"In the past hundred years, the number of geniuses who died at the hands of evil soul masters in Shrek Academy hasn't been as many as those who died under the leadership of Taotie, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was rendered speechless.
Especially Beibei and the others, who fell into deep thought.
It seems... it really does make sense!
"Wait, do you think there's a possibility that Taotie is actually on the side of the evil soul masters?"
"With his identity, he could easily create various accidents to cause these geniuses to die untimely deaths!"
After hearing this, Beibei said somewhat uncertainly, "Probably... it's impossible, right?"
"Taotie was raised by my ancestor, he's the second-in-command of Shrek Academy, how could he be a spy for the evil soul masters."
After Beibei finished speaking, everyone's gaze fell on him.
Their mouths slightly opened, wanting to say something but stopping themselves, their expressions extremely vivid...
Could there be a possibility?
What everyone was thinking, they didn't dare to say it out loud, as they couldn't easily offend Beibei and the others.
Talking about Xuan Zi was one thing, Beibei was already dissatisfied with Xuan Zi, so it was fine to join in and agree.
But talking about Mu En, Beibei would probably flip out on the spot.
Just as everyone was staring blankly, Tang Ya looked at Paimon beside her and said, "Paimon, do you think Lord Martial God will save the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone realized that Lord Martial God's martial soul was still here!
To a large extent, she could represent Lord Martial God's will!
"Paimon doesn't know..."
Paimon spread her hands and shook her head.
"From Paimon's understanding of Zhongli, he... although kind, doesn't easily help outsiders."
The outsiders here naturally refer to those outside of Liyue.
Hearing this, everyone nodded, without any feelings of disappointment or the like.
Isn't it usually not to easily help others?
"For Zhongli, the cycle of life and death is a normal state, he probably wouldn't intervene."
Paimon scratched her head and said somewhat uncertainly.
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
It seems that moral coercion cannot be used on this Martial God.
But if this matter spreads, wouldn't it affect Lord Martial God's reputation?
After all, it's the White Tiger Duke and the White Tiger Duchess!
The White Tiger Duke's prestige in the Star Luo Empire is even higher than the emperor's, if not handled well, Lord Martial God's prestige in the Star Luo Empire might plummet to the bottom.
This White Tiger Duke is really detestable!
"Just kill the three outside, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
At this moment, Ice Empress stepped forward, her face frosty as she spoke.
When she said this, there wasn't the slightest ripple on her face!
Everyone couldn't help but gasp, instinctively taking two steps back.
Truly a fierce beast, if you can't solve the problem, just eliminate the person who raised it!
But... this is indeed a good way to solve the problem!
Snow Empress grabbed Ice Empress and said, "Bing'er, don't act rashly."
"This matter must be left for Lord Martial God to handle, we must not act on our own!"
"But, Snow Empress, those three are truly shameless!"
"If Lord Martial God agrees to help, then in the future, a single kneel at Lord Martial God's door can solve any problem."
"If Lord Martial God doesn't agree to help, it will damage Lord Martial God's reputation. Why don't I go and deal with these three, then leave Paimon and fend for myself..."
Ice Empress said with a serious expression, how could Lord Martial God's reputation be damaged?
In Ice Empress's eyes, Martial God is just like Snow Empress!
The weight of the two in her heart gradually balanced out.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes twitched slightly.
This is really a good method!
It also dispelled some of their bad thoughts!
If Snow Empress hadn't stopped her, who could have stopped this Ice Empress?
"Sigh... why is it always about killing and fighting?"
Paimon argued somewhat puzzled, her brow furrowed.
Can't problems be solved completely?
Thinking carefully, there really isn't a peaceful way to solve the problem, otherwise, the traveler wouldn't have drawn his three-foot green blade...
"It's really giving Paimon a headache."
Paimon isn't stupid, she's just a bit naive.
The traveler tries their best not to let her see those bloody scenes, which is why Paimon maintains a pure heart.
At this moment, a "majestic" and handsome figure appears in front of everyone, making everyone's minds go blank instinctively, as if this person's appearance could solve everything.
It was an indescribable sense of security.
Zhongli didn't speak, but walked towards the hotel entrance.
"Zhongli, they are all bad people, they are forcing you to act this way, you…"
Before Paimon could finish, Zhongli waved his hand and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Paimon."
After saying this, Zhongli walked straight towards the entrance.
Everyone looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then quickly followed.
They also wanted to know how Zhongli would resolve this matter.
After all, if it's not handled well, it could damage Martial God's reputation!
What if... what if Martial God gets angry, then it would be quite a spectacle.
At the hotel entrance, the White Tiger Duke and Duchess were still kowtowing incessantly.
Their appearance was quite disheveled, their foreheads already bloody, but they didn't wipe it away.
With their strength and cultivation, although the steps were hard, they weren't as hard as their heads, so how could they be injured?
The injuries were intentional, just to gain Lord Martial God's sympathy.
At this moment, the hotel door opened, and the person they longed for came out from the hotel.
"Lord Martial God, Lord Martial God, please save my son, he's my only son..."
The Duchess quickly bowed, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Seeing this, Dai Hao also bowed, not saying a word.
Xuan Zi was slightly stunned, then buried his head on the ground, not kowtowing, nor saying anything, as if waiting for Zhongli to handle the situation.
"Lord Martial God, please..."
The Duchess kowtowed while murmuring.
This scene moves the onlookers deeply.
The Duchess's reputation was indeed very good.
She just didn't treat Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao well, but that doesn't mean she was a woman without means, nor does it mean she was a fool.
The White Tiger Duke was often away from home, but she managed the Duke's residence in an orderly manner.
In the hearts of the people, this Duchess was indeed a virtuous helper.
They didn't understand the conflicts between the White Tiger Duke and the Duchess, but no matter how angry the Duchess was, she never let Dai Hao lose face in public, which shows her magnanimity.
Zhongli looked at Dai Hao and the Duchess as well as Xuan Zi, his face showing no emotion.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his posture straight, without joy or sorrow, not saying a word.
After a while, Dai Hao and the Duchess stopped kowtowing, their eyes filled with confusion, looking up at Zhongli, somewhat puzzled and bewildered.
