Chapter 1818: Gu Yue, I Miss You So Much (Please Subscribe)_1
With Cai Yue'er no longer present, Tang Wulin was not as constrained as before, looking at Gu Yue with extremely tender eyes…
"I've been doing well too, although I encountered one of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, Dark Bell, in the Sunset Forest. Luckily, she didn't attack us."
"Otherwise, including Teacher Wu, none of us would have made it back!"
Gu Yue pursed her thin lips and said softly, "The Pagoda Master already told me about it."
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin's eyes sharpened as he thought, "The Pagoda Master? Could it be the Lord of the Cold Tower from the Spirit Pagoda?"
It seemed that what he saw on Demon Island was true; Gu Yue must indeed be working for the Spirit Pagoda without a doubt!
Realizing she had inadvertently revealed too much, Gu Yue became somewhat flustered and said, "I misspoke just now, so let's not dwell on this matter anymore!"
Subsequently, what followed was a long silence...
Not far behind the cover, Xu Xiaoyan voiced some hesitation, "I mean, hiding here and spying on them seems a bit unethical, doesn't it?"
Beside her, Yue Zhengyu's mouth curled into a smirk, "What's unethical about it? This is called caring about our friends' feelings!"
Xu Lizhi asked curiously, "Are Wulin and Gu Yue embarrassed? Why are they not saying anything?"
Xie Xie gave him a look, "What do you know? They haven't seen each other for years. Their feelings need time to brew."
"Xie Xie, sounds like you understand quite a bit, huh?"
Hearing this, Xie Xie immediately assured Yuanen Yehui, "Yehui, I swear, you are definitely my first love, and the person I will love the most for my whole life!!"
Yuanen Yehui turned her head to the side and snorted softly, "Smooth talker!"
Yue Zhengyu put his index finger to his lips and whispered, "Shh, stop talking, everyone. It looks like Wulin is about to make a move!"
Sure enough, Tang Wulin took a deep breath, his gaze burning as he stared at Gu Yue, "Gu Yue, in the days you were gone, I... I missed you so much!"
Years of longing condensed into these brief words at this moment!
A few unusual shades crossed Gu Yue's beautiful eyes, "Wulin..."
Before she could say more, Tang Wulin continued, "Although I don't know where you've been or what you've been doing these past years, it must have been very important to you!"
"If you don't intend to tell me, I won't ask... But I still really hope that after those things are over, you can come back to my side, to everyone's side... okay?"
"I... can't be without you!"
These deeply affectionate and sincere words left Gu Yue unable to maintain her aloof demeanor, as she said with emotion, "Wulin, I promise you, once that matter reaches the goal I anticipate, I will return to Shrek Academy..."
Upon receiving her affirmative response, Tang Wulin, no longer able to restrain himself, reached out and pulled Gu Yue into his arms...
And Gu Yue did not struggle, with the two leaning on each other...
After several minutes, Tang Wulin finally let go of Gu Yue, glancing towards a certain hiding spot, "Alright, everyone, there's no need to hide anymore, come on out!"
Tang Wulin sighed, waved his hand casually, and thick Blue Silver Grass swiftly coiled around...
Soon, Xie Xie, tied up like a rice dumpling, was hoisted up and dumped on the ground...
As Xie Xie got up, he complained with a look of resentment, "Wulin, that's not fair. Everyone was peeking; why just grab me?"
Tang Wulin blinked, "Because, you're the easiest to bully?"
Xie Xie's face turned dark, "Damn it, now that you have Gu Yue, you forget about me, your friend. Such a fair-weather friend!"
Meanwhile, the others who were hiding came out one after another...
Upon seeing this, Gu Yue exclaimed in amazement, "Everyone was actually here!"
So it turned out, everything they had just said had been overheard!
In an instant, her face gained a deeper shade of red, irresistibly inviting the desire to reach out and caress...
Yue Zhengyu scratched his head with an awkward laugh and said, "Hahaha, Wulin, Gu Yue, have you not noticed that today's weather is really nice?"
Xu Lizhi quickly nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, yeah, I want to bask in the sun a bit longer too!"
Ye Xinglan coughed and said, "Well, Wulin, don't listen to their nonsense. We didn't intentionally eavesdrop! Sorry."
Xu Xiaoyan continued, "It's just that everyone is here, and you two definitely would feel uncomfortable expressing your feelings for each other. So, that's why... hehe!"
Tang Wulin shook his head, not blaming everyone, "It's okay, whether everyone is here or not, what I just said is what I wanted to tell Gu Yue. Now it seems..."
He finished speaking and tightly grabbed Gu Yue's hand...
The latter only symbolically struggled for a moment before remaining still...
Seeing this, Xie Xie suggested, "How about this; since we haven't seen Gu Yue for so long, let's put aside our cultivation today and just enjoy a good gathering!"
Oh, Wulin, Wulin, this is as far as I can help you!
Xu Lizhi licked his lips, "Sounds great, sounds great. After staying on Demon Island and the Icefire Polarized Eyes for so long, I have yet to enjoy a proper meal!"
Ye Xinglan reached out and pinched his cheek, "Lizhi! Even though you've already lost quite a bit of weight, you still need to keep it up! Otherwise, you could rebound!"
Xu Xiaoyan put her arms around Ye Xinglan's arm, "Xing Lan, today is Gu Yue's return, so just relax a little."
Ye Xinglan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, but just this once!"
Xu Lizhi raised his hands excitedly, "Oh yeah!"
Tang Wulin looked sideways for Gu Yue's consent, "Gu Yue, that's okay with you, right?"
Gu Yue did not refuse, and said with a light smile, "Yeah, I'm not in a hurry to leave now!"
Yue Zhengyu patted his chest, "Well, that's settled then, I'm paying today, let's go straight to the best restaurant and eat whatever we want!"
...
Inside the Sea God's Pavilion!
Upon entering, Wu Changkong immediately felt how insignificant his strength was there!
Indeed, Titled Douluo and Hyper Douluo represented a qualitative leap!
With that thought, he respectfully clasped his fist and said, "Greetings, Elders!"
After giving him a once-over, Feng Wu Yu stroked his beard and praised, "Not bad. I always thought Elder Cai was joking, but I didn't expect you, Changkong, to truly break through to Titled Douluo!"
Turbid World said, quite proudly, "Indeed, he is my disciple after all!"
Elder Ya'li nodded and commented, "With Changkong's talent, he should be the youngest Titled Douluo on the Continent. In a few years, he might even reach the level of a Hyper Douluo!"
Wu Changkong humbly said, "Elder Ya'li is too kind! I am not as outstanding as you say."
Long Yeyue spoke evenly, "There's no need for modesty. Apart from Elder Xu, I have never seen anyone at your age break through to Titled Douluo!"
Wu Changkong didn't carry on arguing, "Yes, Elder Long."
Long Yeyue waved her hand dismissively, "Alright, find a spot to sit down. Now that you've reached Titled Douluo and are a teacher at Shrek Academy, you qualify to sit in on the Sea God's Pavilion meetings."
However, Wu Changkong did not do so. Instead, he went to the edge and silently watched...
