Douluo Dalu - The Story of Sheng Feilong Chapter 162

"Before . . ?" Yuanen Yehui frowned, seemingly understanding what She Meixiao was implying, but didn't answer . Instead, Yue Zhengyu spoke up with a thoughtful expression . "I haven't seen her often after Captain left for the Dragon Valley . Mostly only during meal times, and sometimes not even then . "

Sheng Feilong, She Meixiao, Yuanen Yehui and Wu Zhangkong frowned at his answer . The others didn't directly understand what the problem was, but seeing their expressions, they knew something was up . Wu Zhangkong spoke up in a serious tone . "Madam Smiling Snake, what are you implying?"

She Meixiao gaze lingered on this teacher of Shrek Academy for a moment . She could tell that he was genuinely concerned about the well-being of his students, but she also knew that he was the once who introduced Gu Yue not only to Shrek Academy but to Tang Wulin in the first place . " . . . Teacher Wu, do you know who Gu Yue is?"

"What?" Wu Zhangkong frowned, but before he could say anything else, She Meixiao spoke up once more . "I've been investigating Gu Yue's background after an incident in the past, but I was unable to unearth anything about her . The earliest records of her come from the time where she went to Eastsea City's Intermediate Academy; The time she met you, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie . "

Wu Zhangkong remained silent for a while, causing She Meixiao to ask again . "Do you know who she is? What she was doing before you she came to the East Sea Academy?" Again, Wu Zhangkong remained silent, but answered after a brief moment . "She is a member of the Spirit Pagoda . In fact, she is the personal disciple of Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu . "

"Leng Yaozhu, indeed . An alumni of Shrek Academy who went and became the Vice Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda . Who also just so happens to take a disciple who coincidentally found you to bring her to Shrek Academy . " She Meixiao spoke slowly, her gaze fixed on Wu Zhangkong . "But, when was she accepted? And where did she come from?"

Again, Wu Zhangkong remained silent . He had no answer to this question . In fact, he had never pried into his students private matters if they didn't talk of them by themselves . To him, only their talent mattered; As long as their individual character was good, he wouldn't question anything . Thus, he had also never done so with Gu Yue .

Seeing their teacher silent after She Meixiao's question, the students of Shrek Academy also didn't dare to say anything and a heavy silence pervaded the room . A moment later, She Meixiao spoke up, but her words didn't ease the tension in the room at all . "After the tournament in Star Luo City, Gu Yue invaded Sheng Feilongs room, accompanied by an unidentified high ranking Soul Douluo with the intention to kill him because of his second Spirit Essence . "

She stared at Wu Zhangkong while saying, who's eyed widened as he stared back . Everyone else looked at Sheng Feilong in disbelief or shock . Faced with their stares, Sheng Feilong nodded heavily . "If it wasn't for Master, that Soul Douluo would've killed me . And he referred to Gu Yue as 'Young Lady' . Later, Master personally went to investigate, but came back with heavy injuries . "

Wu Zhangkong was obviously more shaken by this than the rest . They had seen She Meixiao fight before on the ship to the Star Luo Continent, but only Wu Zhangkong fully realized just how powerful she was; There were only a handful of Soul Masters in the world who were stronger than her, and even less that could force her to retreat with heavy injuries .

Again, everyone was shocked into silence by their words . Yuanen Yehui seemed the calmest as she had already heard about this matter from Sheng Feilong, but even she was shaken hearing that She Meixiao had been injured .

A few moments later, She Meixiao spoke up again, looking at Wu Zhangkong . "Teacher Wu, I assume you are aware of Tang Wulin's special power? His dragon bloodline, coupled with the golden Soul Rings?" The latter nodded; Of course he knew of Tang Wulin's power, it was the reason he sent the latter to Shrek Academy in the first place .

"Gu Yue was fixated on Tang Wulin from the very beginning . And according to the information I have about her, I'm absolutely certain she is after this very power . " She stopped speaking, giving everyone time to process this information . Then, Xie Xie spoke up for the first time, saying out loud what everyone was thinking: "Senior, you think that Gu Yue went after Big Brother?"

