Chapter 349 A bewildered and helpless Agin; The loyal lackey Nunnally
Upon hearing Ah Yin's words, Long Yeyue's originally cloudy old eyes widened suddenly, her expression changed drastically, and even her voice became somewhat shrill due to extreme excitement.
"Ancestor, are you telling the truth? Will I really see my child again?"
Ah Yin looked at her, a faint, serene smile playing on her lips:
"It is absolutely true. I am also a mother, and I have experienced the pain of losing a child. Now I am also struggling to bring my child back to life."
So I naturally understand how you feel right now, and I would never joke about something like this with you.
"Rest assured, Ancestor, Ye Yue will take the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal to find Chen Xinjie!"
With this promise, Long Yeyue had no more hesitation.
She lowered her head heavily, her tone more resolute than ever before:
"Since this matter concerns the resurrection of my child, even if that old bastard Chen Xinjie makes any unreasonable demands, I will definitely get his help and will not let down your expectations of me, ancestor!"
Seeing this, Ah Yin breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still gave a somewhat worried remark:
"Yes, go. You must always remember that whoever dares to obstruct your maintenance of the authority over the sea is our mortal enemy, and will be killed without mercy!"
If you encounter any insurmountable difficulties, think more about your child, and remember that he still has a chance to return to your arms alive.
"Understood, Ancestor."
After respectfully responding, Long Yeyue carefully put away the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal.
Without lingering any longer, he hurriedly gave Yun Ming a few instructions, and with a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and left the Sea God Pavilion in a great hurry.
Ah Yin remained standing in the same spot, sensing the figure that had disappeared outside the golden ancient tree.
Although the arrangements had been made, the unease that lingered in my heart never dissipated.
At this moment, she could only helplessly console herself:
"With the demigod Long Yeyue and the quasi-god Chen Xinjie joining forces, even if something major happens on the sea, it should be able to be quelled."
On the high seas, with the blessing of the sea god's bloodline, even if the beast god Di Tian personally took action, he probably wouldn't gain much advantage. However…”
Thinking of some deeper worries, a thin layer of mist had appeared in Ah Yin's gentle blue eyes, which were as soft as the sea.
"Brother Hao, what should Ah Yin do...?"
During her previous "slumber," she had vaguely sensed that during that time, a being with attributes extremely similar to hers had attained the position of a deity.
While I can't be completely certain, it's highly likely that it's Yali, who obtained the position of the Goddess of Life.
If that's the case, if I were to do anything to the Golden Tree in the future, it's highly likely that Yali will notice it now.
Tang Hao, because of his past attempts to seize control of the plane, has always been greatly suppressed by the plane's consciousness.
It was extremely difficult for me to get in touch with him despite all the obstacles.
They didn't even dare to contact other Soul Masters to pass on messages, for fear that they might accidentally reveal their true colors and be discovered by the Golden Tree Spirit, which had already developed its own consciousness.
Now that the Golden Tree is about to evolve into the life core of the entire plane, what should be the final crucial moment has been marred by so many unexpected waves.
With tears welling in her eyes, Ah Yin silently prayed in her heart.
Now, all we can do is hope that the current patriarch of the Sea God family can turn the tide and ensure that the grand plan to resurrect Xiao San is not disrupted.
Just as I was pondering this, I suddenly heard the questioning voice of the Golden Tree Spirit.
Ah Yin was startled and quickly composed herself.
I need to continue to stabilize this golden tree spirit.
But if things really develop to that point of no return, then she will have no choice but to take drastic measures at all costs and tear off the mask of civility early on.
Thinking of this, Ah Yin quietly wiped away the glistening tears from the corner of her eyes, her face regaining its usual gentle expression, and began to explain.
"Golden Tree Spirit, you don't need to worry, I was just..."
……
The sky was bright and the sunlight bathed the entire Lingbing Square.
At this moment, two very luxurious soul-guided buses were already parked in the square, used to escort teachers and students to Qiankun Wenqing Valley.
