Chapter 319 Huo Yuhao: Results will be achieved within a year!
Watching Leng Yaozhu's figure disappear outside the door, Qian Gu Dongfeng's face finally turned completely gloomy.
He no longer concealed it, nor did he need to.
That handsome face was now twisted and contorted with rage, his eyes twitching slightly, his lips pressed into a cold, straight line, and his gaze filled with malice and violence.
The side door next to the office opened silently a crack, and a middle-aged man with an extremely ordinary appearance walked out quietly.
Given Leng Yaozhu's cultivation level, the fact that she hadn't discovered the person hiding here just now shows that this person is definitely not simple.
He stood with his hands at his sides in front of Qian Gu Dong Feng's desk, not daring to utter a sound.
Qian Gu Dongfeng's breathing was rapid and heavy, his voice low and hoarse: "What's going on? Are all the Holy Spirit Cult members useless? How come they can't even handle two teenagers?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man felt a sudden tremor in his heart, and a layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out from his back.
He had followed Qian Gu Dong Feng for many years and knew the temperament of this tower master well.
He quickly lowered his head even further, carefully choosing each word, and cautiously replied, "The Holy Spirit Cult must have gone all out this time; even a being like the Sky-Supporting Douluo has fallen."
"As for Gu Yue and Huo Yuhao, they most likely hid inside the Sea God Pavilion and survived thanks to the protection of the Golden Tree."
He paused, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat that had unknowingly seeped from his forehead, and continued with a forced smile: "If it weren't for Tianfeng Douluo's timely arrival, the Holy Spirit Cult would not have survived today with the two additional fixed-position soul-guided shells they fired at the end of the attack."
Qian Gu Dongfeng remained silent for a moment, the ferocity on his face gradually subsided, and he regained his unfathomable gloom.
His fingers tapped the table unconsciously, making a series of dull, rhythmic taps.
Leng Yaozhu was absolutely right. The reason he chose to make his move today was to use the Holy Spirit Sect as a tool to eliminate Leng Yaozhu and her two monstrously talented disciples.
His grandson, Qian Gu Zhangting, had completely failed in his pursuit of Gu Yue. Since he couldn't "lure" Gu Yue away, he had no choice but to eliminate the threat completely.
This should have been a perfect scheme to use someone else to do the dirty work, but unfortunately it ultimately failed.
Ultimately, however, Gu Yue and Huo Yuhao are just two juniors who have not yet grown up and cannot cause any great trouble. They will have plenty of opportunities to make their move in the future.
Yun Ming is dead; that's the greatest gain.
Thinking of this, Qian Gu Dongfeng suppressed the resentment in his heart and asked coldly again, "Are you sure all those old guys from Shrek Academy are dead?"
The middle-aged man dared not speak too definitively, but facing Qian Gu Dongfeng's cold, knife-like gaze, he could only steel himself and reply in a deep voice, "Shrek Academy may have a few lucky survivors, but definitely not many."
"Given the way those people at Shrek Academy behave, for the sake of their so-called Shrek pride, those elders, teachers, and strong individuals would definitely not hide behind the students when the shells are falling."
"As you have seen, Yun Ming perished because of this. Even if one or two were lucky enough to survive, they would certainly be seriously injured and are not worth fearing."
Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Dong Feng remained silent for a moment, clearly pondering every aspect of the matter and any potential flaws.
After a moment, he slowly spoke: "Immediately clean up all the loose ends. You know how to arrange things for the non-core personnel involved in this operation."
"Immediately afterward, an emergency notice was issued in the name of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, expressing the Spirit Pagoda's sorrow over the attacks on Shrek Academy and Tang Sect headquarters. From this day forward, the Spirit Pagoda will do everything in its power to cooperate with the Federation in combating evil spirit masters and will show no leniency."
"At the same time, special funds and materials were allocated to provide full assistance to the victims of the Shrek City disaster and their families, and to help the survivors rebuild their homes."
"Remember, make the right gesture and create a great deal of momentum so that the entire continent can see that the Spirit Pagoda is on the side of justice in this catastrophe."
"Yes, I will do it immediately."
