Golden Dragon Tang Wulin 2

Chapter 252 - The Breakthrough of the Second Seal

“What do you mean?” Xie Xie eyed her with suspicion.

Gu Yue said, “I guess you can be considered a male.”

His voice held a flurry of annoyance. “Are you saying you treated me like I was a girl before?”

Gu Yue giggled, a glint to her eyes. “You can take it however you want.”

Then, Xu Xiaoyan approached Xie Xie and latched on to his arm. “So we’re actually a group of sisters! I wouldn’t have known if big sis Gu Yue didn’t tell me.”

He rolled his eyes in exasperation, lips pinched as he wrested his arm free. “You girls are always bullying me! I bet you don’t have what it takes to mess with Wulin. Oh, whatever. I’m hungry now. You two guard him while I get some breakfast. Do you want me to bring anything back?”

Gu Yue nodded. “I want meat, steamed buns, juice, and yogurt. Oh right, some vegetables too.”

Xu Xiaoyan counted on her fingers as she said, “I want some bread, jam, yogurt, and a fried egg. Actually, make that two. Yeah, I’m still growing after all.”   

Xie Xie said, “Yeah, growing as round as a fried egg!” He knew enough to run off after his snarky comment, escaping before Xu Xiaoyan had the chance to erupt.

Not long after his getaway, there was a knock on the door.

“He’s back so quickly?” Xu Xiaoyan mumbled as she walked to the door. However, when she opened the door, the person outside was the white-haired lady from yesterday rather than her teammate.

“Oh, it’s you. Auntie, where’s Teacher Wu?” Xu Xiaoyan asked.

Shen Yi entered the room. “Your teacher is fine. He’s just taking care of some matters for you all at the academy right now. Has your captain awakened yet?”

Xu Xiaoyan shook her head. “Not yet.”

A sigh escaped Shen Yi’s lips. “Then all we can do is wait. When he’s conscious, I’ll bring you all over.”

Confused, Xu Xiaoyan asked, “You’re bringing us over? But it’s already too late!”

Shen Yi wore a faint smile as she tousled Xu Xiaoyan’s hair, the same way Wu Zhangkong had done with hers the day before. “Don’t worry about it. Your teacher has already settled things. Your tests might be a bit harder, but you still have one last chance. We’ll depart once your captain is awake.”

“Really? That’s awesome! Teacher Wu is the best!” Xu Xiaoyan bounced with joy.

Although they had sacrificed the test for Tang Wulin, having both was still the best! Missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would have been a tragedy!

Gu Yue stared at Shen Yi in surprise. She hadn’t expected a second chance and it was as if a heavy mountain had been lifted off of her.

In the washroom.

Tang Wulin remained soaking in the bathtub. The water had lost some of its heat, but was still lukewarm.

Golden mist gathered in the air, shrouding his body in a radiant haze.

“Have I succeeded?” Inside of his spiritual world, Tang Wulin found himself in the mystical hall once more.
