Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

Chapter 579 Ye Guyi's Heart Knot
Every year, people are sent to remote villages across the mainland to awaken their martial spirits. It is obvious that the cost is far less than the benefits, but in Huo Yuhao's eyes, this is a particularly cost-effective deal.

Just as Ye Guyi was still thinking, he was suddenly stunned, and then a feeling of guilt rose in his heart.

What Huo Yuhao said seemed to be the fastest and most direct way to detect the appearance of evil spirit masters in the first place. However, after hearing it, she immediately thought about how much money it would cost and whether it could pay off.

This utilitarian idea seemed to overshadow the justice in my heart for a moment.

Ye Guyi shook his head and agreed more with Huo Yuhao's approach.

“Come to think of it, having you join me has really helped me a lot.” Huo Yuhao suddenly said with emotion.

Ye Guyi was a little surprised. After all, she hadn't done anything yet: "Why?"

"Many evil spirits will show abnormalities when their spirits awaken, causing these people to be regarded as monsters and suffer discrimination."

"But if there are owners of holy angel spirits to vouch for them and prove that their spirits are not evil, it can largely erase the prejudice in people's minds."

"Besides me, you are probably the only one who is most sensitive to their auras. I plan to set up a department in the future to be fully responsible for the awakening of martial spirits across the continent. You will use your sacred power to guide all young spirit masters onto the right path and prevent them from going astray. Are you willing to join?"

Huo Yuhao extended an invitation to Ye Guyi with a smile.

"I do." Ye Guyi said without hesitation.

Huo Yuhao's few short words made her extremely excited. At this moment, she felt a sense of mission and responsibility.

"So...what should I do?"

Her tone was confused, yet excited.

"There is no specific job suitable for you now, but Mingdou Academy has abundant cultivation resources. Whether it is a soul master or a soul instructor, it is enough for you to cultivate to the top level."

Huo Yuhao was not in a hurry to assign a position to Ye Guyi, as the department he had conceived earlier would take a long time to establish.

For all the major forces, strong men like Ye Guyi are hired as external servants. They are basically high-level thugs and rarely participate in the core management.

But Huo Yuhao didn’t care about these. Although he was not very familiar with Ye Guyi, he believed that the justice in her heart was pure.

"Okay." Ye Guyi nodded seriously. She also trusted Huo Yuhao.

Just by looking at the other party's plan to completely eliminate the evil soul master, she was willing to believe that the other party was not a bad person.

"Um, Huo Yuhao, can I ask you a question?" Ye Guyi suddenly asked in confusion.

"what is the problem?"

"What is your identity in the Sun-Moon Empire?"

Ye Guyi finally asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

Her overall understanding of Huo Yuhao basically came from rumors. Huo Yuhao was still very young when he shined in the Soul Master Competition. When she was in Shrek, she also heard some information about Huo Yuhao's past from Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er.

But when Ye Guyi returned to Mingdu this time, he found that the name Huo Yuhao had suddenly become a taboo in Mingdu.

He suddenly transformed himself into a popular figure around the new emperor, with a status comparable to that of the cabinet's chief minister Jing Hongchen, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Whether joining Mingde Hall or Mingdou Academy, it seemed that it was all up to him to decide.

But no one can tell clearly who Huo Yuhao is. Many officials are very secretive about him. There are rumors that the destruction of several major underground forces in Mingdu was caused by him.

This added a touch of mystery to Huo Yuhao and made Ye Guyi extremely curious.

“To the outside world, you can assume that I am…” Huo Yuhao paused for a few seconds and said nonchalantly, “Executive Vice Emperor.”

Ye Guyi was obviously stunned after hearing this. Although he didn't know what the first two words meant, he could call himself the vice emperor. How much contempt for the imperial power was this?
What surprised her even more was Huo Yuhao’s attitude. When he said these words, his expression was very calm. He didn’t seem arrogant or superior, as if this was a very common position.

After waiting for the meaning of this word to be fully understood, Ye Guyi asked again, “You said this is for the outside world, what about for the inside world?” Huo Yuhao made a brisk nasal sound and said leisurely, “It’s correct.”

After saying that, without waiting for Ye Guyi to recover from his shock, he said again: "Come with me, I will take you to meet the deans."

Under the leadership of Huo Yuhao, Ye Guyi met with several deans of the two departments of Mingdou College one after another.

