Within the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!
The Azure Oxpython sat solemnly on a stool, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the young soul beasts in front of him...
Soon, he could not help but sigh and say, "Eh, it's been several days since my second brother left the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, and I don't know if he has managed to convey the message to Wulin!"
"If anything happened on the way, that would be troublesome!"
He had originally planned to go personally, but considering that the Ten Thousand Beast Platform needed someone to maintain it, and Titan Ape didn't know how to deal with Gu Yuena and others, he stayed behind...
As his words fell, the soul beasts seemed to sense his emotions and crowded around him, affectionately rubbing against him...
It seemed that they were conveying a certain message...
The Azure Oxpython came back to his senses, chuckled softly, then gently stroked their heads...
"Okay, I know you all are concerned about me, but don't worry, I'm fine!"
"Go play!"
Receiving this response, the soul beasts, appearing to somewhat understand, nodded their heads and continued to frolic around...
At this moment, Bi Ji stepped forward, speaking with a complex expression, "Azure Oxpython, I didn't expect you to be so dedicated to these Artificial Spirit Beasts!"
If one had not witnessed it with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe that the Azure Oxpython, who had transformed into a human, would treat soul beasts like this!
The Azure Oxpython glanced at her and said indifferently, "Bi Ji? You're not here again to ask about the same question as last time, are you?"
"If that's the case, my answer remains unchanged."
Bi Ji was undeterred and continued on her own, "I informed His Majesty about Titan Ape's departure from the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!"
The Azure Oxpython raised an eyebrow, "Oh? What did Gu Yuena say?"
Although he had anticipated it, he did not expect that the former would take the initiative to speak out!
Bi Ji spoke again, "His Majesty didn't say much, instead, she trusts both you and Titan Ape very much!"
"To be honest, I can't understand why His Majesty wouldn't suspect you both!"
The Azure Oxpython replied with an unchanged expression, "Really, that means you, Bi Ji, are worried that we will betray the Spirit Pagoda, right?"
Bi Ji's eyes sharpened, "Exactly, I don't trust you, and I was even against allowing these soul beasts to coexist with you in the forbidden area!"
"But... since His Majesty is willing to trust you, I am also willing to give you my trust!!"
The Azure Oxpython looked straight at her and spoke word by word, "Then you probably won't be disappointed, because neither my second brother nor I will betray the Spirit Pagoda, of course, we won't help either!"
"Simply put, our stance is more like neutrality!"
Bi Ji's beautiful eyes flickered, "Neutrality?"
It seems that Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython do not intend to assist either humans or soul beasts!
Instead, they chose to adopt the perspective of bystanders!
Perhaps, this was not a bad choice!
At least, it would not interfere with the continuing unfolding of the Spirit Pagoda's next steps!
After taking a deep breath, her tone softened considerably, "Then, I'll ask one last time, where has Titan Ape gone? If you are unwilling to answer, I won't force you, but I hope you won't deceive me with lies."
The Azure Oxpython fell silent...
After a few seconds, he finally spoke, "Now that it has come to this, there's no harm in telling you. My second brother left the Spirit Pagoda this time to convey a few words to Tang Wulin!"
Bi Ji instantly perked up, "Convey a few words? Is the person the Sea God?"
The former shook his head, "I can't reveal that."
Bi Ji did not press further but turned away, "I understand, then, I shall take my leave!"
But just after taking a few steps, she paused...
"Right, starting today, I won't be surveilling the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, whatever you and the Titan Ape want to do is none of my business!"
Since I've chosen to trust the other party, there is no need to continue surveilling!
Because, it's meaningless!!
...
On the other hand, the Titan Ape, exhausted, stopped to catch his breath...
He frowned and cursed, "Damn, that guy Wulin, where the hell did he go!"
"There's no trace of him at either Tang Sect or Shrek Academy!"
Suddenly, he turned sharply, staring at the empty space behind him, "Who?? Come out!"
As his words fell, a woman who had been hiding in the back walked out calmly, saying without changing her expression, "Sir, please don't be nervous, I mean no harm!"
The Titan Ape couldn't help but increase his vigilance, interrogating, "Who are you? Why are you tracking me!"
The woman's strength must be at least that of a Hyper Douluo, otherwise, she would have been exposed under my spiritual probe!
Upon hearing this, the woman introduced herself, saying "I am Cai Yue'er, an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion from Shrek Academy!"
The Titan Ape was surprised, "Someone from Shrek Academy?"
He remained on guard in his heart...
Cai Yue'er nodded, "That's correct. The reason I tracked you is because I sensed a foreign spiritual power probing Shrek Academy."
"I'm not sure why you're doing this, but if you're looking for someone, perhaps I can help."
After a moment of hesitation, the Titan Ape still spoke up, "I'm looking for Tang Wulin, but I haven't sensed his presence at Shrek Academy!"
Cai Yue'er expressed her skepticism, "Looking for Wulin, don't you know that he has already gone to the Douling Empire?"
The Titan Ape's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "What?? Douling Empire? What's that kid doing in a place like that!"
No wonder I couldn't find him after searching for several days; I didn't expect him to have left for the Douling Empire!!
Cai Yue'er observed his reaction and thought to herself, "Judging by this man's attitude towards Wulin, he seems to be quite familiar with him, he should not be an enemy!"
After making a judgment, she probed further, "May I ask what business you have with Wulin? You can tell me, and I will personally relay it to him once he returns to the Academy."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she was met with a stern refusal from the Titan Ape...
"This matter, I must tell Tang Wulin myself, no one else will do!"
"Of course, using a soul tool to communicate is also not acceptable."
Seeing this, Cai Yue'er could only sigh, putting on a helpless expression, "Well, in that case, you'll probably have to go to the Douling Empire yourself!"
With a cold "hmpf," the Titan Ape vanished without looking back...
Although it was annoying to be tracked by someone, at least he now had information about Tang Wulin's whereabouts in the Douling Empire!
Cai Yue'er also didn't expect him to leave so decisively and felt a relief in her heart...
"It seems that this man indeed came looking for Wulin, most likely on some very important business!"
Anyway, at least he wasn't a spy sent by the Ghost Emperor to probe into Shrek Academy!
Otherwise, the next ones to come might be a fully-armed Evil Soul Master Army!!
Shrek Academy, as it is now, simply cannot withstand any major turmoil...
