Chapter 236 Long Yeyue: Are you going to start a war?
Qian Gu Dongfeng finally understood that the elders of Shrek Academy who spoke earlier were all playing the villain.
The Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi, who had just spoken, was playing the good cop.
If it were anyone else, Qian Gu Dong Feng might actually have had a proper discussion at this moment.
After all, he didn't want things to get too tense with Shrek Academy. Both were top powers on the continent, and a complete falling out would benefit neither of them.
Besides, if they agree, they might even make some money.
But things are different now. Huo Yuhao's talent is too high. If we let him stay at Shrek Academy, wouldn't that be "aiding the enemy"?
He can't allow Shrek Academy to produce a second Yun Ming!
However, Qian Gu Dong Feng did not directly reject Zhuo Shi's proposal.
A faint smile remained on his face as he calmly looked at Huo Yuhao sitting to the side.
Then, he slowly spoke, "Although Yuhao is Yaozhu's disciple and a student of Shrek Academy's outer court, we, as his teachers, cannot arbitrarily decide his fate, can we?"
Qian Gu Dong Feng asked in return, his thin face full of sincerity.
He put on an act of respect for the younger generation, as if he were genuinely thinking of Huo Yuhao's best interests.
Then, he looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "Yuhao, do you want to stay at Shrek Academy, or continue staying at the Spirit Pagoda?"
Huo Yuhao naturally remembered that the Tower Master Qian Gu Dong Feng had harbored ill intentions towards him before, but now was not the time to dwell on such matters, as they were now "in cahoots".
Huo Yuhao answered without hesitation: "The Spirit Transfer Tower, of course!"
He doesn't need to consider it or weigh the pros and cons.
His answer has always been just this one.
Qian Gu Dongfeng smiled upon hearing this. He looked at Zhuoshi and said in a deep and steady voice, "Since Yuhao disagrees, it seems I cannot agree to Shrek Academy's proposal either."
The meeting room fell silent instantly upon hearing this.
Although Leng Yaozhu was strong and tough, she was ultimately only the deputy tower master.
Qian Gu Dongfeng is the master of the Spirit Pagoda, and his decision is the decision of the Spirit Pagoda.
Therefore, Long Yeyue can no longer say things like "This is not something you can decide."
Inside the meeting room, the elders of Shrek Academy looked at each other in bewilderment.
They never expected that Qian Gu Dong Feng, the tower master in their impression of "putting interests first," would be so tough today, despite his smiling face.
They had assumed that Qian Gu Dong Feng would weigh the pros and cons and negotiate a price.
But he didn't. He refused decisively and without the slightest hesitation.
How can this be good?
Anxiety welled up in everyone's hearts.
They couldn't help but turn their gaze to one spot, focusing on the old woman on the left side of the first seat.
Long Yeyue is older and of higher seniority. Although she always says "you guys make the decisions about the academy," she also frequently expresses her opinions.
She is now a representative of the hardliners in the academy, and also an advocate and staunch supporter of keeping Huo Yuhao in the academy.
Now, everyone is asking her, the "leader," for advice and waiting for her to make a decision.
Under the gaze of the crowd, she thought to herself that these elders were too "weak" and their "combat power" was really low.
They panic like this over such a small thing, what can we expect from them?
A deep sense of disappointment welled up in her heart.
Even though the ancient wind still indicates that it wants to bring Huo Yuhao back to the Spirit Pagoda, Long Yeyue's thoughts have not changed in the slightest.
That aged face was etched with both stubbornness and confidence.
She looked at Qian Gu Dongfeng and said calmly, "Master Qian Gu, this meeting is only because of your position as the Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower."
The moment she opened her mouth, she exuded an air of superiority.
It wasn't a discussion, it wasn't a negotiation, it was a notification.
It was as if she wasn't discussing something with the eternal east wind, but rather telling him a fact that had already been decided.
"There's really no need to discuss Huo Yuhao's matter."
