Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 91 Xu Xiu's Guess!

After a long pause, Xu Xiaoyan timidly raised her hand, her voice tinged with doubt and hesitation, "But Grandpa, is Shrek Academy facing an unprecedented crisis?"

Wu Siduo subconsciously nodded slightly in agreement, a hint of the same question flashing in her eyes.

Shrek doesn't seem to be facing an unprecedented crisis at all right now.

Faced with Xu Xiaoyan's questioning, Xu Xiu confidently replied, "Of course!"

Xu Xiu flicked her sleeves, her voice deepening, her gaze sharp as if it could pierce through one's heart.

"I'm sure you've all heard about the Goddess of Light causing havoc at Shrek Academy!"

Su Mo and the other two nodded in agreement.

Thanks to the federal government's vigorous propaganda, everyone already knows about the incident where the Goddess of Light, Di Qiu'er, overthrew both the inner and outer academies of Shrek Academy.

But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with Shrek being in an unprecedented crisis.

Seeing Su Mo and the others' confusion, Xu Xiu calmly explained, "Throughout Shrek Academy's history, when have they never swept away all their opponents and dominated the entire continent?"

"But this time, Shrek was brazenly broken into his home and beaten senseless!"

Xu Xiu snorted coldly, her tone carrying an undeniable certainty, "If this isn't an unprecedented crisis, then what is it?"

"..."

As soon as Xu Xiu said this, the air froze, and the entire room seemed to be filled with an awkward silence.

Su Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, her expression unchanged, but she couldn't help but secretly complain in her heart.

"This can be considered an unprecedented crisis? Xu Xiu must be crazy to have his dream come true."

However, Su Mo did not expect that Di Qiu'er's impulsive challenge to Shrek Academy would inadvertently lure out the Xu and Dai families.

Of course, in some ways, Xu Xiu and his group were also quite outrageous.

Even though the starting point was wrong, things somehow turned out the way they should have.

Without their own interference, and with Tang Wulin, Tang San's own son, around, this generation of Shrek Seven Devils truly has the ability to change the entire landscape of Douluo Continent.

If the Xu and Dai families could get on Tang Wulin's good side, they might actually be able to launch a counterattack against the Sun Moon Federation.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan completely lost her composure. She put her hands on her hips and retorted irritably, "No, Grandpa, your reason is too far-fetched!"

"Although Shrek's undefeated streak was broken, it was a huge blow to their reputation."

"But it's still the strongest academy recognized across the entire continent, the sacred training ground for all soul masters. What unprecedented crisis could there be!"

Xu Xiaoyan simply couldn't understand how her usually wise grandfather could be so muddle-headed in such a matter, almost ruining Wu Siduo's life.

Wu Siduo nodded slightly to the side, her expression complex, with a hint of helplessness and awkwardness flashing in her eyes.

She never imagined that she would almost be betrothed to someone so casually because of such an uncertain speculation.

As complaints welled up in Wu Siduo's heart, another sudden thought quietly emerged in her mind.

"If I were to really marry Su Mo, it might not be such a bad idea."

"At least, he will respect my wishes."

The thought made Wu Siduo's heart tremble, and she subconsciously raised her eyes to secretly look at Su Mo.

Looking at Su Mo's tall and straight figure, a blush flashed across Wu Siduo's cool little face.

Su Mo stood there quietly, his eyes indifferent. Although he didn't say a single unnecessary word, he gave off an undeniable presence.

Wu Siduo's gaze lingered on Su Mo's face for a long time. Looking at that impeccably handsome face, an indescribable emotion suddenly welled up in her heart.

Su Mo seemed to have noticed Wu Siduo's gaze, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Wu Siduo lower her head like a frightened rabbit.

Su Mo was fully aware of what Wu Siduo was thinking at that moment, and he even deliberately guided her to have such thoughts.

While he genuinely believed those words, they were also partly intended to win over Wu Siduo.

There was no way around it; having spent so much time with Orochimaru, he would subconsciously use the brainwashing techniques Orochimaru used whenever he had the chance.

Orochimaru's brainwashing skills are just as exceptional as his scientific research talent.

Aside from falling into a trap with the Uchiha clan, I haven't failed yet.

But this is completely understandable, after all, the Uchiha are all secretly psychopaths.

Brainwashing a mentally ill person is impossible.

"Ahem, Xiao Yan, you guys don't understand!"

Faced with Xu Xiaoyan's questioning, Xu Xiu coughed twice and explained earnestly, "If a force develops to the level of Shrek Academy, then its position is already unshakeable."

"The federal government has been trying to weaken Shrek's influence for a thousand years, but what has been the result?"

"Shrek remains the sacred training ground that is praised by all and dreamed of by countless students."

"Unless someone can directly use force to wipe Shrek out of the Federation, no matter how big the crisis is, Shrek will still be Shrek."

"But I don't need to elaborate on how difficult it would be to eliminate Shrek Academy by force, do I?"

"The successive leaders of Shrek Academy are universally acknowledged as the number one person on the continent. To eliminate Shrek Academy by force, we would probably have to use the legendary level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell 'Eternal Heaven'."

"Do you think it's more likely that Shrek will be bombed by Eternal Heaven, or that my judgment is correct?"

Faced with Xu Xiu's reasoned analysis, not only Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo, but even Su Mo, who knew the inside story, fell silent.

If Su Mo hadn't known that the Holy Spirit Cult was actually plotting with the Spirit Tower and the Federal Government to use the Eternal Heaven to blow up Shrek Academy...

Perhaps he really had been fooled by Xu Xiu.

Seeing that Su Mo and the others remained silent, Xu Xiu pressed on while the iron was hot.

"So you need to understand that for Shrek to be publicly humiliated and lose face is the biggest crisis they can face."

Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo didn't say anything, but both subconsciously looked at Su Mo.

Seeing that Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Siduo were both looking at him, Su Mo smiled slightly and said calmly.

"So, when you betrothed Wu Siduo to me as your fiancée, it wasn't so you intended for us to become the Shrek Seven Devils, and then, through the deep bond between the Shrek Seven Devils, to get others to help the Star Luo Empire achieve its restoration plan?"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Su Mo had figured out her purpose, Xu Xiu admitted it without any attempt to hide it.

As everyone knows, there are few people on this continent whose feelings are deeper than those between the Shrek Seven Devils.

Although it's somewhat despicable, it's all for the sake of returning to the place where my ancestors lived for generations.

They had no other choice but to seize this last opportunity to restore the land their ancestors had conquered.

"Grandpa, this is despicable of you to think of making us use our own friends."

Xu Xiaoyan was the first to jump out and accuse.

Because she was well protected by her family, Xu Xiaoyan always believed that friendships should be pure and innocent, without any exchange of benefits.

If she really does follow her grandfather's arrangements to get into Shrek Academy and become one of the Shrek Seven Devils, it means she will become the kind of person she hates the most.
