Chapter 1622: Gu Yue's Guilt (Please Subscribe)_1

Xie Xie also propped up his chin and said, "It seems that the several hundred disciples from the Tang Sect Branch... no, it should be the disciples from the Tang Sect's headquarters are all skilled in soul guidance devices..."

However, Ye Xinglan glanced at him and said, "It's not that simple. Since the Tang Sect Branch brought up this condition, how could they possibly send over those with exceptional talents!"

Wu Siduo nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the talented disciples of the Tang Sect would definitely be retained by themselves."

It was then that Xie Xie shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "No matter what, it has nothing to do with us. Even though we joined the Tang Sect, at most we are just nominal disciples!"

At that moment, Xu Sheng finally walked into the classroom, looking slightly surprised as he said, "Hmm? Is class over already?"

After he took Yue Zhengyu and Yuanen Yehui to the far northern lands, he stayed back to observe for a while...

He didn't expect to be late, no, he should say he had forgotten...

Upon seeing him arrive, the students in the classroom all spoke up,"Teacher Xu!"

Tang Wulin and the others naturally saw him too and quickly shifted their attention from the Tang Sect to Xu Sheng, and gathered around him...

Xu Xiaoyan said with a face full of grievance, "Teacher Xu, where have you just been? You actually made all of the students wait for an entire period for nothing!"

Xie Xie clutched his chest, feigning heartache as he said, "Exactly, exactly. Teacher Xu, could it be that our class is no longer important in your eyes? It's so heartbreaking!"

Tang Wulin coughed and said, "Xie Xie, you're exaggerating too much. It's not the first time Teacher Xu has been late for class, but it's still the first time it's happened like today."

Gu Yue blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "It seems so. Perhaps Teacher Xu had something important to do."

All the other teachers taught theoretical knowledge, only Xu Sheng was different, emphasizing more on actual combat!

Therefore, everyone would be especially serious for every one of his classes!

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng smiled and scratched his hair, "Sorry, sorry, there was some important matter to handle, and that's why I was delayed!"

After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, how do you feel after returning from the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform?"

Xie Xie deliberately raised his voice a few notches and coughed, "This needs to be mentioned in detail. With our concerted efforts, we managed to defeat a soul beast with a cultivation level of fifty thousand years."

Because of his loud voice, the other students in the classroom also heard everything clearly!

They all exclaimed, "Holy shit, is that for real? Tang Wulin and the others defeated a fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast in the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform?"

"They must be bragging. If it were me who saw a soul beast with fifty thousand years of cultivation, I'm afraid my legs would kneel."

"That's amazing! Despite entering this class together, Tang Wulin and the others have improved so fast!"

Luo Guixing clenched his teeth and said, "Damn it... the gap between them and us is getting bigger and bigger!"

Next to him, Zheng Yiran clicked her tongue disdainfully and said, "What's so impressive about that? It's mostly Wu Siduo's accomplishment!"

Yang Nianxia shook his head and explained earnestly, "Yiran, that might not be the case. The performance of Tang Wulin and the others during the exchange competition and the youth soul master competition completely surpassed us!"

Xu Yucheng added, "Especially with Wu Siduo joining them, they are now completely the most sought-after in this class!"

In contrast, those of them who had the highest soul power ranks when they entered the class had their auras completely overshadowed!

Hearing these discussions, Tang Wulin and the others showed a tinge of pride on their faces...

However, Xu Sheng casually encouraged them, "A fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast, huh? Not bad, keep it up!"

Tang Wulin asked in confusion, "Teacher Xu, why don't you seem surprised at all?"

Xu Sheng glanced at him and said, "Why should I be surprised? It's just defeating a fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast. No one knows your overall strength better than I do!"

If they were to break through another major stage in their soul power ranks, they could even contend with a soul beast with seventy thousand years of cultivation!

Ye Xinglan's mouth twitched, "Although we're happy to hear you say this, Teacher Xu… it feels a bit… off?"

Xu Xiaoyan's throat choked up a bit, "Yeah, we wanted to give you this surprise and get your praise, but we didn't expect such a lukewarm response, sob sob sob..."

The others very tacitly moved a step away, indicating they didn't know her!

Seeing this, Xu Sheng, somewhat helplessly, reached out to rub her little head, pacifying her, "Okay, okay, Xiao Yan is the best, alright now?"

Xu Xiaoyan pouted and crossed her arms, "Teacher Xu, you're brushing this off too easily."

However, they knew when to stop and did not say anything more...

Xu Sheng's gaze turned to Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, and he spoke calmly, "Alright, that's enough idle chatter. Wulin, Gu Yue, please come to my office. There's something I need to tell you."

Gu Yue and Tang Wulin exchanged a glance, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes, then quickly followed...

They had a premonition that this matter was extremely important!

"It looks like Teacher Xu is probably going to give them private lessons again, huh huh huh!"

"I don't think so... With Teacher Xu's expression, he seems very serious."

"Hmm, most likely."

...

After reaching Xu Sheng's office, Tang Wulin could no longer restrain the confusion in his heart and eagerly asked, "Teacher Xu, what exactly do you need to tell us?"

Gu Yue was also staring intently at him, waiting for an answer...

Xu Sheng spoke at a measured pace, "Don't be so agitated, sit down first."

The two hesitated for a moment, but still sat down on the long bench...

Then, Xu Sheng began, "Before I discuss this matter, I need to ask you both a question."

Gu Yue's complexion darkened, "Teacher Xu, please ask!"

In her heart, there was a very ominous feeling...

Tang Wulin nodded earnestly, "If it's something we know, we will definitely answer!"

Although they did not know his purpose, Teacher Xu would definitely not harm them!

"When you two first met at East Sea Academy, there must have been a certain connection between you, right?"

Gu Yue's pupils suddenly contracted, "Could Teacher Xu already know about my identity?"

With this thought, she did not immediately choose to answer!

Tang Wulin, on the other side, decisively admitted, "Yes, Teacher Xu, it was a very strange feeling, as if we attracted each other!"

Since Teacher Xu already knew the secret of his second Martial Soul, there was no point in hiding it!

Seeing this, Gu Yue felt an immense pressure in her heart and inwardly gritted her teeth, "This fool, why does he speak without thinking!"

Xu Sheng's eyes, flickering with dark light, stared directly at Gu Yue, asking, "And you, Gu Yue?"

Gu Yue pressed her lips together, trying to appear as calm as possible, "I... I didn't feel it; it must have been Tang Wulin's misperception!"

In this uncertain situation, she still chose to conceal the truth...

Tang Wulin exclaimed in shock, "Gu Yue, how can you..."

Before he could finish, Gu Yue stood up and interrupted, "Teacher Xu, I have some business at the Blacksmith Association, so I will leave first!"

With that, she left the office...

Tang Wulin also stood up, saying awkwardly, "Sorry, Teacher Xu, I... I should leave too!"

Xu Sheng closed his eyes without a change in expression, "Mmh, go ahead..."

As the sound of their footsteps grew farther and farther away...

"It seems, the time hasn't come yet!"
