Chapter 3093: Resolving Conflicts_1
Gu Yuena also very directly admitted, "Yes, it was deliberate on my part to have the Spirit Pagoda release Artificial Spirit Beasts into the soul beast forest for the federation to discover."
Otherwise, the Artificial Spirit Beasts could have been deployed in a much more covert manner!
Tang Wulin was puzzled and pressed her, "Gu Yue, why would you do that? Aren't these soul beasts your own kind?"
"Once they fall into the hands of the federation, it's unlikely they'll survive!"
"Not to mention, they might be dissected and analyzed..."
The federation's technology was no less advanced than that of the Spirit Pagoda!
However, a curve formed on Gu Yuena's lips, "I'm well aware of that, but the federation won't be able to crack the technology behind Artificial Spirit Beasts!"
"Because they lack one most crucial element!"
If she wasn't absolutely certain, she would never have done it!
After a pause, she added, "As for why I did it, naturally, I have my reasons!"
To revive the Soul Beast Clan, sacrifices are necessary!
And that's exactly what this batch of Artificial Spirit Beasts was!
Hearing this, Tang Wulin clenched his fists and said, "Even if they are soul beasts, this seems too cruel. The Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython, don't they object?"
Gazing directly at him, Gu Yuena replied emotionlessly, "The Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython will not interfere in this matter. After all, they were once soul beasts themselves!"
"But why, Wulin, as a human, do you care so much about soul beasts?"
Tang Wulin was stunned, "I..."
"Although I am not a soul beast, I carry the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King within me. I'm half a soul beast!"
"I can somewhat understand your feelings, so from the bottom of my heart, I also hope that the Soul Beast Clan can be revived!"
Gu Yuena's silver eyes twinkled, "In that case, Wulin, why don't you agree with Shrek Academy cooperating with the Spirit Pagoda?"
"As the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, as long as you agree, I'm sure the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion wouldn't object!"
"In doing so, the mere federation wouldn't stand a chance at stopping the revival of the Soul Beast Clan!"
With her strength and status, she could surely represent Shrek Academy!
Tang Wulin bowed his head, "I'm sorry, Gu Yue, I can't do it!"
"Although I wish for the revival of the Soul Beast Clan, I do not want innocent Soul Masters to be persecuted!"
"Moreover, there's no need for Shrek Academy to be enemies with the federation!"
As a representative of the whole Shrek Academy, he couldn't make any decisions on his own, even as the Pavilion Master!
Gu Yuena seemed to understand the meaning behind his words and spoke indifferently, "I understand!"
As expected, even with their close relationship, it was impossible to sway Wulin into pushing Shrek Academy to collaborate with the Spirit Pagoda!
Their stances were completely different!
Sensing the change in her mood, Tang Wulin sighed, "Gu Yue, I..."
Gu Yuena quickly cut him off, "Don't worry, I don't blame you, it's just that our stances are different!"
"Of course, it's better not to mention these things in front of others in the future!"
Since their positions were different, discussing such matters would only lead to conflicts between them!
Upon hearing her words, Tang Wulin could only utter one word
"Fine... I'll be careful!"
Gu Yue was willing to go so far as to provoke him for the revival of the Soul Beast Clan?
It's a pity then, his stance was very firm!
It's beyond anyone to change it!
Just as he couldn't persuade Gu Yue to return to Shrek Academy!
...
Tiandou Empire Palace!
Xue Ye looked down at Xue Qinghe below, his curiosity piqued as he asked, "Qinghe, what did Sect Master Ning say to you after you left?"
The latter replied with a clasped fist, "Father, my teacher expresses concern for my safety, so he suggested that I should go to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect."
"He said with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo there, my safety could be guaranteed!"
"However, I tactfully declined."
Leaving the imperial palace for the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect at this time would only deepen suspicion upon myself, providing Prince Xue Xing with leverage!
Of course, what is more important is that it would disappoint you, Xue Ye!
Given these factors, I choose to stay in the imperial palace!
Xue Qinghe bit his lip, "Qinghe, what Sect Master Ning says is not wrong—staying in the imperial palace, you might be attacked by an unknown Soul Master and end up like the fourth brother,"
"Even so, are you willing to stay in the imperial palace?"
Xue Qinghe's eyes sharply met the other's, "Of course not!"
He paused for a moment, then said again, "But Father, after you have named me Crown Prince and did not hesitate to invite Sect Master Ning to be my teacher multiple times, this represents your expectations of me."
"Therefore, even if threats come my way, I will not be afraid!!"
Xue Ye revealed a look of satisfaction, "Good… very good, truly worthy of being my child. Naming you, Qinghe, as the Crown Prince back then was indeed the correct decision!"
"However, you can be at ease; I won't allow those behind the scenes to act recklessly. Tomorrow, I will dispatch the strongest Soul Master of the Tiandou Empire Palace to protect you!"
Xue Qinghe is different from the other princes!
I have expended vast resources to cultivate him, and with his own excellence, I cannot let him die young under any circumstances!
Otherwise, it would be a tremendous loss for the Tian Dou Imperial Family!!
Xue Qinghe immediately gave thanks with a clasped fist, "Thank you, Father. But, dispatching the strongest Soul Master of the Tian Dou Imperial Family to protect me, what about your safety…"
Having such a powerful being following me would be very troublesome!
If possible, I would rather not have it that way!
Xue Ye waved his hand dismissively, extremely confident as he responded, "It doesn't matter, Qinghe, do not underestimate the foundation of the royal household!"
The royal household has stood so tall for so long, and it's not just due to luck!!
The foundation is, of course, incredibly profound!
Xue Qinghe's eyes flickered for a moment, "If that's the case, then I am relieved!"
It turns out there are even more powerful Soul Masters in existence!
It seems I have underestimated the foundation of the royal household!
Xue Ye nodded, "Yes, but besides that, there is another matter I need you to handle!"
Xue Qinghe maintained an expressionless face, "Please speak, Father."
Xue Ye took a deep breath, "Prince Xue Xing, although he has always been suspicious of you, Qinghe, he is, after all, considering the interests of the royal household. I hope you won't hold a grudge against him!"
He said this to prevent further escalation of the conflict between the two.
Xue Qinghe suddenly realized, earnestly responding, "Rest assured, Father, I have never borne a grudge against Prince Xue Xing and do not care about these things!"
After looking at him closely for a few seconds, Xue Ye finally praised, "Well done!"
Then, he waved his hand again, "Alright, Qinghe, you may leave now; I am also somewhat tired today!"
Receiving the people from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect had indeed drained much of his energy!
"Yes, Father. Then, I shall take my leave and not disturb you any further!"
After gesturing, Xue Qinghe left the main hall without looking back…
