Chapter 4135: Chapter 3884
Inside Shrek Outer Court's lounge!
Shen Yi made a cup of tea for Guo Xiaoxu, "Hall Master Guo, please enjoy the tea!"
The latter picked it up and took a sip, sighing, "I didn't expect the dean of Shrek Outer Court to be you, Shen Yi!"
Shen Yi did not show any dissatisfaction, smiling lightly, "Yes, I didn't expect it either. Maybe Elder Cai thinks I'm more hardworking!"
Guo Xiaoxu shook his head, "You can't say it like that. Elder Cai must think you're the most capable of managing the Outer Court!"
Shen Yi shrugged, "Perhaps, but as long as I can contribute a bit more to the academy, it's enough!"
Then, with some curiosity, "But Hall Master Guo, what brings you here to find Tang Wulin?"
Logically speaking, Tang Wulin shouldn't be that focused on at the Tang Sect, yet he managed to have a hall master personally come here!
Guo Xiaoxu nodded slightly and said calmly, "Yes, this matter is very important, and requires that child's presence!"
Shen Yi didn't press further, "Alright, please wait a moment then."
After about a few minutes, there was a knock on the lounge door…
Shen Yi spoke up, "Is that you, Wulin? Come in."
With these words, Tang Wulin opened the lounge door and walked in, first seeing Shen Yi and Guo Xiaoxu…
After nodding to Shen Yi, he turned to Guo Xiaoxu, "Hall Master Guo, long time no see!"
Behind him, Xie Xie and others echoed, "Hall Master Guo!"
Seeing so many people, Guo Xiaoxu couldn't help but frown, "This…"
Shen Yi immediately understood and coughed to cover his mouth, "Xie Xie, you all come out with me for a moment. Hall Master Guo is here specifically for Tang Wulin!"
Hearing this, a hint of grievance appeared on everyone's faces…
Of course, they did not express any dissatisfaction and left the lounge one after another…
After closing the door, Xie Xie, filled with curiosity, said, "What do you think Hall Master Guo came to discuss with Wulin that even we can't be told?"
Yue Zhengyu waved his hand, "Who knows! Let's ask Wulin after it's over, he probably won't be that stingy."
Xu Xiaoyan said with a hint of regret, "That's the way it is. I was hoping to watch some drama, sigh!"
...
When only Tang Wulin and Guo Xiaoxu were left in the lounge, the former was the first to break the silence, "Hall Master Guo, why have you come to see me this time…"
The latter pointed to the chair beside him, "No rush, sit first, and I'll explain slowly."
Tang Wulin sat down without any pretense, face as usual…
Guo Xiaoxu then continued, "Actually, this time, I've come to deliver a message to you from the Sect Leader!"
Tang Wulin urgently asked, "What is it?"
Suddenly, Guo Xiaoxu's expression turned a bit more serious, "Before I tell you, can you answer me, are you the appointed next Sea God Pavilion Leader by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion?"
Hearing this, Tang Wulin fell into hesitation…
This matter, besides the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the Shrek Seven Monsters, few people knew!
Seeing his dilemma, Guo Xiaoxu did not force him but said lightly, "If it feels difficult, you don't have to say it!"
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, "To be honest, Hall Master Guo, if nothing unexpected happens, I am indeed to be the next Sea God Pavilion Leader."
"Now, can you tell me what message the Sect Leader wanted to convey?"
Guo Xiaoxu nodded in satisfaction, "Of course! In fact, after discussing with the Sect Leader and other hall masters, we've decided to appoint you as the next Tang Sect Master!"
Tang Wulin stood up excitedly in disbelief, "What??"
To become the Tang Sect Master??
It turns out Xu Xiaoyan guessed it right!!
For the former to have such an excited reaction, Guo Xiaoxu understood and reassured, "Wulin, don't be so surprised, please sit down first!"
Tang Wulin swallowed and sat back down…
It took a while to calm his mind, with a complex expression, he said, "Hall Master Guo, the position of Tang Sect Master, how could it possibly be for me to inherit? After all, I haven't made any significant contributions!"
....
The next day!!
Tiandou Empire Palace!
Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi arrived outside a certain palace together…
The former glanced around and frowned, "Fengzhi, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to come here without an invitation?"
Although Xue Ye had allowed them free passage within the imperial palace, it wasn't as comfortable as being in the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi showed a faint smile, "Uncle Bone, since I've decided to instruct the Crown Prince, I must give it my all and not waste the morning."
Gu Rong was left speechless, "Fine, let's just say I didn't mention it just now!"
Then, Ning Fengzhi stepped forward to the palace door and knocked at a steady pace…
"Crown Prince!"
Almost instantly, a voice came from within the palace…
"Come in!"
Ning Fengzhi then pushed open the door and entered. The first thing he saw was Xue Qinghe holding a book, occasionally showing a thoughtful look…
Upon closer observation, one could find his room extremely tidy, beyond reproach…
Seeing that it was Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe immediately put down his book and stood up…
With some surprise, "Sect Master Ning? What brings you here!"
Ning Fengzhi replied in an exceedingly gentle tone, "I just happened to be passing by and thought I'd take a look. I didn't expect the Crown Prince not only to be so gifted but also to work so diligently!"
Xue Qinghe showed no change in expression, "Sect Master Ning flatters me, it's nothing much!!"
Ning Fengzhi didn't dwell on this topic, saying again, "By the way, Crown Prince, you haven't forgotten, right? Starting today, you'll be learning with me!"
Xue Qinghe's eyes sparkled, cupping his hands, "Of course, I haven't forgotten. It's an honor to receive guidance from Sect Master Ning!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded in satisfaction, "Very well, but since I'm the teacher and you're the student, we should change the forms of address!"
Xue Qinghe immediately understood and corrected himself, "I understand, teacher. Also, you can just call me Qinghe!"
Seeing the quick comprehension, Ning Fengzhi's smile deepened, "Alright, I won't decline then!"
Perhaps agreeing to become Xue Qinghe's teacher was the right choice!
As long as he is carefully nurtured, he might become an emperor surpassing Xue Ye!
Thinking of this, he looked toward the back at Gu Rong, and suggested, "Uncle Bone, please take care of Rongrong first. I wish to have a private conversation with Qinghe!"
Hearing this, Gu Rong instinctively refused…
"No way, I must ensure the safety of you, the Sect Master!"
Though Ning Fengzhi was a Sect Master, he was ultimately a support-class Soul Master, without his protection, in case of an attack, he would hardly protect himself!!
Ning Fengzhi merely smiled indifferently, unconcerned, "Uncle Bone, rest assured, this is the Tiandou Empire Palace, with tight security. Nothing will happen!"
Honestly, he wasn't too concerned about his safety!
