Chapter 1778: Mission Over (Please Subscribe) _1

Huang Yi, Huang Er, and Huang Si only then realized that Tang Wulin's complexion was off, all closing their mouths without any further questions...

Tang Wulin gave a bitter smile, "It's alright, actually, it's not something that can't be told. My parents left me when I was very young, and currently, there has been no news of them!"

Hearing this, they all cast sympathetic glances his way...

Zi Yi, however, sensed something and her eyes narrowed, "They're here!"

Within barely a dozen seconds of her exclamation, two men dressed in Battle Soul Hall attire, wearing black masks, appeared beside them...

They were the reinforcement force sent from Tang Sect's headquarters! The formidable aura they exuded commanded respect and solemnity!

One of the Black Rank Fighters said coldly, "Are you the members of Battle Soul Hall in charge of investigating the abandoned factory?"

Zi Yi respectfully responded, "Yes!"

The other Black Rank Fighter swept a cold glance over him and commanded, "We don't have much time, please tell us the details!"

Zi Yi, undisturbed, began to recount, "The situation is like this..."

After he conveyed what had happened inside the abandoned factory...

The two Black Rank Fighters looked at Tang Wulin with some surprise but did not say much more. They erupted with astonishing Soul Power as they entered the abandoned factory...

There was no intent to call upon Zi Yi and the others to join them!

Tang Wulin hesitated, "Zi Yi, shouldn't we assist them?"

Zi Yi shook her head, "No need. If we go in, we'll only get in the way; it's best to leave this matter to them!"

To be honest, he hadn't expected the headquarters to send two Black Rank Fighters directly!

Huang Yi muttered softly, "Is the temperament of Black Rank Fighters always this unfriendly?"

Huang Er nodded, "Yeah, just looking at them, I didn't even dare to breathe too loudly a moment ago!"

Zi Yi smiled slightly, "Naturally, Black Rank Fighters are highly esteemed, and only the Hall Master can command them within Tang Sect. It's normal for them to be proud!"

Tang Wulin nodded in agreement but then asked again, "Zi Yi, since these two Black Rank Fighters have taken over our task, what should we do now?"

Zi Yi answered without hesitation, "Wait, we only need to wait for the Black Rank Fighters to ascertain the situation at the ruined factory, and then we can return to headquarters!"

Whether or not the evil Soul Master could be captured was another matter entirely!

...

Before long, the two Black Rank Fighters had searched the entire ruined factory and successfully discovered traces of the evil Soul Master's presence, but they did not manage to capture him!

Afterward, they debriefed with Zi Yi alone and then returned to the headquarters!

Upon their return, Huang Yi eagerly asked, "Zi Yi, how did things go?"

Zi Yi replied with a grim expression, "There were indeed traces of the evil Soul Master in the abandoned factory. The preliminary inference is that he was using the Resentful Spirits there for sacrifice, and even the souls of those who died in the recent horrific attack were not spared!"

Tang Wulin inwardly exclaimed, "Just as I thought, the evil Soul Master was indeed using the dead's Resentful Spirits for nefarious purposes!"

It was bad enough that those people had died so tragically, and now their souls were being exploited – it was utterly inhumane!

Huang Yi clenched his fists, "Damn it, the despicable Holy Spirit Cult, truly devoid of any humanity!"

Huang Si said coldly, "Even two Black Rank Fighters didn't manage to capture the target; he must have escaped beforehand!"

Zi Yi, "Regardless of the outcome, our mission here is finished. What follows is no longer within our capacity. Now, we immediately return to headquarters!"

...

Just like that, a month quickly passed by...

Xu Xiaoyan and the others who went to East Sea City successfully returned to Shrek Academy!

Gazing at the massive building in front of them, Xie Xie could not help but remark with a poignant tone, "We've finally made it back to the academy. It's still more liberating here, don't you think, Ye Hui?"

Yuanen Yehui did not deny it and softly responded with an "Mm!"

Indeed, due to their visit to Xie Xie's family's home, the two had gotten to know each other better and their relationship quickly heated up. At the very least, the latter no longer told the former to "scram"!

Seeing this, Yue Zhengyu couldn't resist teasing, "Xie Xie, it seems your relationship with Ye Hui has developed quite well over the past month!"

Xu Xiaoyan also covered her mouth and giggled softly, "Mmhmm, I've noticed it too. Ye Hui doesn't seem to hate you as much now!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie puffed out his chest and declared loudly, "That's right. Ye Hui is actually really gentle, especially when she's seriously practicing..."

A stream of lavish compliments caused Yuanen Yehui's cheeks to flush red...

Biting her thin lips, she said, "Okay... okay, you haven't praised me that well!"

But Xie Xie continued to gaze at her with an affectionate and dreamy look, articulating every word, "No, Ye Hui, in my heart, you are just like that. Like a ray of sunlight piercing through the green grass, illuminating my heart..."

This cheesy line made Yue Zhengyu gag...

"Ugh... sorry, I almost couldn't help but throw up!"

Xie Xie shot a cold glance at him, "Someone without a sense of humor. Xiao Yan, be careful that this guy falls for another girl again!"

Before Xu Xiaoyan could even speak, Yue Zhengyu quickly retorted, "Tsk, you might want to watch out that you don't get dumped by Ye Hui instead."

Finally, it was Cai Yue'er who couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted them irritably, "Enough, you little rascals. Do you really intend to argue about this kind of thing in front of the junior students?"

Everyone came to their senses and realized that at some point, quite a few outer courtyard students had started to watch them...

Yue Zhengyu coughed, "Ahem, Academy President Cai, we're just returning to the academy. There was no need to make such a big fuss in welcoming us!"

Xie Xie rarely agreed, "Exactly, we already consider the academy as our home. There's no need for this!"

Cai Yue'er rolled her eyes, "You wish. It's just that classes in the outer courtyard happened to finish at this time!"

Yuanen Yehui and Xu Xiaoyan also respectfully greeted, "Academy President Cai!"

Cai Yue'er gave a relieved nod, "Mm, seeing that you're all right puts my mind at ease. Everyone, head back to the Inner Court for now!"

And so, the group entered the Inner Court under the watchful eyes of the outer courtyard students...

It wasn't until they had left that the outer courtyard students began to discuss heatedly...

"Those four seniors are all Shrek Seven Monsters, and they seem to have a great relationship!"

"The Shrek Seven Monsters... that's the symbol of the academy's glory. If only I had the chance..."

"Go on, stop dreaming. There are only seven people in each generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters. To succeed, you have to enter the Inner Court first! With our kind of talent, sigh!"

"I've decided, I'll aim for the Inner Court. That way, I can find an excellent partner!!"

"They're aiming for the honor of being Shrek Seven Monsters; you're aiming for a partner. You really are something else!"
