Chapter 281: I Must Teach You a Lesson (Part 1)

Facts proved that his guess was correct; at present, Luo Yu still holds the position of a teacher within Mingde Hall.

And the courses taught are precisely his forging class for Spirit Metal, as well as the Soul Guidance Material Science he researches together with many Level 9 Soul Engineers of Mingde Hall.

If you were to ask where the research funding comes from, Luo Yu would say it's easy—at worst, he'll just add a few more sessions to the auction of his own dinners; the great families of Mingdu have money to burn!

This point is deeply agreed upon by all the Level 9 Soul Engineers. The money in the national treasury is limited, and the budget for Mingde Hall is also limited, but Luo Yu's potential value to the entire Sun Moon Empire is nearly infinite.

The value reflected from him has reached the point where a single word can determine the life or death of a great family. On the surface, Luo Yu is still just a close minister to His Majesty the Emperor, but even the words of the current Prime Minister and Princes may not carry as much weight as Luo Yu's!

For no other reason than that Luo Yu is someone who worked alongside Xu Tianran back when he was still a prince. Even during the last cabinet meeting convened by the old Emperor, Luo Yu presented a plan that could be called perfect. Although it was refined by Xu Tianran, everyone knew that the meeting definitely had Luo Yu's help. Even though Xu Tianran is exceptionally resourceful, with his experience, he could never have devised such a brilliant and exquisite strategy!

It is just that no one will say it out loud. Since the old Emperor himself didn't express an opinion on this, they, as subjects, are even less likely to stick their necks out.

Leaving Luo Yu's situation aside for the moment, he is not the only one whose current predicament is more painful than the old Emperor's. Although the other two great empires privately wanted to make contact with Su Yu to reach a deal with Mingde Hall, or to gain an opportunity to renegotiate with Luo Yu, they were shocked to discover that Su Yu had also gone missing?

But where is Su Yu?

At this moment, Su Yu is still in the secret chamber of the Su Family property where he once impersonated Luo Yu, quietly flipping through the news coming from within the Sun Moon Empire these days.

"Xu Tianran wants to completely control Mingde Hall in his own hands, but he hopes even more that Luo Yu can quickly take over Jing Hongchen's position?"

Looking at Luo Yu's analysis, Su Yu cannot help but ponder slightly. Now, due to the butterfly effect caused by his own transmigration, subsequent developments have undergone tremendous changes. Although he could keep himself from getting involved, and could even manage to make a fortune in silence.

But if he chose to do that, he would have no way to jump out of the schemes of a certain personage.

"Sure enough, Xu Tianran's thinking is still the same as before; he hasn't given up on his plan. If Luo Yu could support a vast empire for him, he would have no need to be constrained by his ministers, but Luo Yu's future is uncertain."

Plans can never keep up with changes. Judging from the current situation, Luo Yu has absolutely no intention of starting a family in the short term. On this point, Xu Tianran gave up struggling long ago; otherwise, he wouldn't have felt at ease throwing Xu Jiujiu, Wei Na, and Muxue directly to Luo Yu. Although there were no thoughts in that regard, there was still a little bit, more or less.

"If Xu Tianran's plan is to support Luo Yu, then judging by the current situation, his goal has been achieved; Luo Yu's prestige is now at its zenith. What exactly is his next step?"

Xu Tianran is too cautious; there is no way to use past thinking to fathom his current ideas.

"Young Master, the Heavenly Soul Empire sent a letter, saying it was for me to pass on to you. Do you think we should hold onto it for a while before replying to them?" Just as Su Yu was thinking, Old Chen delivered a letter to him.

Su Yu thought for a moment and said slowly, "No need to reply. From now on, no matter how many letters they send, just throw them to those useless people in the Su Family."

Su Yu's identity has never been a secret: a brilliant genius of Shrek Academy, half a Sun Moon Empire person, with both father and mother being disciples of the Hall Master, having a deep relationship with the Hall Master, and even having had exchanges with Luo Yu...

To a certain extent, once this line of Su Yu is connected, it is much more useful than any lousy negotiation by the Shrek organization.

It is a pity that they failed.

"Next, let's see who loses their composure first. I don't believe that with the Three Great Empires being manipulated by me into their current state, you, another transmigrator, can still sit still. I am very much looking forward to what your next move will be."

As far as the current situation goes, as fellow transmigrators, the initiative lies entirely in Su Yu's hands. No matter how Su Yu manipulates things, he has Luo Yu as a hidden line providing cover, and even using the power of the Sun Moon Empire to provide a safety net for Su Yu.

This move is something Luo Jing could absolutely never have imagined!

Because from the very beginning, Luo Jing fell into a blind spot in his thinking.

There is only one transmigrator, yet two hostile roles appeared at the same time, and both stood at the pinnacle of the same era. The former manipulates the situation, while the latter rose up within the situation by sheer force.

Obviously, if both people were transmigrators, it shouldn't be this kind of scene, not to mention that he had even asked "Him"...

