Leng Yaozhu leaned back slightly, adopting a relaxed yet extremely imposing posture against the wide chair back, her arms crossed over her chest.
She smiled slightly, her gaze fixed on Ya Li: "What you just mentioned... resources, secret techniques, soul bones."
She gently shook her head: "Our Spirit Pagoda has no shortage of anything."
Upon hearing this, Yali's nerves tightened even more.
As expected, material compensation alone is not enough. Leng Yaozhu must have come with a purpose, and it is no small one.
She took a deep breath, maintaining her gentle and calm demeanor: "In that case, Yaozhu, please feel free to speak your mind. As long as it's within a reasonable range, Shrek Academy is willing to consider it."
Leng Yaozhu narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly: "I brought it up... and you're already agreeing? Do you think you can make decisions for Shrek Academy all by yourself?"
Yali met her gaze and nodded: "I came here to handle this matter entirely."
"Even if there is anything beyond my authority, I can immediately send a message back to the Sea God Pavilion and ask the elders to make a decision."
"good!"
Leng Yaozhu raised her right hand and tapped it lightly on the smooth tabletop, making a crisp sound.
She leaned forward, her gaze sharp and unwavering, no longer joking, and directly stated her conditions.
"I want five spots each for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and Devil's Island!"
"This is as compensation for the harm and distress caused to these children by Shrek's misconduct!"
The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire! Devil's Island!
When Leng Yaozhu uttered those two names, even Yali, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but feel a hint of shock flash across her emerald green eyes.
She never expected that Leng Yaozhu would make such an outrageous demand.
Ya Li's expression changed slightly, and she immediately said, "Yao Zhu, you should know how precious the spots for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and Devil's Island are!"
"That was an opportunity prepared by the academy to cultivate true pillars of society, for generations of the Shrek Seven Devils and a very small number of core members who made great contributions!"
Leng Yaozhu looked at her leisurely, with an expression that said, "Of course I know."
"These are my conditions, there's no room for negotiation."
"You Shrek students can choose not to agree."
"Then I am happy to make public everything that happened in the lobby of the Tianhai Hotel yesterday, so that all the Soul Masters on the continent and the people of the world can judge this matter."
"Let's see what Shrek Academy is really like!"
Yali's expression turned serious. Her weakness had been exploited, and now she had no choice but to let things go.
However, the quotas for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and Devil Island are too complex to be decided by her alone.
She remained silent for a moment, her eyes filled with a complex and shifting expression.
Finally, she slowly exhaled and looked at Leng Yaozhu: "This matter is of great importance, I need to... consult the Sea God Pavilion."
Leng Yaozhu seemed to have expected this, and nonchalantly raised her hand: "Please, I'll wait here."
It was quite a while before Yali pushed the door open and came back in.
She returned to her seat, looked at Leng Yaozhu opposite her, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Shrek Academy... can agree to your conditions."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but curl her lips into a smug smile.
This result was not beyond her expectations.
Faced with the potential damage to Shrek Academy's reputation and the risk of antagonizing the Spirit Pagoda, even such core resources had to be sacrificed.
However, Yali did not finish her sentence.
She then presented Shrek's requirements: "However, we also have one requirement: the five students of Class Zero must officially join Shrek Academy and become a part of the academy."
"Non-Shrek Academy students are given the opportunity that only the most core disciples can access... Such an exception is something the academy cannot explain to generations of students."
"Only when they become part of the academy will this compensation be legitimate and will silence any criticism."
After listening, Leng Yaozhu nodded in understanding; this request was within her expectations.
"Can."
She readily agreed, but there were conditions.
"However, Yuhao and Guyue will not enter the inner courtyard."
"As for Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan, whether they choose to enter the inner courtyard is their own decision, and Shrek Academy must not interfere."
"Also, even if they were to enroll at Shrek Academy, it wouldn't be now; they'd have to wait until they're twelve years old."
"no problem!"
Yali agreed exceptionally readily this time.
The most important thing right now is to reach an agreement and quell the conflict.
