After leaving the Blood God Army, Gu Yue immediately took out her communication device....
As soon as she made the connection, she took the initiative to speak, "Pagoda Master, I've already left the Blood God Army. Could you please send me the location of the nearest Spirit Transmission Tower Branch?"
Hearing Gu Yue's words, Leng Yaozhu was slightly surprised and said, "You've already left the Blood God Army so quickly? Efficient!"
After a pause, she added with a light laugh, "But I still feel it's more endearing if you called me teacher. How about you say 'teacher' first, and then I'll tell you?"
Although she had already considered Gu Yue as her own disciple, her daughter, she had not received the latter's acknowledgment!
Gu Yue's expression changed subtly, and she said coldly, "Now that the council members no longer reject me, it doesn't matter whether I participate in this competition or not!"
Her participation in this competition was solely to improve her status in the eyes of the council members!
In simple terms, as long as Leng Yaozhu did not target her, the position of Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda would be hers with one hundred percent certainty, given the current situation!
Leng Yaozhu sighed with a touch of regret, "Alright, alright, if you don't want to call, then don't. Who am I to force you when you are the inheritor I have my eyes on!"
With that, she sent over the location of the Spirit Transmission Tower Branch that was closest to the Blood God Army....
Once Gu Yue confirmed she had received it, she said indifferently, "Alright, Pagoda Master, if there's nothing else, I am going to hang up."
Leng Yaozhu interjected, "Wait, Gu Yue, why are you in such a hurry to hang up? You can talk to me about your time in the Blood God Army...."
Without waiting for her to finish, Gu Yue disconnected the communication....
The Spirit Pagoda was quite far from the Blood God Army, and she didn't have time to waste on these useless matters!
After taking a deep breath, she released a mecha from her storage soul tool and operated it to move toward the direction of the Spirit Pagoda's branch...
...
About half a day later, Gu Yue finally arrived at the Spirit Pagoda Branch!
As far as the eye could see, this branch of the Spirit Pagoda was completely different from the others; the entire structure was hidden deep within the mountains...
If it wasn't for the location information provided by Leng Yaozhu, even if she had come here, she would have returned empty-handed!
Then, she put away the mecha and stepped towards the Spirit Pagoda...
The two diligent guards became vigilant upon seeing her and softly demanded, "Halt, please present your Spirit Pagoda credentials."
Gu Yue, unchanging in demeanor, took out her Spirit Pagoda credentials and casually tossed them to them....
After the guards inspected the credentials carefully, their expressions underwent a huge change....
One of the guards swallowed hard, bowed, and said, "Cou...Council Member, please forgive our earlier rudeness!"
The other guard held the credentials with both hands, presenting them back to Gu Yue respectfully and said, "My lord, here are your Spirit Pagoda credentials!"
After Gu Yue took them back, she did not trouble them further and casually asked, "May I go in now?"
Seeing this, the guards hastily said, "Of course, my lord, please! The Branch Tower Master is already waiting inside for you."
Watching Gu Yue's departing figure, the two guards reached up to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads....
"Our Spirit Pagoda has such a young council member. That was really frightening!"
"Yes, to become a council member, this person must have made significant contributions to the Spirit Pagoda; we can't afford to offend them!"
...
Meanwhile, Shrek Academy!
Cai Yue'er looked at Yang Nianxia and the others standing before her, saying solemnly, "Starting today, you have officially graduated from Shrek Academy!"
It was graduation, but if you looked up at their faces, you would find not a trace of joy on the faces of these inner court students…
Graduation meant leaving Shrek Academy, the place that had carried their youth!
In the future, it was also very likely they would never set foot here again!
Realizing the negative emotions they displayed, Elder Ya'li beside them gave a gentle smile and chose to guide them with incredibly light words…
"Children, there's no need to feel downhearted. Although you are about to leave Shrek Academy, it doesn't mean you are leaving this big family!"
"As long as Shrek Academy still exists, then you will always be members of Shrek Academy!"
Turbid World slightly nodded and said earnestly, "Elder Ya'li is right. If the academy faces danger in the future, it will need you talented children to stand up!"
"So today's departure is only to ensure a better reunion in the future!"
They had witnessed the departure of many Shrek Academy Inner Court students, but this class was the most unforgettable!
After all, the academy had encountered quite a few troubles over the past few years!
Just a few short sentences turned the corners of the inner court students' eyes red…
"Once we graduate, we have to leave Shrek Academy. Suddenly, I don't want to graduate!"
"Yeah, I also don't want to leave this place where I've lived for so long…"
"Don't be silly. Once you graduate, you must leave. We can't stay students at the academy forever, can we?"
"The warmth that Shrek Academy has given me, even if I stay a student for life, what of it!"
Cai Yue'er pursed her thin lips, feeling heartache as she said, "Eh, if this goes on, these kids will really not want to leave the academy. Elder Feng, you should make the announcement!"
Feng Wu Yu slightly nodded, then said in a cold voice, "All Shrek Academy Inner Court students take heed, immediately pack your belongings, and leave the academy as soon as possible within three days!"
"Of course, if anyone wishes to stay and serve in the academy, they can apply to Academy President Cai!"
Upon hearing this, the inner court students did not defy, leaving without a word…
Watching this scene, Cai Yue'er let out a sigh, "I really can't bear to part with these kids, but in the end, they have to pursue their own futures!"
Turbid World also sighed, "Isn't that the truth. However, the current Shrek Seven Monsters will still have to stay and contribute to the academy!"
Lan Muzi propped up his chin, pondering, "Hmm, thinking about the history of the Shrek Seven Monsters, it seems they all became Elders or Pavilion Masters of the Sea God's Pavilion. This class will probably be no exception!"
Tang Yinmeng said out of the blue, "Yeah, it's just a matter of how long it will take for these kids to grow up and take over our positions as elders!"
Elder Ya'li's beautiful eyes shone with hope, "It won't take long. Tang Wulin's talent is even better than Yun Ming's. With the other Shrek Seven Monsters by his side, they will surely shine in the future!"
By then, I'll be able to peacefully join Yun Ming…
Suddenly, Turbid World's voice broke the atmosphere, "Speaking of which… do any of the elders have news of Elder Xu? I wonder if he has discovered the secrets of the abyss!"
Could it be that he found something to keep him with the Blood God Army…
