Seeing this scene, Ya Li chuckled and said, "Hmm? You two little fellows don't have any thoughts or excitement?"
Curious, Tang Yinmeng asked, "Yeah, the way you're acting, it's as if you knew about this in advance. Elder of the Turbid World, did you tell them?"
The Turbid World Elder shook his head and denied, "Of course not, it's probably because the current inner court doesn't have much appeal."
In the past, the Shrek Academy's inner court was haloed as the cradle of geniuses among geniuses, which could attract students from the outer courtyard!
However, ever since the inner court students suffered a severe blow, it seemed to have lost that sacred touch and didn't offer any value worth entering for!
Not wanting these Elders to misunderstand, Yuanen Yehui explained softly, "It's not like that, we were actually reserved as inner court students from the beginning, so there is no surprise to entering the inner court for us!"
Yue Zhengyu, who was nearby, nodded and echoed, "That's right! After most of the inner court students were sacrificed, Yehui and I should be considered the top geniuses in the academy!"
As he said this, he did not show a modest expression because it was the truth!
This statement left the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion in silence...
Cai Yue'er pursed her lips, "Though this statement sounds arrogant, it's undeniable that the two of you have talents that are rare even within the inner court! Indeed, you have the right to make such a statement!"
"Therefore, the second task that the academy is giving you is to work hard in your cultivation, and strive to restore the former glory of the inner court!"
As long as the inner court gathers geniuses again, it will reignite hope for the students of the outer courtyard!
Hearing this passionate tone, Yue Zhengyu's face flushed with a tinge of red, his voice filled with excitement, "Academy President Cai, isn't assigning us such a great responsibility a bit too hasty?"
Although he didn't know why, a flame was ignited in his heart!
Feng Wu Yu, who could no longer stand by, interrupted directly, "We called you here today to announce this matter, so don't push your luck. Do you really think the inner court can be revitalized just by the two of you?"
This remark was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, quenching the blazing flame to nothingness!
Yun Ming, who had been silent, flickered a deep look in his eyes and said faintly, "Alright, now that the matter has been announced, you should go back first. From now on, you may enter the inner court for cultivation!"
After these words were spoken, Yuanen Yehui both bowed and said, "Yes, Pavilion Master!"
They then turned and left...
After their departure, Xu Sheng finally revealed a smile, "Pavilion Master, Elders, is it really enough to just let them enter the inner court? I fear it may not sufficiently stir their desire to work hard and improve their strength."
He had thought that upon entering the inner court, they would at least be given some kind of reward, but it turned out to be so casual!
Feng Wu Yu glanced sideways at Xu Sheng and said irritably, "Elder Xu, what kind of remark is that? Isn't the ability to enter the inner court itself a great reward?"
Previously, wanting to enter the inner court was incredibly difficult!
Which student wouldn't be overjoyed and jumping for joy upon hearing they could enter the inner court?
Xu Sheng was taken aback and noncommittally said, "Is it? Maybe."
He was just suggesting, after all, and the decision of how to proceed was not his to make!
But Cai Yue'er's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she turned to Yun Ming, "Pavilion Master, I actually think Elder Xu's suggestion is not without merit. Giving some rewards to the students newly entering the inner court might indeed inspire their motivation!"
The Turbid World Elder frowned, "Thinking about it, that does make some sense. But if we really do that, the inner court would completely lose its essence!"
Lan Muzi spoke calmly, "Given the current situation of our academy, it's even worse than we imagined. If this proposal is helpful, it can not only increase the number of inner court students but might even prompt some Tang Sect disciples to actively become students of Shrek Academy!"
Without any surprises, in a few years, or perhaps a dozen years, Shrek Academy could be revitalized!
Long Yeyue suddenly spoke up, "As for the reward, I have an idea. Now that Leng Yaozhu, former Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, has taken over as the Pagoda Master, we could discuss with her the use of high-level Spirit Ascension Platforms and Spirit Souls as rewards for the inner court students!"
As soon as these words were spoken, even Yun Ming propped up his chin, approvingly saying, "Hmm... this method is indeed feasible!"
In this way, it not only deepened the relationship between the two forces but also made the Holy Spirit Cult wary!
Seeing this, Ya Li volunteered, "Pavilion Master, let me handle this matter. I have a somewhat close relationship with Yaozhu and should be able to secure the Spirit Pagoda's resources to the greatest extent possible!"
She was very confident about this!
Yun Ming nodded slightly and then turned his gaze to Xu Sheng, "Elder Xu, I wonder if I could trouble you to protect Ya Li during this time?"
Though Ya Li was a level-99 Ultimate Douluo, she belonged to the healing class and was not even a match for an ordinary Hyper Douluo in combat!
Therefore, going to the Spirit Pagoda alone was extremely dangerous!
With Xu Sheng's protection, even if she encountered any unexpected events at the Spirit Pagoda, she could easily resolve them!
Xu Sheng glanced at him and showed little interest, indifferently saying, "Pavilion Master, I'm not anyone's bodyguard, you know!"
He always preferred to do things according to his own whims!
Hearing this, Yun Ming took a deep breath, stood up from his seat, and with a complex tone said, "Consider it a personal request from me as the Pavilion Leader, can you do that?"
After all, there was a bit of personal feeling involved when it came to Ya Li's matter!
Who else but his own wife?
Stretching lazily, Xu Sheng leisurely walked to the door, "Didn't you just say I'm not a bodyguard? Pavilion Leader, Elders, have a good chat. I'm leaving now!"
Watching his retreating figure, Yun Ming showed a helpless look...
"Elder Xu really gives no face at all!"
But this was also within his expectations.
If just a few words from him could change Xu Sheng's attitude, he wouldn't deserve to be called...
...
Inside the dormitory, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie stared curiously at Yuanen Yehui and Yue Zhengyu, blurting out, "Yuanen Yehui, Yue Zhengyu, we heard you were taken to the Sea God's Pavilion because of your duel today?"
"Come on, tell us, what exactly happened?"
Yuanen Yehui closed her beautiful eyes and spoke coldly, "What does it have to do with you? It's not very polite to pry into other people's affairs!"
Yue Zhengyu, on the other hand, was candid, "It's nothing serious. It's just that our talents have been recognized by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, and starting from tomorrow, we'll be inner court students!"
After he finished, he shrugged his shoulders, his eyes brimming with apology, "Sorry, we can't keep having fun with you guys in the outer courtyard!"
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie looked at each other and exclaimed loudly, "Damn!!!"
