Master-Disciples Talk (1)

Leng Yaozhu couldn't calm down to handle her official duties, so she got up and walked to the window to look at the scenery outside. From the top of the Spirit Pagoda, she could see most of Shrek City in full view.

She gazed at the city that had developed over tens of thousands of years, feeling a pang of confusion. What would she do if her two disciples really became enemies of all mankind in the future? What if Tang Sect and Shrek Academy decided to attack them? How would she react if her disciples fought back?

After all, Leng Yaozhu was different from Le Zhengen. Whether it was the Southern Legion or the Angel Family, they always followed Le Zhengen's lead. As long as Le Zhengen made a decision, no one would object.

But the family behind her relied on the Spirit Pagoda. If Anping and Gu Yuena really moved the Star Dou Forest away, it would affect the fundamental interests of the Spirit Pagoda. She knew that the Soul Pagoda still needed soul beasts as samples for studying soul technology.

After thinking for a long time, Leng Yaozhu took out a soul guide mobile phone from her storage item, flipped to one of the numbers and hesitated whether to call it. This mobile phone was given to her by Gu Yuena when she met her in Mingdu before she and Anping left. This number was naturally hers.

She pressed the dial button after a moment of hesitation. To her surprise, the call was connected in just a few seconds. She had expected that Gu Yuena had abandoned the number, but now that she had answered, she didn't know what to say.

Then she heard a familiar voice coming from her mobile phone: "Master, what's the matter?"

She also heard a clear and crisp voice in the background: "Sister Nana, why would someone call you at this time?"

Gu Yuena whispered to the other person: "This is my and Anping's master. Let me see what she wants."

"Oh, it's Heavenly Phoenix Douluo. Go ahead and chat. I'll look for a place to eat later." The girl said and stopped talking, apparently searching for a restaurant.

Needless to say, the two people talking were Gu Yuena and Xu Xiaoyan. When Gu Yuena noticed that Leng Yaozhu hadn't said anything, she called out again: "Master? Are you still there?"

Leng Yaozhu finally spoke, but she didn't ask what she wanted to. She just said: "It's nothing, I just want to know how you are doing."

Gu Yuena was not a fool, so she guessed her reason for calling and said: "Anping and I are fine, master. You're calling because of the Tang Sect and Shrek, right? Zang Xin and Zhou Shi have come to see you, haven't they? Master, if you have anything to ask, just ask."

Gu Yuena mentioned Zang Xin and Zhou Shi as if she was certain. Leng Yaozhu was slightly stunned and said: "How did you know it was them who came to see me?"

If Gu Yuena had just mentioned the Tang Sect and Shrek, Leng Yaozhu wouldn't have doubted her. She had always known that her disciple was smart, so it was normal for her to guess.

But what surprised Leng Yaozhu was how many people there were in the Tang Sect and Shrek. Even the number of titled Douluo was not small. Gu Yuena had actually named the exact people.

Leng Yaozhu would have suspected that they had planted a spy in the Spirit Pagoda, if she didn't know that Anping and Gu Yuena had hardly any contact with other people there, and had never meddled in its affairs.

Gu Yuena said casually: "Of course I figured it out. No, it wasn't really a guess. Le Zhengyu's grandpa told us that those two people had just visited him. It would take them about this long to get from the Southern Army to Shrek City."

"Master happened to call at this time. It was too much of a coincidence, so I assumed that they had come to see you. And they probably came because of our actions, right?"

"I see." Leng Yaozhu murmured. She was slightly taken aback at first, and then remembered the news from Star Luo Continent. Her two disciples were close to Le Zhengen's grandson, Le Zhengyu. Le Zhengyu's departure from the Tang Sect and Shrek was also likely related to them.

Leng Yaozhu guessed that her disciples had met Le Zhengen through Le Zhengyu, but she didn't know what they had done to impress him, and how they had convinced him to entrust his grandson to Anping and Gu Yuena.

But that was not the issue that Leng Yaozhu cared about the most, so she asked: "Zang Xin said that when you were in Star Luo Continent, you extracted the bloodline of one of their Tang Sect disciples, and also made them lose a small world. He also said that you caused the Tang Sect to suffer heavy losses. Is that true or false?"

Gu Yuena thought for a moment, and since the Tang Sect already knew about it, she decided to tell the truth. She said: "There's no point in hiding it. The first two things were indeed done by us. But as for the Tang Sect losing a lot of people, we didn't attack them. I don't know how to explain that."

Anping and Gu Yuena had never expected that the Tang Sect would send people to explore the energy storm. In their opinion, that was a foolish thing to do. When they saw such a storm, they wanted to get away from it, not investigate it.

As for the storm that made those soul masters unable to use their soul power, they could only say that they should have avoided it when they saw the towering pillar of light. They didn't anticipate that the Tang Sect would dispatch everyone in the vicinity towards it.

Leng Yaozhu was slightly surprised. Zang Xin didn't seem to be lying at the time, and since Gu Yuena admitted to the first two things, there was no reason for her to deny the third one, if they had done it.

Anping, who had been listening all this time, said: "I think those people from the Tang Sect assumed that we were at the center of the energy explosion, and they wanted to find us and kill us. But they ended up dying in the storm behind us."

Gu Yuena had also witnessed the method of transforming space into a small plane, and she knew what kind of process it involved. So she nodded slightly and said: "That's very likely what happened."

Anping didn't intend to hide anything from Leng Yaozhu, and Leng Yaozhu heard everything clearly. Although she didn't know what Anping and Gu Yuena had done, she realized that they didn't mean to cause such a disaster for the Tang Sect. They were only indirectly responsible for it.

As Leng Yaozhu was pondering over it, Anping said: "Since master asked, we'll tell you what happened next."

Leng Yaozhu was stunned by Gu Yuena's casual admission. Her mind was in turmoil, and she didn't know how to reply to her words.

She had to consider the interests of his family and the Spirit Pagoda. She should treat Anping and Gu Yuena as enemies, since they had taken away the Star Dou Forest, which was vital to the Pagoda.

But deep down, she still cared for Anping and Gu Yuena as his disciples.
