive the news and will definitely send someone over.

Moreover, the people who come will definitely not be of Zhao Tieshan's caliber.

Beibei's hands were clenched into fists inside her sleeves.

He didn't want things to escalate.

If it can be resolved peacefully, that would be the best outcome.

The question is... is the other party willing to resolve this peacefully?

Judging from Zhao Tieshan's attitude just now, the city lord and Xuanzi are behind this matter.

Will those two let this go?

As Beibei was thinking, a series of heavy footsteps suddenly came from the end of the street.

He raised his head, his gaze sharpening.

A group of Soul Masters dressed in black armor were seen escorting an old man in a dark robe, striding towards them.

The old man appeared to be in his sixties or seventies, with his hair neatly combed, a prosperous face, and wearing a robe with gold embroidery. He also wore a crystal-clear jade pendant, and his every move exuded the majesty of someone who had long held a high position.

It was Shen Ce, the city lord of Shrek City, a powerful figure at the Title Douluo level. (Not Shi Xing; Shi Xing only took office when Huo Yuhao was fourteen years old, as explained earlier.)

Beibei's heart tightened, and she quickly stepped forward, stopping in front of Shen Ce and bowing respectfully.

"Lord Shen Ce."

Shen Ce stopped in his tracks, his murky yet sharp eyes falling on Bei Bei, and he raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Beibei?"

His tone carried a hint of surprise.

What are you doing here?

Beibei took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm.

"Lord Shen Ce, this matter today is actually a misunderstanding."

Shen Ce frowned slightly.

"misunderstanding?"

Beibei nodded and quickly gave a brief account of what had happened.

He recounted everything, from the hotel waiter's recommendation of the signature dish to the exorbitant bill of 500,000 gold soul coins, to Wang Dong'er and others arguing their case, and finally the law enforcement team's bias towards the restaurant... He told them everything without missing a single word.

After saying that, Beibei raised her head and said...

“Lord Shen Ce, this matter was indeed caused by unreasonable pricing. Please do not pursue the responsibility of those girls any further.”

He paused for a moment, then added.

"At the same time, I also urge you to reconsider this pricing strategy. Such a price not only harms the interests of outsider Soul Masters and ordinary civilians, but also damages the reputation that Shrek Academy has built up over thousands of years!"

After hearing Bei Bei's words, Shen Ce remained silent for a moment.
