Soto, inside a hotel.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat heavy.
Flander paced back and forth in the room, the floorboards creaking under his feet.
His shrewd face was now filled with unease.
"Xiao Gang, what do you think is going to do with this Jade Crown Gourd?"
Flander stopped and looked at the silent figure by the window.
"He wouldn't come to the temple without a reason. He's the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If he suddenly asks to see you, it can't be anything good."
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back by the window, gazing into the distance with a calm expression.
But his taut jawline betrayed his inner turmoil.
"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."
His voice was calm, revealing little emotion.
Flanders sighed. He knew his old friend's temperament and his painful secrets.
He became even more stubborn, especially in situations like these.
“I’m just afraid he’s up to no good. Shrek Academy is too popular right now, it’s bound to attract jealousy. Besides, what about your relationship with the sect…”
Before he could finish speaking, a knock sounded on the door.
The two exchanged a glance, then Flander took a deep breath, walked over, and opened the door.
Outside the door, Yu Luomian, dressed in a brocade robe, stood with his hands behind his back.
He came without any attendants, but his long-held authority made the whole room feel oppressive.
His gaze passed over Flander and landed directly on Yu Xiaogang.
Within one of the dragon's eyes, thunder seemed to be brewing.
"Xiao Gang, it's been so many years, you haven't changed much."
Yu Luomian stepped in, her voice devoid of any warmth.
"Second Uncle."
Yu Xiaogang turned around and called out in a humble yet assertive manner.
Flanders wisely prepared to step aside, but was stunned into silence by Yu Luomian's next words.
"But you really have a lot of nerve!"
Yu Luomian suddenly shouted.
"How dare you teach your disciples to cultivate using such evil methods! You are leading them into an abyss of no return!"
"What?!"
Flanders was horrified.
Yu Xiaogang's pupils also suddenly contracted, and his heart was filled with shock.
This secret is the foundation of Shrek Academy, the very basis of their existence! How did he know it?
Flanders' mind raced, and he immediately denied it outright:
"What do you mean by that?"
"Our Shrek Academy acts with integrity and uprightness, how could we be accused of any evil magic? Don't make baseless accusations!"
Yu Luomian sneered.
"Still being stubborn? Don't think you've covered your tracks perfectly. If you don't want anyone to know, then don't do it in the first place."
His gaze swept around the room before finally settling on the floor.
"Let me guess, your secret cultivation chamber is probably located in the basement of this inn, right?"
These words struck the two of them like a heavy hammer.
It's over.
Flander's face turned deathly pale instantly.
The other party not only knows, but knows so clearly that further denial is pointless.
Yu Xiaogang's body stiffened for a moment, then he relaxed.
Now that it has been discovered, hiding it would only be a bad idea.
He looked directly at the jade crown and frankly admitted:
"That's right."
"You admit it?"
Yu Luomian narrowed her eyes slightly.
Why shouldn't I admit it?
Yu Xiaogang countered with a question tinged with stubbornness and pride.
"Second Uncle, the evil technique you're referring to is me having Tang San use his martial soul to devour the life force and soul power of soul beasts, and then feeding it back to his companions for cultivation, right?"
He simply laid everything out in the open.
"Soul beasts are the cultivation resources of soul masters. What is the essential difference between hunting them to obtain soul rings and soul bones and my method? What is wrong with it?"
Yu Luomian stared at his nephew.
Then, he suddenly laughed.
"Good! Well said!"
Yu Luomian clapped his hands, his previous anger vanished, and even a hint of approval appeared on his face.
"As expected of someone from the Yu family! They have guts and insight! They weren't bound by those so-called rules!"
This sudden change caught both Flander and Yu Xiaogang off guard.
"Second Uncle, you..."
Yu Xiaogang frowned.
"What about me?"
Yu Luomian strode up to him and patted him heavily on the shoulder.
"Xiao Gang, I underestimated you before. You're not a waste, you're a genius! A genius who can overturn the entire cultivation system of the Soul Master world! I've come here to take you back to the sect and prove your worth!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
Return to the sect? Reclaim one's name?
When his martial soul mutated and he was considered a disgrace to his family, he was expelled from the sect. Did anyone ever say a word in his defense?
He paused for a moment, then said calmly.
"Second Uncle, let's get down to business."
Yu Luomian's smile froze for a moment, then she burst into laughter.
"Okay, that's direct! I like it! Then take me to see your cultivation chamber, and let's talk about something... practical."
The hotel's basement has been renovated at great expense, and its soundproofing and security are quite thorough.
When Yu Xiaogang pushed open the heavy stone door, a wave of energy mixed with soul power and blood energy rushed towards him.
In the center of the basement, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and others were sitting cross-legged, seemingly having just finished a round of cultivation.
Seeing Yu Luomian enter with their teacher, Tang San and Dai Mubai immediately stood up and looked over.
"teacher."
Tang San shouted.
