Xu Xiaoyan murmured as she listened to their discussion, "I think, since the chances of reaching the island by boat are very slim, why don't we fly over from the sky?"
At these words, Tang Wulin paused for a moment and asked in confusion, "Xiao Yan, what do you mean? Fly over how?"
Xu Xiaoyan explained softly, "With the rapid development of technology on the Continent nowadays, we already have something like soul airplanes. If we could get one of those, we should be able to safely reach the island."
Upon hearing her words, Xie Xie exclaimed in astonishment, "Soul airplane? That thing isn't as easily rented as a ship, and... it is still under military control! Basically, it's not available for public use!"
Ye Xinglan sighed and said, "Yeah, and none of us know how to pilot a soul airplane. Even if we had one, we wouldn't be able to use it."
Wu Siduo suddenly chimed in, "The main point is... where are we supposed to borrow one from? There shouldn't be any soul airplanes nearby, right?"
Yuanen Yehui's Beautiful Eyes lit up as she said, "No, I remember there is a Northsea Legion in Northsea City, which is also a major legion. They must be equipped with essential things like soul airplanes!"
Everyone spoke in unison, "Northsea Legion?"
In that instant, their eyes brightened...
If the Northsea Legion truly had soul airplanes, then their idea might not be impossible after all!
However, Tang Wulin hesitated, "But the Northsea Legion is a major legion; would they really agree to such a thing with no benefit to themselves?"
Xie Xie's mouth quirked up, "No, no, no... Wulin, you're underestimating the identity of a Shrek Academy Inner Court student. If we reveal our identity and agree to stay under the surveillance of the Northsea Legion, maybe they would indeed lend us one!"
Yuanen Yehui affirmed, "Yeah, the identity of a Shrek Academy Inner Court student has influence across the entire Soul Land!"
Yue Zhengyu urgently said, "Whether we can borrow one or not, we won't know until we try! If it doesn't work, then we'll think of something else!"
Compared to taking a ship to the island, he preferred a soul airplane!
Not for anything else, but because it could avoid a lot of sea soul beasts, and safety would certainly be a notch higher!
Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "Once the issue of setting up a soul airplane is resolved, how will we land from the sky?"
Yuanen Yehui, who had already considered this, said with certainty, "Yue Zhengyu and I can fly for short periods. We could glide down with everyone in a slow landing when the time comes!"
"Of course, if any accidents happen along the way, with One-Word Battle Armor to protect us, we should be able to avoid getting hurt."
Xu Xiaoyan took a deep breath, "To be honest, I'm kind of scared of descending from the sky..."
Yue Zhengyu coughed lightly, leaned in close to her, and said word by word, "Xiao Yan, what's there to be afraid of? I'll hold onto you when it's time."
Xu Xiaoyan said tenderly, "Okay!"
Xie Xie, who had involuntarily consumed this public display of affection, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm saying... we're discussing important matters right now. Can you two stop flaunting your love?"
They had only become a couple not long ago, and already they were inseparable!!
After that, he turned to Yuanen Yehui without any dignity and said, "Ye Hui, you'll hold onto me as well when the time comes, okay? I'm... a bit... afraid of heights!"
Yuanen Yehui glanced at him and, seeing an expression on his face that did not seem like a lie, responded indifferently, "Fine, but if you move around too much, I won't hesitate to drop you!"
Xie Xie rejoiced and immediately promised, "I won't move a muscle!"
As a man, how could he be afraid of heights? It was all an act!
After all, getting to hold Ye Hui's hand wasn't something he could do all the time!
And Tang Wulin, seeing the relationships between them, had a somewhat melancholic look in his eyes...
Xu Lizhi, noticing Tang Wulin's somewhat dejected appearance, quietly asked, "Wulin, are you missing Gu Yue?"
Tang Wulin didn't deny it and said with a wry smile, "Yeah, I don't even know where Gu Yue is now or what her situation is..."
Of course, he was even more eager to know whether she had thought of him!
Xie Xie and the others also noticed this and were not as sickeningly sweet as before!
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, "Alright, that settles it. If we successfully borrow it, we'll use a soul-guidance airplane; if not, we'll have to think of another way, or use a ship!"
...
Inside the Spirit Pagoda, many staff members were discussing, "Who would have thought that after Gu Yue became a proxy council member, she would be so formidable!"
"Yes, even though she's young, it's said that she dared to directly question the council members in meetings about privately selling Spirit Souls."
"Shh, keep your voices down, don't let the other council members hear you!"
"What's the harm in that? Other council members already hold high positions, but they only think of themselves and never consider the Spirit Pagoda!"
Suddenly, a female voice rang out beside them, "What are you talking about? Sounds fun?"
When they came to their senses and saw that it was Leng Yaozhu, they were immediately startled...
"P... Pagoda Master, we... we weren't saying anything!"
Leng Yaozhu reminded them, "It's working hours now. Don't discuss these trivial matters. By the way, where's Gu Yue?"
One of the staff hastily replied, "Council Member Gu should still be in the office, reviewing today's Spirit Soul sales!"
A pleased look appeared on Leng Yaozhu's cheeks, "That child, starting so early as always!"
Since Gu Yue became a proxy council member, the artificial Soul Rings created by the Spirit Pagoda had all passed through her hands, which also prevented the loss of Spirit Souls at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters!
Even those council members who she typically had to turn a blind eye to dared not make any underhanded moves!
Of course, this also made them harbor great resentment towards Gu Yue, constantly seeking to impeach her!
Straight away, Leng Yaozhu arrived outside of Gu Yue's office, and knocked on the door...
Only after hearing the "Come in!" did she push the door open and enter...
Gu Yue was seen sitting in her chair, seriously reviewing the Spirit Soul information on the desk...
After a glance at her, Gu Yue gently said, "Pagoda Master."
But she did not stop the work in her hands...
Leng Yaozhu pursed her lips, remarking wistfully, "Gu Yue, you really don't need to work so hard. After all, you're just a proxy council member!"
Without changing her expression, Gu Yue replied, "Hmm, don't you want to train me to be the master of the Spirit Pagoda, Pagoda Master? Or was that just a joke?"
Leng Yaozhu smiled faintly, "Of course, it's true. However, seeing you work so hard still makes me feel somewhat uneasy!"
After a pause, she chuckled again, "Don't you want to join your companions in the military training?"
Gu Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, "Are you investigating me?"
Leng Yaozhu shook her head, refuting, "No, not at all. It's just that the elders from Shrek Academy might have heard about you serving as a proxy council member for the Spirit Pagoda."
Otherwise, Yun Ming wouldn't have specifically confirmed it with me…
