Chapter 768: Vanished Without A Trace (2/2)

In reality, he didn't even bother to search for Na'er within the academy. With his powers, if he were to spread his spiritual power, he could easily sense everything within the entire academy and even the entirety of Shrek City.

However, he still found no traces of Na'er or even traces of her aura. It was as if she'd simply vanished off the face of this world.

Over at the Spirit PaG.o.da headquarters, Tang Wulin didn't receive any useful information. He couldn't find Gu Yue there, and he didn't belong to the Spirit PaG.o.da, so he had no access to any of their files and information. After that, the academy itself liaised with the Spirit PaG.o.da, only to be informed that Gu Yue hadn't visited the Spirit PaG.o.da for half a month already, so she naturally wasn't there now, either.

During the next three days, Tang Wulin and his friends searched through virtually every single corner of Shrek City, all to no avail.

Gu Yue had disappeared, as had Na'er, and there was no way to contact them.

Thus, Tang Wulin crashed down to earth from the peak of bliss and elation. After searching for three days without getting a single wink of sleep, he finally returned to Shrek Academy.

Instead of returning to the inner court, he returned to the dormitory for working students, which was already empty. There were no new students here, and everything was just as it had been prior to their departure to the Star Luo Continent.

He sat on the steps outside the dormitory building front door, and stared blankly into the distance. His perpetually bright eyes had completely dulled and were severely bloodshot.

Why did you leave? Why?!

They were finally together, and she'd admitted that she loved him, yet now, she was gone. Only then did Tang Wulin realize the enormity of the issue that plagued her. In her heart, even the entire Shrek Academy couldn't stand against the ones who were posing a threat to her. Otherwise, why would she have left?

As for Na'er, Tang Wulin's heart was racked with guilt. He was feeling extremely guilty that he hadn't stayed with Na'er that night to soothe and comfort her.

The combination of heartbreak and guilt made Tang Wulin feel as if he were enduring constant torment, and if anyone else were in his shoes, they would've most likely had a mental breakdown already. If it weren't for the resolve and mental fort.i.tude he'd built up through so much adversity, he would've most likely been a broken man at this point as well.

Na'er left him when she was six, and she'd left him again at 16 years of age.

Where was Na'er? And where was Gu Yue? Why did they have to leave? Why couldn't they stay and face everything together with him? Why did they all have to leave him?

Tang Wulin suddenly missed his days back in the Dragon Valley. He was constantly laboring through one boring day after another, but at least his heart was placid and calm. Even though he missed them every single day, at least he wasn't in this much pain.

”Wulin.” A gentle voice sounded beside him. Tang Wulin looked up to discover Dai Yun'er standing beside him. Behind her was the new couple, Long Yue and Xu Mi'er.

”I heard what happened. I don't know why she left, but seeing as you two love one another, then you should keep searching for her. Perhaps she'll come back one day,” Dai Yun'er consoled.

Tang Wulin merely shook his head in response.

Xu Mi'er strode over to him, and said, ”Get up! Don't be a coward. Let me ask you this; do you like her?”

Tang Wulin nodded without any hesitation. That was beyond doubt.
