Chapter 83 Bibi Dong
Jing Yuan smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he took Bailu off him and let her sit on the stone bench next to him.
"It seems all the guests have arrived."
Jing Yuan took out a tea set from his sleeve and began to brew tea with fluid movements.
"Since you're here, let's sit down together. The snowy scenery in the far north, paired with a pot of hot tea, has quite a unique charm."
His attitude was far too easygoing.
His easygoing nature made Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong feel somewhat uncomfortable.
In their minds, strong people are either domineering or arrogant, and someone as unpretentious as Jing Yuan is simply an anomaly.
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, on the other hand, were used to it and sat down at the stone table without any hesitation.
"Hey, Jing Yuan."
The Ice Empress couldn't help but speak up; she was still preoccupied with what had happened before.
"Don't just focus on drinking tea."
"I'm asking you, where is that short girl... I mean, Fu Xuan?"
"When we were playing cards before, you said she had something to do and told us not to worry about it."
"The list has already reached the top three, why hasn't she come back to claim her award yet?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong also perked up their ears.
As the third-ranked on the Martial Soul Ranking, Fu Xuan's strength is beyond doubt.
Moreover, based on previous intelligence, it seems that Fu Xuan has taken over the defense of Jialing Pass.
Jing Yuan picked up the teacup and gently blew on the steam rising from it.
"Her."
"She's probably busy setting rules for certain people."
The Ice Empress frowned.
"Setting rules? For whom?"
"Those humans at Jialing Pass?"
At this moment, Bailu, who was eating her second candied hawthorn skewer, suddenly interjected:
"Is that even a question?"
"Sister Fu Xuan must have gone to cause trouble for those people from Shrek Academy!"
Upon hearing this, both the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were taken aback.
Previously at the card table, they made a bet with Jing Yuan on Fu Xuan's first move after taking over Jialing Pass.
The Snow Empress bets that Fu Xuan will first reorganize the defenses, while the Ice Empress bets that Fu Xuan will first establish her authority by taking down the Spirit Hall.
Only Jing Yuan placed a bet with a smile.
He said that Fu Xuan would first go and give Tang San a warning.
"She really went?"
The Snow Empress looked at Bailu.
"Of course she went!"
Bailu shook her little head.
"Just now, Sister Fu Xuan used that... that Qiong Guan Formation to contact Brother Jing Yuan."
"She said that the rabbit named Xiao Wu was too noisy and disrespectful, and she was preparing to teach her a lesson using the power of the rules."
"They also said that Tang San was very dissatisfied and wanted to fight, but Sister Fu Xuan glared at him and stopped him."
Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress's expressions changed.
The two of them turned to look at Jing Yuan at the same time.
Jing Yuan continued to leisurely sip his tea, a calm and serene smile on his face.
"How... is this possible?"
The Ice Empress's eyes widened.
"You hadn't even left the house, how did you know Fu Xuan would go looking for trouble with Shrek Academy?"
"And you even foresaw that little rabbit causing trouble?"
This is outrageous.
That's Jialing Pass, which is thousands of miles away!
Moreover, human nature is unpredictable; who can predict it so accurately?
Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, who were standing to the side, were even more shocked.
What did they hear?
Fu Xuan suppressed Xiao Wu? Tang San was also suppressed?
Most importantly, all of this was within the man's expectations?
Bibi Dong's palms, which were gripping the scepter, were sweating profusely.
She originally thought Jing Yuan was just powerful.
It now seems that this man's wisdom and strategic planning abilities are probably even more terrifying than his physical strength.
Sitting aboard the Luofu Immortal Ship, one can still win battles from thousands of miles away.
This kind of control is absolutely terrifying.
"General..."
Bibi Dong's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"You knew all along that Shrek Academy would clash with Fu Xuan the Grand Diviner?"
The Snow Empress frowned even more as she looked at the white-haired man who was leisurely blowing on the tea foam.
Even on this deck protected by a warm array, she could feel a chill. This chill didn't come from the wind and snow of the far north, but from the composure with which the man before her decided life and death with a smile.
"Tang San of Shrek Academy, although he is young, is a genius with twin martial souls. Moreover, he has Tang Hao and two great empires backing him up."
The Snow Empress stretched out her finger and tapped it lightly on the stone table.
"Fu Xuan, that little guy, directly taking over Jialing Pass is tantamount to slapping Shrek Academy in the face. Given the human tendency to be so obsessed with saving face, do you think that Dean Flander and that arrogant Yu Xiaogang would agree to hand over military power?"
Jing Yuan put down his teacup.
The white porcelain cup struck the stone tabletop with a crisp, light sound.
"They would naturally not agree."
Jing Yuan spoke calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter from a neighbor's house.
"What is Shrek Academy's motto? It only accepts monsters, not ordinary people. The so-called monsters often mean those who are unruly and unconventional."
He raised his eyelids, his golden pupils reflecting the swirling snow.
"These people have had it too easy all the way, and they think that breaking the rules is a display of individuality. In their eyes, Jialing Pass is theirs to defend, so why should they take orders from a little girl from out of town?"
Qian Renxue listened intently from the side.
Having dealt with Tang San countless times, she knew his character well. He appeared humble on the surface, but was arrogant to the core.
Therefore, conflict is inevitable.
Jing Yuan's lips didn't have that deliberate curve; they just naturally turned up slightly.
"I know Fu Xuan best. When she was in charge of the Divination Bureau on the Immortal Ship, she valued 'laws' and 'rules' the most. In her eyes, there were no monsters, only obedience or disobedience."
"When a group of self-righteous 'monsters' meet a Grand Diviner who can't tolerate any nonsense, Snow Empress, what do you think the outcome will be?"
The Snow Empress fell silent.
If that's the case, then it truly is a disaster. A disaster for Shrek.
Jing Yuan picked up the teapot again and refilled everyone's cups with hot tea.
"As for that girl named Xiao Wu, she is a spirit beast who has been reborn, and her nature is hard to change. Although she usually looks well-behaved, that's because she is spoiled by someone. Once Tang San is wronged, she will definitely be the first to jump out and make a fuss."
"Fu Xuan was just looking for an excuse to establish her authority, and this shout just happened to be the perfect opportunity to strike."
He spoke of it casually, as if he had witnessed it himself.
Bibi Dong sat to one side, holding the scepter that symbolized the papacy's authority in her hand, her gaze coldly sweeping across Jing Yuan's face.
She didn't believe it.
There may be people in this world who can strategize and plan, but there is no one who can calculate people's hearts to this extent.
Even though they are thousands of miles apart, they can predict exactly what the other party will say and who will make the first move.
This is no longer wisdom; this is evil.
"General Jing Yuan is far too confident."
Bibi Dong snorted coldly.
"Those Shrek students may be arrogant, but they're not brainless. Tang San is meticulous; how could he allow those around him to act recklessly at such a critical juncture?"
"Besides, even if Fu Xuan the Grand Diviner is powerful, that is still the main camp of the Heaven Dou Empire. With a million troops in front of her, would she really dare to directly suppress them?"
