Chapter 3319: Concealment

Di Tian rubbed his head, "Bi Ji, do you think we should report this matter to the master?"

If the master learns of this news from someone at Shrek Academy, I'm afraid Myriad Demons might be held accountable!

If we take the initiative to tell her now, perhaps it will only warrant a scolding...

After all, no matter what, it was that Xie Xie who trespassed into the soul beast forest on his own!

Bi Ji hesitated for a moment before making a decision, "Such matters can't be kept secret anyway. Di Tian, continue managing the Spirit Pagoda here, I'll go inform the master!"

Lately, there have always been somewhat unsatisfactory incidents!

Di Tian nodded slightly, "Alright, then I'll trouble you with this. However, if the master gets angry because of this, be sure to soothe her mood!"

"After all, she just had a conflict with that Tang Wulin not long ago, and her mood must be quite low now!"

I wonder what exactly Tang Wulin said...

Humans truly are fickle creatures; they're simply not trustworthy!

Bi Ji nodded in acknowledgment and then turned to head to the resting room...

As she reached the door, before she could even speak, Gu Yuena's voice came from inside...

"Is that Bi Ji? Come in!"

Bi Ji wasn't surprised by this, as after all, the master's spiritual power was currently the strongest on the entire Continent!

Immediately after, she pushed the door open...

Her eyes instantly met Gu Yuena, who was designing on a blueprint, "Master, what are you doing??"

Gu Yuena, hearing this, did not avoid the question, "I am considering how to solve the reproduction issue of Artificial Spirit Beasts!"

Bi Ji was somewhat surprised, "Master, isn't this sort of thing supposed to be left to those researchers at the Spirit Pagoda? You don't need to handle it yourself."

Gu Yuena, however, gave a wry smile, "I am well aware of their technical capabilities; they simply can't solve this issue!"

If it were about giving normal soul beasts the ability to reproduce, it could easily be achieved!

But with Artificial Spirit Beasts, the difficulty is more than a hundred times greater!

Bi Ji, with a thoughtful nod, "Then have you come up with any ideas yet?"

Gu Yuena answered truthfully, "I am still attempting, and currently, I have not thought of any effective solutions."

If it were so easy to resolve, those researchers wouldn't have applied to halt this research project!

Bi Ji didn't press further, "I see..."

Gu Yuena stopped what she was doing and looked toward her, "Bi Ji, you've come here specifically; it surely isn't just to check on me, is it?"

"Has something happened again?"

Bi Ji sighed, "Master, you really can't be kept in the dark about anything; this matter is related to the soul beast forest!"

Gu Yuena's silver eyes flickered, "If I'm not mistaken, the soul beast forest has been invaded, right?"

The blatant lockdown of the area surrounding the soul beast forest by the Spirit Pagoda is bound to raise suspicions!

Especially from the Federation, with whom we have the deepest conflicts!

Bi Ji affirmed this, "Yes, but it was not the Federation that invaded—it was..."

Gu Yuena was taken aback for a moment, "It was? Bi Ji, how come you're only speaking in half sentences? That's not like you!"

Seeing this, Bi Ji continued, "It was Xie Xie from Shrek Academy who broke into the soul beast forest on his own."

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow, "Xie Xie? It seems he was sent by the Sea God's Pavilion to probe into the secrets of the soul beast forest."

Unexpectedly, it wasn't the Federation who sent someone first, but Shrek Academy!

But that makes sense; the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion must be worried about the impact this could have on the Continent's situation.

Seeing her reaction, Bi Ji added, "Not only that, but he also engaged in a fierce battle with two ferocious beasts we had sent to guard the place, nearly falling at the hands of Myriad Demons."

"Just to be safe," he immediately added another sentence, "but do not worry, Your Excellency, Xie Xie has already safely left the soul beast forest and is not in any danger!"

Gu Yuena's expression still showed no change, "I see..."

She did not believe that relying on two ferocious beasts was enough to kill Xie Xie!

She knew his strength better than anyone else!

Bi Ji was bewildered, "Um... Your Excellency, aren't you going to say something?"

She had braced herself for his anger, but it seemed her worries were unnecessary?

Hearing this, Gu Yuena chuckled lightly, "Bi Ji, what do you hope I would say?"

"Since it was Xie Xie who first entered the soul beast forest, their stopping him, even killing, is not wrong at all!"

If she blamed her loyal subordinates for this, it would be quite unreasonable!

With this response, Bi Ji also swallowed the words she wanted to say...

"It's good that Your Excellency understands. With them there, we should be able to keep the secret of artificial spirit beasts not being able to reproduce for a little while longer!"

"However, it seems that forces like the federation always want to plant their pawns in the Spirit Pagoda; should we deal with it?"

Gu Yuena shook her head, dismissing the suggestion, "No need, even if they've won over some Spirit Pagoda Members, they will not be able to find out anything!"

After all, those sent to guard the soul beast forest only knew of sealing off the surrounding area!

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Gu Yuena moved past the topic, instructing "Bi Ji, during this time, I will find a way to handle the artificial spirit beasts issue!"

"For the rest, I will leave it entirely to you and He Ditian,"

Although making artificial spirit beasts capable of reproduction was very difficult, it was not impossible for her; she had already vaguely found the key!

"Yes, Your Excellency, just focus on your research, He Ditian and I will take care of everything related to the Spirit Pagoda!"

...

Federation!

One of the War Gods spoke to Guan Yue ahead, "Reporting to the Hall Master, according to the news from our people planted inside the Spirit Pagoda..."

"Most of the Spirit Pagoda Members do not know why the soul beast forest is being sealed off and are merely following orders!"

"To find out the true situation, we fear we can only learn from those ferocious beasts or from Gu Yuena herself!"

And that, obviously, is quite unlikely!

Guan Yue snorted coldly, "This Gu Yuena has even kept information from the Spirit Pagoda Members; it's probably not a trifle, but I also won't rule it out as a distraction to divert our attention for some underhand maneuvering."

The former expressed some confusion, "Hall Master, didn't the Federation and Spirit Pagoda, after repeated discussions, decide to join forces to eradicate the evil Soul Masters of the Tiandou Empire?"

"Could it be that we've misunderstood? Dispatching so many Spirit Pagoda Members could very well be to protect the artificial spirit beasts in the soul beast forest!"

Guan Yue instantly rejected this possibility, "Impossible!"

"When we captured so many artificial spirit beasts before, the Spirit Pagoda took no action; why would they now waste so much effort to protect them?"

"Regarding your mention of the coalition, it is only before the eradication of the evil Soul Masters!"

"Once the evil Soul Masters are gone, the relationship between the two sides will deteriorate drastically!"
