Although these reasons all sounded plausible, Cai Mei'er still felt that something was off.
However, now is clearly not the time to dwell on these things; it's always good to avert a crisis.
The Scarlet King awkwardly cooperated with Gu Yuena in the acting, and although his "acting skills" were somewhat embarrassing, no one dared to question him because of his powerful strength.
Suddenly, after hearing Gu Yuena's telepathic message in his mind, the Scarlet King glanced at Cai Mei'er and Ma Sheng, and his three enormous mouths spoke simultaneously again, "Since you came with Yuena, then this matter will be dropped!"
With these words spoken, the crisis was finally averted.
Then the Scarlet King turned its gaze back to its master and said, " Yuena, since we've run into each other, come with me to the Core Circle. Your Uncle Di Tian has been missing you."
Compared to the Scarlet King, Di Tian, ranked first among the Ten Ferocious Beast, is undoubtedly more famous on the continent.
After all, this is a being hailed as the Beast God, the strongest Soul Beast that even Limit Douluo must be wary of!
Those who were unaware of Gu Yuena's true identity naturally didn't suspect that the Ferocious Beast, the Scarlet King, would be "pretending to be polite" to humans, and even thought it was truly an "invitation" from Di Tian.
This made them value Gu Yuena's reclusive family even more.
Cai Mei'er was thinking to herself that she must tell Mu En about this when she got back.
The significance of a human clan that can maintain such a close relationship with the Core Circle the Star Dou Great Forest is extraordinary.
"OK!"
Gu Yuena nodded, agreeing to the Scarlet King's suggestion.
But this wasn't the end of it. The Scarlet King's gaze passed through the front row and finally settled on Kong Xuan in the back.
It raised its right paw and pointed at Kong Xuan, saying, "This kid should come along too. You're the Kong Xuan that Bi Ji mentioned, right? You're so young, yet you're already at the peak of the Soul King."
"No!"
Before Kong Xuan could reply, Ma Sheng directly refused.
He couldn't control Gu Yuena, but he wouldn't let Kong Xuan, the greatest genius in the history of Sun Moon, go to the lair of Soul Beast.
"Um?!"
The Scarlet King glanced at Ma Sheng, his powerful aura pressing down on him.
It had just received orders from its master to bring Kong Xuan back with it.
Facing the Ferocious Beast alone, Ma Sheng's face turned ferocious, but he showed no sign of backing down.
" Elder Ma!"
At that moment, Kong Xuan's voice came from behind.
Kong Xuan walked forward slowly and said with a smile, "Actually, I'm quite curious about the Core Circle of Star Dou Great Forest, so I'll take this opportunity to go and have a look."
Everyone else looked at Kong Xuan with shock, thinking he had really gone mad.
The Core Zone of Star Dou Great Forest is a forbidden zone for humans!
Once you get there, your life and death will no longer be in your own hands.
Ma Sheng turned to look at Kong Xuan and said in a serious tone, " Kong Xuan, there's no room for discussion on this. I will guarantee your safety and won't let you take any risks."
Seeing Ma Sheng's unyielding expression, Kong Xuan smiled and said, " Elder Ma, my grandfather must have said something to you before we came, right?"
Kong Xuan's words stirred up memories for Ma Sheng.
Before coming to Shrek as the team leader, Kong Deming had indeed met Ma Sheng and explained some things to him.
At that moment, Kong Xuan's words brought to mind a sentence from Kong Deming.
He remembered Kong Deming saying, "If Xuan'er wants to do something that you think is dangerous, don't stop him. He has ways to protect himself."
Ma Sheng looked at Kong Xuan again, his expression changing. He thought that the danger Kong Deming spoke of probably wouldn't have imagined it would be this dangerous.
Seeing that Ma Sheng seemed about to try to dissuade him, Kong Xuan preemptively said, "Don't worry, Elder Ma, there will be no danger. Even if something happens, I have ways to protect myself. I wouldn't risk my life."
Ma Sheng frowned, seemingly still hesitant. After struggling with his thoughts for a long time, he finally succumbed to Kong Xuan's confident expression.
"Alright!" Ma Sheng conceded, "You're not a reckless child. I hope my decision this time is right."
Kong Xuan glanced at everyone and said, " Elder Ma, you don't need to wait for us after you finish your Soul Hunting. We will return to the academy on our own."
After saying that, he walked to Gu Yuena's side and said, "Let's go."
Gu Yuena nodded and walked towards the Scarlet King with Kong Xuan.
Watching the two disappear into the vegetation ahead following the Scarlet King, Cai Mei'er looked at Ma Sheng and couldn't help but ask, " Elder Ma, are you really letting the two of them follow the Scarlet King to the Core Zone?"
Ma Sheng wore a helpless expression, shook his head and sighed, "What can I do?"
Compared to them, Xu Tianyi behind them had more confidence in Kong Xuan, saying, "I believe Kong Xuan will be safe. He never does anything without being sure of success."
Ma Sheng thought about it and realized it was true.
Although Kong Xuan was young, he did everything he said he would do.
Moreover, he often displays various incredible abilities, which even he, Titled Douluo, finds astonishing.
Seeing that the worry on Ma Sheng's face had subsided considerably, Cai Mei'er had no idea where their confidence came from.
However, now Chu Qingtian can finally absorb the Soul Ring safely. Even if something goes wrong, it will be the students of Sun Moon who are affected, and it has nothing to do with them.
On the other side, Scarlet King and his group had already moved beyond the range of Titled Douluo's perception.
The Scarlet King knelt directly before Gu Yuena and said respectfully, "My lord, I was rude earlier!"
Among the Ferocious Beast in the Core Circle, the Scarlet King, although it has three heads, is considered relatively "dumb," doing things in a methodical and straightforward manner without many ulterior motives.
At that moment, he was also wondering if his mistress would be angry since he had called her " Yuena " several times.
Gu Yuena has gradually adapted to life in human society, and in order to conceal her identity, she no longer cares about such titles and nicknames.
Gu Yuena said nonchalantly, "There was nothing rude about it. You did well just now. Get up."
Upon hearing this, the Scarlet King stood up, his three mouths practically stretched to his ears in a wide grin, clearly overjoyed by his lord's praise.
Are you the Lord?
A clear female voice rang out, Three-Eyed Golden Lion walked over, its large golden eyes curiously scrutinizing Gu Yuena.
The Scarlet King said sternly, "Do not be rude! This is His Majesty the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of Soul Beast!"
With a gentle smile on her face, Gu Yuena raised her hand and patted the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"That's right, I am your master!"
"This is our first meeting. The Star Dou Soul Beast Star Dou Great Forest is fortunate to have you; I should thank you."
Feeling the touch from above its head, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion revealed an expression of enjoyment.
At the same time, it thought to itself, "Our lord isn't as serious as the rumors say!"
