Le Zhengyu Decision

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan and Le Zhengyu both had a flash of insight.

They were both natives of Douluo Planet. Even though they were young, they understood that this was a world where strength was paramount, so they felt that Anping's guess was plausible.

Anping had not mentioned Tang San's ten thousand year plan for the abyss or the existence of Tang Hao and A Yin, because he did not want to overwhelm them.

Le Zhengyu took a deep breath and said, "I don't know how you know so much secret information, or why you are so confident that you can help me become a god, but I have to admit that you convinced me."

Le Zhengyu knew that Anping's intention might not be simple, but the condition he offered was to help him become a god. That was the ultimate goal of all soul masters on Douluo Star.

Becoming a god meant not only greater strength, but also longer life. After learning about the grudge between Poseidon and their holy angel clan, he knew that if he wanted to become a god, he had no choice but to trust Anping's words.

However, neither Le Zhengyu nor Xu Xiaoyan expected Anping to remain silent after hearing his words, and just shake his head gently.

"What's wrong? Don't you believe me?" Le Zhengyu asked helplessly, and then thought for a moment before saying, "Right, I'm still a student of Shrek Academy. If you don't trust me, I can apply to drop out of the academy now."

Anping shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that I don't believe you. But you are the heir of the Holy Angel Clan. I think you should discuss this with your grandfather."

Anping's reminder surprised Le Zhengyu. He asked, "Are you sure you want me to tell my grandpa this?"

When he learned these secrets, Le Zhengyu's first reaction was whether he would be killed, but he realized that Anping and Gu Yuena had no reason to lure him in, tell him a bunch of secrets, and then kill him.

He thought that Anping and Gu Yuena would make him swear to keep the secrets. He never expected Anping to ask him to go back and tell his grandfather.

Anping nodded and said, "Of course, I trust your grandfather to make the right decision and not stop you from joining us."

After all, Le Zhengyu was only the heir, not the current leader of the clan, and he did not have the final say in the Holy Angel Clan. How could Le Zhengyu, who only had the cultivation of the Fourth Ring Soul Ancestor, be of any use to him now?

Besides, Le Zhengyu had said that his grandfather told him to stay away from Tang Wulin. Anping could tell that Le Zhengyu was not lying when he said that, so he dared to let Le Zhengyu tell his grandfather.

If Le Zhengyu's grandfather had agreed to let Le Zhengyu get close to Tang Wulin, Anping would have only told him about the grudge between their Holy Angel Clan and Tang San. He would not have revealed any more information or invited Le Zhengyu to join them.

Le Zhengyu did not know why Anping made such a judgment, but he knew his grandfather well enough to think that he would support his choice as Anping said.

But even without Anping's suggestion, he would have told his grandfather what happened today. He nodded slightly and said, "I've learned what I wanted to know, so I'll take my leave now."

It was only their first contact. Le Zhengyu had not found out what kind of organization Anping and Gu Yuena belonged to, nor had he asked about Anping's method of becoming a god. He bid farewell, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Seeing him about to leave, Anping put down his cup and said, "Alright, let's end it here for today. You should keep the content of our conversation a secret when you go back."

Ever since he learned the origin of his clan, Le Zhengyu had no real feelings about the feud between the Angel God and Tang San. It was his ancestor and his clan's faith, after all.

He could not say he hated Shrek now, but he had lost the respect he once had. Naturally, he would not blabber about what happened today. He nodded slightly to Anping and said, "I understand, goodbye."

After Le Zhengyu left, Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously, "Sister Nana, can you really help people become gods?"

Gu Yuena knew Xu Xiaoyan's little thoughts. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget you. You gave up the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy for us, even if it's to compensate you for your losses, I still want to help you become a god."

She was joking about the losses, but helping Xu Xiaoyan become a god was indeed part of Anping and Gu Yuena's plan.

Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Xu Xiaoyan ran directly to Gu Yuena, hugged her tightly, and said excitedly, "Thank you, Sister Nana."

Gu Yuena rubbed Xu Xiaoyan's head and said softly, "I think you should thank Anping. You mainly need his help to become a god."

"Thank you, Brother Anping." Xu Xiaoyan poked her head out with a sweet smile.

Becoming a god was something she had never dared to dream of before.

Anping smiled and nodded, "Although I said I can help you become a god, don't stop practicing hard because of this promise. And don't talk nonsense about what happened today outside."

"I know." Xu Xiaoyan nodded obediently, and decided to practice harder in the future.

On the other side, when Le Zhengyu returned, he ran into Wu Zhangkong coming out of Tang Wulin's room and greeted him, "Hello, Teacher Wu."

After that, he took out his key and was about to open the door and go back to his room. To his surprise, Wu Zhangkong, who usually kept to himself, asked him, "Tang Wulin told me that you left for something. What was it?"

Le Zhengyu was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "It was nothing. I was just curious about the big ship, since it was my first time seeing one. I went for a walk."

Wu Zhangkong's brow furrowed slightly. He had sensed that Le Zhengyu was troubled lately.

He had been in Tang Wulin's room just now because he wanted to know what was going on with Le Zhengyu, and he learned that it was because they met Anping, Gu Yuena, and Xu Xiaoyan in the restaurant.

Wu Zhangkong had no idea about the grudge between the Holy Angel Clan and Shrek Academy that Anping had mentioned, so he wanted to ask Le Zhengyu about it.

But now, Le Zhengyu had lost his confusion, as well as his liveliness and cheerfulness. Something had clearly happened to him after he got the key.

Wu Zhangkong did not buy Le Zhengyu's excuse of wandering around the boat. He guessed that it had something to do with Anping and Gu Yuena, based on the timing of Le Zhengyu's change.

But Yun Ming and Yali had warned them to avoid contact with those two before they left, so Wu Zhangkong hesitated for a moment.
