On the other side, Shen Yi, who had left the Sea God's Lake matchmaking event, suddenly looked up at the sky, her sadness so touching it was hard for anyone not to feel heartache…
Muttering to herself, "Xu Sheng, you fool, if you don't like me, why did you even attend the Sea God's Lake matchmaking event!"
Just to break my heart, you had to say those words in front of everyone!
Now it's over, I truly have no reason or dignity to cling to the past!
Just then, a familiar voice sounded behind her, "Shen Yi, I knew you would come here."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi immediately turned around and quickly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "Tea... Teacher, why... why are you here?"
Turbid World looked at her with complex eyes, "Of course, I came to see how you are…"
This child was still the same, not wanting others to see her like this even when she had suffered such grievance!
Shen Yi's delicate body shivered, forcing a smile she said, "Teacher, I'm fine, you should go back to the Sea God's Lake matchmaking event!"
Turbid World shook his head, his voice soft and comforting, "No need, the matchmaking event at Sea God's Lake surely has Elders to watch over it, what I'm most worried about right now is you, Shen Yi."
Shen Yi's Beautiful Eyes flickered, "Teacher…"
Indeed, the one who cared about her the most was still her teacher…
Turbid World walked up beside her, extending his hand to gently rub her head, "If you want to cry, just cry, I know the feeling of rejection isn't good!"
When he was rejected by Ya Li, he had been heartbroken for a whole half month before he got over it…
Shen Yi's expression eased a bit, muttering, "Teacher… I'm not a child anymore!"
Turbid World answered decisively, "No, no matter how you change, in my eyes you will always be a child!"
Shen Yi's heart couldn't express how touched she was, but she still nodded, "Teacher… thank you for coming to comfort me, but I really am fine now, it's just hard to accept for the moment."
Turbid World pursed his lips, inquiring, "So, what do you plan to do next?"
Shen Yi sighed, "If Xu Sheng doesn't accept me, I can't force him, so I want to focus on cultivation just like my senior!"
Turbid World teased, "But you're not getting any younger, first you should consider finding a partner."
Seeing this, Shen Yi responded with a touch of melancholy, "Teacher, I just went through this ordeal, where would I have the mindset to think about that!"
Turbid World stroked his beard, laughing lightly, "Hahaha, I'm just joking, Shen Yi, no matter what decision you make, your teacher supports you."
After a pause, he continued, "If you really want to concentrate on cultivation, I'll talk to Elder Cai about it! I'll have your duties transferred to another teacher."
Shen Yi gave a slight nod, "Then I'll trouble you with that, Teacher!"
Turbid World put his hands behind his back, "What's this formality between us? Come on, let's take a walk together, we teacher and student haven't had a chat in a long time."
"Yes, Teacher!"
With that said, Shen Yi forced herself not to think about the events that had just happened…
…
"I didn't expect this time there would actually be so many couples successfully pairing up, the Sea God's Lake matchmaking event isn't as difficult as they say!"
"Mmhmm, Sister Yuanen's performance in the bridal snatching event was just too cool, Senior Xie Xie was embarrassed beyond words!"
"Which couple do you think is the most compatible?"
"I think it's Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, they both look like a perfect match, and their strength is formidable!"
"Obviously, it's Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan, they're just too sweet, not sparing a thought for us singles at all!"
"It's a pity that Teacher Xu didn't choose any of the female students and got eliminated right away, without even participating in the bridal snatching event!"
"Isn't that a no-brainer? Teacher Shen has already left, how could Teacher Xu possibly continue to participate in the Sea God Matchmaking Festival?"
In the center of the Sea God Matchmaking Festival!
Cai Yue'er called out, "Silence!"
The next second, the entire venue of the Sea God Matchmaking Festival fell silent...
Cai Yue'er nodded her head, looking towards the twenty-something couples across Sea God's Lake, and announced, "I declare that this Sea God Matchmaking Festival has come to a successful close, with a total of twenty-one pairs of partners having joined hands, breaking the record of previous years! This achievement deserves commendation!"
"Furthermore, if any of you students wish to personally participate in the next Sea God Matchmaking Festival, then work hard to improve your strength and enter the Inner Court as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, many of the lower-grade students all showed bitter faces...
One of the male students exclaimed in astonishment, "Ah? Only inner court students can participate in the next Sea God Matchmaking Festival?"
Another male student held his forehead, "Doesn't that mean we don't even have the qualifications to watch?"
"No way, I was already full of confidence and ready to take part in the next Sea God Matchmaking Festival, but now you're telling me only inner court students can participate!"
"Isn't that normal? The reason the outer courtyard students were allowed to join this Sea God Matchmaking Festival was to use this event to ease the tense atmosphere of the academy. Such good fortune won't come again next time!"
"Hehe, I'm already a four soul rings Soul Ancestor; I have a chance to enter the Inner Court next year, hahaha!"
...
Wulin smiled at everyone, "Phew… The Sea God Matchmaking Festival is over, how does everyone feel?"
Although the process was perilous, at least he and Gu Yue had finally pierced through that last layer of window paper!
From now on, they were an official couple!
Yue Zhengyu stretched lazily, saying leisurely, "The feeling, of course, is fantastic!"
Having successfully pursued Xu Xiaoyan, he was now incredibly pleased...
Xu Xiaoyan propped up her chin, "Aside from some surprises, it's mostly happiness!"
Wu Siduo said expressionlessly, "I don't feel much of anything…"
But Xu Lizhi was looking at Ye Xinglan, saying one word at a time, "Thanks to the Sea God Matchmaking Festival, I was able to be with Sister Xinglan!"
Otherwise, he would have had no idea when he'd understand her true feelings!
As for Xie Xie, he awkwardly turned to Yuanen Yehui and said, "That… Ye Hui, during the bride-kidnapping segment, you really didn't have to protect me!"
Feeling embarrassed as a man who needed a woman's help, he was rather ashamed!
Yuanen Yehui's eyebrows slightly raised, "What's the matter? You think there's a problem?"
Xie Xie shook his head and waved his hand, "No problem, just that doing this, others might think I'm living off a woman…"
Yuanen Yehui paused for a moment, seemingly pondering seriously before responding after a while, "Hmm, then I'll give you a chance to perform in the future!"
Despite her typically proud nature, this had put the former in an awkward situation. If they wanted to be together, it was indeed necessary to make some changes...
This short statement suddenly made Xie Xie feel that all his efforts were worthwhile...
He murmured inwardly, "Ye Hui..."
