Ming De Hall's Invitation

"Yuhao, this is a message from Di Tian."

In the blueprint storage room, Gu Yuena handed her Soul Guidance Screen to Huo Yuhao. After watching him read the information, she transmitted her voice, "Yuhao, the Ming De Hall said it was a warning two years ago, but when we reached an agreement with Shrek Academy to discuss weakening public opinion, they agreed too quickly... This probably won't have any effect, right?"

The remote chat function is a new feature added to the Soul Guidance Screen in the last two years.

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the message sent by Di Tian on the Soul Guidance Screen.

"It's nothing, as long as their attitude is clear, we can probe their specific plans step by step. After the trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, we should be able to see what they're thinking."

Gu Yuena nodded thoughtfully.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao saw a message suddenly flash across the Soul Guidance Screen.

Gu Ruiqiu: Na'er, when are you going back to Mingdu? I waited until evening yesterday.

"..."

--Should we just call "Na'er" "little sister"?

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, calmly handing the Soul Guidance Screen back to Gu Yuena. His keen eyes noticed a slight pause in her fingertips, and a dangerous glint flashed deep in his purple eyes.

Gu Yuena silently put away the light screen, raised her eyes to look at Huo Yuhao, her face becoming cold and frosty, but a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment and annoyance flickered in her eyes.

"Laugh if you want to." She pursed her lips. "It's really uncomfortable to hold it in."

--The mighty Silver Dragon King, the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts, is being addressed so affectionately as "little sister" by his own subordinate?

Yuhao must find it funny.

Compared to the other person, she had no authority whatsoever.

Huo Yuhao chuckled and shook his head, reaching out to gently ruffle her silver hair, his fingertips sliding down the soft strands.

"There's nothing funny about it. On the contrary, I'm happy to see so many people around you who care about you and are close to you."

As he spoke, he pointed to the Soul Guidance Screen, Gu Yuena looked at it and saw a new message flash by.

Gu Ruiqiu: Don't ignore me! By the way, I've invented a new dessert, do you want to try it? I guarantee it'll be better than the ones I brought you before!

"..." Gu Yuena's expression fell, and she replied helplessly before looking at Huo Yuhao, "I spoiled her too much before. I should have let her stay in the position of Peace Ambassador."

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "Speaking of which, hasn't she changed back to her original self all these years? Has she become Peace Ambassador again?"

The Human Form Re-cultivation of Auspicious Beast is different from that of ordinary Soul Beast. Although it only has one chance to transform into a human in its lifetime, it can switch between the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the transformed human form, similar to the transformation of Ferocious Beast.

Judging from the fact that her Martial Soul was Simulation and her cultivation level was so high from the start, it's clear that she never had to Re-Cultivation her cultivation. Transformation wouldn't affect her lifespan; otherwise, Di Tian and the others wouldn't have agreed to let the Auspicious Beast run around.

"No," Gu Yuena said. "It takes time to establish an identity, and she has no intention of going back. Besides, she seems to really enjoy her current life, just like her name and appearance; this is a life she chose herself."

She paused, a faint smile appearing on her lips, "It's clear she's enjoying her life."

Otherwise, they would have been complaining Tenten.

"Is that so?" Huo Yuhao smiled slightly upon hearing this. "It's quite good."

Wang Qiu'er is a person who was born at a specific time and for a specific need.

Without the Golden Dragon Spear, Tang Wutong's Divine Consciousness, and the memories transmitted through the guide of fate, coupled with different experiences and knowledge, Gu Ruiqiu is destined not to be the Wang Qiu'er he knows... which may not be a bad thing.

(Note: According to the original novel, the Golden Dragon Spear was thrown to the Auspicious Beast by Tang San along with Tang Wutong's Divine Consciousness during the destiny's guidance. It was not something she originally possessed, nor could it have been brought down from the Divine Realm by Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena ran away immediately after birth and had no time to retrieve anything from the Divine Realm.)

(Whether it's the Golden Dragon King's rib version or the Dragon God's rib version—well, in Douluo Part 4, the Golden Dragon Spear became Pseudo Super Divine Tool formed from the Dragon God's rib—neither version has anything to do with Auspicious Beast. Therefore, the setting of Tang San throwing it to Auspicious Beast is adopted. However, this book does not have a destiny guide, so the Golden Dragon Spear is irrelevant to her.)

Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao with some suspicion, "Yuhao, are you and her very close?"

Ten Thousand Years Ago, Yuhao and the Auspicious Beast weren't particularly close, right? Why does he seem somewhat concerned about her situation?

"It's okay, let's just stay friends from now on."

Huo Yuhao stood up. "Let's go. We've been here long enough. Let's go back."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's natural expression, Gu Yuena blinked and nodded slightly.

The two walked outside, attracting the attention and discussion of passersby. As they rounded a corner, they saw Ling Zichen standing by the window.

Huo Yuhao paused slightly, his gaze falling on Ling Zichen's back. She was quietly looking out the window, golden sunlight streaming through the glass and illuminating her profile, outlining a detached silhouette.

"Did you wait here on purpose because you have some instructions?"

"The president asked me to tell you that the Ming De Hall has extended an invitation to you."

Ling Zichen turned to look at the two of them and said calmly, "Your unique Soul Tool manufacturing technique has attracted their attention."

The hushed conversation around them fell silent instantly, and some people instinctively widened their eyes.

As Sacred Land for researchers, Ming De Hall rarely invites people in person. Over the past Ten Thousand Years, no more than twenty people under the age of nineteen have been invited!

They were mostly invited after graduating from the academy; they hadn't joined any particular faction themselves!

But now, right before their eyes, a member of the Spirit Pagoda, a candidate for the next Tower Master, was personally invited by the Ming De Hall?

"Is this the next Spirit Pagoda Douluo?" a staff member murmured. "Not only is his cultivation Jue Chen, but his soul guidance talent is also unmatched. He actually managed to get Ming De Hall to open its doors to him with such ease..."

"I remember there were two similar examples Ten Thousand Years Ago, but those were Spirit Ice Douluo and Grandmaster Xuan Ziwen. I heard that the latter was originally a disciple of Silver Moon Douluo, but was captured by Spirit Ice Douluo... cough cough."

The woman who had been speaking quickly shut up when she noticed the stares coming from all around.

It seems that Spirit Ice Douluo has a penchant for kidnapping people; this shouldn't be said lightly.

"..."

Hearing the discussion, Ling Zichen looked at Huo Yuhao with a somewhat complicated expression.

Among those invited to the Ming De Hall was her ancestor, who had participated in the creation of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom and was one of the developers of the Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell!

"I understand, thank you for passing it on." Huo Yuhao nodded upon hearing this, and strode forward, continuing towards the door with Gu Yuena beside him.

As they passed each other, Ling Zichen whispered:

"The Soul Tool Research Department has a special Energy Research. Do you dare to give it a try?"

Huo Yuhao didn't stop walking and left directly.
