Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot
#316 - Self-directed and self-acted, living in seclusion
After half an hour passed and finding no movement, Zhang Lexuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the bed.
“Senior, what happened? Are you injured?” Su Xing asked with concern.
Zhang Lexuan's emotions were somewhat low, and she slowly explained: “As you know, I am the Sea God Pavilion's successor, and the current successor is Elder Xuan.
The reason is that Elder Mu considered that I am still young, my cultivation is still shallow, and it is difficult to convince the public.
However, in the past year, I have obtained many opportunities outside, and now I am not far from level ninety-five, so Elder Mu intends to let me take over the position of Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion.
However, more than half of the elders in the pavilion still support Elder Xuan.”
“Just now, I was attacked by an elder.”
Su Xing revealed a solemn expression. The person who attacked Zhang Lexuan was likely from Elder Xuan's faction. Elder Xuan's cultivation was even as high as level ninety-eight Super Douluo, second only to Elder Mu in cultivation. This was troublesome.
This was because Su Xing didn't have a direct understanding of his own strength yet; otherwise, he wouldn't be in this mood.
Speaking of this, a trace of loneliness appeared on Zhang Lexuan's face. “The Sea God Pavilion won't miss one more of me, and it won't miss one less. Without me, the Sea God Pavilion will still be the number one force on the continent.”
“Senior, are you not planning to take revenge?”
Su Xing heard the implication in Zhang Lexuan's words.
Zhang Lexuan shook her head slightly and said, “The academy took me in and raised me. I can't do something ungrateful.
I don't want to compete with them anymore. I'm really tired. I want to find a place to live in seclusion.”
Speaking of this, Zhang Lexuan paused, turned her gaze to Su Xing, and asked, “Are you willing to come with me?”
Su Xing smiled. His face was unhealthy and pale because his injuries hadn't healed. His smile looked a little ugly.
“My life was saved by Senior. Anyway, I have nowhere else to go. As long as Senior doesn't mind me being a burden, I'll go wherever Senior goes.”
Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan revealed a strong smile.
… …
Time passed, and nearly a year had gone by in the blink of an eye.
Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, Sea God Island. A disheveled old man with messy hair and tattered clothes walked into the Sea God Pavilion. The disheveled old man came to a deck chair.
An old man in his twilight years was lying on the deck chair. Compared to a year ago, Mu En looked even older.
“Xuanzi, is there still no news about Lexuan girl?”
Mu En asked, his voice very low and almost inaudible.
Xuanzi shook his head slightly. It had been eight months since Zhang Lexuan left the academy, but there was still no news. The people sent out by Shrek had not found any information.
It was as if that person had evaporated from the world.
“Elder Mu, the people we arranged in Heavenly Court have sent back news.”
Xuanzi thought of the recent news and reported to Mu En.
“Oh? What did they say?”
Xuanzi said, “According to our people, that kid from Heavenly Court hasn't shown his face for almost a year. Some people say that kid has already met with misfortune.
Our people bribed a Deputy Palace Master. According to that Deputy Palace Master, no one has seen him since the battle with me.”
“Oh? You also think that little guy is in trouble?” Mu En asked faintly.
Xuanzi thought for a moment, nodded, and said, “It should be almost certain. Now, the internal strife in Heavenly Court is becoming more and more serious.
The struggle between the original Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School camp led by Ning Zhiyuan and that kid's direct line faction is intensifying.
If that kid is still around, there's no way he would sit idly by.”
“Oh? Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School? That's a bit interesting.”
Mu En suddenly raised his eyelids, and a gleam flashed in his cloudy eyes.
“Elder Mu, although Heavenly Court has internal strife during this period, its overall development is still very fast. Should we take this opportunity…”
Xuanzi didn't continue speaking but made a throat-cutting gesture.
Mu En narrowed his old eyes. Indeed, according to Heavenly Court's development speed, at the slowest, in five years, the number one force in the world in people's hearts would probably have nothing to do with Shrek.
Mu En had dedicated his life to Shrek, and he would never allow such a thing to happen.
After thinking about it, Mu En still planned to act cautiously and said to Xuanzi, “Don't rush. You can inform other forces of this news. Presumably, they have long been yearning for those things in Heavenly Court. However, be careful not to spread it widely to avoid alerting the enemy.
In addition, let our people try to contact that Ning Zhiyuan.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Hearing Elder Mu's instructions, Xuanzi revealed a look of great joy. It seemed that they were finally going to take action against Heavenly Court.
Xuanzi had always harbored resentment towards Huo Yuhao. In the last battle, that kid actually called in Poison Douluo and Snow Empress, two Ultimate Douluo experts, wanting to take this old man's life.
Fortunately, Elder Mu had foresight and left a clone on him in advance; otherwise, that little beast would have really succeeded that time.
What was even more hateful was that the little beast used that opportunity to step on this old man to rise to power, thus becoming famous throughout the world. It was truly a great humiliation.
“Elder Mu, what is this?”
While Xuanzi was thinking, he suddenly saw Mu En on the deck chair stand up, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
“Going to see two old friends.”
Mu En simply said a sentence, and then disappeared into the Sea God Pavilion.
Tianhun Empire, in a remote village in the southwest, a man wearing coarse cloth clothes and carrying a hoe pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.
“You're back. Sit down for a while. The food will be ready soon.”
In the kitchen, a woman wearing a square scarf and an apron greeted him.
These two people were Su Xing and Zhang Lexuan. After deciding to live in seclusion, Zhang Lexuan found this place.
This place is called Wanghun Village, which is said to be named after a Soul King who came out of here a hundred years ago.
The two expressed that they were speechless about this. This name was not down-to-earth, but down-to-the-underworld!
Although it is called Wanghun Village, in reality, no Soul Master has appeared in the village for nearly twenty years.
Now, the only girl in the village who has hope of becoming a Soul Master has only level nine Soul Power.
The age is twelve years old, only because the innate Soul Power was only level one when the Martial Soul was awakened.
But she is still considered relatively lucky. In recent years, no one has come here to awaken Martial Souls for children of the right age.
Therefore, Zhang Lexuan stayed here. She appeared to be a one-ring Soul Master and helped the children awaken their Martial Souls for free in the village, so the villagers welcomed the two very much.
After settling in Wanghun Village, the two also lived a rural life like ordinary villagers, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
