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

This private feud ended in such a dramatic way.

In terms of his mental journey, Huo Yuhao had a sudden evil thought, but when he took action, he suddenly regretted it and paid the price of serious injury to make up for his mistake... There is nothing wrong with that.

Ya Li and Cai Yue'er wouldn't think much of it. In their eyes, Huo Yuhao was just a little kid under fifteen years old, and whatever he did was understandable.

But... a question lingered in their minds: could the longsword that Ning Peiya picked up really be... a divine artifact?

If what Huo Yuhao said is true, how should they face Zheng Yiran and Ning Peiya?

"Yali, are you really not going to take a look at the longsword that Ning Peiya picked up? If it really is a divine artifact, we absolutely cannot let it fall into the hands of outsiders."

Cai Yue'er has always been petty and resentful that Zheng Yiran did not approve of her. With Huo Yuhao's testimony, she now openly whispered in Ya Li's ear.

Ya Li frowned and said, "The situation is different from before. The era of the Sea God Pavilion's rampant behavior is over. No matter what the reason, as long as we take action to seize the students' resources, the reputation of the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy will plummet to rock bottom, because a divine artifact is not worth doing this."

As for divine artifacts, they are nothing special to the Sea God Pavilion. The Golden Dragon Spear that Tang Wutong used is enshrined inside the Golden Ancient Tree.

Cai Yue'er advised, "Ya Li, I didn't say we were going to steal it. That longsword has already tempted Huo Yuhao to do something malicious. As the academy's administrators, we're just verifying the value of that longsword. That shouldn't cause any trouble, right?"

"Also, even if that longsword really is a divine artifact, there's no need for us to fight over it. Haven't you and Brother Ming always wanted a daughter? Coincidentally, Ning Peiya's talent is unparalleled in the world, shattering the Soul Master world's perception of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters. Not only has she created a series of tower fighting techniques for combat, but she also possesses physical skills that are unmatched by her peers. As for the limitations inherent in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul? Heh, with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, is that still a problem for us?"

After listening to Cai Yue'er's words, Ya Li rubbed her forehead, pondering the feasibility of the matter.

Ning Peiya's talent was indeed dazzling, completely breaking free from the fate of being a buff-type Soul Master and allowing her to continue the legacy of the Seven Treasures... no, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul as a powerful offensive Soul Master.

If she helps the Ning family resolve this crisis and takes the last descendant of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School as her adopted daughter, it would be a way of giving the Nine-Colored Goddess Ning Rongrong an explanation.

……

The scene shifts to Ning Peiya's double dormitory room.

Ya Li grabbed Ning Pei Ya's small hand and said in a gentle tone, "Xiao Ya, Ning Rongrong, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils, was born into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Your Ning family and the Sea God Pavilion are of the same lineage. Due to the development of the times, something happened that no one wanted to see. I, Ya Li, also feel very sorry."

"Now, through your own efforts, you have created a brand new path for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, completely escaping the fate of being eliminated by the times. We see this and are overjoyed..."

"Little girl, would you... be my and Ming-ge's daughter?"

Ning Peiya: ? ? ? ? ?

What, what's going on here?

Who would just come up and immediately claim their daughter as their daughter?

"Your Holiness, are you trying to claim ownership of the longsword I just acquired through this method?"

Ning Peiya slowly raised her head, gazing at the "most beautiful woman in mainland China" with a scrutinizing look.

"Xiaoya, you've misunderstood. What parent would ask for their child's treasures? We will only do everything in our power to shield you from the storms of life."

As she spoke, Ya Li could no longer control her emotions and hugged Ning Pei Ya tightly.

"Your Majesty, you..."

Call me Mother.

"Mother, Mother."

Ning Peiya did not refuse, but readily accepted these adoptive parents.

Of course, she did not tell Yali that the longsword had become her second martial soul.

She knew very well that Yali would take her in as her goddaughter entirely because of her bloodline, the talent she had shown, and even that magical longsword, not because of Ning Peiya herself.

Even if Yunming and Yali treat her like their own daughter, it cannot change her determination to end the era of battle armor.

She wants to demand an explanation from the heavens for those amplification-type Soul Masters who were forced to withdraw from the stage of history!

……

Ning Peiya from Class 1, Grade 1, disappeared for three whole days. Zheng Yiran, as Ning Peiya's "best friend," went to the homeroom teacher Shen Yi more than once to inquire about Ning Peiya's whereabouts, but Shen Yi always brushed her off.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

On the morning of the fourth day, Ning Peiya not only returned safely, but her martial soul also evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. In front of the whole class, she announced that she had changed her surname to Yun.

Upon learning this news, Huo Yuhao immediately returned to his single dormitory. Just as the door closed, he suddenly rushed to his bed and frantically pounded on the pillows.

"Damn it! Absolutely damn it! My flawless plan... in the end, it all benefited Ning Peiya!"

Huo Yuhao almost ground his back teeth to powder.

His original plan was to... make Yali realize the value of that longsword, and given the Sea God Pavilion's usual practices, they would most likely force her to buy it.

As long as the artifact is stored on Seagod Island, he, the Great God King Huo, can take it for himself at any time. Even if the Seagod Pavilion notices that something is missing, they will not suspect him.

But he never expected that the Yun family could be so shameless. As long as Ning Peiya was on the Yun family genealogy, no matter what treasures she had, they would be the Yun family's private property, and the Sea God Pavilion had no right to make her hand them over!

After venting his emotions, Huo Yuhao slumped to the ground, his mind racing with thoughts of his future plans.

It's just about acknowledging a pair of adoptive parents. If Ning Peiya can do it, Huo Yuhao can do it too.

But... there are so many talented students in Shrek Academy, what would he need to do to gain the favor of the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li?

Huo Yuhao felt a headache coming on. If he had known this would happen, he would have preferred to have Tianmeng Ice Silkworm knock out Ning Peiya and Zheng Yiran, and then give the artifact directly to Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li after obtaining it!

But... no buts. At that time, he didn't expect things to develop to this point.

What should we do next?
