Master-Disciples Talk (2)

Leng Yaozhu was silent for a long time. Anping understood his dilemma, so he took the phone from Gu Yuena and said: "Master, I know what you're worried about. Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I'll give you some advice. The choice is yours."

"If you trust us, you can leave the Spirit Pagoda with your loyal followers and look for Le Zhengen. If you think the Spirit Pagoda is the best option, just ignore what I said."

Gu Yuena glared at Anping and said angrily: "How can you be so rude to the master?"

Anping smiled and said: "Don't you agree, Nana? We've lived in the Spirit Pagoda. We know how important the Star Dou Forest is to them. Sooner or later, the leaders of the Spirit Pagoda will find out that we took it away. Master and her descendants will surely face persecution, so it's better to leave as soon as possible."

Anping and Gu Yuena both hoped that Leng Yaozhu would join their side, so they deliberately tried to persuade her.

Leng Yaozhu dealt with many people from the Federation every day, so she could tell that Anping and Gu Yuena were making excuses to leave. She shook her head slightly and said: "You two are really giving me a headache."

The problem that Anping raised was a big one for Leng Yaozhu. She was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

If she was the only one in the Leng family, she could stay or leave as she wished. But the Leng family was not a small one in the Spirit Pagoda. There were some relatives who cared more about their interests than their kinship. They wouldn't give up their power easily.

If she forced them to leave their positions, they might not say anything to her face, but they would surely gossip behind her back. If she didn't leave, and the Spirit Pagoda found out that Anping and Gu Yuena were behind the disappearance of the Star Dou Forest, her family would inevitably be oppressed.

There was also the issue of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. No matter what the reasons were, Anping and Gu Yuena had offended them beyond repair.

Leng Yaozhu didn't know what the small world that Zang Xin mentioned was, nor did she know what kind of precious treasures were in the Ice and Fire Eyes of the Tang Sect. But she could tell from Zang Xin's expression that they were extremely important to them.

Gu Yuena giggled and said: "How can you say that we've brought you trouble? Master, you must know that I'm a soul beast in human form. Isn't it natural for me to do something for the survival of my kind?"

Leng Yaozhu was a bit puzzled and said: "Let's not talk about me for now. I can understand that moving the Star Dou Forest was for the sake of the soul beasts. But what about going to the Star Luo Empire? Destroying the Tang Sect's small world and taking the blood of their disciple, and then coming back to the Douluo Continent and stealing their Ice and Fire Eyes. Was that also for the survival of the soul beasts?"

Gu Yuena said: "Master, you know the facts but not the reasons. The so-called small world of the Tang Sect is a fragment of the world that was left behind after the war between the Dragon Clan and the God Realm. There are remnants of the Dragon Clan in it that are very important to us."

Leng Yaozhu had no idea about these things. Zang Xin had never told her the origins of those two places, but she trusted that Gu Yuena was telling the truth. She said: "Let's leave that aside for now. What about Tang Wulin? Wasn't he your classmate? Why did you treat him so harshly?"

"I've seen that boy in the Spirit Pagoda. He's not only well-mannered and clever, but also very gifted. If he hadn't joined the Tang Sect, I would have invited him to the Spirit Pagoda."

Gu Yuena didn't reveal anything, so Leng Yaozhu couldn't possibly know Tang Wulin's identity as the son of Poseidon. After all, very few people knew that secret.

Anping answered Leng Yaozhu's question: "Master, we had our reasons for doing that. You only know Tang Wulin's apparent identity, but you don't know his true one."

"True identity? What kind of true identity could he have?" Leng Yaozhu was puzzled. She had seen Tang Wulin's profile. He was just an ordinary soul master from Glorybound City. What other identity could he have besides being a student of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy?

Anping said: "Master, please keep this confidential if I tell you. Tang Wulin's name on the surface is indeed plain, but if you look closely, don't you notice any resemblance to Dragon Butterfly Douluo's name?"

"You must know that Dragon Butterfly Douluo is the daughter of Tang San and Xiao Wu. The Tang in her name comes from Tang San's Tang, and the Wu comes from Xiao Wu's Wu."

Anping dared to talk about these things with Leng Yaozhu because he wasn't afraid of being overheard by Tang Hao and A Yin. He had made Leng Yaozhu's phone himself.

Leng Yaozhu was familiar with Dragon Butterfly Douluo, as she was the lover of Ice Spirit Douluo, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda and her own master.

She was stunned for a moment and said: "How can you expect me to believe that? There are so many people in the Federation. It's not uncommon to have similar or even identical names."

"Besides, even if he is really the son of Lord Poseidon, aren't you afraid of provoking divine wrath by taking his blood?"

Anping sensed that Leng Yaozhu was genuinely concerned about him in the last sentence. He said: "Of course, a name alone is not enough to prove anything. What if I tell you that he has Tang San's spiritual consciousness?"

Leng Yaozhu gasped and said: "Is that true?"

Anping said: "It is. We even met that spiritual consciousness briefly. The Poseidon Trident he carries is not a fake."

Leng Yaozhu asked: "Is that how you convinced Le Zhengen?"

She knew about the feud between the angel and the sea god, so she wondered how they had managed to persuade him.
