Hidden in the shadows spying, Xie Xie and the others were excitedly whispering, "Look, look, Wulin's expression, he must have confessed his feelings by now, just not sure if Gu Yue will accept."
Ye Xinglan's beautiful eyes revealed an envious look, "She should, after all, to us, they already seem like a couple!"
Xie Xie hurriedly questioned, "Really? Then what about Yuanen Yehui and me? Do we look like a couple?"
Ye Xinglan was stunned for a moment and replied calmly, "Well, I can't see it. I guess more than strangers but less than friends?"
Xie Xie's smile stiffened, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Is that so..."
Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes and said, "Xie Xie, you should know whether there's any chance with Yuanen Yehui!"
After a pause, she continued, "Right now, we're discussing Gu Yue and Wulin's situation! Anyway, I think they're quite well-matched, just not sure if the former will agree. After all, if there is unrequited love, there will be no good outcome!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Lizhi wrinkled his brow in confusion and said, "Does everyone think it looks like a confession? Why do I feel like Wulin is actually questioning Gu Yue?"
Xie Xie glanced at him, "You just don't get it, do you? He wanted some alone time, and even made sure to drive us away. What else could it be if not a confession?"
Xu Lizhi scratched his head thoughtfully, "Well, okay then..."
Maybe it was just his own imagination...
Just then, Xu Xiaoyan clearly saw Gu Yue's lips move slightly and quickly said, "Everyone, stop talking, Gu Yue seems about to reply!"
It was clearly visible, Gu Yue's beautiful eyes staring straight at Tang Wulin in front of her, she said coldly, "I told you, I'm not angry! If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!"
With those words, she turned around, intending to leave...
Tang Wulin stopped in his tracks, a thought quietly surfacing in his heart, if he let Gu Yue leave like this, he would definitely regret it!
Thinking this, he immediately reached out to grab her wrist...
Hurriedly he said, "Gu Yue, listen to me..."
However, before he could finish, Gu Yue's beautiful eyes suddenly turned cold, and four Soul Rings appeared beneath her feet...
First Soul Skill, Elemental Tide!
She manipulated the surrounding elements to merge together, sweeping toward Tang Wulin like a whirlpool, forcefully blasting him back several steps...
Clearly, this move wasn't meant to harm Tang Wulin!
Gu Yue, with her back to Tang Wulin, bit her thin lips, "I'm leaving now!"
Having said this, she left without looking back, disappearing from the deck...
Leaving only Tang Wulin alone with a bitter smile, standing in place...
He thought to himself, "In the end, I didn't manage to ask anything, but it's certain, Gu Yue is indeed angry!"
At this moment, Ye Xinglan and the others, who were hiding behind cover, also came out...
Xie Xie patted Tang Wulin's shoulder, expressing sympathetically, "Wulin, take it easy. Although Gu Yue didn't accept your confession, with your looks that are just slightly less than mine, you'll definitely find a decent girlfriend!"
Xu Xiaoyan was somewhat indignant, "Gu Yue actually used a Soul Skill, that's really going too far!"
Ye Xinglan also showed some displeasure, "Hmm, we're all companions, even if she rejected Wulin's confession, there was no need to get physical!"
Only Xu Lizhi looked at him with full concern, "Wulin, are you hurt?"
Tang Wulin shook his head, "I'm fine, Gu Yue didn't mean to hurt me. Besides, don't misunderstand, what I just did wasn't a confession to Gu Yue!"
Xie Xie's eyes showed a hint of pity, "No need to explain, man. We all have our pride, and being dumped is surely embarrassing. But as your companions, we promise not to tell anyone!"
Wulin's situation seemed even worse than if he had to take responsibility for Yuanen Yehui!
At least, there was no fighting, right?
...
Back in her cabin, Gu Yue's cheeks were a tumult of complex expressions...
"I actually struck out against Wulin just now..."
She simply didn't know how to deal with Tang Wulin at the moment, which led to her somewhat excessive reaction after her wrist was grabbed...
Of course, it wasn't that she was really angry with him...
At that moment, another completely different voice came from Gu Yue's mouth...
"Hmph, you actually dared to lay a hand on my brother, now you've done it, you'll definitely be disliked!"
Indeed, it was another personality of Gu Yue's—the sister of Tang Wulin, Na'er!
"That's your fault too! You know very well that you two can't possibly be together!"
"Why not possible? Wulin and I aren't blood siblings!"
"This body isn't just yours! Do you think I would agree?"
"Heh, then do you dare say that you don't have any feelings for brother at all?"
"I... I... That's just the friendship between companions, it has nothing to do with love!"
"Really? It's just that my personality has only just awakened and can't fight for control of the body. Once I have recovered, it won't be up to you anymore!"
...
Meanwhile, within the War God Hall!
Guan Yue, who was discussing with Chen Xinjie, suddenly heard her communicator going off...
Chen Xinjie nodded slightly, and then Guan Yue answered the call...
They could make out a somewhat blurry image appearing before them, and in that image was the War God who had discovered the trail of the Holy Spirit Cult!
The War God spoke respectfully, "Vice Hall Master, Hall Master!"
Chen Xinjie's expression was solemn as he asked, "You've made an emergency call, has something important happened?"
Guan Yue didn't finish, but she also looked very serious...
The War God took a deep breath, "Yes, Hall Master, during our search, we uncovered traces of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Chen Xinjie's eyes narrowed, "Oh? Tell me more!"
Immediately, the War God nodded and explained, "During our search, we found dozens of Soul Master corpses that had lost signs of life, and not just that, each body was extremely shriveled, as if everything inside had been sucked dry! The manner of death was extremely tragic."
"Hence, we suspect they were tortured to death by evil Soul Masters! And we have deduced that the stronghold of the Holy Spirit Cult is within this area!"
Upon hearing these words, both Chen Xinjie and Guan Yue's faces showed a hint of joy...
They had not expected that the Holy Spirit Cult, which had eluded search for so long and given no sign of life, would make such a rudimentary error!
But as they thought more carefully, the joy on their faces gradually faded away...
Could this be a trick of the Holy Spirit Cult?
Otherwise, why would they leave these bodies exposed in the wilderness while being extensively searched for by numerous powers?
Seeing the two in contemplation, the War God asked again, "Vice Hall Master, Hall Master, shall we continue the search?"
Chen Xinjie came back to his senses, speaking with gravity, "Yes, narrows down the search area as much as possible and be careful not to alarm them!"
"Also, if an unexpected situation arises, prioritize your own safety above all else and avoid engaging in battle at all costs!!"
Each War God was a pillar of the War God Hall, and it was natural not to let them fall lightly!
