Chương 2698: Chapter 2683: Change of Attitude_1
Upon reaching the interior of the academy, Tang Yuehua glanced at Xue Qinghe beside her and whispered softly, "Crown Prince, based on the earlier situation, your relationship with Xu Sheng seems to be more than just that of a master and servant, doesn't it?"
Xue Qinghe's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked in return, "What makes you say that, Chief Tang?"
Tang Yuehua answered truthfully, "Because Xu Sheng does not seem to have that much respect for you, and your conversations with each other, they seem as if between friends!"
Xue Qinghe did not deny it but instead revealed a hint of a smile, "You are indeed Chief Tang, your observations are very meticulous. Xu Sheng indeed is not just my servant, he is also a rare friend!"
"Additionally… His Majesty the Emperor also wants to draw him in,"
The latter sentence was deliberately said for the former to hear!
Sure enough, Tang Yuehua tried to dig for more information, "Are you saying… His Majesty the Emperor wants that Xu Sheng to work for the Tiandou Empire?"
It must be something special about Xu Sheng that caught the attention of Emperor Xue Ye!
Suddenly, Xue Qinghe came to a stop, changing his previous demeanor, "Chief Tang, you usually do not inquire about such matters, why are you so interested in Xu Sheng's affairs today?"
Tang Yuehua was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Xue Qinghe to ask her this question…
"This… because Xu Sheng is very suitable to join our Court Etiquette Academy. Everything about him has pleased me since he entered the academy!"
Xue Qinghe also expressed agreement, "If you are pleased with him, Chief Tang, it seems Xu Sheng indeed has a talent in this area. I will inquire on your behalf later!"
"Perhaps, he could even become a student at the Court Etiquette Academy!"
Tang Yuehua did not show any excitement, "Then I thank you, Crown Prince!"
Such statements are usually just polite words!
Nobody takes them seriously!
While the two were conversing, a girl approached from the opposite direction and, after giving Xue Qinghe a blink, interjected, "Chief Tang, brother, what are you two discussing?"
Tang Yuehua looked at her and explained softly, "Princess Xue Ke, you've arrived at just the right time. I was discussing with the Crown Prince about an outstanding boy who recently joined the Court Etiquette Academy."
With those words said, Xue Qinghe couldn't say much else but supported her claim, "Indeed!"
Princess Xue Ke's eyes immediately lit up with interest, "Oh? An outstanding boy? Is he more outstanding than my brother?"
Xue Qinghe gave an impartial appraisal, "Perhaps, but he is certainly not inferior to me!"
In that instant, Princess Xue Ke's curiosity intensified, and with urgency, she asked, "If brother speaks so highly of him, he must be remarkable. May I meet him?"
Understanding her personality, Xue Qinghe had no choice but to agree...
"Of course, you can. However, you'll need to wait for a while!"
Princess Xue Ke clung to his arm coquettishly, "That's great, I knew brother loved me the most!"
Xue Qinghe, feeling a bit uncomfortable, really wanted to shake her off, but he restrained himself...
Stay calm…
Stay calm, for he was playing the role of Xue Qinghe!
He loved his sister dearly and couldn't do anything to arouse suspicion!
…
Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, battlefield!
Gu Yuena led the ferocious beasts to the scene and before she had a chance to look around, was assaulted by the pungent smell of blood...
She said coldly, "Just as the intelligence reported, most Soul Masters turned into pools of blood under that strange light. Otherwise, the smell of blood wouldn't be so strong!"
Di Tian, standing beside her, commented with an ugly expression, "Although the Holy Spirit Cult has weakened the overall strength of other powers for us, this method is too cruel!!"
Bi Ji added, "Indeed, most Soul Masters died in torment. One can only imagine how desperate they were at that time!"
"Pfft, I think these humans got what they deserved. When they used Soul cannonballs to bombard the soul beasts, they were no less cruel than the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters!"
"You're right, we have no reason to sympathize with humans. Rather, we should learn from the Holy Spirit Cult!"
Gu Yuena's gaze swept coldly over the latter as she reminded, "No, although our goal is to rule over Soul Land, our Soul Beast Clan has a qualitative difference with the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters!"
"We do not torture humans to death!"
The reason for using the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to control the thoughts of Soul Masters was also to avoid unnecessary killing!
The voice of the ferocious beast weakened, as it replied softly, "Yes, my lord..."
Meanwhile, Xie Xie and the other two had also arrived at the battlefield...
Their gaze immediately located Gu Yuena and the others...
Xie Xie waved his hand and called out, "Gu Yue!!"
Hearing the voice, Gu Yuena turned her head to look...
She responded with mild surprise, "Xie Xie, Xiao Yan, Xing Lan..."
As Xie Xie and the others were about to step forward, they were blocked by Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts...
Seeing this, Xie Xie said with an annoyed face, "What's stopping us? Don't you know our relationship with Gu Yue?"
Xu Xiaoyan pulled him back slightly, reminding, "Xie Xie, don't forget, Di Tian and the others are ferocious beasts!"
Ye Xinglan also agreed, "Yeah, our mission here is to support Wulin; we should not provoke trouble rashly!"
Moreover, the Gu Yuena they knew now was not the Gu Yue they had originally known...
As the master of the Spirit Pagoda, her stance was very unclear; it was better for them to maintain some distance!
Xie Xie retorted nonchalantly, "Afraid of what? Gu Yue is also a soul beast, isn't she? But that doesn't affect our friendship between us!"
"You agree, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan and Ye Xinglan chose silence...
Gu Yuena, having witnessed all this, felt a surge of sorrow in her heart...
Then, with an indifferent tone, she said, "If there's anything, we can talk about it later. Let's go!"
After speaking, she disappeared from sight along with Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts...
Watching their retreating figures, Xie Xie wanted to cry out to stop them but he couldn't bring himself to say it...
He just stood there with a vacant expression...
Xu Xiaoyan and Ye Xinglan, seeing his demeanor, naturally felt unwell too...
"Xie Xie, we understand how you feel, but Gu Yue has changed; she is not the same as before. We can't be careless!"
"Yes, as the master of the Spirit Pagoda, she has expanded the number of Soul Masters to such a terrifying extent that she might very well become our enemy in the future,"
Xie Xie forced a smile, "I understand, I have always understood..."
His prior actions were merely an attempt to see what weight the Shrek Seven Monsters held for Gu Yuena...
In the end, he got his answer...
Gu Yue was no longer Gu Yue, but the current Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yuena!
That meant, when they met again in the future, they would have to guard against each other as if facing an enemy!
After shaking his head to calm his mind, he said with a solemn expression, "Let's go, I can sense that Wulin is fighting against an extremely powerful opponent."
"We can talk about Gu Yue's matter later!"
