Xu Sheng nodded his head, knowing this was the greatest help Gui Mei could offer!
After all, the real decision-making power in the Martial Soul Hall still lay in Bi Bidong's hands!
Gui Mei did not plan to say more. "Xu Sheng, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. The matter of the abyssal creature must be reported to His Holiness immediately!"
Without waiting for a reply, he turned and left...
Shortly after, Yueguan, who had been waiting outside, quickly walked in...
Upon seeing Xu Sheng, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Xu Sheng, what did you discuss with Gui Mei? Why does he look so upset?"
He had just tried to stop Gui Mei to ask about it, but was completely ignored, especially since Gui Mei looked very urgent...
Xu Sheng was somewhat surprised, not expecting the other party to be so forthright...
"Elder Ju, that should have nothing to do with you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yueguan swallowed hard, then countered, "How can it have nothing to do with me? Gui Mei and I are both elders of the Martial Soul Hall. What can he know that I can't?"
Feigning surprise, Xu Sheng said, "Oh... so that's how it is... Elder Ju is worried about Elder Gui's higher status and is thus feeling jealous!"
"However, this matter should be brought to His Holiness, shouldn't it?"
Yueguan was momentarily stupefied, but soon realized that the previous remark was a jest...
"Pah, Xu Sheng, don't talk nonsense. That's not what I mean!"
This guy, daring to sow discord between him and Gui Mei!
Xu Sheng chuckled softly, "If that's not what you mean, then why doesn't Elder Ju ask Elder Gui directly?"
He now found that casually stirring Yueguan was also a good way to lighten the mood!
Yueguan was suddenly at a loss for words, awkwardly stammering, "This... that... Lao Gui looked very rushed, so I didn't bother asking him and came to ask you directly!"
Unable to bear the atmosphere, he quickly waved his hand, "Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I'll just ask Lao Gui myself!"
"And, although I owe you a favor, you better not do anything that could harm the Martial Soul Hall, otherwise, I'll be the first to disagree!"
After a brief warning, Yueguan also hurried off, clearly intending to catch up with Gui Mei who had left earlier...
After all this, Xu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, I've given the reminder I should have. Now, let's see how things unfold..."
...
In Pope Hall, inside the great hall!
After listening to a string of words from Gui Mei, Bi Bidong finally spoke in a heavy tone, "Gui Mei, did Xu Sheng ask you to relay all this to me?"
The former affirmed, "Yes... yes, Your Holiness!"
Hearing this tone, it was clear that His Holiness was unlikely to agree to Xu Sheng's proposal!
He wondered why he had been asked to do such a pointless task!
With confirmation, Bi Bidong then continued, "If it's such an important matter, why didn't he come to tell me himself, instead sending you here to inform me?"
Gui Mei suddenly felt a bit guilty and, bracing himself, explained, "This... I'm not quite sure myself. Perhaps he asked me to relay it because he needed to train Evil Moon and the others!"
He definitely couldn't say that it was the people from Sea God's Island who had contacted Xu Sheng.
...
After hearing all this, Shen Yi awkwardly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead...
Indeed, both he and Xu Sheng had not watched the entire duel and thus couldn't comment on who the winner was...
Thinking of this, she turned her beautiful eyes towards Xu Sheng, seeking help...
The latter saw this and merely smiled slightly, then said to the students in front of him, "Everyone performed quite well, especially Wu Dousi; your strength should be the strongest in Class One."
Not only does she possess Twin Martial Souls, but she can also use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. If it weren't for exhausting all her Soul Power, no one would be her match!
Upon hearing this sudden praise, Wu Dousi was stunned for a moment, somewhat unexpected that the former would say such a thing!
She had clearly been eliminated in the final duel!
The other students were also confused, not knowing why Xu Sheng would say this!
"What does Teacher Xu mean, wasn't Wu Dousi eliminated?"
"Yes, clearly the winner of the duel was"
"Teacher Xu wouldn't be thinking of making Wu Dousi the class leader, right? That would be unfair to the student who won!"
Wei Xiaofeng frowned and turned to Tang Wulin, "Wulin, could Teacher Xu be denying your strength? It was you who won the final victory!"
Tang Wulin, however, shook his head and bitterly smiled, "Even so, there's nothing to complain about. The reason I was able to win was merely taking advantage of the situation!"
He had no expectations for the position of class leader; he simply enjoyed the entire duel!
Xu Xiaoyan's eyes twinkled, "It shouldn't be so, we all know Teacher Xu's character, he wouldn't favor anyone!"
Wang Jinxi seemed to agree and nodded, "Hmm!"
Just then, Xu Sheng's dark eyes turned towards Tang Wulin and said, "Tang Wulin!"
The latter, hearing the call, immediately snapped back, "Teacher Xu, I'm here!"
Xu Sheng smiled slightly, "Although you've won the final victory, I cannot give you the position of class leader!"
The students present sighed upon seeing this, only Wei Xiaofeng and others quietly sighed...
Finding it hard to have won the duel, only to be stripped of the qualification to become class leader...
Who could handle that?
And upon hearing this, Tang Wulin's heart trembled, he clenched his fists a little unwillingly, "Teacher Xu... may I ask why?"
Although he had considered this possibility, it was still very upsetting when actually denied!
Xu Sheng's dark eyes flickered, "You should have reached the level of a Fourth-order Forging Master, right? Therefore, I plan to appoint you as the Forging Committee Member!"
At this, an outcry arose immediately...
Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong and Long Bing looked at each other, both feeling that this statement made a lot of sense!
Especially the former, who was very aware that Long Bing's death was inseparably linked to her identity; continuing to use the name "Long Bing" indeed had the potential for history to repeat itself!
Seeing no one addressing his concern, Shen Yi wondered, "What, am I wrong?"
Wu Changkong then seriously said, "Hmm, Shen Yi has made a valid point, it is indeed necessary to change a name!"
He then looked intently at Long Bing, "It's just a bit unfortunate for you, Bing'er!"
Seeing this, Long Bing mind, showing a slight smile, "Then let's change the name; it perfectly represents that I have lived again!"
The former Long Bing had died, but Wu Changkong's love would not change!
Shen Yi propped up his chin, pondering, "What name then?"
Wu Changkong's eyebrows also furrowed, hesitating, "This..."
