章 630: Chapter 58 Xuan Zi's Madness, Mu En Arrives_2
```
Xuan Zi truly did not care whether others knew his inner thoughts.
After all, wasn't that the reality?
"The Sky Soul Royal Team is also off-limits!"
Wang Yan insisted, even stepping in front of Xuan Zi, "It's the same as before: this team has changed. If you do this, it will inevitably provoke the dissatisfaction of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Even if you consider the Heavenly Soul, Sky Soul, and the Xingluo as vassal states, can a vassal state not have its own emotions?"
"What if this causes a reduction or failure to provide the annual tribute that Shrek needs, think about the huge loss to Shrek."
Reducing the tribute?
Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Xuan Zi's expression immediately turned cold and stern.
"If they dare to do that, I would dare to wage war on them with the Sun-Moon Empire by tomorrow. Then you will see them on their knees, begging, offering even more resources and treasures for Shrek's protection."
Hiss...
As Xuan Zi's voice faded, the air in the room seemed to solidify.
Frightening silence.
Since Xuan Zi had spoken those words, they believed he would indeed act on them.
How to provoke the Sun-Moon Empire to start a war against the Heavenly Soul Empire?
It wasn't too difficult.
Just assassinate a few high-ranking military officers on the border of the Sun-Moon Empire and Heavenly Soul Empire.
If one wasn't enough, kill a few more until it stirs up the determination for the Sun-Moon Empire and Heavenly Soul Empire to officially declare war, right?
Looking over the current land of Soul Land, aside from Shrek, who else could defeat the Sun-Moon Empire?
Wang Yan: "..."
He really did not know what to say anymore.
It had to be said, the old drunkard was still very clear-minded indeed.
That's right.
Shrek Academy was like a leech on the three great empires, greedily sucking their nourishment to grow itself.
No matter how much the three great empires struggled, they simply could not escape from the palm of Shrek.
But...
If you had such a clever mind, had you paid a bit more attention to the students back then, protected Xiao Tao and the others, would things be as difficult as they are now?
In the end, Wang Yan's summary of Xuan Zi was: smart, but never used in the right way.
Review: It makes a little difference from having no brains, but not much.
"Alright, I've said all I needed to say, don't delay me from my business any longer."
Xuan Zi, showing his impatience, pushed Wang Yan aside, "Step aside."
With his physique as a level 98 Titled Douluo, and being a bit angry at that moment, Wang Yan, who was merely at the Soul King level, couldn't withstand it at all.
With a snap, Wang Yan's arm was broken outright.
"Ah..."
Wang Yan held his arm and cried out in pain.
Xuan Zi gave him a disdainful glance, "If you had moved away earlier, wouldn't everything be settled? Don't you know your own strength? You're asking for trouble."
Having said that, he withdrew his gaze and slammed the door behind him.
However.
The others did not hear his footsteps leaving, but instead, they heard Xuan Zi's surprised voice from outside:
"Mu, Elder Mu, why have you come?"
Elder Mu?
Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong, and the others felt very strange.
But they could be sure, a hint of fear was concealed in Xuan Zi's voice.
They couldn't help but wonder, who could make Xuan Zi, this fearless man, so afraid?
In the room, Beibei called out in surprise, "Grandfather!" and then hurriedly ran out into the corridor outside the room.
He immediately saw Xuan Zi confronting an elderly man with a hunched back.
Behind the elderly man was an old woman who was also not young in years.
Mu En merely nodded slightly upon seeing Beibei, then asked Xuan Zi, "Where are you going?"
"I..." Xuan Zi hesitated before saying, "Elder Mu, as you can see my wine gourd is empty, so I thought I'd go out and fill a pot of wine. You know that I only need two things: chicken legs and good wine."
As he spoke, a fond look appeared on his face.
"Hmph!"
Mu En snorted coldly, standing up a little straighter.
He even seemed taller than Xuan Zi, quite imposing from a higher position.
"Elder Mu, why are you so angry?"
"Your health isn't good, you shouldn't get angry," Xuan Zi appeared somewhat anxious.
Mu En snorted again, "Look at your conduct in Xingluo City, how can I not be angry?
You've ruined the millennia-old reputation of Shrek Academy!"
He had made the journey from Shrek City to Xingluo City in only one day, which showed just how eager he was.
