On the other side, Gu Yue had already arrived at the door of the resting room, and with a "crack," she pushed open the door and entered…
As the Pagoda Master, Leng Yaozhu was leisurely sitting on the sofa at this moment, sipping a cup of tea…
When she saw who it was, a few traces of surprise appeared on her cheeks, "Gu Yue, welcome back, sooner than I had anticipated!"
She had thought that the former would return to Shrek Academy first!
Gu Yue walked over and sat opposite Leng Yaozhu, replying, "There isn't anything important to do back at Shrek Academy, so I decided to return here first!"
Leng Yaozhu didn't speak, but it was clear that she was very satisfied with the former's attitude!
This signified that in Gu Yue's heart, the Spirit Pagoda held more weight than Shrek Academy!
Gu Yue then glanced around and asked, "Pagoda Master, have you really removed the position of Vice Tower Master?"
Leng Yaozhu pursed her thin lips, "Mm, it was Qiangu Qingfeng who proposed this himself. With his personality, even if I were to retain him multiple times, it would not change his decision!"
"Because of this, the Council Members of the Spirit Pagoda probably all think that I am afraid of Qiangu Qingfeng's power surpassing my own, so I removed the position of Vice Tower Master!"
Does she appear to be someone who cares about the power within the Spirit Pagoda?
After staring for a few seconds, Gu Yue said confidently, "Pagoda Master, I believe in you. You are not that kind of person!"
The former would be only too eager to immediately assume the role of the Spirit Pagoda's master!
Leng Yaozhu suddenly smiled, "Your words are enough for me. But you also need to grow quickly. The position of Spirit Pagoda's master is indeed too boring!"
Every day stuck inside the pagoda, with no time for free movement!
Gu Yue nodded slightly, "I will as soon as possible!!"
Leng Yaozhu added, "Furthermore, if you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, you can bring them up. As long as it is something I can do!"
A touch of emotion swept through Gu Yue's eyes, "Thank you, Pagoda Master!"
Leng Yaozhu waved her hand, "No need to thank me. After all, I already consider you as my own daughter... Eh, it seems, I shouldn't speak out these thoughts, should I?"
As she uttered the last sentence, she clearly felt that Gu Yue's expression had turned slightly awkward...
But soon, the latter regained her composure and said earnestly, "Pagoda Master, let's not talk about this. How is our Spirit Pagoda's relationship with that newly established legion?"
She remembered that a long time ago, she had had contact with the Soul Beast Legion and the Spirit Pagoda!
Leng Yaozhu propped up her fair chin, pondering, "Hmm... let me think, ever since that legion bought a large batch of Spirit Souls, our relationship has been quite good, and there hasn't been any sign of deliberate overtures, which rules out any targeted closeness!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I see..."
Seeming to detect Gu Yue's emotions, Leng Yaozhu asked with suspicion, "Gu Yue, why do I feel like you are very concerned about this legion? Do you have any connection with them?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's heart suddenly tightened...
She hadn't expected the former's intuition to be so sharp!
Since it had been noticed, Gu Yue didn't hide it, stating word by word, "Pagoda Master, this legion and I indeed have some connections!"
"The reason for buying such a large batch of Spirit Souls was actually to join the Spirit Pagoda!"
Gu Yue had expected Leng Yaozhu to get angry, but to her surprise, she spoke with a smile, "I see, Gu Yue, you should have said so earlier. The Spirit Pagoda welcomes such a large force to join!"
Now, it was Gu Yue's turn to be stunned...
She swallowed hard, "Pagoda Master, you don't object?"
Leng Yaozhu shrugged her shoulders, "Why would I object? With the addition of thousands of Soul Masters and a few Ultimate Douluos, the Spirit Pagoda will definitely thrive. There is no doubt it's a good thing!"
If it were someone else, there might be concerns about other motives, but if it were Gu Yue, they deserved complete trust!
After all, she would be the next master of the Spirit Pagoda!
There was a pause before she added, "If Gu Yue, you can convince that legion, even if they join the Spirit Pagoda now, I have no objections!"
Gu Yue's Beautiful Eyes flickered for a moment, as if she had made a decision...
...
The Soul Beast Legion!
Only to see Di Tian's golden pupils brighten, he said seriously, "The master has sent a message, commanding us to lead the entire legion to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters!"
The other ferocious beasts showed a puzzled look upon hearing this...
"What are we going to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters for? Even if we're buying Spirit Souls, it shouldn't require so many Soul Masters, right?"
"Yes, just like last time, sending Bi Ji would be sufficient and wouldn't reveal our intentions!"
"Don't speculate on the master's thoughts; if she has commanded us to lead the legion there, she must have her reasons," one said cautiously.
Bi Ji frowned and pressed, "Di Tian, besides this, did the master say anything else?"
Di Tian took a deep breath and calmly said, "Actually, the reason the master has commanded us to lead the legion to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters seems to be that she has persuaded the master of the Spirit Pagoda, agreeing to let us join!"
Bi Ji's Beautiful Eyes showed a hint of chill, "Could the master have been deceived? Ever since we purchased those Spirit Souls, our legion's relationship with the Spirit Pagoda has been lukewarm; anyone would suspect that there's another motive!"
Di Tian shook his head, denying, "No... Perhaps we've underestimated the relationship between our master and the master of the Spirit Pagoda!"
"Perhaps... there was never any need to plan for so long to join the Spirit Pagoda!"
Bi Ji pursed her lips, "Then Di Tian, what do you plan to do?"
Di Tian gave her a look, "Do as the master said, join the Spirit Pagoda!"
Bi Ji hesitated for a moment, "I have no objections, but leading the entire legion might draw suspicions from other forces..."
At this, the other ferocious beasts began to sneer...
"What's there to fear? Could it be that other forces would dare to act against us?"
"Once the Spirit Pagoda merges with our Soul Beast Legion, we can be considered the number one power on the Soul Land Continent; who would dare to oppose us!"
"Exactly, Bi Ji, perhaps your courage is just too little!"
Bi Ji rolled her eyes, somewhat unsure how to respond...
It seems there was indeed a particular reason why the Soul Beast Clan faced extinction!
The petty tricks of humans were not as simple as those of soul beasts! The slightest carelessness could lead to falling into an abyss!
Di Tian naturally understood her thoughts and soothed, "Bi Ji, I know what you're worried about, but right now, this is the best opportunity!"
Once part of the Spirit Pagoda, with the support of the Pagoda Master and her own people, the master could firmly secure the position of the Pagoda Master!
Bi Ji sighed, her eyes gradually becoming resolute, "Fine, I'll inform the legion now and have them set off for the Spirit Pagoda headquarters!"
Hopefully, the decision the master has made this time is the right one!
The Soul Beast Clan can no longer afford to take any more blows!
