Yuanen Yehui's brows twitched slightly, "Since they refused, I'm afraid they don't want to continue any ties with Shrek Academy. This could be a bit troublesome."
Yue Zhengyu chimed in, "Yeah, if we don't get their permission, we can't just dig out the soul weapons buried below!"
Ye Xinglan then suggested, "Why don't we just buy that place? The Academy's funds are still quite ample recently, after all, there aren't as many expenses as before."
Xu Lizhi immediately agreed, "Mmm, Sister Xinglan's idea makes sense. As long as we offer a sufficient price, I'm sure they won't refuse, especially since they were once people of Shrek Academy!"
However, Xie Xie's expression was somewhat ambiguous and he did not affirm it…
Tang Wulin naturally noticed the former's unusual behavior and asked doubtfully, "Xie Xie, why aren't you saying anything, is this approach not feasible?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Xie clenched his teeth and explained, "Their current attitude towards Shrek Academy isn't very good. Honestly, even with a lot of money to buy that place, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"
His words surprised everyone, "No... really? They were once part of Shrek Academy, and now they're so hostile towards us??"
Xie Xie grimaced, somewhat helplessly saying, "Regarding this, I'm also baffled. Logically, if they really hated Shrek Academy, they wouldn't have set up an auction house on that site!"
Yue Zhengyu swallowed and an astonishing idea emerged in his mind...
"Could it be that what they hate isn't Shrek Academy, but rather because we didn't provide support in time, leading to that tragedy?"
Suddenly, everyone sharply turned their eyes towards him...
Yue Zhengyu covered his mouth and coughed, "Did I... say something wrong?"
He simply felt this possibility was quite likely!
Tang Wulin shook his head, explaining, "No... Zheng Yu, I think your suggestion is very worthwhile!"
Perhaps, as Zheng Yu said, they are simply disheartened because they didn't receive timely support!
This in turn made their attitude towards the people of Shrek Academy much worse!
Xu Xiaoyan turned to Xie Xie and asked, "Xie Xie, have you talked to them about this?"
The latter hesitated, "I didn't go into details. After all, as soon as I mentioned that I was an Elder of Shrek Academy, their expressions turned very ugly"
Xu Xiaoyan then breathed a sigh of relief, "Since they haven't directly refused, that means there's still a chance, but... sending ordinary students from the Inner and Outer Courts there, probably won't facilitate communication!"
Yuanen Yehui pursed his lips and following the former's remark, he continued, "Mmm... for this matter, at least a reliable Elder from the Sea God Pavilion needs to handle it. Who does everyone think would be suitable?"
As soon as these words fell, Ye Xinglan was the first to respond, "I personally think that the most suitable people to handle this situation are Elder Ya'li and Elder Cai. They have been with Shrek Academy for the longest time and have more credibility!"
"As for Wulin, who was only recently confirmed as the Pavilion Master, and us who have just been promoted here at the Sea God Pavilion, I'm afraid it's not quite fitting!"
Xu Xiaoyan also squinted, "I also think Elder Cai and Elder Ya'li would be more suitable. Perhaps they are more likely to agree to retrieve the soul weapons buried below on their account!"
Yue Zhengyu raised both hands, "I agree. After all, among us, it seems no one is adept at these kinds of things!"
Xu Lizhi nodded, "I have no objections, let's do it that way."
Tang Wulin looked around at everyone, "It seems everyone agrees. Having Elder Cai and Elder Ya'li handle this matter will indeed increase the chances of success!"
If the other party truly disagrees, then we might have to resort to more forceful methods!
After all, those soul weapons are too important; they might even determine whether we can stand against the evil Soul Masters of the Douling Empire!
Immediately afterward, he turned his gaze toward the Sea God's Lake ahead and sighed, "However, the most pressing issue to resolve right now is still the problem with Sea God's Lake. Elder Cai was very angry when he heard about this and instructed us to restore it to its former state within three days!"
Wanting to restore it to its original state within three days is indeed a massive undertaking!
At least, just relying on themselves, working nonstop day and night for three days might not be enough to achieve it!
Instantly, everyone seemed deflated and showed painful expressions on their faces...
There was no choice, the sins they committed naturally had to be repaid!
Tang Wulin scratched his head, "Well... everyone doesn't need to make such faces, I have already informed the students from the inner and outer courts, and they are all willing to help us!"
The eyes of the crowd suddenly brightened...
If the students from both the inner and outer courts were to help, then fixing the Sea God's Lake shouldn't be too troublesome!
"Alright, what are we waiting for, let's start working,"
...
Meanwhile, at the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Ya'li, who was watching this scene, covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, "Elder Cai, are you actually angry this time? Demanding that Wulin and the others fix the Sea God's Lake within three days isn't something that can be done quickly!"
Cai Yue'er snorted dismissively, "Elder Ya'li, how could I be angry over such a trivial matter? It's just that they made a decision on their own without listening to my opinion!"
"Could it be that I am such a pedantic person?"
Even just notifying her in advance before starting the actions wouldn't have been too late!
But instead, they only sent Yin Meng to divert her attention!
This made her feel extremely uncomfortable at heart, and more so, it was the feeling of being untrusted!
Upon hearing this, Elder Ya'li suddenly realized, "I see, here I thought you were actually angry, Elder Cai. It turns out you just wanted to get back at Wulin and the others!"
Cai Yue'er coughed slightly and explained, "Elder Ya'li, I must emphasize, this isn't about revenge, it's just that they were the ones who damaged the Sea God's Lake, so naturally, they should be responsible for fixing it!"
Elder Ya'li did not pursue further questions, "Alright, then what about Yin Meng? She doesn't seem to be with Wulin and the others!"
Upon mentioning Tang Yinmeng, Cai Yue'er's expression visibly worsened...
However, she still replied calmly, "Yin Meng has probably been too idle recently. I've found some tasks for her; she should find them fulfilling!"
"Fulfilling? She might turn out to be more obedient after she completes these tasks..."
Of course, these were only thoughts that Elder Ya'li kept to herself...
Cai Yue'er, sensing something, asked suspiciously, "Elder Ya'li, you wouldn't happen to be thinking of something incredibly offensive, would you?"
Elder Ya'li's expression stiffened, and she chuckled, "Elder Cai is joking. Why would I think of such things, right, Yun Ming?"
As she spoke, she looked at the divine-powered spear she was holding in her hands...