"Because of Shrek Academy's decision, it is non-negotiable; he must remain at Shrek Academy!"
Upon hearing this, the elders of Shrek Academy were all delighted, secretly thinking that Elder Long was indeed the most forceful.
The smile on Qian Gu Dongfeng's face gradually faded, and a hint of coldness flashed in his slender eyes.
He hadn't expected Shrek Academy to be so tough!
He then slowly spoke: "Huo Yuhao is originally a member of my Spirit Pagoda, so Shrek Academy has no grounds to argue this matter."
"Now that this matter has spread, Shrek Academy's reputation will likely be damaged!"
Long Yeyue narrowed her aged eyes, a sharp light flashing in those cloudy old eyes.
"Are you threatening Shrek Academy?"
Qian Gu Dong Feng smiled, a smile full of profound meaning.
He didn't reply, but his expression said it all.
So what if it's a threat?
His gaze was fixed on Long Yeyue, without the slightest hesitation.
The other elders of Shrek Academy felt a chill in their hearts, their aged faces filled with solemnity.
If this matter really escalates, Shrek Academy's reputation will indeed be damaged.
But Long Yeyue was not afraid at all; her face remained calm.
"Compared to the existing threat, what can a few words do?"
The "already existing threat" naturally refers to Huo Yuhao.
These "few words" refer to the online comments that followed the news of the incident.
Long Yeyue's expression was firm, and a stubborn light shone in his cloudy old eyes.
"Shrek Academy has stood on the continent for 20,000 years because of its own strength."
"Let others say what they want. When it comes time for the academy to recruit, won't those so-called geniuses still be scrambling to join?"
Her tone was full of confidence, but also full of arrogance.
Upon hearing this, Yun Ming's expression changed instantly.
A flicker of shock and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
He never expected that his teacher's wife would think this way; it completely went against the original intention of the academy!
Long Yeyue's words, however, made him feel unfamiliar and chilled.
Not only Yun Ming, but many of the elders present were terrified when they heard this.
If these words were to get out, they would likely cause a huge uproar on the Douluo Continent, and Shrek Academy would be thrust into the spotlight.
All the prestige and image built up over the years could be destroyed in an instant.
However, Long Yeyue seemed completely oblivious to the changes in everyone's demeanor, still maintaining her imperious attitude.
"Trying to manipulate public opinion and force Shrek Academy to back down? You've miscalculated!"
Long Yeyue looked at Qian Gu Dongfeng, slightly raised her chin, and struck a victorious pose.
At this moment, as Qian Gu Dongfeng looked at the other party, four words involuntarily popped into his mind: "Incomprehensible!"
Trying to reason with someone like that is a complete waste of breath.
His voice deepened as he said, "Since that's the case, then I can only say that the Spirit Pagoda will never abandon any member. Huo Yuhao, I must take him away today!"
Upon hearing this, Long Yeyue immediately stood up.
Her gaze was fixed on the ancient east wind, and a sharp light flashed in her cloudy old eyes.
"What? Does your Spirit Pagoda want to start a war with Shrek Academy?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the elders changed.
They didn't expect that Long Yeyue would directly bring up the topic of war.
They were all thinking to themselves, "It's not that bad."
Two major powers went to war over a single teenager; the price was too high.
They can't afford it, and they don't want to.
Forced to this point by words, Qian Gu Dong Feng also stood up.
A resolute light gleamed in his narrow eyes.
He spoke, his voice carrying an undeniable firmness: "So what if we start a war? Do you think my Spirit Pagoda is afraid of Shrek Academy?"
Beside Qian Gu Dongfeng, Leng Yaozhu and the other two also stood up instantly, their eyes coldly fixed on Long Yeyue, looking ready to make a move at any moment.
"Heh!" Long Yeyue sneered, "What right do you have to say that? Back then, your father was slapped by me, but in the end, he didn't dare to fight Shrek Academy, did he?"
