There was a moment when Ning Fengzhi even wondered what the situation would be like if Qian Renxue had recruited their Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect earlier, and the Spirit Empire had ultimately won.
It couldn’t possibly be worse than it is now!
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Ning Fengzhi made a decision.
He was determined to recruit these remnants of the Spirit Hall.
He had no problem living for another hundred years.
With a hundred years of time, he was confident that he could make these remnants of the Spirit Hall pledge their loyalty to their Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
If he could see another Guardian Douluo appear in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect before he died, he would be able to rest in peace and meet the ancestors of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
He was truly disheartened by his daughter’s estrangement.
Putting away the letter and the identity token, Ning Fengzhi began to calculate how to win over the remnants of the Elder Hall to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Besides that, he also wanted to gather some descendants of the Angel Legion.
As for whether it would backfire, Ning Fengzhi was relatively confident about such matters.
This secret letter was not written by Qian Renxue; naturally, it was the work of Qian Yu.
After obtaining her third spirit ring, Qian Renxue briefly awakened.
Who knows what madness possessed her, but she suddenly felt that she had failed the grandfathers of the Elder Hall, so she asked Qian Yu to help think of a way to take care of the descendants of the many elders in the Elder Hall.
Thus, this letter came to be.
After reading the contents of the letter and confirming his plans, Ning Fengzhi looked down at the Shrek Academy recruitment again and suddenly felt it was dull and uninteresting.
But since he had already come, leaving early would ultimately be inappropriate.
Ning Fengzhi simply decided to stay and watch the show.
And sure enough, he really did see quite a show.
Before the Shrek Academy opening ceremony, they had publicized that the Divine Master would attend the scene and would even stay at Shrek Academy to teach the Disciples.
Using the name and gimmick of the Divine Master, Shrek Academy had engaged in extensive publicity.
But Ning Fengzhi noticed that there were no arrangements made to receive the Divine Master, as if Shrek Academy had forgotten about the matter.
Was that really the case?
While the opening ceremony here was in full swing, within Heaven Dou City, the Divine Master Yu Xiaogang was holding an impromptu Spirit theory research conference, inviting various factions to attend.
With the current prestige of the Divine Master, even without prior preparation or advance invitations, once the message was sent out, various factions soon received the notification.
“Dean Flender, this is a gift my Duke asked me to prepare for you.
The Duke has urgent matters and truly cannot come.”
“Our Sect Master has sent the most Genius Disciple in the Sect to your academy, which is enough to show his sincerity.
If he were not in need of seclusion for a Breakthrough, he would definitely have come to congratulate you in person.”
“Hello Dean, a sudden change has occurred at my home, and I need to handle it immediately…”
The Shrek Academy opening ceremony had only been going on for half the time, and people kept finding various excuses to leave.
Some people left their subordinates behind while they hurriedly left under various pretexts.
The originally bustling conference instantly became much quieter.
Flender’s expression was incredibly ugly when he saw this scene.
Nowadays, there are not many people on this Douluo Continent who have such pulling power, and he happened to know one of them.
An old friend from the past, Yu Xiaogang.
This was clearly meant to embarrass him and make him bow his head.
Everything stemmed from the origin of that story that had been circulating back then.
It was originally a trivial matter; finding the source of the rumors and clarifying it would have sufficed.
If that didn’t work, with Yu Xiaogang’s current prestige, a few words would have solved it.
Unexpectedly, the situation intensified, spreading at a terrifying speed that was impossible to control, and in the process of spreading, it was inevitably adapted.
Thus, Yu Xiaogang became dissatisfied and demanded that Flender handle it.
Although Flender was a Spirit Douluo and had a Titled Douluo as a Disciple, he really didn’t have the ability to handle such matters.
The two of them developed a rift.
As luck would have it, just at this time, another rumor spread privately.
The Divine Master Yu Xiaogang is infertile.
It sounded absurd, and no one dared to say it openly, but the matter still reached Yu Xiaogang’s ears.
He pushed all the blame onto Flender, believing this was Flender’s frame-up.
Of course, Yu Xiaogang was not stupid enough to believe that Flender had done this; the reason he did so was that he wanted Flender to stay away from his wife, Liu Erlong.
As a man, having a brother by your side who is constantly coveting your wife, and whose strength is greater than yours, Yu Xiaogang never felt secure.
Subsequently, he asked Xue Beng to suppress this matter and not let these rumors spread.
It would have been fine not to suppress it, but once suppressed, the rumors spread even more widely.
If it were only this, their relationship of so many years would not have broken.
The most critical point was that Yu Xiaogang personally saw Flender pestering Liu Erlong.
No matter how much Flender and Liu Erlong explained, Yu Xiaogang simply didn’t believe them.
Then, a rift appeared between the brothers.
“Boss Flender, how can there be so many misunderstandings?
I think that Yu Xiaogang has just become puffed up with pride, feeling that his status is different from ours, and he wants to keep you under his thumb.”
Seeing the two of them making such a fuss over this, Zhao Wuji gave his own opinion from the side.
“I actually think that Yu Xiaogang’s move is about contention; he is fighting for the weight of the authority to teach a god.”
“He wants to cut ties with our Shrek Academy and monopolize this reputation and credit.”
Another teacher at Shrek Academy, Li Yusong, pondered for a moment and gave his own conclusion.
“Let’s just leave it at that for now.
Once Oscar and Rongrong also become gods, my old friend won’t be so worried anymore.”
“By then, everything will be able to return to how it was.”
Although Flender did not quite agree with Li Yusong’s words, this was very likely the truth.
He could understand.
Xiaogang had suffered too many grievances in the first half of his life.
At this current juncture, in order to prove himself, it was inevitable that he would feel a sense of urgency and crisis.
Even after experiencing so many things, Flender still didn’t feel that Xiaogang was wrong.
Zhao Wuji looked at Flender, his eyes very strange.
He always felt that Flender was too tolerant of Yu Xiaogang, just like the tolerance one has for a beloved.
If it weren’t for the fact that Yu Xiaogang was a man, and he knew that Flender deeply loved Liu Erlong, he would have suspected that the object of Flender’s affection was Yu Xiaogang.
Regardless, the Shrek Academy opening ceremony had finally been successfully held.
On the other side, Qian Yu led Hu Liena and their group back to the secret base in the Star Dou Great Forest.
They could be considered to have gained a full harvest and began to divide the spoils on the spot.
