Chapter 3785: 3632
After listening to her explanation, Wu Siduo's expression eased slightly as she thought to herself, "So that's how it is..."
She had not expected that Tang Wulin's talent in Forging would be well-known to young Forging Masters from other continents!
Otherwise, why would they come all the way to inquire about this particular matter?
Immediately after, Wu Siduo refocused her attention on Lin Yuhan and calmly stated, "Among the students who have come this time, there is indeed one named Tang Wulin, but whether he is the one you speak of, I do not know."
The latter exclaimed excitedly, "It can't be wrong, it must be him!"
She had done her homework in advance and knew there was only one student named Tang Wulin at Shrek Academy, and that he was from the Outer Court!
Wu Siduo decided not to dwell on the topic any further and said, "Well, if there's nothing else, I will be taking my leave!"
Snapping back to reality, Lin Yuhan quickly said, "Wait a moment... Thank you, please accept this as a meeting gift from me!"
It would be embarrassing not to offer something after having delayed her for so long...
Subsequently, she took out a special product from the Xingluo Continent from her soul tool...
But Wu Siduo merely glanced at it indifferently and said, "There's no need!"
With those words, she left directly...
Upon seeing this, Lin Yuhan stood there dumbfounded...
A few seconds later, she voiced her bewilderment, "Could it be that the gift I offered was too cheap?"
It was no surprise that a student from Shrek Academy would have high standards!
However, it didn't matter. Her only wish was to have a match with Tang Wulin!
...
Thus, the students from Shrek Academy spent the night amidst the bustling atmosphere of the Sea City Grand Hotel!
The next day, as only a few streaks of light brightened the early morning sky, all members of the various exchange groups were woken by an announcement throughout the Sea City Grand Hotel...
"Good morning, everyone. I am the Federation Secretary-General Pan Wen, and I will be in charge of this exchange trip to the Xingluo Land!"
"Outside the Sea City Grand Hotel, the buses designated for transportation have all arrived. Please, all exchange groups, quickly check your numbers and board the buses in order!"
Due to the uniqueness of Shrek Academy, they were to ride in the second luxury coach!
The first coach, on the other hand, was reserved for members of the exchange group from the Xingluo Land!
Only after all the exchange groups had boarded the coaches did they all start at the same time, speeding towards the west...
About fifteen minutes later, the buses neared the dockside, where through the windows, the enormous silhouettes of two Giant Wheels could be faintly seen...
Each Giant Wheel was at least a hundred meters tall, with the deck alone spanning five levels. Beyond that, they were surrounded by numerous black openings, housing powerful Soul cannons.
Even in the face of an enemy, they possessed considerable counterattack capabilities!
Xie Xie exclaimed in awe, "My god! Is that... Is that a Giant Wheel? This is the first time in my life I've seen one!"
Similarly amazed, Xu Xiaoyan's eyes shone as she added, "Yeah, yeah, it's also my first time seeing such a large Giant Wheel, much more luxurious than those of my family's!"
Tang Wulin lamented, "After all, these Giant Wheels are meant to host the major powers. They have to be more luxurious; otherwise, it would not just be the reputation of Skysea City at stake!"
But indeed... This Giant Wheel is even larger than he had imagined! Especially those pitch-black Soul cannonballs, they must be at least level 6 Soul Guidance Devices, right?
...
The Giant Wheel, originally speeding along, became more tranquil by night, almost as if it were traversing solid land...
At this moment, Pan Wen, who was in charge of planning the itinerary, announced through the broadcast, "Attention, please! Attention, please!"
"First of all, I would like to welcome everyone aboard the Star Luo Ocean Liner. For this occasion, we will hold a grand banquet tonight, and we hope everyone will dress up for the event!"
"Let me repeat, the banquet will be held tonight in the main hall on the first floor, and we hope everyone will dress up for the event!"
After these words were spoken, the elders and teachers of the various academies quickly regained their composure. Clearly, they were already accustomed to such events...
After all, every year the ocean liner heading to Xingluo Land would host a banquet and a few small games!
However, the students showed surprised and excited expressions...
"What? There's actually going to be a banquet tonight? Does that mean we can wear beautiful dresses?"
"Awesome! I thought we'd just be eating and drinking on the Giant Wheel, but there's also a banquet!"
"Yeah, yeah, then we can see the pretty female students, and maybe even find a desirable partner! Hahaha!"
"Don't get too excited! Although it's a banquet, it's probably not that simple in such a setting!"
"That's right! Dressing up? It's just a competition of comparing ourselves to each other!"
Gu Yue, who was in her cabin, naturally also heard the announcement from the broadcast.
Her brows slightly furrowed as she thought to herself, "A banquet too?"
She wasn't very keen on participating in events with a competitive nature!
Just then, a gentle knocking sounded, "tap tap tap."
Gu Yue's expression immediately returned to calm as she said, "Come in."
Xu Xiaoyan and Ye Xinglan pushed the door open and entered, their eyes immediately landing on Gu Yue sitting on the bed...
Xu Xiaoyan immediately went over to her, jokingly saying, "Gu Yue, you must have heard the broadcast just now, right? There's going to be a banquet tonight!"
Gu Yue nodded, her expression emotionless, "Yeah, I heard it."
A look of suspicion crossed Xu Xiaoyan's face, "Why do you seem unhappy? Are you still angry about Wulin's confession?"
Ye Xinglan chimed in as well, "Gu Yue, Wulin's confession may have been too plain, but I don't think that's enough for you to be upset, right?"
Gu Yue's mouth twitched slightly, "Stop guessing. He didn't confess to me, and I'm not angry!"
Xu Xiaoyan took her hand, "Since you're not angry, then let's hurry up and meet up with Wulin and the others!"
Gu Yue hesitated, a look of uncertainty crossing her face, "But I..."
She had confronted Tang Wulin earlier at noon, and now she was too embarrassed to face him!
Ye Xinglan reassured her, "Gu Yue, don't hesitate. Wulin isn't the type to hold grudges; he surely knows you have your reasons!"
In the end, Gu Yue agreed, and they left the cabin together to meet up with Xie Xie and the others...
Xie Xie said impatiently, "Gu Yue, you've finally arrived. We've been waiting for you a long time, especially Wulin!"
Xu Lizhi tugged at his sleeve, "Xie Xie, don't say things like that now, okay?"
But Tang Wulin ignored what Xie Xie and Xu Lizhi were saying, his gaze fixed on Gu Yue, apologetically saying, "Gu Yue, about what happened at noon, I'm..."
Before he could finish, Gu Yue shook her head, interrupting him, "There's no need to say sorry. I told you, I wasn't angry with you."
Tang Wulin bowed his head, feeling somewhat dejected, "Is that so..."
