Shrek Academy!
Sea God Pavilion meeting!
Sitting in the chief seat, Tang Wulin looked towards Cai Yue'er and took the initiative to ask, "Elder Cai, how are the federation, Spirit Pagoda, and Tang Sect getting along?"
Hearing this, Cai Yue'er replied truthfully, "Hmm... According to the information I've gathered, the three major forces have already reached a cooperative relationship and seem to be planning to conduct research together!"
"After all, there are no conflicts in this matter!"
Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good to hear. I was a bit worried that if the three powers all participated in this research together, it might cause unnecessary trouble."
"However, I am curious about one thing. Why did Tang Sect take the initiative to join this research?"
"Sect Master Zang and the others have never intended to get involved with the federation and Spirit Pagoda's affairs!"
However, no sooner had his voice fallen than all eyes gathered on him...
Tang Wulin felt somewhat embarrassed and scratched his head, saying, "Uh... why is everyone staring at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"
Yuan En Zhentian placed his ten fingers together and said in a deep voice, "Wulin, have you forgotten about something?"
Tang Wulin still appeared confused, "Elder Yuan'en, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Forgotten something?
What thing?
I have absolutely no recollection of it!
Tang Yinmeng held her forehead, "Wulin, what Elder Yuan'en means is, you are the Young Master of the Tang Sect!"
"If even you don't know about this, how would the rest of us know?"
Lan Muzi covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "Yes, Wulin, although you are now the Master of the Sea God's Pavilion, when it comes to Tang Sect... aren't you a little too neglectful? You are the Young Sect Master after all!"
Originally, he was not too pleased about Tang Wulin being both the Pavilion Master of the Sea God's Pavilion and the Young Master of the Tang Sect!
But... his talent was too outstanding; he simply couldn't find any fault in him!
Ye Xinglan also reminded, "Yes, Wulin, even though I also hold the position of a Hall Master within Tang Sect, I still go back several times within a few months!"
"Contrastingly, you... seem to only go to Tang Sect when there is some important matter to discuss!"
Having understood their point, Tang Wulin reflected and said, "I see, no wonder everyone is giving me that look."
But that was the truth, he hadn't really paid much attention to Tang Sect...
Perhaps it was because Sect Master Zang was there!
Thinking of this, he no longer dwelled on the previous issue, "I will inquire with Sect Master Zang about this matter later then."
However, Yue Zhengyu and others beside him were whispering something...
"Did you notice that Wulin looks much better since he returned from the Spirit Pagoda?"
"Yes, indeed, he seemed like a despondent salted fish on usual days, but today he seems to have come back to life!"
"Cough cough, isn't it a bit rude to say that? Although personally, I do agree!"
"It seems that Gu Yue must have said something to Wulin, otherwise, how could there be such a big change!"
"Totally, we've been so troubled over their relationship, they are clearly an old couple already!"
"Hush... let's keep it down, don't let Wulin hear us, and remember, this is the Sea God's Pavilion after all. Aren't we being a bit too disrespectful discussing this here?"
Tang Wulin rolled his eyes, "Hey, I can hear everything you're saying, alright?"
Did they really think so little of the strength of his spiritual power?
Xu Xiaoyan felt a bit sheepish and stuck out her tongue, "Haha... Wulin, don't mind us. We're just happy for you!"
Xie Xie nodded with a straight face, "That's right, Wulin. You are the Master of the Sea God's Pavilion, and all minor and major matters of the academy have to go through you. How you feel affects the progress of the Sea God Pavilion meeting!"
Yue Zhengyu blinked his eyes, looking around, "Right... right, that's it... Anyway, what were we discussing just a moment ago? Let's continue!"
"It's true that we are here at the Sea God Pavilion, but we are in a Sea God Pavilion meeting after all. Should we not show a bit more respect?"
Eh, how come the Sea God Pavilion meetings have become casual chats, the sense of laxness is far too strong!
Sometimes I wonder if this is really a good thing!
Everyone then became more serious...
"Yes, Elder Cai!"
Tang Wulin glanced at Cai Yue'er and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "After all these years, Elder Cai still commands respect... As for me, the Pavilion Leader, I'm finished!"
Then, shifting the topic, he said, "Xie Xie, regarding Shrek Academy's old site, that was your responsibility, wasn't it?"
Xie Xie's gaze instantly grew profound, "Yes!"
Tang Wulin pressed further, "How's the situation?"
Xie Xie shook his head and sighed, "It's not looking good. No matter how much more money I offer, they're still unwilling to sell!"
"However, if we use force, maybe we can solve this matter in short order!"
Elder Ya'li glared at him and interrupted, "Xie Xie, that's a bit extreme, isn't it? We Shrek Academy are not bandits, how can we commit such an act!"
Xie Xie immediately stated his position, "I'm sorry, Elder Ya'li, I misspoke!"
"However, apart from that method, I really don't see how we can manage the sale!"
Tang Wulin propped his chin, pondering, "If they are unwilling to sell, could there be some hidden reason behind it?"
Cai Yue'er nodded slightly, "Yes, if their intention isn't to make a profit, that's very possible!"
Suddenly, as if Xie Xie remembered something, he quickly added, "Oh, they also said that if they really want to talk, they want you, Wulin, to personally go there!"
Tang Wulin pointed to himself, a bit surprised, "They want me to talk? Do they think that Shrek Academy hasn't offered enough respect?"
"But Xie Xie, you are already an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion!"
Xie Xie shrugged, "I'm not quite clear on the specifics; that's just what they said!"
Yuan En Zhentian seemed to sense something and suggested, "It seems that to get back Shrek Academy's old site, you might really have to go in person, Wulin!"
Mu Zi shared the opinion, "Yes, since the other party used to be a student at Shrek Academy, they probably won't be too difficult. Perhaps they just want a reasonable explanation."
Yin Meng gave the thumbs up and said confidently, "That's settled then. Wulin, this matter is in your hands!"
Tang Wulin's mouth twitched, "But I haven't agreed yet, do you all even consider me the Pavilion Leader?"
Then he shook his head, "Well, since they've specifically asked for me, I'll go and take a look myself. There might indeed be some hidden issues!"
He had an intuition that the conversation might not be that smooth...
