Chapter 1241 (2/2)

”Ding!” The elevator arrived at its destination, and as the doors opened, Tang Wulin heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he was now safe.

It was really fortunate that he had run into Gu Yuena. Otherwise, it would've been very difficult for him to get out of that sticky situation on his own.

He reflexively raised a hand to touch the silver dragon scale pendant hanging around his neck, and he was suddenly struck by a peculiar thought. Why was Gu Yuena going to Skysea City? Could it be that she had sensed that he was there? Otherwise, that was way too much of a coincidence. Also, was meeting her at the train station also a coincidence?

The pendant was slightly warm from his body heat, and as he gripped onto it, that warmth flowed into his palm. At the same time, he had an epiphany, and everything became clear to him.

She would always appear before him whenever he was in danger; why was that? Was it just a coincidence? Clearly not. She was always able to appear before him just in the nick of time, and it had to be because she could sense the danger that he found himself in.

Thinking back, Gu Yuena had appeared right as he was being attacked by that ninth-grade soul missile following the Shrek Academy bombing. Without her intervention, he would already be dead.

Back in the abyssal pa.s.sageway, when he was about to be slain by the Holy Lord, it was her again who had instantly teleported herself to his side, joining forces with him to unleash their Dragon G.o.d Transformation to force back the Holy Lord.

Compared to those two scenarios, this was the least dangerous one.

During the first scenario, she had suffered such physical trauma to save him that she had suffered from severe amnesia, and the second scenario was definitely no less perilous than the first one.

Today, she had appeared before him in her hour of need, just as she always had.

Tang Wulin abruptly raised a hand before giving himself a vicious slap to the face. She had done so much for him and protected him with her life; what excuse did he have to doubt her? What RIGHT did he have to doubt her?

So what if a so-called rival in love had appeared? Her heart belonged to him, regardless of whether she was willing to admit it or whether she was with him. She had proven everything to him through her actions, so why was he still thinking about all this useless junk? He was being stupid beyond belief!

Despite his immensely powerful body, his face was still stinging from the ferocity of that slap, and he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Why did he have to hit himself so hard? It was still his own face! But then again, he really did deserve a beating.

It was as if bright suns.h.i.+ne had illuminated his mood, and he was feeling euphoric.

”Wulin? What are you doing here?” A familiar voice sounded, and it was tinged with a hint of surprise.

Tang Wulin raised his head and was greeted by the sight of Wu Zhangkong, who was in his usual set of white robes.

An elated look immediately appeared on Tang Wulin's face. ”You're back, Teacher Wu!”

Wu Zhangkong nodded with a peculiar expression. ”Shouldn't you be in Skysea City?”

Tang Wulin replied, ”I came back as I have something that I need to do here. How are Wu Siduo and the others doing on the demonic island?”

The peculiar look on Wu Zhangkong's face was exacerbated even further at the mention of Wu Siduo and the others. ”Them? They're... doing ok.”

A bemused look also appeared on Tang Wulin's face upon hearing this. He had endured the special training on the demonic island, and it had almost made him regret ever being born. Thankfully, his mental fort.i.tude allowed him to pull through. As for Wu Siduo and the others...

”Our seniors on the demonic island have heard about what happened to Shrek Academy, and they've told me that they're willing to accept more people to undergo their training. I'll be taking the next batch of students to the demonic island in two days.”

Tang Wulin was taken aback to hear this. ”Are the old de... Are the seniors doing alright?”

Wu Zhangkong's expression fell slightly. ”They would've come back with me if they could. The demise of the academy was extremely painful news to them, and it's impacted them even more than it's affected us. They sacrificed themselves to live a life of solitude on the demonic island for the sake of the academy, and the destruction of everything they had dedicated their lives to was crus.h.i.+ng news for them to hear. They told me...”

He paused here and raised his head to look at Tang Wulin.

”What did they say?” Tang Wulin asked in a curious manner.
