At this moment, in Shrek Inner Court, Yu Longyue and Na'er were surrounded by many inner courtyard disciples.
"Everyone, if you can, please give us some money for the tickets. It's not much, just 10,000 contribution points. You can watch as much as you want. But if you can't give us money, please make way."
The people around were silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"The young master of the mighty Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is so stingy, he even has to make money from ticket sales?"
"Of course, I come from a merchant family. What else would I do if I didn't make money?" Yu Longyue joked, appearing completely unpretentious, as if the violent incident just now had nothing to do with him.
The next second, her phone rang. Yu Longyue raised an eyebrow, glanced at the caller ID, and saw that it was Leng Yaozhu. She answered the call without hesitation.
"I've been quite busy lately, so I haven't been able to personally visit the hospital to see you recover and be discharged. Congratulations!"
"Your Majesty's courtesy is too much. I am merely a junior, and it is only right that I, as a junior, should pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Leng Yaozhu chuckled on the other end of the phone, "You're quite the smooth talker, kid. I'm calling to invite you to come over. Our collaboration officially started a year ago, and since you've been bedridden for a year, I naturally want you to come and see how it's progressing in person."
Yu Longyue was slightly taken aback, then said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I'll be right there."
"No need to rush, you can come tomorrow. You've just been discharged from the hospital, you should rest more," Leng Yaozhu said gently.
"Your Majesty is too kind. I am in excellent health, already full of energy and vitality," Yu Longyue replied. "Your Majesty, would you like to suggest a suitable time... noon? Or evening?"
Leng Yaozhu thought for a moment and said, "Noon is fine. The Tower Master will be there in person. He really values you."
"I am truly flattered," Yu Longyue said, feeling embarrassed. "Then let's leave it at that. See you at noon, Your Majesty."
See you at noon.
Watching this scene from behind, Na'er couldn't help but say, "Brother, I thought you were lying to me. After all, you're so lazy, how could you really be so busy? Turns out you really are..."
"Sigh, do you think anyone enjoys working hard?" Yu Longyue felt like she had aged a lot in an instant. "Once I turn eighteen, I'll be even busier, and I won't be able to shirk my responsibilities anymore."
"You have to do what you're supposed to do, little sister. How about I take you out for some fun? Want to come with me to the Spirit Pagoda?"
Na'er whispered, "Won't this interfere with your work?"
"No, it's no trouble at all. Just consider it a chance for you to go out and see the world. Don't stay cooped up on Sea God Island all the time; you're becoming a shut-in."
After saying that, Yu Longyue made another phone call, which was answered instantly.
"Young Sect Master?"
Yu Longyue was taken aback, clearly not expecting the other party to address her so readily, which saved her some trouble.
"Brother, the family has arranged for you to be my secretary starting today. I'm in the inner courtyard now, come quickly, it's time to get to work."
"Receive."
The call was ended, and a short while later, a man dressed in a black suit and wearing sunglasses walked out from the crowd of inner courtyard disciples.
The disciples were all talking about this person when they saw him; he was clearly a celebrity in the inner courtyard.
"Young Sect Master." The man approached Yu Longyue and bowed respectfully.
The disciples from the inner courtyard who witnessed this scene were utterly astonished.
"Wait, what's going on? Isn't he Yu Longyue's cousin?"
"I don't know. I thought there would be a fierce battle to see, but who knew Yu Longyang would just back down like that?"
Yu Longyue was no less shocked than they were. Looking at her cousin, who was showing weakness to her, she asked:
"I remember, after I awakened my God Level Martial Soul when I was six years old, you, who should have been the young sect leader, were replaced by me."
"I always thought you hated me, that you even targeted me openly and secretly several times when I was very young."
Yu Longyang remained calm, staring directly at his cousin, who was now almost as tall as him, his tone unwavering:
"Those were all family arrangements, they have nothing to do with you. I was just being stubborn in the past."
"Besides, I've seen your outstanding abilities. You're more suitable than me for the position of young sect leader."
Yu Longyue pointed to Na'er beside her. "Then let's go. Make the arrangements. We need to go to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters at noon to discuss business. There will be three of us, including a guy named Huo Haodong. Remember to inform him."
