Chapter 260 The Holy Spirit Cult's Inside Agent
"Captain, 145 academies from the three great empires have submitted applications. How many should we cross out?" Yan Lingshu approached Luo Yu, carrying a thick stack of applications.
Looking at Yan Lingshu's slightly flushed face, Luo Yu asked, "Where's Lu Jiuyu? Isn't Lu Jiuyu in charge of these things?"
"He said he wasn't feeling well, so he let me..." Yan Lingshu bit her red lips lightly, a faint blush appearing on her pretty face.
Luo Yu naturally knew it was just a little trick played by these guys, and nodded. "Just leave these to Rachel. Any new developments from the three great empires?"
Yan Lingshu's blush hadn't faded yet. "The compensation from the Star Luo Empire has been delivered, but the new students we sent to Shrek Academy seem to have encountered a small problem. It turns out that a few of them are members of the Holy Spirit Cult. These people were discovered by Shrek Academy immediately after being sent there, and Shrek Academy wants us to provide a reasonable explanation."
"Let's put that aside for now. There's no rush with Shrek Academy's affairs. Let's go, come with me to check on the situation at the border. The border has never been peaceful lately." Luo Yu put down what she was holding and looked at Yan Lingshu.
Yan Lingshu nodded and followed Luo Yu out of Maple Leaf City. Looking back at the city walls, she couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder what Maple Leaf City was like eight thousand years ago?"
"Eight thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Sun Moon Empire arrived on the Douluo Continent with soul tools. The three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent suffered successive defeats in a short period of time. Unfortunately, Shrek Academy stepped forward and gathered almost all the titled Douluo of the Douluo Continent at that time to participate in that war. In the end, the three empires joined forces to defeat the Sun Moon Empire. Maple Leaf City was once an important town, but unfortunately, with the defeat of the Sun Moon Empire, Maple Leaf City gradually declined."
No one knows the history of the Sun Moon Empire better than Luo Yu. Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire's royal library contains detailed records of its history. However, Luo Yu couldn't find the detailed history of the palace coup back then; he only found a few short sentences about it.
However, the palace coup that year was not a bad thing for the Sun Moon Empire as a whole. On the contrary, a monarch who is praised for his benevolence even by his enemies is definitely not a qualified monarch.
If he were truly that good, the current emperor would have been the one to die in the palace coup back then.
"Captain, do you think we can win?" Although Yan Lingshu's family did not have an 8,000-year history, she knew about that defeat in the past.
Looking at the encampment, Luo Yu's gaze shifted to the Heavenly Soul Empire's garrison in the distance. "Unless someone from the three great empires can surpass the former Sea God Pavilion Master, Dragon God Douluo, or if the three great empires can produce dozens of Title Douluos, the Sun Moon Empire will not lose in my lifetime."
As they passed the military camp, the soldiers and officers saluted Luo Yu one by one, and Luo Yu simply returned the salute, indicating that it was just a routine patrol.
As far as the eye can see, there are traces of war left behind around Maple Leaf City. The border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire has never been peaceful, and as a border city bordering the Heavenly Soul Empire, Maple Leaf City is naturally not much more peaceful.
"Captain, where are we going?" As they got further and further away from Maple Leaf City, Yan Lingshu had a feeling that this trip was not so simple.
Before they knew it, they had left the area of Maple Leaf City, and judging from their posture, they seemed to be heading towards the border garrison.
"We need to discuss some matters; you'll find out the details when you get there."
Luo Yu smiled at Yan Lingshu, saying nothing more. The border guards' encampment was only a dozen miles from the border, and they arrived in the blink of an eye.
Yan Lingshu was stunned when the garrison commander came out.
"General Yan, it's been a long time." Luo Yu bowed slightly to the tall and upright middle-aged man opposite him.
The middle-aged man in front of him was tall and imposing, with a cold and stern face. Every move he made exuded a strong sense of murderous intent. When he saw Yan Lingshu, he was stunned.
"You, you, you..." Yan Haoying stammered, unable to speak.
