Chapter 133

~7 min read 1,326 words

Watching Cai Yue'er's disheveled figure leave, Xiong Jun let out a disdainful hmph and returned to the top floor.

When Xiong Jun looked at them, Tang Wulin immediately straightened his back, his eyes shining brightly as he gazed at Xiong Jun, his face written all over with "my master is the most awesome," which made Xiong Jun very satisfied; he stepped forward and patted his head, "You are my disciple; on this continent, there are still few who can touch Xiong Jun's disciple."

Tang Wulin only felt his nose suddenly turn a bit sore; he nodded forcefully, his voice somewhat choked, "Thank you, Teacher."

At the moment Cai Yue'er released her aura at the end just now, he was truly very afraid.

Seeing this, Xiong Jun's rough large hand lightly patted his shoulder, then turned his head to look at the other few people, his gaze lingering for an instant longer on Gu Yue Na, "You few little guys too; since you are my disciple's friends, you are under my protection."

Xie Xie was so excited he almost jumped up; Luo Yulu pressed down his shoulder with one hand before he could lose composure; the latter let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Thank you, Tower Master Xiong Jun, for intervening."

"Let's skip the polite words. That's it then, all disperse; the negotiation with Shrek Academy I'll handle." Xiong Jun waved his hand, "I'll wait right here for them, see if the next one dares to be this overbearing."

Hearing this, Luo Yulu surveyed the room ruined beyond recognition all around, and said with a bitter smile: "Then we'll take our leave first."

Today's matter will probably blow up big.

Everyone ignored Shen Yi, who remained in the corner of the room breaking out in cold sweat, and walked straight out of the room.

But after a moment, after Shen Yi "fled" from here, Gu Yue Na walked in again.

"Master."

Xiong Jun, who had stayed here all along, saluted Gu Yue Na.

"Mm."

Gu Yue Na nodded flatly and said: "There's something I need to remind you about, it concerns Tang Wulin..."

Hearing the intelligence Gu Yue Na conveyed, Xiong Jun's expression changed slightly, but he quickly thought of another matter and asked with a strange look: "Master, may I know the source of the intelligence?"

These intelligences contain obvious subjective speculation; he couldn't deduce them himself, so these intelligences obviously aren't something the Master could deduce either... cough cough, can't think like that.

Gu Yue Na's fine brows furrowed slightly, "When the timing is ripe I will naturally tell you."

The Master has secrets now.

This was Xiong Jun's first thought; the second thought was that he'd best not pry deeper, so he nodded and said:

"I understand."

Gu Yue Na nodded in satisfaction.

She just knew it; she, the Silver Dragon King, full of majesty.

Watching Gu Yue Na's soft-cute nodding motion, Xiong Jun seemed to see the scene of the other party as a child being taught and cared for by them, learning human common sense; subconsciously he reached back and took out a storage ring.

"Master, short on money? Eating well lately? I have all kinds of Star Dou specialties here."

"Very good..."

Gu Yue Na subconsciously gave that reply, then immediately reacted; her cold face couldn't hold.

Majesty, shattered in an instant.

And while Gu Yue Na and Xiong Jun exchanged intelligence, Tang Wulin sought out Huo Yuhao; amid the latter's puzzled expression, his face showed reminiscence.

"Dad and Mom are doing very well; the Spirit Pagoda takes good care of us. Don't worry about us, just go compete, strive for a good ranking. Our Wulin is a resounding genius in forging."

Parents' gentle words before departure.

"Big Brother, why are you always so partial to Na-jie and Wulin? Can't be just because they're big eaters you only prepare food for them. I want some too."

Class Zero classmates playing together, eating together — the scenes are always joyful, warm.

"Wulin, cultivation speed not bad ah, raised eight ranks in one year, already 19th Rank."

Without Teacher Luo and the Spirit Pagoda's care for him, with his cultivation speed, how could he possibly raise eight ranks of soul power in just one year?

"You are my disciple; on this continent, there are still few who can touch Xiong Jun's disciple."

Teacher Xiong Jun's protectiveness.

Tang Wulin recalled all experiences of this recent period; finally the scales directly tipped to one side, and he said solemnly: "Yuhao, before there was a voice in my head that kept wanting to teach me to be a bad person; he also taught me Shrek's school motto."

Although Dad and Mom said not to generalize from an individual to the collective, but Shrek Academy's behavior recently has given Wulin no good impression; his feeling toward that school motto goes without saying.

Thinking it was Tang Wulin wanting food, Huo Yuhao who had already prepared to take some out: "..."

Isn't it that person he imagined?

Tang Wulin, who spoke the first sentence, felt he had relaxed a lot; expression complex, "I roughly know who that person is, but he has helped me; before I didn't know whether I should tell others."

"Just, if he is a bad person, I feel like I'm a time bomb; might one day in the future harm everyone, so I wanted to find you to discuss."

He knew judging Lao Tang's good or bad based on mere guesswork was wrong; might be a misunderstanding; but always hesitating, when the problem becomes prominent, what would he do then?

Moreover even if "Lao Tang" isn't a bad person, being able to instruct him in dreams shows there's another existence inside his body.

Decide when you must decide — that's the principle Teacher Luo told him; can't keep waiting for crisis to erupt.

Of course, this is also his selfishness at work. He has an inexplicable premonition: if he keeps concealing this matter without resolving it, his currently happy life will gradually drift away from him...

Thinking this, Tang Wulin laid out the matter of the Golden Dragon King Seal one by one.

"..."

Tang San, you've been backstabbed.

Huo Yuhao tried his best to hold it in, to avoid revealing a strange expression.

"Lately besides eating you're always staring at the soul guidance light screen, that's you pondering this matter, right? Talking to me today is also because Shrek Academy's recent behavior made you even more wary of him?"

"Mm," Tang Wulin nodded, expression solemn, "If Lao Tang is a good person, it means there's still a bad person inside my body. If Lao Tang is a bad person..."

Speaking here, Tang Wulin paused, sighed, didn't continue, just stared at Huo Yuhao, wanting to know his advice.

Ever since the guess arose, he's been very anxious lately...

Huo Yuhao: "... You shouldn't ask me; do you think I can resolve this matter?"

"I just want to hear Classmate Yuhao's opinion."

Huo Yuhao looked at Tang Wulin's somewhat nervous expression, fell silent for a moment, and said: "The answer is in your heart, not with me..."

A moment later, Tang Wulin found Xiong Jun Teacher, whose mood was equally complex.

Previously he didn't know how to resolve it, after all such a thing was too incredible, not something an ordinary person could resolve.

But now it was different.

A top powerhouse of the Continent—Xiong Jun Teacher accepting him as a disciple; if the other party couldn't resolve this matter, then no one could resolve it.

This was also an important reason for him to lay his cards on the table.

A teacher is like a father; if even the teachers of the Spirit Pagoda cannot be trusted, there are not many people in this world who can be trusted.

Today—laying his cards on the table.

(Tang San's Divine Sense: "Wu Lin, you don't want to!")
