Upon hearing this, the joyful expressions on everyone's faces immediately vanished.
This is too tragic!
They should have known better than to show such happiness…
However, everyone could somewhat understand Yan Shaozhe. Once the news of them obtaining this title spread,
they would inevitably become the center of attention among the students, which would greatly affect their normal cultivation and studies.
Having said this, Yan Shaozhe had basically finished speaking.
Yan Shaozhe stepped aside and respectfully asked Mu En at the front of the long table, "Teacher, is there anything else you need to instruct them?"
Only then did everyone notice that there seemed to be someone half-reclining at the other end of the long table. Due to the angle, they couldn't see the person's face.
Except for Huo Yuhao, everyone else was slightly startled.
Was this person Yan Shaozhe's master?
"Children, your performance has exceeded my expectations, so this reward is something you earned yourselves."
"However, you must remember that temporary success does not guarantee lifelong achievement. Never be arrogant. The incident with the evil spirit master was caused by the arrogance of the inner court disciples." "
Therefore, I hope you will not repeat the same mistake."
"Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, the three of you will remain on Seagod Island for the time being and cultivate with me."
"You may return to the outer court only when I deem you ready to leave."
The aged voice was gentle and kind. All the elders of the Seagod Pavilion and the four deans stood up and respectfully bowed to Elder Mu, who was reclining in the main seat.
"Meeting adjourned." Elder Mu's voice seemed even more peaceful.
The elders disappeared almost instantly; the newly recruited Shrek Seven Devils didn't even see their movements.
With everyone gone, the Seagod Pavilion fell silent.
Huo Yuhao sat quietly, while Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Children, come here." Elder Mu beckoned to the three of them.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao quickly walked around the long table to Elder Mu's side.
Upon reaching him, they exclaimed in surprise,
"It's you!"
The old man who usually lounged leisurely in front of the freshman dormitory was actually the most revered Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy!
Huo Yuhao, however, walked over calmly.
"Alright, stop being so startled."
After briefly calming the two shocked female students, Huo Yuhao helped Elder Mu up from his chair.
Elder Mu moved slowly, like an elderly person in their twilight years, as he slowly rose from the recliner.
His back was hunched over, almost at a ninety-degree angle, a sight that evoked pity.
Elder Mu's arms were thin; though warm to the touch, they were extremely bony and stiff.
Old Master Mu seemed quite philosophical about it: "I'm not lying here to show off." "
When I was young, I suffered a minor injury, and ever since, I've never fully recovered and can only be bent over like this."
At this point, Old Master Mu seemed to recall something, and sighed deeply.
"Huo Yuhao..."
"I already know about you and Bei Bei."
"Love is like a curse, constantly destroying two people who love each other, or who don't."
"Once, I firmly believed that I had met my true love..."
Just as Elder Mu was about to continue, he suddenly paused.
"Enough, it's all in the past. Huo Yuhao, it's good for Bei Bei to taste the bitterness of failure early."
"Being led by a woman is the last thing I want to see. You did well." "
Although Tang Ya is the head of the Tang Clan, the Tang Clan has declined. Bei Bei joined the Tang Clan for her, even giving up his arranged marriage. That's something I didn't want to see."
"Only by having an obsession can one let go of it!"
...
Huo Yuhao knew about Mu En's past.
Ye Xishui, the only person Mu En ever loved, approached Mu En and Long Xiaoyao with ulterior motives, falling in love with Long Xiaoyao during their time together.
Because Mu En came from Shrek Academy, Ye Xishui, under the orders of the Holy Spirit Cult's leader Zhongli, feigned a romantic relationship with Mu En, setting a trap to make Mu En and Long Xiaoyao enemies.
Betrayed by both love and brotherhood, Mu En saw through everything.
This is why he didn't care at all when Huo Yuhao took away Bei Bei's Tang Ya.
In fact, Mu En felt that letting Bei Bei experience the pain of loss early would prevent her from having the same lifelong regret as him.
Mu En's life could be described as a tragedy.
"Hahaha, old people just tend to nag,"
Mu En said, pulling himself out of his reverie and pointing in a direction.
Huo Yuhao, understanding, helped him forward slowly, with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao following behind.
Huo Yuhao led Mu En to a wall, and Mu En raised his hand and pointed slightly. Instantly, a golden light shone, and everything around them became illusory.
A dense golden halo instantly enveloped the three of them. They felt a flash of light before their eyes and quickly closed them. Their feet lost their footing, and the next moment, when they landed on solid ground, the golden light had vanished.
The original Sea God Pavilion was gone, and they were surprised to find themselves in a spacious hall.
This enormous hall was at least a hundred meters long and square in shape.
The size was roughly the same as the arena where they participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.
Several passageways ran along both sides of the hall. There were no windows; everything was enclosed, yet the air was remarkably fresh.
Elder Mu smiled and said, "The Sea God Pavilion's true form is a rare golden tree, a tree possessing the essence of light and life."
"Our academy's predecessors used this golden tree as the foundation to carve the Sea God Pavilion, so what you see is completely seamless."
"Wang Dong, go into the first passageway on the right. About ten meters in, there's a door. Push it open, go inside, and sit on the futon to cultivate."
Wang Dong hesitated for a moment, but Huo Yuhao nodded to her. She then followed Elder Mu's instructions with some doubt.
Compared to Mu En, Wang Dong trusted Huo Yuhao more.
"Xiao Xiao, go through the third passage on the left, then the second door, and cultivate there too."
"You're all the same. When you wake up from your meditation, you can return to the outer courtyard."
"Yes." Xiao Xiao quickly agreed, her bright eyes blinking at her class monitor, and walked off in the other direction.
After the two left, only Huo Yuhao remained with Elder Mu.
Elder Mu smiled slightly.
"You go too. Take the first passage on the right, walk to the end, there's a door. Go in and begin meditating."
"After you come out, you'll naturally have the answer."
