Chapter 3301: Xie Xie's Concern

Zang Xin covered his forehead and soothed, "Hall Master Guo, please calm down. No matter what, Tang Wulin still has the identity of the Sea God Pavilion Master. Who could possibly disturb him within Shrek Academy?"

"This breakthrough failure might just be an accident!"

Liang Xiaoyu also agreed, saying "That's right, Hall Master Guo. According to the news from Shrek Academy, Young Sect Master's failure to break through has nothing to do with external factors!"

He had clearly told her last time that he would not meddle in Tang Sect's affairs, and yet he was involved again, wasn't he?

Though he no longer held the title of Hall Master, he surely did not care about these things in his heart!

Coming to her senses, Guo Xiaoxu turned her head awkwardly and, hardening her resolve, replied "Even so, if Tang Wulin's breakthrough has failed, he will certainly have suffered a significant backlash. Shouldn't we go take a look?"

Tang Wulin is the pillar of both Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, and regardless of whether or not he can break through to God Rank, his safety must be ensured!

Zang Xin pursed his lips, "We should definitely go, as Tang Wulin is the Young Sect Master of Tang Sect and naturally requires close attention. However, this is not the right time!"

Guo Xiaoxu's eyes widened in displeasure, "Huh?? Is there something more important than Tang Wulin?"

The former didn't argue but instead turned his gaze to Liang Xiaoyu, "Hall Master Liang, you must have already gotten your hands on the secret letter that Spirit Pagoda sent to all the great sects and powers, right?"

Liang Xiaoyu's face became extremely serious as he nodded, "Yes, I was just about to report to you, but since Hall Master Guo is also here, let's take a look at it together!"

Having said that, he took out a letter and handed it to Zang Xin...

But before the latter could catch it, Guo Xiaoxu snatched it away...

She quickly opened the letter and scanned it...

After a moment, Guo Xiaoxu swallowed hard, "No... can it be? Spirit Pagoda is actually trying to bribe all the great sects and powers to join hands with them using such a method?"

"That's just too despicable!!"

Liang Xiaoyu said gravely, "If I am not mistaken, this must be the work of Gu Yuena. To achieve her goals, offering such a price is not impossible!"

Zang Xin, completely confused, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and snatched the letter back...

But upon clearly seeing the words, he too showed an equally ugly expression...

Clenching his fists, he said, "There's no mistake, only Gu Yuena could come up with such a scheme!"

He had never imagined that Spirit Pagoda would promise such things; it was utterly shocking!

Guo Xiaoxu took a deep breath and exclaimed loudly, "No, we must go to Spirit Pagoda and stop her. By using such contemptible methods, even if they ultimately beat the federation, they will certainly not be acknowledged!!"

Liang Xiaoyu placed a hand on her shoulder, "Hall Master Guo, don't be foolish. If you really go to Spirit Pagoda, you might be blasted out before even entering!"

Guo Xiaoxu clenched her teeth, "Liang Xiaoyu, what are you saying?? I am a Hyper Douluo, how could I possibly be..."

Liang Xiaoyu interrupted mercilessly, "Those ferocious beasts don't reason the same way Gu Yuena does; they attack at the slightest disagreement!"

"Do you think you can contend with several ferocious beasts? No, the question is how long you can survive in their hands?"

Guo Xiaoxu brushed off his hand, unwilling to acknowledge this point, "I... Even if those ferocious beasts all came at me, I may not necessarily lose now."

He had recently made a breakthrough and thus had some confidence in his own strength!

Zang Xin's mouth twitched a few times, "Enough, both of you are Hall Masters of Tang Sect. Can't you talk without being so unruly!"

To his dismay, both of them turned their eyes to him and questioned in unison, "Then what do you suggest we do, Sect Leader??"

Zang Xin yelled irritably, "What to do? Of course, we should send someone to warn the federation. If those sects and powers agree, then it will be too late!"

The federation is already struggling just to oppose Spirit Pagoda, let alone if all the great sects join forces. The odds of victory would be virtually nil...

But the next second, something else crossed his mind...

Cradling his chin, he said, "No, since we were able to get this letter, I'm sure the federation has already seen through the Spirit Pagoda's intentions and will likely take some measures!"

"Which means, the Tang Sect doesn't need to specifically do anything!"

Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu exchanged glances, and the same idea surfaced in both their minds...

In a nutshell, it was to do nothing!

They had thought that the Sect Leader would have some useful words to say, but it turned out his thoughts were no different from theirs!

Faced with their gazes, Zang Xin felt a rare bout of guilt...

"Why are you looking at me with such eyes? Although I really want to help the federation, if the Spirit Pagoda takes action against the Tang Sect first, the loss would outweigh the gains!"

Liang Xiaoyu shrugged his shoulders, "I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first!"

Guo Xiaoxu spoke somewhat speechlessly, "I'm going to check on Wulin at Shrek Academy, do as you please!"

In the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared, leaving only Zang Xin disheveled in the wind...

"This isn't right. I am the Sect Leader, and these two seem to have lost the most basic respect for me??"

"This won't do. When they come back, I must give them a severe lesson!!"

...

"Tap tap tap!"

"Wulin, are you asleep?"

Hearing the sound, Tang Wulin stopped his cultivation and went to open the door...

Seeing Xie Xie in front of him, he asked with some confusion, "Xie Xie, it's so late, do you need something?"

Xie Xie glanced around, then entered the room and carefully closed the door...

Only then did he answer, "I'm just worried about you, aren't I?"

Tang Wulin raised an eyebrow, "Worried about me? Could it be that you think I would give up after failing to break through?"

Xie Xie's gaze was incredibly serious, "Wulin, with your character, you definitely wouldn't give up, I am talking about your body!"

Tang Wulin was even more puzzled, "My body?"

Xie Xie nodded affirmatively, "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, you must have suffered quite a backlash from the failed attempt to reach God Rank, right?"

"The reason you pretended it was nothing was just to prevent everyone from worrying, wasn't it?"

Tang Wulin then had a sudden realization and understood everything...

Clearly, Xie Xie thought his nonchalance this morning was all an act, which is why he rushed over in the middle of the night!!

He couldn't help feeling a bit moved...

However, it was necessary to clarify the matter so as not to cause any worry!

Immediately, he said with a grateful tone, "Xie Xie, thanks a lot, but I really haven't experienced any obvious side effects from the failed breakthrough!"

Xie Xie looked skeptical, "Are you sure you're not deceiving me?"

Tang Wulin chuckled lightly, "We're good buddies, how could I possibly deceive you?"

Xie Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief, "If that's really the case, then that's great!"
