Shrek Prisoner Yard welcomes and sees off the third guest.
Outside the courtyard, Xiao Hongchen was still taking notes, recording the process of Xu Tianxi introducing the situation to Vina.
"In the past period of time, some of these people have redeemed themselves, and some have chosen to join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. The remaining students and one teacher are all here."
Xu Tianxi pointed to the courtyard with one hand, his voice clear and powerful.
"Except for He Caitou, who has a special identity, all others can be redeemed. However, the talents and potentials of these people are relatively poor."
Vina nodded slightly. This situation was expected.
"Marquis Yue, how come there is a teacher among these people? I don't think I've heard Yan Shaozhe and the others mention it."
She tilted her head, confusion flickering in her eyes that had just begun to tear up.
Xu Tianxi sighed softly, "This teacher was naturally captured together. He is a high-level theory teacher. He is nearly 40 years old and still a Soul King. I think Shrek thought he had no potential and forgot about him."
As he said this, he turned his eyes to look at Vina, his pupils showing a strange color, "Besides, his master is that old bastard Xuanzi. I heard about the matter of Tiandou City from Xu Sanshi. I wonder if Shrek knows about it."
Vina understood what he said, "I see, this is really an unexpected disaster."
"We, the orthodox soul masters, hate the evil soul masters. When my father learned that those bastards showed up in Tiandou City, he imposed martial law for seven days. Unfortunately, he only caught some small fry and got no important intelligence."
Xu Tianxi frowned slightly and said with disgust: "Those guys are really a headache. Xingluo City was hurt in the battle. I wonder if they will come out and cause trouble again in a few years."
Vina thought about the information she had heard these days and asked tentatively, "I heard that a few days ago, Mingdu City launched a comprehensive crackdown on evil soul masters?"
Xu Tianxi knew what she was up to, so he waved his hand and said, "I will not deny that the current emperor had some dealings with the evil soul master when he launched the coup. I don't know the exact extent of the dealings, but he tacitly allowed the evil soul master to hide in the Sun and Moon Territory."
"After the battle of Xingluo City, I convinced the Lord of the Worship Hall to make up his mind to take action against those bastards, so there was a comprehensive hunt for evil soul masters in our country. I invited Yu Mengdi for this purpose."
"Speaking of which, my title of Yue Hou is somewhat due to the evil soul master's brain."
"Unfortunately, we only killed two evil soul masters near Mingdu City, and the others are not here."
These things could not be hidden, and Xu Tianxi had no intention of hiding them, so he simply told everything.
Now that he had said it, he could get rid of the accusation of colluding with the Holy Spirit Church. He really didn't know where those sewer rats had gone.
As for criticizing the emperor, Xu Tianxi didn't care, since he was telling the truth anyway.
Upon hearing this, Vina was even more moved, and she sighed sincerely: "Vina only knows today that there are people like Yue Hou in this world, who make people convinced."
It is impossible for Kong Tianxi to know that the evil soul masters would be mobilized in large numbers before the battle of Xingluo City. He had already made up his mind to win over Yu Mengdi, perhaps with the intention of protecting his safety.
It seems that the rumor that Kong Tianxi killed many evil soul saints with a sword is not groundless, but is a real record.
Such a mental strength is so transcendent that it is impossible for people to even think of pursuing it, and it also makes people admire it.
Xu Tianxi shook his head and said, "Fake reputation is nothing. It's not just you three empires that hate evil soul masters. We soul masters also hate those disgusting guys."
"Let's talk about these people again. Are you going to pay the ransom for Shrek people?"
Vina didn't answer, but tilted her head and asked, "What do you think, Yue Hou?"
"What do I think? I think...except for teacher Wang Yan, all the others who are redeemed will only serve as a favor to Shrek."
Xu Tianxi thought for a moment and said calmly, "There are many people in your country who are loyal to Shrek. I'm afraid that in their eyes, it's all a matter of course for you to rescue them. At most, it will just win some favor."
Vina pursed her lips when she heard that, and a hint of helplessness emerged in her beautiful eyes. Half of the Protectorate Douluo were more loyal to Shrek than to the royal family. It was really a big joke.
