Chapter 1791: Humble Love (Please Subscribe)_1
Soul Beast Legion!
Surrounded by a circle, the ferocious beasts sat together, discussing something…
One ferocious beast spoke up, "Boss, our master hasn't contacted us for quite some time. Should we take the initiative to contact her?"
Another ferocious beast echoed, "Yes, I'm also worried about our master. She hasn't revealed her whereabouts for about a year!"
Bi Ji nodded slightly, "Di Tian, I also think we should contact our master! And at the same time, inquire about how our Soul Beast Legion should develop next!"
The number of soul masters in the current Soul Beast Legion had nearly reached saturation, and their development was extremely slow!
Sitting in the chief seat, Di Tian's face first showed a hint of hesitation, but then he decided to agree, "Hmm!"
He then dialed Gu Yue's communication device…
It must be said that in their interactions with human soul masters, they had gradually started to adapt…
Whether it was soul tools, communication devices, or even mechas, they were all able to use them adeptly!
Especially Bi Ji, who, despite not being highly ranked, had become a Soul Master, having studied the knowledge of soul tools while possessing strong power.
A few seconds later, an ethereal female voice came through, "Di Tian, is there something you need to report?"
It was indeed Gu Yue!
Di Tian explained, "Master, you haven't initiated contact with us for about a year, and everyone is very concerned about your safety!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue was first taken aback, then, with a hint of apology, she said, "Sorry, everyone, for making you worry!"
For becoming the Spirit Pagoda's master, she had devoted herself entirely to the management of the Spirit Pagoda in this period!
She had almost forgotten about the Soul Beast Legion established by Di Tian and the others!
Hearing this, the other ferocious beasts hastily objected, "Master, there's no need for you to apologize!"
There was a sense of relief in Gu Yue's tone, "Anyway, I've still made everyone worry! Also, I am currently working at the Spirit Pagoda!"
Bi Ji voiced her confusion, "Working at the Spirit Pagoda? Master, do you have some other plans?"
That their Soul Beast Clan had become like this was largely due to the Spirit Pagoda!
Yet Gu Yue had actually taken the initiative to join the Spirit Pagoda, which they found somewhat incomprehensible!
Gu Yue chose not to conceal the truth, and seriously replied, "Yes! If things go as planned, I should be the next master of the Spirit Pagoda!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the ferocious beasts' eyes widened, showing a look of disbelief…
Di Tian alone praised, "Worthy of being our master, to be able to thrive so well alone in the Spirit Pagoda!"
He would never doubt Gu Yue's words!
Bi Ji's tone was excited, "Once our master becomes the master of the Spirit Pagoda, it means the Soul Beast Legion can officially join the Spirit Pagoda, and perhaps, the entire Soul Beast Clan can continue on!"
It's well-known that the reproductive capacity of soul beasts was strong; as long as they had not been completely eradicated, they could recover over a long period!
Gu Yue nodded, "Hmm, that's exactly what I was thinking, which is why I've devoted myself to the Spirit Pagoda recently!"
Di Tian's golden eyes twinkled, "In that case, master, you can focus on your position at the Spirit Pagoda. The Soul Beast Legion will be fine with Bi Ji and me for the short term!"
"Hmm, then I'll leave the Soul Beast Legion in your care, just maintain the status quo! Contact me if you run into any troublesome matters!"
…
After ending the call, a voice belonging to Leng Yaozhu resounded behind Gu Yue…
"Gu Yue, who were you just talking to?"
Gu Yue turned around, her expression unchanged as she looked at Leng Yaozhu, "Just touching base with some comrades! And, Pagoda Master, could you please knock before entering next time?"
It was fortunate she had disconnected the call the moment she sensed the other person's presence, or she might have exposed everything!
Leng Yaozhu gave a faint smile, "Good! For sure, next time!"
Yet, Gu Yue keenly detected the sadness hidden beneath that smile…
Gu Yue tentatively asked, "Pagoda Master, you seem a bit unwell? Was there an unpleasant encounter with the Elders of Shrek Academy?"
It was her first time seeing that expression on her!
Leng Yaozhu shook her head, speaking to herself, "No, it's just that someone very important to me has left this world!"
With his strength, he could have easily survived the bombardment of a Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell!
Yet, to protect not only Shrek Academy but also Shrek City, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself!
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes sharpened, as if she had come to a realization, "Are you referring to… the Pavilion Master?"
When she returned to the academy, she had been informed by Turbid World of the Pavilion Master's demise!
And connecting that to Leng Yaozhu's state, it was not hard to guess!
Leng Yaozhu looked at Gu Yue in surprise and noncommittally said, "It seems the Elders of Shrek Academy have told you the details. Yes, it's the Sea God Pavilion Master, Yun Ming!"
She never concealed her love for Yun Ming, no matter the occasion!
Gu Yue frowned, "But isn't the Pavilion Master's wife the Saint Soul Douluo?"
Leng Yaozhu gave a bitter smile, "That's right! But that was Yun Ming's choice after all."
Having said that, she began to speak of her and Yun Ming's past memories like reminiscing...
She even divulged some secrets!
Some of which completely shattered Gu Yue's worldview!
For example, Leng Yaozhu, known as the Sky Phoenix Douluo, was actually willing to be Yun Ming's mistress!!
Gu Yue said with a complex expression, "Pagoda Master, what you've said is indeed somewhat hard to accept!"
Leng Yaozhu then lifted her gaze to look at Gu Yue, "What? After hearing all this, do you think I'm shameless?"
Indeed, being able to admit to being a mistress to a married man could surely be seen as shameless!
But Gu Yue showed no contempt at all, but instead said word by word, "No... I think you were just pursuing your own love!"
"Gu Yue, thank you for your consolation, but he… has truly left me forever!"
In that moment, the faint smile on Leng Yaozhu's face could no longer be maintained, as tears incessantly fell from the corners of her eyes...
The strength she showed in front of others was nothing but the dignity of the Spirit Pagoda's master!
Seeing this, Gu Yue was suddenly at a loss!
She could never have imagined Leng Yaozhu crying!!
And she deeply knew the latter's humble love for Yun Ming had clearly etched itself into her very bones...
Naturally, she didn't choose to comfort her, but just stood silently beside her, listening...
After Leng Yaozhu had sobbed for a good ten minutes or more, her sadness gradually subsided…
Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she took a deep breath and mustered all her strength to put on a charming smile, "Gu Yue, thank you for listening to me till the end!"