```
However.
When he stepped into Xingluo City, his heart sank.
In the past, when people mentioned Shrek, their eyes would fill with admiration and longing.
Now...
What do people say about Shrek?
They say Shrek is deceitful, despicable, and utterly shameless, sinks to the lowest of the low.
No.
It's even worse than the lowest of the low.
It all sums up to one sentence: "Shrek is garbage, not fit for dogs to stay."
The reputation built over ten thousand years, if not completely destroyed overnight, has suffered significant damage.
What's crucial is that seeds have now been planted in people's hearts.
If something else were to happen, an even more terrifying wave of public opinion and pressure would erupt.
What made Mu En even angrier was that before he even arrived at the door, his powerful spiritual power had already spread out. He heard the argument between Xuan Zi and Wang Yan in the room, completely clear.
Xuan Zi's words almost made him spit out a mouthful of blood.
Too arrogant and despotic.
If Xuan Zi were allowed to continue like this, he would eventually push Shrek to the abyss.
Facing the furious Mu En, Xuan Zi could only swallow his anger, forcing a smile as he said, "Elder Mu, everything I've done, I've done it for the Academy. As the number one ranked academy in the whole Soul Land, and the most prestigious institution, if we can't even make it into the top four, wouldn't that make people laugh their heads off? Shrek's prestige will certainly take a huge hit."
"Is this the result you were hoping for?"
"Of course not..." Xuan Zi shook his head, then nodded, "But there were some unintended effects."
Could it be, there were hidden reasons behind Xuan Zi's actions?
Mu En's heart stirred, and he patiently asked another question, "What effects were unexpected for you?"
"People's reverence for Shrek may have decreased a bit, but it turned into greater fear, to the point of being scared stiff. Balancing each other out, isn't it like Shrek hasn't lost anything?"
Mu En: "..."
Who the hell taught you to do the math like this?
Is this something that can be balanced out?
He said expressionlessly to Xuan Zi, "Come, step outside with me for a moment."
After he finished speaking, he left Xuan Zi with only his back view.
Seeing this, Xuan Zi silently followed.
"Are you Elder Mu's grandchild?"
In the corridor, the old woman asked Beibei.
"Hmm, he is my grandfather."
"Elder Mu indeed has a commendable grandson. Let me introduce myself, I am the Vice Hall Master of the Star Luo Empire's Worshipping Palace."
"You, are you Medical Sage Predecessor?"
Beibei's eyes suddenly widened.
Medical Sage Douluo gave a slight nod, "Elder Mu told me that there is a young girl in your team who has some problems with her body, he asked me to take a look."
A young girl?
Xiao Tao Sister?
Beibei's face immediately showed a look of joy, "Predecessor, please follow me."
He quickly led Medical Sage Douluo to the room.
Seeing the somewhat disheveled room, Wang Yan grinding his teeth in pain, and the people around Wang Yan, Medical Sage Douluo frowned, "Let all the uninvolved people leave."
Upon hearing this, Beibei immediately gave a signal to everyone.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Wang Dong had to ask, "Beibei, who is this?"
"Vice Hall Master of the Star Luo Empire's Worshipping Palace, Medical Sage Predecessor..."
Hiss, it's that person?
Everyone immediately exited the room in a dejected manner.
Medical Sage Douluo pointed at Wang Yan, "Wait, you stay."
Wang Yan's gaze flickered, and he answered seriously, "Okay."
"Predecessor, she is the young girl my grandfather was talking about, her name is Ma Xiaotao."
At that moment, Beibei had also brought the dazed Ma Xiaotao from the bedroom to the living room.
Medical Sage Douluo frowned, "This child, to have suffered to such an extent..."
"Is it difficult to treat her?" Beibei asked nervously.
"Her situation is complicated, the problem lies at the spiritual level. A single word might guide her out, or perhaps even with all my efforts I might not be able to awaken her."
Medical Sage Douluo let out a sigh, "I'll do my best."
"Thank you, Predecessor."
Both Beibei and Wang Yan expressed their gratitude.
The Medical Sage Douluo did not respond, but his body burst forth with a strong green glow, forming a barrier that enveloped him and Ma Xiaotao.
Outside the barrier, Wang Yan and Beibei could no longer see the two clearly.
