Chapter 3379

Just then, a sudden sentence sent chills down their spines…

"You little rascals, why aren't you eating with the other students below? What are you doing up here??"

When they turned to look, they saw none other than Tang Yinmeng, one of the Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion!

Everyone felt a bit guilty, but they still braced themselves to reply…

"Elder Tang... Elder Tang, we, we just aren't quite comfortable with the atmosphere below, that's why we stayed up here!"

"Exactly, exactly. Although it's a bit of a pity, seeing everyone eating so happily is enough for us!!"

"We're sorry, Elder Tang. We came to the top of the teaching building without permission. Please be magnanimous!"

Tang Yinmeng's expression turned suspicious. "Uncomfortable with so many people together? Is that really it??"

The leading student swallowed and said awkwardly, "Yes... yes, Elder Tang!"

After Tang Yinmeng had stared at them for a good ten seconds, she burst into hearty laughter, "So that's it! You should have said so earlier; I thought you were spies from another power, sneaking around here!"

The former's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he quickly explained, "Elder Tang, we're not spies, really, we're just..."

Damn, is this the end?

If they were discovered by an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion, they would have no chance of escape!

As for taking action, stop kidding, the other party is a Super Douluo level powerhouse; that would be suicide!

However, Tang Yinmeng did not seem to intend to let them explain further. She waved her hand dismissively, "Alright, alright, I believe you wouldn't betray Shrek Academy. Go on now, if you're too late there won't be anything left to eat!"

At her words, they all finally breathed a sigh of relief...

"Yes, thank you, Elder Tang. We won't break in here again next time!"

It seems, Elder Tang had not realized they were spies; otherwise, she wouldn't have let them off so easily!

Thus, after making a gesture, they quickly left...

Watching this scene, Tang Yinmeng's expression gradually turned cold...

"Their expressions after being discovered were so flustered; they really can't lie at all!"

"However, I didn't expect that there would be agents planted by other powers among the students of Shrek Academy now!"

"And, if I'm not wrong, they're most likely from the Spirit Pagoda, right?"

She was almost certain that the few students just now were infiltrating spies!

But soon, she shook her head, "These guys have been surveilling here for so long; Wulin and the others must have noticed them by now."

"However, they seem to have taken no action. Could it be they don't want to bother? Nevermind, it's best I don't meddle too much!"

After grumbling to herself, Tang Yinmeng also left...

And she did not forget to seal off this area...

so that no one else would spy here next time!

...

The following day!

Early in the morning, Tang Yinmeng sought out Tang Wulin, who was practicing his cultivation...

"Wulin, can you stop cultivating for a moment? I have something to discuss with you!"

Tang Wulin also stopped what he was doing and opened his eyes to look at her...

He asked with some confusion, "Sister Tang, what do you need from me?"

Without any nonsense, Tang Yinmeng immediately explained, "Wulin, here's the thing. Yesterday, I just happened to go to the top floor of the teaching building to enjoy the view!"

"And I saw a couple of students sneaking around. From their guilty expressions, I fear that they're spies planted by another power!"

"So, I did a simple investigation and here is their information!"

She thought about it all day and finally decided to come and ask Tang Wulin in person!

What if the other party really hadn't noticed just because they were careless? Wouldn't she be responsible then?

Tang Wulin was not surprised by this, took the information, and glanced over it briefly…

Then, without changing his expression, he said, "Sister Tang, thank you for the trouble, but we actually discovered long ago that someone was watching from a distance!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yinmeng sighed and said, "I knew it!"

"But… since you discovered them, why haven't you dealt with them? Isn't leaving them in the academy like leaving an unstable bomb?"

Tang Wulin chuckled, "Sister Tang, your words are a bit too serious, their strength is nothing special, hardly an unstable bomb!"

Tang Yinmeng was startled for a moment, "Even so, we can't just leave them in the academy, can we?"

Tang Wulin shrugged and explained, "That's true, but even if we kick them out of the academy, there will always be more spies infiltrating!"

"Instead of that, it's better to keep them. After all, as long as we don't let on, they probably think their identities haven't been exposed!"

Spies will definitely not run out, and the more you try to eliminate them, the more will appear, which is not a good method!

Tang Yinmeng pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "This… you do seem to have a point!"

"Wait a minute, does that mean I shouldn't have disturbed them yesterday?"

What if they sensed something was wrong and left early?

Tang Wulin seemed to understand her concerns and casually said, "Sister Tang needn't worry about it, these are all trivial matters."

"With their identities as outer courtyard students, at most, they are overseeing some trivial matters in the Outer Court!"

"For the truly important matters, we will definitely discuss them in the Sea God's Pavilion, and they certainly don't have the capacity to eavesdrop on those!"

Tang Yinmeng widened her eyes in disbelief and said, "Wulin, I've underestimated you, I didn't expect you to be so cunning!"

She had thought he was a straightforward person, but it didn't seem like that at all!

Furthermore, if he really were a straightforward person, Lord Yun Ming would not have withdrawn Mu Zi's candidacy and instead nominated Tang Wulin as the new Pavilion Leader candidate!

Tang Wulin was quite surprised, "Eh, in your eyes, Sister Tang, I was actually considered a straightforward person!"

No one had ever had that opinion of him before!

Should he be happy or sad about that?

Tang Yinmeng nodded affirmatively, "I haven't spent much time with you, and from appearances, that's how it seems!"

"Especially when you were so distressed over Gu Yuena, you looked even more the part!"

Her time with Tang Wulin was, to be precise, from when he joined the Sea God's Pavilion!

Before that, she didn't understand him at all!

Therefore, she had the impression that he was a straightforward person, but today, that stereotype might need some updating!

Tang Wulin felt a bit embarrassed, "This… well, that's not surprising, Sister Tang. In matters of the heart, I'm indeed not very skilled!"

Even though he and Gu Yue were already husband and wife, there were still many things they hadn't tried!

Tang Yinmeng's interest piqued and she eagerly offered, "How about I teach you how to interact with girls?"

Tang Wulin instinctively took two steps back, "Sister Tang, that might not be a good idea, if Senior Lan Muzi saw us, he might misunderstand!"
