The Vice Speaker immediately introduced, "Your Majesty, this is a student of Shrek Academy, Arthur."
"A student?" Dai Tianling was even more confused.
Arthur bowed. "To be more precise, I am the Dean of Shrek's Outer Court."
Dai Tianling was thrown into disarray and couldn't help but look at Zhuo Shi.
Wasn't the Dean this Scarlet Dragon Douluo?
Zhuo Shi felt a bit awkward under his gaze.
It was hard to explain that the previous Dean had shamelessly attacked Arthur only to be brutally beaten, and then, to save her life, Ya Li had compensated Arthur with her status and resources.
He coughed lightly. "Cough, it's more or less like that."
"Then you are truly young and promising." Dai Tianling's gaze toward Arthur became a bit more serious.
"I don't deserve such praise, I don't deserve it."
Arthur said modestly, "It's just that my family has power."
The air fell silent for half a second.
Zhuo Shi almost choked on his own saliva. "..."
The Federal Vice Speaker's lip twitched.
Dai Tianling was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Dean Arthur is quite honest."
He sized up Arthur, his gaze becoming even more complex. To dare to speak like that on such an occasion, one either truly had the backing or was brainless.
And the youth before him was clearly not the latter.
At that moment, a commotion broke out below the stage.
Everyone looked over together.
Tang Wulin's Soul Power was erupting, and strands of Blue Silver Grass vines burst from the ground, spreading wildly in all directions.
The next moment.
Dozens of figures shot out from all directions. One of them was extremely fast, appearing in front of Tang Wulin almost in the blink of an eye.
Before Tang Wulin could figure out the situation, the Blue Silver Grass vines surged out.
"Wait!" The leader, Wu Zhangkong, flickered and instantly blocked the path between Tang Wulin and that figure.
Two forces of Soul Power collided with a bang. Wu Zhangkong was forced back two steps, while the other person flipped in the air and hovered.
Simultaneously, the locking beams of countless spirit tools instantly converged on Tang Wulin.
Only then did Tang Wulin wake up completely. He looked around in a daze and subconsciously asked, "Didn't someone just shout 'murder'?"
Veins throbbed on Wu Zhangkong's forehead as he glared at him. "What murder? Have you gone stupid from dreaming?"
As the leading teacher, Wu Zhangkong had naturally noticed Tang Wulin sleeping earlier, but he hadn't bothered with it, never expecting it would cause trouble.
His bad friend Xie Xie couldn't help but laugh out loud, gloating, "To have a stress response from a dream on an occasion like this—you're in for it."
By now, the Star Luo Empire's Imperial Guard had surrounded them.
A composed old man asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Even with Wu Zhangkong's calmness, he was having a bit of a headache right now.
He couldn't exactly say his student was "sleepwalking" during a state ceremony and mistook the ceremonial cannons and shouts for an assassination attempt, could he?
But if he didn't explain clearly, once it was misunderstood as an attempt to assassinate the Emperor, the trouble would be immense.
"Damn it! It must be the work of the Evil Soul Masters!" Arthur's voice rang out across the slightly chaotic square, filled with anger and certainty.
At this moment, Tang Wulin and Wu Zhangkong felt as if they were hearing celestial music.
Dai Tianling frowned, shifting his gaze from Tang Wulin to Arthur. "Evil Soul Masters?"
Arthur naturally knew the truth. His gaze swept behind Dai Tianling, where a young girl in a palace dress stood gracefully, her temperament quiet and elegant.
The daughter of Dai Tianling, Dai Yuner.
Right now, she was holding back laughter.
