Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

A series of footsteps approached.

"Brother Emperor!"

Emperor Douling subconsciously raised his head, and Xue Lingxun's figure came into view. He immediately smiled and said, "Lingxun, what brings you here?"

“Brother, I want to go to Shrek Academy. To this day, there has been no news of San Shi. I thought I would like to go and see where San Shi goes to school, and also pack up the clothes he left in the academy dormitory.” Xue Lingxun’s eyes were red as she spoke, looking extremely sad.

She did not tell her elder brother the content of the telepathic message, otherwise, given his personality, he would never have allowed her to go to Shrek Academy for his own safety.

To achieve her goal, she had to be able to act; otherwise, she would never have been able to elope with someone from the heavily guarded Lingdou City.

Seeing his sister's expression, Emperor Douling sighed and said, "Alright, I will arrange some people to escort you to Shrek Academy."

Lingxun, don't worry too much. Shi'er is a lucky person, and heaven will protect him. He's only missing, not definitely dead. One day, we will find Shi'er.

He disliked Xue Lingxun's husband, after all, it was the man who eloped with his sister.

However, he still took good care of Xu Sanshi.

After all, Xu Sanshi was Ling Xun's child.

Soon, Emperor Douling arranged for a group of people to protect Xue Lingxun on her way to Shrek Academy.

Of course, he also arranged for some people to contact Shrek Academy and inform them that Xue Lingxun was going to Shrek Academy.

No matter what, Xue Lingxun is a princess, and when she goes out, she represents the face of the Douling Empire. Naturally, Shrek Academy should be prepared to welcome her and give her the respect she deserves.

........

a few days later.

Shrek Academy.

The sky was high and the clouds were light; the wind was gentle and the sun was shining.

A huge red banner was unfurled at the entrance of the academy, bearing the words "Warmly welcome Princess Xue Lingxun of the Douling Empire to our school."

The large, gilded characters were written with bold, flowing strokes, deeply penetrating the text. They were written by Shi Xing, the city lord of Shrek City, whose calligraphy skills were superb and whose cultivation had reached the level of a 94th-level Title Douluo.

Even in an auction house, this is considered a piece of calligraphy and could fetch a considerable price. After all, Shi Xing, as the city lord of Shrek City, is responsible for the city's defense and holds a high position of power.

If you want to ask this city lord to do something, you can't just give him gold soul coins. Doing so would not only be unrefined, but also violate the rules of Shrek Academy.

However, purchasing a piece of calligraphy by the city lord, which is quite expensive, makes one a refined person and naturally allows one to become an honored guest at the city lord's mansion, meeting with the city lord to discuss matters. The benefits of this are not for outsiders to know.

Moreover, rumors circulated in the city that because the Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion elders had suffered heavy losses, this City Lord had already been promoted to a prospective elder.

Given the current dire situation, this city lord might become a formal elder, at which point his power will rise to another level.

Therefore, the calligraphy by this city lord in the recent auctions has fetched a price that is more than double what it usually is.

Admittedly, Shrek Academy's power is not what it used to be, but even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. Anyone who wants to do business in Shrek City can still gain some benefits by currying favor with the current city lord in this way.

"They even used the word 'present,' it seems the academy attaches great importance to this Princess Xue Lingxun." A student passing by the school gate glanced at the banner and remarked unconsciously.

Wang Yan remained silent, inwardly thinking that Xue Lingxun was neither an elder, nor a superior, nor a senior to Shrek Academy.

However, as a princess of the Douling Empire, Xue Lingxun was considered a distinguished guest, so the word "arrival" could naturally be used.

Suddenly, Wang Yan felt someone nudge him with their elbow. He turned around and saw that it was Wang Dong.

Wang Dong asked, "Teacher Wang, when will we be able to see Princess Xue Lingxun? I heard she's Senior Sanshi's mother. Now that Senior Sanshi has disappeared, could it be that she's come to the academy to demand an explanation?"

“This… it’s not impossible.” Wang Yan sighed. “Xu Sanshi’s disappearance is too inexplicable. The academy also helped search for him, but to no avail. The academy also bears responsibility for this. If Xue Lingxun comes to question us, it would be understandable.”