Nodding strongly, She Meixiao confirmed their suspicion . "I don't think the Tang Sect is involved in this and I don't know how she would have gotten past them to get into the Dragon Valley, but I am sure that she is somehow connected to this . "

"The Dragon Valley is another world . Breaching into it is-" Wu Zhangkong started speaking after a while, but She Meixiao cut him off . "Is impossible . I know . That is, unless you are strong enough to force your way in . Someone strong on, let's say, the level of an top Elder of Shrek Academy's Sea God's Pavilion . "

She Meixiao knew that this wasn't the case . She did believe that Gu Yue was somehow involved in this given that was after Tang Wulin's bloodline, but Shrek Academy definitely wasn't involved . If anyone, it was Beast God Di Tian who helped her, but implying that Shrek Academy was involved was definitely the best way to bring Yuanen Yehui to their side . Moreover, Beast God Di Tian wasn't someone who could be spoken of lightly, especially not with unimportant people like Wu Zhangkong or some Outer Court students of Shrek Academy .

Wu Zhangkong frowned, clearly not pleased with this accusation . "The only Elder of Shrek Academy present on the Star Luo Continent is Elder Cai . And I know for a fact she wasn't anywhere near the Dragon Valley during that time . " She Meixiao glanced at him and spoke lightly . "The high ranking Soul Douluo going after Feilong also wasn't supposed to be present, no? Neither was the Hyper Douluo that attacked me . "

Wu Zhangkong was once again forced into silence . There was nothing he could say about this . Even if he didn't believe She Meixiao's story about Gu Yue being attacked; Could he, a low ranking Soul Saint, say this into the face of a Hyper Douluo and Four Word Battle Armour Master?

The only thing he could do was stand up and look at She Meixiao . "I will inform Elder Cai of this matter and we will investigate this thoroughly . We will also investigate Gu Yue . " He looked towards the distraught Shrek Academy students and beckoned for them to follow him, while he lightly bowed towards She Meixiao in goodbye .

The others did the same and bowed to She Meixiao while walking over to Wu Zhangkong's side . Only Yuanen Yehui remained seated . All eyes were on her and she took a deep breath . "Teacher Wu, I would like to talk to Senior She for a little longer . Please leave without me first . "

Wu Zhangkong frowned once more, but the words he wanted to say got stuck into his throat when he saw the dangerous glint in She Meixiao's eyes . He stepped down, remaining silent and only nodding towards Yuanen Yehui, telling himself that he had to inform Elder Cai as fast as possible .

Without further ado, he left with Yue Zhengyu, Xie Xie and the other students, leaving only Sheng Feilong, Huang Jialong, She Meixiao and Yuanen Yehui in the room . No one said anything for a long time and Yuanen Yehui was the first to break the silence . "Senior She, is what you said about this matter true . . ?"

She Meixiao sighed, but still nodded firmly . "It is what I believe to be true . I believe that Gu Yue is somehow involved in this . And I cannot think of any other reason than Shrek Academy backing her up . Only they could pull something like this under the watchful eyes of the Tang Sect . "

Yuanen Yehui went silent again, hanging her head low . Sheng Feilong didn't feel good about this, but he knew she Meixiao wanted the best for her, so he also remained silent, clenching his fists under the table, while Huang Jialong watched the whole thing like a spectator .

"Senior She . . . can I trust them?" Yuanen Yehui asked with a meek voice, much unlike her usual confident bearing . She Meixiao shook her head lightly . "I don't know . Shrek Academy is something that even I can't see through, no matter how hard I try . "

She Meixiao glanced at Sheng Feilong, beckoning for him to say something as well . The latter hesitated, but ultimate looked at Yuanen Yehui with a slightly guilty expression and spoke up . "Yuanen, you should come with us . I don't know about Shrek Academy, but I know that you can trust Daedalus – or at the very least, you can trust us . . . "

She was even more agitated about the whole situation than any of the other Shrek Academy students and her emotions and thoughts were churning wildly . A few more moments passed in silence again until Yuanen Yehui nodded her head and forced out a few, meek words . "Thank you . . . "
