—------------------—
As Gu Yue's words fell, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's welcoming team instinctively made way, highlighting Feng Zaixing.
Suddenly becoming the center of attention, Feng Zaixing's expression paused slightly, then he revealed a generous smile and nodded, saying:
"I once received guidance from Your Esteemed Teacher, so an exchange would naturally be excellent. We can slowly spar and learn from each other."
With that, he half-turned and greeted Leng Yaozhu from a distance: "Leng Pagoda Master, I hope you have been well."
Behind him, Le Zhengyu, Long Chen, and others all spoke up, greeting her in unison.
An unexpected look crossed Leng Yaozhu's beautiful face, and she smiled softly: "I am well. I didn't expect to see you all here; it's a pleasant surprise. Since we've met today, why don't we all come in for a chat?"
As she spoke, she gracefully led Gu Yue forward, inviting everyone into the Pagoda to sit, her gaze particularly fixed on Feng Zaixing.
These Prodigies each possessed unique talents and backgrounds, and even she could not underestimate them. Though she couldn't bring them into the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, she could at least befriend them.
"Very well, Junior also has some matters I wish to consult Your Majesty, the Heavenly Phoenix, about."
Feng Zaixing smiled and accepted, inviting everyone to come along.
Mu Chen and the other Tianhai Alliance members looked surprised and strange. Surprised by the extensive network of the younger generation, and strange that their importance in Leng Yaozhu's heart was less than these Juniors... It was a real-life example of the old dying on the beach, quite awkward.
Mu Chen noticed his daughter quietly blending into Feng Zaixing's group, following Leng Yaozhu's steps, and a fleeting look of relief flashed in his eyes.
Inside the Pagoda, both parties drank tea and reminisced, quickly shifting from old memories to business.
"The business you mentioned, Young Friend Feng, is about asking me for information on Evil Soul Masters?"
Leng Yaozhu set down her teacup, looking at him with a wry smile, "Doesn't the military have its own intelligence?"
This young man, has he become obsessed with killing Evil Soul Masters? The Tang Sect's Douluo Hall barely finds a few in a year.
"Yes, we do, but the efficiency isn't enough."
Feng Zaixing put down his strong tea, sighed, and said seriously:
"On the way here, Junior followed an intelligence line from the Central Intelligence Office, crossing half the continent to catch only eight Evil Soul Masters. These guys are really good at hiding."
"Although this matter is presumptuous, eradicating Evil Soul Masters is a common aspiration for all our major powers, so I have no choice but to shamelessly bring this up to the Pagoda Master."
"I believe we can engage in deeper cooperation on these matters."
Yuanen Yehui respectfully sat at the end, her proper posture making her seem like a small transparent figure, thinking to herself, 'Class Leader, you didn't just catch eight Evil Soul Masters, you flayed them alive.'
Leng Yaozhu frowned slightly and shook her head gently: "This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by my word alone. Allow me to ask, is this your personal idea, or does it represent certain individuals?"
The Spirit Transfer Pagoda has complex factions, and the Phoenix Family is only the strongest among them. Besides the dominant Qiangu Family, there are many other deeply rooted existences.
Leng Yaozhu admired Feng Zaixing, but if she agreed to such a major matter impulsively, it would be irresponsible to the entire Family.
Feng Zaixing placed both hands on the table, took out two different-looking tokens, and said seriously: "Junior can represent the Angel Family and the Body Sect."
Leng Yaozhu's gaze fell, and she couldn't help but be surprised, "The Le Family's Sacred Angel Token? Have they already decided your position?"
Leng Yaozhu directly ignored the Body Token. Although the Body Sect had one Four-Word Battle Armor Master, it was only one.
But the Sacred Angel Token, Leng Yaozhu had to take seriously; this was a token that only successive Clan Chiefs and Young Clan Chiefs could control.
The fact that Feng Zaixing could produce it spoke volumes.
Gu Yue sat obediently beside her teacher, her dark eyes scanning the ancient token, her heart and gaze equally turbulent.
As expected of the human that fool couldn't forget. It was worth rushing here personally after learning of his change in location.
He possessed significant utilization value.
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Phoenix, can understand it this way: in this generation, Junior is a leading Prodigy."
Feng Zaixing responded to Leng Yaozhu's question with steady, strong words, frankly admitting his extraordinary status in the Angel Family.
As for becoming the Clan Chief, he hadn't really thought about it, because this token was forced upon him by Le Zhengyang.
Le Zheng'en was in his prime, and could continue for decades without issue. His current career focus was also not with the Southern Legion.
"I also know that the Spirit Transfer Pagoda is filled with factions, so the cooperation I propose is limited to the Phoenix Family."
Tapping the table lightly, Feng Zaixing smiled warmly and said slowly: "After all, our previous cooperation was also very pleasant."
Leng Yaozhu's expression momentarily became unnatural, then quickly returned to normal, and she nodded slightly.