Du Bu Si happened to be in the academy today. When he saw Ye Guyi for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He still had some impression of this girl who had followed Shrek Academy, but he didn't expect that she had grown so fast after not seeing her for more than half a year.

The Body Sect focuses on the cultivation of mental strength and combat skills, and Ye Guyi has now achieved some success in this regard.

Although her soul power had not improved much, Ye Guyi had already comprehended her own unique combat skills and path, which meant that she would be able to reach an astonishing height in the future.

Moreover, Du Bu Si also vaguely felt that Ye Guyi's aura was somewhat similar to that of Moon's "ruling the world" back then.

In terms of soul guidance, Ye Guyi did not hide his experiences in Pingfan League and Shrek from Ye Yulin and Xuan Ziwen. After showing them a little, his talent in soul guidance devices was praised by the two.

The joining of a strong person is of course a good thing for a big power, but not everyone in a big power is willing to accept it. In addition to his talent, what is more important is that Ye Guyi has a clean background and is the most suitable foreign talent to be recruited and trained.

Otherwise, no force would be willing to be the scapegoat after wasting resources to cultivate a genius for most of his life, only to find that the genius is always concerned with other forces.

After hesitating for a while, Ye Guyi still showed Ye Yulin and the others her own unique soul guide with sacred attributes, the long sword Holy Judgment and a flying soul guide. The perfectly matched attributes allowed her to exert strength far beyond her usual level.

This was created for her by Qian Duoduo with all his efforts when she was in Shrek Academy. Even Ye Yulin and the others couldn't help but praise it, and they had an even higher opinion of the name Qian Duoduo from Shrek.

As for the reason for leaving Shrek, Ye Guyi was not very willing to reveal it, and Huo Yuhao also asked Ye Yulin not to ask any more questions.

Ye Yulin and Xuan Ziwen didn't say anything more. They both agreed to provide him with a special area and sufficient supply of rare metals in the experimental zone through his status as a specially appointed researcher. As for the subsequent rewards, it would depend on Ye Guyi's performance and results.

Now the experimental area of ​​Mingdou College is not busy, there are not many students, the teachers focus on classroom teaching, and various major research projects have not yet been carried out on a large scale. Ye Guyi can choose a good location.

Although he was valued by Mingdou Academy, Ye Guyi's expression was always a little gloomy as he stood in the experimental area, looking at the abundant rare metals on the table.

Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Guyi's unhappy expression and noticed that his eyes were always fixed on the long sword. He sighed, "As expected of Dean Qian, his skills are getting better and better. I wonder who between him and Brother Yu will be able to break through to the ninth-level soul master first."

He also missed some of his acquaintances at Shrek. Fan Yu was young, progressed quickly, and had good talent, so he was considered to have a better chance of breaking through to the ninth-level soul master faster. But Qian Duoduo had a higher level of cultivation, so it was not impossible for him to be one step ahead of Fan Yu.

Ye Guyi still said nothing.

“What’s wrong with you?” Huo Yuhao could sense Ye Guyi’s sad mood swings.

Ye Guyi said in a low voice: "I was thinking, Dean Qian and Dean Lin'er were so good to me and placed so much hope on me, but I left without saying goodbye and did not repay them at all."

“But I don’t dare to go back to Shrek to see them. When I think of this, I will think of the beast tide back then. Many people did not die in the attacks of soul beasts, but…”

Whenever Ye Guyi recalled Ma Xiaotao's loss of control and Yan Shaozhe's last words to her, she would shudder all over. Those innocent people who turned to ashes in the evil fire constantly challenged her path of justice.

But she couldn't help missing Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo. She had no time to repay their trust, care and cultivation. The eighth-level soul guide in her hand was not only expensive, but also condensed Qian Duoduo's almost lifelong learning.

But Ye Guyi just left like that without even leaving a message for the two of them.

Ye Guyi looked sad, not knowing what to say if he saw the two of them again in the future.

If Xian Lin'er scolded her, she would feel better. But if Xian Lin'er cried in front of her and asked her why she left, Ye Guyi didn't know what to say to comfort the old woman.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly broke the silence and asked a few questions casually: "What do you think of the laboratory here compared to Shrek? Can Dean Qian and the others get used to it?"

Ye Guyi looked up in confusion, as if he had not heard Huo Yuhao's question clearly.

"It's okay, I just said it casually."
