Chapter 2795: Well-Meaning Lies_1
Shrek Academy!
The Outer Courtyard!
Looking at the bustling inner court students, Xie Xie couldn't help but say, "Hey, ever since those teachers from the federation left, the safety of the outer courtyard students has greatly improved, but there is still a shortage of teaching staff."
Ye Xinglan nodded and affirmed, "Mmm, but we can only put more pressure on these inner court students!"
Yue Zhengyu, on the other hand, expressed with emotion, "I also wonder what exactly Gu Yue did to get all the Soul Masters to join the Spirit Pagoda."
However, to avoid misunderstanding, he quickly added another sentence, "I mean, I'm just wondering, no other implications!"
Unexpectedly, Yuanen Yehui also propped up her chin in thought and said, "Hmm, speaking of which, I'm quite curious about this matter too. The Spirit Pagoda and the federation have more or less the same status on the Continent, so why can the Spirit Pagoda attract so many Soul Masters!"
Xu Lizhi scratched his head, "Maybe it really is because of Gu Yue's personal charisma? Although it sounds absurd, I can't think of any other explanation!"
Could it be possible that the Spirit Pagoda forced these Soul Masters to join?
The cost of that would be too great!
Xu Xiaoyan, who already knew the reason, subconsciously started to speak, "Actually, it's because..."
The moment she said this, she immediately attracted everyone's intense gaze…
She quickly realized…
Wulin seemed to have instructed me specifically not to tell everyone about this, to prevent even bigger misunderstandings!
She then awkwardly smiled and said, "Well… I think, as Lizhi said, it's due to personal charisma!"
Seeing this, everyone felt somewhat disappointed…
Only Xu Lizhi was wide-eyed with surprise, exclaiming, "Xiao Yan, for real??"
It's the first time someone had agreed with him!
Xu Xiaoyan managed a forced smile, "Of... of course it's true… ha... haha"
That was close!!
Thinking that the matter would be dropped, Yue Zhengyu suddenly had another thought and seriously said, "No... something's not right, Xiao Yan, are you hiding something from us?"
In his eyes, suspicion was thick...
Xu Xiaoyan was taken aback and replied somewhat guiltily, "Of... of course not, Zhengyu, why would you say that!"
Yue Zhengyu once again narrowed his eyes, pressing her even further, "No matter what, I am your boyfriend, I can naturally tell if what you're saying is true or false!"
Xu Xiaoyan panicked, not knowing how to respond…
Seeing her like this, Yue Zhengyu became even more convinced of his guess…
"Xiao Yan, just tell me, you can't hide it from me!"
Just then, Tang Wulin suddenly spoke up, "Zhengyu, I didn't expect you to figure it out. Now that it has come to this, I might as well tell everyone about this!"
Xu Xiaoyan's pupils contracted, and she quickly turned to Tang Wulin, astonished, "Wulin, didn't you say…"
Tang Wulin returned with a reassuring gaze, "Xiao Yan, it's not good to keep hiding it from everyone, it's better to speak up so they can be prepared!"
Xu Xiaoyan nodded slightly, "I understand!"
It seemed Wulin also knew that keeping it from everyone could affect future battles!
Then she had no reason to stop it!
Yue Zhengyu's lips slightly curled, "I knew it, you were indeed keeping something from us!"
The others, watching the development of the situation, were also interested…
Tang Wulin cleared his throat and said word by word, "Actually, the reason Gu Yue could get Soul Masters to join the Spirit Pagoda is because..."
Everyone's gaze became focused, because the answer to this question was very important!
He continued, "It's because Gu Yue once offered the Ten Thousand Beast Platform for free to many Soul Masters, thus earning their goodwill!"
With those words, the atmosphere suddenly turned strange…
Yue Zhengyu held back swearing, grinding his teeth as he said, "Wulin, is this all you have to say?"
Tang Wulin nodded in affirmation, "Yep, that's it!"
Xie Xie was even more irritated as he said, "For such a trivial matter, you and Xiao Yan actually kept it from us, are you kidding me?"
Ye Xinglan also seemed rather displeased, "That's right, Wulin, everyone is well aware of the fact that the Ten Thousand Beast Platform was once available for Soul Masters to use for free!"
Yuanen Yehui covered his forehead, "I always feel like I've been played, but I have no evidence!"
Xu Lizhi was holding back his anger, "I just feel a bit mad..."
After speaking, everyone stopped paying attention to him and left in indignation...
Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but let out a snicker...
She teased, "Wulin, it seems like everyone isn't going to be too pleased with you today, after all, they've been fooled twice!"
Tang Wulin rolled his eyes, "Xiao Yan, what you just said is kind of upsetting me."
Who did she think she was doing it for?
Seeing Tang Wulin's reaction, Xu Xiaoyan had no choice but to employ her talents!
She clenched her hands into fists and acted coquettishly like a kitten, "Alright, alright, Wulin, it was me who spoke out of turn earlier, sorry sorry, I promise it won't happen again!"
Her adorable act made Tang Wulin involuntarily look away...
"Cough cough, actually, even if you had said it out loud just now, I wouldn't have been angry, Xiao Yan, since I was mentally prepared!"
"This matter was bound to come out sooner or later!"
Xu Xiaoyan unclenched her fists, looking thoughtful, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"
For a moment, she had believed that he was about to reveal everything about Gu Yuena!
Tang Wulin didn't answer her but changed the subject.
"Xiao Yan, that's right, I need to leave the academy for a bit, see you later!"
Xu Xiaoyan, feeling obliged to let go of her confusion, nodded, "Alright, be safe!"
She knew that Tang Wulin had been extremely busy recently and had rarely gathered with the Shrek Seven Monsters!
...
After leaving, Tang Wulin came to a familiar place!
The Tang Sect!
He looked up at the plaque above and sighed, "Although Sect Master Zang appointed me as the Young Sect Master, it's been quite a long time since my last visit!"
Honestly, if he had to choose between being the Pavilion Master of the Sea God's Pavilion and the Young Sect Master of the Tang Sect, his leanings were more towards the former!
After all, he hadn't made any significant contributions to the Tang Sect!
Just as he was about to enter the Tang Sect, a soul power fluctuation erupted, and with hands behind his back, Zang Xin appeared out of nowhere in front of him...
Tang Wulin said in surprise, "Sect Master Zang..."
Zang Xin spoke with a stern face, "Wulin, I thought you had forgotten you were the Young Master of the Tang Sect!"
Tang Wulin's expression carried a trace of guilt, "Sorry, Sect Master Zang, I've been tied up with trivial matters at the academy and haven't had the time to visit!"
"By the way, Hall Master Zhao..."
Zang Xin answered unemotionally, "The Tang Sect has already given Hall Master Zhao a proper burial!"
Tang Wulin's lips tightened, "I see, that's good then..."
Clearly not wanting to continue this gloomy topic, Zang Xin said softly, "Come on, since you're here, stay at the Tang Sect for a few days!"
Tang Wulin, who had intended to do just that, naturally accepted...
"Yeah, I do have some matters I'd like to discuss with Sect Master Zang and the two Hall Masters!"
