Chapter 402: The Celebration

Chapter 402: The Celebration

Within the Dragon Confinement Realm, Lu Wu stretched out his hand, and a clump of golden blood dripped down. This blood, which should have had no vitality, seemed to come to life. Golden essence flowed within the blood, and the aura of the dragon emanated from it, forming a faint, ethereal image of a divine dragon that enveloped the golden blood.

The golden blood then locked onto its target and swam towards the Baby Dragon, which was bound to the Dragon Restraint Pillar below the realm. It quickly reached the Baby Dragon.

The Baby Dragon gazed at the clump of golden blood before it, knowing that within it lay the power to make it stronger. However, it couldn't help but feel unhappy.

After all, the place it currently resided in was terrifying.

Compared to the golden blood, Lu Wu entering to rescue it would have made it feel much safer.

Moreover, Lu Wu had just been outside, and all he needed to do was come in to save it. Yet, he didn't, which was a significant blow to the Baby Dragon.

Someone with the Zhou surname had once said that human emotions are difficult to understand, and the same goes for the emotions of a dragon.

The Baby Dragon didn't know what Lu Wu had encountered when he tried to enter or the pain he endured when extracting the golden blood.

Regardless, it was unhappy.

It felt abandoned by Lu Wu.

Angry, the little dragon swallowed the clump of golden blood. Instantly, golden light burst from its body, illuminating the eerie and dark Dragon Confinement Realm.

...

Meanwhile, outside the realm, Lu Wu's attention turned away from the Dragon Confinement Realm after placing the golden blood and withdrawing his hand. He was now focused on a message he had just received.

It was from Jiang Yuesheng, who had sent it through Little Skull, informing Lu Wu about the situation Dudu was about to face.

Lu Wu's expression turned grim as he grasped the nature of Dudu's predicament. He also realized Dudu's intention behind giving him the Dragon Confinement Realm Token.

Her true purpose was not to help him enhance his strength to get through her crisis but to keep him away.

The moment the Dragon Confinement Realm opened, Lu Wu sensed that once he entered, it would be almost impossible for him to leave for a while.

"Looks like this girl has gone bad!" Lu Wu felt a surge of irritation.

His Dudu would never deceive him.

So, what should he do if Dudu misbehaved? "What else can I do? I'll have to teach her a lesson!"

Wiping the blood from his mouth, Lu Wu clenched his fist, ready to rush back to Fucheng.

Just as Lu Wu was about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared before him, stopping him in his tracks. The figure waved at Lu Wu, saying, "Hey, long time no see."

Lu Wu narrowed his eyes at the unexpected woman who had appeared...

...

Jiangnan, Fucheng.

Time passed swiftly amidst various undercurrents.

Two days flew by, and the celebration at Jiangnan University commenced as scheduled.

On this day, the 10,000-acre campus welcomed various influential groups that had gathered in Fucheng recently.

Representatives from numerous universities, ready to join the University Alliance, congratulated Jiangnan University on the completion of its new campus.

Business groups with various interests in Jiangnan University,

Summoner and Cultivator teams affiliated with Jiangnan University.

The first three groups were clearly biased towards Jiangnan University, and they had arrived early. However, upon closer inspection, many individuals from these groups had somber expressions, as if they had received some unpleasant news.

They seemed preoccupied with their concerns.

In stark contrast were the Education Bureau members, who were openly displaying their intentions to stir up trouble. They appeared confident and triumphant, as if victory was already within their grasp.

On the other side, inside Jiangnan University, most of the staff were diligently working.

They were busy hosting guests, maintaining order, and engaging in various discussions with visitors.

Everyone was doing their utmost to ensure the success of this celebration, filled with pride and enthusiasm.

At the same moment, another group gathered in a different location, discussing their next course of action.

Like the others, they were doing their best, believing that their actions were the right thing to do.

At this time, various corners of the Jiangnan University campus were filled with all sorts of people.

A series of scenes unfolded, creating a stark contrast in the human drama.

Above this human drama, Dudu sat calmly in the Student Council President's Office.

She gazed out the window, overlooking the campus, her exquisite face exuding tranquility.

This tranquility was not born of ignorance.

In fact, she was well aware of what was happening in every corner of the school.

She even knew how many things were happening, and she had the ability to prevent many of them.

But she did nothing.

Not because she couldn't, but because she didn't want to.

What she wanted was to let them do as they pleased.

If you want to clear out the rats, you have to let them jump, right?

After an unknown amount of time, as Dudu stared out the window in a daze, the office door was knocked on, and a pair of long legs walked in.

If Li Wu were here right now, he would surely recognize the person who entered the office; it was none other than the Humming Monster who had signed a decades-long contract with him.

At this moment, she had become Dudu's assistant, specifically tasked with handling miscellaneous tasks for Dudu.

"President, it's about time for you to make your appearance!"

"Hmm!"

Dudu nodded, stood up from her seat, and glanced at the photo of herself and Li Wu on her desk one last time before leaving the office.

As Dudu walked out of the office, the day's celebration officially came to an end, and for another group of people, a new beginning was marked.

...

Jiangnan University's Grand Hall.

"Next, we invite Vice President Pang Dudu to deliver her speech."

As the beautiful host announced, 99% of the people in the Grand Hall straightened their postures.

Everyone knew that a grand play was about to unfold.

Some were nervous, some were anxious, and some were worried...

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the sound of high heels clicking on the wooden floor echoed.

Following this, Dudu, standing at 1.8 meters tall and wearing a tailored suit and high heels, strode onto the stage from backstage.

Dudu was very formal as she took the stage.

