Du Busi's Goodwill (Seeking Recommendation Tickets, Seeking Follow-up Reads)

In the western suburbs of Tiandou City, starting from the West Gate and heading straight forward, Ye Que and his party caught sight of the formidable Body Sect, its magnificent main hall and plaza, and the disciples of the Body Sect visible everywhere.

Although the number of people was somewhat small, totaling only a few dozen, this served as side evidence of just how rare Body Martial Souls truly are.

A Body Martial Soul is the only existence without an upper limit that can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with top-tier Martial Souls.

If they were to develop for another few hundred thousand years, Ye Que suspected that the people of the Body Sect might even be able to cultivate into immortals, completely shedding the profession of Soul Master.

The architecture of this Body Sect possessed quite a bit of the style from the Martial Soul Hall of ten thousand years ago, all of it incredibly grand and glorious.

Yu Mengdi, standing to the side, also scanned the surrounding buildings, a trace of astonishment appearing on her face.

This Body Sect was truly worthy of its reputation, a well-deserved number one sect on the continent.

However, compared to the Martial Soul Hall, it was still lacking by quite a margin.

No force could ever replace the position of the Martial Soul Hall in the hearts of Angel Clan Soul Masters.

At this moment, seeing this situation, Vina walked along while introducing the origins, development, and current Title Douluo powerhouses of the Body Sect to the people from Zhengtian Academy, showcasing the strength of the sect.

The gold content of a nation-protecting sect is extremely high, with its number of Title Douluos even far exceeding that of Shrek Academy.

Long Aotian, following behind Vina, felt particularly proud.

As a member of the Body Sect and the personal disciple of the Sect Master, this was the honor of his life.

And he was also the number one person of the contemporary Body Sect.

Just then, the passing Body Sect disciples saw Princess Vina and Senior Brother Long Aotian, and one by one they cupped their hands in a bow, shouting, "Greetings, Princess; greetings, Senior Brother Long."

With this, Long Aotian's prestige was completely maxed out.

A smile played on the corners of Long Aotian's mouth as he said, "Low profile, low profile. In the future, address me by my title when we meet."

Ye Que turned his head to look at Long Aotian and laughed, "Brother Long is truly worthy of being the leading figure of the Body Sect. I think you and Princess Vina are quite a match."

Vina's pretty face flushed red upon hearing this.

Although she had long since given her heart to Long Aotian, she had always prioritized the nation, putting the affairs of the heart aside.

After being prompted by Ye Que, she couldn't help but recall some past events.

Being flattered like this, Long Aotian's mouth stretched to his ears. He reached out and patted Ye Que on the shoulder, saying, "Hahaha, Brother Ye, do not mock me. You are also a true heaven-gifted prodigy. Only when I obtain a title from the Empire will I be a match for the Princess; right now, I am the one climbing high to reach her."

"Let me tell you in advance, Brother Ye: after I reported your righteous act of helping others to His Majesty and the Sect Master yesterday, His Majesty was very satisfied with you all. The Sect Master, in particular, wants to see you; he should be waiting in the main hall now."

For some reason, Long Aotian suddenly felt a burst of goodwill toward Ye Que, believing this to be a young man worth befriending.

His relationship with Princess Vina was excellent, but it had never been openly expressed.

Yet, with Ye Que saying that, and the Princess not refuting it, it meant there was an eight-out-of-ten chance of success.

What "remnant of the Martial Soul Hall"? This man was a matchmaker tying the red thread for them.

Upon hearing that Du Busi wanted to see him, Ye Que felt slightly nervous.

That was a level 98 Super Douluo, one of the few peak powerhouses on the continent. If he were to turn hostile, there would be no chance of escape.

Thinking this, Ye Que silently channeled his soul power into the Soul Tool gifted by Guangyu Douluo, and smiling, he entered the Sect Master's main hall together with Long Aotian and the others.

Before long, Long Aotian, Ye Que, and the others arrived at the main hall.

