Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 216 I, Ye Bodong, feel refreshed and invigorated.

"Alright, go back and recuperate. Don't leave any lasting effects," Mu En said with a smile, waving his hand earnestly.

"If you need any medicine or treasures to recover, just come and ask me."

"No need, I just used up a lot of mental energy. I'll just meditate for a day when I get back," Ye Qing said. Then he brought up another topic with Mu En, "Teacher, I might not stay at the academy anymore. I plan to travel across the continent and finish what I didn't get to do last time."

"Traveling... that's fine. With your current strength, there are only a handful of people on the continent who can threaten you. Those ninth-ring experts will think twice before attacking you, out of respect for Shrek Academy." After pondering for a while, Moon nodded.

As for the "thing that wasn't finished last time" that Ye Qing mentioned, Mu En probably already knew about it.

Ye Qing presented the immortal herb because he had mistakenly entered the Valley of Love and Destiny, which interrupted his travels in the Sun and Moon Empire. He was using the same excuse to justify his plans to travel again this time.

Mu En values ​​soul tools; in fact, he is the one in Shrek Academy who sees the farthest and understands the importance of soul tools the most.

Mu En naturally wouldn't object if his disciple wanted to learn more about soul tools.

In Mu En's view, it was a good thing that Ye Qing did not adhere to the prejudiced views of traditional soul masters towards soul tools, and he would only support him.

"However, you must remember that the Sun Moon Empire is, after all, our enemy. When operating within the Sun Moon Empire's territory, keep a low profile as much as possible and try not to make any big fuss."

……

Three days later, Ye Qing, having recovered to his peak condition and replenished the various resources in his soul tool, left Shrek Academy.

On the city wall, the tall Mu En watched Ye Qing's departing figure with a complex expression.

The wise old man eventually saw through something. Although Ye Qing hardly showed it, Mu En, who had watched him grow up, could still see Ye Qing's disappointment with Shrek Academy.

Ye Qing is intentionally or unintentionally distancing herself from Shrek.

After Moon recovered, he gradually understood the matter.

The fact that Mu En has recovered his peak combat power is naturally a big event in Shrek Academy. After all, for Shrek Academy, it means that they will once again have the protection of a Limit Douluo. Even though Xuanzi is still at level 98, Shrek Academy can be safe and sound under Mu En's protection.

It was only when many Shrek executives came to congratulate Moon on his recovery that Moon finally understood what had happened.

The most crucial point, of course, is the Sword of Judgment that Xianlin'er took from Ye Qing. Previously, Mu En was disheartened and, given his impending death, was too lazy to concern himself with Shrek Academy's troubles, which is why he remained unaware.

It was a magical herb, a top-tier soul tool, a soul bone for Ye Feng, and it even healed him.

Unlike those foolish old folks who thought that just because Ye Qing was born at Shrek Academy, he would always be a member of Shrek. Each and every one of these things showed that Ye Qing was repaying Shrek Academy for raising him.

More importantly... he has already paid it all back.

Not only did he repay the debt, but everything he returned far exceeded Shrek Academy's nurturing of him. Even Moon himself couldn't find any reason to blame Ye Qing, which was why he didn't question Ye Qing directly.

Asking questions will only expose everything, and then it will be too late to undo the damage.

Maintaining this ambiguous connection is fine.

If I hadn't given him that dragon pill, our master-disciple relationship would probably have come to an end.

Moon smiled.

Fortunately, Ye Qing accepted it.

By accepting this, he meant that he did not intend to completely sever his connection with Shrek Academy, and there was still room for reconciliation.

Mu En just couldn't understand what had caused Ye Qing to have the idea of ​​cutting ties with Shrek Academy.

"Sigh... Let Xiaoyao keep an eye on things a bit. Going to the Sun Moon Empire alone is too risky."

Of course, Mu En was wrong about one thing: accepting the Dragon Pill only meant that Ye Qing hadn't severed ties with him, not that he would continue to maintain contact with Shrek Academy. In Ye Qing's view, Mu En was Mu En, Ye Feng was Ye Feng, and Shrek Academy was Shrek Academy.

These three should not be confused.

……

After leaving Shrek Academy, Ye Qing felt as if all the burdens had been lifted from his shoulders, and he felt very relaxed and happy.

He shouldn't have done that.

If things were really as he originally intended, the most time-saving and effortless method would be to turn around and betray Shrek Academy after they had taken advantage of him. Anyway, this kind of thing is common in Douluo Continent, so one more time won't make a difference.

But in the end, he still couldn't do it.

Even if he were to transmigrate to another world, a world where he had no ties to anything, the education he had received would not allow him to do anything ungrateful.

There are some things that must be followed; these are the bottom lines of being a decent human being.

As for now?

That would certainly mean "the sky is high enough for birds to fly freely, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap freely."

Ye Qing, with his eight wings of holy light spread out, truly flew freely in the sky like a bird. He didn't rush to use the holy light to travel; instead, he used his moderate flight speed to explore the world.

"Qing, where are you planning to go now?" Looking at Ye Qing, who seemed relieved after being relieved of her burden, Bi Ji smiled faintly.

The longer Biji spent with Ye Qing, the more she respected him. She rarely stepped out of the Silver Dragon's Reverse Scale, but she silently watched Ye Qing's every move.

At least for now, Star Dou Great Forest has no reason to worry about losing all their investment in Ye Qing.

Ye Qing has repaid so much for just the small amount of help he received from Shrek Academy. The Star Dou Great Forest, which has invested even more than Shrek Academy, will only receive more help from Ye Qing in the future.

Thinking about it this way, Biji even had the idea of ​​urging Di Tian and the others to increase their investment.

"Do you want to go home?" Ye Qing didn't answer, but instead asked Bi Ji, "You must miss the Star Dou Great Forest after all these years away, right? I don't have anything urgent to do right now, so how about I accompany you back to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"Okay!" Brigitte's smile deepened, and her eyes softened.

"It's time to go back and take a look..."

Although the human world is wonderful, it is ultimately not as welcoming as the Star Dou Great Forest where she has lived for tens of thousands of years. Of course, Brigitte would be willing to go back and take a look.

"Let's go!" Ye Qing laughed, flapped his eight wings lightly, changed direction in the sky, and flew towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

A dazzling golden streak of light streaked across the sky, leaving a long trail behind it...
