Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 553 Putting aside the facts, is Yan Shaozhe completely without fault?
"Yes, Elder Mu," Gong Changlong replied respectfully to Mu En.

He knew that Elder Mu's health had never been very good, and even if he summoned the other elders who were away to return to the academy and hold a meeting at the Sea God Pavilion, he would not be able to personally attend.

Old Master Mu entrusted this task to me, which shows his trust in me. I must do my best to complete this task.

Therefore, Gong Changlong immediately arranged for people to take care of the Beast Fighting Area, and then quickly set off from Shrek Academy to the Star Luo Empire to search for the whereabouts of the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion.

a few days later.

Gong Changlong led the other elders back to Shrek Academy.

The group flew through the sky.

Xuanzi, the strongest among them, was now hanging at the very back of the group, his face ashen, his eyes red-rimmed, and his aged face still bearing traces of tears.

In the past few days, he has obtained a great deal of other evidence, which confirms that his plan has failed and that Zhongli Wu really attacked White Tiger City.

Therefore, the families of those students who didn't have strong backgrounds but trusted the academy have now all been killed by Zhong Liwu and his group, which makes him feel guilty and uneasy.

为什么事情会变成这样呢：
For the first time, there was a possibility of killing Zhongliwu, and an opportunity to protect the students' families. These two happy things combined should have made me even happier.

But now Zhongliwu has attacked White Tiger City, making both things a mess. The joy that was originally expected to be gained has now turned into pain.

Gradually, his flight speed slowed down until he stopped, gazing blankly at the Sea God Pavilion not far away.

Qian Duoduo noticed that Xuanzi had stopped. He turned to look at Xuanzi and said through gritted teeth, "Elder Xuan, Elder Mu said he wants to hold a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion. You're not going to run away at the last minute, are you?"

Because Xuanzi has made repeated mistakes, and now he has committed an unprecedentedly serious error, Qian Duoduo is now harboring resentment towards Xuanzi, and his attitude towards Xuanzi is naturally not as respectful as before.

Upon hearing this, everyone else turned to look at Xuanzi.

Xuanzi's gaze swept over everyone, his face bitter: "How could I, the biggest sinner, possibly desert my post? I should be punished for my mistakes. You all go to the Sea God Pavilion first. I want to be alone for a while. I will go to the Sea God Pavilion on my own later."

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances before flying into the Sea God Pavilion.

As for Gong Changlong, since he was not an elder, he left the Sea God Pavilion after reporting back to Mu En.

Xuanzi continued to gaze at the Sea God Pavilion, his eyes gradually becoming red and swollen, tears streaming down his face. He took out a pot of wine and began to drink slowly. At this moment, he was not enjoying the wine, but rather drowning his sorrows in it.

Suddenly, a voice struggling to suppress anger rang in his mind: "Xuanzi, stop drinking and come in for the meeting immediately!"

"It's Elder Mu's voice!" Xuanzi put away the wine pot, wiped the tears from his face with his dirty sleeve, and then quickly flew into the Sea God Pavilion. As soon as he entered the Sea God Pavilion, he found that everyone's eyes were focused on him.

He quickly found his seat, lowered his head, dared not look Moon in the eye, and silently awaited the impending storm of judgment.

Mu En gave Xuan Zi a disappointed look, then said, "I will be presiding over this Sea God Pavilion meeting. The academy suffered huge losses in the White Tiger City incident."

The elders present all wore expressions of sorrow, with Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er even having reddened eyes, as did Zhang Lexuan, a member of the Sea God Pavilion. "Xuanzi, raise your head and look at me. So many people died in the White Tiger City incident; you cannot escape responsibility," Mu En shouted sternly.

Xuanzi slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, and choked out, "Elder Mu, you are right. I am to blame for the White Tiger City incident. I am a sinner. Therefore, Elder Mu, I hope to resign from the Sea God Pavilion. After all, I am no longer qualified to serve as an elder. I only wish to be a free man at Shrek Academy."

As he spoke, he stood up, making a gesture as if to leave.

The other elders' expressions changed drastically.

Zhang Lexuan was also stunned. She wondered why Elder Xuan had chosen to resign.

Am I supposed to kneel in front of the Sea God Pavilion again, begging them not to resign?
Thinking about this, Zhang Lexuan felt a slight discomfort in her knees.

However, if things really develop to this point, she will definitely choose to kneel and beg the other party to stay. After all, Elder Xuan is a level 98 Super Douluo and an indispensable powerhouse for Shrek Academy.

Mu En snorted coldly, thinking to himself, "Why does Xuanzi always choose to resign after making a big mistake?"

Does Xuanzi really think that resigning will erase all the mistakes he has made?
Or is the other party choosing this tactic as a strategic retreat? After all, no matter what, I can't possibly get the other party to resign from the Sea God Pavilion.

Shrek Academy is in a bad situation right now. The opponent is the second strongest in Shrek Academy, and there is no way he will be idle.

“Sit down! Since you made a mistake, you should take responsibility instead of trying to evade your duties by resigning!” Moon said disapprovingly.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi sat back down, his face still showing sadness.

Mu En asked, "I'm asking you, why did you arrange for the students' families to be sent to White Tiger City? You clearly said at the Sea God Pavilion meeting that you wanted to send these students to Star Luo City."

The others stared intently at Xuanzi, equally curious.

After all, if the students' families had been relocated to Xingluo City, the situation of all those people being killed would not have occurred.

Xuanzi was silent for a while before saying, "Because, logically speaking, Zhongliwu will definitely attack Xingluo City. Therefore, for the safety of those students and their families, I certainly cannot arrange for them to stay in Xingluo City, otherwise I would be harming them."

Although I am very confident in killing Zhongli Wu, I cannot guarantee that the safety of others will not be compromised in the process.

"Why would Zhongliwu inevitably attack Xingluo City?" Mu En was still puzzled.

Xuanzi sighed, then slowly said, "Elder Mu, because I believe Yan Shaozhe is a traitor, he will definitely inform Zhongliwu of the plan passed at the Sea God Pavilion meeting. In this way, Zhongliwu will not be able to attack White Tiger City, but will directly attack Star Luo City."

"All I need to do is guard Xingluo City with my men and wait for Zhongli Wu to enter the fray. That's why I'm unwilling to support Shao Zhe and Mei'er. After all, since Baihu City won't be attacked, there's no need to support them. I just need to defend Xingluo City."

"However, I did not expect that Zhongli Wu would choose to attack White Tiger City! On the way back, after careful consideration, I felt that Shao Zhe and Zhongli Wu might have had a conflict, so I did not reveal the plan passed at the Sea God Pavilion to Zhongli Wu."

"I did make mistakes in the White Tiger City incident, but putting aside the facts, is Yan Shaozhe without fault?"
