Yueguan's pupils became deep, "Ao Rui, it seems you surprisingly don't trust that kid Tang Wulin!"
"After all, he was chosen by Yun Ming to be the successor of the Pavilion Master!"
Having been pointed out, Ao Rui couldn't help but turn his head away, "I... I just hope that you, Hall Master, won't easily believe his words, I mean no offense!"
It was only natural for him not to trust Tang Wulin!
If he had to choose which side he was closer to between the Spirit Pagoda and the Federation, there was no doubt that; with Gu Yuena's relationship, his choice was clear!
Guan Yue silently thought it was indeed so, but to save face for the former, he still replied with a diplomatic tone...
"I see, but you really don't have to worry so much. I don't wholly trust Tang Wulin's words, my hope is simply for a reconciliation between the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda!"
"Otherwise, why would I make an agreement with him?"
Ao Rui pursed his lips, "Hall Master, since you are aware of what to do, I won't say much more!"
"However, I also truly do not wish for the Federation and Spirit Pagoda to go to war. If Tang Wulin can achieve this, maybe... he is worthy of trust!"
Having said that, he left without any hesitation...
Guan Yue watched his retreating figure and just silently sighed, saying nothing...
...
"My Lord, have you rested?"
Di Tian, who had come to the door, suddenly spoke!
Soon, a voice came from inside...
"Not yet, you may enter."
Di Tian also pushed the door and walked in, seeing the incredibly weary Gu Yuena, he couldn't help but express his concern, "My Lord, although the Spirit Pagoda has had many issues recently, you shouldn't bear all of it on your shoulders!"
"If there's anything we can help with, please just command us."
Gu Yuena glanced at him and replied indifferently, "Di Tian, thank you for your concern, but these tasks are ones I must do myself."
"Then, coming to me so late, do you have any matters?"
A hint of displeasure surfaced in Di Tian's eyes, "Yes, just now, Shrek Academy's Tang Wulin sent another message, saying he wishes to meet you tomorrow."
This Tang Wulin was being too persistent!
The Lord had already declined three or four times, yet he still hadn't given up!
Almost without thinking, Gu Yuena waved her hand, saying, "Is that so? Then leave it to you, Di Tian, to handle."
Di Tian immediately understood, "Yes, my Lord, I will send someone to reject his request."
"However, with Tang Wulin sending messengers incessantly, should we not issue a warning?"
Gu Yuena shook her head, "No need, just say I'm busy with work, a normal refusal will suffice."
She wasn't seeing Tang Wulin not because of dislike, but because she had her own reasons!
Seeing that she was still undecided, Di Tian couldn't help but remind her, "My Lord, your hesitation might lead him to persist. He'll likely send someone again soon, and I'd rather not disturb you over these matters."
Gu Yuena nodded as if in understanding, "Is that so... Then Di Tian, from now on, you don't have to inform me about any of his requests, just reject them all."
Di Tian seemed about to say something, but he held it back...
"As you command, my Lord!"
After speaking, he gestured and then turned to leave...
Only after he had left did a trace of disappointment appear on Gu Yuena's face...
She too wanted to meet with Tang Wulin, but she had already promised Di Tian and Bi Ji that she would not let personal reasons influence her judgment!
However, in the next second, Tang Wulin unexpectedly appeared before her without any warning...
"Gu Yue, do you really not want to see me that much?"
At that moment, Gu Yuena's pupils contracted, and she exclaimed, "Wu... Wulin? How... How did you get in?"
With her own spiritual power, she had completely failed to sense his presence!
Tang Wulin simply looked at her, "Just sneaked in normally, but I think the reason you didn't find me is because you were somewhat lax."
Otherwise, she definitely could not have hidden her presence under his Divine Power Perception!
"But... Gu Yue, answer my previous question. Do you really not want to see me that much?"
"If that's the case, I won't send anyone to you again!"
Gu Yuena immediately explained, "Wulin, it's not that I don't want to see you, but..."
Tang Wulin immediately interrupted, "Is it because of our relationship that you do not want to make things difficult for Di Tian and the others?"
"You should know very well that you would not waver because of someone else!"
If she could be swayed by Tang Wulin's determination, she would have already had him return to Shrek Academy!
How could she still be here serving as the Podoga Master of the Spirit Pagoda!
Gu Yuena frowned, "Wulin, you are acting a bit strange today... Did something happen?"
The Tang Wulin she knew today was really different from the Tang Wulin she knew!
Tang Wulin did not answer this question, "Today, I met with the Hall Master Guan of the Federation and discussed some matters with him!"
Gu Yuena's silver eyes flared with a cold light, "So what? Are you here to tell me that Shrek Academy will support the Federation?"
Tang Wulin immediately denied this, "No, you're wrong. Shrek Academy will not favor either side."
Gu Yuena was even more puzzled, "Then what do you mean...?"
Tang Wulin spoke for himself, "The matter I discussed with Hall Master Guan concerns you!"
"Simply put, I told him about the goal you've always wanted to achieve!"
Gu Yuena clenched her fists, "Wulin, why would you do this? Hall Master Guan probably won't believe my intention is for the benefit of this world!"
She had already made it clear that doing this was completely pointless!
Given that the Spirit Pagoda had destroyed the Federation's God-killing soul-guided missile, the outcome was already set in stone!
Tang Wulin did not deny it, "Indeed, Hall Master Guan did not fully trust me, so I made a deal with him!"
"That is, as long as I can persuade you not to oppose the Federation, or even reach a reconciliation, he would be willing to accept it."
"Therefore, there is no need for the Spirit Pagoda and the Federation to become enemies. As the Master of Sea God's Pavilion, I can completely act as a witness for both sides!"
"And the only condition to achieve this is for you, Gu Yue, to make a decision."
As long as Gu Yuena was willing to agree, he had a complete way to reconcile the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda!
Gu Yuena was somewhat stunned...
She hadn't expected that he would do so much behind the scenes just for her...
But...
She sighed, "Sorry, Wulin, I cannot give you a definitive answer yet. Since taking over the position of Podoga Master, what I represent is no longer just myself!"
Even if she agreed to reconciliation now, her future plans would certainly be thwarted by the Federation!
In that case, the current situation would be preferable!
