After hearing what the former had said, Bi Ji also didn't say much, "Some means? Indeed, with your mastery of spatial abilities, even after entering the ruins, that War God Hall's Ao Rui probably won't be able to detect it!"

"However, I wonder what news you have gathered, Master. Why are the federation's people occupying that area of ruins?"

Especially considering that it might also have the consent of those people from Shrek Academy!

Gu Yuena pursed her lips and spoke to herself, "Bi Ji, do you know how that area of ruins came to be?"

Bi Ji was stunned for a moment, "Of course I know, wasn't it left behind from that battle between your Teacher Xu and the Abyssal Emperor?"

"But, our Spirit Pagoda conducted a thorough investigation a long time ago, and confirmed that there shouldn't be anything left there!"

As far as this matter is concerned, any sect or power with a little bit of fame should be clear about it, not to mention the Spirit Pagoda!

Gu Yuena nodded, "True, those ruins are precisely what were left from the battle between Teacher Xu and the Abyssal Emperor, and indeed, there is nothing worth noting there!"

Bi Ji continued to press, "If that's the case, the federation should have no reason to occupy that place!"

Gu Yuena chuckled, "Bi Ji, the federation's occupation of that place is not for the sake of anything there!"

Bi Ji grew even more puzzled, and was even starting to get exasperated, "Not for the things there? Then what for? Master, stop keeping me in suspense."

Gu Yuena didn't say much, cutting straight to the chase, "Their real purpose is actually to open the passage to that space, trying to connect to the past to rescue Teacher Xu!"

Bi Ji's entire expression froze…

Seeing her expression, Gu Yuena unusually extended her hand to rest it on her shoulder…

"Bi Ji, this answer surprises you, doesn't it? I originally thought that the federation had reached some secret cooperation with Shrek Academy behind the scenes!"

"Now it seems that Shrek Academy is just slightly behind, and so they entrusted this matter to the federation!"

Bi Ji finally came back to her senses, "That's... truly beyond belief. Returning to the past was only possible because your Teacher Xu and the Abyssal Emperor reached the legendary God King realm."

"The federation thinks they can achieve this just by opening the space? Isn't that a bit too foolish?"

She even suspected it was just an excuse!

Gu Yuena also expressed agreement, "Yes, the chances of success are very slim, but… I have a fairly good idea of whose idea this was!"

Bi Ji's heart jolted, "Master, you don't mean to say it's that Tang Wulin, do you?"

Gu Yuena affirmed, "Hmm… Other than Wulin, there shouldn't be anyone else who cares about this matter!"

However, to put it into action, it must also have the consent of the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!

Bi Ji hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Since that's the case… Master, do we still take action against those ruins?"

Without a doubt, this proposal was rejected…

"There is no need for that. If the federation can really open the space and welcome Teacher Xu back, it would also be a good thing for our Spirit Pagoda!"

"At the very least, it can completely eliminate the threat of the evil Soul Masters of the Douling Empire!"

She had witnessed the strength of Xu Sheng and the Ghost Emperor; the two were simply not on the same level!

If it came to a fight, it would be a one-sided crush!

Bi Ji also roughly understood the importance of Xu Sheng in the former's heart, "I see… It seems that Teacher Xu holds a high position in your heart!"

Gu Yuena suddenly looked upwards, murmuring, "Yes, without Teacher Xu, my strength would never have been able to reach the level it has today!"

"I would have even died in the human world long ago, and even Wulin cannot compare with Teacher Xu in my heart!"

With that thought, she suddenly shook her head…

He immediately ordered, "Alright, Bi Ji, you dispatch someone to Shrek Academy and the federation right away, and tell them that our Spirit Pagoda is willing to lend a hand with this matter!"

"Yes, my lord!"

…

Shrek Academy!

Inside Sea God's Pavilion!

The assembly, engrossed in discussing important matters, was suddenly interrupted by a disciple bursting in…

"Report to the Pavilion Master and the Elders, I have an urgent report!"

Cai Yue'er's brow furrowed slightly, "How come these disciples have become more and more unruly? After all, this is the Sea God's Pavilion!"

Yuanen Zhentian expressed agreement, "Indeed, although the Sea God's Pavilion isn't what it used to be, a minimum level of respect must still be observed. We cannot allow every piece of news to warrant an intrusion!"

Ya Li, however, spoke in a gentle tone, "I think the student's actions are not without merit, if it's a major issue then of course it should be treated specially!"

Lan Muzi touched his forehead and reminded, "Well... no matter what, this isn't the time to discuss these matters, we should first listen to the important news!"

The attitudes of the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion showed no change…

The situation on the Continent was tense, war seemed possible, so such minor issues were not of great importance!

Tang Wulin covered his mouth and coughed, "As for the matter of protocol, we will decide on it later!"

"This student, what urgent matter do you have to report?"

Upon hearing this, the inner court student began, "Pavilion Master, it's like this, we just received a message from the Spirit Pagoda!"

At the mention of the Spirit Pagoda, Tang Wulin immediately became serious...

"Oh? A message from the Spirit Pagoda? QUICKLY, spill the beans!"

Since the last rejection, Shrek Academy had almost no contact with the Spirit Pagoda!

This could very well be a golden opportunity to thaw the ice with Gu Yue!

The former nodded and continued, "The Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda said that she is aware of the cooperation between the federation and Shrek Academy, and the research personnel of the Spirit Pagoda are willing to offer help!"

Tang Wulin asked urgently, "And then?"

The inner court student shook his head, "That's all, Pavilion Master!"

In that instant, the fiery hope that had just begun to kindle in Tang Wulin was extinguished. He slumped backward, his eyes devoid of spirit...

Xie Xie smacked his lips, "That's it. Looking at Wulin like this, clearly, he's heartbroken!"

Yue Zhengyu lamented, "This is a case of the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I bet Wulin thought Gu Yue wanted to see him."

Ye Xinglan suddenly chimed in, "Hey, now that Wulin's turned into a salted fish without a dream, stop teasing him or be careful, just like last time!!"

Xu Xiaoyan waved her hand and said, "Hey ya, Wulin's heart isn't frail, even though it's just, it doesn't mean she doesn't yearn for Wulin, right?"

Xu Lizhi looked at the current atmosphere and added, "Er... Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe Gu Yue is just too embarrassed, Wulin, why don't you make another trip to the Spirit Pagoda??"

"There's no overnight feud between spouses, surely after having a cold war for so long, she must have cooled off!"
