Gu Yue: It's Over, I've Been Exposed

Huo Yuhao only learned of the fall of the Light and Darkness Douluo Long Yeyue, several days later.

When the message arrived, he was sitting in his office reviewing a report on the construction progress of the Spirit Pagoda Pagoda's Branch Tower. Upon hearing it, he only paused slightly, showing little emotional fluctuation.

He certainly didn't have a good impression of this Shrek Elder.

When he resonated with the Golden Tree, it was she who suggested forcing him to stay at the Shrek Academy. Huo Yuhao still vividly remembers that condescending "for your own good" attitude.

Shortly after, he stood up and walked out of the office.

On the 101st floor of the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao had just stepped outside the door of Cultivation Room number nine when the heavy metal door slid open automatically to both sides.

Gu Yue, with her black hair, stood behind the door, blinking her bright purple eyes at him. She had clearly sensed his approach beforehand and asked, "Why are you here?"

Huo Yuhao sensed the aura around her that hadn't been completely concealed, and a smile curved his lips, "Looks like you're about to break through to the Titled Douluo level too?"

Gu Yue smiled and nodded, not denying it. "Soon."

Huo Yuhao then changed the subject slightly, his tone becoming concerned. "Something happened at the Shrek Academy, how is Na'er?"

Mentioning Na'er, Gu Yue's smile faded, and she said, "She's fine."

Although she said that, she knew very well that Na'er was actually very irritable lately.

Her frustration stemmed from the fact that Shrek was finished, but that didn't necessarily mean she had any deep feelings for the Shrek Academy.

What really upset her was that her plans had completely fallen through.

If Shrek Academy fails to rise, what value does she, the "restoration leader" promoted by Long Yeyue, still possess?

Moreover, the Spirit Pagoda is currently at its zenith, while Shrek Academy has fallen into decline. Doesn't all of this indirectly prove that Na'er has ultimately lost to Gu Yue?

However, Gu Yue naturally wouldn't say these things to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao didn't notice the complex emotion that flashed across her eyes, and simply asked, "What are Na'er's plans for the future? After all, rebuilding Shrek is probably impossible now."

Gu Yue remained silent for a few moments, then finally shook her head. "We don't know what she's thinking yet."

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, then said, "Why don't we let her come to the Spirit Pagoda?"

Gu Yue wasn't surprised. Huo Yuhao was now the Tower Master, and he could easily decide such a small matter with a single word.

But she shook her head. "I can ask, but Na'er might not agree."

Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious. "Let her come. After all, it's better for you two to be together."

Gu Yue was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, her gaze lingering on Huo Yuhao's face for a moment, a strange light appearing in her eyes.

After a moment, she slowly spoke, asking, "What... do you mean by that?"

Huo Yuhao had anticipated Gu Yue's expression and casually said, "Are you sure you want to say this here? You are one."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's purple eyes narrowed slightly.

She looked at Huo Yuhao, as if trying to determine whether his words were just a casual remark or something more.

A moment later, she realized that Huo Yuhao must have found out something.

She didn't rush to deny it, nor did she rush to admit it; she simply remained silent for a moment.

The Divine Power of the Spirit Domain Realm silently swept across the surroundings, confirming that no one was paying attention to them.

Only then did she say, "Let's talk in your office."

The two walked through the corridor, entered the elevator, and finally pushed open the door to Huo Yuhao's office.

The door closed behind me with a soft sound.

The two sat facing each other across the large desk, neither speaking first, a subtle and heavy atmosphere filling the air.

Sunlight streamed in obliquely through the floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a bright dividing line on the table between the two people.

In the end, it was Gu Yue who broke the silence first.

Her voice was a few decibels lower than before as she said, "What did you mean when you said we were one?"

Looking at her expression, Huo Yuhao's smile didn't fade, but his tone became more serious. "At this point, there's no need to hide anything anymore, right?"

"You and Na'er are originally one person, or I shouldn't call you Gu Yue, but Gu Yuena, or... Silver Dragon King!"

Upon hearing this long-unheard name, Gu Yue's expression finally showed a genuine change, and she was completely certain that she had been exposed in front of Huo Yuhao.

She remained silent for a while, as if she were chewing over the name in her mind.

Then she slowly asked, "How did you find out?"

Seeing Gu Yue's serious and tense expression, Huo Yuhao almost couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

He cleared his throat, composed himself, and slowly said, "At first, when I saw that your appearance after merging with Na'er was almost exactly the same as that of the Silver Dragon King from ten thousand years ago, my first thought was indeed that you were her daughters."

"But after thinking about it carefully, I felt something wasn't quite right."

He leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on Gu Yue's face. "First of all, they look too alike. Even if a mother and daughter resemble each other, they shouldn't look this alike."

"Moreover, Martial Soul Fusion Skill requires a continuous and rapid depletion of the two people's Soul Power, but you and Na'er maintained that state for more than a month, which far exceeds the limit of any known Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Gu Yue didn't speak, but listened quietly.

When it comes to research on Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Huo Yuhao's teacher, Electrolux, is undoubtedly the best.

After all, Huo Yuhao's teacher was the one who helped him research the Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and his understanding of Martial Soul Fusion Skill far surpassed that of the other Soul Master on the continent.

Therefore, after Electrolux's reminder, Huo Yuhao knew that the fusion of Gu Yue and Na'er was definitely not as simple as Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, the chemistry between you and Na'er is sometimes truly astonishing."

"I hadn't paid much attention before, but too many coincidences combined made me have to think in a certain direction."

He leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice, and chuckled, "Of course, the most important thing is that ten thousand years ago I went to the Star Dou and met the Silver Dragon King of that world."

"Through my subtle questioning, I managed to extract quite a bit of information, which finally confirmed that you and Na'er are one entity, and that your combined form is the Silver Dragon King."

The office was quiet for a moment. Gu Yue sat opposite Huo Yuhao, her purple eyes calmly meeting his gaze, as if she were processing his words or confirming how much he actually knew.