Just as the negotiations involving the two major powers were about to come to a close, Huo Yuhao, who had been sitting quietly behind Leng Yaozhu, suddenly stood up without warning.
He looked calmly at Yali across from him and said, "Aunt Yali, I... have two more conditions."
shuh...
All eyes in the conference room instantly focused on the young man who had stood up.
A hint of surprise flashed across Leng Yaozhu's eyes, but she did not interrupt.
Ya Li paused slightly, then looked at Huo Yuhao intently and nodded gently, signaling him to continue.
Having received permission, Huo Yuhao no longer hesitated and stated his first condition.
"We hope that Shrek Academy can increase the number of places available for the Tianhai Alliance within the next five years."
A hint of confusion flashed in Ya Li's eyes as she asked, "Yu Hao, all five of you can enter Shrek Academy without taking the entrance exam; you don't need any special quotas."
"I know." Huo Yuhao nodded. "These spots weren't earned for ourselves."
"Back then, in order to make the match with the Shrek team happen, we... could be said to have caused quite a stir in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament."
"Regardless of the original intention, it has ultimately caused quite a stir."
"These extra application slots... consider them a small compensation to the Tianhai Alliance."
Upon hearing this, not only did Ya Li's eyes flash with admiration, but even Leng Yaozhu raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze towards Huo Yuhao filled with even greater appreciation.
This child is not only exceptionally talented, but also incredibly thoughtful and meticulous. Everyone likes someone who knows how to be grateful.
After a moment's thought, Yali immediately agreed: "Okay, starting next year, Shrek Academy will provide an additional twenty places for the Tianhai Alliance each year for the next five years."
As the plenipotentiary representative in this negotiation, she has the authority to make the decision directly.
"Thank you, Aunt Yali."
Huo Yuhao politely thanked him and calmly stated his second condition.
"Another condition is that I hope Silver Moon Douluo can personally apologize to the six teachers and students of Class Zero for what happened yesterday."
"Yuhao!"
Wu Changkong's deep voice rang out. Although Cai Yue'er's actions yesterday were extremely heinous, she was still a level 96 Super Douluo with a venerable status. Face was more important to her than life itself.
Given her personality, making her bow down and admit her mistakes to a group of juniors in public would be tantamount to completely crushing her pride, which would probably be even more unacceptable to her than being killed.
Wu Changkong was worried that this request might escalate the conflict and even provoke Cai Yue'er's more covert revenge in the future.
However, to his surprise, after a brief silence, Yali agreed without any hesitation.
"no problem."
"If you do something wrong, you should naturally apologize, regardless of your status; this principle applies to all."
At this point, no one raised any further objections.
This negotiation, which was full of twists and turns and involved two major forces, finally came to an end at this moment.
As everyone stood up and filed out of the somber meeting room, Shrek's group waited silently outside.
Leading the group was none other than Cai Yue'er, the arrogant Silver Moon Douluo from yesterday.
She stood there, her back ramrod straight, yet exuding a stiff, stubborn air.
Her gaze was fixed on Huo Yuhao, the hatred, humiliation, and resentment surging within her almost solidifying, as if she wished she could devour the boy in front of her alive!
"Moon!"
Yali's voice rang out promptly, no longer gentle, but carrying an unprecedented seriousness.
Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er trembled violently, unable to suppress the sound.
She clenched her teeth, her cheek muscles twitched slightly, and her clenched fists were so tight that her fingernails almost dug into her palms.
Silence, like a bowstring on the verge of breaking.
Finally, under Ya Li's calm gaze, Cai Yue'er slowly bowed her proud back to Huo Yuhao and the teachers and students of Class Zero behind him.
"sorry."
She squeezed out the three words slowly and deliberately, her voice hoarse and dry, as if she had used up all her strength.
"This matter...I...made a mistake."
After saying this complete sentence, she suddenly straightened up, turned around and left without even looking at anyone.
Looking in the direction she disappeared, Huo Yuhao remained calm.
Being able to force a titled Douluo to bow his head in public, even if the apology is as dry and insincere as a withered tree, is enough.
He never expected to get genuine remorse from Cai Yue'er; what he wanted was this "bowing" posture.