In the distance, I saw the chubby little boy running towards me, panting heavily.
Xie Xie, who was leaning against the bus looking cool, immediately perked up and waved loudly:
"Hey, isn't this Ryuji? Why are you always the last one to arrive? Did you get so excited last night about going to Qiankun Wenqing Valley that you couldn't sleep a wink and had insomnia?"
Xu Lizhi's fat face immediately showed a bit of embarrassment. He chuckled awkwardly, scratched the back of his head, and opened his mouth to explain.
Before he could utter a single word, Wang Jinxi, who was standing to the side, had already reached out and put his hand on Xie Xie's shoulder with a smile, teasingly saying, "If we're talking about who's the most excited, shouldn't it be our old Xie, right?"
If it weren't for Senior Yue Zhengyu's sudden withdrawal, which conveniently filled the spot, I would have almost thought that the three of us from the East Sea would be forced to be one short for this trip to Qiankun Wenqing Valley.
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
Although Xie Xie said this, his face was already beaming with joy, and he couldn't hide his excitement.
"You know, sometimes luck is part of your ability."
That's not entirely his fault for losing his composure.
After all, this is the Godly Examination opportunity that the vast majority of Soul Masters in the Soul Master world dream of their entire lives.
If you're incredibly lucky and manage to gain some benefits in that Valley of Love and Destiny, your soul power might increase by several levels when you come out.
If one dared to dream a little bigger, what if the god of love took a liking to them and bestowed upon them some kind of divine soul ring? Then they would truly soar to the heavens.
Seeing Xie Xie's expression, the usually composed Zhang Yangzi couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly, and muttered helplessly:
"How come I never realized before that you were such a jerk?"
Looking at the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere among the group in front of him, Xu Lizhi couldn't help but feel a hint of envy in his eyes.
He looked around twice more, then lowered his voice and asked cautiously:
"Um, it seems like all the boys in our group have arrived, right?"
But it's already this late, and none of the girls have arrived yet? Could something have happened?
In the end, Xu Lizhi couldn't hide the tension in his voice, fearing that something had happened to Ye Xinglan.
After all, he had spent the whole night mentally preparing himself.
He decided to take advantage of the "love paradise" reputation during his trip to Qiankun Wenqing Valley and muster all his courage to invite Ye Xinglan on a "date".
That's why he was late this morning; he was so nervous that he spent most of the night practicing how to speak in front of the mirror.
Faced with Xu Lizhi's question, the three Donghai brothers exchanged glances and shrugged blankly.
Just as the group was wondering what was going on, the bus door opened.
A blue-haired man, dressed in a simple white shirt and plaid trousers, yet exuding the aura of a supermodel, walked down the street.
She was around thirty years old, with long, dark blue hair casually draped over her back.
Those dark green eyes merely glanced at the group, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.
Wu Changkong spoke coldly:
"Dean Yali encountered some special circumstances and was notified that they would need to depart later."
Now that everyone on our side has arrived, in order not to delay our schedule, we'll head out first to wait for them.
It was just an ordinary announcement, but when this cold-faced male god said it, it carried an aura of icy indifference.
The boys, who had been laughing and joking, instantly fell silent, stood up straight, nodded repeatedly, and obediently lined up to board the bus.
Fifteen minutes earlier, in the office of the vice dean of the School of Foreign Languages.
Nanali stared blankly at the two time off requests on her desk.
His lips trembled slightly uncontrollably, and his once bright eyes widened in disbelief as he cried out in a trembling voice:
"Director Jade and Teacher Ziling, what are you doing? I remember that neither of your names were on the list of teachers leading the team to Qiankun Asking Love Valley this time."
That's right.
Compared to Nunnally's outburst, Brigitte maintained her usual gentle smile, seemingly oblivious to any wrongdoing in her behavior.
"So, as you can see, Vice Dean, Ziling and I used the fixed annual leave allowance stipulated in the employee handbook this time. Moreover, Dean Yali was aware of and tacitly approved of this."
