In just a few sentences, they had stirred up the emotions of the inner court students, who all expressed their desire to give it a try...
Xie Xie raised his eyebrows at the others, "How about that, my method isn't bad right? Tried and true, learned it from Teacher Wu!"
He remembered how Wu Changkong used to use these words to inspire their fighting spirit!
Yue Zhengyu smacked his lips, said with annoyance, "You brat, you've got some tricks, huh? Your strength might not have increased much, but your glib tongue sure has gotten sharper!"
Xie Xie immediately took offense, pressing his forehead against Yue Zhengyu's head, retorting, "What did you say?? My strength hasn't increased? I might not even be weaker than you now!"
Yue Zhengyu was unyielding, sneered, "Stop kidding, you're an agile-attack class Soul Master and you want to fight me head-on? You haven't forgotten all the knowledge you learned before, have you?"
Xie Xie reached out and seized the front of his shirt, "You... looking for a fight?"
Yue Zhengyu shot back immediately, "If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get, who's afraid of whom, grandson!"
Yuanen Yehui covered her forehead, feeling somewhat embarrassed...
Xu Xiaoyan, on the other hand, turned her head to one side as if she hadn't seen anything...
Ye Xinglan glanced at them, only to speak up and interrupt, "Xie Xie, Zheng Yu, quiet down a bit, can't you see the junior brothers and sisters are still here?"
She doubted these guys knew anything about maintaining an image!
Yue Zhengyu pushed Xie Xie's hand away and straightened his collar, with almost gentlemanly manners, "Since you've just been resurrected, I won't take it too seriously!"
Xie Xie, however, was completely unperturbed, snorted, "Tch, if you're scared just say it, no need for that bullshit!"
As for the inner court students present, their eyes were filled with curiosity, incomprehension, confusion...
It was then that Yuanen Yehui coughed to interrupt their daydreaming, "Ahem, junior brothers and sisters, they are just joking around, actually, they're really good friends!"
"However, since you've already agreed to the proposal from before, you'll stay in the inner court for the next few days, until a time is set, then an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion will notify you!"
Seeing this, the audience didn't pursue the matter any further, they all said in unison, "Yes, Sister Yuanen!"
...
After they left, Yuanen Yehui turned to Yue Zhengyu and the other, scolding, "I say you two, how old are you now, still interacting like before, making our junior brothers and sisters laugh at us"
Xu Xiaoyan not only didn't come to their defense, instead she agreed, "Exactly, exactly, it's so embarrassing even watching it!"
Yue Zhengyu, however, merely shrugged his shoulders, unashamedly expressing his thoughts...
"Ye Hui, Xiao Yan, don't be so sensitive, mainly it's because when Xie Xie hadn't come back yet, it was quite boring not having anyone to bicker with!"
He knew it was immature, but he had to admit, with Xie Xie around to banter with, it did add some fun...
Xie Xie naturally heard this candid speech and was taken aback, "Zheng... Zheng Yu"
It was impossible not to be touched!
Yue Zhengyu responded with a smile, then reached out his right hand, with an extremely gentle tone, "Xie Xie, after all, we're comrades who've been through life and death, right?"
Xie Xie took a deep breath, extended his left hand and grasped it tightly...
With utmost seriousness, "Mhm!"
Xu Xiaoyan shivered with disgust, complaining, "Hey hey, your development seems a bit off, so gross!"
Ye Xinglan also discreetly moved away, "Agree... agreed, it's a good thing I didn't eat anything this morning"
Then, she turned to Xu Lizhi, "Lizhi, you can't be like them in the future, or I won't hesitate to dump you, you know!"
He, as if deep in thought, patted his chest, "Don't worry, Sister Xinglan, I only like you, I'm not interested in any other men!"
Feeling the sentiment, Yue Zhengyu and Xie Xie protested in unison, "We're not interested in men either!!"
Yuanen Yehui sneered, "Hmph... even their answers are so uniformly the same!"
Having said that, he quickly left the space with its eerie atmosphere...
...
Sea God's Pavilion!
After Tang Wulin, Cai Yue'er, and Ya Li were seated, Lan Muzi could hardly wait to ask, "Elder Ya'li, Elder Cai, what about the examination results for those applying for teaching positions?"
Tang Yinmeng was also excited as she said, "To come forward to apply for a teaching position at Shrek Academy at this time, they must be quite confident in their abilities!"
Yuanen Yehui expressed his doubts, "That's true but, Elder Cai, you all seem to have a rather grim look on your faces. Could it be that something unexpected has occurred?"
Cai Yue'er sighed and answered, "Yes, indeed there was a minor unexpected issue. All those who applied for the positions were sent by the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Ya Li agreed, "That's right, if it wasn't for Wulin's plan, we might not have been able to determine their true identities, allowing them to successfully infiltrate the academy!"
Tang Wulin spoke with a hint of regret, "I actually think that if they weren't evil Soul Masters, they might really have become excellent teachers, alas!"
Tang Yinmeng's expression became somewhat somber, "Is that so? Doesn't that mean that our Shrek Academy has again failed to recruit any teachers?"
The situation was getting more and more dire!
Lan Muzi forced a smile and said, "Well... there's nothing we can do about it. The Spirit Pagoda's influence is so great that it overshadows all the major forces!"
"As a result, most Soul Masters are reluctant to join other powers!"
Yuanen Yehui calmly said, "Though we haven't recruited any teachers, it's still better than letting Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters infiltrate us. Elder Cai, you have worked hard!"
Cai Yue'er shook her head, "There's no need for such words; after all, we haven't really done much!"
Then she added again, "However, we must still resolve the issue of the teachers!"
Lan Muzi caught the implication and asked in surprise, "Elder Cai, from the sound of your voice, it seems you've already found a solution?"
In such circumstances, he didn't know where else to recruit teachers from!
Cai Yue'er explained, "It's not so much a solution as a way to alleviate the current crisis!"
The latter nodded in understanding, "Please, speak your mind, Elder Cai!"
All the Elders of Sea God Pavilion, including Tang Wulin, were also looking towards her...
Cai Yue'er spoke confidently, "I believe that it is no longer practical to recruit teachers from the outside, at least not in the current situation."
"Therefore, we can utilize the strength of our returning inner court students, letting them take on the role of teachers!"
"After all, in terms of strength and insight, they are both sufficiently qualified!"
"What do you think, fellow Elders?"
Lan Muzi frowned, "Having inner court students serve as teachers, isn't that a bit too reckless?"
Tang Yinmeng was also full of concern, "True, their strength is not bad, but they don't have the qualifications to instruct students yet, do they?"
Yuanen Yehui's answer, however, was entirely different...
"I agree with this proposal. In extraordinary times, we must use extraordinary measures!"
