Chapter 13 That 1
Both of them had youthful faces and wore orange outfits with a strange beast-shaped garment embroidered on their chests.
The one on the left has a handsome face, with a calm and powerful aura between his brows. The one on the right has a delicate face, but his face is somewhat pale, and his aura is weak.
After turning his gaze back, Chen Yingwu continued striding forward without slowing down, heading straight for Yangshi Hall.
"Sir, please wait!"
Upon seeing this, the young man on the left immediately spoke up.
"What can I do for you two?"
Chen Yingwu then stopped and turned his gaze back to the two of them.
The young man on the left seemed to be carefully choosing his words and considering how to answer. After a pause, he slightly bent his body.
"This blacksmith, I am a disciple of the inner court of Shrek Academy. My name is Wang Haibin. Last night, Heaven Dou City was attacked, and one of my companions died in the attack. You were the only surviving mid-level Soul Master in this area where evil Soul Masters were staying last night. I would like to ask you some questions."
Wang Haibin's words were relatively mild.
Chen Yingwu nodded:
"Please speak."
After receiving permission, Wang Haibin slowly began to speak: "Last night, after that evil spirit master entered this area, this was his last stop. I heard that a great battle broke out here. Could you tell me what happened?"
Chen Yingwu's memoir:
"Last night, I was sleeping at the back of the forging room when a sudden noise woke me up. It turned out that evil spirit masters were carrying out a massacre, and I could sense an undisguised malice targeting me. So I hid inside the forging room, hoping to hold out for a while thanks to its sturdiness."
After a pause, he spoke again:
"As a result, not long after, an old-looking Soul Master appeared, defeated the evil Soul Master, and then left."
Wang Haibin nodded. What this blacksmith said was similar to what he had asked the others before. Then he asked the blacksmith about the abilities of the evil soul masters that he had observed.
Chen Yingwu answered each question, but only touched on the points; he didn't say anything more about what he shouldn't know.
However, he noticed that Wang Haibin's companion had a strange look in his eyes, as if he was suspicious of him.
Chen Yingwu did not reveal this discovery, and his expression remained unchanged.
Although Wang Haibin hadn't gathered any special intelligence, he still smiled at Chen Yingwu:
Thank you for your cooperation.
He then pulled his companion away.
Chen Yingwu was not surprised by this.
Last night, the evil spirit master came to so many places and killed so many spirit masters, but he was the only one who didn't get into trouble.
It's perfectly normal for people to come and ask him about it.
Chen Yingwu didn't linger any longer and returned to Yangshi Hall to continue forging.
in the afternoon.
After questioning all the targets, on the way back, Wang Haibin's companion couldn't help but speak up:
"I sense something's off about that blacksmith; he's not as simple as he seems."
"Besides, the very fact that he was rescued makes him suspicious. Why don't we arrest him and interrogate him thoroughly?"
Wang Haibin, who had been attentively listening to his companion's conversation, suddenly turned serious, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure:
"Wu Kunjun, I know your girlfriend is dead. It's understandable that you're heartbroken and your words are agitated."
"But we are students of Shrek Academy and also members of the Tang Sect. Both the academy and the sect take it as their duty to uphold justice and peace on the continent and to eliminate evil spirit masters."
"As one of them, we should inherit the will of our ancestors, adhere to the right path, and strive not to tarnish this glory that has lasted for 20,000 years."
"I hope that after you say this, you will not mention it again, nor will you take any related actions. Otherwise, if I find out, even if I am punished by the academy, I will personally kill you!"
When he said the word "execution," he emphasized it with particular seriousness, as if he really would do it.
Wang Haibin would indeed do that. What he hates most in his life is bullying the weak, because he was once a weak person and suffered greatly from it.
Moreover, he didn't quite believe that no matter how special a Soul Master was, could he possibly hide it from a Soul Emperor who came from Shrek Academy's inner court?
That's impossible.
The Soul Emperors who come from the Inner Academy are all absolute elites. They are geniuses personally taught by the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. If nothing unexpected happens, they are destined to stand in a high position in the Federation and look down on an era.
He may not believe in himself, but he will never doubt the glory of Shrek Academy for millennia.
Because he's one of Shrek's.
The Shrek people will never forget their honor.
Upon hearing Wang Haibin's words, the young man he referred to as Wu Kunjun could only stammer a reply:
"it is good."
Wu Kunjun didn't listen; on the contrary, he even harbored some resentment towards that blacksmith.
If it weren't for that blacksmith, he wouldn't have been criticized by his senior brother. As for whether he would hold a grudge against his senior brother, he wouldn't.
His senior brother was a Soul Emperor and a two-word Battle Armor Master, while he was only a Soul King and a one-word Battle Armor Master. He didn't have the guts to hold a grudge.
After all, the scene of my senior brother chasing after the evil spirit master yesterday is still vivid in my mind.
He actually disdained what his senior brother said; a mere outsider Soul Sect, capturing them was no big deal.
He didn't reveal these thoughts; he kept them hidden in his heart, not wanting to get beaten up by his senior brother.
Moreover, he had no intention of letting that blacksmith go.
My senior brother said that he would only be punished if he was discovered, so as long as he isn't discovered, that's fine.
With a single-word battle armor master from Shrek Academy, taking down an outsider Soul Master was a piece of cake.
This is his confidence, and even more so, the confidence that Shrek has built up over 20,000 years of glory.
The fact that it is the top academy on the mainland means that its students are also top-notch.
What normal person would think that a Soul King from the First Academy couldn't easily defeat a Soul Master from the outside world?
Besides, he is a Battle Armor Master.
If Soul Masters are the noblest among all professions in the Douluo Continent, then Battle Armor Masters are the noblest and most powerful among Soul Masters.
Even though he is injured now, with his battle armor, he can still suppress that blacksmith with one hand.
Anyway, even if something unexpected happens, he doesn't believe the other party is that "what if".
There are no such things as "what ifs" in this world. If he keeps thinking about "what ifs," then all the ordinary people he encounters on the street could be Title Douluos hiding their cultivation levels and pretending to be something they're not. Then he would have to be careful around everyone, afraid that a Title Douluo might suddenly appear.
Don't make him laugh. Wu Kunjun didn't become a Soul Master to make himself uncomfortable. He just wants to be superior and enjoy himself.
If it's just a possibility, he'll accept it.
As he thought about it, Wu Kunjun's idea became more and more firm.
