The bruises on Tang Wulin's face were quickly fading. With his recovery abilities, these minor injuries were nothing.

Xie Xie wore a guilty expression as he said, ”I'm sorry, Boss, but I didn't do it on purpose! Yuanen's never talked to me like that before; I swear this won't happen next time!”

Tang Wulin glared at him. ”There won't be a next time! What if she calls you 'husband' next time? Are you going to turn around and stab me instead?”

Xie Xie raised his head and looked at Tang Wulin before glancing at Yuanen Yehui. There was indeed a very good chance that that would happen.

In the face of Yuanen Yehui, all of his combat prowess was thrown out the window.

Tang Wulin sent flying with another kick to the backside, and everyone burst into raucous laughter. Yuanen Yehui put on a disdainful expression as she scoffed, ”Don't even think about it; there's no way I'm calling you that!”

Tang Wulin heaved a resigned sigh. ”I've ascertained your current abilities and needs. I'm going to devise individual plans, then discuss them with each of you. Let's stop here for today.”

Everyone departed, and Tang Wulin returned to his and Gu Yue's wooden cabin. Only now did he allow a hint of dejection to appear on his face.

All of his friends were in happy relations.h.i.+ps, so it was naturally unavoidable for him to be envious. However, there was nothing he could do. He still hadn't received any news about Gu Yue and Na'er even after all this time. Where were they?

Gu Yue, are you really never going to see me again? Wait for me; I'm going to become powerful enough to go and find you!

……

A soul bus traveled quickly over the highway. The bus appeared to be extremely normal and was no different from the average soul bus. The only thing that was different was that all of the windows were concealed by drawn curtains, making it impossible to see what was inside the bus.

The Shrek City checkpoint loomed up ahead in the distance, and the soul bus gradually decelerated, lining up behind all of the other vehicles that were waiting to be checked.

Right at this moment, an employee in an official uniform emerged from the checkpoint. From the looks of his epaulets, he was clearly quite an important figure at the checkpoint.

He quickly made his way out of the checkpoint before waving a hand at the soul bus, then pointing at a closed tunnel off to the side.

The soul bus reacted very quickly and immediately left the line, changing directions before driving toward the tunnel.

The employee entered the tunnel before switching on the devices inside, and the door of the bus was opened, following which a middle-aged man with an extremely ordinary appearance disembarked from within. The middle-aged man strode over to the employee before handing over some doc.u.ments.

The employee glanced at the doc.u.ments before returning it to the man, then making his way into the control room. The metal barrier blocking tunnel slowly rose up, and the middle-aged man got onto the bus again before driving it toward Shrek City.

The metal barrier was lowered again, and the employee also emerged from the control room. This tunnel was going to remain closed.

This occurrence didn't attract much attention from anyone else. After all, there were people with special rights and privileges everywhere, and even Shrek City was no exception to this.

However, unbeknownst to everyone, after allowing the soul bus into Shrek City, the employee went straight back to the lobby of the checkpoint before changing into some different clothes. He then bade farewell to his colleagues and got onto a soul car that quickly departed. The soul car didn't take him toward Shrek City; instead, it was taking him away into the distance.

More and more cars appeared on the road, and the soul bus slowed down while continuing to travel on ahead. There were a total of over 10 people in the bus, and all of them were completely silent. They all wore black uniforms with balaclavas on their faces that only revealed their nose and eyes. Due to their attire, the entire interior of the soul bus had a sinister air about it.

Only the driver, who was also the middle-aged man that had just gotten off the soul bus earlier, seemed to be quite normal.

One of the men in black sitting near the front quickly made his way to the back before asking in a serious voice, ”How's it going with the screening devices?”

Another man in black pulled out a device and took a glance at it before nodding in response. ”Everything is normal. Nothing is being leaked aside from background radiation.”

”Very good,” the first man in black returned to the front of the bus, and said to the driver, ”Proceed as planned.”

”Yes!” the driver replied in a respectful manner. At the same time, a hint of deranged fanaticism appeared in his eyes.