The middle-aged man bowed and accepted the order. After Qian Gu Dong Feng waved his hand expressionlessly, he quietly left the room as if he had been granted a pardon.
After leaving Qian Gu Dong Feng's office, Leng Yao Zhu stood for a moment in front of the floor-to-ceiling window at the end of the corridor.
Suppressing the surging anger in her chest, and waiting until the frost on her face melted a little, she sent someone to summon Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue to her office.
After the three of them took their seats, the chilling aura emanating from Leng Yaozhu, which had almost frozen the air, finally subsided, and her expression gradually softened.
Huo Yuhao had been observing Leng Yaozhu's expression. After a slight hesitation, he asked, "Aunt Leng, you just—went to see the Tower Master?"
Leng Yaozhu was not surprised that Huo Yuhao could guess her whereabouts so quickly.
This disciple was meticulous and insightful, far surpassing ordinary people. She had nothing to hide from the two children she had raised, so she simply nodded.
"You all witnessed the scale of this attack by the Holy Spirit Cult. There were not just three or five fixed-mount soul-guided shells, but hundreds of them, including those two level-12 god-killing shells that should have been sealed in the Federation's secret arsenal."
"It would be absolutely impossible to transport so many soul-guided cannonballs into Shrek City without inside help."
"Moreover, the Holy Spirit Cult's attack this time only targeted Shrek Academy and Tang Sect headquarters, while the Spirit Pagoda was completely unharmed, which is abnormal in itself. Therefore, I suspect that Qian Gu Dong Feng was involved in this matter."
Leng Yaozhu raised her eyes to look at her two prized disciples opposite her. She no longer regarded them as ignorant children, so she did not intend to hide this matter, but to bring it out into the open and discuss it with them.
Leng Yaozhu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Qian Gu Dongfeng is very ambitious and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals."
"This time he went to such great lengths, even colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult to launch this attack. His target is not just Shrek Academy; he also wants to use the Holy Spirit Cult to eliminate both of you."
Without Leng Yaozhu needing to explain further, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue instantly understood the crux of the matter.
Gu Yue's expression darkened slightly, a cold glint flashing in her purple eyes as she asked, "So what do we do next?"
Leng Yaozhu looked at her: "I've already gone to see him. I made things clear to him just now, so he probably won't dare to attack you again anytime soon."
"The best thing about him is his ability to be patient and pretend; he won't take any risks unless he's absolutely certain."
She paused, then added, "But you also need to be prepared. Gu Yue, you need to improve your strength as soon as possible. I will arrange the assessment for you as a prospective Spirit Transmission Envoy in my capacity as the Deputy Tower Master."
"Once you obtain the status of a prospective Spirit Transmission Envoy, even the Tower Master Qian Gu Dong Feng won't dare to touch you casually. This can be considered a safeguard."
Gu Yue nodded without saying anything more.
But she had already made up her mind that she really needed to improve her strength as soon as possible.
It seems that the situation on this continent has changed too quickly and too much; even a behemoth like Shrek Academy could be wiped out in a single day.
Without sufficient strength to protect herself, she might not even be able to protect herself, let alone complete her original plan.
After giving instructions to Gu Yue, Leng Yaozhu turned her attention to Huo Yuhao.
Her tone was much gentler than before as she asked, "How about you? How's that matter going?"
Huo Yuhao met her gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips, and calmly replied, "There will definitely be results within a year."
.
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's face, which had been tense ever since the attack on Shrek City, finally revealed its first genuine smile.
She nodded, her tone filled with undisguised expectation: "Alright, as long as you can produce tangible research results, I will submit a special application to the council in my capacity as the deputy tower master to exceptionally grant you the status of a Spirit Messenger. There will be absolutely no problem."
Gu Yue, listening from the side, was completely confused. She looked at Leng Yaozhu and then at Huo Yuhao, feeling that there was an unspoken understanding between the two of them, while she was kept in the dark.
However, she quickly remembered what Huo Yuhao had confidently told her before, so she couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, Yuhao, what exactly are you talking about in this research?"
Leng Yaozhu and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance, then turned to look at Gu Yue's curious face. A meaningful smile appeared on their lips as they said in unison, "Keep it a secret for now."