She took the microphone from the host but did not deliver a shocking speech. Instead, she began to read from a speech written by the Humming Monster.

"I am delighted that everyone could attend the celebration of Jiangnan University's new campus..."

Dudu's speech was formal.

But from the moment she started speaking, an indescribable atmosphere began to brew among the audience.

Pairs of eyes, filled with various emotions, stared at Li Wu on the stage, waiting for the first brave soul to speak out.

Dudu, standing on the stage, was well aware of this, but she chose to ignore it and continued reading her speech as if she knew nothing.

She had patience.

In the Ancient Book Gu Tian Gu's Correct Version!

"On behalf of all students of Jiangnan University, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to those who have taken time out of their busy schedules to attend this celebration!"

As Dudu spoke these words, she bowed to the audience.

At the same time, applause filled the hall, creating a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, but it was also incredibly fake.

This falseness was soon shattered.

Dudu finished reading the speech and threw it aside, then made an announcement.

"Additionally, taking this opportunity during the celebration, I have an announcement to make. Jiangnan University will join hands with 32 summoner universities, including Jiangning University and Zeda University, to collaborate in education, commerce, and various other aspects. We will also establish a university alliance.

At that time, I will become the first president of the university alliance!"

As Dudu dropped this bomb, which was no longer very fresh, the atmosphere in the Grand Hall reached its peak.

The students of Jiangnan University in the Grand Hall, some faculty members, representatives from the 32 summoner universities mentioned by Dudu, and business groups associated with Jiangnan University all cheered at this moment.

Obviously, they had all been waiting for this moment.

They were waiting for Dudu's announcement, especially the students of Jiangnan University.

After all, once the university alliance was established, Jiangnan University would become the top university in the alliance, and they would be the ones to benefit the most.

However, amidst this cheer, many people's mouths curled into cold, mocking smiles.

At the same time, the faces of 232 Summoners from the mentioned Summoner University paled.

At this moment, the girl on stage spoke.

"Next, we invite the Vice President of Jiangning University to deliver an important speech."

As she spoke, the spotlight in the Grand Hall shone on a middle-aged man, and along with the spotlight, the attention of the entire hall followed.

At this moment, the Vice President's face underwent several changes, looking particularly unpleasant.

But he still had to stand up, but instead of walking onto the stage, he stood and said, "Regarding the University Alliance, we at Jiangning University may need to reconsider."

"Boom!"

His words were like thunder, stunning the students of Jiangnan University.

"What's going on? Is this a change of heart?"

"What happened? What's with Jiangning University? Why the sudden change of mind?"

"Is it the Education Bureau's doing?"

The students of Jiangnan University, unaware of the truth, were unusually furious, feeling betrayed.

However, this was just the beginning.

After the Vice President of Jiangning University expressed the need to reconsider the University Alliance, the Vice President of Zeda also stood up.

"We also have some questions about some aspects of the University Alliance's cooperation. We need to discuss these matters clearly before proceeding."

"Another one!"

The students of Jiangnan University were furious, and then the third, fourth, and fifth representatives...

One after another, university representatives came forward, and within ten minutes, all 32 representatives who had initially signed the University Alliance agreement stood up to reconsider.

This was like tearing up Dudu's University Alliance Initiative right there and then.

On the first day of the new campus celebration, these people humiliated Jiangnan University, which was unbearable for its members.

"How can they do this? Are they playing with us?"

Someone with a short temper stood up immediately.

Zhao Kai Ming pointed at the Vice President of Jiangning University and cursed, "Initially, it was you who begged us. Now that everything is in place, you're backing out at the critical moment. Where's your integrity?"

"This won't do. If you don't give me an explanation for this, I won't let this go!"

The Vice President, being scolded by Zhao Kai Ming, looked aggrieved and helpless.

They didn't want to, but what could they do?

Facing Zhao Kai Ming's anger, he could only lower his head and not respond.

Zhao Kai Ming became even angrier at his silence: "Speak up! Why aren't you saying anything now?"

"Obviously, it's you who betrayed us, and now you're acting all aggrieved?"

Just as the Vice President was being berated and questioning his life choices, someone spoke up.

"In this matter, we really can't blame them!"

As these words were spoken, Zhao Kai Ming was stunned, turning his head in disbelief.

The reason for his reaction was the identity of the speaker.

If it had been someone from the Education Bureau, Zhao Kai Ming would have retorted without hesitation. However, the speaker was someone from Jiangnan University, Vice President Fang Jin.

Fang Jin was a senior member of Jiangnan University, having previously held a position just below Zhang Wentao and Li Mingrui. He had always maintained a low profile, and after Li Mingrui's removal, he naturally became the Vice President of Jiangnan University, diligently contributing to the university during this time.

Yet, it was this very person who now stabbed Jiangnan University in the back.

This left Zhao Kai Ming completely dumbfounded and speechless.

"Vice President Fang, are you crazy? Do you know what you're saying?"

"I'm well aware of what I'm saying. The reason the Presidents want to pause the alliance has nothing to do with them. It's because of a certain individual from our very own Jiangnan University!"

As Fang Jin spoke, he paused, and his eyes fell on Dudu on the stage.

At this moment, he was the center of attention, and his subtle movements were noticed by everyone.

This caused the students and most of the staff of Jiangnan University to erupt in rage.

This guy not only betrayed Jiangnan University but also dared to point the finger at Dudu. What was he up to? Meanwhile, those with ulterior motives below the stage smirked.

They knew the real highlight of the day was about to begin.

A conspiracy targeting Pang Dudu was about to unfold, and they were eager to see how Dudu would handle this...