Above the hall, an old man with green hair was drinking tea. Seeing Aotian and Vina arrive, he slowly set down his teacup and shifted his gaze toward Ye Que and the others.

With just a simple glance, goosebumps rose all over Ye Que's body.

What terrifying spiritual power and pressure.

The Body Douluo was actually this powerful; even his physical body carried a sense of oppression.

Ye Que immediately bowed and said, "Junior Ye Que pays his respects to Senior Du Busi."

Ye Wuqing and the others also hurriedly cupped their hands in a bow.

Long Aotian bowed and said, "Sect Master, this is the young hero I told you about."

Du Busi first gave an "Hmm," then stood up and came before the group, revealing a kind smile. He raised his hand and patted Ye Que on the shoulder, laughing loudly:

"Good, good, good! So you are the lad. This old man really didn't misjudge you. To think you, child, actually possess that Martial Soul—I never expected that I would have the chance to see their descendants."

"I have heard about you suppressing Dai Yueheng with five-ring strength; you are indeed a genius youth."

"Although I do not stand on the same side as the commoners, I deeply love the subjects of the Heaven Dou Empire. As long as you deal with the people of Shrek reasonably, you are a friend of this old man. In the future, if you cause trouble outside, report the name of Du Busi. I want to see who, besides Mu En, dares to do you harm."

"As for the so-called remnants, I represent His Majesty in conveying a message to you: the Heaven Dou Empire is willing to provide shelter, provided that you take action when the Empire is in crisis. For this, His Majesty is willing to provide a large amount of cultivation resources."

This kindness came so suddenly that Ye Que was somewhat at a loss.

To think that this old fogey Du Busi was so easy to talk to.

However, considering that Du Busi's elder brother, Du Bisi, had fallen after a great battle with Mu En, it was reasonable for Du Busi to hate Shrek so much.

As for the protection, one could not take it all at face value; this was at most a senior who held no malice toward the Angel Clan.

Thinking of this, Ye Que cupped his hands in a salute and said, "I appreciate the senior's kindness, but I simply cannot stand the way certain people from Shrek do things; I am not intentionally targeting them."

Du Busi nodded with a smile and said, "You're right, lad. Those bastards are just used to being arrogant and domineering; their spirit must be curbed."

"Alright, since you have arrived at the Body Sect, this old man shall take you around for a look."

With that, he personally walked out of the great hall, intending to broaden the horizons of the younger generation and showcase the might of the Body Sect, with Ye Que and the others following closely behind.

As Du Busi walked, he boasted about the Body Sect, while Ye Que offered flattery from right behind him.

No matter how much Du Busi exaggerated, Ye Que would offer up praise, coaxing the old man until he was as happy as a child.

Du Busi was delighted, laughing until he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

This lad Ye Que suited his tastes perfectly; he was a fine junior.

He knew his boundaries and understood reason; sooner or later, he would surely grow into his potential.

The remnant that Shrek viewed as a scourge was, in his eyes, a fine ally. As long as he waited for Ye Que to mature, the Empire would gain another Angel Douluo, and Aotian would have one more friend when he eventually succeeded as Sect Master—why wouldn't he be happy about that?

The enemy of the Sun Moon Empire, the thorn in Shrek's side, and the bane of the Evil Soul Masters—that was a friend of the Body Sect.

That brainless old thing Mu En was truly becoming more foolish the longer he lived.

Several hours later, the tour of the Body Sect was nearing its end.

Seeing that it was time for a meal, Du Busi spoke up: "Little friend Ye Que, why don't you and Aotian go have breakfast first? Come find this old man again in the afternoon, and I shall offer you some guidance."

There was no helping it; he had been flattered so thoroughly by this junior that Du Busi felt he would be doing the boy a disservice if he didn't offer some instruction.

This lad was simply too sensible.

He was thoroughly satisfied!

The only regret was that Ye Que did not possess a Body Martial Soul; otherwise, Du Busi would certainly have taken him on as a closed-door disciple to cultivate properly.
