Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 325 He Caitou: This is good news for the people of the Sun Moon Empire!

Shrek Academy, Tianyuan Island, Tianyuan Pavilion, Hall.

Upon returning to the academy, Zhu Ziyang and the elders immediately convened a meeting at Tianyuan Pavilion. Huo Yuhao, Fan Yu, and He Caitou also attended the meeting. The content of the meeting was very simple: to hear Fan Yu, Huo Yuhao, and others' findings and results of the exchange activity.

After Huo Yuhao was brought back by Yan Shaozhe ahead of time, he didn't have time to find Tang Ya, Bei Bei, or Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. Yan Shaozhe dragged him to Tianyuan Pavilion. He waited in front of Tianyuan Pavilion, looking at the golden ancient tree that was still as prosperous as ever. He was deeply moved and thought of Mu En, who treated him like family. He couldn't help but feel sad and knelt down and cried bitterly.

By the time Zhu Ziyang and the other members of Tianyuan Pavilion, along with Fan Yu and Cai Tou, arrived, he had already composed himself.

Inside the main hall of Tianyuan Pavilion, the Tianyuan Pavilion meeting officially began. Zhu Ziyang naturally sat in the head seat, while the other elders sat on either side. As for Huo Yuhao, Fan Yu, and He Caitou, they could only stand for the time being.

Looking at Zhu Ziyang sitting in the head seat, it was impossible for Huo Yuhao and the other two not to be surprised. Fan Yu, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, was able to control his expression well, but Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, the two young men, couldn't sit down. Huo Yuhao's mouth dropped open, and he asked, "Senior brother, you...?"

Huo Yuhao could tell that Zhu Ziyang's strength had improved rapidly, as evidenced by his solo confrontation with the Dragon Emperor Douluo not long ago. However, he hadn't expected that Zhu Ziyang would already be sitting in the position of the Pavilion Master of Tianyuan Pavilion. Was this really his senior brother? He was simply too amazing!

"Hehe, don't be surprised." Xuanzi said with a smile, "Ziyang has reached the Title Douluo realm. According to Elder Mu's last wishes, he has now succeeded as the Pavilion Master of Tianyuan Pavilion. You need to get used to his new identity."

"Yes!" Huo Yuhao and the other two straightened up, then respectfully bowed to Zhu Ziyang and said, "Greetings, Pavilion Master!"

"Alright, don't be so formal," Zhu Ziyang said with a smile, waving his hand. "Tell me about your experiences and gains at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Teacher Fan Yu, you go first."

"Yes!" Fan Yu was called upon and immediately stepped forward. He first bowed respectfully to Zhu Ziyang and the elders, and then began to recount his experiences and observations at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. He also shared his thoughts and ideas on the future development of the Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy. Zhu Ziyang and the elders asked him questions one by one, which he answered one by one. His answers satisfied Zhu Ziyang and the elders. The specific details will not be discussed here.

"Very good, Teacher Fanyu, you've done a great job." Zhu Ziyang said with a satisfied smile, "Senior Sister, please announce Tianyuan Pavilion's arrangements for Fanyu!"

"Hmm!" Xian Lin'er stood up and said to Fan Yu, "Fan Yu, after deliberation at the Tianyuan Pavilion meeting, it has been decided to appoint you as the Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, responsible for the development and expansion of the Soul Guidance Department, and to approve your entry into the Tianyuan Pavilion."

"Yes! Thank you for your guidance and support, elders and the academy!" Although she had already received the news beforehand, Fan Yu still couldn't contain her excitement and joy when she heard the appointment in person.

"Alright, Teacher Fanyu, you should go and rest now." Xianlin'er said with a smile as she looked at Fanyu, who was clearly excited.

Fan Yu left Tianyuan Pavilion, and it was Huo Yuhao's turn. Zhu Ziyang and the elders' eyes fell on him. Zhu Ziyang smiled and said, "Yuhao, it's your turn."

"Okay!" Huo Yuhao was a little dazed, but quickly recovered and began to use Fan Yu's words to describe his experiences and gains. However, he naturally did not need to consider the development plan of the academy's soul guidance department, but he had other things to do, such as the bamboo bar he had knocked. "These are resources that I obtained from Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall. Now I am handing them over to the academy."

Huo Yuhao took out a soul guide ring and handed it to Qian Duoduo, who was closest to him. Qian Duoduo took the ring and then handed it to Zhu Ziyang. Zhu Ziyang took the ring and glanced at it; everything inside the ring immediately came into his view.