Luo Yu's identity is highly suspicious. Luo Jing even considered a conjecture that was completely impossible, yet could fit the current situation.

Su Yu is Luo Yu...

Or, Luo Yu was supported by Su Yu, and behind Luo Yu is Su Yu...

However, this idea was too outrageous and was directly rejected by Luo Jing. If that were really the case, Su Yu would not be constrained by the Star Luo Empire, but would instead join the Sun Moon Empire directly. With Luo Yu's ability, he could completely get close to Xu Tianran and then control Xu Tianran...

Star Luo Empire, Luo Family.

"Previously, the Three Great Empires all said there were traitors. Although all possibilities were ruled out later, I still feel that Su Yu, this guy, definitely had a hand in it. It is impossible for the Sun Moon Empire to be so familiar with everything about the Three Great Empires in the original work, especially the Burrowing Soul Guidance Device; this point was not detected by the Sun Moon Empire at all in the original work."

"It seems that this Su Yu and Luo Yu really have problems. Even if Luo Yu is a product of the butterfly effect, that earth-shattering battle that night in Mingdu definitely has something to do with Su Yu. I don't believe the old Emperor would suddenly die at such a critical moment. Based on my research on Xu Tianran, this kid wouldn't go so far as to kill his father..."

Luo Jing is also thinking about how to break the deadlock, but the more he thinks, the more outrageous it feels. A perfectly good Dou II world has now turned into this unrecognizable state. He now seriously suspects that "He" did it on purpose?

Even if things have become complicated, he still has to give it a try.

"System, come out."

…………

"If my guess is correct, at the very least, you have no way to continue staying in the Three Great Empires. Su Yu, let me see what other hidden means you have. Although you were the first to make contact with the Yuan'en Family, if you think you can turn things around by relying on that little bit of power from the Yuan'en Family, I can only say you are too naive..."

…………

"Still not coming out? You kid are quite good at hiding. Enduring for so long, and even now there is still no news at all. I admire you. However, I am quite curious about what exactly you got from 'Him' that allowed you to endure until now."

Su Yu watched the troops patrolling in Mingdu and muttered to himself: "The more chaotic things are, the better the timing for laying out plans. If you miss this critical juncture right now, I think even if you possess the power to rival me later, you still won't be able to stop my pace."

"Because, the Sun Moon Empire's No. 3 Experimental Subject is about to succeed..."

The No. 3 Experimental Subject is one of the Sun Moon Empire's highest secrets. Apart from those Level 9 Soul Engineers, only Xu Tianran, Ju Zi, and Luo Yu know about it.

Su Yu and Luo Yu count as one person.

………………

"What, you say that in recent days, there are rumors in the Three Great Empires that Su Yu is the traitor who caused our plan to fail?" Jiang Nannan looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief, her beautiful eyes full of astonishment.

News has arrived in the last few days. For some reason, within the Star Luo Empire, news of unknown origin has started to spread one after another.

The content of the news is as follows:

Su Yu, heir to the Su Family of the Star Luo Empire, member of the championship team of the previous Douluo Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, and a leading figure of Shrek.

Ever since returning from the exchange study in Mingdu, he has disappeared from the public eye. The Su Family has extensive and close cooperation with Mingde Hall, and the Su Family is even able to sell Soul Guidance Devices that the Sun Moon Empire has banned from being sold to the Three Great Empires. The reason why the Su Family has such close cooperation with Mingde Hall is as follows.

The Su Family Head, Su Xinyuan, studied at Shrek Academy in his youth, was later sent by the previous Su Family Head to the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineering Academy, and later became a student of Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen. He met Mingde Hall student Mu Hanyan and returned to the Star Luo Empire to marry after graduation. Since then, he has cooperated closely with the Sun Moon Empire's Mingde Hall.

For unknown reasons, Su Yu refused to participate in this All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Soul Fighting Tournament, indirectly leading to the defeat of the Tang Sect Battle Team and the Shrek Battle Team. Is his withdrawal an act of loyalty to the Sun Moon Empire?

The Three Great Empires suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Mingdu, and the only person with the opportunity to leak the plan was Su Yu. If it wasn't Su Yu, then why were only the Shrek students able to safely retreat from Mingdu?

And why were they able to avoid the Soul Guidance Legion outside Mingdu?

If Su Yu is not the mole, then how are all the above events to be explained?

The news summarized is just like this; every point is targeting Su Yu. Regarding Su Yu's withdrawal from the tournament, that in itself is a very good point of attack.

"Ah, how could this be? The Class Monitor is definitely not that kind of person? If he really were a mole for the Sun Moon Empire, how could the Sea God Pavilion not have found out? Could it be that those guys spreading rumors are more capable than Xuan Lao and the others!" After learning the news, Xiaoxiao clenched her fists in anger. If she weren't currently in the Sun Moon Empire, she would have wanted to rush back to the Star Luo Empire.
