In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Three years later.

Sun and Moon Empire, Shuofang County, Anmo City Lord's Mansion.

Zhu Ningyu lay on a recliner, while a blue-haired girl respectfully massaged her shoulders.

The blue-haired girl is none other than Lan Fuzi, the daughter of the female villain Demon Emperor from the Douluo Continent III era!

Speaking of the Demon Emperor... she was a tragic figure. Her husband was killed by Tang San, and her Deep Sea Demon Whale clan was labeled as evil soul beasts, suffering oppression from other sea soul beast clans.

The Demon Emperor hated the two generations of Sea Gods, as well as the Demon Soul Great White Shark and other lackeys of the Sea Gods, to the point that... when Zhu Ningyu sent Hong Ling with a large number of Transformation Pills to persuade the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan to join the anti-Tang San camp, the Demon Emperor agreed without hesitation.

Whether they are land-based or sea-based spirit beasts, no one can escape this!

Wang Dong'er wasn't idle either. She set up an advanced Soul Master Academy in Anmo City and recruited six Soul Masters with decent talent to prepare for the upcoming Soul Master Competition.

Suddenly, Zhu Ningyu felt a fragrant breeze wafting over. She subconsciously frowned and said thoughtfully, "Dong'er, we should set off tomorrow. Have you thought about what alias you'll use to participate in this Soul Master Competition? You can't just use a fake name. If it's too fake, your sycophant might see through it and expose your identity in public, which would be bad."

"A name..." Wang Dong'er suddenly stopped, pretending to think for a moment before slowly saying, "How about... Dong Qianqiu? It gives off a cold, unapproachable vibe. At the same time, I'll keep a low profile and play the role of a background character. That big idiot Huo Yuhao will never figure out my identity!"

As she spoke, Wang Dong'er made a face at Zhu Ningyu, then walked to the stone table next to her and started eating fruit by herself.

Frozen, frozen for a thousand autumns?

Zhu Ningyu was speechless. How did they even bring up Bai Xiuxiu's alias? Huo Yuhao, who had been reborn... shouldn't know this name, right?

No, even if she knew, it wouldn't matter. In this Soul Master Competition... Wang Dong'er didn't plan to stand out too much. There were plenty of Soul Masters with the same name.

……

Meanwhile, in the top-floor office of the Sea God Pavilion.

Chen Yu looked at the Tang Clan's iron triangle in front of him with a troubled expression.

"Huo Yuhao, what's wrong with you? I, the young master of the Sea God Pavilion, actually want me to represent the Tang Sect in this Soul Master Competition? Did a donkey kick your head?"

Since obtaining the Sea God's inheritance, Chen Yu has never given Huo Yuhao a kind look. Don't even mention trying to build a good relationship with the Great God King Huo and squeezing out the rest of his value. Bah! He doesn't deserve it! Chen Yu doesn't want to become as foolish as Tang Ya, who couldn't even be taken even if she offered herself up.

"Sister Yu, my dear Sister Yu, please say yes to us."

Tang Ya quickly stepped forward and hugged Chen Yu's arm, twisting her body incessantly.

Chen Yu was so disgusted by Tang Ya that she almost vomited.

She's not interested in women, so who the hell is this little bitch disgusting?

After being with Mo Lian for so long, has her orientation changed?

"Let go of me!"

Chen Yu shoved Tang Ya aside with a look of disgust, then turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao. "Huo Yuhao, I am now the young master of the Sea God Pavilion. Even if I participate in the Soul Master Competition, I should do so under the name of Shrek Academy. I need you to give me a reason that can convince me."

Reason, justification?

Huo Yuhao was in a dilemma. He couldn't very well say that he wanted to cause trouble in the Soul Master Competition and needed Chen Yu, the young master of the Sea God Pavilion, to help share the pressure.

He was certain that once he spoke his mind, he would definitely get a beating.

What should we do?

Huo Yuhao's emotional intelligence was really not very high, and he couldn't think of any way to express it for the time being. Helpless, he could only look in Bei Bei's direction with a pleading look.

Beibei tentatively said, "Yu, Sister Yu, the Sun Moon Empire has never respected the teachings of our Sea God Pavilion. During this trip to Mingdu, the Sun Moon Empire will definitely do everything in its power to suppress the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect teams. They have the home advantage, and they are capable of using dirty tricks to make the Shrek Academy team and the Tang Sect team fight amongst themselves. If the two teams don't get a decent ranking, not only will the Sea God Pavilion lose face, but you will also lose face."

Beibei seemed to have said everything, yet also seemed to have said nothing at all. Her words were subtly mocking Chen Yu, implying that the Sea God Pavilion always took pride in its rankings in the Soul Master Competition, and that Chen Yu should stop acting high and mighty.

"That makes some sense. Alright, I agree. I'll fight alongside you and continue the glory of the Sea God Pavilion."

Chen Yu chuckled and said, "However, you are wrong about one thing. This Soul Master Competition will not be held in Mingdu, but at the junction of the three great empires of Tianhun, Douling, and Riyue. Due to the venue, this Soul Master Competition will no longer be divided into youth groups, nor will it be divided into team competitions and individual competitions. It will return to the competition system of the early years."

"What?" Huo Yuhao asked in surprise, "Senior Sister Chen Yu, why doesn't the Sun Moon Empire hold the Soul Master Competition in Mingdu? Don't they care about the revenue the Soul Master Competition brings them?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu stared intently at Huo Yuhao without saying a word.

Listen to what you're saying, Huo Yuhao. Is that even human language?

Sending Huo Yuhao to Mingdu to participate in the competition is no different from having a monkey guard the Peach Garden.

The higher-ups of the Sun Moon Empire wouldn't be foolish enough to let Huo Yuhao cause another Mingdu explosion... Wait, Mingdu explosion?

Chen Yu seemed to have thought of something, and the way he looked at Huo Yuhao changed.

Tang Ya and Bei Bei also looked pale instantly.

Tang Ya pouted, looking unhappy, and said, "Little Yuhao, your senior brother is so disloyal! He should have been a member of the Tang Clan, but in this life... not only did he not come to join you, he also betrayed you completely! Humph! After we conquer Mingdu, I'll make him burn like a lantern!"

Tang Ya stood with her hands on her hips, her anger evident in her expression.

"Brother Caitou... Hmph! What a pity. Originally... I was thinking of helping him out when I ascended to the God Realm, but now it seems... we can only be enemies, and the kind that fight to the death!"

Huo Yuhao sighed, as if saying goodbye to He Caitou's friendship.

Seeing this, Chen Yu cursed Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya hundreds of times in her mind. She had never seen such shameless people in her life!

Xu He is the cousin of Xu Tianran, the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. Blood is thicker than water. Why would he rather be a prince in the Sun Moon Empire and come here to be Huo Yuhao's dog?

The world should revolve around you, Huo Yuhao. Does anyone who doesn't offer you convenience have a death wish? (End of Chapter)
