"Not bad, Tang Yuehua did a good job."
Seeing Xue Beng rushing into the school, and Prince Xue Xing forcefully joining the Education Committee, Yu Xiaowei nodded in satisfaction.
The initial purpose of releasing the news about Xue Qinghe's poisoning was to delay the annexation of the Spirit Hall into the Tiandou Empire.
Now it seems that Emperor Xue Ye has definitely confirmed the issue with Xue Qinghe.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Xue Beng to the Blue Tyrannosaurus Academy, which is protected by Dugu Bo.
The objective had been achieved, and now it depended on what Qian Renxue would do next.
However, he had no time to think about Qian Renxue's issues at the moment. A message came from the sect that the Meng family had arrived.
Moreover, the entire family had come.
This was somewhat unexpected for Yu Xiaowei.
He had originally thought that the Dragon Man and Snake Woman would come to inspect the place first, discuss with Yu Yuanzhen the benefits of becoming followers of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and then bring their family later.
Unexpectedly, the Meng family had moved directly.
Since he led this matter, Yu Yuanzhen specifically asked Yu Xiaomeng to call him back to the family.
But from what Yu Xiaomeng said, it seemed something was wrong with the Meng family.
After rushing back to the family, he saw dozens of horse-drawn carriages parked in front, blocking the square in front of the gate.
What surprised Yu Xiaowei was that these carriages were full of scars.
What had happened?
Could the Meng family have been attacked before coming here?
You should know, the martial soul fusion skill of the Dragon Man and Snake Woman was on par with a Titled Douluo's abilities. Who would dare to attack them?
After arriving at Yu Yuanzhen's study, Yu Xiaowei saw that the Dragon Man and Snake Woman were still wrapped in bandages and couldn't help but ask:
"Senior, what happened?"
"Oh, don't even mention it. We ran into a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the Great Star Dou Forest and got injured."
Meng Shu shook his head and said bitterly.
He hadn't expected such bad luck. While hunting for a soul ring for Meng Yiran, they had actually encountered the Titan Giant Ape—an incredibly terrifying soul beast, a true king of the forest.
"Then what happened to your caravan?"
"Did you travel through the Great Star Dou Forest?"
Yu Xiaowei was shocked. Wasn't the Meng family being too bold? They didn't take the official route, but crossed through the Star Dou Forest?
Meng Shu sighed and said with a frustrated expression:
"Of course not. We took the official route. Damn it, we might as well have taken the forest."
"I'm not afraid of your laughter, but our family's luck is rotten."
"When our caravan reached the Silves Kingdom, an unfilial brat from the family saw a stunning 'woman' by the roadside and went up to her, speaking rudely."
"But she wasn't a beautiful woman—it was Yue Guan, damn it!"
"If Yue Guan hadn't already been severely injured, I'm afraid our entire Meng family would've been wiped out!"
Meng Shu grew more emotional as he spoke. The family had really suffered an unexpected disaster.
First, they were injured by the Titan Giant Ape. Then, the family fool offended Yue Guan.
That was a level 95 Super Douluo. Even in their best condition, they wouldn't have stood a chance.
So after Yue Guan left, Meng Shu broke the troublemaker's legs and threw him into the wilderness to fend for himself.
After hearing their experience, Yu Xiaowei felt sympathetic. The original novel didn't mention that they encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the Star Dou Forest, but according to the timeline, the Titan Giant Ape was indeed nearby at that time.
They hadn't expected to meet it in such unlucky circumstances.
As for why Yue Guan was severely injured, Yu Xiaowei knew clearly.
This person had taken a hit for Dugu Bo and the others and was struck hard by Tang Hao's mighty Xumi Hammer. But because of this, he had accidentally encountered the Dragon Man and Snake Woman.
Most of the subsequent arrangements were handled directly by Yu Yuanzhen and Meng Shu, and had nothing to do with Yu Xiaowei.
During their conversation, Yu Xiaowei learned that the reason Meng Shu came with his entire family was this:
He felt that the family's current resources were too poor. Apart from Meng Yiran, there were no Soul Masters among the younger generation.
Especially when compared to direct descendants of large clans like Yu Xiaowei, the gap was too big.
The conditions offered by the Yu family were also very generous. As long as their family could rise, what harm was there in becoming followers?
So, rather than wasting time going back and forth, it was better to move directly to Heaven Dou City.
In this way, under his leadership, the Meng family successfully became a vassal family of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan.
Meng Yiran was also personally sent to the Blue Tyrant Academy by Meng Shu.
The Blue Tyrant Academy now was no longer what it used to be. Aside from Yu Xiaowei, there were no outstanding students.
There were three Soul Masters in the academy: Yu Xiaowei at level 42, Yu Tianheng at level 41, and Ning Rongrong at level 41.
The remaining members of the Blue Tyrant team had also reached at least level 35, including Dugu Yan at level 37, Zhu Zhuqing at level 36, and Tai Long and Oscar at level 35.
Except for Tai Long, everyone had the potential to become a Soul Master before the elite Soul Master tournament.
Meng Yiran, who was originally a genius at the Exotic Beast Academy, didn't even make the top ten at Blue Tyrant Academy.
Meng Shu was also amazed by the strength and teaching capacity of the Blue Tyrant Academy.
He couldn't help but secretly feel that he had made the right decision.
After watching the freshman orientation and daily training of the students, Meng Shu approached Yu Xiaowei.
"Sect Young Master, forgive my shamelessness, but I would like to request a teaching position at the academy. Is that possible?"
"That's great! If senior wants to join, I'd be more than happy!"
Yu Xiaowei laughed and replied.
This was a great thing!
With a Soul Douluo joining as a teacher, the current Lanba Academy could be considered the best in the Heaven Dou Empire in terms of faculty.
There was a Titled Douluo as a teacher.
A Soul Douluo.
And three Soul Saints: Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Shao Xin.
Even the gatekeeper was a Soul Emperor like Li Yusong. It was truly rich in resources.
It would make any other academy green with envy.
Yu Xiaowei had just parted ways with Meng Shu when two uninvited guests approached him.
"Young Master, please save my life!"
Xue Beng bowed and greeted Yu Xiaowei without his usual arrogance and domineering demeanor.
Prince Xue Xing wanted to speak but stopped when he saw Xue Beng's determined expression.
"Heh, isn't this Prince Xue Beng from Heaven Dou Imperial Academy? What's going on? Why are you begging me?"
Yu Xiaowei pretended to be unaware of court affairs and looked at Xue Beng with playful eyes.
Xue Beng blushed in embarrassment and smiled bitterly.
"I was wrong before, but I had my reasons. I hope you can forgive me."
"Now, Xue Beng is in a life-or-death crisis. I truly can't think of anyone else who could save me. I have no choice but to swallow my pride and beg you."
Yu Xiaowei feigned surprise and asked:
"You're a prince. Why not go to your father, the emperor? What's the point of coming to me?"
"No, even my father can't protect me."
"Oh, the emperor can't help, but I can?"
"Because the one who wants to kill me is my elder brother, Xue Qinghe. But you're the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and son-in-law of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. You have four Titled Douluos behind you. With your protection, my brother wouldn't dare do anything."
Yu Xiaowei smiled and looked seriously at Xue Beng.
"Tsk tsk, your investigation is quite thorough. So you want me to be your bodyguard?"
Xue Beng nodded heavily.
"Well, rewards and all that can be negotiated."
