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

Despite his thoughts, the drama had to continue. Chen Yu suppressed his anger and used official business as an excuse to kick the Tang Clan trio out of the office.

As the office door closed again, Chen Yu felt as if all her strength had been drained, and she slowly slumped into her office chair.

"Forget it, it's not worth getting angry with that kind of person. Why not use a free tool?"

Chen Yu lay on the table, slowly closed her eyes, and began to think about her future plans.

Given Huo Yuhao's troublesome personality, this Soul Master Competition is destined to be anything but peaceful, and who knows what kind of trouble he might cause.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu felt a surge of frustration and began pounding his fists, each the size of a sandbag, on the table in an attempt to vent his irritation.

She didn't want to become a beast like Xuanzi, a beast who bullies the weak, oppresses the small, and indiscriminately kills the innocent!

After venting for a while, Chen Yu straightened her clothes, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took out several still-warm lunch boxes from her storage bracelet and placed them on a tray. After doing all this, she carried the tray out of the office.

The scene shifts, and Chen Yu walks down the stairs and knocks on the door of the second room on the right side of the stairs.

dong dong dong...

"Come in, the door's unlocked."

Chen Yu reached out and pushed open the door, and an elderly woman with gray hair came into view.

Lin Huiqun glanced at the tray in front of Chen Yu, a mocking look immediately appearing on her face. "Yu girl, are you trying to curry favor with me? Are you afraid I'll tamper with your exam?"

"Given my status, I don't need to please anyone. The existence of the divine servant merely simplifies the process of the Nine Trials of the Sea God. Whether you are here or not makes no difference. I'm just here out of humanitarianism to show you some concern."

Chen Yu was simply seeking peace of mind and showing concern for this pitiful person whose life was being controlled by Tang San. Of course, as a victor, she wouldn't reveal her true feelings to a loser, much less show weakness to others.

The question is, how many years has Lin Huiqun lived, and how many years has Chen Yu lived? In just one glance, Lin Huiqun saw the trace of sorrow in Chen Yu's eyes.

The same people who are fallen from the end of the world, why do they know each other when they meet!

For some people, living is far more painful than dying!

Reshaping one's values ​​is far more despairing than reshaping one's bones!

I can only watch helplessly as I become the kind of person I hate!

"How's things going between you and Huo Yuhao? Have you 'done it' yet?"

Lin Huiqun picked up the lunchbox and happily ate the food Chen Yu had brought, while also making a few sarcastic remarks to the other party.

Chen Yu said irritably, "Huo Yuhao is a reincarnated person. He can't possibly be a member of the Sea God lineage. I... naturally won't tempt him with my body."

"Reborn?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Huiqun's eyes widened instantly, filled with astonishment. Was this kind of explosive news something she could hear?

Chen Yu made no attempt to hide anything and directly shared Huo Yuhao's past life experiences with Lin Huiqun. Since they were all enemies anyway, she didn't mind letting more people know Huo Yuhao's identity as a reincarnated person, thus cutting off Huo Yuhao's... faith in the Sea God Pavilion's higher-ups from the root.

"Oh, I see. I knew it. Huo Yuhao's extreme behavior doesn't seem like that of a young person. How could a teenager do something like that?"

For a moment, Lin Huiqun did indeed consider seeking help from Huo Dashenwang.

After thinking about it carefully, I think I should... forget it. That Huo the Great God King doesn't seem very reliable.

"I... agreed to your previous suggestion. Are you still willing to accept me, my... young lady?"

Lin Huiqun chose to yield to Chen Yu and accept her arrangement. She would preserve her soul during the Nine Trials of the Sea God and be resurrected after ascending to the God Realm, becoming Miss Chen's personal servant.

If a scoundrel like Huo Yuhao has the nerve to live, why should Lin Huiqun be willing to die?

Chen Yu pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and finally chose to accept Lin Huiqun. It wasn't that she pitied the other's situation, but simply that she wanted to find a sucker to help her share the burden.

"Alright, hurry up and eat. After you're done, come with me. All the members of this year's Shrek team are my people. I don't trust anyone else to lead them. You can temporarily act as the leader of the Shrek team."

Chen Yu said coldly, "I don't need you to do those errands. The main thing is to keep an eye on things and prevent the members of the Shrek team from being poisoned by Huo Yuhao's distorted and twisted ideas."

"I understand." Lin Huiqun nodded thoughtfully.

After finishing this simple lunch, Chen Yu took Lin Huiqun to a small training ground in the outer courtyard's Soul Fighting area.

Three men and four women are undergoing intensive training. What is called training is actually about enhancing their resilience. Under the strict discipline of the special training instructors, their physical strength increases slightly with each wound that heals.

This method of physical training... well... it seems a bit old-fashioned, but it's several times better than Shrek Academy's traditional weighted running training.

"Alright, everyone, stop training and have some free time to rest and recharge. We'll be heading to the border of the three great empires for the Soul Master Competition the day after tomorrow."

"Lu Qingshuang, come here for a moment, I need to talk to you."

As Chen Yuqing's cold voice rang out, a girl with long, straight black hair walked out from the crowd.

"Sister Yu, you were looking for me?"

Lu Qingshuang brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, stood straight in front of Chen Yu, and leaned forward slightly to show her respect.

Chen Yu whispered, "Shuang'er, how's the training going lately? Have those Tang Clan people come to bother you again?"

Harassment?

Upon hearing this, Lin Huiqun's expression was quite interesting. Just how hungry was Huo Yuhao? One Gu Yuhan wasn't enough for him, so he had to come out and eat wild food.

Clearly, Lin Huiqun was overthinking things; the harassment Chen Yu described was nothing like what she imagined.

Lu Qingshuang said with a strange expression, "Sister Yu, ever since you beat up Huo Yuhao last time, they haven't bothered us anymore. But... he's turned his attention to other students, asking everyone he meets if they want to join the Tang Clan. Huo Yuhao and the others have special status, so the head of the teaching department doesn't dare to interfere. They just keep complaining to me, and I'm getting annoyed to death."

Ah this...

Chen Yu was a little embarrassed. Lu Qingshuang had good talent, with a seven-colored dragon martial soul, and could control seven elemental attributes: wind, fire, water (ice), thunder, earth, light, and darkness. She planned to train him as the next Sea God Pavilion Master.

She couldn't possibly ignore the fact that her younger sister had been wronged. (End of Chapter)
