The position Cai Mei'er looked at was naturally Mu En's.
It could be said that she was also Mu En's disciple, so it was perfectly normal for her to ask for Mu En's opinion in any aspect.
Mu En readily agreed to Lin Yun's request.
Although he was curious why Lin Yun did this, he wouldn't press for details. As he said before, the reward had already been given, and when it would be redeemed was Lin Yun's own business.
"Thank you, Elder Mu," Lin Yun said with a smile.
Why not meditate in the Golden Tree now?
Lin Yun naturally had his own considerations on this matter. It was certain that the Golden Tree contained Tang San's hidden measures. The Golden Tree was different from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; it was essentially useless to Tang San after he became a god, only kept as a private garden out of extreme selfishness.
However, the Golden Tree not only housed A Yin's soul taking over but its very existence also helped Shrek train students, ensuring Shrek remained a top power on the continent, constantly harvesting belief power for him.
Given the Golden Tree's numerous uses, Lin Yun certainly wouldn't believe that there were no other hidden measures of Tang San within it, besides A Yin's soul.
What made him most wary were Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong after their meditation in the original work.
After they emerged from meditating at the bottom of the Golden Tree, the path they envisioned was inexplicably the Tang Sect, yet in reality, their later paths had little to do with the Tang Sect.
At most, Huo Yuhao merely used some design concepts from Tang Sect hidden weapons to create soul tools.
Lin Yun always conjectured Tang San's motives with the greatest malice. Tang San was a lofty God King; he could make countless mistakes, while Lin Yun could only make one.
One mistake, and he'd be finished.
Without full certainty, Lin Yun would absolutely not casually wander to the bottom of the Golden Tree.
He could act recklessly in Shrek, but there were two points he didn't touch: first, Huo Yuhao, Tang San's dog-training target, and second, this Golden Tree.
Once Electrolux recovered a little more, he would confidently and thoroughly 'cherish' this source of life on the Douluo plane...
Since Beibei and Xu Sanshi were added to the substitute team this time, and the performance of the others wasn't particularly outstanding, the Sea God Pavilion didn't bestow upon them the lifelong title of Shrek Seven Monsters. After the rewards were distributed, they were all dismissed.
It was impossible to bestow this title upon six other people just because of Lin Yun alone, right?
Impossible.
Shrek Academy's obsession with the title of 'Shrek Seven Monsters' was no less than their obsession with the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition.
If the title of lifelong Shrek Seven Monsters was given solely to Lin Yun, all members of the Sea God Pavilion would have no objection. But if six people were casually arranged to receive this title because of Lin Yun, they would definitely not agree, and their objections would be significant.
"Brother Yun, how long will you be gone this time?" Xiao Xiao asked softly, clinging to Lin Yun's arm.
"I don't know yet, but it shouldn't be too long, right?" Lin Yun said with some uncertainty.
After the competition ended, Lin Yun had secretly arranged for the Myriad Demon King to abduct someone. By now, that little girl was probably already locked in a small dark room in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The first thing he needed to do upon returning was to convince her to obediently become Electrolux's disciple. The second thing was to retrieve the Gold of Life stored on a certain turtle.
He originally wanted to keep the Gold of Life stored on that turtle for a longer time, but Shrek Academy had already brought the Golden Tree before Lin Yun. How could he not use the Gold of Life to restore Electrolux sooner and then have a big feast on the Golden Tree?
The best way to deal with divine sense is to use divine sense!
Lin Yun believed that if Tang San suddenly jumped out while he was feasting on the Golden Tree, Electrolux would definitely teach that little scoundrel a lesson.
Coupled with the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, who had nearly finished their long slumber, Lin Yun suddenly felt a little anticipation for whether Tang San would jump out and scheme against him when he returned again.
Tang San might think he was the biggest mastermind, but in reality, the hidden schemer is me, Lin Yun!
Hehehehehe~
"Then... Brother Yun, can I come with you?" Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, then suddenly mustered her courage and asked.
Lin Yun, who was fantasizing about how to set a trap for Tang San, froze instantly and asked with some hesitation, "Ah? What did you say?"
Xiao Xiao's expression was shy, and her tone was a little coy: "I mean, can I go with you to see your home?"
Earlier, when Lin Yun invited her to 'Beast Control Sect,' Xiao Xiao refused because her relationship with Lin Yun wasn't as close as it was now. But after Lin Yun gave her immortal herbs and a ten-thousand-year soul bone, Xiao Xiao's love for Lin Yun was overflowing. She was naturally willing to go back with Lin Yun to 'meet the parents.'
It just so happened that Lin Yun was going back at this time, so Xiao Xiao naturally brought it up.
This time, it was Lin Yun's turn to hesitate.
If it were any other time, taking Xiao Xiao back would indeed be fine. Anyway, the little girl's heart and soul were already his, so letting her know his identity was not impossible.
In other worlds, revealing his identity as the hidden big boss would indeed be risky.
But this was the Douluo Continent!
As is well known, the Douluo Continent is rich in love-struck fools and traitors. This excellent tradition runs throughout the entire Douluo series, regardless of gender or race.
In other worlds, one couldn't be sure that as soon as they revealed their identity, they would be immediately cut down by their beloved for love and justice, becoming a sacrifice, and from then on, soaring to the peak of cultivation.
But the Douluo Continent truly had no such worries. Xiao Xiao might even actively join him in overthrowing Shrek and Tang San, liberating the entire Douluo.
'But I'm not going back to Star Dou to play this time!' Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, then quickly rejected Xiao Xiao's request: "Let's not. I have things to deal with when I return to the sect this time. When I have free time next, or during the holidays this year, I'll take you back then."
Certain things were definitely not suitable for Xiao Xiao to know, and what he was about to do was precisely that.
If Lin Yun's actions this time were perfect, it would not only ignite a civil war among the major empires of the Douluo Continent but also make Shrek, which had been peaceful for a year, lively again, and even dig a pit for Tang San.
The fundamental difference between Lin Yun and Gu Yuena was this:
Gu Yuena completely cast aside her identity when she fell in love, doing none of what a Fierce Beast should do. Only after everything settled did she regret it, eventually resorting to evasion and self-hypnosis.
A single phrase, 'I am not the co-lord of soul beasts,' chilled Di Tian's heart.
Lin Yun relaxed when he should, and cultivated when he should, because he couldn't shortchange himself after transmigrating.
But when it was time to act, he never hesitated; he just did it and even enjoyed it.
For such an important operation, Lin Yun couldn't possibly bring Xiao Xiao along. This wasn't about trust or distrust, but about stance. Until he explicitly confirmed that Xiao Xiao had completely sided with him, Lin Yun would not disclose any schemes or plans related to Fierce Beasts to Xiao Xiao.
"Just wait for me at the academy; it won't be long!"
From this day forward, the grand curtain will rise!
