Chapter 49: Moon's Pattern
Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island.
There are many buildings on Poseidon Island, but there is only one tall and magnificent building, which is the Poseidon Pavilion located in the center of the island.
There are six floors in Poseidon Pavilion, each of which is more than ten meters high and looks extremely magnificent. In addition to hiding some unknown secrets, there are also some precious treasures. Countless self-important masters have sneaked in, but the final result is that no outsider has ever left alive.
Whenever something big happens in Shrek Academy, the elders will hold a meeting in Poseidon Pavilion, which is also the highest meeting of Shrek Academy.
At this time, the conference hall of Poseidon Pavilion was quiet. There were ten people sitting around an oval long table. On the main seat inside the long table, there was a recliner. The light was dim where the recliner was located, and one could only vaguely see an old man lying on his back on the recliner.
Yan Shaozhe sat on the left side of the long table. Next to him sat a woman who looked to be around fifty years old. The woman was extremely beautiful. Her name was Cai Meir. She was the vice president of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy and a Titled Douluo of the Strong Attack Department at level 95.
On the right of them, there were also two people sitting, a man and a woman. The man was Qian Duoduo, the vice president of the Soul Guidance Department, and the woman was about 1.7 meters tall, and looked to be only about 50 years old. She had fair skin, neatly tied up black hair, and wore a white dress with gold edges, looking very capable.
She is Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy.
In addition to the four of them, there were six old men sitting under the table. Each of them looked white-haired and had different appearances. The most eye-catching one was Old Xuan. He had a bruised face and nose, and was eating and drinking with a chicken leg in his left hand and a wine gourd in his right hand.
"Is everyone here? Xuanzi, tell us what's going on?" At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from the recliner hidden in the dark, giving people a feeling like spring breeze.
“Yes, Mr. Mu.” Upon hearing that, Mr. Xuan quickly put down the chicken leg and wine gourd in his hands, rubbed his greasy palms on his clothes, slowly stood up, and began to talk incessantly about how he was beaten.
After listening to Master Xuan's story, the people at the long table had different expressions. Some were surprised, some were terrified, and some were puzzled. Only the old man on the recliner remained the same, looking calm.
"I think the man who injured Master Xuan should be the mysterious man who suppressed the evil fire for Xiaotao at the Sea God Lake yesterday. What was his purpose in sneaking into Shrek Academy? Why did he help Xiaotao?" Touching his chin, Yan Shaozhe spoke first with a look of confusion and puzzlement on his face.
Hearing this, the old lady sitting on the main seat on the right frowned and said, "I sent someone to inform Elder Xuan. This person is the mysterious man who came to Jubao Pavilion to auction elixirs recently. Because he always wears a black robe to hide his identity, I am afraid that he has some ulterior motives in coming to Shrek City, so..."
"But from what you said just now, this person did have other purposes for coming to Shrek City. Otherwise, why would he sneak into Shrek Academy?"
The old lady who said this was the owner of Jubao Pavilion, Lin Lao. Her hair was as white as snow, her face had few wrinkles, and she looked kind.
"Mr. Xuan, you just said that one of the students has a relationship with this mysterious person. Do you have any evidence?" Qian Duoduo said thoughtfully after playing with the watch in his hand.
"No." Elder Xuan shook his head and said with a gloomy face, "When that kid fought Zhou Yi, a mysterious person helped him in secret. However, I'm not sure about this because the ice used by the mysterious person yesterday seemed to be a little different from the ice that froze Zhou Yi before."
As the highest meeting of Shrek Academy, the Poseidon Pavilion Meeting is held in two ways: one is the annual regular meeting, and the other is the ad hoc meeting. Every ad hoc meeting means that something big will happen in Shrek Academy. Obviously, Xuan Lao was beaten into a pig head, and everyone still took this matter very seriously. A mysterious man with the strength of the Ultimate Douluo sneaked into Shrek Academy, which was indeed worthy of them holding a Poseidon Pavilion Meeting.
Xian Lin'er said, "Master Xuan, do you think it is possible that the descendants of a large family have come to our academy? That mysterious man was sent by his family to protect him."
Elder Xuan shook his head again, took a sip of the wine in the gourd, and said seriously: "Among the freshmen this year, the one with a relatively big background is the one called Wang Dong, but there is no one in his background who is good at using ice attribute martial spirits."
"I have already sent someone to investigate the identity of the boy who fought with Zhou Yi not long ago. He seems to be an orphan, but his admission recommendation letter is forged." Xuan Lao snorted, touched his bruised face, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "I think he must be related to the mysterious man who used ice. How about I go and capture this boy and interrogate him?"
Having said that, Old Xuan was about to get up and walk outside.
"Come back." At this moment, a plain voice but with invisible majesty sounded. The two words were spoken in a very calm tone, but they made Old Xuan, who had already started, stop in his tracks.
"Mr. Mu, is there anything wrong with what I did? I really can't swallow this anger in my heart!" Mr. Xuan had his back to the crowd, his body trembling slightly.
"I asked you to come back, couldn't you hear me?" Old Mu's voice became heavier again. Then, Old Xuan's body shook and he turned back to his seat.
Perhaps because they sensed a hint of anger in Mr. Mu's tone, everyone sat up straight unconsciously, and each of them was silent and dared not say a word.
Among all the elders present, the most honorable ones are Elder Xuan and Elder Lin, but even they are one generation younger than Elder Mu in terms of seniority. Elder Mu is the last disciple of Master Xuan and also the youngest disciple. If we count the seniority, Elder Mu is the junior uncle of Master Xuan. Although the age difference between the two is only a dozen years, the contribution and strength that Elder Mu has made to the academy is the best in Shrek Academy.
I saw that Mu Lao, who had been lying on the chair, slowly sat up straight, stared at the front, and said lightly: "Xuan Zi, you are more than 200 years old, why are you still so impulsive like when you were young?"
"If a level 99 Ultimate Douluo really had hostility towards the academy, do you think he would help Xiao Tao suppress the evil fire? In other words, if he really had hostility towards the academy, would you still be standing here alive?"
"What's the point of you looking for trouble with that kid? If the mysterious man who used ice is really sent by the power behind him to protect him, then you have directly offended a huge power. If not, you have wronged a child."
"In my opinion, the mysterious man doesn't have any hostility towards the academy. You don't need to investigate his identity. That's it."
