”What did she say? Hurry up and tell me!” Chen Xinjie grabbed Tang Wulin by the shoulders and shook him vigorously.

Tang Wulin replied, ”Elder Long said that she won't see you unless Shrek Academy gets rebuilt.”

”Shrek Academy?” As opposed to the enraged reaction Tang Wulin had expected, Chen Xinjie's eyes glazed over slightly, and he reflexively released Tang Wulin, following which a bitter look appeared on his face.

”Rebuilding Shrek Academy is going to be a monumental endeavor. I'm willing to help you, but why can't you be with me so we can work together? Yueyue, we have so little time left; are you really unwilling to give me another chance?”

In that instant, Tang Wulin clearly caught sight of a hint of grief flas.h.i.+ng through Chen Xinjie's eyes.

Tang Wulin merely listened and didn't dare to say anything. However, his heart was filled with a peculiar feeling. Chen Xinjie had been so dogmatic and overbearing when dealing with him, yet even an almighty Limit Douluo was just as lost and inconsolable as he was when it came to love.

”Are you from Shrek Academy?” Chen Xinjie calmed himself down before turning to Tang Wulin. He could only show this side of himself to Long Yeyue.

Tang Wulin nodded in response. Elder Long had told him that he could make whatever request he wanted to Chen Xinjie, and from the looks of it, Chen Xinjie was going to be far more receptive than before.

Chen Xinjie's eyes narrowed slightly as he appraised Tang Wulin. ”Your objective is to prevent this war from happening, right?”

Tang Wulin nodded again.

Chen Xinjie raised his head to the heavens, and sighed, ”I understand. Perhaps you'll only forgive me if I show you how serious I am through my actions. Tell her that I still have 10 years left at most, and I'll spend every single day of the rest of my life working toward fulfilling her wish. You have my number; keep in touch. Even if she gives me only a single day before I pa.s.s away, I'll be satisfied. I don't know when or if Shrek Academy will be successfully rebuilt, but I want to implore her to allow me to love her with all my heart for a single day.”

As soon as his voice trailed off, Chen Xinjie's body abruptly transformed into watery ripples before vanis.h.i.+ng into thin air.

Tang Wulin had been stunned by his words. This was a relations.h.i.+p that had spanned over 100 years, yet Chen Xinjie's love for Elder Long was still so pure that he would be content with just spending a single day with her. Tang Wulin was suddenly struck by the feeling that Elder Long was being too cruel, but he quickly cast that thought aside. After all, he had no idea what had happened between the two of them.

”Everything seems to have worked out pretty well.” Zang Xin had appeared behind Tang Wulin again without his notice.

Tang Wulin turned to look at him with a resigned look on his face. It certainly wasn't a good feeling to be caught in a figurative revolving door with three Limit Douluos!

”We won't need to do anything from now on, right, Your Majesty?” Tang Wulin asked.

”That's right, you and your friends can prepare to set off; don't worry about anything else.” ......

One day later, the Holy Spirit Cult suddenly took over control of a soul television station in the federation and announced responsibility for the Skysea City military port bombing. The announcement created a ma.s.sive stir in the media, and the Dove Faction took advantage of this opportunity to lash out at the Eagle Faction, accusing them of mindlessly plotting invasions when they hadn't yet addressed the internal issues within the federation.

The threat of the Holy Spirit Cult was far too ma.s.sive to be ignored, and the federal parliament was forced to issue an order to hunt down the cult.

In reality, it would be virtually impossible to actually hunt down the core members of the Holy Spirit Cult, given how secretive the organization was, but at the very least, this could divert the attention of the public to a certain extent.
