Chapter 71 Running into the Shrek Bombing Plan

According to information she had known long ago, Zhenhua never married after she rejected his marriage proposal, and always missed her.

However, in order not to make Mu Chen feel uneasy, she almost completely cut off her contact with Zhen Hua, and usually Mu Chen and Zhen Hua, the fellow disciples, communicated with each other.

Now, hearing Zhenhua reject her without hesitation, it's likely that the news from long ago has become distorted.

Yuanbao'er said, seemingly speaking without thinking, or perhaps mocking herself, "Yes, I'm a withered flower, past my prime, no longer like I used to be."

"When my senior brother mastered his divine skills, he successfully advanced to the ranks of divine craftsmen. Over the years, he must have been surrounded by many beautiful women, so it's normal that he doesn't think much of me."

"But, I beg you, senior brother, for the sake of our past as fellow disciples, to help me and save Xi'er..."

Before she could finish her plea, Zhenhua abruptly interrupted her.

"Bao'er, what are you saying?! How can you say that? I, your senior brother, have always been devoted to you, until death do us part."

"But Mu Chen and I, as fellow disciples, are lifelong friends, family, and brothers."

"How could I let you abandon Mu Chen to take care of me? What kind of person do you take my senior brother for?"

"What's the difference between your daughter with Mu Chen and my own daughter?"

"I have no children, and Xi'er has an exceptional talent for forging. After I pass away, the wealth I have accumulated throughout my life will need to be taken over by Xi'er."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely use all available channels to search for her. Xi'er will definitely be alright..."

At this point, Zhenhua's voice suddenly paused on the other end of the soul-guided communicator, seemingly after exchanging a few words with the "person," before continuing:

"Xi'er, Xi'er will definitely return safely. I will write back to you in three days."

"Beep beep—"

After saying this, Zhenhua quickly hung up the soul communication device and turned to look at Ditian, who had already returned to the headquarters of the Forging Masters Association.

Di Tian was seen toying with a piece of freshly forged Heavenly Forged Metal while giving it a mocking look.

"What's wrong, Chairman Zhenhua?"

"I haven't touched a single hair on Yuanbao'er, whom you asked me to protect, or Aruheng, whom Sect Master Muye asked me to protect."

"Or perhaps, my existence has disrupted your reunion with your former lover, making you afraid to allow Yuanbao'er to come to the Blacksmith Association headquarters to comfort your loneliness?"

"Or is it that you really care about that niece named Mu Xi, the woman you love, and the child born from the union of your beloved relative and brother Mu Chen?"

"But in my opinion, neither is true."

"There's no need to elaborate on Yuanbao'er's matter, but you don't seem to care that much about Muxi, and Muxi doesn't seem to be that close to you either."

"The relationship between the uncle and niece is more like a deliberately maintained kinship."

"If you really care about Mu Xi, with her top-notch forging talent, how could you, as a master craftsman, not keep her by your side to teach her?"

"You may feel reluctant to part with Yuanbao'er, but you must harbor some resentment towards Mu Chen for taking Yuanbao'er away. Even if he is your beloved friend, family member, or brother, resentment is unavoidable."

"I also have two different feelings towards Mu Xi. First, I miss my old friend when I see the daughter of an old friend. Second, seeing her reminds me of myself when I failed to compete with Yuan Bao'er back then."

"You feel a sense of guilt for seeking revenge because of Mu Xi's misfortune, but you just don't dare to look into your own heart."

The original timeline's script and plot are sufficient to corroborate Di Tian's statement.

Zhenhua's desperate attempts to compete with Mu Chen for the genius disciple Tang Wulin may well have been influenced by his defeat in the Xiong Jing competition years ago.

"Stop talking!" Zhenhua shouted, immediately using his soul power to seal his ear acupoints, preventing any noise from entering.

It has to be said that Di Tian is really good at exploiting people's weaknesses.

His terror lies not only in his near-invincible strength, but also in his understanding of humanity.

Zhenhua's already exhausted spirit was completely crushed to the point where he could not recover.

With a flick of his wrist, Di Tian tossed the Heaven-Forged Metal that he had been playing with in his hand in front of Mu Ye.

"You see, I generally don't chat with people who are serious about their work."

Exhausted and disheartened, Zhenhua understood the unspoken meaning in Ditian's words.

Without offering any rebuttal, he focused entirely on the metal forging work.

He can't win a fight, he can't win an argument, and all his underhanded tactics have failed. What can he do?

His current friend and colleague, Makino, deeply understands this point.

Di Tian's psychological warfare tactics were all-pervasive; even the disciples of the Body Sect paid little attention to the ancestral land and natural barriers of the Body Sect.

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

An outsider, a soul beast, actually understands the Body Sect better than most of its disciples.

His spirit was completely broken, and he even lost the courage to talk to Di Tian. He could only numb himself by working on the mecha manufacturing work non-stop.

At the same time, there are quite a few people who are feeling helpless and confused.

The headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.

A colossal tower stands tall, becoming a local landmark.

In the office at the very top of the tower, the tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, Qian Gu Dong Feng, who stands at the pinnacle of power, influence, and combat strength on the continent, is pacing back and forth.

His expression was completely different from his usual high spirits; he showed no composure whatsoever, even in the face of a collapsing mountain, nor the calm and collected demeanor of a powerful leader.

In fact, given the situation he is facing now, anyone else might not have handled it better than the extremely shrewd Qian Gu Dongfeng.

Because he was somewhat worried that his plan to bomb Shrek Academy, in conjunction with the Holy Spirit Cult and some members of the Federal Congress, might have been discovered.

The source of this speculation is Xu Shengqun, one of the four Spirit Transmission Masters of the Spirit Transmission Tower who recently perished.

The fall of a mere spirit messenger was certainly not something that would cause him such anxiety and distress.

But the key issue lies in the manner of Xu Shengqun's demise; he was able to detect that Xu Shengqun was killed by a single sword strike.

The person possesses the ability to kill a Super Douluo-level three-word Douluo Armor Master with a single sword strike, indicating that they must have the cultivation level of a Limit Douluo.

Within the knowledge and information system of the Ancient East Wind and the Spirit Pagoda, only Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi, who are known as "the sentimental swordsman with a ruthless sword, seemingly heartless yet full of affection," possess such abilities.

Cao Dezhi guarded the Abyss Passage year-round. As the leader of the Blood God Legion, Blood One, his whereabouts were extremely easy to track, and he had never left the Blood God Legion.

Zang Xin, however, frequently travels around on behalf of the Tang Clan, his whereabouts are unpredictable, and he also has a clue that is right in front of Qian Gu Dong Feng.

Before his death, Xu Shengqun had a drink with Zang Xin at Zhenhua's place.

Such an obvious attempt to frame someone and shift blame is obvious with a little thought, and it's clear to everyone throughout history.

In the past, he would never have suspected that Zang Xin was behind it.
