Where Does the Hostility Come From

Watching Ya Li's furrowed, worried expression, Yun Ming reassured her, "No need to worry! Elder Jin said that both Qianzhao and Qianyue are people who can bring hope to the nature of this entire plane!"

Hearing this, Ya Li breathed a sigh of relief. "That goes without saying! Your disciples are naturally capable of bringing hope to the world!"

"Where is Yue'er? I have some matters to discuss with her," Yun Ming asked again.

Ya Li informed Yun Ming of Cai Yue'er's current location. After Yun Ming left, she remained full of confusion. By the time she entered the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Jin had already returned to the Golden Tree, leaving no trace behind.

In the Forging District, Tang Wulin completed a Spirit Forged Alloy in front of everyone!

This Spirit Forging was more powerful than any he had performed in the past! Tang Wulin's clothes were soaked with sweat, his internal soul power was completely exhausted, and even his Bloodline Power appeared withered and sluggish.

"Two Junior Uncles, would you take a look at my forging?"

Tang Wulin handed the freshly forged Spirit Forged Alloy to the three of them, his face brimming with confidence! He had always been full of confidence in his forging techniques; he believed that among his peers, few blacksmiths could surpass his level.

His forging was special!

During the process, he could imbue the alloy with the might of the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline Power!

And this piece of Spirit Forged Alloy was his peak work to date!

It was the first time The Twins had seen Tang Wulin forge. Compared to the majestic aura of communicating with heaven and earth that Zhen Hua displayed when forging, Tang Wulin's forging appeared much calmer. Yet, even so, the way that surging bloodline power injected dragon might into the Spirit Forging was filled with a strange brilliance.

The power of the dragon had always belonged at the pinnacle of this plane.

The Twins looked at the alloy before them. Having spent years following Zhen Hua to experiment with various Heavenly Forging alloys, they already possessed discerning eyes and could naturally see that the quality of this Spirit Forged Alloy was top-tier!

"Very good."

Yun Qianyue gave an objective evaluation.

Tang Wulin smiled upon hearing this, then lowered his voice: "I wonder if I might trouble the two Junior Uncles to help me perform a secondary quenching on this Spirit Forged Alloy?"

When he said this, the gazes of both Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue fell upon his face. They stared into his eyes for a long time before asking, "Did you hear this from Senior Zhen Hua?"

"Yes," Tang Wulin did not hide it.

Yun Qianyue shook her head and said, "Sorry, I refuse!"

Her refusal caught Tang Wulin off guard. He frowned, but he did not press for the reason. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, "My apologies, it was my presumption. Please, two Junior Uncles, do not take offense!"

Tang Wulin's humility and courtesy made The Twins look at him with a bit more interest.

Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan were already waiting impatiently in the back to speak with The Twins, while only Gu Yue kept a cold face.

Under the persistent pursuit of the two, Yun Qianyue finally agreed to exchange contact information with Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan also successfully scheduled a time with Yun Qianzhao.

After The Twins returned to Sea God Island, Xu Xiaoyan remained immersed in the joy of Yun Qianzhao agreeing to guide her cultivation. Gu Yue glanced at her and said, "It's just an agreement to teach you cultivation, what are you giggling about?"

Xu Xiaoyan chuckled and said, "Don't you think that if I work harder, Uncle Yun might teach me indefinitely? And then, just..."

"I don't think so."

Gu Yue shook her head. She looked at Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie, warning them: "They seem to have always held a sense of distant hostility toward us. You two should be careful."

"Hostility? No way, right?"

Xie Xie frowned. He recalled their interactions with The Twins. Aside from the initial assessment where both sides fought fiercely due to their conflicting positions, they hadn't seen much of each other before or after that. Where would this hostility come from?

Watching Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan's skeptical expressions, Gu Yue added, "Believe it or not, it's up to you! I've said my piece. They are not ordinary; don't get close to them casually."

Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yue, frowning as he asked, "Gu Yue, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Yue looked at him, her brows knitting together: "Nothing is wrong."

"Then why do you seem so hostile toward them!" Tang Wulin was full of confusion. "If it's because the Junior Uncles didn't go easy on us during the assessment, I don't think that's necessary! After all, it was an assessment; it was only right for them to be serious and diligent."

"You..."

After hearing Tang Wulin say this, Gu Yue raised a finger to point at him, then let out a heavy sigh and said, "Suit yourself!"

Having dropped those words, Gu Yue flicked her sleeves and left.

Seeing Gu Yue depart, Xie Xie hurriedly said, "Boss, you made her angry, go after her!"

Tang Wulin watched Gu Yue leave, standing in place for a long time before shaking his head: "No... let her calm down first. I always feel like she's being a bit stubborn regarding the two Junior Uncles."

Xu Xiaoyan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Sister Yue really seems to have a sense of hostility toward Uncle Yun."

Tang Wulin put away the Spirit Forged Alloy. Although he hadn't managed to get The Twins to help with the secondary quenching, the quality of this piece was so high that it could already be used as a component for his first set of One-Word Battle Armor.

The production time for Battle Armor was long; even as a blacksmith, Tang Wulin had to start accumulating materials now to ensure he could craft a set of One-Word Battle Armor by the time he reached the five-ring Soul King stage.

On the way back to Sea God Island, Jiaojiao whispered to The Twins, "I feel like that Gu Yue is strange. Do you have that feeling?"

Yun Qianzhao looked back at Jiaojiao, surprised that she could actually perceive the issue with Gu Yue!

As the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue possessed immense power. Logically speaking, even a powerhouse at Yun Ming's level shouldn't be able to see through her disguise! She was truly worthy of being a plant-type fierce beast to be able to detect that something was wrong with her.

However, even with the powerful sensory abilities of a plant-type fierce beast, she could only tell that Gu Yue was strange, without being able to identify her true form.

Yun Qianzhao said to Jiaojiao, "You don't need to worry about this matter; we have our own judgment."

Hearing Yun Qianzhao's words, Jiaojiao nodded, then reminded them: "You must be extremely careful! Although Bajiao and I can protect you, if you encounter a true powerhouse, I fear we might still fall short."

Although Jiaojiao and Bajiao were both fierce beasts, even with their ultimate attributes, their strength was at most equivalent to a Super Douluo—and that was without using Battle Armor! If the opponent possessed Three-Word Battle Armor, they would definitely be no match.

Looking across the continent, which of today's Super Douluo didn't possess Three-Word Battle Armor!

The deeper they understood, the more the two plant-type fierce beasts felt shocked by the immense power humans possessed today!

They were glad they had made the choice to follow The Twins!

If they had followed The Twins initially due to their attributes, ever since Elder Jin handed the Seed of Life to The Twins, both had completely decided to pledge their lives to the service of Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue!
