Leng Yaozhu looked at her usually aloof and cold disciple, who was now unexpectedly revealing a shy, girlish side, and was slightly stunned.
But upon second thought, she too had experienced the innocence and longing for love during her own girlhood.
Judging by Gu Yue's reaction, it was definitely love at first sight—no doubt about it!
"Ahem, little brother, you haven't told us your name yet."
"Oh, oh! Big sister, my name is Qian Jue. Please take care of me."
Qian Jue took hold of Gu Yue's delicate little hand and could clearly feel her tremble the moment they made contact.
Gu Yue pulled her hand back, her legs pressed tightly together beneath her skirt, the blush on her face deepening.
A mist of moisture clouded her deep purple eyes.
No, I absolutely cannot act so uncomposed in front of my future wife.
Gu Yue suppressed the fluttering in her heart and turned to look at the master she had just taken on:
"Master, I would like this child to be my junior brother. Is that alright?"
Leng Yaozhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry; they had only just met, and already she was favoring an outsider.
Girls in love were truly blind.
She crouched down and ruffled Gu Yue's hair. "It's possible, but being my disciple is very hard work, you know."
"Besides, the little brother might not necessarily agree, right?"
"I am willing to be your disciple, Your Excellency!"
Qian Jue raised his chubby little hand and said with an excited expression.
Although he didn't know why Gu Yue had such a strange reaction to him, only a fool would turn down a four-word battle armor master as a backer.
In case he ran away and Long Yeyue came to catch him, it would be good to have someone to rely on.
Su Jiangtao, being a sensible man, seized the opportunity to climb higher, walking over to hand Leng Yaozhu the records of Qian Jue's martial soul awakening.
Leng Yaozhu took the documents and began to flip through them.
Gu Yue was not only her disciple but also the young mistress of a newly emerged hidden family.
Since she liked this child, even if Qian Jue's talent were mediocre, it wouldn't be impossible for her to take him on as a disciple.
After all, such a cute child, if kept by her side, could satisfy the maternal instincts of an older, single woman like herself who had no children of her own.
"Twin martial souls, the Coiling Dragon Staff and the Dragon Rising Pillar, and an unprecedented innate soul power of level twenty?!"
"Su Jiangtao, your luck is quite something. Starting this month, you will serve as the supervisor of the Awakening Hall, and your bonus will be doubled for the next three years."
Leng Yaozhu was overjoyed; she hadn't expected that while accompanying Gu Yue to test her spiritual power, she would stumble upon such a massive windfall.
As expected of Lord Dragon Venerable!
Many memories regarding the Dragon God had been lost or remained incomplete.
However, the memories concerning the Dragon Venerable had been etched into her predecessor's mind like a mental seal, ensuring that even if she died and her soul were reincarnated, she would never forget them.
Therefore, Gu Yue knew that the Dragon Venerable was absolutely extraordinary.
In her memories, the Dragon Venerable had started out as nothing more than an ordinary sub-dragon during his lifetime.
Yet, in the end, he had managed to stand out among countless true dragons and dragon kings to become the first sovereign of the dragon race.
This was one of the reasons why her predecessor had fallen hopelessly in love with the Dragon Venerable.
To be born mediocre is no sin, but to remain mediocre is incompetence!
This was a statement made by the Dragon Venerable after he achieved success, and it was also the very first sentence in the Tiamat Quotations.
After the Dragon Venerable fell, the Dragon God had compiled every word and action of his that he had recorded into a book of quotations.
All adult dragons were required to read it thoroughly, and cubs were taught from a young age—they were even expected to listen to these classic quotes while still in the womb.
"Good child, from now on you are my closing disciple. This is your Senior Sister Gu Yue; you must get along well in the future."
"Okay, Teacher." Qian Jue tilted his head and gave Gu Yue a sweet smile. "Nice to meet you, Senior Sister~~"
Ah—
How can there be such a flawless, adorable creature in this world?
Lord Dragon Venerable called me Senior Sister... hehe...
Gu Yue felt as if her heart had been pierced by a thousand arrows in an instant.
Yet she still managed to keep her expression stiff, preventing herself from drooling.
"Mm, if you ever need anything, you can come to me. Even if it means becoming an enemy of the whole world, I will stand by your side without hesitation." Gu Yue nodded slightly, saying something quite profound in a serious tone.
Uh, the vibe is a bit off... Gu Yue, are you serious about that?
Qian Jue silently complained in his heart.
Although the memories were a bit distant, shouldn't you be going after Tang Wulin, Gu Yue?
Why are you here farming my favorability instead?
Leng Yaozhu crouched down and took Qian Jue's hand, preparing to present him with a gift for becoming her apprentice.
Suddenly, she noticed that there were some scars on Qian Jue's fair arms.
How could such a young child have suffered injuries severe enough to leave scars?
I will have Elder Mu treat him later; such delicate skin should not be marred by ugly scars.
"This is a storage soul device. Just wear it on your wrist. It has thirty cubic meters of space inside, and it can hold anything except living creatures."
"Thank you, Teacher."
Qian Jue took the bracelet. Even though the opening was quite large, it automatically shrank to the perfect size once he slipped it onto his wrist.
Soul guidance technology truly changes lives.
"I happen to be taking your senior sister to test her spiritual power. Little Qian, come with us."
Su Jiangtao took the hint and left, giving the teacher and her two students some space.
"After the test, we will go and select a suitable soul spirit."
The three of them walked into the room together.
Gu Yue was the first to be tested. As a soft white light began to glow from the outside of the helmet, the numbers on the soul guidance screen beside her started to jump.
The numbers finally paused, settling on a specific value.
"Spiritual power two hundred, Spirit Connection Realm."
Excitement flickered in Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes. She knew Gu Yue was talented, but she hadn't expected it to reach this level.
One had to know that many peers were still stuck in the Spirit Origin Realm at this age, and only a small portion of spirit-type martial soul masters could possibly touch the Spirit Connection Realm.
Martial souls like the Elemental Envoy belonged in the ranks of super martial souls.
Gu Yue stepped down from the instrument and walked over to Qian Jue, not forgetting to flash a little expression that practically begged for praise.
"Senior sister is amazing!"
Heehee (#^.^#)
I was praised by Lord Dragon Venerable, I'm so happy.
I'll reward my junior brother by letting him sleep with me tonight.
Gu Yue's heart was burning with excitement, but she maintained a cold and aloof expression on the surface, saying in a gentle tone:
"Junior brother will surely be able to do it too."
Qian Jue didn't waste any words; he simply followed Gu Yue's previous actions and placed the instrument's helmet onto his head.
Below, Gu Yue stared at the spiritual power testing instrument, planning to dismantle it later and send it to her home.

White light surged, and the numbers on the instrument began to soar.
50, 75, 99...
Soon, his spiritual power broke past one hundred, but the speed did not diminish; it continued to climb.
Finally, under the astonished gazes of Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue, the value of Qian Jue's spiritual power stopped at a truly terrifying range: 501.
Spiritual power 501, born in the Spirit Sea Realm!
Leng Yaozhu remembered that even Han Tianyi, the Illusion Brain Douluo known for his spiritual power, could never have reached this level at such an age.
She had truly struck gold.
"Teacher, can we go pick out a soul spirit now?"
"Yes, of course."
