Heaven Dou Federal Parliament

After tactfully concealing some things from Zhen Hua and answering all sorts of questions about his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Blood Essence Soul Ring, Gu You finally left in high spirits.

As for why he was so pleased? There were plenty of reasons. He had obtained top-grade Life Ore, as well as one of Zhen Hua's notebooks. It looked rather worn, and who knew when it had been written. Flipping through it gave off a profound sense of age. Every page was densely packed with words, and the most valuable part was undoubtedly the insights on Heavenly Forging. Any single word from it would fetch an astronomical price at auction, let alone an entire notebook!

Just before leaving, Gu You even heard Zhen Hua utter two words: "Awesome!"

"Fire Spirit Ore, forging... it can be heated by infusing Soul Power into it, without needing to be smelted in a forge..." Gu You read through the notes Zhen Hua had given him as he walked. There was indeed a great deal of useful knowledge in them. If he studied them carefully in the future, Spirit Forging other ores would become much easier.

Ding! Ding! Ding!!

His phone rang. Puzzled, Gu You put the notebook into his Soul Guide Ring and opened his phone, only to see a string of unfamiliar numbers.

"Would the Douluo World have scam calls too?" Gu You muttered, pursing his lips. After thinking it over, he answered anyway.

A burst of noisy electronic static came through.

"Hello." The voice was clear and pleasant, making Gu You feel comfortable listening to it. The caller sounded fairly young.

"You?" Gu You was stunned. He had only just gotten his Soul Guide Communication number set up. Aside from entering Zhen Hua's number, he had not given it to anyone else! How had this person found him? And judging by the voice, it even sounded like they knew him well. What was going on? Had his social circle already spread across every river and sea?

"Kid, do you remember the person who gave you a business card after your Martial Soul awakened?"

Chen Shilin!!

How could Gu You forget? The Heaven Dou City councilman, the good man who had indirectly helped him get to Shrek.

"Councilman, it's been a long time." Gu You spoke respectfully. No matter what, anyone who had helped him deserved his respect. But if they tried to harm him, then they should not blame him for being ruthless.

"Haha! Don't call me Councilman or anything like that. I don't really like those titles. Just call me Brother Chen. We're about the right age for it anyway."

"Mm, Brother Chen, what is it?" Gu You's expression turned solemn. He then searched through his Soul Guide Communication device and found the business card Chen Shilin had given him when he was six. Chen Shilin looking for him... probably was not a good thing.

"There's no point explaining this briefly. Could you spare some time to come to the Heaven Dou Federal Parliament?" The voice on the other end paused before continuing.

"Of course, no problem. I'll catch a car over right away," Gu You quickly agreed.

"Good, thank you. There's no need to rush so much; coming a little later is fine too. I just want to talk to you alone about a few things."

The call ended. The voice had sounded gentle enough, but Gu You still felt that something was off. Then again, he had not done anything wrong, so what was there to fear?

The more guilty one felt at times like this, the more flaws one would reveal...

One more thing: I read all your comments, and I have corrected the typos you pointed out. I will also make occasional minor revisions to the chapters.
