Chapter 1990: Chapter 1944 Testing Each Other (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Subsequently, these Spirit Pagoda members, under the lead of one of them, entered into the legion…

Watching their departing figures, Bi Ji then turned to another person and spoke with a calm expression, "Count these Spirit Souls carefully, and then move them into the legion!"

After a pause, she added, "Also, treat those from the Spirit Pagoda well, and give them some benefits when they leave. Make sure they speak highly of us when they report back to the Spirit Pagoda."

The latter immediately understood and replied earnestly, "Yes, Sub-Legion Commander!"

Having received an affirmative answer, Bi Ji did not linger any longer and stepped into the legion…

However, the legion members who had witnessed everything showed dissatisfied expressions one after another…

"I really don't know why the Sub-Legion Commander wants us to entertain these guys; they are merely the low-level personnel responsible for transporting Spirit Souls!"

"Exactly! The Spirit Pagoda delayed the delivery of the Spirit Souls we ordered for so long, and we still treated them nicely."

"Didn't you hear what the Sub-Legion Commander just said? Although our legion is not weak in strength, it is still a burgeoning power and lacks the depth of these established forces. If we want to develop further, we must establish good relationships!"

"Shh, keep your voices down, don't let those from the Spirit Pagoda hear you, or you might ruin the plan of the Sub-Legion Commander and the others!"

…

What awaited the Spirit Pagoda members, who entered the legion, was a sumptuous banquet prepared for them!

Moreover, they weren't surveilled by legion members, so everyone felt very relaxed…

Completely letting go, they ate heartily without feeling any embarrassment…

One of the Spirit Pagoda members grabbed a chicken leg and bit into it fiercely, tears streaming down his face as he exclaimed, "This is fantastic! Who would have thought that this remote legion would have so many delicious dishes and treat us so attentively?"

Another Spirit Pagoda member continuously made smacking sounds as he ate, "Mmm, if possible, I'd like to leave the Spirit Pagoda and join this legion!"

"Indeed, the treatment here is far better than at that place in the Spirit Pagoda where people lord it over others!"

"Stop dreaming. The reason this legion is treating us like this is also because of the Spirit Pagoda!"

"Hey, as a gesture of gratitude, we can just speak a few good words when we return to the Spirit Pagoda! After all, our mission here was to probe the situation of this legion."

"That's right, come on, everyone eat up!"

Little did they know, their disgraceful behavior had already been reported to Di Tian and others…

One of the soul beasts smirked, "Tsk tsk tsk, these humans eat in a more vulgar way than us soul beasts!"

Another soul beast mocked, "Greedy and insatiable, such are the cunning and deceitful humans!"

Bi Ji naturally witnessed the behavior of these Spirit Pagoda members and chuckled lightly, "No matter what, our approach should have already given these Spirit Pagoda members a favorable impression, so we don't have to worry about leaving a bad impression on the Spirit Pagoda!"

Di Tian nodded slightly, and his golden pupils emitted a few gleams of sharp light, "Yes, it's good that we anticipated this team was probing us under the guise of transporting Spirit Souls; otherwise, earning the Spirit Pagoda's trust even on a basic level would not be so simple!"

…

Spirit Pagoda!

Leng Yaozhu looked at Qiangu Qingfeng and asked, "Vice Tower Master, has the team for Soul Transport departed yet?"

Upon hearing this, Qiangu Qingfeng replied calmly, "Yes, the team for Soul Transport set out at dawn. According to the schedule, they should have already reached the stationed site of that legion by now!"

Leng Yaozhu, upon hearing this, then said seriously, "At present, we don't know whether this legion has other motives for contacting our Spirit Pagoda or if it is merely interested in purchasing Spirit Souls."

"However, once the Soul Transport team returns, everything will become clear!"

Qiangu Qingfeng shook his head and said, "Pagoda Master, that may not necessarily be the case. If this legion has been able to grow into such a formidable force in such a short time, I'm afraid it won't be that simple!"

"Even... they've already guessed the real purpose of our team's trip to transport Spirit Souls!"

Leng Yaozhu opened her mouth and shrugged, "There's nothing we can do about it, since we have kept this batch of Spirit Souls for quite a long time!"

As the Pagoda Master, she constantly had to deal with various powers and was already feeling extremely tired of it!

The only thing she wanted now was to support Gu Yue in ascending to the position and then just deal with miscellaneous matters herself!

Seeing the expression on the former, Qiangu Qingfeng immediately guessed her thoughts...

He couldn't help but speak up to remind her, "Pagoda Master, if you want Gu Yue to take the position, you'll have to wait until her soul power rank reaches at least Title Douluo or even the Super Douluo Level, which is not something that can be achieved within a few years!"

"So, during this time, you should faithfully fulfill your duties as the Pagoda Master!"

Leng Yaozhu glared at her predecessor, "Aren't I always considering the Spirit Pagoda? But Vice Pagoda Master, how do you think I compare with the previous Pagoda Masters?"

Qiangu Qingfeng swallowed hard, "Magoda Master, do you want to hear the truth or flattery?"

Leng Yaozhu replied unflinchingly, "Of course the truth!"

She had once been the Vice Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda; she knew very well that the Spirit Pagoda's development to its current state couldn't have happened without the contributions of previous Pagoda Masters like Qiangugu Dongfeng!

Compared with them, she felt rather incompetent!

Qiangu Qingfeng's mouth twitched slightly, "For that question, I believe, Pagoda Master, you already have the answer in your heart!"

Leng Yaozhu's face darkened, "I'm still the current Pagoda Master, can't the Vice Pagoda Master say something nice for a change?"

Qiangu Qingfeng paused for a moment, then pondered carefully...

"Although the achievements you have made since taking office have been mediocre, there are also very bright spots..."

Leng Yaozhu quickly asked, "Such as?"

The former articulated every word, "You have cultivated Gu Yue, and have not become entangled with the Holy Spirit Cult..."

...

After the meeting in Sea God's Pavilion, Xu Sheng went to the Inner Court, where he happened to meet Wu Changkong...

The latter seemed to have already known about his arrival, so he didn't seem too surprised...

Xu Sheng didn't dwell on that point, but curiously asked, "Teacher Wu, how is the situation at Shrek's Inner Court nowadays?"

Wu Changkong glanced at him and earnestly replied, "Aside from the last batch that has graduated, there are currently about twenty students in the Inner Court, almost all at the rank of Soul King or Soul Emperor!"

"Although it cannot compare to the past, it is visibly growing stronger!"

Xu Sheng nodded, "I see, then it looks like in a few years, the Inner Court should truly start to develop"

After all, at the peak of the Inner Court, there were only about fifty or sixty students!

Wu Changkong's tone suddenly changed, "Actually, Elder Xu, I have already roughly guessed about your situation!"

These words caused Xu Sheng's pupils to constrict, "Oh? Feel free to share your thoughts, Teacher Wu!"
