Xie Xie was the first one to emerge from the elevator. ”Let me see what about this secret Tang Sect base is enough to make me cry...”

All of a sudden, his voice abruptly cut off, and his entire body stiffened as he was rooted to the spot.

Yuanen Yehui was behind him, but she was slightly shorter than him, so she couldn't see what lay up ahead. However, she could naturally sense that there was something amiss from Xie Xie's reaction, and she hurriedly tried to go around him.

It was also right at this moment that Xie Xie let loose an incredulous howl. ”Teacher Wu...”

He then rushed forward like the wind. Wu Zhangkong's facial features were still as cold as ever, but his eyes were filled with a gentle light.

He had been waiting patiently for their return, and when Xie Xie caught sight of him for the first time, he couldn't believe his own eyes. His heart was then instantly overcome by irrepressible emotions.

It was just as Yue Zhengyu had said, everything had truly been scared witless in the wake of the Shrek Academy bombing, to the extent that their minds had gone completely blank, and they had been incapable of expressing their emotions.

However, as time pa.s.sed, the pain naturally caught up to them. All of their peers at Shrek Academy and even Teacher Wu had perished during that calamitous disaster, and the pain in their hearts remained fresh to this very day.

Never did Xie Xie think that he would be able to see Wu Zhangkong again, and all of his pent-up emotions immediately erupted forth uncontrollably.

He charged directly toward Wu Zhangkong before rus.h.i.+ng into his arms and bawling at the top of his lungs. Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoyan, Xu Lizhi, Yuanen Yehui, and Ye Xinglan were also rooted to the spot.

Teacher Wu was still alive...

Xu Xiaoyan had been a student of Wu Zhangkong ever since she was a small child, so they shared an extremely deep bond, and she also let loose a shrill shriek before rus.h.i.+ng forward.

Thus, the sound of broken sobs echoed throughout the entrance to the elevator.

Yue Zhengyu nudged Tang Wulin, and asked, ”Did we go too far, Boss? What if they recover later on and decide to blame us for not telling them everything in advance?”

”Us? What do you mean us? My girlfriend isn't here,” Tang Wulin replied in a nonchalant manner.

”Boss, you can't do this to me!” Yue Zhengyu howled in anguish. Thinking back to Xu Xiaoyan's threatening gaze, chills immediately rang down his back.

”Hehe.” Tang Wulin paid no heed to him and hurried forward to join the huddle.

What could make one more excited and elated than a reunion following an ordeal of life and death?

Even Wu Zhangkong had tears in his eyes. Being reunited with everyone had evoked within him emotions that he hadn't felt for a very long time.

”Alright, everyone, let's all calm down a little.” Only after a long while did Tang Wulin begin to console his friends.

The one who was crying the loudest was Xie Xie. Perhaps it was because he was the first one to have caught sight of Wu Zhangkong, but he simply couldn't stop his tears.

Yue Zhengyu nudged him with a hint of mockery in his eyes. ”What was that about a heart of steel?”

Xie Xie turned to glare at him through a film of tears. ”I was wrong! So what? If Teacher Wu can come back to life, I'd gladly be proven wrong countless times!”

All of a sudden, a thought occurred to him, and he abruptly stood up straight as he looked at Wu Zhangkong, then turned toward Tang Wulin. ”You're not pranking us, are you, Boss? Is this someone else disguised as Teacher Wu?”

They had all learned disguise techniques on the demonic island, and Tang Wulin was the most adept in those techniques among them. As long as he could find someone of a similar stature and build, he could make an extremely convincing imposter for Wu Zhangkong.

A resigned look appeared on Tang Wulin's face. ”I can disguise someone to look like Teacher Wu, but how can I replicate his aura as well?”

”It's not an imposter! You can't replicate Teacher Wu's eyes!” Xu Xiaoyan yelled as she pinched Yue Zhengyu's waist in a vicious manner. Her eyes were also filled with tears of excitement.

Wu Zhangkong was Tang Wulin's childhood idol, and that applied to her and Xie Xie as well.

”What's going on?” Xu Lizhi couldn't help but ask with an elated look on his face.
