However, the first to react, Bi Ji, cast a glance at the ferocious beasts…
They immediately closed their mouths, choking back the words they were about to say…
Afterward, Bi Ji turned her gaze back to Di Tian…
She believed that the latter certainly didn't mean to target their lord intentionally, there must be reasons for his actions!
Gu Yuena's eyes underwent a subtle change as she scrutinized each ferocious beast…
"Di Tian, Bi Ji, and all of you, is that what you think too?"
The ferocious beasts didn't speak, but the former mistakenly thought that was precisely what they were thinking!
Immediately, he closed his eyes and sighed, "So be it, Di Tian, send someone to search the old site of Shrek Academy."
Who would have thought that despite all he had done for the Soul Beast Clan, he still hadn't earned their trust!!
However, this was mostly likely due to his close relationship with Wulin…
Upon hearing this, Di Tian promptly cupped his fist and said, "Yes, my lord, I will arrange for the Spirit Pagoda members to head to the old site of Shrek Academy and dig up everything that's been buried!"
"Of course, this matter will be carried out in secret, we will not let the federation know!"
Gu Yuena's tone was devoid of any emotion as she indifferently said, "Mhm, I'll leave this matter entirely to you. I'm a bit tired; you all may leave."
The ferocious beasts exchanged looks, and although they didn't quite understand everything that had just occurred, they still nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, my Lord."
And with that, they swiftly left the hall…
When only Gu Yuena was left alone, she slowly turned around, raising her eyes to the distance, where her silver pupils revealed deep loneliness…
"Perhaps, it's indeed time to make a decision; otherwise, I cannot gain the trust of Di Tian and the others!!"
"How can I revive the Soul Beast Clan like this?"
With that thought, she made a silent decision!
…
After leaving the hall, Bi Ji looked at Di Tian and spoke very seriously, "Di Tian, why did you speak to our lord like that just now?"
"She has done so much for the Soul Beast Clan, and now she has to be subjected to our suspicions; isn't that a bit too much!"
"Or do you truly not trust our lord?"
Di Tian was not surprised by the questioning but answered in an extremely calm voice, "Bi Ji, I naturally trust our lord. Otherwise, I wouldn't carry out her orders to the letter!"
"But lately, I have felt more and more that Tang Wulin is the key to the revival of the Soul Beast Clan!"
He could roughly guess that the changes in Gu Yuena lately were all because of her contact with Tang Wulin!
Bi Ji narrowed her eyes, "So, that's why you wanted to push our lord to make a decision?"
Di Tian nodded, without denying or confirming, "Exactly!"
Little did he expect, Bi Ji responded angrily, "Di Tian, I now realize how utterly foolish you are!"
To do such excessive things for a cause so meaningless!
She really couldn't understand his way of thinking!
The other ferocious beasts were instantly dumbstruck, hardly believing such words could come from her mouth…
And after all, the other party was Di Tian!!
Di Tian, facing such treatment for the first time, was equally a bit slow to react…
Subconsciously, he reached out to press down on Bi Ji's shoulder…
The latter pushed away and said coldly, "Don't touch me!"
After speaking, she left without looking back...
Seeing this, the ferocious beasts couldn't help but speak up, "Boss... Boss, Bi Ji seems really angry. Should we go after her?"
"I... I think you really went too far, Boss. How to deal with the relations with Tang Wulin and those humans is the prerogative of our lord!"
"That's right, even you, Boss, don't have the right to meddle in the lord's affairs, do you??"
Di Tian, who had just snapped out of his confusion, looked at them with a dangerous glint in his eye, "You bunch of itchy-skinned guys, huh? You even start lecturing me now!"
It was one thing for Bi Ji to criticize him, but these guys, where did they get the confidence to lecture him!
"Well, Boss, I have other matters, so I'll be leaving first,"
"I... I do as well, the Spirit Pagoda researchers have been slacking off lately; I must remind them!"
"Yeah, yeah, this is related to our grand plan to revive the Soul Beast Clan; we can't let them slack off!!"
After saying that, they hurriedly turned and left, afraid that Di Tian would call them back...
Watching their retreating figures, Di Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes, "These guys, weren't they just admonishing me earlier? Now they're running away like this?"
"What a bunch of cowards!!"
After cursing furiously, Di Tian instinctively glanced behind at the large door...
He muttered to himself, "M'lord, even though I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong, since you're the leader of the Soul Beasts, you must prioritize the revival of the Soul Beast Clan!!"
"If there is blame to be had, let it fall on me!"
...
Looking at the tranquil scene in the Douluo Hall, Guo Xiaoxu couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "Alas, even though the disciples calm down for a while every time Xing Lan comes to the Tang Sect, this is not a long-term solution."
Although she had promised Ye Xinglan that she would manage the Douluo Hall properly,
she had almost lost all real power, now that she was no longer the Battle Soul Hall Master.
Liang Xiaoyu, who happened to witness this scene, couldn't help teasing, "What's the matter? Hall Master Guo, you didn't seem very happy just now."
Guo Xiaoxu glanced at him, "Still calling me 'Hall Master Guo'? Don't forget, I've been removed from my position!"
She had noticed him as soon as he entered her spiritual power perception range!
Liang Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow, "Oh? So you still hold some discontent?"
Guo Xiaoxu pursed her lips and waved her hand, "Discontent is not quite the word, but I feel restricted in what I want to do without the title of Hall Master."
Hearing that, the former person asked, "Like what, for example?"
Just as Guo Xiaoxu was about to answer, she changed her words, "Why should I tell you? If you have time, you better worry about yourself."
"If I'm not mistaken, you're essentially running the Tang Sect by yourself now, aren't you?"
He knew what the Sect Leader was like!
Apart from the matters concerning the safety of the Tang Sect, everything else was left to him!!
Liang Xiaoyu's forehead darkened, then he sat down beside her, sighing helplessly, "Yeah, as you said, our Sect Leader has left me to manage everything!"
"Every day, I'm cracking my head over these trifles; it's not as peaceful as you have it!"
Guo Xiaoxu let out a cold laugh, "Then why don't you also give up the title of Hall Master?"
Liang Xiaoyu refused without hesitation, "No way, if I left, it's a big question whether the Tang Sect could still function!"
About this, he was certainly not joking!!
