Chapter 3733: Tang Wulin Who Lost His Dream
After he left, Sea Dragon Douluo finally revealed his true demeanor...
His eyes fixed intently on Xu Sheng, he demanded, "Xu Sheng, I don't like beating around the bush. What is the purpose of you and this guy coming to Sea God's Island?"
"Why do you want to participate in the Trial of the Sea God?"
Xu Sheng, in response to the former's change in attitude, was unusually calm...
"Sea Dragon Douluo, if I say that participating in the Trial of the Sea God is to protect this world, would you believe me?"
Gui Mei's mouth twitched slightly, and he cursed under his breath, "Xu Sheng, have you lost your mind? How could anyone believe such a baseless reason!"
However, the next second, Sea Dragon Douluo responded seriously, "I believe!"
"Because the Grand Elder trusts you, so I trust you too."
A person trusted by the Grand Elder could definitely not be some despicable villain!
Xu Sheng stroked his chin, "Is that so? It seems the Grand Elder is indeed respected by everyone on Sea God's Island, just as the outside world says."
Sea Dragon Douluo, unafraid of being criticized behind his back, affirmed, "Exactly, in my eyes, whatever the Grand Elder says, right or wrong, successful or not, is worthy of trust!"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Alright, to make up for just now, I will tell you about the Trial of the Sea God!"
"If you participate without understanding it beforehand, you might find yourself in mortal danger!"
After saying this, he looked at Gui Mei, the implication clear...
Xu Sheng naturally noticed as well and immediately said to Gui Mei, "Elder Gui, you leave first, Sea Dragon Douluo and I have something to discuss!"
It seemed except for the participants, he did not want to reveal the details of the Trial of the Sea God to outsiders!
Gui Mei was not foolish and naturally realized Xu Sheng was giving him a way out...
"Alright, then you two talk, I'll go look around elsewhere!"
It was then that Sea Dragon Douluo took a deep breath, "Xu Sheng, before we start discussing the Trial of the Sea God, I want to ask, who exactly are you?"
Having a Title Douluo as a personal protector surely indicated a significant background!
Xu Sheng appeared slightly surprised, "Sea Dragon Douluo, hasn't the Grand Elder told you?"
He had thought Poseissi had already informed him about his identity, but it seemed not!
The former shook his head, negating, "I didn't ask the Grand Elder, and she didn't tell me!"
Xu Sheng considered it for a moment, but still refused...
"Since the Grand Elder hasn't mentioned it, then it's better to wait for her to tell you personally."
Sea Dragon Douluo also didn't press further, "Well, alright then."
Forcing someone to reveal their identity was indeed not something praiseworthy!
Then, he brought the conversation back, "Well, without further ado, let me briefly introduce you to the Trial of the Sea God!"
Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Then I'd appreciate it, Sea Dragon Douluo."
Although he already knew the Trial of the Sea God like the back of his hand, it was still better to listen, just in case anything had changed!
...
Spirit Pagoda!
Looking at Gu Yuena sitting there, emitting an air of low pressure...
All the members of the Spirit Pagoda felt uneasy...
It even caused some murmuring among them...
"Why does the Ancient Tower Master look so upset today? It's my first time seeing her showing such an expression."
"Yes, it's my first time as well, you know the Ancient Tower Master is usually impassive!"
"Could it be that something big has happened? But that's not right, the Spirit Pagoda should have been peaceful recently!"
"Maybe it's because of the federation, I heard that these past few days, they've been up to some secret maneuvers, but I don't know what their goal is!"
"Shh, keep your voices down, don't let the Ancient Tower Master hear us discussing these things, or we're all doomed!"
Bi Ji, who had noticed the situation as well, immediately used her gaze to drive away these Spirit Pagoda members...
Then, she approached and asked with concern, "My lord, what's wrong with you today? Your complexion seems a bit off."
"Could it be because the members of the Spirit Pagoda have been too lax?"
Everything had been fine just yesterday, but today, the lord showed such a big change!
Could something have happened last night?
She felt it was necessary to investigate thoroughly afterward!
Gu Yuena looked at her and sighed, "Bi Ji, it's not their fault, I'm just a bit tired."
Of course, it wasn't a physical tiredness, but an emotional one!
Yet, Bi Ji sensed something unusual and asked again, "My lord, if there is something troubling you, you can share it with me. Maybe I could help!"
Gu Yuena just shook her head, "This is something you can't help with; only I can solve it."
Bi Ji frowned but persisted, "But my lord, I'm worried about you..."
Gu Yuena seemed to lose interest and silently closed her eyes, no longer speaking...
She had severely hurt Wulin's heart the day before!
Thinking about it now, perhaps she shouldn't have spoken so harshly, after all, he had also meant well!
She wondered if he would come again...
In her mind, she could almost foresee the rift between them growing until it broke completely...
Seeing that the former had no intention of sharing, Bi Ji felt somewhat helpless...
"I understand, my lord. You rest here then. If there's anything you need, just command me!"
She was now certain that something significant had transpired last night!
However, the last to leave must have been Di Tian; perhaps he knew something!
...
Shrek Academy!
Xie Xie looked at Tang Wulin, who appeared soulless, as if he had lost all his dreams...
Patting his shoulder, he couldn't help but say, "Wulin, why are you so downcast? You look as if you're dead. And where were you last night?"
Usually, Wulin was known to be one of the most spirited in Shrek Academy!
Xu Xiaoyan however stopped him, "Xie Xie, don't you see how Wulin looks? Stop asking him already!"
Yuanen Yehui also chimed in, "Yeah, Xie Xie, Wulin seems to be in a bad mood. Let's not talk about it anymore."
Yue Zhengyu then circled around Tang Wulin, guessing, "In my opinion, what could have upset Wulin so much, most likely involves Gu Yue."
The moment Yue Zhengyu finished speaking, clarity returned to Tang Wulin's eyes...
This confirmed Yue Zhengyu's guess, "I knew it, I wasn't wrong. Wulin must have met Gu Yue, then something must have deeply upset him!"
He admired his own wisdom even more!
Tang Wulin looked up, listlessly and said faintly, "Hm... Indeed, I did see Gu Yue, then she refused... she refused..."
Xie Xie curiously heard this, wondering aloud, "Refused? What did Gu Yue refuse? Could it be marriage?"
"Wait, aren't you two already married? Could it be, you were dumped?"
