Douluo Continent: The Legend of the Dragon King? No, the Legend of the Six Kings!

Facing the aggressive Leng Yaozhu in front of him, Yun Ming frowned slightly. In the past, women had always gone along with him and tried to please him. This was the first time he had faced someone who was provoking him like this, and he didn't know how to handle it.

He slowly began, "Young man, aren't you going a bit too far?"

"Excessive?" Leng Yaozhu stared at Yun Ming in front of her, completely disliking him, and retorted, "Then aren't you even more excessive than me for spreading rumors about others without providing any evidence?"

"You..." Cai Yue'er was so angry that she wanted to duel with Leng Yaozhu in front of her, but seeing the aura on her body, she had the idea but didn't dare to actually fight.

Yun Ming was momentarily speechless. He was torn between morality and his teammates. He was not only a genius but also highly valued morality. However, Cai Yuezi was his comrade; if he were to betray her now…

If I don't cherish my companions and this gets out, I won't be able to get into Shrek Academy when I'm asked about it during the exam.

He was suddenly caught in a dilemma and couldn't make a choice.

Leng Yaozhu stared at Yun Ming's expression, seemingly guessing something, and couldn't help but sneer, "How hypocritical."

Hearing Leng Yaozhu insult her beloved Ming-ge, Cai Yue'er finally couldn't take it anymore and stood up, saying, "You're not allowed to talk about Ming-ge like that!"

"Not hiding anymore?" Leng Yaozhu looked at Cai Yue'er, who stood up to defend Yun Ming. "You shameless woman, then tell me, were what you just said true, or not a lie!"

"You...you dare to insult me..."

This was the first time Cai Yue'er had been called a "slut." What had she done wrong?!

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, someone finally broke the deadlock. The person who came was none other than Elder Lin, the dean of the outer academy.

He heard someone say that students were arguing, so he came out of curiosity to check and also to find his good friend Lao Wang to see where he was.

Instead of being a proper examiner, where have you been?

"What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing the Dean of the Outer Courtyard approach, Yun Ming hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hello, Dean Lin, this is what happened."

After listening, Lin Zhidong fell silent. He already understood what had happened. "Come with me. We'll find out who's lying about what you're talking about in a moment."

Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er, who was standing there, was momentarily stunned. She looked up in alarm at Dean Lin, who was staring at her with calm eyes, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Dean, what about our exam?"

"Let's put the exam aside for now," Lin Zhidong waved his hand, his tone becoming more serious. "This kind of thing is too serious. It's no use for outsiders to guess. We have to ask the person involved to find out."

He was already full of curiosity, and besides, he had already seen clearly who was lying and who was hiding something.

He didn't care about any of these intricacies; his only thought at the moment was to extract some truth from Old Wang.

Hearing this, Cai Yue'er felt like the sky had fallen. She never expected things to develop like this. She had just said it casually to help Ming Ge vent his dissatisfaction.

She couldn't help but look at Yun Ming, her eyes full of pleading. Yun Ming gave her a reassuring look, knowing that Cai Yue'er had said those things for his sake.

As the eldest brother, he naturally had to protect her. When Cai Yue'er saw the reassuring look in Yun Ming's eyes, she immediately felt confident.

……

The Vice Dean's Office.

Wang Linzhi led Lin Xiu to his office, completely unaware that his departure with Wang Linzhi would cause a great commotion.

As soon as the office door opened, a boy who looked to be about fifteen years old hurriedly put away the blueprints in his hand, looked at the teacher who walked in, and said with an awkward smile, "Teacher, why are you back so soon?"

He remembered that his teacher was going to be a Shrek examiner today and would usually come back very late. Why did he come back halfway through?

Looking at his student's guilty expression, Wang Linzhi said with a hint of exasperation, "What, do you think I can't see you secretly playing with your mecha blueprints again just because I'm not back?"

"No, teacher, I just..."

"No need to explain. With your current state, even if the Body Sect were given to you in the future, you would still suffer."

Wang Linzhi walked to his desk and sat down, interrupting the boy's explanation. Then he looked at Lin Xiu with a kind smile and said, "Xiao Xiu, come and sit here."

A question mark appeared above the head of the boy standing to the side.

Why did the teacher change her attitude so quickly? And who is this boy who looks three years younger than me, that the teacher would treat me like this?

Lin Xiu obediently sat down, then looked at the boy who was staring blankly at him and asked, "Teacher, this must be Senior Brother Mu Ye, right?"

"Heh~ Yeah." Wang Linzhi glared at Mu Ye with a face full of dissatisfaction and said irritably, "This is your immature senior brother. All he knows is mecha. He might as well spend his life with mecha."

"Teacher, that's not right, the mecha..."

Makino was about to retort, but after listening to their conversation, he seemed to realize something and his gaze fell on Lin Xiu again. "Teacher, is he my junior brother?"

"Otherwise, why would I bring him back?"

Wang Linzhi's gaze towards Lin Xiu was filled with undisguised gentleness, as if he were gazing upon the most precious treasure in the world. That warmth formed a stark and glaring contrast with the disgust and aversion he showed towards Mu Ye.

Hearing this, Mu Ye, seeing the disdain in his teacher's eyes, wasn't angry at all. Instead, he excitedly asked, "Then, teacher, does that mean I'm not the first successor of the Body Sect?"

He was actually hesitant all along. He couldn't give up either the successor of the Body Sect or the mecha, and even wanted to have them. But he couldn't have both. He was not strong enough to do so.

Now that I have a junior brother, does that mean I can seriously study mecha?

"..." Wang Linzhi looked at Mu Ye's expectant eyes and said with a hint of disappointment, "Look at the look in your eyes. Luckily, the teacher found a successor, otherwise the ancestor of the Body Sect would definitely beat me to death."

"So, what does the teacher mean?"

"Xiao Xiu is naturally the future heir of the Body Sect." Facing Mu Ye's expectant gaze, Wang Linzhi finally revealed his thoughts. "However, you can research mechas, but you will become the vice sect leader in the future, assisting Xiao Xiu. Do you understand?"

This was Wang Linzhi's biggest concession. Mu Ye's personality was really not suitable to be the sect leader. Lin Xiu's scheming, talent, and personality perfectly met all the requirements for being the sect leader.

This is practically a manifestation of the ancestors of the Body Sect, sending such excellent disciples to their doorstep, and two of them at that.

Wang Linzhi didn't really hate Mu Ye; he just disliked that Mu Ye was now completely neglecting his own cultivation to study mechas, which was a waste of his talent. That was what angered him the most.

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye became immediately excited, looking at Lin Xiu with fervent eyes: "Junior brother, you're truly a lucky star!"

Lin Xiu, whose hands were being held by Makino, was speechless.
