Chapter 4137: Chapter 3886
Next day!
Outside the cabin, Xie Xie knocked on the door and called out, "Wulin, Wulin, are you up yet? You wouldn't be lazing in bed, would you?"
However, there was no sound from inside...
This made the nearby Gu Yue and others show expressions of doubt...
Normally, Tang Wulin was always the first among them to get up, saying he needed to absorb some kind of purple energy...
Xu Xiaoyan frowned, "Hmm? Why is there no sound at all? Could it be that this guy is really still asleep?"
Xu Lizhi scratched his head, pondering, "Maybe Wulin was too tired last night?"
Xie Xie rolled his eyes, "Yesterday was just some dancing. Even you, as a support-class Soul Master, didn't get tired, so how could Wulin feel fatigued?"
Gu Yue, sensing something was wrong, coldly said, "Something has definitely happened. Let's force the door open!"
"Alright, let me do it!"
Ye Xinglan's eyes turned fierce as she released the Star God Sword and injected her powerful Soul Power into it, slicing at the cabin door...
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
It took three deafening crashes for the cabin door to crash down...
After entering the cabin, what met their eyes was none other than Tang Wulin, unconscious in the corner!
Gu Yue rushed over immediately, quickly stooping down to assess the situation...
After confirming there was no danger, she spoke to the others, "Wulin is just in a deep sleep, nothing to worry about!"
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief...
Xie Xie clenched his fist and coldly said, "Damn, Wulin couldn't have fallen asleep on the ground out of nowhere. Could it be those Xingluo Royal Academy did something last night?!"
Xu Xiaoyan nodded and rarely showed an angry expression, "It's possible. If it really is them, we absolutely cannot let them off easily!"
Ye Xinglan forced herself to calm down, shaking her head and saying, "I don't think so. We just had a conflict with them; if they did act, we would suspect them first!"
Gu Yue also calmly stated, "Hmm, Xingluo Royal Academy wouldn't do something so foolish!"
Xu Lizhi's honest face showed a look of suggestion, "Then what should we do? We can't just let Wulin suffer this grievance for nothing!"
Just as everyone was at a loss, Lin Yuhan, in a golden dress and with a smile, stepped over...
Finding Gu Yue and the group there, she was quite surprised, "Hey, you all are here?"
Already irritated by Tang Wulin's situation, Xie Xie said with displeasure, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Yuhan hesitated and explained, "Wulin agreed to discuss forging matters with me this morning."
Xu Xiaoyan frowned, "Wulin didn't agree to that; it's your unilateral decision!"
Ye Xinglan agreed, "Yeah, I can vouch for that!"
Lin Yuhan's face also turned cold, "No matter what, this has nothing to do with you all, right? I'm looking for Tang Wulin!"
These people, why are they always getting in my way!
Xu Lizhi leaned closer to Gu Yue and whispered, "Gu Yue, do you think this girl did something? She just talked to Wulin yesterday about coming today, and then the incident happened last night!"
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes narrowed as she stood up from the ground, staring at Lin Yuhan, "Wulin was attacked last night and is still asleep! Are you here to say anything about this?"
Following this statement, the others turned their suspicious gazes on Lin Yuhan...
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuhan looked around the room and spotted Tang Wulin lying on the ground...
She instantly understood why these Shrek Academy students were looking at her with such peculiar eyes!
After slightly furrowing her brows, "You suspect that I did it?"
Gu Yue countered, "Yesterday, you were the only one behaving strangely when interacting with us, so we can't help but suspect!"
Lin Yuhan bit her thin lips, "This is just a coincidence, Wulin's attack has nothing to do with me!"
What benefit would she get from attacking Tang Wulin?
...
The guest elder respectfully said, "Yes, Your Majesty, although Shrek Academy was heavily hit, it has the reputation of being the number one academy on the Land. As long as it can develop steadily, it won't take long to reach the summit again!"
"Furthermore, the matter you ordered to investigate has results!"
Dai Tianling's eyes showed deep anger, "Oh? Tell me!"
The Xingluo Land's docks turned into Purgatory overnight, and it even happened during the exchange tournament; how could this not catch his attention!
So upon receiving the news, he immediately ordered an investigation!
The guest elder's eyes flickered, "Your Majesty, the Soul Masters who died at the docks met gruesome ends. It's a hundred percent certain that evil Soul Masters did it! And... the remaining evil aura is very strong; I'm afraid there are a lot of them!"
Dai Tianling touched his chin, pondering, "So... are these evil Soul Masters likely stealthily from Douluo Continent?"
As far as he understood, the evil Soul Masters in Xingluo Land were not colluding and were basically scattered around the Xingluo Land, making it difficult to gather such a large group!
The only possibility is that these evil Soul Masters came from the Holy Spirit Cult on Douluo Continent!
The guest elder pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Majesty, given these events, I suggest increasing the defense of Xingluo Land's exchange activities. If evil Soul Masters want to seize the chance to attack during the tournament, it would be easier to respond!"
Dai Tianling glanced at him, "Hmm, I'll leave this to you. Ensure the exchange tournament is absolutely safe!"
After all, the participants in the exchange activities are very important to each force. If there are any casualties because of this, he, as the Xingluo Empire's Emperor, would find it hard to calm the anger of the major powers!
The guest elder bowed slightly, "Yes, Your Majesty! Then I will take my leave!"
At this point, Dai Tianling helplessly looked in a certain direction, "No one is here; come out!"
However, there was no response in the palace...
Dai Tianling spoke again, "Yun'er, stop pretending, you can't hide your Soul Power aura."
As soon as these words fell, a head peeked out from behind the cover, somewhat sheepishly exclaiming, "Heeheehee... Father, how did you know I was eavesdropping?"
Then walked up to him...
Dai Tianling, somewhat bemused, said, "Only you can be so willful!"
After pausing, he asked, "Alright, what do you want to ask me?"
After the conversation just now, his mood was very bad, and he wasn't very patient...
Dai Yun'er seemed aware of Dai Tianling's grim expression and straightforwardly said, "Father, you promised me last time that I could choose my own teacher. Does that still count?"
Dai Tianling nodded slightly, "I said it myself, of course it counts!"
Dai Yun'er's eyes lit up, "Alright then, I want to go see the Youthful Soul Master Competition, maybe I'll find a suitable mentor!"