"Father, what are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be dispatched to the border of the Star Luo Empire?" Yan Lingshu looked at the middle-aged man in front of her in surprise, seemingly unable to believe it was true.
The father and daughter were reunited, and the scene was filled with warmth.
However, this warm feeling was interrupted by falling feathers just a few minutes later.
"After my last discussion with His Majesty, General Yan was transferred from the Star Luo Empire's border to Maple Leaf City. I might not trust others, but with me in Maple Leaf City and General Yan stationed there, there's basically nothing to worry about. General Yan, I have something I'd like to ask you. Do you have some free time now?"
Yan Haoying looked at Luo Yu and said without hesitation, "Young Master Luo Yu, please feel free to speak. I, Yan, will answer all your questions to the best of my ability."
"My question is, how many members of the Yan family have actually joined the Holy Spirit Church?"
Luo Yu's words are always shocking, and even Yan Lingshu herself was unaware of this information.
At this point, Yan Haoying fell silent. "The situation of the Yan family is more complicated than the young master imagines..."
After a conversation, Luo Yu finally understood why Yan Haoying had been sent to a place bordering the Star Luo Empire.
"The situation seems complicated. If I'm not mistaken, many families in Mingdu have some connection with the Holy Spirit Cult, right? Although it's not exactly collusion, there are still interactions, aren't there?"
"That's how it is. In fact, His Majesty has tried to control many things, but most of them have had little effect. The Yan family... If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before Young Master Luo Yu takes action against the Holy Spirit Cult, right?" Yan Haoying guessed correctly. He knew very well the purpose of Luo Yu's visit this time.
Luo Yu nodded. "I have a general understanding of the Yan family's situation. If the Yan family truly wants to continue to survive, they have no choice but to cut off an arm to save themselves. Otherwise, I can only protect Yan Lingshu and General Yan's family. As for the Yan family, I can do nothing about it. As for how to choose, I await General Yan's answer..."
"Let's go, it's time to go back..."
Back in Maple Leaf City, in the same familiar office, I looked at the pile of official documents on the desk.
Luo Yu rubbed her temples. With so many things to do, oversights were inevitable. "Where are the others? Are they alright?"
The Holy Spirit Cult has always had a very long reach. Just looking at this matter alone, it shows that there are still quite a few families within the Sun Moon Empire who are colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult.
However, now that we have a handle against him, we can simply write a letter and send it to His Majesty to reprimand him.
"Everyone else is fine, but there have been quite a few fights taking place privately within Shrek Academy, and the victims are naturally students from our Sun Moon Empire. Shrek has intervened to stop them multiple times, and the recent incident involving a spy from the Holy Spirit Cult has exacerbated the conflict within the academy. These reports are the latest, and because they are of great importance, they have been placed on your desk, Captain."
As she spoke, Yan Lingshu pointed to the thick pile of documents on the table. Looking at the pile of things that had not yet been processed, Luo Yu was not in a hurry.
"It's not exactly a matter of great importance. Just write a letter to His Majesty to find out the families of these guys, and His Majesty will know what to do next. As for Shrek Academy, I'll personally visit Shrek Academy with Rachel and the others. As for the rest, someone else will handle it."
Luo Yu gave an order, commanding his men to gather everyone together.
Before long, all six had gathered. In the conference room, Luo Yu looked at them and asked, "How much do you know about the families behind those guys?"
"They're just a few small, third-rate families in Mingdu. We never expected them to collude with the Holy Spirit Cult. This was my oversight. Captain, I'm sorry..." Lu Jiuyu lowered his head in shame. He was in charge of the personnel selection, and this oversight was truly his fault.
Luo Yu waved his hand, gesturing for Lu Jiuyu to sit down. "This matter isn't your fault. Fortunately, they didn't commit any treasonous acts. If they had, you'd better think carefully about how to explain it to His Majesty. Take the guards, and you'll all come with me to Shrek Academy."
Rachel looked at Luo Yu in surprise and said, "Captain, you're not kidding, are you? We really have to go to Shrek Academy to give those guys an explanation? This kind of thing can't be settled with just a few words of explanation, can it?"
