Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, dormitory rooftop.
Feng Zaixing, dressed in a blue trench coat, gazed into the distance, letting out a long sigh. His pupils reflected the bustling spectacle of Mingdu.
Mu Ye stood beside him, his eyes filled with intense joy, and he excitedly said:
"The Sun Moon Federation hasn't been this lively in many years. This time, Shrek will fall from its pedestal!"
"It took a full twenty thousand years for its golden body to shatter. This time has come too late..."
The gentle breeze of Mingdu blew across Feng Zaixing's prematurely mature face. He murmured, and in the depths of his eyes, stars seemed to rise and fall.
"Heh, what a ridiculous thing. Ten thousand years ago, it stood with the original three empires to resist the Sun Moon Empire. When Spirit Ice Douluo left, it conditionally surrendered to the Sun Moon Empire, selling out Douling and Star Luo. Yet, it still managed to maintain such a lofty status and image, acting recklessly for ten thousand years. It's utterly laughable."
Some matters, when not weighed, seem insignificant, but once on the scale, they are heavier than a thousand catties.
Today's events, his background, and Yu Xin's identity are the perfect flashpoints.
With the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and the Spirit Transfer Pagoda taking the lead, the Central Legion, Southern Legion, War God Hall, and Blood God Legion expressing their stance, all forces within the Sun Moon Federation opposed to Shrek swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, using righteousness to suppress Shrek.
Among the five great Military Families, three were hawkish, the Le Family was neutral, and the Shen Family was dovish. But no matter their stance, they had no other choice. No one wanted to destabilize the military's morale.
The Federation's strongest Blood God Legion had to defend military morale, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable, and Shrek could not bear them.
This time, with the entire Federation's power pressuring Shrek, Shrek had no other choice but to bow its head. Over the years, tens of thousands of people have been involved, and the evidence of terrorist attacks is irrefutable. Even the council members they supported dared not speak for them openly.
It's just that... "Not being able to kill Atlas Douluo, it's still ultimately not painful or itchy."
Feng Zaixing sighed. The strongest person on the Douluo Continent in this era was, after all, Yun Ming.
"The rest is up to you, Teacher. I'll do what I need to do."
No longer thinking about the subsequent turmoil, Feng Zaixing stepped down from the high platform and walked directly to the training ground, his twin swords drawn, waving like the wind.
A fragrant breeze, like a cloud, Na'er, in a dress, arrived with the moonlight. The shadow of her spear accompanied her nimble steps, complementing Feng Zaixing, her cheeks radiant with a beautiful, ethereal smile.
In a waterside pavilion in the distance, Yu Xin sat quietly in plain attire, her jade fingers holding a paintbrush, sketching this unforgettable scene on an upright easel, a beautiful smile gracing her lips.
The bright moon hung in the clear sky, the figures of the young man and young woman intertwined, sword wind and spear tip interwoven but not intersecting, like a dream, like a painting.
After a while, the sword was sheathed, the spear returned. Na'er put her hands behind her back, tilting her cute head, and asked the two:
"Brother, Sister Yu, did Na'er perform well during the day?"
"Good, very good." Feng Zaixing replied softly, his gaze gentle, reflecting the girl's smiling face, full of doting affection.
"Na'er always does her best." Yu Xin put down her paintbrush, nodding with a smile.
"That's great then! Na'er really loves being with Brother and Sister."
Na'er laughed joyfully, a colorful glow flashing in the depths of her pearly purple pupils, a subtle emotion that was hard to detect.
"This is so good, even if they come to take me away, Na'er will be very happy..." She thought happily to herself.
"Those military magnates should be coming for me soon. I hope a quasi-god comes to take me to see Ditian..." Feng Zaixing thought with anticipation.
It had been three years since he found Na'er. The Star Dou Vicious Beast group would surely find a way to take her away.
And he didn't want to lose his Junior Sister without understanding why.
Mu Ye smiled, appreciating the harmonious scene. The wrinkles on his face had unknowingly softened quite a bit, as if he had returned to his youth.
Suddenly, he felt something and looked in a certain direction outside.
His body flashed, and he appeared hundreds of meters away, greeting the sudden arrival of a middle-aged man in military uniform, laughing loudly:
"God Pen Douluo, long time no see."
The middle-aged man in military uniform had an ancient face, a hooked nose, and eyes that conveyed a steady sense of oppression. Three golden stars on his shoulder symbolized his status as a Federation General.
Yu Guanzhi nodded slightly, his peripheral vision sweeping over the distant dormitory building, and he slowly said to Mu Ye: "Body Douluo, you've been quite successful these past few years."