"Indeed."
The so-called previous cooperation was, of course, when the Angel Family presented evidence of Leng Yulai colluding with the Ma Family, exchanging silence for the Phoenix Family's absolute support for the Federation.
Bringing up old matters now, Feng Zaixing believed the other party was smart enough to understand his unspoken meaning:
I, Feng, don't expect you to righteously eliminate your kin and personally expose the Dark Phoenix, but providing some information on Evil Soul Masters through certain clues isn't too much to ask, is it?
I, Feng, don't believe that after Leng Yulai left, your Phoenix Family truly had no knowledge of her situation; that would be underestimating a top Family too much.
"Then, what will our Phoenix Family gain?"
Leng Yaozhu scrutinized his still somewhat youthful and handsome face, vaguely feeling she understood why the Le Family valued him.
To converse so freely with a Four-Word Battle Armor Master like herself was not something an ordinary Genius could do.
"Your Majesty is righteous and highly respected. This Junior has meager assets, and nothing good enough to catch Your Majesty's eye. I wonder what this esteemed Disciple of yours needs?"
Feng Zaixing immediately put on a bitter face, shifting the topic to Gu Yue beside him.
"Previously, Young Miss Gu proposed an exchange of Cultivation. I, Feng, have no objection. I wonder what else Young Miss Gu needs? I, Feng, will do my best to satisfy her, so as not to waste Your Esteemed Teacher's efforts."
As he spoke, Feng Zaixing's mouth curved into a very eager smile, and he made a show of cupping his hands in greeting towards Gu Yue.
Seeing this, Long Chen, Xu Miao, Wang Wen, and others familiar with Feng Zaixing all smiled.
Speaking to people in their own language, to ghosts in theirs, the Boss always had a trick up his sleeve.
Gu Yue, who was planning how to drain Feng Zaixing of his value, suddenly found herself pulled into the situation, her expression momentarily freezing.
Just as she was pondering how to regain the initiative, Leng Yaozhu's soft voice sounded in her ear.
"Gu Yue, Zaixing is a leading Prodigy of the younger generation in this era; I've told you this before."
Leng Yaozhu looked tenderly at her proud Disciple, believing she understood Feng Zaixing's unspoken meaning—you help us find Evil Soul Masters, and we will help the next generation of the Phoenix Family take power.
This was very clever; the young man was very sensible, saying exactly what she wanted to hear. Leng Yaozhu's lips curved into a gentle, shimmering arc.
Neither she nor her sister had heirs. The direct line of the Phoenix Family was broken, and there were no outstanding talents in the collateral lines, so she could only place the Family's heavy responsibilities on her student.
Gu Yue would face many difficulties if she wanted to take power in the future, but with the support of Feng Zaixing and his group, the path would be much smoother.
"Hmm... I personally have long admired the reputation of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. After this, I would like to study at your Academy for a period. Can Senior Student Feng introduce me?"
Although Feng Zaixing's initiative was unexpected, this was exactly the outcome Gu Yue wanted. The cunning Gu Yue immediately seized the opportunity, proposing a further request.
To get close to the other party, utilize the other party, and finally control the other party. She believed that with such effort, she could easily reach the pinnacle of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
And she could also shatter that idiot's Dao Heart. If that idiot saw her good 'brother' being played in her palm, he would surely cry and be devoured by her... 'Hmm, plan successful!'
Her Majesty, the Silver Dragon King, mentally reviewed her plan, as if she could already see the day she would strategically control the world with her wisdom.
"What's an introduction? Young Miss Gu is looking down on me, Feng. We'll handle the enrollment procedures right now, please!"
As if to show his sincerity in cooperation, Feng Zaixing 'slapped' down an enrollment form, complete with pen and ink, and handed it to the flattered Gu Yue.
No precautions at all. This King won't be polite.
A delightful thought arose in her heart, and Gu Yue's slender hand quickly picked up the pen, writing with a rustle.
Feng Zaixing observed the elegant young woman, a smile lingering on his face.
It seems the Six Stars Association can look forward to an upgrade.
At the end of the table, the small transparent figure, classmate Yuanen Yehui, silently turned her swan-like white neck, unable to bear looking at the elegant young woman who was signing with such eagerness and a smile in her eyes.
Feng Zaixing had made his move, and another innocent, naive young woman was led astray.
Yuanen Yehui, considering herself experienced, believed she understood Feng Zaixing's methods. He wouldn't look down on you because you were a girl, but he also wouldn't treat you like a girl; as long as it led to becoming stronger, he would do whatever it took.
In his eyes, everyone who followed him was a Junior, with no other concept.
When there was external danger, this Boss was the most reliable; when there was no external danger, he was the biggest danger.
"Alas, girls these days are so easy to trick..."
Yuanen Yehui sighed softly in her heart, then picked up a small notebook and rustled as she jotted down what she had witnessed, the title boldly proclaiming "Silly Gu Yue."
