Yu Longyue's gaze lingered on Gu Yuena for a moment, as if she had just remembered something:
"You are now the master of the Spirit Pagoda?"
Since Qiangu Dongfeng was stationed at the Blood God Legion, he has never returned.
During the few days he spent at Shrek, he vaguely heard that Gu Yue had become the current master of the Spirit Pagoda.
It was the Qiangu Dongfeng that voluntarily stepped down and yielded its position to a worthy successor.
The reasons he gave were even quite noble and inspiring.
Similar to the explanation that Qiangu Dongfeng resigned from his position as the head of the Spirit Pagoda because he needed to guard the front line of war for many years for the sake of all mankind, it must be admitted that Qiangu Dongfeng has won the favor of too many people.
Shrek and Tang Sect, who had always harbored resentment towards Qiangu Dongfeng, now looked at him with new respect. Their previous covert rivalry vanished completely under Qiangu Dongfeng's influence.
Moreover, there was no significant publicity surrounding this attempt to take over the position of Tower Master; the official announcement was simply that they were going to fight for all of humanity, leaving the position vacant.
Huo Yuhao, who had always been a candidate for the position of tower master, had been busy with scientific research all day and had hardly participated in the internal struggles of the Spirit Pagoda in recent years.
Therefore, the position of Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda naturally fell to Gu Yuena, without any competitors.
Otherwise, given Huo Yuhao's abilities, it's uncertain who would become the Tower Master.
In that sense, Gu Yuena was extremely lucky, because Qiangu Dongfeng and Huo Yuhao were too busy fighting for the fate of all mankind to bother with her.
This allowed Gu Yuena's plan to proceed extremely smoothly, without any obstacles whatsoever.
"Yes, I got the job by luck." Gu Yuena gently raised her slender hand, brushed a strand of hair that had fallen beside her ear, and spoke with extreme humility.
This, in turn, made Yu Longyue's lips twitch.
What a stroke of "good luck"!
Soon, the people who came to greet Gu Yuena arrived.
Hua Tao, the Qi Douluo and a branch tower master of the Spirit Pagoda of the Douling Empire, led a group of people to the port. His tall figure and traditional Douluo Continent attire highlighted his status and position.
Hua Tao, who was only at level 96, immediately took a few steps forward upon seeing Gu Yuena, bowed respectfully, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and greeted Gu Yuena with the most traditional etiquette.
"Tower Master, welcome! I am Hua Tao, the branch tower master of the Spirit Pagoda Tower of the Dou Ling Empire, and I extend my highest respect to you."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly. "No need for formalities, please take us to see His Majesty."
Hua Tao straightened up, somewhat surprised.
us?
Only then did he notice that there was another young man beside Gu Yuena.
How could they... not even notice that there was another person there?
Wait, why does he look so familiar?
"I wonder who this is...?" Hua Tao asked instinctively.
Yu Longyue's statement was quite concise:
"Hello, Yu Longyue."
"It really is you." Upon hearing the name and recalling the terrifying experiences and legends surrounding this man, Hua Tao stammered.
The oppressive feeling is enough to send shivers down your spine just by hearing the name.
"Um, I... I'll take you all to a local luxury hotel to rest first..."
Gu Yuena found the sight somewhat amusing, but she suppressed it, maintaining her cold expression. "Aren't you going to the capital to see His Majesty?"
"No, no, His Majesty is coming to see you two personally. He is on his way. Please wait a moment. We will treat you with the best hospitality," Hua Tao said hurriedly, bowing his head.
"Gentlemen, please follow me."
The two followed behind Hua Tao. Gu Yuena glanced at Yu Longyue, who was walking beside her, and said with a smile in her voice:
"He seems very afraid of you. What did you do?"
"Who knows? I'm not that scary, am I?" Yu Longyue shrugged. "It's probably... a rumor or something? Oh well, it's not important."
Gu Yuena chuckled lightly, a hint of mockery in her voice. "Your reputation for being 'not scary' has probably spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent by now."
Yu Longyue shook his head helplessly. While some people respected him, others were afraid of him, but he didn't care about that. He only cared about when his work would end so he could have a proper vacation.
"Let reputation go."
The two arrived at the reception room of a local luxury hotel, where Hua Tao personally arranged the best room for Yu Longyue and Gu Yuena and ensured that all their needs were met.
Not long after, Xue Yuntian came to the hotel in person. It was hard to imagine that a monarch would set aside his pride to come and see them.
But at a time like this, what good is saving face? Will it save their lives?
cannot.
So there's no face left to save.
Lack of strength is the original sin.
The vast Dou Ling Empire has not a Limit Douluo, not even as good as the Star Luo Empire. It's a huge disgrace.
According to the Douluo Federation, the Dou Ling Empire has a lot of resources but doesn't know how to use them; in short, it's like sitting in a latrine without doing anything.
waste!
"Your Excellency Yu Longyue, Tower Master Gu Yuena, welcome to our arrival." Xue Yuntian said, a hint of excitement and anticipation in his voice. "On behalf of the Dou Ling Empire, I extend the warmest welcome to you."
Gu Yuena looked at Yu Longyue, indicating that he should speak first.
Without wasting time, Yu Longyue said directly, "I won't waste any more time, let's get straight to the point."
The meeting lasted a full day, and in the end, the Dou Ling Empire agreed to cooperate with the Dou Ling Empire Douluo Federation, and was willing to send its strongest legion to the Far North to provide support, and was also willing to follow the command of the Douluo Federation.
At the same time, all the resources on the mainland will be supplied to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan family, who will then invest them in the Douluo Federation's Battlecruiser project.
As for the discussion on Gu Yuena's side, they didn't shy away from Yu Longyue. Instead, they said in front of him that everyone in the Spirit Pagoda branch had to leave the Dou Ling Empire and return to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters to prepare for a full-scale war.
The meeting ended, and Xue Yuntian wanted to persuade these two important figures to stay in the Dou Ling Empire a little longer, since the Holy Spirit Cult still posed a potential threat to them.
But Yu Longyue refused.
The threat posed by the Holy Spirit Cult is indeed a problem, but that's not important.
The important thing is that he is pressed for time; once the talks here are over, he needs to hurry to the Star Luo Empire to continue the discussions.
The Holy Spirit Cult, hiding in the shadows, didn't have time to deal with it; he could only wait until Xue Yuntian found him before coming over.
The two of them left decisively, leaving Xue Yuntian looking helpless.
"Hey, why don't you take me with you?"
Gu Yuena called out to Yu Longyue just as he was about to take off.
"I've heard that you're the fastest person on the entire Douluo Star. Perfect timing, I'd like to test my speed too."
Yu Longyue turned around and looked at Gu Yuena.
"You really want to experience it?"
"What, are you afraid I can't handle it?" Gu Yuena smiled slightly, and in front of him, the eternal glacier seemed to be slowly melting.
"Sure, if you want to experience it, then come on over." Yu Longyue smiled and patted her thigh.
"Come on, will you sit on it yourself, or should I carry you up?"
