Seeing that the former had regained her composure, Gu Yue, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, "Pagoda Master, if you have no other matters, could you leave? I still need to assign the new disciple who just joined the Spirit Pagoda!"
Unexpectedly, Leng Yaozhu pleaded with some earnestness, "Gu Yue, let's make today a day off for you, and spend it with me, shall we?"
To be honest, during the time they had spent together, she had come to see Gu Yue as a daughter in her heart!
In the entire Spirit Pagoda, aside from Qiangu Qingfeng, she trusted her the most!
That's why she chose to come and confide in her...
Upon hearing these words, Gu Yue hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Well... alright then!"
Clearly, the help Leng Yaozhu had given her when she joined the Spirit Pagoda had left a considerable favorable impression on her!
After a pause, she asked, "Then Pagoda Master, what do I need to do now?"
She didn't believe that the Sky Phoenix Douluo, Leng Yaozhu, could have her mood changed by just a few curt sentences!
Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath and said slowly, "Accompany me to a place, there... that's also the place where he first rejected me."
Without any hesitation, Gu Yue replied, "Okay! As long as I can be of help to you, Pagoda Master!"
After all, this shouldn't take too much time!
However, her other personality suddenly awoke, and the first thing it said was, "I want to see Wulin!"
Hearing this, Leng Yaozhu in front of her was quite puzzled, "Wulin? Isn't that the partner you're close with? I remember you just went to Shrek Academy this morning, didn't you, Gu Yue?"
Gu Yue quickly took control of her body and waved her hand, "No... Pagoda Master, I misspoke just now!"
Leng Yaozhu didn't think much of it, "I see..."
Gu Yue today was indeed acting somewhat strangely!
After sighing in relief, Gu Yue responded inwardly to the Spirit Sea, "No! Right now, the most important thing is to manage the affairs of the Spirit Pagoda and to become the Pagoda Master as soon as possible, or at least expand my influence!"
Otherwise, those council members would definitely take that as leverage to obstruct my inheritance of the Pagoda Master's position!
However, Na'er didn't want to deal with any of that and stubbornly insisted, "I don't care, I want to see Wulin now!"
Gu Yue decisively refused, "No!"
But feeling that it was too harsh, she softened her tone a bit, "Wait until the situation in the Spirit Pagoda stabilizes, then I'll find time to see Wulin, okay?"
She was well aware that although she shared a body with the other, she had the advantage when it came to soul strength...
Therefore, Na'er often fell into a deep sleep, not waking even once in a year!
Na'er said excitedly, "No! I want to see Wulin now, right now!"
This unreasonable demand exhausted Gu Yue's patience, and she chose to ignore it...
She thought to herself apologetically, "I'm sorry, for the sake of the Soul Beast Clan, I must do this. If there's a chance, I will separate you from this body!"
This way, both individuals might be free to do what they wanted without having to weigh the pros and cons of everything!
…
And so, the incident of Shrek Academy being attacked by soul cannonballs passed...
Inside the Sea God's Pavilion!
Sitting in the main seat was no longer Sea God Pavilion Master Yun Ming, but a Sky-Piercing Spear radiating a silver glow!
And beside it, Elder Ya'li's gaze had been fixed on it all this time, as if she had endless words to say...
Turbid World couldn't help but speak up, "Elder Ya'li, have you been feeling better during this time?"
For several months, Ya'li had always stayed with the Sky-Piercing Spear transformed from Yun Ming, never leaving the Sea God's Pavilion!
Ya'li came back to her senses and said softly, "Yes, thank you for all the elders' concern, I am fine now!"
She had actually come to terms with it; Yun Ming had sacrificed himself for the entire Shrek City...
Then she, too, should inherit his will and continue to protect this place that was worth everything!
Feng Wu Yu nodded slightly, "Yes, it's good that Elder Ya'li has come to terms. We are all deeply grieved by the Pavilion Master's sacrifice, but no matter what, the Academy must continue moving forward!"
Long Yeyue also took a deep breath, "Exactly, we can't let Yun Ming's sacrifice be in vain. Of course, until the next Sea God Pavilion Master is selected, that position only belongs to him!"
Cai Yue'er echoed, "That's right, we've all seen the contributions the Pavilion Master has made to the Academy and will remember them forever!"
Ya'li nodded slightly, "I understand all that, it's just hard to get used to it all at once. Alright, Elder Cai, please go ahead and preside over the meeting."
When Yun Ming was still alive, it was Cai Yue'er who had managed the meetings of Sea God's Pavilion, and it was still the case now!
Seeing this, Cai Yue'er stood up with a solemn expression, "First of all, from the attack launched by the Holy Spirit Cult last time, we can know that even though the Holy Spirit Cult moved to Xingluo Land, their tendrils have still spread into every power!"
"Especially the Douluo Federation! Being able to help the Holy Spirit Cult steal the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell, this is definitely not something a few people can do!"
Turbid World nodded, agreeing, "Elder Cai is right! There are only three Level Twelve Soul Guidance Shells on the entire Continent, and they are managed by the Douluo Federation. To be able to steal one under such tight surveillance, the internals must be deeply infiltrated!"
Feng Wu Yu continued the discussion, "Because of this, Battle God Hall's Hall Master Chen Xinjie is extremely angry, and he has ordered a thorough investigation on every high-level member of the federation. This is something Elder Long should know best!"
Long Yeyue kept her composure, "Yes, at the first sign of trouble, Chen Xinjie sent Guan Yue to express his apologies, and he assured me he would catch those involved in the attack!"
Lan Muzi cautiously said, "In that case, I recall that Elder Long and Chen Xinjie seemed to have had some conflict..."
Turbid World covered his mouth with his hand, "Cough cough... let's not talk about that!"
Lan Muzi immediately shut up, realizing he had said something he should not have.
Although he and Tang Yinmeng were elders of Sea God's Pavilion, they were the youngest in seniority and naturally had to always maintain respect for the other elders!
Long Yeyue gestured dismissively, "No harm done, I did indeed have a conflict with him, but ever since I met that damn ghost..."
Everyone was well aware that although she referred to her husband, the former Sea God Pavilion Master Elder Bei, as a damn ghost, it was indeed a sign of her deep love for him!
She realized halfway through her words had strayed from the main topic of the meeting and promptly closed her mouth without bringing it up again!
Cai Yue'er tactfully took over the conversation, "In addition, we have students like Tang Wulin leading the inner court; although they are growing quickly, they are still far from enough."
"To survive in the upcoming great war, we must find a way to enhance their strength, so that at the very least, they can stand on their own!"
