Chapter 573.3. Prince Xu Sanshi
At this moment, not every Elder from the Sea God’s Pavilion was present. Yan Shaozhe, Cai Mei’er, Xian Lin’er, Qian Duoduo, and Zhang Lexuan were absent from the current conversation. As the younger members of the Sea God’s Pavilion, they had all set off for the front line, ready to take on the Sun Moon Empire’s forces.
Hence, the Elders who stayed behind at the Sea God’s Pavilion were the older ones.
Huo Yuhao stopped walking, but his head remained lowered.
Elder Song scolded, “This is the Sea God’s Pavilion—not your Tang Sect. Do you think you can come and go as you please? Do you think you can just quit as you wish?”
Huo Yuhao’s head remained lowered as he kept quiet.
Elder Song stared coldly at him before continuing, “I know what you’re thinking. You must be thinking that our decision was wrong. You must be blaming the attack on Dou Ling Empire and the deaths of the royal family on our request for help! Am I right?”
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, “Elder Song, that’s not true. It’s just that sometimes, I feel that the Academy is weighed down by too many responsibilities. Our heritage, which is over ten thousand years old, is both the foundation of our strength and an immense burden on our shoulders. This burden stops us from analyzing our situation rationally. In fact, it makes us overly conservative about everything we do. I just want to say that I am not blaming the Academy for everything that has happened. I am just feeling a little down. However, this war is far from over. Right after this, I intend to head to the battlefield and continue fighting.”
“If we were to fight the Sun Moon Empire head-on, there’s absolutely no chance of us winning. Hence, I can only rely on unorthodox methods. In other words, I might need to rely on what is seemingly unscrupulous to weaken their forces. This is the only way that we might stand a chance against them. I cannot allow the Academy to be shamed because of what I plan to do. Hence…”
“What?” After hearing his explanation, the Elders present seemed to have lost their rage as a look of surprise formed on their faces.
