The onlookers were condemning him.
Inside Shrek Academy.
Upon seeing this, the Shrek Seven Devils also frowned tightly.
They clearly felt that what Yu Chen had done was extremely inappropriate.
"No matter what, he shouldn't have laid a hand on Ah Yin this time."
"Indeed, while it's said that a man must be ruthless to achieve greatness, what Yu Chen did was truly excessive. Forget about others, even I can't stand to watch it."
The Seven Devils of Shrek felt it was inappropriate.
Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao, who had been feeling stifled just moments before, were now beaming with smiles.
"Haha, what did I say earlier? I said Yu Chen was not a good match for Ah Yin, didn't I? You all didn't believe me then, thinking I was just jealous of him. Now do you see how accurate my judgment is? My counterpart in this parallel World merely used a small trick, a simple test, and Yu Chen's true colors were exposed.
You are all too young and inexperienced, so you can't see the truth of the matter."
Tang Hao spoke with a smug expression.
Clearly, this was the outcome he most desired this time.
And seeing his demeanor, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but frown again.
She voiced her opinion.
"I don't think Yu Chen is as bad as you imagine."
Hearing her say that, Oscar naturally grew anxious and immediately retorted.
"No way, Rongrong, at a time like this, you're still trying to clear Yu Chen's name?"
"It's obvious, isn't it? Yu Chen is just the type of person who turns his back on you without a second thought. Otherwise, why would he bring that Blue Silver King out of the forest?"
"Why are you so anxious? You'll know exactly why in a moment." Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at him, finding Oscar somewhat inexplicable.
"Alright… then I'll wait and see."
Seeing her demeanor, Oscar felt both jealous and envious.
After a cold snort, he stopped talking nonsense.
He directly looked up, fixing his gaze back on the heavenly curtain.
This time, he had to make Ning Rongrong understand clearly and be utterly convinced.
As everyone thought, their eyes were filled with either anticipation or apprehension.
Meanwhile, Yu Chen, on the heavenly curtain, saw Ah Yin suddenly appear before him.
His thoughts were much simpler.
At this moment, all he felt was joy and surprise.
"Ah Yin?"
"Why are you here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
However, facing his joyful expression at this moment,
Ah Yin did not, as usual, break into a brilliant smile; instead, her eyes were tearful, and she angrily questioned him.
"Why… why would you do this, Yu Chen Gege? Didn't you say you were willing to be friends with 100,000-year Spirit Beasts? Is this how you treat your friends?"
"Treat friends?"
Ah Yin's eyes were filled with tears, and seeing her like this, Yu Chen was utterly bewildered.
He looked up, intending to say something, but before he could even open his mouth to finish his sentence,
Tang Hao had already caught up.
He spoke first, adding on:
"Yu Chen, I never thought you would be so ruthless. You want to capture Ah Yin, but you're afraid she'll escape, so you deliberately captured the Blue Silver King to use as leverage to threaten Ah Yin, right?"
"Ah Yin, don't look anymore, let's go quickly!"
"I'll take you away from here, as far as possible!"
After Tang Hao finished speaking this time,
He truly used all his strength.
He wanted to pull Ah Yin away.
Fearing that the truth would be exposed.
However, sometimes, things just happen that way; the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to occur.
This was precisely the case this time.
Ah Yin was indeed disappointed in Yu Chen due to her preconceived notions.
But she clearly hadn't reached the point of leaving sadly because of it.
What's more, besides Yu Chen and Ah Yin, there was also the meticulous Bibi Dong.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, before he could even reach out to pull Yu Chen away,
Bibi Dong had already intercepted their path.
She looked down from above, snorting coldly as she questioned them.
"Wait a minute…"
"You're just going to say a few words without beginning or end and then leave?"
"Some things are better clarified face to face. Don't let Yu Chen Gege's good intentions go to waste."
Ah Yin listened, then gave a tragic smile, "Good intentions? What good intentions could Yu Chen have this time?"
Bibi Dong retorted.
Her relationship with Ah Yin was indeed good.
But seeing Ah Yin speak ill of Yu Chen so ambiguously, her tone inevitably carried a hint of displeasure.
"How is it not good intentions? If it weren't for you, how would Yu Chen Dage have run to the depths of Sunset Forest, gathered a large number of people, just to bring back the Blue Silver Emperor and give you a surprise? And what happened? You threw a tantrum and now you want to leave? Is that how you are?"
"Give me a… surprise?"
Upon hearing this, the previously furious Ah Yin was momentarily stunned, finally realizing that something was amiss.
With a strange expression, she immediately spoke up and questioned Bibi Dong again.
"Wait, you mean to say, Yu Chen Dage wasn't trying to threaten me with the Blue Silver Emperor? He was trying to give me a surprise!?"
Bibi Dong retorted, "Isn't that obvious? If he really wanted to threaten you, what good would the Blue Silver Emperor do? It wouldn't help at all, would it?"
As she spoke, her tone carried a hint of displeasure and helplessness, making her realize for the first time that kindness wasn't always a completely good thing.
Because sometimes, being too kind can make one seem foolish.
Compared to her impatience, Yu Chen's emotions were much more stable.
After regaining his composure at this moment,
He had vaguely guessed the whole story.
However, at this moment, he didn't get angry at Ah Yin, nor did he explain anything verbally.
Instead, he pointed to the Blue Silver King, who was tied to the carriage behind them and had been moved roots and all, and added to Ah Yin:
"If you don't believe what we say, you should at least believe the Blue Silver Emperor. After all, anyone else might lie to you, but he definitely won't."
Ah Yin listened, as if waking from a dream.
She immediately turned her head and looked towards the back of the carriage.
As her gaze fell upon it,
On the carriage,
The human face on the giant vine actually opened its mouth and began to speak human words.
It explained to Ah Yin,
"Empress…"
"What Yu Chen said is all true."
"When they brought me out of the forest, that's exactly what they said. They said they felt the King was too lonely in the human World without any kin, so they hoped to bring me over to keep you company.
I truly didn't expect, Your Majesty, that you would actually make friends with a group of humans, and that they would all be so kind to you."
As the Blue Silver King spoke, the human face on the vine revealed a human-like sigh and sense of melancholy.
And while he was merely sighing and feeling melancholic,
After hearing his words,
Ah Yin's entire body couldn't help but tremble.
Her heart was filled with a mix of emotions at once.
There was both move and a sense of guilt and self-reproach for having doubted Yu Chen and the others just now.
To be honest, Yu Chen was also a bit angry.
But seeing Ah Yin's behavior, he ultimately didn't explode.
Instead, he sighed resignedly.
Then he spoke, comforting and questioning her:
"Alright, alright. What's done is done; saying more about it is meaningless. Who told you those things that made you have such an absurd idea??"
Upon hearing him say that, Ah Yin snapped out of her sadness and also realized something was amiss, subconsciously turning her head to look at Tang Hao behind her.