"The captain naturally has his own plans. I reckon this trip to Shrek Academy isn't just about explaining things. The captain's target is probably those few people, right?" Lu Jiuyu asked Luo Yu.
"We'll discuss the specifics when we get to Shrek Academy. Pack your things and remember to send a message to His Majesty. It's time to clean up those who have been dishonest."
Seeing Luo Yu's serious expression, everyone knew that going to Shrek Academy was not as simple as it seemed.
Shrek Academy.
"Have you heard? Among the exchange students sent by the Sun Moon Empire, there are actually a few members of the Holy Spirit Cult! Fortunately, they were discovered by the dean of the academy, and they are still being held in custody." Wang Dong'er said with some surprise. Looking at her gently fluttering eyelashes and bright eyes, Su Yu reached out and grasped Wang Dong'er's hand.
He and Luo Yu shared the same memories, so he naturally knew about these things beforehand. "How were they handled later?"
Wang Dong'er thought for a moment and continued, "They are temporarily detained. The academy has already appealed to the Sun Moon Empire, and the Sun Moon Empire has responded, saying that they will definitely give the academy a satisfactory explanation. According to Huo Yuhao and Senior Brother Bei Bei, Luo Yu of the Sun Moon Empire is already on his way."
"You've got guts. With relations with the three great empires so tense right now, you still dare to come alone?" Su Yu knew this, of course, but he pretended not to know in front of Wang Dong'er.
"This matter is of utmost importance, as it involves the Holy Spirit Cult. Although the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult have colluded, these matters cannot be made public, so the impact this time is particularly profound. After all, the public appearances must be carefully maintained, just like the Sun Moon Empire's successful popularization of soul tools last time. I just don't know what tricks they're up to this time."
Wang Dong sat at her desk, listlessly looking at the pile of complex manuscripts on Su Yu's desk. Beside her, Su Yu was still diligently organizing a stack of design drawings.
Sunlight streamed through the tall building, bathing the room in a soft, golden glow. The golden light fell on Su Yu's hair, adding a touch of nobility to the young man before him.
"I really don't know how I fell for this guy back then..." Wang Dong'er rested her chin on her hand, quietly looking at Su Yu.
Organizing and modifying the soul guide design blueprints is a tedious and boring task, and perhaps only Wang Dong'er could quietly watch Su Yu complete these tasks.
After processing a portion of the manuscripts, Su Yu stopped and collected them all into his storage soul tool. The large pile of messy manuscripts was sorted out in just a few minutes and then sent into his storage soul tool.
Wang Dong'er disliked soul tools. Although, under Su Yu's influence, she could barely use simple soul tools, her aversion to them remained. There were things Wang Dong'er couldn't understand. She didn't know why she had such a strong interest in the Tang Sect, nor could she understand why she had an instinctive aversion to soul tools.
"Would you like to try out the hidden weapon that Big Brother just made?"
Seeing Su Yu's practiced manner as he explained the uses of these soul tools to her, Wang Dong'er suddenly had an idea.
Doing what you're interested in is always fun, and she suddenly understood why Su Yu always liked to design strange and unusual things.
Just like how the Tang Sect combined soul tools to design a new version of hidden weapons, it felt like finding a brand new toy that was extremely interesting to them, which made them very happy.
"No, I've already tested it. Have you forgotten that I'm also a member of the Tang Sect?"
"But I didn't say which one," Wang Dong'er asked expectantly, looking at Su Yu's expression. "Have you really tested them all?"
"Forehead……"
Su Yu thought for a moment and then said thoughtfully, "Which one? I should have tested them all by now."
“…………”
"Just kidding, hehe..."
Ever since she found out that Su Yu would spoil her, she has become even more mischievous.
"Although I don't know why you are so resistant to soul tools, believe me, one day I will help you find a solution to this problem, and then you can experience the soul tool making process with me."
Su Yu reached out and gently tucked her drooping hair behind her ear, looking tenderly at Wang Dong'er.
"Really?"
"Really, Dong'er, believe me..."
