Elder Ya'li pondered thoughtfully for a moment before asking again, "By the way, God of War Su, do you still remember why you came to Shrek Academy in the first place?"
In an instant, Su Mengjun's pupils contracted sharply...
"Oh no, I almost forgot; I came to Shrek Academy to report an important matter to the Hall Master!"
Liang Xiaoyu asked with confusion, "What matter? Can God of War Su tell us?"
Su Mengjun resolutely shook her head, rejecting the suggestion...
"Sorry, I cannot tell you all before getting the Hall Master's permission!"
After speaking, she turned her icy gaze toward Di Tian and Bi Ji, who were not far away...
She had recognized them, these two were from the Spirit Pagoda!!
And it was very likely that they had orchestrated the ambush she had encountered before!
Di Tian's brow involuntarily furrowed; if he wasn't mistaken, this God of War seemed to hold considerable animosity against himself and Bi Ji!
Bi Ji felt somewhat annoyed and wanted to question aloud, but still forcibly swallowed her words back down...
This was Shrek Academy after all; she couldn't cause trouble for their Lord!!
Su Mengjun let out a cold "hmph" before turning back...
With a tone laced with entreaty, she said to Ya'li, "Saint Soul Douluo, I request your permission to enter Shrek Academy and report the message to the Hall Master!"
Ya'li did not refuse, "This... very well, if God of War Su insists on fighting the Demon Emperor to deliver the message to Hall Master Guan, it must be extremely important!"
"Xie Xie, you go ahead with God of War Su and Hall Master Liang to wait inside the academy first; once the meeting is over, bring God of War Su to find Hall Master Guan!"
Xie Xie happily complied, "Yes, Elder Ya'li, let's go then, God of War Su, Hall Master Liang!"
However, Liang Xiaoyu interrupted before anyone else could speak, "Elder Ya'li, I'd rather not go in yet, there's something I'd like to discuss with you!"
He came to Shrek Academy with his own mission as well!
Although Ya'li felt puzzled, she still nodded and said, "Very well! Xie Xie, then you go ahead with God of War Su!"
Xie Xie and the other did not say much and turned to enter the academy...
At this point, Ya'li inquired with curiosity, "Hall Master Liang, may I know what matter you would like to discuss with me?"
She had thought that the other party was specifically here to bring Su Mengjun for treatment, but it seemed that was not the case!
Liang Xiaoyu glanced at Di Tian and Bi Ji but thought that there was nothing worth hiding about this matter, so he immediately began to explain, "Here's the thing, a few days ago, the Sect Leader voluntarily removed Hall Master Guo from his position as Battle Soul Hall Master, thus leaving a vacancy!"
Ya'li's beautiful eyes focused, seemingly guessing something...
"Hall Master Liang, could it be that Sect Master Zang asked you to come here, intending to choose someone from the Shrek Seven Monsters to be the Battle Soul Hall Master?"
Liang Xiaoyu gave a bitter smile, "You are as insightful as ever, Elder Ya'li. It's just as you said; if we let someone from within the Battle Soul Hall take the position, they might not be accepted by all, thus we had to resort to this measure!"
As he spoke, he also felt somewhat uneasy...
Because this was no different than poaching talent in public...
Ya'li showed understanding, "Hall Master Liang, regarding this matter, I cannot decide, you should discuss it with Wulin and the others directly!"
"If anyone among them is willing to take the position, I'm sure no one would object!"
Only then did Liang Xiaoyu breathe a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Saint Soul Douluo!"
If the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion disagreed, he would have no way to explain to his Sect Master!!
…
Several traditional hours passed, and night finally came...
Gu Yuena walked out alone from the main gate of Shrek Academy...
Ya'li glanced sideways and asked, "Gu Yue, is the meeting over?"
Gu Yuena paused, surprised that the other had taken the initiative to ask her...
Afterward, she calmly replied, "Yes, Elder Ya'li, the meeting has ended. You can ask Wulin for the details."
"Okay."
Upon hearing this, Ya'li also simply replied with a word...
Meanwhile, Di Tian and Bi Ji, who had been waiting somewhat wearily, instantly perked up at the sight of Gu Yuena...
Di Tian stepped forward, urgently asking, "My Lord, are you alright?"
Gu Yuena shook her head and said with a light chuckle, "I'm fine!"
She could leave if she wanted to, no one could stop her!
Di Tian let out a sigh of relief, then said again, "I'm relieved that you are well, my Lord. However, there is something I must tell you!"
After finishing his words, he informed her of everything that had happened...
Gu Yuena pursed her lips, her expression unchanging...
"Hmm, I already know about this. The Master of War God Hall did not hide it from me!"
Upon seeing this, Bi Ji suggested, "Then, my Lord, just to be safe, let's return to Spirit Pagoda first."
Shrek Academy housed too many powerful figures; staying here was not safe!
Who could be sure that the people from War God Hall and the Xingluo Empire wouldn't change their minds!
Gu Yuena did not object and agreed to this suggestion...
She then directed her gaze toward Ya'li, "Elder Ya'li, we won't impose any longer and will take our leave now!"
Having said this, she was about to leave...
Ya'li suddenly spoke out to stop her, "Wait, Gu Yue!"
Gu Yuena paused mid-step, puzzled, "Elder Ya'li, do you have something else?"
Ya'li took a deep breath and still chose to speak what was on her mind...
"Gu Yue, even though you are no longer a student of Shrek Academy, in the eyes of Elder Cai and myself, you still..."
However, Gu Yuena did not give her the chance to finish...
"Elder Ya'li, I respect all the Elders of Shrek Academy very much, but let's not continue with this sentence, shall we?"
With those words, she led Di Tian and Bi Ji away...
Watching Gu Yuena's departing figure, Ya'li's eyes showed a touch of complexity...
It seemed going back on her decision was impossible for Gu Yuena!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have so resolutely cut off her own words!
At that moment, Tang Wulin, who had been hiding in the shadows, slowly walked to her side...
"Elder Ya'li, don't be discouraged. I believe Gu Yue certainly hasn't forgotten her days at Shrek Academy!"
Ya'li shook her head, not wanting to continue the subject, "Let it be, let's talk no more of this. Wulin, where is Hall Master Guan and the others?"
Tang Wulin truthfully replied, "Hall Master Guan and the others have already left through another exit; it seems they didn't want to bump into Gu Yue and the others!"
After all, even the slightest carelessness could potentially spark a major battle!
He paused for a moment, then sighed, "It's just unexpected that the federation's Council Members would all be wiped out in a single day; this must be a plan long in the making!"
Ya'li's gaze suddenly sharpened, "Wulin, who do you think is behind all this?"
Tang Wulin involuntarily bowed his head, because the first person that came to mind was Gu Yuena!
However, due to certain factors, he still concealed what he truly thought...
"I'm not sure either, but the real purpose of the one behind this is definitely not just to kill these Council Members!!"