"That's not it……"
Hearing this self-righteous explanation, Nanali was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute it.
These two were special individuals whom Yali had directly brought back to the academy to take up positions. Although she was the vice dean, she really couldn't figure out their exact backgrounds.
This Jadeite, in particular, is suspected to be a Limit Douluo.
Of course, these are not the point.
After all, Nanali was her master's most beloved little bell. If anything went wrong, her master would definitely not abandon her.
But the problem now is, what if these two really just throw up their hands and go on vacation?
Let's not even talk about how to arrange the remaining teaching tasks for the first grade.
The administrative tasks that fall on her shoulders will probably pile up like a mountain, just like when Yali took a paid, publicly funded trip last time.
Last time, at least the head of the teaching department helped share the burden, but this time, even that help is gone.
She feared that before she could help her master take down the academy, she would have to go bald in glory for the cause of the academy.
Before the meeting, the young vice dean hesitated to sign the application form.
Murasaki, standing to the side, gave a somewhat impatient snort, crossed her arms, and added directly:
"This isn't just Yali's idea; it's also a special request from the Lord. I think you should know very well who the Lord is, right?"
"Lord? Master!?"
Upon hearing this title, Nanali's mind went completely blank.
Staring directly into Murasaki's cold eyes, she felt a sudden pang of guilt, and waved her hands nervously, stammering as she tried to stall for time:
"Wait, this news is too sudden. I need to consult with the master first."
Not long afterward.
Huo Yuhao, who had been called by Nanali's urgent soul communication, walked in carrying Jialin in his arms.
But before he could even ask what had happened...
Nanali, who had been sitting in her office chair trying to appear calm, jumped up as if she had seen a savior.
She rushed to Huo Yuhao in a few strides, grabbed his leg and wouldn't let go, crying out in an exaggerated voice, "Master, you can't really ignore Nanali's life or death!"
"If you really take them all away, when you go back to the academy and see Nunnally again, she'll probably be so exhausted from working so hard at the academy that she'll have no hair left."
Those present couldn't help but crease their foreheads with a few black lines as they watched Nanali's slightly exaggerated acting.
Before Huo Yuhao could say anything, Jialin, whom he was holding in his arms, rang out in her soft, childlike voice:
"Sister Nanali, why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
Based on her brief conversation with Emerald and Purple Lotus just now, even without anyone saying it outright, Nanali had already guessed pretty much everything.
These two are not human soul masters at all.
They clearly used some secret technique to conceal their soul beast aura, and were Bi Ji and Zi Ji, two of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts!
What does this tell us?
This shows that the owner didn't treat her, the little bell, as one of their own at all.
Even something as important as this has been kept from her, her loyal lackey, until now.
This must be because the relationship between myself and my master is still too distant, and I haven't truly entered my master's heart yet.
Thinking of this, Nanali's fake crying actually carried a hint of genuine grievance, and her sobs became increasingly pronounced:
"Little sister Jialin, it's all Nanali's fault for being so useless. She has never been able to gain the master's trust."
Now I'm not even qualified to participate in the next operation. My unwavering loyalty to my master is completely useless!
Looking at the black-haired girl in front of him who was clinging to his leg and refusing to let go, crying and complaining without any regard for her image.
Huo Yuhao felt another headache coming on.
"Alright, Nanali, get up and talk properly. Don't act like a child and throw a tantrum all the time."
"I don't."
Instead of getting up, Nanali hugged Huo Yuhao's leg even tighter.
The chubby little face took the opportunity to rub against it, greedily inhaling the unique scent emanating from its owner.
"Master, if you don't agree to take Nanali with you, then Nanali might as well jump off this cliff right now and prove her point with her death!"
"Stop, stop, stop..."
Huo Yuhao quickly called for a stop, explaining with a slight headache:
"If you insist on leaving with us, what will happen to this huge outer courtyard? Who will handle all the daily affairs? Do you want the outer courtyard to come to a standstill?"