Wang Dong nodded.

Suddenly, Wang Dong pointed into the distance and said, "Teacher Wang, look, City Lord Shi is coming with a group of people. That should be the visiting delegation from the Douling Empire. I can even see the Douling Empire's flag."

Wang Yan looked in the direction Wang Dong was pointing.

Chapter 712 Finally Meeting San Shi

The middle-aged man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was leading a group of people as they descended from the sky and soon landed on the ground.

He walked with a smile on his face, talking to the middle-aged woman beside him.

The middle-aged beauty was dressed in a luxurious robe. Her skin was fair, and her delicate face had a touch of mature charm. Her bright, beautiful eyes seemed to speak volumes, containing a thousand sorrows.

Behind the beautiful woman was a figure in a white robe, following closely behind.

The three were surrounded by a group of fully armed soldiers who exuded a strong aura of killing intent.

As these armored warriors walked, they cautiously observed their surroundings, and the flying soul tools on their backs were slowly retracting.

Among the armored soldiers, there was an extremely tall man carrying a banner of the Douling Empire. The banner fluttered in the wind, making it extremely eye-catching.

“It must be a delegation from the Douling Empire. The one next to City Lord Shi should be Princess Xue Lingxun.” Wang Yan nodded slightly.

"Senior San Shi's mother is so beautiful!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.

Wang Dong glanced at Xiao Xiao, intending to tease her, and deliberately whispered, "Yesterday someone was praising my looks, and today they're praising Princess Xue Lingxun. Sure enough, the new is better than the old. Sigh, a woman's words are deceiving!"

Xiao Xiao, who is now extremely familiar with Wang Dong, naturally knows that Wang Dong is joking.

She turned to look at Wang Dong, patted him on the shoulder, and said helplessly, "Wang Dong, in my heart, you are still the most beautiful. Although Princess Xue Lingxun is beautiful, she still can't compare to you."

As she spoke, Wang Dong's handsome face was reflected in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel regretful. If only Wang Dong were a man, but alas... she could only be Wang Dong's sister.

Wang Dong accepted Xiao Xiao's praise without hesitation; she was quite confident in her appearance.

"Alright, stop fooling around. Now let's focus on welcoming Princess Xue Lingxun," Wang Yan said in a low voice.

A moment later, led by Shi Xing, Xue Lingxun and her group slowly entered Shrek Academy amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the students. After entering the academy, there were banners everywhere with messages such as "Shrek welcomes you" and "I missed you at Shrek."

Of course, Shi Xing could have simply taken Xue Lingxun and her group and flown into Shrek Academy.

However, considering that Xue Lingxun was representing the Douling Royal Family at Shrek Academy, and that royal families are generally particular about pomp and ceremony, Shrek Academy naturally had to give her due respect in terms of etiquette, so that Xue Lingxun and her party would feel at home.

Shi Xing led Xue Lingxun and her group on a tour of the academy. After some time, the delegation visited the shore of the Sea God Lake.

Xue Lingxun looked at Shi Xing and asked, "City Lord Shi, may I meet with Elder Mu to discuss some matters?"

Since he wanted to see if his son was actually at Shrek Academy, he naturally had to negotiate with Mu En, the strongest student at Shrek.

Shi Xing was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately said, "Princess Lingxun, please wait a moment. I will go to see Elder Mu now. If Elder Mu agrees, you can naturally meet with him to discuss some matters."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, City Lord Shi!"

Xue Lingxun said.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Xing flew to the Sea God Pavilion. A moment later, he returned and said, "Princess Lingxun, Elder Mu has agreed to meet with you. Please come with me to the Sea God Pavilion."

"Okay!" Xue Lingxun nodded and agreed.

Soon, led by Shi Xing, she arrived at the Sea God Pavilion. Of course, Zhao Gongfeng, not wanting to leave her alone, also went along.

