Chapter 3203: Promise_1

And so, after several hours of continuous deliberation, the Council Hall finally quieted down...

Sect Master Zang shifted his gaze to Hall Master Guan and reminded, "Hall Master Guan, now that the meeting has concluded, shouldn't you announce the final results?"

Upon hearing this, the others naturally turned their eyes in the same direction...

Under the scrutiny of so many pairs of eyes, Hall Master Guan promptly stood up, his expression unchanged as he declared, "Since Sect Master Zang has spoken, I shall simply summarize!"

"Based on the outcomes of this meeting, I, Hall Master Guan, on behalf of the federation, have decided to use God-Slaying Level Soul cannonballs to bomb the Douling Empire!"

"Additionally, regarding the differences between the federation and the Spirit Pagoda, we will set them aside for now. After we deal with the Ghost Emperor and the other evil Soul Masters, we will plan our next steps!!"

The reason he could come to a final decision so quickly was naturally due to other reasons!

As expected, after his words fell, the gazes of the others once again converged on Tang Wulin...

The latter coughed slightly and also spoke up, "Since Hall Master Guan has already said so, I, as the Pavilion Master of the Sea God's Pavilion, can assure you that the Spirit Pagoda will not take any action against the federation until all the evil Soul Masters in the Douling Empire are eradicated!"

"If the Spirit Pagoda breaks this promise, Shrek Academy will provide full support to the federation!"

He knew that making such a commitment was of great risk to Shrek Academy!

But it was only this way that he could completely dispel Hall Master Guan's thoughts of using God-Slaying Level soul-guided missiles against the Spirit Pagoda!

Xu Lizhi, from below, whispered, "Um... Wulin made such a promise, is that really okay? After all, Gu Yue is completely oblivious to this matter!"

Xie Xie raised his eyebrows, "I think it should... be fine, right? Wulin and Gu Yue are partners, she probably wouldn't refuse such a thing!"

Yue Zhengyu crossed his arms, his expression complex as he said, "That's not necessarily true. Although they are partners, we all are aware of Gu Yue's character. If she makes a decision, no one can change it, not even Wulin!!"

Xu Xiaoyan pursed her lips and sighed, "Actually... Gu Yue probably doesn't have the right to refuse. The Spirit Pagoda is her life's work; if it were really to be bombarded by God-Slaying Level Soul cannonballs, all efforts would go down the drain!"

"Even just for that reason, I believe she would adhere to the promise!!"

Ya Li turned to look at Cai Yue'er, "Elder Cai, what do you think about this? Wulin made this decision without consulting any of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!"

Yuan En Zhentian chimed in, "Yes, if the Spirit Pagoda goes back on its word, Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda would have to stand opposed, which is a bit too extreme!"

Lan Muzi's face looked troubled as he said, "Wulin's actions are too impulsive; we can't treat Shrek Academy as a stake in a bet!!"

Originally, he supported Tang Wulin to the position of Pavilion Master because he thought Tang Wulin was mature enough and capable of taking responsibility.

But the action he had taken now was somewhat disappointing!!

Tang Yinmeng wore a hesitant expression, "I feel... that Wulin isn't the type to be reckless; he probably discussed this with Gu Yue beforehand!"

"Besides, as the Pavilion Master, Wulin has the ultimate decision-making power over Shrek Academy, which is distinct from us being merely Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion!"

Simply put, even if he made a unilateral decision, they could only choose to comply...

Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er glanced at them all and, instead of offering her own opinion, counter-questioned, "Elders, has Wulin made any incorrect decisions since becoming the Pavilion Master?"

Hearing this, they all shook their heads...

Even thinking back from the very beginning, they could not find a single occasion where Tang Wulin had made a wrong decision!

Only then did Cai Yue'er reveal a slight smile, "In that case, at times like this, we should trust him!"

"As the Pavilion Master, he has his own judgments and considerations. He isn't making this decision just because of his close relationship with Gu Yue!"

Tang Wulin was Yun Ming's chosen successor for the Pavilion Master, and he would surely not disappoint!

As these words were spoken, everyone seemed to realize something, and their attitudes changed immediately...

Ya Li took a deep breath, and said with utmost seriousness, "Elder Cai, you're right, we should support Wulin!!"

Amidst the discussions, Guan Yue had already made a response...

"Then, thank you very much, Hall Master Tang. If the Spirit Pagoda really does something amiss, with the assistance of Shrek Academy, it will be much easier to handle!"

Tang Wulin shook his head, "Hall Master Guan is being too polite. There's nothing to thank me for. Maintaining the peace of the Soul Land is something every power should do!"

"However, before releasing the God-Slaying Level soul-guided missile, please make sure to notify other powers in advance!!"

Guan Yue patted her chest in assurance, "Naturally, when the time comes, we will definitely inform the esteemed members of Shrek Academy at the first opportunity!"

"So, this meeting is hereby concluded!!"

...

After returning to Shrek Academy...

Tang Wulin found himself being stared at intently by Xie Xie and the others...

A bit puzzled, he couldn't help asking, "Um, why is everyone looking at me like that? It's making me somewhat uncomfortable!"

Xie Xie narrowed his eyes, "Wulin, you're asking why?? It's obviously because of what you said in the Federation Parliament Hall!"

"Isn't it time you gave us an explanation!"

Tang Wulin thought it over and expressed his surprise, "Oh, that's what you're talking about. Was there any problem with what I said?"

Yue Zhengyu said annoyed, "Wulin, at this point, don't play dumb with us. Making that kind of promise on the spot, have you really consulted with Gu Yue?"

"If she refuses and insists on taking action against the federation, our Shrek Academy will end up as enemies of the Spirit Pagoda!!"

Xu Xiaoyan and Ye Xinglan also reminded him, "Yeah, Wulin, even though you are the Pavilion Master of the Sea God's Pavilion, shouldn't you have discussed this matter with us, no, with the Elders beforehand?"

"Wulin, I also think what you did was a bit over the top. Maybe you should explain it to Elder Cai and the others?"

Only then did Tang Wulin have a sudden realization...

So everyone thought the words he spoke in the Council Hall were said on a whim!

He immediately answered, "Everyone, don't worry. I will naturally go and explain things clearly to Elder Cai and the rest!"

"As for Gu Yue, I believe she is very aware of the pros and cons, and shouldn't refuse!!"

Just as Gu Yue understands him, he likewise understands her!

An action like this, which is beneficial to the Spirit Pagoda and devoid of disadvantages, has no reason to be refused!!

Otherwise, it would be cutting off her own path of retreat!!

After hearing this, Xu Lizhi chuckled heartily, "I just knew that Wulin must have thought it through before speaking. There's no need for everyone to worry!!"
