Chapter 732: What He Did Has Nothing to Do With Me (2/2)

Everyone's eyes widened even further at the sight of Dai Yun'er's shy display. All of them reflexively turned toward Gu Yue to gauge her reaction, but strangely enough, her expression remained completely calm and unchanged.

”Thank you for bringing news about Wulin back to us, but he still hasn't returned yet. We've also all been waiting for him this entire time. If there's nothing else you'd like to speak about, then we'll be taking our leave now,” Gu Yue said in an indifferent voice before immediately turning around to depart.

A smug look appeared in Dai Yun'er's eyes, and she smiled as she said, ”I'll be waiting for him here. I'm sure he'll return to the academy as soon as he comes back.”

None of the other members of Shrek’s Seven Monsters said anything in response, and they all departed behind Gu Yue.

”Don't listen to her spout nonsense, Gu Yue; I can tell from the unsteady tone of her voice that she's lying. On top of that, Captain was only 15 years old three years ago; how could something have happened between them just because they were together for a few months?” Ye Xinglan consoled in a level-headed manner.

Xie Xie said, ”But they've already come to our academy; if nothing happened between them, why is she in such a hurry to see him? In any case, it's fantastic news that Captain is still alive! We'll let him take care of these matters on his own when he gets back.”

Everyone nodded in response. These types of matters could only be addressed by the people directly involved.

”What he did has nothing to do with me.” Gu Yue suddenly sped up and quickly detached herself from the rest of the group.

Why did you have to come back at a time like this? I had just made up my mind to leave a few months from now, so why did you have to come back now? It took me so much effort to finally rid myself of these chaotic emotions, but news of your return has completely undone all of these efforts. Why are you coming back? Why now of all times?

”What do we do?” Everyone glanced at one another.

”We'll just have to wait until Captain comes back. These are his personal matters, so we can't really do anything,” Yue Zhengyu said with a resigned shrug.

Indeed, this wasn't something that they could interfere with. In any case, all of them were in extremely high spirits. Tang Wulin was alive and well, and he was about to come back; could there be any better news than this?

Several days later, at the main gate of Shrek Academy.

After getting off the soul taxi, Tang Wulin was greeted by the sight of the massive familiar gate, and he felt as if the past three years were memories from a past life.

Only after leaving the Dragon Valley was he made aware of just how long he'd stayed in there. It was a total of three years and four months!

During those 40 long months, he'd completed the monumental feat of burying all of the dragon skeletons in the dragon tomb. He was now 18 years old and close to turning 19.

Everyone must be all grown up now. I wonder if the academy has changed much during the time I've been away. My friends, I'm back! Are you all still at the academy? I'm back, Na'er, sorry for making you worry.

With these complex emotions in his heart, Tang Wulin quickly rushed over to the gate of Shrek City before planting an enthusiastic kiss onto the wall. The feeling of returning home filled his entire body with a scorching giddy energy.

After making his way into Shrek City, he looked around to discover that everything was extremely familiar. He rushed over to the familiar noodle shop that Xu Lizhi had once taken him to, and he ordered 10 bowls of noodles to feast on at once.

Back when he'd used his dragon ball to depart from the Dragon Valley, he'd discovered that there wasn't even a single person to be seen on the mountain summit. As such, he had no choice but to traverse through the forest, and it took him a long time to find a car before returning to Star Luo City.

After arriving back at the city, he could only request assistance from the Tang Sect. Thankfully, the Tang Sect owned cargo ferries that shipped products between the two continents, and he'd received news from the Tang Sect that the delegation had already returned to the Douluo Continent over two years ago.