"Without a sound, you took in a Legacy of the Angel Family as a Disciple. I really didn't expect that."
"What do you mean, God Pen Douluo? I don't understand."
Mu Ye said in surprise: "Xiao Feng is my Disciple, and you know his background best. He has long had no connection with the Le Family."
"We know these inside stories, but others don't."
Yu Guanzhi's expression was solemn as he asked with full concentration: "Tell me the truth, have you had any contact with the Le Family these past years?"
"No." Mu Ye's expression also became serious, his voice without a trace of hesitation.
Seeing no change in the other's expression, a large stone in Yu Guanzhi's heart dropped halfway, and he continued to ask:
"Since not, how could he use the Light Judgment so skillfully?"
"Your granddaughter taught him." Mu Ye replied.
"Hmm???"
Yu Guanzhi was confused by this answer, and a strange light suddenly flickered in his eyes. He asked with a twitching mouth:
"Xin'er drew the Le Family Genius for him to see?"
"Yes." Mu Ye nodded honestly, stating the facts.
"Slap."
Yu Guanzhi rubbed his forehead in pain, his eyes rolling up, and he said with a troubled expression: "This girl is really used to being lawless; she doesn't consider the consequences at all..."
Everything that happened in Mingdu today was comparable to a magnitude twelve earthquake, and the chain reaction was even greater than Feng Zaixing, the designer, had imagined.
Within the military, a consensus was reached to stabilize military morale, suppress Shrek, and boost the Federation's prestige. At the same time, there was suspicion as to whether the Yu and Le Families had reached some private agreement.
Yu Guanzhi personally announced Feng Zaixing's life information, emphasizing that he had long had no connection with the Le Family. Many people outwardly believed it, but what they thought in secret was unknown.
Even Yu Guanzhi himself was suspicious of whether someone in his Family had colluded with the Body Sect and the Le Family while he was busy with official duties!
After all, on the Douluo Continent, no evidence was as real as a Spirit. Once the Sacred Angel appeared, few would believe that Feng Zaixing was not a direct descendant of the Le Family.
There was no other way. After dealing with military and Family affairs, Yu Guanzhi could only personally come to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy to confirm the situation, and the result made him quite disheartened—
His good granddaughter Yu Xin clearly knew about Feng Zaixing's Spirit situation, but she had never informed the Family. She had only said before that she had invested in a Genius outside and would wholeheartedly win him over to contribute to the Family.
Her words were not wrong, but everything that was happening now made Yu Guanzhi scratch his head. Yu Xin's concealment of Feng Zaixing's information clearly showed a wariness towards the Family. In a sense, she was putting an outsider before the Family.
Mu Ye probably knew what the other party was thinking and chuckled:
"The innocent are self-evident. Why should Commander Yu worry so much? As long as we don't associate with the Le Family, this rumor will soon disappear."
"Easier said than done. The Le Family has many Legacies, which non-direct Disciples cannot receive. I don't believe you aren't tempted."
Yu Guanzhi scratched his head and twitched his mouth, his expression even more helpless: "Xiao Feng's talent is worth Le Zheng'en making a trip himself. I came here to wait for him."
"Alright, I'll go see the children first."
With that, Yu Guanzhi's figure flashed away.
Mu Ye's eyeballs shifted slightly, and he followed with a smile... "Xiao Feng, it's been many years, do you still remember me?"
Yu Guanzhi arrived on the wind, appearing before Feng Zaixing. His eyes, which had seen countless people, carefully scrutinized the young man before him, trying to discern everything about him.
"You are my mother's former superior, Sister Yu's grandfather, and now my superior. Of course, I remember you."
Feng Zaixing took two steps forward, stood tall, and saluted this military magnate who had arrived first, his words firm: "Major Feng Zaixing of the Intelligence Department greets the Commander."
Yu Guanzhi nodded, a gentle smile appearing on his face, and said: "A young Genius, accomplished at a young age."
"Thank you for your recognition, Commander." Feng Zaixing withdrew his hand from the salute, his expression composed.
Yu Xin jogged forward, half a step ahead of Feng Zaixing.
How could Yu Guanzhi not notice his granddaughter's actions? He sighed softly in his heart, looked at Feng Zaixing, and said:
"From your Teacher Hua's perspective, you can just call me Grandpa. We are also Family."
"I am pleased to see a rising star like you in the Central Legion, and I am willing to support your growth, for you to take my place in the future."
"However." Yu Guanzhi changed the subject, his expression solemn:
"I hope you do not get overly entangled with the Le Family. This involves many complex things, and both you and I must be very careful."
