Chapter 165: Xue Qinghe is trying to win over Bibi Dong
Not long after Xue Beng turned and left, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes and with extraordinary temperament gradually came into everyone’s sight.

Xue Qinghe still had that calm smile on his face.

He walked steadily and calmly, and every step exuded the nobility and majesty unique to the royal family.

When Xue Qinghe slowly walked in front of Ma Hongjun, he first looked at him deeply for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

“I hope you can join the Imperial City Guard, take it as your responsibility to protect the safety of the royal family, and assist me in handling some difficult matters.”

“You have such talent. If you join the Imperial City Guard, I can promise you noble status once you become strong enough.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Ma Hongjun, in particular, was extremely shocked.

He never imagined that Xue Qinghe actually wanted to win him over to his own side. Everyone knew that the Imperial City Guard was his relatives’ team.

What is this woman thinking?

“I appreciate your kindness.”

After a brief silence, Ma Hongjun simply shook his head.

Hearing the rejection, Xue Qinghe’s expression did not change at all, and he continued to smile and said:
“It seems that Brother Hongjun has his own plans. But it’s true. With a talent like Brother Hongjun, he will be very popular wherever he goes.”

“I think I have given you a satisfactory answer about the avalanche, so I won’t bother you any more.”

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, then turned and left.

But when he left, the smile on his face faded a little.

As his footsteps gradually faded away, a gust of cold winter wind blew in through the half-open door, bringing with it a slight chill.

After the room was completely quiet, Oscar turned his head in confusion and looked at Ma Hongjun who had been standing there for a long time without moving.

“Fatty, why did you reject him?”

“It’s actually quite good to be a minor official. After all, we haven’t graduated yet.”

Hearing Oscar’s words, Ma Hongjun first let out a long sigh.

Then, he slowly said:

“Joining the Guards means becoming the Crown Prince’s man. It is tempting to be a part of the center of power, but it is too tiring.”

“I don’t want my life to be constrained by external fame or so-called status.”

After that, he added meaningfully, “Besides, you also know that the palace walls are often full of intrigues and calculations. If you are not careful, you will be involved in endless turmoil.”

After hearing this, everyone present couldn’t help but feel a sense of resonance in their hearts.

Especially Dai Mubai, who was standing not far away and remained silent from beginning to end, couldn’t help but nodded slightly at this time.

“The fat guy is right, Oscar, you are thinking too much now. Let’s talk about it after you graduate.”

Just as the atmosphere fell into silence for a moment, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Ning Rongrong’s lively big eyes.

“Hey, do you know? I heard that in the next round of competition, we will face Blazing Academy!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room instantly became lively.

As one of the four elements, the Blazing Fire Academy had already gained fame throughout the empire before Shrek made a name for himself.

The next opponent is such a strong enemy, which naturally makes the Shrek people very excited.

Just as everyone was chatting excitedly, the tent curtain was lifted.

Flanders and Liu Erlong strode in.

Glancing at everyone, Flanders cleared his throat.

“Alright, alright, stop chatting for now. The most important thing right now is to start formulating a detailed and thorough battle plan against Blazing Academy.”

“The strength of Blazing Academy should not be underestimated. Hongjun, how is the intelligence I asked you to collect going?” Flanders looked at Ma Hongjun.

The red-haired boy had already prepared himself and introduced the information of all the members of Blazing Academy in detail and clearly.

Seeing Ma Hongjun’s detailed introduction, Flanders nodded with satisfaction.

“Yes, after the previous battle, Blazing Academy will definitely not take us lightly, so we must be fully prepared.”

After saying that, he walked straight to the map and stood still, pointing at the various marks drawn on it and carefully explaining them to the Shrek people.

Outside, countless stars hanging high in the night sky flickered faintly like candlelight.

Looking into the distance, the competition venue was pitch black, but its outline was still vaguely visible.

……

Late at night, the moonlight is like frost.

Silence enveloped the entire Spirit Hall.

Ju Douluo had a relaxed smile on his face and looked at the letter in his hand with raised eyebrows.

Yu Xiaogang’s arrival before had made him nervous. Although Yu Xiaogang didn’t say anything, it was impossible for him to just pretend that nothing had happened.

After asking someone to investigate, they actually discovered some interesting things.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaogang actually wanted to seek help from the Spirit Hall to deal with his former lover and brother.

You have to know that Yu Xiaogang traveled throughout the Douluo Continent relying on the team formed by him and those two people.

I didn’t expect that those two were together, which made Yu Xiaogang look particularly funny.

Ju Douluo thought about it and finally decided to send the letter to Bibi Dong. He wanted to let the Pope know what kind of person Yu Xiaogang is now.

Even though it was late at night, Ju Douluo still quickly came to Bibi Dong.

Ju Douluo lowered his head slightly and handed the envelope over with both hands:
“Pope, this is some interesting information I have just found.”

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and only the almost inaudible breathing sound between the two continued.

Bibi Dong slowly stretched out her slender fingers and gently took the envelope.

Under the light, the content written on the paper is particularly eye-catching.

As his fingertips gently touched and gradually unfolded the letter paper, his eyes, which were originally as calm as water, were gradually disturbed by some force.

His eyes quickly scanned each line of handwriting, his brows first furrowed and then relaxed, until he read to the end, his pupils suddenly shrank.

“I never thought… After all these years, he would come to me again for something like this.”

The voice was low and calm, making it impossible to detect Bibi Dong’s inner emotions.

“Pope, I heard that Yu Xiaogang once accepted a student named Tang San, who seemed to be a member of the Haotian Sect.”

When mentioning the Haotian Sect, Ju Douluo’s eyes instantly became extremely sharp.

To them, the Haotian Sect is an old rival.

“Don’t bother.”

“I am now somewhat interested in the guy named Ma Hongjun. I heard that he is Flanders’ direct disciple and he even directly drove Yu Xiaogang’s students out of Shrek Academy. It’s really interesting.”

“This master and disciple pair have completely offended Master Yu Xiaogang and his disciple. It seems that they are not afraid of the revenge of the Haotian Sect behind them.”

Bibi Dong chuckled and was silent for a moment.

Bibi Dong slowly put down the envelope in her hand.

The whole person seems to return to the real world from a brief wandering of thoughts.
