Chapter 530 - Perfect Acting
“Do you guys believe this?” Yang Hui looked at Bai Lingshuang and Tang Miao.
Bai Lingshuang shook her head decisively. Tang Miao hesitated for a moment and said helplessly, “Old Wang, you guys aren’t being honest about this! Even if you don’t tell them, you should roped us in. We’re your own people.”
Yang Hui rolled his eyes. He knew that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were in the same boat, but there was no need to make it so obvious.
Wang Tianyu was also very helpless. “Brother Tang, I really don’t know what happened.”
Tang Miao was stunned for a moment. He knew Wang Tianyu very well. Wang Tianyu had a straightforward character and always meant what he said. If he said he didn’t know, then he definitely didn’t know.
“Should we call those little guys over to ask?” Tang Miao asked curiously.
Wang Tianyu hesitated for a moment, but he still turned to the first years and said, “Lan Xuanyu, come over here for a moment.” He didn’t need anyone else, just this guy who was the easiest to stir up trouble was enough. Ever since he came to Shrek, how many things had he done?
Lan Xuanyu didn’t need to ask to know what he was calling him for. He immediately showed an honest and obedient look and walked over obediently.
Facing four god-rank powerhouses at the same time, even if these four didn’t release their aura, it would still put quite a bit of pressure on him!
“Tell me, what happened? Why did so many soul beasts choose you guys?” Wang Tianyu looked at Lan Xuanyu and asked calmly.
He didn’t try to communicate with Lan Xuanyu via telepathy to remind him what to say. He knew this crafty brat very well. Despite his young age, he was as sly as a fox.
Lan Xuanyu looked at Wang Tianyu in confusion and said, “We encountered soul beasts and the soul beasts chose us. Then, we came back! Pavilion Master, look, no soul beasts chose me. Why? I think I’m pretty good too!” As he spoke, his face was filled with grievance.
That’s right! At this moment, the other gods also noticed that while the majority of the first years were chosen, Lan Xuanyu were one of the few to not have been chosen. They all knew that Lan Xuanyu was the one that Wang Tianyu placed the most importance on. Now that he wasn’t acknowledged by the soul beasts, everyone felt slightly better.
Wang Tianyu said, “No soul beasts chose you?”
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes reddened. “That’s right! The soul beasts came and didn’t even look at me before leaving. After that, everyone had one except me, Mengqin, and Qianqiu. Pavilion Master, this isn’t fair! Can you tell the seniors soul beasts to let us gain their approval?”
Seeing how he looked like he was about to cry, Wang Tianyu didn’t know if this brat’s current emotions were real or fake. “Alright, alright, you’re a real man. Are you going to cry for me to see? We want to know why you guys have so many soul beasts with you. You’ve seen it yourself, the number of soul beasts chosen by the other parties is relatively small.”
Lan Xuanyu was somewhat at a loss as he said, “Didn’t you say before you came that the soul beast seniors would choose those who have potential, and who might become gods in the future to form a Spirit Soul Contract ? Aren’t we just more talented? I don’t know the specifics either! It was just that when the soul beasts encountered us, everyone displayed their Martial Souls and they followed us back.”
When Tang Miao, Yang Hui, and Bai Lingshuang heard Lan Xuanyu’s words, they felt like they had been slapped in the face!
‘What do you mean by you guys having more potential? How old are you guys? You’re still thousands of miles away from growing up. We’ve brought at least six-ring young talents, alright? Where do you get your confidence from?’
But the key was that the soul beasts had indeed chosen them! This made them unable to refute. What could they say ? ‘Our potential is better than yours’? But then he would ask, why didn’t the soul beasts choose you?
Bai Lingshuang especially felt that facing this little fella was even more detestable than facing the old Wang Tianyu fella.
“Wasn’t there anything peculiar ?” Wang Tianyu naturally saw the expressions of the people around him and couldn’t help but reveal a smile as he asked with a smile.
Lan Xuanyu shook his head. “No! In the beginning, we didn’t encounter many soul beasts. The first one was senior Tree Snake. He originally chose Frenzie, ah, I mean Liu Feng. But Liu Feng felt that senior Tree Snake wasn’t too compatible with him, so he gave up. Then, Yu Tian felt that he could be suitable, so he discussed with senior Tree Snake and they came to an agreement. After that, we encountered soul beasts rather slowly. But later on, we encountered more soul beasts. Everyone gradually had one, but all of the soul beasts just ignored me. I don’t have one. Is it because my Martial Soul is too strong?”
“What is your Martial Soul?” Bai Lingshuang couldn’t help but ask.
Lan Xuanyu blinked his big eyes and said innocently, “Blue Silver Grass.”
The corners of Bai Lingshuang’s mouth twitched. “Blue Silver Grass? Trash Martial Soul? Too strong?”
“Be careful with your words! Our Tang Sect ancestor’s Martial Soul is the Blue Silver Grass,” Tang Miao said indifferently.
Wang Tianyu even retorted, “That’s right, what’s wrong with the Blue Silver Grass? Did we pull it out of your family?”
“You guys!” Bai Lingshuang was furious, but she couldn’t really flare up in front of the younger generation. The four of them were over 500 years old together...
“Alright, go back. Get everyone to adjust their states and prepare for the Spirit Soul Fusion ceremony later.” Wang Tianyu waved his hand at Lan Xuanyu.
“Pavilion Master, about my Spirit Soul...” Lan Xuanyu looked at him pitifully.
“That is a person’s fate. It can’t be helped even if you don’t have one,” Wang Tianyu said in annoyance.
“Oh.” Lan Xuanyu lowered his head and went back with a lonely expression.
Tang Miao looked at Wang Tianyu and said, “Old Wang, since this child’s Martial Soul is the Blue Silver Grass, he must be fated with the Tang Sect! Do you think we should bring him to the Tang Sect to take a look?”
Wang Tianyu immediately revealed a vigilant look. “This child will definitely enter the Inner Court.”
Tang Miao: “No conflict, no conflict. Who’s with whom?”
Wang Tianyu hesitated for a moment before saying, “We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
Looking at the two of them, Yang Hui could not help but say, “Old Wang, you can’t favor one over the other! Although your relationship with the Tang Sect is not ordinary, you can pat your chest and say, ‘How is our War God Temple with your academy?’ When has a student recommended by both of you not been put in an important position? Right now, there are seven major fleets in the Federation, and the commanders of two of them are from Shrek. They can come here to train in the future! The military needs talents too! You should know that the pressure at the front is not small.”
Wang Tianyu glanced at him and said, “Being valued is because our students are outstanding. This child is still too young, who knows what will happen in the future? We’ll talk about it when he grows up and see how far he can develop. How he chooses is his own business.”
Just as they were talking, the sky lit up and a gigantic pair of jade green wings appeared once again. The jade light receded and two figures appeared on the ground.
The Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, had a strange expression on her face. There was another one that came back with her, but it wasn’t a human. It was a gigantic tiger that was over five meters long and had dark blue stripes all over its body.
Bi Ji slowly walked in front of everyone, her eyes flickering slightly as she looked in the direction of the first years and said, “We have already discussed, there is no problem. The ceremony can begin anytime.”
“Thank you, senior Bi Ji.” Wang Tianyu smiled. At the same time, his gaze turned to the white tiger by her side and asked, “This is?”
“This is Tiger King,” Bi Ji said.
Upon hearing the words’ Tiger King ‘, the four people present were slightly shocked and bowed slightly at the same time. “Greetings, Tiger King.”
