Tang Wulin asked, ”Now that you mention it, where is Xiaoyan?”

The golden-haired man was none other than Yue Zhengyu in disguise, and he smiled as he replied, ”She told me that she has her own path to pursue, and she didn't tell me where she went before she left, but I can roughly guess her destination. Don't worry, I already contacted her, so she should be here in one or two days. You may have become the champion of the Star Battle Net Inter-federation Compet.i.tion, but we've improved quite a bit as well! You better not let down your guard lest you get beaten by us!”

Tang Wulin rolled his eyes in response. ”When Xiaoyan gets here, you two can fight me two on one.”

Yue Zhengyu's eyes abruptly lit up. ”I'm taking you up on that offer! Don't start crying when you lose, though!”

Tang Wulin was rather taken aback to hear this. ”Sounds like you're really confident! You've progressed to the Soul Sage level, right?”

A proud look appeared on Yue Zhengyu's face. ”Of course! It was a piece of cake.”

Tang Wulin said, ”Let's go somewhere else; this isn't the right place to talk.”

He then released Yue Zhengyu's hand, and the two of them walked along the street side by side. Yue Zhengyu looked around at the city, and sighed, ”It feels good to be back. It's just a pity that this isn't Shrek City.”

A slightly dejected look then appeared on his face. Not only did Tang Wulin have an extremely strong bond with Shrek Academy, Yue Zhengyu had been at Shrek Academy three years more than Tang Wulin, so he was actually even closer with the academy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have worked so hard during this past period of time.

”By the way, I'm already a colonel, and don't go saying I made it to that rank through my familial connections! Even my strict grandpa didn't say anything. What about you?” Yue Zhengyu nudged Tang Wulin with his shoulder.

Tang Wulin chuckled, ”You seem pretty excited! Looks like you must've had a hard time in the Southern Legion.”

Yue Zhengyu shrugged in response. ”I did nothing aside from cultivate every day, and after Xiaoyan left, I didn't even have anyone to talk to. Then again, it's not like I had the spare time to talk to anyone anyway. By the way, where's everyone else? I'm not the first one to have arrived, am I?”

Tang Wulin replied, ”So what if you're first? It just shows how eager and conscientious you are. Everyone else will probably arrive in the next few days as well.”

Yue Zhengyu suddenly fell silent, and only after a few seconds did he heave a long sigh. ”It's really good to be able to see everyone again.”

Tang Wulin didn't respond and merely b.u.mped him with his shoulder. Indeed, it really was fantastic to be reunited with his friends. He already had the Blood Dragon Squad by his side, as well as the support of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, but no one provided better support to him than the friends that he had been with for so many years! They were the current Shrek's Seven Monsters, and they were a unified ent.i.ty.

”Oh, by the way, Zhengyu, I've got some good news for you: you're now an elder of the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion and can partic.i.p.ate in Sea G.o.d's Pavilion meetings.”

Yue Zhengyu faltered slightly upon hearing this, but as opposed to being elated by this news, a wry smile appeared on his face instead. ”Elder of the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion? Are we just giving ourselves these t.i.tles now? It's not like there's anyone else left aside from us.”

In order to give everyone a surprise, Tang Wulin had refrained from revealing the fact that there were still so many members of Shrek Academy who were alive at the Tang Sect.

Yue Zhengyu seemed to have realized that he was being a spoilsport, and he forced a smile onto his face as he said, ”In that case, as the leader of Shrek's Seven Monsters, shouldn't you be the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion Master?”

Tang Wulin nodded in response. ”I sure am!”

Yue Zhengyu chuckled, ”Alright, then let's support this new Sea G.o.d's Pavilion together! We'll definitely be able to revive Shrek Academy, right?”

”Of course,” Tang Wulin replied in a voice that was filled with conviction.

Yue Zhengyu then lowered his voice, and said, ”Hey Boss, seeing as no one else is back yet, shouldn't you be giving me the t.i.tle of vice-pavilion master? You can give the other spot to Yuanen or Xinglan. The Sea G.o.d's Pavilion usually has two vice-pavilion masters, right?”

A hint of a smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. ”We'll discuss this with everyone during the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion meeting. As you know, the Sea G.o.d's Pavilion has always been renowned for its fairness and openness; everything has to be discussed with everyone.”

Yue Zhengyu shrugged in response. ”Can't you make an exception? There are only seven of us anyway. Oh, I almost forgot, there's still Her Majesty, the Holy Spirit Douluo. Is she not willing to be the pavilion master? Has she still not recovered from her trauma?”

Tang Wulin sighed, ”It's not that easy to recover from something like this. Her heart is already dead, and if she weren't determined to see the revival of Shrek Academy, I'm afraid she would've most likely...”