The Sea God Pavilion was filled with a bright aura. Xue Lingxun soon saw the gray-robed old man lying on a chair. It wasn't that Mu En didn't want to get up to greet the guests, but his physical condition was too poor. He could hardly straighten his back, so he lay down on the chair to rest and relieve his own pressure.

The old man smiled and introduced himself: "Hello, Princess Lingxun, I am Mu En."

"Elder Mu!" Xue Lingxun immediately stepped forward and said in a pleading tone, "I would like to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing this, Mu En was somewhat surprised. After a moment's thought, he said, "Is it about San Shi?"

"Yes!" Xue Lingxun nodded heavily.

Mu En sighed: "San Shi is an excellent student. Since he went missing, the academy has been arranging for people to search for him. If there is any news about San Shi, the academy will definitely notify you immediately. If we find San Shi, we will also try to bring him back to the academy."

Having been a father himself, he could naturally understand Xue Lingxun's concern for Xu Sanshi's safety as a mother.

Xue Lingxun said with red eyes, "Elder Mu, in fact, I want you to take me to the Shrek Dungeon. Before coming to Shrek Academy, I received a message that Elder Xuan of your academy had captured Shi'er and locked him in the Shrek Dungeon. I came to Shrek Academy mainly to confirm the truth of this matter."

Upon hearing this, Mu En frowned, feeling that the information Xue Lingxun had received was far too outrageous.

He subconsciously said, "Princess Lingxun, although Xuanzi has done many foolish things, based on my understanding of him, he has no reason to arrest Xu Sanshi and lock him in Shrek Dungeon."

Shi Xing, standing to the side, said helplessly, "Princess Lingxun, where did you get such outrageous information? I can guarantee that Elder Xuan would never do something so outrageous."

Only Zhao, the nearby retainer, was secretly alarmed, wondering if the princess had received this information from that powerful figure who was suspected to be a Super Douluo? Wasn't that absurd?

However, he couldn't express his thoughts to outsiders and could only remain silent.

Xue Lingxun persisted in her opinion: "Elder Mu, I want to see the Shrek Dungeon!"

After a moment of silence, Moon finally agreed: "Alright, since Princess Lingxun insists, I will take you to see the Shrek Dungeon now."

.......

The group stormed into the dark and damp Shrek dungeon.

Although Mu En was in poor health, he was still a Limit Douluo, so he shouldn't be unable to even enter the dungeon. Soon, they arrived at Xu Sanshi's cell, since they found that this was the only place with prisoners.

At this moment, Xu Sanshi looked at everyone excitedly: "Old Mu, Mother, City Lord Shi, Elder Zhao... you've finally come to save me!"

When he heard the commotion outside, he immediately got up from the grass and went to the cell gate to see what was going on. To his surprise, he saw these people standing in front of his cell.

This undoubtedly excited Xu Sanshi greatly, since it meant he could finally leave this hellish place.

"Sanshi, you've suffered so much!" Xue Lingxun looked at the man in front of her, so dirty that he was unrecognizable, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Chapter 713 Shameful things in the hospital should not be made public.

If it weren't for the familiar voice, she wouldn't have been able to recognize the disheveled Xu Sanshi at all.

Moreover, Xu Sanshi had shackles on his hands and feet, making him look like a prisoner.

From childhood to adulthood, when has Shi'er ever suffered such injustice?

Thinking of this, tears welled up in her eyes and eventually streamed down her face, leaving tear tracks.

"Mom, please let me out!" Xu Sanshi said impatiently.

He really didn't want to stay in the dungeon any longer.

Xue Lingxun took a deep breath and looked at Mu En with red eyes.

She wasn't out of her mind; she knew that the strongest person here was Mu En. To show respect, she naturally needed Mu En's consent before she could take any action.

At this moment, Moon's face was extremely ugly, as if covered by a thick dark cloud.

He hadn't expected to actually find Xu Sanshi in the Shrek Dungeon. Judging from his current appearance, he must have suffered a lot in the dungeon.

If Xue Lingxun sees this and doesn't handle it properly, it will undoubtedly affect the relationship between the Douling Empire and Shrek Academy.
