Tang Wulin then said to everyone, "Well, continue your chat, I'm going to check it out!"
Yue Zhengyu patted his shoulder and chuckled, "Hey Wulin, aren't you being a stranger? Everyone is definitely curious about what the Tang Sect Hall Master wants with you!"
Xu Xiaoyan's beautiful eyes twinkled as she speculated, "Could it be that the Tang Sect Master has taken a fancy to Wulin and wants him to take up the position of Sect Leader?"
Xie Xie frowned, "That's not possible, is it? Wulin doesn't seem to have made any special contributions to the Tang Sect!"
If that was the case, Tang Wulin would be the next Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion and the Sect Master of Tang Sect, and Gu Yue would be the next Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda!
Yet, I am nothing, always feeling a bit left out deep down...
Ye Xinglan gave him a glance, "Xie Xie, can't you tell Xiao Yan is joking? The position of Tang Sect Master must be decided after discussion by the current Sect Leader and the Hall Masters; it's not that easy!"
Xie Xie forced a smile, "That's true, I'm overthinking it!"
Seeing their reactions, Tang Wulin naturally felt too embarrassed to refuse everyone and took the initiative to say, "Since you're all interested, let's go together."
...
Inside the Outer Court rest room!
Shen Yi brewed a cup of tea for Guo Xiaoxu, "Hall Master Guo, please enjoy your tea!"
The latter picked it up, took a gentle sip, and sighed, "I didn't expect the position of Dean of Shrek Outer Court to be held by you, Shen Yi!"
Shen Yi did not show any dissatisfaction and chuckled lightly, "Yeah, I never thought so either. It's probably because Elder Cai thinks I'm quite dedicated and hardworking!"
Guo Xiaoxu shook her head, "You can't say that. Elder Cai must have felt that with your abilities, you're most capable of managing the Outer Court well!"
Shen Yi shrugged, "Maybe, but as long as I can contribute a little more to the Academy, that's enough for me!"
Then, with considerable curiosity, "Still, I wonder, Hall Master Guo, what brings you here this time? Do you need to see Tang Wulin for something?"
Logically speaking, Tang Wulin shouldn't attract much attention at Tang Sect, so I never expected the arrival of a Tang Sect Hall Master in person!
Guo Xiaoxu nodded slightly, replying calmly, "Yes, this matter is of great importance and requires his personal presence!"
Shen Yi did not pursue further questioning and replied, "Alright, please wait a moment."
After about a few minutes, there was a knock on the door of the rest room...
Shen Yi called out, "Is that Wulin? Come in."
After speaking, Tang Wulin pushed open the door of the rest room and walked in, spotting Shen Yi and Guo Xiaoxu at first glance...
After nodding to Shen Yi, he then turned to Guo Xiaoxu and said, "Hall Master Guo, long time no see!"
The people behind, like Xie Xie, also echoed, "Hall Master Guo!"
Seeing so many people, Guo Xiaoxu frowned slightly, "This... "
Shen Yi immediately got the hint, covered his mouth and coughed, "Xie Xie, you and the rest of us should step out for a moment. Hall Master Guo is here specifically for Wulin!"
Upon hearing this, a few traces of grievance appeared on everyone's faces...
Of course, they didn't express any dissatisfaction and all left the rest room...
After closing the door, Xie Xie spoke with anticipation in his eyes, "What do you think Hall Master Guo wants with Wulin that she can't even tell us?"
Yue Zhengyu gestured dismissively, "Who knows! We'll just ask Wulin after it's over; he shouldn't be so petty."
Xu Xiaoyan said with regret, "That's all we can do now. Here I was, looking forward to some juicy gossip, sigh!"
...
When only Tang Wulin and Guo Xiaoxu were left in the rest room, the former took the initiative to break the silence, "Hall Master Guo, about your looking for me this time..."
The latter pointed to the chair beside her, "No rush, sit down first, I will explain slowly!"
Tang Wulin did not put on airs and took a seat beside them...
It was then Guo Xiaoxu continued, "Actually, my visit this time is to convey a matter on behalf of the Sect Leader to you!"
Tang Wulin eagerly asked, "May I know what it is?"
Suddenly, Guo Xiaoxu's expression became more serious, "Before I tell you, can you first answer me, are you the next Sea God Pavilion Master designated by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin hesitated...
This matter was known by very few outside of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the Shrek Seven Monsters!
Seemingly understanding his difficulty, Guo Xiaoxu did not press and said indifferently, "If it makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to say!"
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, "Not hiding anything from Hall Master Guo, if nothing unexpected happens, I am indeed the next Sea God Pavilion Master!"
"Now, can you tell me what the Sect Leader really wants to convey?"
Guo Xiaoxu nodded in satisfaction, "Of course! In fact, after discussions between the Sect Leader and our Hall Masters, we've decided to appoint you as the next Sect Leader of Tang Sect!"
Tang Wulin stood up excitedly, in disbelief, "What??"
To become the Sect Leader of Tang Sect??
Xu Xiaoyan had really guessed it!!
Understanding his excitement, Guo Xiaoxu said soothingly, "Wulin, there's no need to be so surprised, please sit down first!"
Tang Wulin swallowed hard and sat down again...
After a while, he calmed himself down and said with a complicated face, "Hall Master Guo, the position of Tang Sect Sect Leader should not come to me, should it? After all, I haven't made any contributions!"
Guo Xiaoxu did not deny it, "It has always been the case that the next Sect Leader of Tang Sect is decided based on contributions to the sect, but you are different!"
"Not only are you one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, but you are also being groomed by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion as the next Pavilion Master, which undoubtedly represents your talent and ability!"
"Moreover, you are also a Black Level Fighter of Tang Sect!!"
Tang Wulin objected, "Regarding the Black Level Fighter, it was your proposal that I be exceptionally promoted, wasn't it?"
Guo Xiaoxu glared at him, "Don't worry about these details; you just need to know that you are also a member of Tang Sect!"
Tang Wulin was startled, "Um... Okay, but Hall Master Guo, you also know that I am to inherit the position of Sea God Pavilion Master in the future, I am afraid I can't take on the role of Tang Sect Sect Leader!"
The corners of Guo Xiaoxu's mouth curled slightly, "Can't do it? Why can't you? You should know that Tang Sect and Shrek Academy used to be one family!!"
"If you can serve as the Sea God Pavilion Master, you can serve as the Sect Leader of Tang Sect! That is without question!"
Tang Wulin fell silent, "This..."
Though it made sense, he still felt it was somewhat unrealistic!
After all, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion probably wouldn't approve this proposal, right?
Feeling helpless, he could only reply, "If the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion have no objections, and both the Tang Sect Sect Leader and all the Hall Masters agree, I do not mind taking on the position of Sect Leader!!"
Guo Xiaoxu's face brightened, "That's good, I will deal with the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion; as for the Sect Leader and other Hall Masters, you will need to go to Tang Sect yourself and show your strength!"
"Let them see whether you truly qualify for the position of Sect Leader of Tang Sect!"
He had tremendous confidence in him!!