"Yes."
Yu Longyang bowed slightly again, then turned and left to prepare for his work.
"Brother, aren't you afraid he'll mess with you?" Na'er tugged at Yu Longyue's clothes and whispered.
Back when she was still with Yu Longyue, Yu Longyang had come to cause trouble for her. She remembered him vividly; he was definitely a bad guy.
"This is a family arrangement, and it's probably meant to be a test." Yu Longyue rubbed his temples. "I didn't want to fight amongst ourselves, but if he's really determined to go all the way, then there's really nothing I can do."
"However, judging from his current situation, there's a high chance he's acknowledged my identity, so there's no need to worry. If he really harms me, it would prove he doesn't want the family's recognition and identity."
Yu Longyang represents the sun of the family, while he represents the moon. One is light, the other is darkness. According to the original arrangement, Yu Longyang should be the head of the family, and then he should be responsible for helping Yu Longyang deal with some things that cannot be seen in the light of day, and consolidating Yu Longyang's position in the legitimate world, while he occupies the underworld.
When the two brothers work together with one heart, their strength can break even metal.
But now it's turned out the other way around...
This is utterly upside down!
Anyone in their shoes would be dissatisfied; the fact that they haven't started fighting each other is a testament to their harmony.
"I'm still a little scared," Na'er said, sounding somewhat nervous. "You see, sometimes, for the position of family head, there are always scenarios where brothers fight each other to the death..."
Yu Longyue shook her head. "Don't worry, I think Second Uncle will warn him. After all, my death won't do the family any good. They don't know if the person they send to take over my company can do a better job than me. Besides, my technical team only recognizes me. If I die, the company will be dissolved on the spot, and the cooperation with the Federation will also be canceled."
"The family doesn't value kinship; it only values ability and self-interest."
"He's far inferior to me in every aspect. Although he's good at Innate Full Soul Power, I have God Level Martial Soul, which he can't match. And when it comes to making money... I'm miles ahead of him."
"Simply burying yourself in cultivation isn't very useful," Yu Longyue sighed. "He hasn't entered society yet; he'll probably join the army for training after I turn eighteen, so he can join me then."
"So, what you're worried about will never happen. He doesn't have the guts to go against the family, and he's not stupid enough to team up with outsiders against his own family."
"If he really dares to do that, he'll probably be the first to die. Our family has been around for over 20,000 years, so we naturally have plenty of experience dealing with this kind of situation."
"So you'd considered all the probabilities of every scenario, huh? No wonder." Na'er turned her head away. "I was overthinking it."
"You're still young, and you weren't raised in a wealthy family or received elite training, so it's normal that it's sometimes hard for you to judge the pros and cons of a situation." Yu Longyue patted her little head affectionately.
" Uncle Yun has protected you too well. Although the family appears glamorous on the surface, who knows what's hidden beneath that glamorous exterior?"
"This is just one family; who can say that other forces are necessarily good?"
Na'er pouted, "It's so complicated."
Yu Longyue smiled and then glanced at her phone message:
"Alright, the car's here. Na'er, you go ahead. I have some things to take care of."
"What's wrong?"
"Go to the kitchen and cook a meal, it'll be ready soon."
The Spirit Pagoda.
As soon as Yu Longyue off the car, she saw the Qiangu Zhangting waiting for her at the main entrance.
Upon seeing Yu Longyue, Qiangu Zhangting immediately greeted her with a broad smile, " Yu Longyue, it's been a long time! I heard you were just discharged from the hospital. Are you feeling better?"
"I've fully recovered, thank you for your concern."
Qiangu Zhangting nodded. "That's good. It's just a pity that I couldn't fight alongside you and experience that thrilling battle. It certainly helped me vent my anger. Thank you."
Yu Longyue looked at him with some surprise. "So you were injured before because of Evil Soul Master?"
"Haha, let's not talk about that. The Tower Master and Deputy Tower Master are both here today; they're really looking forward to meeting you."
"Let's go in."
Qiangu Zhangting gestured for them to enter.
