บท 1670: Chapter 1623 Plan Begins (Please Subscribe)_1

Tang Wulin quickly caught up with Gu Yue and grabbed her arm, frowning as he said, "Gu Yue, what exactly happened just now? I remember you saying yourself that you had this feeling!"

Gu Yue's behavior just now was too peculiar, and he feared that it concealed secrets unknown to others.

Gu Yue turned her head, her beautiful eyes growing colder as she glanced at him and said calmly, "That's just your imagination, I've never admitted to anything!"

At that moment, she felt like all her secrets had been exposed in front of Xu Sheng...

After all, her true identity as the Silver Dragon King, once revealed, would make it uncertain whether she could stay at Shrek Academy!

This would not only affect her purpose for being here, but also...

Therefore, she didn't want to continue the conversation, as it was too easy to slip up in her exchange with Xu Sheng!

A complex look appeared in Tang Wulin's eyes. "Gu Yue, after all we have been through, can't you trust Teacher Xu? Even if there is something disgraceful, he wouldn't divulge it!"

Gu Yue was taken aback, then said with an expressionless face, "It's not that I don't trust Teacher Xu, but there's no special connection between you and me. If there's nothing else, I will leave now."

With that, she broke free from Tang Wulin's grasp and left without looking back...

Watching her leave, Tang Wulin rubbed his head and said with a bitter smile, "What could it be? The relationship with Gu Yue was just beginning to thaw."

Now, he could clearly feel that the gap between them had deepened even more!

...

After leaving, Gu Yue leaned against the wall, her delicate body trembling continuously...

Suddenly, a voice arose from the depths of her heart, shockingly that of another personality!

"How long do you plan to conceal it? Or are you afraid to face Tang Wulin and the others?"

Gu Yue clenched her fist, and a few traces of confusion flitted through her eyes. "I... don't know, but I'll hide it for as long as I can."

When her identity was exposed, it might be time to part ways with Tang Wulin and the others.

Hearing this, the other personality sighed helplessly and said, "Ah, why put yourself through this? After so many years together, Teacher Xu must have noticed something to bring up this matter!"

Gu Yue took a deep breath and placed her hand over her chest, "I know all these... but I am the hope of the Soul Beast Clan! I cannot gamble with everyone's lives!"

Xu Sheng might accept her, but her companions, the students of her class, and the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, would they accept her identity as a soul beast?

All these were unknown!

Moreover, if she were to come to harm, the chances of the Soul Beast Clan's revival would be incredibly slim!

The other personality fell silent...

After a long time, they finally spoke again, "I am part of you, and I understand what lies in your heart very well, I hope you won't regret it later!"

Gu Yue coldly shouted in her heart, "Enough! The burdens you are unwilling to bear, I will take upon myself, so stop prying into my mind!"

Although they were fundamentally the same person, she abhorred the other's intrusion into her psyche!

Seeing that the other personality didn't respond, her expression turned cold again, and she headed in the direction of the Blacksmith Association...

Now that she had finally won over Zhen Hua, it was time for him to play his part...

...

In the Blacksmith Association's President's lounge...

There Zhen Hua tasted a dessert on the table and commented with a strange expression, "My old friend, has your cooking gotten worse?"

Dressed in a chef's attire, Mu Ye rolled his eyes and replied irritably, "It's clearly your taste that has become picky. Although I like cooking, developing new dishes always takes time!"

Zhen Hua burst into laughter, "Just kidding, just kidding. There are hardly any Soul Masters on the Continent whose culinary skills surpass yours, Mu Ye!"

Proudly puffing out his chest, Mu Ye said, "That's right..."

Zhen Hua's conversation suddenly took a turn, "But do you plan to stay here with me forever? That doesn't seem like something a Sect Master should do!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye casually replied, "The elders in the Body Sect can handle things without me worrying; besides, staying here allows me to check in on that kid every now and then."

As for the Sea God Pavilion Elder from the Body Sect who had promised to take Tang Wulin to the Body Sect last time, he's probably forgotten all about it!

Just then, a steady knocking sound came from the door, "President, Gu Yue has arrived in the hall."

Zhen Hua's eyes lit up, "My precious disciple is here, eh? Bring her in quickly!"

Mu Ye smirked, "Speaking of which, you really did strike gold with that girl. She's top-notch in both martial soul and forging talent! Her future achievements will definitely be no less than yours or mine."

Back then, he'd had his eye on Gu Yue too!

But from the perspective of the Body Sect, Tang Wulin was a better fit.

Zhen Hua took a sip of tea, proudly proclaiming, "Of course! The moment I saw this precious disciple of mine, I knew we were fated!"

Mu Ye gave him a knowing look, "Keep blowing your own trumpet. I don't believe for a second that Wulin wasn't the one you first had your eyes on."

It was probably after Tang Wulin rejected him that he turned to Gu Yue!

Zhen Hua coughed, "Ahem... Wulin has many teachers, so it's not appropriate to take him as a disciple!"

"Da da da," the sound of knocking rose from outside the door...

Zhen Hua came back to his senses and said, "Is that Gu Yue? Come in."

No sooner had he spoken than Gu Yue pushed the door open and entered the rest room...

She spoke respectfully, "Teacher, Sect Master Mu!"

Mu Ye waved his hand dismissively, "No need to be so formal; here, I'm just a chef."

Zhen Hua pointed to the sofa on the side, speaking in a gentle voice, "Gu Yue, take a seat first..."

Gu Yue shook her head, explaining, "Um... Teacher, I'm not here today for forging issues but to discuss something else with you!"

After saying this, she glanced at Mu Ye...

Seeing this, Zhen Hua immediately understood her implication and lightly said to Mu Ye with a smile, "Old buddy, could you step out for a minute? I need to have a brief talk with my precious disciple."

Their relationship was so close that such a request wouldn't offend the other party!

Mu Ye stretched lazily, "Alright, alright, your precious disciple is more important than this old buddy of yours, so be it. I'll go try out a new dish!"

After saying this, he gave Gu Yue a deep look and then strode off...

Gu Yue, carrying a hint of apology, said, "Teacher, about Sect Master Mu..."

Zhen Hua smiled, "It's fine, that's just how he is. Sit down and take your time; what is it that you want to discuss?"

He truly couldn't be more fond of this disciple...

Gu Yue didn't put on any airs either, taking a seat on the sleek sofa...

Zhen Hua lifted his cup of tea and took a light sip, "So, tell me, what did you want to discuss with your teacher?"

"If it's within my power, I'll make sure it's taken care of for you!"

Gu Yue's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said, "Teacher, it's like this..."
