“Elder Mu, you should still carry this heavy burden for now.”
“Let me borrow your identity for a bit; I’ll make a trip to the Treasure Pavilion of Shrek Academy.”
After pondering for a long time, Huang Jinxu did not agree to become the next pavilion master of the Sea Gods Pavilion.
On one hand, the fact that his own Spirit suppression would cause Shrek Academy to decline rapidly was one thing; on the other hand, the position of the master of the Sea Gods Pavilion might be a huge trap.
The fact that only the master of the Sea Gods Pavilion could wield the technique of Seagod’s Light forced Huang Jinxu to think deeply.
According to the settings, Seagod’s Light was a wisp of original Seagod’s Light left behind by Tang San, sealed within the Sea Gods Pavilion, and could only be used by the pavilion master using the golden ancient tree as an energy base.
It seemed without any problems, but there was still one point to this: it emphasized Sea God affinity.
As a fellow master of the Sea Gods Pavilion, Xuanzi needed to rely on Mu En’s remnant soul to use it.
This was quite thought-provoking.
Seeming like just an identity, it possessed the restrictions usually found only in God Trials.
In Huang Jinxu’s view, wasn’t this just a weakened version of the Sea God High Priest, the Angel God High Priest, and their ilk?
Once sitting in that position, who knew if there would be any shackles.
Therefore, he refused.
As for why he wanted to use Mu En’s identity to make a trip to the Treasure Pavilion of Shrek Academy, it was naturally with the thought of extending Mu En’s life.
Right now, Mu En truly could not die.
Then he would find a way to let him live a few more years.
He had the Materials and methods on him sufficient to extend Mu En’s life, yet he still chose to make a trip to the Treasure Pavilion in Mu En’s name; naturally, he wanted to take the opportunity to snatch some good things—was it an exchange of interests?
“You… Forget it, I’ll give you brat some time to consider it.”
“As for the Treasure Pavilion, go whenever you want.”
Facing Huang Jinxu, who had refused so readily, Mu En honestly did not know what to say for a moment.
As for his matter of heading to the Treasure Pavilion, Mu En did not refuse.
Huang Jinxu had always acted with a great sense of propriety; although Shrek Academy had provided shelter and assistance for his growth, once he gained a certain amount of strength, he no longer relied on Shrek Academy for resources.
Let alone the current Huang Jinxu clearly having other motives, even if he purely wanted to enter it to obtain some desired benefits, Mu En would not refuse either.
The only thing on Mu En’s mind right now was to make Huang Jinxu the master of the Sea Gods Pavilion.
After obtaining Mu En’s approval, Huang Jinxu got up and prepared to leave.
Right at this moment, his gaze turned towards the direction of the academy dormitories.
A youth whose appearance was shockingly delicate and exquisite like a girl was arguing with the academy’s dormitory manager.
“Why won’t you let me change dormitories?”
The girl looked at the dormitory manager with a face full of anger.
“Classmate Wang Dong, the academy dormitories are uniformly arranged and will not be changed because of personal emotions.”
“The academy has never had a precedent for changing dormitories; your application does not comply with the rules.”
The dormitory manager coldly refused, a trace of disdain in the eyes looking at Wang Dong.
Those capable of serving in Shrek Academy—whether they were the academy’s senior leadership, middle-tier teachers, or logistical personnel providing basic academy support—naturally possessed a condescending posture.
Let alone an ordinary student, even senior students—as long as they were not exceptionally outstanding Geniuses—did not catch their eye.
As for whether one’s identity and background were simple, they never considered it at all.
Even if you were an earl’s son, before Shrek Academy, it did not count as any background at all.
Someone like Wang Dong, who had not been heard of having any background, was simply not taken seriously by him.
Furthermore, what he said also complied with the rules; even if Wang Dong wanted to make a fuss, it wouldn’t change anything.
At this moment, Wang Dong’s small face flushed red with a mixture of anger and shame.
The anger was because the dormitory manager in front of her spoke too harshly.
As for the shame, it was because she knew she was making an unreasonable fuss.
However, she did not know what was wrong with her; she suddenly wanted to change dormitories.
And she explicitly wanted to move into a specific dormitory.
This feeling was very strange, leaving her somewhat flustered for a moment.
Just as Wang Dong was thinking whether or not to expose her identity from the Clear Sky Sect to demand a room change, the dormitory manager suddenly changed his attitude.
“Classmate Wang Dong, right?
I thought carefully about it.
Since your attitude about wanting to change dorms is so resolute, you must be very incompatible with your original roommate.”
“For the psychological health of the students and to avoid unnecessary conflicts, let’s change your dormitory for you.”
“I wonder which dormitory you want to change to?”
The dormitory manager suddenly changing his attitude and shifting his face drastically instead left Wang Dong completely dumbfounded.
“203!”
Wang Dong gave the reply subconsciously.
After hearing that the dormitory Wang Dong wanted to change to was 203, Huang Jinxu frowned slightly.
Living in that dormitory was precisely his Disciple Huo Yuhao, who was still settling in right now.
It seemed that God King Tang’s invisible big hand had moved once again.
Regarding this, Huang Jinxu did not feel anything special about it.
Everything was within reason.
What made him feel unexpected was that Elder Mu had actually just used mental voice transmission to the dormitory manager, telling him to change Wang Dong’s dormitory.
That was why the other party had changed his face so quickly.
Such a matter—how could an existence like Mu En easily meddle in it?
Was it really just done in passing?
With Mu En’s knowledge and experience, it was impossible for him not to know that Wang Dong’s Spirit could only be possessed by females.
Knowing full well that she was a female, not only did he not expose her, but he also provided assistance.
If it were simply because Wang Dong had the Clear Sky Sect behind her, then there would be nothing much to it.
But what if there were other unknown manipulations behind this?
Taking a closer look at Mu En’s life, at many junctures, he had done many things that did not match his persona.
Gifting the dragon core to Huo Yuhao instead of leaving it to Beibei could be justified by saying Huo Yuhao was treated as the final hope.
Then, what did persuading Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan to join the Tang Sect right before his death count as?
Jiang Nannan could be overlooked, but Xu Sanshi was the Young Lord of the Xuanwu Sect and the existence destined to inherit the Xuanwu Sect in the future, yet he was persuaded by Mu En to join the Tang Sect.
This completely did not match Mu En’s persona.
Even if Mu En had persuaded Xu Sanshi to join the Sea Gods Pavilion, Huang Jinxu could understand it.
Then, were these decisions that did not match Mu En’s persona and personality truly his own original intention?
Thinking of this, Huang Jinxu became even more determined not to become the master of the Sea Gods Pavilion.
This position was truly scorching hot to the point of burning one’s bottom.
Perhaps the position of the master of the Sea Gods Pavilion was just like the position of the Sea God High Priest; once one sat on it, there would be a layer of restriction, making it destined that one could never become a god.
It was nothing more than changing the High Priest’s sacrificial mission into the ultimate sacrifice to the golden ancient tree.
“golden tree, does your consciousness still exist?”
Thinking of this, Huang Jinxu raised his head to look in the distant direction, a deep look appearing in the depths of his eyes.
He certainly didn’t think that Tang San arranging this move was simply for the successive masters of the Sea Gods Pavilion to better protect Shrek Academy.
Perhaps all this power was just laying the groundwork for the Blue Silver Emperor?
