Shrek Academy!

Sea God's Pavilion!

Ya Li watched Tang Wulin standing by the window, his eyes somewhat unfocused, and walked towards him...

"Wulin?"

He came back to his senses and nodded, saying "Elder Ya'li."

Ya Li asked gently, "What were you just thinking about? You were so out of it."

Tang Wulin pursed his lips and answered casually, "I was just wondering if the Federation and Spirit Pagoda could open up that space so Teacher Xu can return."

Ya Li seemed to see the sadness mixed in his words, "Are you missing Xu Sheng?"

Probably only Xu Sheng could make the current Sea God Pavilion Master reveal such a look!

Tang Wulin did not hide his feelings and nodded, saying "Mhm... After all, Teacher Xu is my mentor. He fell into a black hole fighting abyssal creatures to save the human world!"

"And now there's no information at all, and I don't know his situation!"

Ya Li patted his shoulder and consoled, "Don't worry, your Teacher Xu is extremely powerful. Even Divine Kings are no match for him. An Abyssal Emperor is nothing to be too concerned about!"

Although she couldn't perceive Xu Sheng's exact strength with her own realm, from that battle then...

Even in the Divine Realm, he was definitely one of the top beings!

Tang Wulin sighed, "Mhm... I hope so."

Then he changed the subject, "Let's not talk about these sad things. Elder Ya'li, is the Pavilion Master doing okay now?"

Upon hearing this, Ya Li took out the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear and said softly, "Mhm... Though he can't appear in person, he can still communicate with me at any time, all thanks to Xu Sheng."

"Would you like to chat with Yun Ming?"

After saying this, she handed it over to him...

Tang Wulin took it steadily and said gratefully, "Mhm... Thank you, Elder Ya'li. I have some matters I'd like to ask Lord Yun Ming about!"

Immediately, he released his spiritual power and began communicating with the soul of Yun Ming remaining within the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear...

Watching this somewhat harmonious scene, Ya Li herself became a little unfocused...

"How wonderful would it be if the world could always be this peaceful?"

But soon, this peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by a voice...

"Hall Master, Elder Ya'li, I have something to report!"

The arrival was naturally an inner court student responsible for conveying messages!

Tang Wulin and Ya Li both came back to their senses and looked over...

"What happened?"

The latter answered truthfully, "Just now, Sect Master Zang from Tang Sect sent a message saying that he wants to send a research team into the Divine War Ruins!"

"So, he specially came to ask for your consent, Hall Master!"

Tang Wulin frowned, "Sect Master Zang? Why would he make such a request? Could it be he's also discovered the secrets of the ruins?"

This matter, apart from Shrek Academy, should only be known to the Spirit Pagoda and the Federation!

Ya Li glanced at him and continued, "Wulin, no matter what, Tang Sect is a major force. They naturally have their own intelligence network and might have discovered something!"

Tang Wulin couldn't help scratching his head, "This is troublesome. I didn't expect Tang Sect to also get involved in this!"

His words made Ya Li burst into laughter, "Wulin, have you forgotten that you're also the Young Sect Master of Tang Sect?"

What he had just said clearly placed himself on the outside!

If Sect Master Zang heard this, he would probably be hopping mad.

Tang Wulin was immediately choked up, "This..."

Indeed, he had always regarded himself as the Pavilion Master of Sea God's Pavilion subconsciously!

It seemed that he did not care much for his identity as the Young Master of the Tang Sect!

Elder Ya'li pursued, "So, what about it? Now that Sect Master Zang has personally made a request, are you going to agree?"

Tang Wulin replied somewhat helplessly, "Ah... Sect Master Zang has given such great help to Shrek Academy; his request isn't too much, so naturally, I should agree!"

"However, fundamentally, this matter doesn't really concern the Tang Sect, and even if we intervene, we won't be able to play a significant role."

In his memory, although the Tang Sect had developed the Soul-guided Defensive Array System, it wasn't necessarily comparable with the technology of the Federation and Spirit Pagoda!

Ya'li disagreed with his view, "That may not be the case. The Tang Sect has stood unshaken for so long, it must have its own strengths, and perhaps it can play a unique role."

"Such as... easing the conflict between the Federation and Spirit Pagoda."

Tang Wulin's eyes suddenly lit up, "Right, with the Tang Sect's involvement, the two forces of the Federation and Spirit Pagoda should likely avoid outright confrontation!"

"You are truly thoughtful, Elder Ya'li."

Ya'li just smiled and remained silent...

Even if she didn't say anything, the other would have figured it out eventually...

Then, Tang Wulin turned to the inner court student in front and ordered, "Now, immediately send a message to Sect Master Zang, saying that I agree to his request!"

"Yes, Pavilion Master, I'll go do it right away!"

Having said that, the student immediately turned and left Sea God's Pavilion...

Only then did Tang Wulin hand the Sky-Piercing Divine Spear back, "Elder Ya'li, after talking with Lord Yun Ming, my mind really has cleared up a lot!"

Ya'li nodded slightly, "I'm glad I could help you. After all, as the Pavilion Master of Sea God's Pavilion, you are undoubtedly under great pressure."

Even Yun Ming might not have faced such immense pressure during his time!

Perhaps this was why he was a bit lost and needed someone to guide him!

She paused for a moment, then added, "Alright, you must have other matters to attend to now, right?"

Feeling his thoughts had been unveiled, Tang Wulin boldly admitted, "Then, pardon me, Elder Ya'li, I shall take my leave now!"

...

After leaving, Tang Wulin naturally headed to the outside of Spirit Pagoda...

The disciples of Spirit Pagoda saw him as well, but they were not surprised or move; this was not his first visit!

Still, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves...

"Isn't that the Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy's Sea God's Pavilion coming again?"

"He really is persistent. You've got to admit, our Pagoda Master must be very charming!"

"Shh... are you looking to die? That Hall Master Tang and the Ancient Tower Master are husband and wife, be careful or you'll bring disaster with your words!"

"Hmph, this Hall Master Tang really lacks self-awareness. The last few times he came, our Pagoda Master didn't want to see him!"

"Exactly, knowing the other party doesn't want to see him, yet he still comes here. Isn't he asking for trouble? I'll go in and inform Councilor Di Tian right away!!"

Tang Wulin naturally heard these comments, yet he didn't get angry...

"It seems… the members of Spirit Pagoda aren't very welcoming of me."

But he couldn't blame them; he had come so many times, and Gu Yue didn't want to see him. He figured he must have been tagged as shameless!

However, this time, he was going to see Gu Yue no matter what and absolutely couldn't let their conflict escalate further...
