Xuanzi was unreliable; this was a fact acknowledged by all members of the Sea God Pavilion.
However, even knowing that Xuanzi was unreliable, there was no other option but to let him lead the team.
Ever since the battle between Muen and Du Bisi, Muen had been severely injured. If it weren't for that Dragon Core, Muen would have likely perished alongside Du Bisi.
Over the years, Muen had been trying all sorts of methods to rapidly improve the strength of the Sea God Pavilion members, especially Xuanzi, who bore Muen's hopes. He wanted Xuanzi to break through to the ninety-ninth-level Limit Douluo as soon as possible.
It was precisely for this reason that even after the Star Dou Great Forest incident, although Muen was furious and wanted to get rid of Xuanzi, who was so incompetent as a guardian, in the end, he could only endure it.
He even turned around and comforted Xuanzi, saying that it was no big deal, as long as he could learn from the experience and not let the same thing happen again.
Muen knew Xuanzi's character very well. If he really let him resign from all positions and become an idle person in the academy, that guy would probably start to be completely useless, and his strength would no longer have the possibility of improvement.
But how long had it been?
Xuanzi had actually gone and stirred up another Death God's Messenger incident?
A ninety-eight-ranked Super Douluo leading the way, plus several inner court geniuses at the Soul Emperor level, with the rest all Soul Kings, and even two Soul Emperor teachers with six soul rings accompanying them. How the hell did he manage to let that so-called Death God's Messenger nearly wipe them all out?
Muen couldn't figure it out; he really couldn't. Why could Xuanzi, that rascal, let the same tragedy happen a second time?
If he wasn't Xuanzi's senior uncle, knowing him inside and out and understanding that Xuanzi was just incompetent and not intentionally harming those geniuses, Muen might even suspect Xuanzi was a mole planted by some other faction within Shrek.
If Shrek had anyone else who could take over the position of Sea God Pavilion's Master, Muen would never have relied on Xuanzi!
But now his life was nearing its end. The others in the Sea God Pavilion were all weaker than Xuanzi, and the younger generation needed time to fully mature. Aside from Xuanzi, Muen had no one else to depend on.
As the current Master of the Sea God Pavilion, Muen knew better than anyone how many factions wanted Shrek Academy to fall from grace.
If, after his death, Shrek didn't have a top-tier powerhouse step up, then Shrek's situation would be truly dangerous.
Sigh, I don't know where Lexuan went to travel. It's been almost a year, and why hasn't she returned yet? She must come back before my life ends!
Fortunately, I didn't cancel the engagement between Beibei and Lexuan before. Now, Tang Ya, the Tang Sect's Master, has been labeled a邪魂师 (Evil Soul Master). It would be best if I could witness their marriage, so I can close my eyes in peace.
After my nurturing, the Dragon Core's hostility has almost completely disappeared. After passing the Dragon Core to Beibei, his Martial Soul should also undergo a complete transformation. In this way, Beibei also has the possibility of becoming a Limit Douluo.
I only hope that before Lexuan and Beibei become the top powerhouses on the continent, Xuanzi, that guy, won't cause any more accidents during his time as the Sea God Pavilion's Master. Just let things go smoothly.
While Muen was worrying about the future of Shrek Academy, the elders present were also trying to comfort Xuanzi, urging him to calm down and continue his duties.
However, facing everyone's persuasion, Xuanzi didn't seem to have any intention of changing his mind. He shook his head with a bitter smile.
"If it weren't for good luck this time, I'm afraid even Xiao Tao and Dai Yueheng's lives wouldn't have been saved. With such a major mistake, how can I still have the face to stay in the Sea God Pavilion?"
"Don't try to persuade me, I've made up my mind. Yao Haoxuan's family has considerable power, and I still need to go to his family to try my best to resolve their grief. And Zhou Yi, although she wasn't killed by the Death God's Messenger, her face is completely disfigured, I need to let Fan Yu prepare himself mentally. Even Dai Huabin, because of the Death God's Messenger, has lost the most indispensable ability of a man. For tens of thousands of years, the Dai family has never stopped sending their juniors to Shrek Academy. How am I supposed to explain this to the Dai family?"
Xuanzi turned and was about to walk out, sighing at the same time, "Everyone, let's part ways here."
Watching Xuanzi's determined back, the members of the Sea God Pavilion present were somewhat dumbfounded.
Seriously? You're serious?
Just act a little to express your sadness and apology, and you're actually planning to resign from those positions?
Shrek Academy currently only has two top-tier powerhouses, and Xuanzi is one of them. Muen's health is also very poor, and he might not be able to hold on at any moment. If Xuanzi really leaves, what will Shrek Academy do?
Why does this guy always like to make decisions impulsively that leave people baffled?
Muen on the recliner slowly sat up. There was no other way; if he continued to watch from the sidelines, Xuanzi would probably really resign from all his positions and start to completely lie flat and slack off!
After calling out to Xuanzi, Muen's eyes gradually turned cold, and he said in a deep voice.
"You're over two hundred years old! Why are you still so rash? If everyone was like you, immediately thinking of running away when they make a mistake instead of correcting and compensating for it, how would we run Shrek Academy?"
"You are no longer suitable to be the deputy head of the Shrek Surveillance Team. From now on, stay in the inner court and teach the students for me!"
Xuanzi became anxious upon hearing this. Just as he was about to say something, Muen glanced at him indifferently, and said in a voice devoid of any emotion.
"You can leave, but find a woman to marry and pass on your Godly Taotie Bull martial soul, and then I will let you go. Otherwise, don't even think about it! If you keep talking nonsense, I won't mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of our deceased senior brother!"
Muen's words eased the solemn atmosphere of the Sea God Pavilion, especially after seeing Xuanzi's embarrassed and angry expression. Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
After this atmosphere had continued for a while, Muen tapped the table lightly with his finger, drawing everyone's attention back to him.
"From the day the Surveillance Team was established, the members who chose to join it were already prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time. The evil soul master's methods this time were too bizarre. If we let him go, he might cause even bigger trouble in the future, not to mention he also killed five inner court students of Shrek. We must find him and eliminate him!"
"Five students were sacrificed, and I am also very heartbroken. But the dead are gone, and the actions of our Shrek Surveillance Team must continue. The tragedy that occurred this time also reminds us that we must be more careful in our actions from now on."
Muen turned to Xian Liner, the head of the Soul Tool Department, and said in a low voice, "Liner, I'm making the final decision today. After this meeting, all inner court disciples must go to you to have at least one flying soul tool and one defensive soul tool custom-made. Anyone who opposes it will leave the academy!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe, who was standing to the side, frowned and tentatively asked, "Teacher, should we reconsider this? Even without the assistance of soul tools, those geniuses from our Martial Soul Department can still be the best on the continent!"
