No matter how Bei Bei explained, Tang Ya wouldn't listen.
She knew that Yan Shaozhe had already gone to find the three families surrounding Shrek Academy's entrance, just as he'd said, to explain everything to them and the onlookers who wanted to stir up trouble.
If she didn't leave Shrek City quickly and was discovered to be an Evil Soul Master, the consequences would be dire!
After this incident, Tang Ya understood completely: if she wanted revenge, if she didn't want to be trampled underfoot, if she wanted to control her own destiny, she needed to be strong enough!
Previously, Tang Ya had always told herself, even though she was eager for revenge, she must never become an Evil Soul Master, she couldn't bring shame to the Tang Sect because of her.
But now, Tang Ya had changed her mind.
As long as she could become stronger, as long as she could gain the power to take revenge, no matter what she became, she would embrace it! When she was strong enough, that would be the day Shrek Academy paid the price for their actions! To get rid of Bei Bei, to prevent him from following her, Tang Ya pretended to agree to meet him outside the city, but as soon as they parted ways, she rushed toward the Tang Sect's old headquarters, which had been seized by the Iron Blood Sect.
And at the same time, Bei Bei had already gone to Mu En, hoping his Great-Grandfather would protect Tang Ya.
When Mu En heard Yan Shaozhe say everything in front of Bei Bei, and even let Tang Ya go in the end, he felt his blood pressure suddenly spike. His composure, cultivated over a hundred years, was completely shattered.
What the hell kind of brain-dead operation was this?
Were the disciples he taught all like this?
Wasn't there a single reliable person in the entire Poseidon Pavilion?
Mu En was speechless for a moment, and even in the depths of his heart, he couldn't help but have the urge to slap Yan Shaozhe, that fool, to death.
He was wrong. He really shouldn't have entrusted such an important matter to Yan Shaozhe!
Bei Bei seemed to sense the turmoil in his Great-Grandfather's heart. With a thump, he knelt directly in front of him, tearfully pleading.
"Great-Grandfather, please spare Ya. You know, this matter has nothing to do with Ya from beginning to end!"
"And even if Ya's Martial Soul has mutated, she has never had the intention to harm others. She only uses the vitality of plants to enhance her strength. She is not an Evil Soul Master!"
Listening to Bei Bei's tearful complaints, Mu En's head was throbbing. Even he was at a loss for what to do. Pursuing Tang Ya wasn't the answer, but letting her go unchecked was another unstable factor. Who knew when she might cause problems for Shrek, just like Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire.
For a moment, the situation was a complete stalemate.
Mu En recalled some of his own experiences from his youth, which bore a slight resemblance to Bei Bei's. After a long silence, he finally sighed deeply and agreed to let Tang Ya go.
Although it differed greatly from his initial thoughts, if it could sever the relationship between Bei Bei and Tang Ya completely, it wouldn't be such a bad thing.
That way, Zhang Lexuan would still be Bei Bei's childhood sweetheart. Compared to Tang Ya, who had such poor talent and had even fallen to the path of an Evil Soul Master, the Tang Sect's sect master, Mu En clearly preferred Zhang Lexuan!
Overjoyed, Bei Bei didn't hesitate for a moment. After thanking Mu En, he immediately rushed towards the place he had arranged to meet Tang Ya.
Watching his back, Mu En murmured softly.
"I don't know if this decision is the right one."
"Everyone in the Poseidon Pavilion is like this. How can I possibly rest easy? Even if I have to endure, I'll hold on until the younger generation grows up."
When Bei Bei arrived at the agreed-upon location, he searched the entire area but found no trace of anyone having been there. This caused the usually composed Bei Bei to painfully close his eyes, his chest heaving as he tried to calm his agitated emotions.
However, this action was completely useless.
After a long while, Bei Bei suddenly opened his eyes and shouted towards the sky.
"Xiao Ya! Where exactly are you? What am I going to do without you?"
After Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, personally came forward to explain and clarify the situation, the storm that had just gathered seemed to suddenly dissipate.
Although he spoke convincingly, claiming that due to his oversight, he had failed to discover that Tang Ya, the Tang Sect's sect master, had secretly become an Evil Soul Master, which led to the deaths of those three students.
Moreover, Tang Ya had fled Shrek Academy the moment she realized she might be exposed.
But aside from a few fanatical Shrek Academy loyalists, not many people were willing to believe this perfunctory explanation.
After all, they hadn't seen Tang Ya with their own eyes. Letting an Evil Soul Master who had harmed others escape – did that make Shrek Academy useless?
Faced with such doubts, Yan Shaozhe stated that he would have Shrek's special anti-Evil Soul Master investigation team hunt down Tang Ya until she was killed, thus giving justice to the three families involved.
Although Xu Jiawei and the Emperor of the Heaven Soul Empire were disappointed with this outcome, they had to accept it in order to avoid exposing themselves and causing a rift with Shrek Academy, a force filled with top-tier experts.
Fortunately, their actions weren't completely in vain. At the very least, the people of the continent no longer blindly trusted Shrek as they once did.
If things continued like this, as long as they could prove Shrek's connection to Evil Soul Masters next time, Shrek's reputation would plummet to rock bottom, going from being revered by all to being reviled by all!
Just like the current Tang Sect!
To be honest, the Tang Sect, which had long been in decline, was hardly known to anyone anymore.
But after this incident, the name of the Tang Sect had reappeared, though its reputation was now completely tarnished.
It was a pity that the God Realm had lost contact with the Douluo Continent. Otherwise, one could only imagine the expression of the Tang Sect's founder upon seeing the state of the Tang Sect today.
This was the most accurate portrayal of Huo Yuhao's true feelings at the moment.
"Huo Yuhao, it seems the gift you gave to Shrek Academy was instead passed on to the Tang Sect, completely ruining your plan."
Gu Yue Na raised her beautiful eyebrows after hearing the news, teasing Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao didn't care at all, and said nonchalantly.
"It doesn't matter. I never intended to ruin Shrek's reputation in one go. After this, it won't be so easy for them to get away with things next time."
Actually, Huo Yuhao hadn't expected that those people from Shrek would completely sever ties with the Tang Sect.
The most crucial point was, if he remembered correctly, Tang Ya shouldn't have become an Evil Soul Master at this time because she felt hopeless about getting revenge, right?
According to Huo Yuhao's guess, those three students who died unexpectedly were most likely killed by the Fire Phoenix Saintess.
After all, he wasn't at Shrek Academy this time. If Ma Xiaotao went berserk due to the Evil Fire consuming her consciousness, just as in the original story, it wouldn't be surprising if someone died.
Yet, Shrek Academy claimed that Tang Ya, who had secretly become an Evil Soul Master, was responsible. Although it was a bit unexpected, it did fit Shrek Academy's style of doing things when he thought about it.
Shrek Academy could indeed use Tang Ya to cover up Ma Xiaotao's crimes for now, but what would they do when Ma Xiaotao went berserk in front of so many people during the Soul Master Tournament?
Thinking of that scene, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming Soul Master Tournament.
Since they were approaching the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire, the fun of traveling through the human world was gone. Bing Di returned to Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.
And as Huo Yuhao arrived at the border with Gu Yue Na and Xue Di, he suddenly noticed two exceptionally beautiful women with completely different auras were having a picnic ahead.
