Another day of cultivation ended. At dinnertime, Huang Tian stepped into the bathroom to rinse off his sweat, and upon coming out, he saw that Xiao Wu was already dressed and ready.
He smiled and said:
"Let's skip the cafeteria tonight. I'm taking you to meet someone, and we'll have a big meal while we're at it."
"Who is it?"
"My teacher."
Xiao Wu didn't speak, merely nodding slightly to show her agreement.
Her mind, however, suddenly became active.
Huang Tian's first Soul Ring, which was completely different from the one in her dreams, must have a special reason behind it.
If it were truly an accident, that would be fine; at least the skill was decent, and the age could be improved through other means later.
What she feared most was the possibility that Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, or someone from the Clear Sky Sect had also received memories of the future and was intentionally sabotaging Huang Tian.
Fortunately, that seemed unlikely. The Blue Silver Saint Emperor Spear was leagues better than a pole vault; if someone were trying to sabotage him that way, they would have to be incredibly stupid.
As they walked, Xiao Wu probed for information, "What kind of person is your teacher? Are they fierce? Will they welcome me?"
She appeared worried, but in reality, she was gathering intelligence.
Knowing what the rabbit was thinking, Huang Tian gave her the key information directly.
"Don't worry, my teacher is a very good person, and a great beauty at that."
A great beauty? It seems nine times out of ten she is on our side.
But who could it be?
Rongrong and Zhuqing are too young, so that's impossible. As for the others, Bo Saixi can't leave Sea God Island, and Bibi Dong would likely just drag him off to Martial Soul Hall...
Damn, it wouldn't be Er Long, would it?
Notting City was not large, and the two of them jogged along, soon arriving at the manor.
The moment Huang Tian pushed open the door, a fragrant, soft figure rushed forward and threw herself into his arms.
"Brother, why are you only coming back now? Have you abandoned me?"
"How could that be? Na'er is the cutest, you will always be Brother's precious treasure."
Na'er was crying, her face streaked with tears, her voice filled with grievance.
Huang Tian had to comfort her quickly, reaching out to wipe the tears from her face.
Behind him, Xiao Wu was struck as if by lightning. Her eyes went wide, and two seconds later, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"This... is your teacher?"
So that's it. No wonder he could only attach a ten-year Soul Ring.
"Your head! Didn't you hear Na'er call me brother just now? What kind of comprehension is that?"
Huang Tian's face darkened, and he reached out to flick Xiao Wu on the forehead.
To mistake Na'er for his teacher—her imagination really knew no bounds.
Just then, the Beast God appeared slowly from the second doorway. His nonchalant expression vanished the moment he saw the rabbit, and he was so shocked he nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.
What is going on?
How long has this kid been out, and he's already managed to bring back a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?
Huang Tian ignored the potential psychological reactions of the others. After coaxing Na'er back into a smile, he introduced them to each other.
"Na'er, this is Xiao Wu, a new friend I made at the Soul Master Academy. She might be cultivating with us in the future."
"Xiao Wu, you've already heard Na'er's name. She is my teacher's younger sister, though I usually just call her sister as well. The one in front is Di Tian, the Vice Sect Master and Guardian Elder of our Peace Sect."
"Greetings, Elder Di Tian."
Xiao Wu bowed respectfully, understanding everything in an instant, leaving no room for doubt.
To have the Beast God serve as a deputy, the leader could only be that person, and she must have also received the memories of the future with one hundred percent certainty.
As for the issue of Huang Tian's Soul Ring, Gu Yue was a God King herself and could easily help him increase its age. Naturally, she would prioritize skill effects and attribute compatibility.
However, Xiao Wu hadn't expected that even with the Silver Dragon King acting personally, she would still choose to expend her power to split off Na'er.
In the original future, she dared to split because she thought she could take it back, but with the knowledge of the future, doing so now clearly meant she had no intention of reclaiming her.
This would undoubtedly make her already incomplete recovery even worse.
Neither Gu Yue nor Di Tian needed to eat, so only Huang Tian, Na'er, and Xiao Wu feasted.
The food had been delivered from a restaurant and was quite good, appealing to both the eyes and the palate—at the very least, it was much better than the academy cafeteria.
At the dinner table, Xiao Wu twice intentionally revealed flaws, mentioning information that only someone from the future would know but that wouldn't seem too abrupt in the present, leading Gu Yue to secretly mark her as one of their own.
Having finished their meal, the two immediately sought an opportunity to be alone and conspire.
Up in the attic of the central courtyard, the rabbit gently closed the door, turned around, and looked at Gu Yue, who was just about to say something, her voice sounding mischievous:
"Little Thirty-Six, hurry up and call me Big Sister so I can hear it? It's been so long since I've heard it; it really makes one nostalgic."
Thirty-Six was the ranking order of when Gu Yue had officially joined someone's side in her past life, and it was one of the few things she felt insecure about.
When the sisters were on good terms, she would respectfully call her Sister Yue'er, but whenever there was a falling out with anyone, this number would be thrown out instantly, guaranteed to deal tons of critical damage.
As the angel investor who had resolutely followed him since Nuoding Academy, Xiao Wu naturally ranked first; she was often smug about this and was the one among the group who called out "Thirty-Six" the most.
She had expected Gu Yue to be extremely stifled, but unexpectedly, as soon as the words left her lips, she saw a brilliant smile bloom on that devastatingly beautiful face.
"This time, I am the Big Sister, Na'er is the Second Sister, and you, at most, can only be aggrieved to be the Fourth Sister."
"What? Wait, that's not right, is it?"
"What's not right about it? I arrived two months ago, and Na'er followed right after."
Gu Yue's smile grew increasingly unrestrained.
Xiao Wu frowned tightly, her face showing confusion.
"Even so, I should still be ranked third, right?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Xiao Tian's first Soul Ring is the Blue Silver Emperor; if she can be resurrected in the future, she ranks third."
Upon hearing the words "Blue Silver Emperor,"
The rabbit's expression froze instantly, and two seconds later, her shoulders began to shake uncontrollably.
"Tang San's mother?
No, you guys... this is just too wicked, isn't it? Is this how you do things? Wouldn't Tang San and Tang Hao be furious if they found out?
Haha, I can't take it, I was just saying how could an ordinary ten-year Soul Ring produce a skill of that intensity.
Tang San even got beaten up by the Blue Silver Saint Emperor Spear, hahaha.
However, this is indeed the most suitable Soul Ring for the Blue Silver Saint Emperor in the early stages, and it will allow for research into Soul Spirits ahead of time.
Well done."
Gu Yue also smiled slightly, "A ten-year Soul Ring? No, no, no, I used the Gold of Life to strengthen the Blue Silver Emperor to a thousand-year level; Xiao Tian now has a thousand-year first Soul Ring.
To bring the Soul Spirit into existence as quickly as possible, I specifically took action to protect Ah Yin's soul, keeping it in a state of recovery. It can control many things, so changing the color is just a minor trick.
He deliberately displayed it as white; he was just fooling you all."
"So that's how it is."
The two exchanged information for a long time, from verifying many messages from their dreams to planning for the future.
In the end, Gu Yue even taught Xiao Wu a higher-order meditation technique, which could not only cultivate soul power but also had a certain boosting effect on mental strength.
