Afterward, Xu Xiaoyan and Yue Zhengyu bought some very expensive food to reward the students who participated in the repair of Sea God's Lake…
Their bellies stuffed, each of them showed an immensely satisfied expression…
"Awesome, I didn't expect that helping the Elders of Sea God Pavilion repair Sea God's Lake would even come with a reward, burp!"
"Yeah, I thought repairing Sea God's Lake was something every student should do. Getting to have a feast is an unexpected pleasure!"
"Exactly, exactly, it's not often that the academy treats us to a meal, so naturally we should eat and drink to our hearts' content!"
"Don't think it was just a simple meal. I remember clearly that each of these foods was very expensive and has excellent nourishing effects for Soul Masters. Clearly, the academy prepared this specially!"
"Eh? There's even a nourishing effect? Now that you mention it, these foods aren't ordinary at all. No wonder after eating, I feel a warm energy in all my limbs, as if a wave of energy has entered me!"
"Hehe, I can feel it too, my Soul Power rank that has been stagnant for so long seems to be on the verge of breaking through. The academy really went all out this time"
"I'm feeling it too, and if nothing goes wrong, I might break through a level tonight. It's really great!"
Seeing these discussing students, Ye Xinglan chuckled and covered her mouth, "It seems the students are very satisfied with such a reward. I originally thought they would be displeased!"
Yuanen Yehui explained, "They must have realized that these foods are not ordinary and have a nourishing effect on Soul Masters!"
Even the few of them had never had the chance to taste such delicacies before!
Yue Zhengyu crossed his arms with a very proud look, "Hehe, it doesn't matter, as long as they are satisfied, it's all worth it for Xiaoyan and me to have gone to such lengths to collect these precious ingredients!"
Xu Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "Yes, as long as the students are happy, that's what matters. Even though no substantial reward was given, it's nice to see everyone sitting together so harmoniously and enjoying the meal!"
Xu Lizhi blinked and stealthily glanced at Tang Wulin, praising him, "This is all thanks to Wulin's idea. You are more and more like a Pavilion Master!"
Tang Wulin also cracked a rare joke, "Ahem, Lizhi, you speak falsely. I've been the Sea God Pavilion Master for quite a while now!"
Xu Lizhi immediately admitted his mistake, scratching his head and saying, "Right, right, right, I misspoke. Wulin, you've always been the Pavilion Master, hehe!"
Just then, Cai Yue'er and Elder Ya'li approached…
The former first swept her gaze over the students present before saying to Tang Wulin, "Wulin, looking at this situation, Sea God's Lake has already been restored, no?"
At Sea God's Pavilion, she had already noticed that Sea God's Lake had been mostly restored, with basically no major issues left!
Tang Wulin came back to his senses and nodded in reply, "Yes, Elder Cai, with the help of these inner and outer court students, we've managed to repair Sea God's Lake in just a few short days. However, to ensure it's completely flawless, we will need to check again in a few days!"
Cai Yue'er nodded slightly, "I see, that's good. However, this time you all kept this from me and took it upon yourselves to do something like this to Sea God's Lake; it was really too much."
"Especially you, as the Pavilion Master. If it hadn't been handled well, it could have only led to criticism!"
Tang Wulin didn't argue but accepted the admonition with humility, "You're right in your teaching, Elder Cai. We went too far, keeping such an important matter from you!"
The other Elders of Sea God Pavilion also appeared somewhat guilty…
Cai Yue'er waved her hand dismissively, "Enough, since Sea God's Lake has been restored, I won't dwell on it any further."
"However, in the future, whatever you do, you must tell me about it. I may be old, but I am not a stick in the mud!"
Tang Wulin finally let out a breath, "Elder Cai, you are indeed generous and magnanimous!"
If this incident had caused any grudge, that would have been quite troublesome!
Ya Li covered her mouth and chuckled, "Wulin, you all have worked hard to repair Sea God's Lake these days, even though it was you who destroyed it!"
Although the damage to Sea God's Lake previously seemed quite extensive, in reality, they cleverly avoided crucial areas; otherwise, even with the help of so many inner court students, it couldn't have been fixed in such a short time!
Tang Wulin gave a wry smile, "Elder Ya'li, please don't joke about us. At that time, none of us realized that the Sea God's Lake mentioned by Senior Qian Yu wasn't inside the newly built Shrek Academy!"
Yuanen Yehui affirmed, "Yes, Elder Ya'li, at that time we were only thinking about finding soul weapons and didn't consider so much!"
Xu Xiaoyan shifted all the blame to Xie Xie, "Mhm, it's all Xie Xie's fault for not saying it earlier, otherwise this kind of thing could have been avoided!"
The latter's forehead darkened, "Hey, Xiao Yan, this isn't something you can blame on me, right? Didn't everyone miss that?"
Ye Xinglan explained, "Xie Xie, don't mind it. Xiao Yan is just joking. After all, we all treated this place like the real Shrek Academy. It's understandable that we missed this detail!"
Xie Xie curled his lips, "I know it's a joke, or else, I would have retorted long ago!"
A few traces of gratification appeared on Ya'li's face, "Everyone is now an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, and you still talk the same way as before, which isn't bad at all!"
At least, they were all working hard for the future of Shrek Academy now!
This further proved that Yun Ming's decision to appoint Tang Wulin as the Pavilion Master back then was the right choice!
Thinking of this, she spoke again, "Let's not discuss these topics anymore. Since Sea God's Lake has been repaired, consider it a day off and take a good rest!"
Upon hearing this, everyone thought it made sense and nodded in agreement...
...
As for the people from the Spirit Pagoda embedded within Shrek Academy!
Watching the harmonious scene in front of them, they all fell silent...
After a long while, they spoke with some frustration, "What... what exactly is going on here? Weren't the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion the ones who destroyed Sea God's Lake? Why are they repairing it deliberately?"
"Could it be that they have nothing better to do? So they destroyed it and then fixed it?"
"It's unlikely, most likely the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion have found something below Sea God's Lake, and that's why they have reconstructed it!"
"Impossible, we have been watching from a high place the whole time. The Elders of the Sea God Pavilion didn't find anything at all; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were wasting their time!"
"Nothing is impossible. The strength of these Elders of the Sea God Pavilion is above Hyper Douluo. It's a piece of cake for them to take away something without being noticed. Of course, we can't rule out another possibility!"
"That is, I, who have been secretly watching, have long been discovered. All of this has been for show!!!"
