A faint smile appeared on Yun Ming's face. ”I'm not worried about that; not only is he one of Shrek's Seven Monsters, he's also an agent of the Tang Sect. I've already broken the rules of the academy to give him some extra trials. Notify everyone that Tang Wulin has been selected as a backup elder of the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion, but keep this information confidential to everyone outside of the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion, including Tang Wulin himself.”

”Yes!”

Yun Ming stood up and latched onto his wife's hand. ”Truth be told, I also really look forward to seeing what kind of miracles he'll create in the future, but all of the past masters of the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion had to endure countless trials and tribulations before they were given that position.”

Yali smiled, and said, ”I really like him, and I have great confidence in him. According to the rules of the academy, the fact that he's completed all of the demonic island trials makes him eligible to become an elder of the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion, and the fact that he's done so while breaking so many records makes him eligible to become the successor of the master of the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion. His results are undeniable.”

Yun Ming smiled, and said, ”Don't worry, I'm well aware of that.”

After exiting the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion, Tang Wulin was feeling rather perplexed. Yun Ming had been personally waiting for him by the sh.o.r.e of the Sea G.o.d's Lake just so he could provide some brief instructions in his cultivation? He could sense that Yun Ming seemed to be rather indecisive about something, and he couldn't think of what kind of internal conflict Yun Ming could currently be grappling with.

In any case, Yun Ming seemed to have accepted him to a certain extent, and that had to be a good thing.

Tang Wulin returned to his living quarters first and collected all of his belongings before visiting the wooden cabin that Scarlet Dragon Douluo Zhuo s.h.i.+ was living in.

”Grandteacher.”

Zhuo s.h.i.+ was currently sunbathing in his yard. At this cultivation rank, constant cultivation wasn't required. Instead, the key to making breakthroughs for him lay in immersing himself in heaven and earth in search of an instant of enlightenment.

Zhuo s.h.i.+ wasn't surprised at all to see his arrival. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he asked, ”Did the pavilion master go to find you?”

Tang Wulin asked in a curious manner, ”You know about that?”

Zhuo s.h.i.+ smiled in response. ”It's only normal that he would go to find you. Come here and sit beside me.” He pointed at a spot beside himself as he spoke.

Tang Wulin made his way over to Zhuo s.h.i.+ before taking a seat, and Zhuo s.h.i.+ said, ”Tell me about your trip.”

After that, he closed his eyes as if he were dozing off.

Tang Wulin naturally had nothing to hide from his grandteacher, so he gave him a detailed recount of everything he and his friends had endured during this trip. The story began with their run-in with that powerful Evil Soul Master on the high-speed soul train, and it concluded with their return to Shrek City. He only neglected to mention the Tang Sect mission that he'd undertaken following his return.

Zhuo s.h.i.+'s eyes were closed the entire time, and only after hearing the entire story did he opened his eyes again.

He sighed, ”The peaceful times on this continent are about to come to an end. My generation is already too old; it's up to you guys to change and protect the continent in the future.”

Tang Wulin looked up at him with a surprised expression. ”Grandteacher, are things really that serious already?”

Zhuo s.h.i.+ replied in a grim voice, ”It'll only be more serious than what you can imagine. The higher-ups of the federation are clearly extremely corrupt, and a blatant internal conflict has commenced. From the outside, the federation looks quite calm and placid, but the internal political battles must be very fierce already. This recent terrorist attack is a direct result of this conflict. Mo Wu was a parliamentary member of the federation and was being groomed as an important successor to a faction, yet he'd perished during the recent attack. That's only going to further exacerbate the internal conflict within the federation. It's hard to say which political faction has ties with the Holy Spirit Cult, but it's undoubtedly the case that the cult must have powerful backers in the federal government. Otherwise, there's no way that they could wreak such havoc yet still hide themselves so well.
