Gu Yue clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and cracked his knuckles.
She looked at the two people in front of her, Xiao Mu was counting their seniority with their fingers as if it were a matter of course, Na'er raised her little face, serious and innocent, but she couldn't hide the gloating in her eyes.
This is the first time I find these two people so annoying.
It doesn't matter if he can't beat Xiao Mu in the academy, but now he is even lower than him in seniority, and he can't survive this life.
Leng Yaozhu leaned against the door frame, watching his student being bullied by two peers, and just smiled.
She had no intention of taking action to save the situation, she was just being clever.
After Gu Yue's blush subsided a little, Leng Yaozhu looked at Xiao Mu.
"Let's get down to business first."
"When will you forgive Qiangu Dongfeng? It's really not convenient for Spirit Pagoda to work now."
It's not very convenient to work. This is the most euphemistic way she put it.
The trading system has been paralyzed for almost three months, and Spirit Ascension Platform's data has not been fully restored yet. Emergency meetings are being held internally at Spirit Pagoda every day.
Xiao Mu thought for a while, "That depends on his sincerity."
He spoke lightly, but there was no hint of joking in those black eyes.
He remembered clearly what he was targeted in Spirit Ascension Platform three months ago.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Ten years is not too late for him. He is not a gentleman. He thinks ten years is too long.
After all, those are the words of a sage, what does they have to do with me.
Gu Yue took a deep breath and slowly loosened her clenched fists. Not being familiar with these two people, she silently recited it three times in her heart.
"When will you go back?"
Xiao Mu thought about it and realized that Heaven Dou City's affairs were almost done. Spirit Pagoda had also seen what he should see, and Soul Spirit Orb was also obtained. He wanted to stay for two days to visit Heaven Dou City's mecha accessories market, and by the way, make a set of Purple-Grade Mecha.
"It's expected to be in three days."
Gu Yue nodded and kept this time in mind. Three days later, her internship was almost over, and she would not see this guy again in three days.
Go back on your own on the fifth day.
After returning home, I took practical classes, and my strength was no longer what it used to be.
Xiao Mu Practice honestly, all you need to do is liberate your origin.
I already have three rings, so I can definitely surpass the strength of Xiao Mu.
My elemental control is definitely above Xiao Mu.
Not long after, Xiao Mu took Na'er and Gu Yue to say goodbye. Gu Yue stood at the door of Spirit Pagoda, watching the two walking side by side through the square, and Na'er turned back and waved to her.
"Gu Yue, see you in the academy. Don't make any progress by then. I've already got three rings!"
Gu Yue smiled coldly, "Three rings, just add some yourself."
Meanwhile, Eastsea City.
Qiangu Dongfeng stood outside the door of the Xiao family villa, holding a dark red wooden box in his hand. He had been standing outside the door for almost a quarter of an hour.
The door was not opened, the curtains were tightly drawn, the leaves of the old osmanthus tree in the yard were rustling in the wind, but there was no movement other than that.
This isn't his first time here, and it won't be his last.
It has been almost three months, and the result is the same every time he comes - no one opens the door, no one answers, only the sensor light on the porch lights up when he approaches and goes out when he walks away.
The apology in the wooden box has been changed from an ordinary piece of Thousand-Year Soul Bone, to Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, and then to the rare Head Soul Bone. Today he brought the final version - Ouroboros Soul Bone, spiritual type, certified to be over 90,000 years old.
Soul Bone, which has been certified to be 90,000 years old, is already a sky-high price, and the spiritual type Head Soul Bone is even more sky-high among sky-high prices. In the entire inventory of Spirit Pagoda, even Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is slightly less valuable than it.
He changed the wooden box to his left hand, raised his right hand again, and rang the doorbell.
Still no one responded, Qiangu Dongfeng almost wondered if there was really anyone in this house.
Three days later, Mu Ye's Red-Grade Mecha descended from the clouds, and the roar of the engine made the leaves in the villa area tremble. The hatch opened, and Xiao Mu and Na'er jumped out, followed by Mu Ye.
Qiangu Dongfeng stood at the door of the villa.
Today he was not wearing the Spirit Pagoda deputy tower master's formal clothes. He was only wearing dark gray casual clothes and holding the dark red wooden box in his hand.
The moment he saw Xiao Mu jump off the mecha, his pupils shrank suddenly.
He recognized this young man. Three months ago, he instantly killed Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
At that time, he thought he was just an ordinary student. He had the final say on Spirit Pagoda's Spirit Ascension Platform. Nothing about his background could sway him at all.
After all, whether to give Soul Bone or not is an internal matter for him Spirit Pagoda.
"Are you Xiao Mu?" Qiangu Dongfeng spoke, his voice a little dry. He had been the tower master of Spirit Pagoda for most of his life, and this was the first time he was so nervous.
"This question asks you to think back to the sun and ask, are you the sun?"
"Then why did you sanction Spirit Pagoda's communications?"
"This is even more meaningless. Would you ask the sun why you shine?"
At this moment, Jun Wu was speechless and just kept recording. This sentence was obviously more suitable for him.
No matter how bright the stars are, their brilliance cannot outshine the sun.
Qiangu Dongfeng stood at the foot of the steps, holding the 90,000-year-old Ouroboros Soul Bone in his hand. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
This Xiao Mu is a little overconfident. But from another perspective, the metaphor of the sun is not an exaggeration - he did sanction Spirit Pagoda's communication system, just like the weather turned cloudy.
Qiangu Dongfeng took a deep breath and decided not to ask further questions on this issue. If he continued to ask, he was afraid that Xiao Mu would say something else.
At this moment, the door of the villa suddenly opened.
Xiao Ming walked out of the door, still wearing black casual home clothes, with the cuffs rolled up to his forearms.
He stood under the porch, his eyes paused for a moment on the wooden box in Qiangu Dongfeng's hand, then on Xiao Mu's face, and finally glanced at Mu Ye and Na'er.
"Come in, everyone. It's so rude to let the guests stand outside."
Qiangu Dongfeng's fingers holding the wooden box tightened slightly. He had been standing outside the villa for almost three months, and he could finally go in.
Xiao Ming turned around and walked back into the house without looking back or looking at him again. He seemed to be sure that Qiangu Dongfeng would follow.
The living room is still the same as last time. There are six glasses of water and clear white porcelain cups on the coffee table, neatly placed.
Xiao Ming sat down on the sofa. Ye Ran brought out a plate of snacks from the kitchen and placed it on the table. He nodded to Qiangu Dongfeng, but his attitude was not very enthusiastic.
Mu Ye and Na'er sat down respectively. Xiao Mu leaned on the armrest of the sofa and crossed his legs.
Qiangu Dongfeng walked to the coffee table, looked down, and stopped.
The five glasses of water were transparent and emitting a thin stream of steam. Only the glass in front of him was purple, with slightly bubbling on the surface. When the bubbles burst, an ominous atmosphere emitted.
The purple liquid slowly rotated in the cup without any external force, just spinning on its own.
"What is this?" Qiangu Dongfeng's voice was a little tight.
"Just drink it and that's it. The ingredients are normal." Xiao Ming said, but he couldn't say more about the finished product.
