Chapter 100 - Leaving (1/2)
”Tang Wulin has disappeared.”
”WHAT?!”
”HOW COULD THAT BE?!”
Shouts of shock emerged from the lips of those in the Shrek Academy group as they heard Wu Zhangkong's words.
Xie Xie's face turned pale as he took a step back, not believing what Wu Zhangkong had said.
He was the first among all of them to have contact with Tang Wulin so naturally their bond would be the deepest among them.
The others weren't doing much better as bitter expressions appeared on their faces.
Although they only knew Tang Wulin later on, his position in their hearts was very heavy.
The only two who didn't really care were Huang Yu and Gu Yue.
Gu Yue by this time had already shifted back into her black-haired form.
Her true form looked exactly the same as Na'er and if she revealed herself like that, others would inevitably ask questions.
Nonetheless, they played along with this little charade just so they didn't look a bit out of place.
They naturally knew where Tang Wulin was at the moment, and they knew that he wasn't in much danger at all.
Gu Yue had actually wanted to reap Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline back then, but Huang Yu stopped her.
With a combination of the King's Wisdom, his powerful mental power and his three heaven-defying treasures, he could sense something from Tang Wulin.
When he had asked Gu Yue about it, she had informed him that it was apparently divine energy, which raised his eyebrows.
Nonetheless, Huang Yu wasn't too surprised about it.
He had suspicions that Tang Wulin was somehow connected to Tang San anyways and this was just the cherry on top.
Since he could sense divine energy from Tang Wulin, and the bad feeling he got from it, there was definitely something akin to a protector within him.
This was something that was far too common in Xianxias afterall.
The powerful father had no choice but to send their child to a lower plane to save their life.
Despite this, they would be left a powerful inheritance along with some Godly protection that only worked a few times.
Huang Yu had struggled immensely fighting against a Third-Class God in the form of the will of the Dragon God.
He wasn't willing to provoke another potentially greater God-level existence when Gu Yue was there.
”It's unfortunate, but he disappeared during a mission for the Tang Sect. We don't know whether he's alive or dead, but we can't delay our schedule because of him.”
”However, we'll still be in the Star Luo Continent for at least a few more months. While we continue on with our schedule, we'll wait for any information about Tang Wulin.”
Hearing this, the students of Shrek Academy went silent.
There was nothing they could do other than wait after all.
Throwing a tantrum would be completely useless.
As of this moment, the students of Shrek Academy came to a realisation of how fragile life actually was.
At this moment, Huang Yu suddenly spoke.
”Teacher Wu”
Wu Zhangkong turned his gaze to Huang Yu before he raised an eyebrow.
”What is it Huang Yu?”
”I am leaving Shrek Academy.”
At those words, the expression of everyone in the room other than Gu Yue shifted into shock once more.
”Huang Yu, what do you mean?”
Wu Zhangkong's voice held hints of disbelief.
He was already deeply hurt that Tang Wulin may already have passed on but now one of his students wanted to leave Shrek as well?
A wry smile appeared on Huang Yu's face as he scratched the back of his head. ”Well, it means exactly what I said.”
”You…”
”Teacher Wu, I'm leaving as well.”
Gu Yue's voice suddenly rang out at this time.
Her words dug the knife deeper into the hearts of everyone else there.
They continuously shifted their gazes between Huang Yu and Gu Yue, but not a word could leave their lips.
”Absolutely not!”
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in the room before the visage of a woman appeared in the high-class suite.
This woman was a person that every student of Shrek Academy was extremely familiar with.
It was Elder Cai.
”Do you think that Shrek is a place that you can just come in and go out as you wish? There is no way we can allow you to tarnish the reputation of the academy like that!”
Huang Yu raised an eyebrow.
”I distinctly remember that you guys were the ones that begged us to join though?”
That made Elder Cai paused briefly.
Nonetheless, she didn't care as she spoke up once more in an arrogant tone.
”Nevertheless, you just can't leave. You won't even be known as graduates of Shrek Academy should you do so.”
Huang Yu smiled.
”We're fine with that.”
Gu Yue nodded her head in affirmation.
Elder Cai's expression instantly turned ugly. ”You're wasting your potential like this. There's no other place on this planet that provides better resources than Shrek.”
”And Huang Yu, what about your sword intent? What if something goes wrong with that? You won't have anyone to help you with it!”
Gu Yue spoke up at this time.
”Elder Cai, we've already given a lot of thought to this.”
”We're not asking for permission to leave. We're just informing you on our decision.”
Hearing this, Elder Cai's expression further darkened as a sneer appeared on her face.
She opened her mouth to speak once more, but soon closed them again before she finally sighed.
”You… just do whatever you want…”
Elder Cai turned her back on them.
”However, don't come running back to Shrek begging for mercy once you leave.”
In another bright flash, Elder Cai was gone from the suite.
Seeing this, Huang Yu let out a sigh.
He shifted his gaze back to Wu Zhangkong.