After thinking for a while, Vina stared at Xu Tianxi and asked, "Originally, I was just here to bring a message for the Emperor's uncle. It's great that Lord Yue brought me here. I'll take Teacher Wang Yan out. The others can wait for the Emperor's uncle's attitude, okay?"
Xu Tianxi nodded: "Okay, let's go in."
Press the remote control soul guide.
With a loud bang, the door slowly opened.
This time Xu Tianxi did not say hello to the Shrek people. He probably thought they had gotten used to his arrival.
After looking around, Xu Tianxi found that Wang Yan was not in the room.
Xu Tianxi casually looked for the nearest Shrek student and asked, "She Yang, where is your teacher Wang Yan? Is there anyone willing to take him out today?"
She Yang, who was sleeping soundly, woke up with a start. He saw Xu Tianxi bringing someone in again. He pointed at Vina and asked in a half-dreamy state, "Who did you bring this time? This beauty doesn't look like someone from Shrek. Could she be the noble lady from your Sun and Moon?"
Xu Tianxi curled his lips and said, "This is the princess of the Tianhun Empire. Your Shrek teacher is unreliable. The Tianhun royal family can't wait any longer and want to confirm your safety. Be polite."
Vina looked at Xu Tianxi gratefully and introduced herself gracefully, "Hello, I'm Vina."
"Ah? It's Your Highness Princess? Excuse me."
She Yang woke up completely, opened his eyes wide and asked: "Your Highness Princess, are you here to save us? When can we get out?"
Vina's smile was a little more embarrassed. She didn't mind saving people, but she didn't want to be disgusted by Shrek...
"Don't forget your identity, Shrek student. Your teacher doesn't want you to get too close to the Tianhun royal family. Her Royal Highness the Princess is here to confirm your safety and take away Wang Yan, who Shrek doesn't care about. You still need to wait for Shrek."
"Her Royal Highness will not get any good out of saving you, and it may even be a waste of effort, but she is here to make a connection for Prince Xueyu. After Prince Xueyu knows about your situation, he will communicate with Yan Shaozhe. Let's do it as quickly as possible."
Xu Tianxi spoke up to help, his words pierced She Yang's heart like a knife and gave him a glimmer of hope.
"Well... okay, thank you Princess and Prince for your help. We will remember this favor."
She Yang cursed inwardly that Shrek was not as reliable as the Tianhun Royal Family, and pointed the way for the two with a wry smile: "After the library was built last night, Teacher Wang Yan stayed there and never came back; it was built by you, so you can find it yourself."
"Okay."
Xu Tianxi waved his hand and led Vina and Xiao Hongchen into the library. He said to Xiao Hongchen who was following the situation throughout the whole process: "Old Xiao, you are very efficient."
Xiao Hongchen raised his lip and said proudly, "Of course. Our academy's work efficiency is the best in the world. I asked some third and fourth grade students to help with dust removal and moving books. It was done in one day."
The corner of Xu Tianxi's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that you are quite good at utilizing local labor.
However, Xiao Hongchen has always been generous, and he would not do something like making his younger classmates work like slaves.
The library covers a large area of more than 10,000 square meters.
Vina couldn't help but sigh: "You have only arrested a few people, is it necessary to make such a big move?"
Xiao Hongchen hugged his shoulders and shook his head, "This is nothing, it's already the size of a small library. We have basic respect for human rights."
Vina was shocked, thinking that she still didn't know enough about the Sun-Moon Empire.
At this time, Xu Tianxi said meaningfully: "Your Highness, the Sun Moon Empire is full of twists and turns, but our school never likes to get involved in outside affairs, and we are not interested in war. As long as others don't cause trouble for us, we are not interested in caring about others, unless they are evil soul masters."
The meaning is very clear. We in the academy are not disgusting people like Shrek who are afraid of the unification of the continent, so you should not cause trouble to us, especially the Body Sect who wants to launch a sneak attack on Mingde Hall.
If you provoke us, don't blame us for changing our stance and becoming war advocates.
Vina nodded her head when she heard this. She naturally understood the hidden meaning of Xu Tianxi's words: "Vina understands what Yue Hou means. We also never want to have a conflict with your country. That is something that the Xing Luo Empire would do."
