Tang Wulin and the others felt less depressed under Chen Xinjie's comfort. Although they had not completely gotten over the shadow of failure, it would not affect their future cultivation progress.
Seeing that his words had worked, Chen Xinjie nodded secretly, thinking that the Shrek Seven Devils lacked experience, so they were affected by two or three failures.
Now that Tang Wulin and the others had understood, Chen Xinjie didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer. It would be bad if it had the opposite effect, so he asked, "What do you think of Anping and Gu Yuena?"
When Chen Xinjie asked this, the Shrek Seven Devils knew that he was not asking about their cultivation talents, but about other aspects, and they all thought about it seriously.
However, they also knew that Chen Xinjie was mainly asking Tang Wulin and Xie Xie. After all, only they were classmates with Anping and Gu Yuena and had more contact with them. The other members of the Shrek Seven Devils had only exchanged a few words with them, so they couldn't have any deep impressions.
After a while, Xie Xie spoke first, "After seeing them today, I feel that they haven't changed much from a few years ago. They are still arrogant, cold, and aloof. They act like they are outsiders all the time."
From Xie Xie's point of view, when Anping was in Eastsea City, he only went to school and studied every day, and never interacted with anyone. Even Gu Yuena approached Anping on her own initiative.
The same was true for Gu Yuena. Except for Anping and Xu Xiaoyan, she hardly talked to anyone. Even Xu Xiaoyan liked to chat with Gu Yuena because of her lively personality. These two people were like outsiders.
Tang Wulin also nodded and said: "It's true what Xie Xie said. Anping once commented that the soul master competition was useless. When we talked to them today, they also looked indifferent."
"Even when we mentioned the abyss, their expressions didn't change at all. Either they had known our intentions for a long time, or they really didn't care about the abyss."
Chen Xinjie frowned slightly after hearing what Tang Wulin said. Whether they knew their purpose or not, or whether they cared about the abyss or not, it was not good news.
Their purpose was only known to the Shrek Seven Devils and some senior officials of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, and they couldn't have reported it to the City of Miracles.
That meant, if Anping and Gu Yuena had known their intentions for a long time, they must have guessed them. In that case, these two people were too smart. He was afraid that even if all the Shrek Seven Devils grew up, they might not be able to outsmart them.
If they really didn't care, it was not a good thing either. They had always speculated that the barrier of the City of Miracles could be broken by a very high god level, and the Holy Lord of the Abyss must be a god level too, but they didn't know why he hadn't taken action yet.
Anping and Gu Yuena didn't care about the abyss. Either they were confident that the barrier of the City of Miracles could resist the abyss's invasion, or they had other backup plans.
No matter which one they were, it was not good news for them, the Tang Sect, and the Shrek Academy. As for attacking the City of Miracles directly, there was no need to think about it. The two gods, Niutian and Taitan, had tried secretly. With their abilities, they could not break through the invisible barrier for the time being.
As for sneaking into the City of Miracles to take action, that was even more impossible. They might have had this idea before. But after the divine power and Poseidon consciousness in the Poseidon Trident were suppressed, they realized that the City of Miracles might not be as simple as they thought.
In the end, Chen Xinjie could only sigh in his heart and say, "The City of Miracles is indeed a bit weird. Let's just leave it at that for now. Your task now is to grow up quickly. The Tang Sect and the Shrek Academy have their own plans for the City of Miracles. You can go back first."
As for Anping and Gu Yuena, Chen Xinjie didn't mention them again. Because he already knew that Gu Yuena was the Silver Dragon King. There was no doubt about that. The focus should be on Anping.
After all, how could the person who could be approached personally by the Silver Dragon King be an ordinary person? As for love at first sight, Chen Xinjie didn't believe it at all. He had to think carefully about what to do.
After the Shrek Seven Devils left Chen Xinjie's room, Chen Xinjie thought about it and decided to find someone to find out what was going on with Anping, so he approached Yun Ming.
Yun Ming felt a little offended after seeing Chen Xinjie. He didn't know what Chen Xinjie wanted to do, but he still invited him into his small courtyard.
Looking at the flowing water and rockery flowers in the yard, Chen Xinjie joked, "You really know how to enjoy yourself. It seems that you are treated well in this City of Miracles."
Yun Ming shook his head slightly and said, "Although I am busier than before, I still have a goal. As for the salary that is not to be continued, it doesn't matter."
Hearing what Yun Ming said, Chen Xinjie felt a little unhappy, knowing that the other party had really betrayed Poseidon and would never return to the Shrek Academy.
However, he didn't show it. He could feel that he was really no match for Yun Ming now, not even at sea. He was filled with anger and fear for a moment.
He was afraid that the City of Miracles was actually willing to help Yun Ming become a god. When he first came here, he only had a quick glance and felt that Yun Ming might have made some progress. But now that he was face to face, he realized that Yun Ming had really left him far behind.
Seeing that Chen Xinjie didn't know what he was thinking, Yun Ming said straight to the point, "I don't know why you, Chen Xinjie, came to my place. If it's because of the ice and fire eyes or artificial soul rings and soul bones, you can go back. I can't help you with those."
Although he didn't come here because of those things, Chen Xinjie didn't look good after being rejected so directly. He frowned slightly and said, "Are you planning to follow those two, Anping and Gu Yuena, wholeheartedly?"
Being stared at by Chen Xinjie's scorching eyes, Yun Ming was not angry and said with a smile, "So what? Anyway, I feel that I am doing well now. And Anping and Gu Yuena are the city lord and deputy city lord of our City of Miracles. It's not like you think!"
Hearing Yun Ming's refutation, Chen Xinjie frowned and said, "Did you know that Gu Yuena is..."
Before Chen Xinjie could finish speaking, Yun Ming interrupted, "The Silver Dragon King, of course I know. But what does it matter? What do you want? If you want to sow discord, you can leave!"
Chen Xinjie was even more puzzled by Yun Ming's words. He had thought that Yun Ming might have joined the City of Miracles for the sake of becoming a god and would return someday. But now he realized that Yun Ming had really become loyal to the City of Miracles.
