Chapter 53 Sea God Pavilion Council.
Wu Xuan walked along the shore of Sea God Lake, crossed Shrek Square, and arrived at the first and second-year dormitory buildings.
In front of the dormitory door, the old man was still leisurely reclining in his chair, exuding an air of carefree ease.
Wu Xuan waved to him and then entered the dormitory building opposite.
A smile appeared on the old man's face, but it quickly returned to normal, his eyes slightly narrowed, comfortably immersed in a half-asleep state.
The next moment, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, his entire figure, along with the chair he was sitting in, disappeared from the spot.
Wu Xuan, who had just entered the dormitory building, did not notice this.
The number of first-year students was already relatively large, so it was impossible for second-year students to share a dormitory building with them.
Having entered the second year, Wu Xuan naturally came to the second yellow dormitory building.
Wang Yan had already told him this nine days ago when he registered.
The number of second-year students was only about one-third of the number of first-year students, around 350 or 360. Therefore, the second-year dormitories were noticeably more spacious. The room was about fifty or sixty square meters in size.
Wu Xuan returned to his dormitory and pushed open the door to see Qian Guming sitting on the bed cultivating.
Hearing the door open, Qian Guming opened his eyes, saw it was Wu Xuan, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"How come you don't recognize me after a month?" Wu Xuan teased.
Before Wu Xuan's laughter had even finished, Qian Guming pounced on him and hugged him, sobbing, "Waaah! Brother Xuan, you're finally here! If you hadn't come, I would have thought you dropped out of school."
Wu Xuan pushed away Qian Guming, who was clinging to him, with a look of disgust. He said with some disdain, "You're the one who dropped out! I'll say it again, even if you dropped out, I would never drop out."
"Hehe! Just kidding! Let's not talk about that. Tell me what you want to hear. In the few days you've been gone, girls have been coming to ask me about you every few days. I'm so envious." Qian Guming said with a jealous look.
"Oh! Who are they? Tell me." Wu Xuan said with some interest.
"Yun'er, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng come to ask almost every day," Qian Guming said with envy. Wu Xuan's lips twitched upon hearing this. It seemed like something strange had infiltrated the group of four. If he remembered correctly, Wu Feng was a lesbian!
"By the way, Brother Xuan, have you eaten? If not, call Yun'er and Xiao Xiao to come along," Qian Guming said with a smile.
"Okay! I'll go take a shower first. You can contact them using your soul communication!" Wu Xuan waved and walked towards the bathroom in his room.
In no time, Wu Xuan finished washing up and went downstairs with Qian Guming. Nanmen Yun'er and Xiao Xiao were already waiting downstairs.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, you two!" Wu Xuan stepped forward and smiled.
"Class monitor!"
"Wu Xuan!"
Upon seeing each other, the two were overjoyed and naturally gave Wu Xuan a hug each.
After the excitement subsided, everyone walked towards the cafeteria, chatting about the fun things that happened during the holidays.
"Wu Xuan! Wait! Have you seen Huo Yuhao at the academy?" A voice suddenly came from behind them as they were chatting animatedly.
"Wang Dong?! You mean Huo Yuhao hasn't come to the academy yet?" Wu Xuan asked, somewhat surprised.
He couldn't figure out where Huo Yuhao could be.
"No! I've been waiting for him for days. If he were here, I would have known already. Tonight is the last day for enrollment, I'm so anxious!" Wang Dong said dejectedly.
"Wang Dong! Don't worry, Yuhao might come this afternoon. Look, Wu Xuan just arrived too," Xiao Xiao comforted him. "
That's true!" Wang Dong nodded with a smile.
"Wang Dong! Have you had lunch? If not, let's go together!" Qian Guming invited.
"Okay!"
In the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, amidst the misty air, a tall and magnificent building in the center of Seagod Island appeared and disappeared in the clouds. The three large characters 'Seagod Pavilion' could be vaguely seen on the plaque at the top.
The Sea God Pavilion has six floors above ground, each over ten meters high, making it extremely magnificent. However, due to the perennial mist surrounding Sea God Island, it's not clearly visible from the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy.
The Sea God Pavilion is also the most important place in the entire Shrek Academy; the Shrek Academy's Hall of Worship is located here, as is the secret library Yan Shaozhe mentioned to Wang Yan. Some unknown secrets are also hidden within the Sea God Pavilion, including many priceless treasures.
Whenever there are major events at Shrek Academy, a meeting is held in the Sea God Pavilion—the highest-level meeting of the academy. Only the deans and vice-deans of the Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department, along with the elders of the Hall of Worship, are qualified to attend. Important decisions are made by a show of hands.
Even the four deans and vice-deans only have one vote each at the Sea God Pavilion meetings.
At this moment, the main hall of the Sea God Pavilion is completely silent. Ten people sat around an oval table. At the innermost seat, a reclining chair stood in dim light, where only a person could be vaguely seen lying on it. Compared to the ten people around the round table, he stood out.
Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo sat at the far right of the table, while Yan Shaozhe and another woman, who also appeared to be around fifty, sat at the far left. This woman must have been extremely beautiful in her youth, but despite being a woman herself, she didn't even glance at Xian Lin'er, her expression cold and aloof. She sat below Yan Shaozhe, at the far end of the table like Qian Duoduo.
Besides these four, the six people sitting in front were all elderly, each with white hair and different appearances, but their postures revealed their age.
At this moment, Elder Xuan was eating and drinking, a chicken leg in his left hand and a gourd of wine in his right. He looked very relaxed.
"Everyone's here, let's start the meeting, Xuanzi, you can begin," a gentle voice rang out. It had a cleansing effect on the soul, yet the voice betrayed no age. The voice emanated from the reclining chair hidden in the shadows at the head of the table.
"Hmm!" Elder Xuan put down his wine gourd and chicken leg, rubbed his greasy hands on his clothes, and slowly stood up. At this moment, the elders of Shrek Academy also straightened up slightly. Only the one in the reclining chair remained unchanged.
"Today, I have summoned everyone to the Sea God Pavilion meeting because of a matter concerning whether our academy can continue to prosper for the next few hundred years," Elder Xuan said, slightly excited.
With that, Elder Xuan waved his hand, and three soul bones gleaming with a strange light floated before the elders. "These three soul bones can be considered an unexpected gain from our trip to the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Two 100,000-year soul bones? One nearly 100,000-year soul bone? Xuanzi, you've gone to rob a place of great danger!" After a brief moment of shock, the elders regained their composure and joked.
"Hmph! You think it's so easy to enter this ominous place? You all try going in and taking a look," Boss Xuan said with a stern face.
Seeing the elders remain silent, Elder Xuan continued recounting the reasons for obtaining the soul bone.
The story was full of twists and turns, even eventually revealing the true ruler of the ominous place. The elders listened with gleam in their eyes.