If others say that they are peace-loving, Vina would never easily believe it, but Xu Tianxi is undoubtedly an outlier and his character is beyond doubt.
"If the next Sun and Moon Emperor is someone like Yue Hou, then..." Vina thought to herself.
As they hurriedly walked, a middle-aged man with glasses, who was working at a desk with a book in his hand, came into the sight of the three people.
Wang Yan looked up when he heard the voice, his eyes fixed, "Is it you?"
"good."
Xu Tianxi nodded, introduced Vina to Wang Yan, and then said: "Congratulations on being able to go out today."
"Plop~"
The book Wang Yan was holding fell on the table. His eyes were fixed, and he looked a little at a loss.
Shrek didn't save him, but the Tianhun Imperial Family came to save him? Was it so bizarre?
"Teacher Wang Yan, Vina heard from Yue Hou that you are a senior theoretical teacher at Shrek. We in the Tianhun Empire have always been eager to recruit talents like you. I wonder if you are willing to go with Vina and work at the Di'ao Academy..."
Vina took the initiative to invite Wang Yan. After a moment's silence, he gave a wry smile and slowly stood up.
"It's rare that Her Royal Highness Princess takes a fancy to a discarded child like me. I, Wang Yan, am not an ungrateful person. Besides, I am originally from the Tianhun Empire. It is also good to be able to contribute to the empire."
Wang Yan wanted to be a Shrek member, but Xuan Zi's unreliability and Shrek's abandonment made him feel extremely disappointed. It was rare for him to have a new employer at the moment, so he should quickly find a stable life for the rest of his life.
Although it would be nice to take a few decades off here, being a teacher at Diao College would give me a wider horizon. Maybe I could also practice diligently and pursue the possibility of breaking through to the Titled Douluo level...
"We are extremely lucky to have a talent like Teacher Wang Yan. Maybe Vina will even be recognized by our father when she returns..."
The new boss and the old employees praised each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
A Golden Soul Card was delivered on the spot, and Wang Yan bid farewell to his life as a captive as Xu Tianxi came for the third time.
…
"Your Highness, you can tell Prince Xueyu when you go back that all he wants is money and soul bones in exchange. There is nothing else to discuss, so let's end this matter quickly.
If he wants to come, he can come here in plain clothes tonight to pick him up."
Walking out of the prisoner yard, Xu Tianxi shrugged and said.
"Okay, this matter can be successful. Vina and the emperor's uncle are very grateful." Vina performed a complicated court etiquette towards Xu Tianxi, bowed, and left with Wang Yan and Mu Xue.
At night, Prince Xueyu, dressed in a black nightgown, handed over 25 million gold soul coins to Xu Tianxi and proposed five students. From then on, He Caitou was the only one left in the prisoner courtyard.
"I have heard of Yue Hou's request. His compassion is well-deserved. After returning to my country, I will vigorously promote Yue Hou's soul guide. I hope the friendship between our two countries will last forever."
Prince Xueyu eagerly grabbed Xu Tianxi's wrist, his face full of pride.
He never thought that it would be so easy to bring someone out. If he had known that Shrek's group could not accomplish anything, wouldn't he have just found the young man in front of him to collude with him earlier?
Xu Tianxi smiled faintly and said, "Now that this matter is settled, everyone can relax. This is good for both you and me. I wish the prince a safe journey."
"Well, have a safe journey. I also wish that Yue Hou can rise rapidly in the Sun and Moon Empire and be crowned a duke and king soon."
Prince Xueyu thought for a moment, took out a gold jade token from his bosom, handed it to Xu Tianxi, and introduced it: "This is a token that symbolizes my personal identity. If Yuehou is interested in being a guest in Tianhun in the future, this thing may be of some use to me. I hope you don't despise it."
Send a token? Why do all the descendants of the Tiandou lineage like to do this? Xu Tianxi looked strange for a moment, then took the token and said, "Goodbye, Prince."
"Okay, I'll have a safe trip."
Prince Xueyu shook his hands vigorously, turned around, took Vina and five students, jumped up, and displayed his extraordinary skills.
The quiet night was torn apart by a ray of white light. Xu Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Xiao Hongchen beside him:
"I'm going to the Far North with your sister later. Are you interested in taking a walk?"
