Chapter 191: Long-lasting Doubts
Just when Xiao Hongchen was feeling relieved, everyone at Shrek, except Xu Xingyu and other people from the Soul Contracting Pagoda, were obviously feeling sorry for the fact that Teacher Wang Yan was unable to buy the ferocious beast soul for Shrek.
After all, this is a fierce beast! Once a student is favored by the opponent, he can fuse with a fierce beast-level soul and obtain a fierce beast-level soul bone.
There is almost no one in this world who would not be tempted by such a luxurious configuration! Even the Qiling Tower, which sells the souls of fierce beasts, would not be tempted by this.
On the way back, Xu Xingyu was pestered by Wang Yan, asking for information like when the Qi Ling Tower would be ready to sell the souls of ferocious beasts and whether Shrek could give a discount.
In response, Xu Xingyu told Wang Yan to shut up, saying that such matters must be discussed with the tower master. After all, no one likes to be harassed.
It was at this time that Xu Xingyu's communicator rang, so Xu Xingyu went directly to the back of the team to prevent others from peeking, and began to check the messages on the communicator.
The message on the message board was from Gu Yuena, saying that she had just received the money from selling the souls of ferocious beasts from Xingluo. At the same time, Xingluo was going to have a dinner party in a few days and wanted to invite Gu Yuena and Xu Xingyu to attend. Gu Yuena asked Xu Xingyu what he thought about this.
According to the message sent by Gu Yuena, the so-called dinner should be held the day after the semi-finals.
If Xu Xingyu remembers correctly, the enemies of the top four of Shilaike in the original work were the Xingluo Royal Family. I wonder if there will be any changes this time?
But it doesn't hurt to participate at this time, but I don't know what Xingluo is planning.
After some thought, Xu Xingyu decided to attend the dinner hosted by Xingluo with Gu Yuena. After all, given Xu Xingyu's relationship with the Xingluo Empire, they wouldn't harm him, right?
Little did they know that Xingluo also had its own plans for this dinner, but Xu Xingyu would only know it when she got there.
At the same time, in a hall of the Starlight Auction House.
After Gu Yuena finished reading the communicator in her hand, she said to Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu in front of her, "Xingyu agreed. Xingyu and I will both be present at this dinner."
Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "Thank you and your disciples for attending the dinner we prepared. And this is the money your soul earned this time. The relevant handling fees have been deducted from it. Please take a look."
After saying that, he handed a golden card to Gu Yuena. After checking the result with her mental power, Gu Yuena directly put it in the storage ring. Then, after saying goodbye, she turned around and left, taking Bai Xiu Xiu beside her.
However, at the moment when Gu Yuena was about to leave, Xu Jiawei shouted, "Wait a minute, sir."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena stopped in her tracks, wanting to hear what else the ruler of the Xing Luo Empire wanted to say to her.
Seeing that Gu Yuena had stopped, Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "We still have some treasures that have not been bid for at the Xingguang Auction House. If you are willing, I can introduce them to you. If there is anything that catches your eye, we can discuss it."
Gu Yuena just shook her head and said, "I have other things to take care of tonight. Next time when we have time, Xiao Xingyu and I will go sightseeing together."
After saying that, Gu Yuena took Bai Xiu Xiu's hand and left the Starlight Auction House.
After Gu Yuena and the other person disappeared, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but sigh, while Xu Jiujiu beside him teased, "Why was your majesty's charm completely ignored this time?"
Xu Jiawei smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, there is nothing we can do. After all, such a genius must be arrogant and have a sharp eye. Someone like me who focuses on managing the country will not be in his eyes."
As the master of the Qi Ling Tower, Gu Yuena, with her unparalleled beauty, will definitely be pursued by countless powerful people.
If it weren't for her Extreme Douluo strength that intimidated most of the people who wanted to win Gu Yuena's heart, she would definitely be confessed to by countless people every day, and Xu Jiawei was one of those suitors.
Of course, in addition to being attracted by Gu Yuena's beauty, Xu Jiawei also wanted to strengthen the relationship between the Xingluo Empire and the Qi Ling Tower.
Although the business cooperation between Qi Ling Tower and Xing Luo Empire is still very close, this kind of wine cannot make him feel at ease.
If possible, he wanted the Qi Ling Pagoda to directly become the state religion of their Xing Luo Empire. This way, he could not only repel the Sun Moon Empire, but also counterattack the Sun Moon Empire, and then directly take down the two empires that were watching, allowing the Xing Luo Empire to realize its dream of unifying the continent that was blocked by the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago.
Fortunately, his sister has already entered into an engagement with the young master of the Qi Ling Tower. Although to some extent it can be regarded as directly marrying his sister off and expelling the other party from the house, the relationship between the Xing Luo Empire and the Qi Ling Tower is no longer a simple business relationship.
Of course, Xu Jiawei would be happy if they could be closer.
It is a pity that Gu Yuena already has someone in her heart. A long time ago, she swore to her lover that everything she has will always belong to the person she loves deeply.
So those suitors can only think about it.
There is no way around it. Gu Yuena's beauty is at the level of a goddess, so it is inevitable that she will be pursued, even by someone like Xu Jiawei, the ruler of a country.
However, Gu Yuena would directly reject every suitor, and those who tried to pester her would be defeated by her.
This also forces those pursuers to give up their thoughts, perhaps their dreams can only be realized in the dream world.
While Xu Jiawei was still thinking about how to establish a closer relationship between the Xingluo Empire and the Qi Ling Tower, Xu Jiujiu was puzzled by some of Gu Yuena's actions.
At this moment, Xu Jiujiu thought about when she greeted Gu Yuena before. She wanted to address the other party as teacher based on her engagement with Xu Xingyu.
As a result, the other party said that she could just call her Sister Nana, and said that Xu Xingyu also called her that.
The problem is that the master has such a close relationship with his disciple. When I met Xu Xingyu before, I also felt that the relationship between them was a little too close.
Basically, Xu Xingyu would be present whenever Gu Yuena appeared. It was the same when Xu Jiawei invited Gu Yuena to a dinner party before. She did not agree immediately, but instead sent a message to Xu Xingyu asking him if he wanted to go.
This behavior gave Xu Jiujiu the illusion that Gu Yuena and Xu Xingyu were an engaged couple.
If this is true, then Xu Jiujiu has finally understood who is the head of this big family. It seems that he can no longer treat Gu Yuena as a mere teacher. Even if the relationship between the two has not reached that level, it is probably not far off.
This is another love rival that you need to be wary of, but you can also make friends with.
