Chapter 3922

However, these words did not dissuade Liang Xiaoyu from his opinion...

Instead, he retorted, "Sect Master Zang, personally, I still think it is necessary to clarify the situation. We can't always be kept in the dark, can we?"

"Moreover, if the Spirit Pagoda and the Federation were to really start fighting, Tang Sect might also get involved, and then we'll have to pick a side!"

Zang Xin rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless at the other's stance...

"Pick a side? Hall Master Liang, have you forgotten something? Tang Wulin, our Sea God Pavilion Master, is also the Young Sect Master of our Tang Sect. Do we still need to pick a side?"

Liang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and then bowed his head...

Indeed, ever since he had appointed Tang Wulin as the Young Sect Master and Ye Xinglan as the Hall Master, Tang Sect was already bound to Shrek Academy!

Whether to support the Federation or the Spirit Pagoda would have to be primarily based on the decisions of Shrek Academy!

Thinking of this, he abruptly shook his head and voiced his inner thoughts...

"Sect Master, to speak frankly, I just feel uneasy at heart!"

"Something that both the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda can fight over, given the relationship between Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, there's no reason Tang Sect can't have a share of the action!"

Zang Xin seemed to detect something from his words, "Are you scheming against Shrek Academy??"

Liang Xiaoyu quickly denied it, "Not scheming. Tang Sect has provided so much help to Shrek Academy, and now among all the major forces, we are probably the weakest!"

"I... just don't want the development of Tang Sect to stall like this!"

"Eh, Hall Master Liang, it seems I have no choice but to agree to your suggestion."

"Thump"

The door was kicked open, and Guo Xiaoxu strode in...

Startled, Zang Xin and Liang Xiaoyu instinctively turned their gaze toward the newcomer...

The former couldn't help but scold, "Hall Master Guo, what's gotten into you today, being so unruly?"

He had just restored the guy's position as a Hall Master, and now he immediately did something so reckless!

The latter was stunned and said, "Hall Master Guo, this is the main hall, what are you doing??"

The commotion just then had shocked him, thinking that Tang Sect was under invasion!

Guo Xiaoxu scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh, "Ah... hahaha, Sect Master, I didn't mean anything by it, I just accidentally overheard your conversation outside the door!"

Zang Xin saw right through him and said with annoyance, "I'm afraid it wasn't by accident, but you purposefully eavesdropped, right?"

Guo Xiaoxu didn't refute, "Heh heh, Sect Master, don't put it that way!"

"I also think what Hall Master Liang said earlier makes sense. Although Tang Sect has never clearly favored either the Federation or the Spirit Pagoda!"

"But once the evil Soul Master is removed, these two forces are bound to fight, and then all the powers will be busy choosing sides, Tang Sect included!"

"We should take this opportunity to thoroughly understand both sides!"

After speaking, he even gave a knowing look to Liang Xiaoyu...

The latter was surprised and thought, "Hall Master Guo's door-kicking just now seems to have been intentional!"

Zang Xin finally grasped their intent and pondered, "So, both you and Hall Master Liang believe that we should send some Tang Sect disciples to that ruin?"

Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu exchanged a look and affirmed, "Exactly!"

Only then did Zang Xin withdraw his gaze, cupped his chin and said, "This matter is not so simple; we may still have to consult with Shrek Academy for their opinion."

Guo Xiaoxu immediately moved closer and patted the former's shoulder, "Sect Master, what's there to ask? If people from the Spirit Pagoda and the Federation can go, so can we!"

"At most... we'll bring along some more research personnel, after all, the other two forces have brought theirs!"

Although he didn't know why they needed to send research personnel to the ruins, he assumed it must be meaningful!

Zang Xin slapped the other person's hand away, "Go, go, go, don't be so unruly."

Liang Xiaoyu's face lit up with joy, "So, Sect Master, you agree?"

Zang Xin sat back down and said, "If I don't agree, you would still secretly send people to scout the situation, right?"

Liang Xiaoyu swallowed, unable to refute...

Indeed, if the former disagreed, he would have sent people to investigate in secret!

Zang Xin was not one to waste words; he waved his hand and said, "Fine, since both of you insist, go ahead and take some research personnel with you."

"However, you must ensure their safety, Tang Sect is in dire need of talents right now!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

...

After departing, Liang Xiaoyu turned to Guo Xiaoxu, who was beside him and asked with curiosity, "Hall Master Guo, you actually spoke up for me today. Did something good happen?"

He knew the latter always loved to disagree with him before!

Guo Xiaoxu curled her lips and clicked her tongue, "Tch, what good things can happen with the current situation?"

"I just happened to pass by and hear your conversation with the Sect Master, and I said a few words on a whim."

Liang Xiaoyu chuckled lightly, "Regardless, I still owe you my thanks. Having the Sect Master's approval saves us from a lot of trouble!"

After all, if they sent people to investigate privately and got caught, they would have trouble raising their heads in front of the Spirit Pagoda and Federation!

Guo Xiaoxu's lips curled into a slight smile, "Hmph, do we still need to mention these things given the life-or-death bond we share?"

"However, it's been so long since Wulin and the others have visited Tang Sect, they might have forgotten he's the Young Sect Master."

Liang Xiaoyu shrugged, "We can't blame Wulin for that. After all, Tang Sect still has the Sect Master, and he can handle any matter!"

"Without Wulin, Shrek Academy would be like a dragon without a head!"

Guo Xiaoxu didn't quite agree, "Hall Master Liang, you're exaggerating. Without a head like a dragon, indeed!"

"Keep in mind that with so many Elders of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, not one of them is a pushover!"

Liang Xiaoyu forced a smile and added, "This... is also true, but Wulin is under a lot of pressure. Let's not quibble over these minor issues!"

"As long as Tang Sect and Shrek Academy maintain a good alliance, it's a reason to be happy no matter which side grows stronger!"

Guo Xiaoxu didn't waste more time on the topic and said, "Forget about that for now, regarding the ruins, you probably already know, right, Hall Master Liang?"

Liang Xiaoyu nodded, "You can't hide anything, Hall Master Guo."

"Actually, before bringing it up, I had already sent someone to scout the area, but because War God Ao Rui is guarding the ruins, we couldn't find out the specifics!"

The unsurprised Guo Xiaoxu continued, "Hall Master Liang, tell me what you know first, then we'll decide how to approach the ruins!"

Liang Xiaoyu quickly complied, "Alright, I'll tell you what I know right now!!"