"No wonder the Sun Moon Empire went to such lengths to intercept you. You're quite the businessman!" Zhu Ziyang chuckled, then tossed the ring lightly into Huo Yuhao's hand. "Thirty silver dragon scales are most useful to you, so there's no need to give them to the academy."

"Is this... alright?" Huo Yuhao hesitated, looking at Zhu Ziyang, and asked.

"There's nothing wrong with that," Zhu Ziyang said with a smile. "Reaching the ninth-level Soul Master level as soon as possible will be the best reward for the academy. Senior Sister, please announce the arrangements for Yuhao."

"Hmm!" Cai Meier nodded, stood up, and said to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, in view of your contributions to the Soul Guidance Department, the Tianyuan Pavilion meeting has decided to approve your entry into the Tianyuan Pavilion ahead of schedule."

"Me? Enter Tianyuan Pavilion?" Huo Yuhao was stunned by this sudden surprise and stared at Zhu Ziyang in disbelief, as if seeking confirmation from him.

"Haha, don't be surprised," Zhu Ziyang laughed. "This is the treatment you deserve, not only because of the more than a thousand blueprints you brought back to the academy, but also because of your talent. More importantly, you are the teacher's disciple."

"I...I understand!" Huo Yuhao's shock gradually subsided after hearing Zhu Ziyang's words, but his voice was still trembling as he spoke.

"Alright, I bet you're eager to see your friends now, so we won't keep you any longer," Zhu Ziyang said. "Go on, Tang Ya needs to talk to you."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's face showed an expression of longing and anticipation. He said to Zhu Ziyang and the elders, "Senior brother, elders, goodbye."

Huo Yuhao also left, leaving only He Caitou. He Caitou was somewhat uneasy, and Zhu Ziyang's next words almost made him collapse to the ground.

"Alright, your turn, Cai Tou." Zhu Ziyang looked at He Cai Tou with a meaningful smile and said, "Or perhaps, Xu He? Xu Tianhe?"

"I..." He Caitou's face turned pale, and he couldn't speak for a moment. His body was also trembling uncontrollably.

Zhu Ziyang and the elders couldn't help but laugh at He Caitou's reaction. Xian Lin'er stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, Ziyang, stop teasing Caitou. Caitou, don't be nervous or afraid. Fan Yu already reported your identity to the academy when you entered. If we really cared about your status as a prince of the Sun Moon Empire, we would have already taken you down. Why would we be exposing you here?"

"Is that so?" Upon hearing Xian Lin'er's words, He Caitou's complexion improved considerably, and his body stopped trembling. He had also come to a realization. Indeed, as Xian Lin'er had said, his identity could not be kept secret from the academy. The academy truly did not care about his status as a prince of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Haha, Caitou, sorry, we just wanted to tease you," Zhu Ziyang said with a smile. "The reason we're coming clean with you now is actually because we need your help."

"You need something from me?" He Caitou was stunned, then immediately said seriously, "What does the academy need? In any case, as long as it is something that I, He Caitou, can do, I will do it without hesitation! From the day the teacher adopted me, the academy has been my only home, so no matter what the academy needs me to do, I will do my best."

"There's no need to be so serious," Xuanzi said. "It's very simple. During your time studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, you should have heard of Princess Xu Tianxuan of the Sun Moon Empire, right?"

"Hmm! It's said to be a direct descendant of the Moon Pulse, a mascot that old scoundrel Xu Jiusong put forward to ease the conflict within the royal family," He Caitou said, his tone full of resentment.

"She's actually our senior sister from the inner courtyard," Xuanzi and Zhu Ziyang said after exchanging a glance.

"What? Senior Sister?" He Caitou stared wide-eyed and gaped as if struck by lightning. He had thought that Zhang Lexuan had the royal blood of the Sun Moon Empire, but he never thought that she would become a princess of the Sun Moon Empire. It seems that he is not the only member of the Sun Moon Empire royal family in the academy. He felt inexplicably happy.

"The reason we're telling you this is actually because..." Xuanzi said, explaining the academy's "Empress's Descent" plan to He Caitou and outlining the tasks he needed to complete in the final stage of the plan.

He Caitou agreed without hesitation. For him, the Sun Moon Empire had been an enemy ever since Xu Jiusong launched a coup, murdered his father and family, and no one in the Sun Moon Empire stopped him.

Now, he is asked to assist the academy in overthrowing the rule of the Xu Jiusong family and allowing the people of the Sun Moon Empire to be bathed in the purification of the academy's doctrines. What reason does he have to refuse?

In his view, this was a blessing for the people of the Sun and Moon Empire!
