"!!!"
Looking at the face that was so close to him, Gu Yuena was startled, and subconsciously wanted to focus on Elemental Storm to obscure the face of the person in front of him.
But she quickly controlled it. After calming down, she noticed who was in front of her.
Leng Yaozhu.
Gu Yuena is a little confused, why is this woman here?
Looking past Leng Yaozhu in front of him, he looked straight into Long Yuan's eyes.
Long Yuan nodded.
Gu Yuena breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was Long Yuan telling her that Leng Yaozhu had no ill intentions.
"I have seen Your Majesty Heavenly Phoenix, please respect yourself." Gu Yuena said in a low voice.
Leng Yaozhu Only then did he realize that he had lost his composure. He coughed lightly, stood up straight, and instantly regained his aloof appearance.
"Ahem, I mean... how do you feel?"
Gu Yuena blinked, looked past Leng Yaozhu, and looked behind her.
Long Yuan stood not far away, with his arms folded across his chest and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he was watching a good show.
Gu Yuena looked away and said calmly, "It's okay."
Leng Yaozhu: "..."
Is it okay again?
This girl learned a lot from Long Yuan!
She took a deep breath and decided not to beat around the bush.
"Gu Yuena, I formally ask you - are you willing to become my teacher?"
Gu Yuena was stunned for a moment.
Leng Yaozhu continued, "This is not a verbal 'recruitment' like before, but a formal and serious apprenticeship. I will teach you everything I know, give you the best resources, and protect you to go further on the Soul Master road."
Her eyes were serious and firm.
"Would you do that?"
Gu Yuena was silent for a second.
Then, she looked at Long Yuan.
Long Yuan nodded slightly.
Gu Yuena withdrew his gaze and looked at Leng Yaozhu.
"Yes."
Leng Yaozhu's eyes lit up, and a bright smile spread across her face. She stretched out her hand to pull Gu Yuena, but then pulled back as if she remembered something, cleared her throat, and tried to maintain her superior persona.
"Okay, okay, then from now on, you will be my disciple Leng Yaozhu."
She thought for a while, took out a delicate storage bag from her arms, and stuffed it into Gu Yuena's hand.
"This is a meeting gift. It contains some Soul Tool that I used when I was young, as well as some natural treasures. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything good. I will make up for it later."
Gu Yuena took the storage bag, glanced down, and then looked up at Leng Yaozhu.
"Thank you, teacher."
Leng Yaozhu laughed so hard that his eyes were bent.
Long Yuan said leisurely from the side, "Master Leng Tower, you are very quick to deliver the greeting gift. I have never seen you so active before. Why, as an elder, shouldn't I give my disciple a greeting gift?"
Leng Yaozhu rolled his eyes. "It's your business to accept a disciple, and it's my business to accept a disciple. Besides, that disciple of yours..."
She turned her head and looked to the other side.
Several staff members were carefully lifting two unconscious figures out of the metal cabin.
They are Xie Xie and Zhang Yangzi.
Their faces were pale and their eyes were closed. They were obviously mentally shocked after being killed and eliminated by Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
I'm afraid it will take at least a few hours to recover from the coma.
"They are still too careless. They dare to let down their guard even though they are not out of danger yet. Hmm, wait until next semester..."
Leng Yaozhu said nothing and continued to search.
In another metal cabin, Wang Jinxi walked out on his own. As the one who quit on his own initiative, he kept watching the experiences of his teammates until Riot Period was completely over before they woke up together.
He walked aside silently and watched the staff carry Xie Xie and Zhang Yangzi aside to place them.
Then there is Lan Fozi.
She climbed out of the metal cabin, rubbed her eyes, and looked like she had just woken up. She looked around and found that Gu Yuena was already awake, and immediately ran over and held her arm.
"Cousin!"
Gu Yuena glanced at her but said nothing.
The last one to be carried out was Tang Wulin.
His condition looked even worse than that of Xie Xie and Zhang Yangzi - his face was as pale as paper and his eyes were closed tightly. Several staff carefully lifted him out of the metal cabin with extreme caution.
Leng Yaozhu's eyes fell on Tang Wulin, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.
This kid... really killed Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear on his own?
Even thinking about it now, it's a bit unreal.
Long Yuan walked over.
He looked down at the unconscious Tang Wulin, reached out to check his pulse, and nodded.
"It's okay. I've exhausted myself too much. Just take a nap and you'll be fine."
The staff then lifted Tang Wulin aside and placed it there.
Gu Yuena came over and handed the thing in his hand to Long Yuan.
It was a dark golden object, about the size of a palm, with an irregular shape, and a faint light flowing on its surface.
"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear dropped it." Gu Yuena said.
Long Yuan took it, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Palm Bone, good quality."
He turned to look at the unconscious Tang Wulin.
"Give it to him when he wakes up."
Gu Yuena nodded. "What he defeated is naturally his trophy."
Leng Yaozhu came over, looked at the piece of Soul Bone, looked at him again, and said nothing.
Although this is Spirit Pagoda's property and a precious piece of External Soul Bone, Long Yuan is also Spirit Pagoda's person after all, and his disciples are naturally considered one of his own.
"By the way, that Gold-Water Mutual Harmony you are talking about..."
Long Yuan raised his eyebrows. "What? You want to find it now?"
Leng Yaozhu rolled his eyes. "I'm reminding you, don't expect my trip to be in vain. When I come back from Heaven Dou City, you have to treat me."
"What please?"
"Invite me to a meal." Leng Yaozhu said confidently, "Dignified Vice President Blacksmith Association, is it not too much to treat me to a meal?"
Long Yuan was silent for a second.
"Okay."
Leng Yaozhu smiled with satisfaction.
Lu Fengnian was watching all this silently, feeling filled with emotion.
This Your Excellency Leng, who acted like a master just now, is actually bargaining with others for a meal...
Sure enough, if you stay with Long Yuan for a long time, everyone will change.
In other words, the change was made because of Long Yuan's strength and background.
He coughed lightly and spoke to smooth things over, "Um... Brother Your Excellency Leng, Elder Long, it's getting late. How about we go back first? These children also need to rest."
Leng Yaozhu nodded and looked at Gu Yuena.
"In a few days, after I come back from Heaven Dou City, I will go to the academy to find you."
Gu Yuena nodded.
Leng Yaozhu glanced at the unconscious Tang Wulin again, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing and turned around to leave.
Long Yuan watched her leave, then looked at Wang Jinxi.
"How are you?"
Wang Jinxi shook his head. "It's okay."
Long Yuan nodded. "Please help take care of them later, especially Xie Xie and Zhang Yangzi. They may have sequelae of mental weakness after they wake up."
Wang Jinxi nodded.
Long Yuan looked at Gu Yuena again.
"You take Lan Fozi back first."
Gu Yuena nodded and pulled Lan Fozi out. When she reached the door, she looked back at the unconscious Tang Wulin, then withdrew her gaze and disappeared outside the door.
Long Yuan stood there, looking down at the dark gold Soul Bone in his hand.
"It's quite a classic..."
He put away Soul Bone, turned around and walked out.
Behind him, several staff members were still busy placing the unconscious students one by one.
Spirit Pagoda has a spare room, so just put them there and it won't be a hassle.
The setting sun poured in through the window, dyeing the entire room a warm orange color.
