Elder Ya'li, who was watching the scene unfold, softly inquired, "Elders, isn't it a bit too early to tell the Tang Sect disciples about this now?"
We've only just chosen the site; to fully construct the entire Tang Sect, it will take at least several months!
Upon hearing this, the Mintang Hall Master, Liang Xiaoyu gave a wry smile and said, "Elder Ya'li, we do this to let the Tang Sect disciples know not to lose hope."
"Moreover, with so many Tang Sect disciples temporarily residing at Shrek Academy, the entire outer court is extremely crowded, bringing lots of trouble. Even though the students don't say anything, we're all well aware of it!"
Guo Xiaoxu, the Battle Soul Hall Master, also expressed her gratitude, "Yes, Elder Ya'li, including yourself, for the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion to agree to help us rebuild the Tang Sect is already the greatest kindness!"
She paused for a moment, her cheeks showing several strands of desolation, "It's just a pity our Sect Leader sacrificed himself, otherwise..."
Due to the sacrifice of Cao Zhide and the senior members of the Tang Sect, the Tang Sect of Soul Land now pales in comparison to the Tang Sect of the Xingluo Continent...
To put it simply... they had gradually fallen from being the headquarters to merely a branch!
Elder Ya'li was stunned for a moment, then softly said, "Is that so... then I have nothing else to say!"
While they were discussing, among the Tang Sect disciples below, there were a few
One could see Xie Xie with a face full of black lines saying, "Speaking of which... why do we have to gather here too?"
Xu Xiaoyan gave him a look as if he were an idiot, "Xie Xie, are you a fool? Didn't we already join the Tang Sect back when we were in the Xingluo Land? Otherwise, how could we have learned the Tang Sect Secret Technique?"
Tang Wulin nodded, "Yes, even though we can choose not to stay at the Tang Sect thanks to our identity as Shrek students, we still need to take part in necessary matters! This is also a rule of the Tang Sect!"
Wu Siduo said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, joining the Tang Sect was just an accident for me."
She had no particular feelings for the Tang Sect; right now, what she wanted to do most was to advance to a Soul Emperor as soon as possible and then join the Inner Court!
Ye Xinglan blinked her beautiful eyes, "Wu Siduo, it's not good to say that. After all, we've learned the Tang Sect Secret Technique and gained some benefits."
Wu Siduo glanced at her but did not voice any rebuttal...
Meanwhile, Gu Yue spoke to Tang Wulin in a voice that only he could hear, "Wulin, could I trouble you to accompany me to the Blacksmith Association later?"
Tang Wulin replied, "The Blacksmith Association? Gu Yue, what are you going there for?"
Since Gu Yue's change in personality, this was the first time she had invited him to go somewhere together!
Gu Yue explained with some guilt, "I... I want to see my teacher; after all, it's been a long time since I've been there."
Tang Wulin exclaimed, "Teacher? That's right, I remember now, Gu Yue, you have taken the President as your teacher!"
Then with a suspicious look on his face, he said, "But I get the feeling you haven't been away for a long time, rather it's like you've just remembered you have this teacher!"
Whenever he visited the Blacksmith Association, the President would always be prodding him to let Gu Yue know...
But... he seemed to have forgotten about it too!
Gu Yue, with her subterfuge pierced, didn't bother to hide it and stated bluntly, "Anyway, that's the situation. Are you willing? If not, forget it!"
Tang Wulin replied without hesitation, "Willing, of course, I'm willing! It's a good opportunity for me to try my hand as well, and to ask the President a question about forging!"
Yet Gu Yue coldly said, "No!"
This icy voice filled Tang Wulin's mind with question marks...
His face revealed a puzzled expression, "????"
Did he upset Gu Yue?
But he hadn't said anything out of line!
Realizing that her own behavior might have been a bit extreme, Gu Yue's tone softened slightly, "Sorry... Sorry, Wulin, I didn't mean to do that, but I have a very important matter to discuss with the teacher, so..."
Although she had asked him for a favor, to explode in anger was somewhat unreasonable!
Before she could finish speaking, Tang Wulin smiled and said, "I understand, Gu Yue. When there's a chance later on, I'll go and ask the President on my own."
Gu Yue was usually very calm, and such an action from her was rare, indicating that it must be something very important!
In that case, it's better to put my own issues aside for now!
With gratitude, Gu Yue glanced at Tang Wulin, "Tha...thank you, Wulin."
...
In the Blacksmith Association, inside Zhen Hua's office!
Several slightly aged middle-aged men were sitting around!
They began to banter, "President, we heard you've taken on an apprentice, but why haven't we seen them around for so long!"
"Yes, I remember it was a female student from Shrek Academy. Poor thing, the Divine Craftsman of our continent finally takes an apprentice and then forgets about her."
"Hahahaha, I think it's possible, after all, she's a girl... Even if she's talented, that doesn't mean she'll be interested in forging!"
Zhen Hua said helplessly, "You guys! Really can't keep your mouths shut!"
However... his apprentice hadn't come to visit him since she left.
Perhaps, just as they said, she had forgotten about him...
Thinking about it, he, the Divine Craftsman of the continent, really was humble!
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door...
Zhen Hua snapped out of his thoughts and said, "Come in."
The receptionist who pushed the door open and approached him, slightly bowed and whispered into his ear, "President... "
After hearing what she said, Zhen Hua replied with satisfaction, "Well then! It seems she hasn't forgotten this old man after all!"
This scene left the other core members of the Blacksmith Association dazed...
"President, what's happening? Why are you suddenly in such a good mood?"
"Yes, you weren't even this happy when you crafted a Four-Word Battle Armor!"
"Could it be that you've encountered some good fortune? Come on, tell us about it!"
In the face of their curious inquiries, Zhen Hua stood up from his seat, pompously saying, "My apprentice has just arrived at the association. I won't keep you old men company any longer!"
That'll show you guys for laughing at me just now, now you're the ones looking foolish!
The moment he said this, the Forging Masters' eyes widened, "Really? This apprentice of yours suddenly remembers you after so long, could there be another motive?"
"That's not likely, the President's judgment of character is never off. If she were that kind of person, how could she have been accepted as a disciple!"
"Hmm... That is true indeed!!"
Zhen Hua waved his hand, "Enough, you old fellows can rest here. I'm going to see my precious disciple!"
...
Meanwhile, in the exclusive kitchen of the Blacksmith Association, a chef wearing a white hat and deeply focused seemed to sense a familiar soul power fluctuation...
Surprised, he said, "Hmm? This aura is... that kid!"
