Chapter 314: Reunion And Separation
“Sect Master, the team has assembled…”
After leaving Spirit City, Dugu Bo had already gathered everyone that Ghost Gate had brought this time.
“Don’t take them back first. Escort all the Heaven Dou Competition Area participating teams back first, in case Spirit Hall goes back on their word.
These people are all rare geniuses and potential stocks. Pull them in as much as possible.
After this battle, they surely now have a ruler to measure their futures. They will make the right choices.”
This time, Ghost Gate had thoroughly made a name for itself. Next… it was time to fully take over all of Spirit Hall’s affairs.
Such as Martial Soul Awakening, digging up potential geniuses, opening Ghost Gate Academy, and establishing reputation.
Finally, fully take over Spirit Hall in business, reputation, and all aspects. Even if unable to completely replace them, it could still poke a big hole in them.
With this funding, Ghost Gate could vigorously develop commercial links. In a few years, it could grow into the top wealthy clan.
Ling Mo had confidence in Tang Sect Hidden Weapons. When the time was ripe, puppets would also be released to the market for a big harvest.
However, puppets were like a nuclear bomb. Releasing them to the market was very dangerous and could easily bring fire upon oneself.
So, to release puppets to the market, some tricks must be done to always keep Ghost Gate at the highest level.
“Good! I’ll go handle it now…”
Dugu Bo had understood and immediately went to make arrangements. Those over ten thousand Ghost Gate disciples also gradually disappeared from everyone’s sight.
However, they did not leave. Instead, they dispersed to protect the surroundings, in case Spirit Hall ambushed again.
The fifteen teams from the Heaven Dou Competition Area had far fewer people than when they came, because many had left one after another.
In front of the Shrek team, Tang San and Xiao Wu had already been taken away by Tang Hao. Everyone appeared very downcast.
“Dean Flander, this time… your Shrek Academy has offended Spirit Hall. The days ahead won’t be easy.
If you need help from my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School in the future, just speak up. We’ll help without hesitation if we can…”
At the front of the team, Ning Fengzhi said sincerely.
“Sect Master Ning is joking! Now that this Soul Master Competition is over, these children have all graduated.
Rongrong, you’ve been taken away. Staying in Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School is much safer than staying in our Shrek Academy.
This time we’ve completely fallen out. Who knows… how Spirit Hall will retaliate against us next!”
Flander’s complexion wasn’t good. He had painstakingly managed Shrek Academy for so many years and truly did not want to get involved in the struggle between two great powers.
“Dean, don’t worry! Spirit Hall hasn’t stooped to attacking an academy.
Besides! With me here, they haven’t gotten that bold yet…”
Ling Mo smiled and said. He could see Flander’s inner worries, but… things had already come to this, and it had to end somehow.
Since Ghost Gate was involved, it would definitely see it through to the end! Moreover, Spirit Hall had no reason to go after an academy.
“Xiao Mo is right! Spirit Hall won’t go after Shrek Academy, so relax!
I’ll take Rongrong! Thank you for your hard work and care during this time…”
Ning Fengzhi said sincerely. If Ning Rongrong hadn’t gone to Shrek Academy, she would probably still have her young miss temperament now.
It could be said that she had changed a lot and grown a lot.
“Rongrong, say goodbye to everyone…”
Turning to look at Ning Rongrong behind, he found her head down and silent, clearly very reluctant.
With Xiao Wu and Tang San leaving one after another, now she had to leave too. The Shrek Seven Devils were parting today.
“Silly girl! Why cry? It’s not like life and death separation…”
Ling Mo felt heartbroken seeing her teary-eyed appearance.
“Everyone, goodbye. When I have time, I’ll come visit you all…”
Finally, Ning Rongrong said goodbye to everyone and left first with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School team.
She was the third to leave after Tang San and Xiao Wu.
“Sigh, little monsters! All good things must come to an end. Your futures are bright; you shouldn’t be limited to a small academy.
Starting today, you all graduate! I wish you all bright futures and smooth success.
Alright, gatherings end in separations. You… are graduated…”
Flander said heavily. This sentence… he had held back for a long time and finally said it.
“Dean! We’ll come back to see you…”
Master had been haggard all along the way, probably because of Tang San’s departure, and was in very low spirits.
Liu Erlong had been by his side the whole time, silently.
“Alright, everyone… this is the end!”
Under everyone’s gazes, the Golden Iron Triangle and Qin Ming left one after another.
This vast team was left with only Ling Mo, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and also Oscar, Jiang Zhu, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, Tailong, and a few others.
“Fatty, what are your plans? Going back with me or heading out on your own…”
Ling Mo looked at Ma Hongjun. He had said before that he wanted to go out and roam on his own. He didn’t know if he had changed his mind now.
“Hehe, you’re all going back to Ghost Gate! I’ll go see too. Isn’t it said there are beauties? It’d be a pity not to check.
After seeing, I’ll go roam around.”
Ma Hongjun said with a sly laugh. He had heard Ling Mo mention multiple times that Ghost Gate had many beauties and wanted to verify if it was true.
“Hehe, you dead fatty! A dog can’t change its habit of eating shit…”
Ling Mo laughed in exasperation. Everyone chatted and laughed as they set off for Ghost Gate.
Along the way, Tailong bid farewell to everyone and returned to his family.
He was from the Power Clan and also a Haotian Sect member, so… he couldn’t go back to Ghost Gate with them.
“Zhu Qing, what are you thinking?”
On the road, Zhu Zhuqing had been silent, and Ling Mo couldn’t help but worry.
“Nothing, I’m just a bit reluctant! So many people left all at once…”
Girls are always so sentimental. They say the pure years of student days are the best, and that’s true.
From Suotuo City to Heaven Dou City, they had traveled together for three years, and in these three years, they had become intimate friends.
Now, they were leaving one by one, inevitably feeling the pain of parting.
However, that’s life! Gatherings and separations, coming and going—it’s normal.
“Alright! Don’t you still have me? Don’t worry! In the future… I’ll always be by your side…”
Ling Mo gently pulled her into his arms, softly stroking her beautiful hair. A pure fragrance wafted, intoxicating.
“Mm…” Zhu Zhuqing did not resist. Despite everyone’s gazes, she nestled in Ling Mo’s arms like a bird depending on a person.
“Right, Mu Bai! I told you to call Yue’er along. Where is she?”
Passing through Sunset Forest, they were about to arrive at Ghost Gate, but Shui Yue’er was nowhere to be seen, so Ling Mo asked.
Earlier, he had said he wanted to give Dai Mubai and Shui Yue’er some training. Now only Dai Mubai had come, but no Shui Yue’er.
“Her? She said she needed to go back and tell her family. She should be coming soon…”
Dai Mubai shrugged and said.
“Alright! Let’s go back first…”
