Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 820 Gu Yuena is furious! A soul beast escort plan?

"Now, it's time for the second group's match."

Commentator Aifei's voice resounded throughout the venue through the soul-guided loudspeakers, as always, with passionate fervor:
"The two contestants who are about to appear – Ye Lan and Nan Fusheng – both entered this competition with an undefeated record of eight wins. This match is sure to be a fierce battle between evenly matched opponents. Let's wait and see!"

As she finished speaking, the passageways on both sides of the arena lit up simultaneously.

Dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, Nan Fusheng stepped steadily onto the arena, his body radiating subtle fluctuations of soul power, clearly indicating that he was fully prepared.

On the other side, Ye Xinglan slowly entered everyone's view, but her figure looked a little thin, and her face was pale.

Just as the audience held their breath, anticipating the start of this intense showdown, Ye Xinglan stepped into the center of the ring and clearly uttered three words: "I concede."

These three simple words, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly caused a huge uproar in the arena.

The audience in the stands were stunned at first, then erupted in an incredulous uproar—no one had expected that this genius player, who had fought his way through the competition and maintained a perfect record, would choose to forfeit before the match even started.

The referee beside the ring frowned slightly, stepped forward, and asked again in a serious tone, "Contestant Ye Lan, are you sure you want to forfeit this match? Once you concede, the result cannot be changed."

Ye Xinglan raised her head, calmly met the referee's gaze, and clearly uttered two words: "Yes."

Her face was still pale, as if even speaking had taken a lot of effort. She paused and added, "The injuries I sustained in the last round of the competition have not yet fully recovered, so it is really not advisable to use my soul power at this moment."

This statement was made frankly, with a hint of helplessness in its tone, which made many viewers believe it to some extent.

Ye Xinglan's opponent in the eighth round was Ao Wuchang, whose Summoning Gate Martial Soul was simply heaven-defying—he could summon three 100,000-year-old soul beasts in one go: a 100,000-year-old Wolf King, a 100,000-year-old Jade Phoenix, and a 100,000-year-old Thorn Dragon King that replaced the Golden Lion Mastiff.

These three soul beasts are all top-tier among soul beasts, especially the Thorn Dragon Emperor. As a powerful sub-dragon species, its strange spatial manipulation ability caused Ye Xinglan a lot of trouble.

In the end, she chose a risky move that risked injury to win—she endured the combined attack of the three soul beasts, using the impact to forcefully break through the blockade, instantly rushing to Ao Wuchang's side and placing the Star God Sword against his neck.

But who would have thought that Ao Wuchang was like a complete madman? At the moment the sword was at his throat, he not only did not admit defeat, but roared with bloodshot eyes, ordering the three 100,000-year-old soul beasts to attack him along with him.

At that moment, Ye Xinglan even wondered if she had an irreconcilable feud with the other party, otherwise why would she have encountered such a mad scramble to destroy everything?
Fortunately, she ultimately succeeded by seizing the perfect moment and destroying Ao Wuchang's martial soul core before the soul beast could launch its attack, thus winning the battle.

But precisely because of this, she suffered severe internal injuries. If it weren't for the Holy Spirit Douluo's intervention and his exquisite healing abilities, she probably wouldn't even be able to stand here.

However, Ye Xinglan naturally wouldn't reveal these inside stories to the public. At this moment, she maintained her pale face precisely to make the audience believe that she had no choice but to admit defeat due to her lingering serious injuries.

After all, the person standing on the other side was her own man, and Ye Xinglan didn't want to fight with him. So she simply used the excuse of not being fully recovered to surrender, which was quite reasonable.

Commentator Aifei clearly accepted this explanation, her tone tinged with regret: "It seems that Ye Lan made this difficult decision because her injury from the last match had not fully healed."

"This is undoubtedly a great disappointment for the audience who were looking forward to this match, but the athlete's physical condition is always the top priority, and we wish Ye Lan a speedy recovery."

Seeing Ye Xinglan's resolute attitude, the referee no longer hesitated, raised his right hand and loudly announced: "Nan Fusheng wins the first match of the second group!"

With the referee's gesture, the match, which hadn't even started, came to an abrupt end.

"Woo~"

In the players' rest area, Ao Wuchang, whose body was wrapped in numerous bandages, saw Ye Xinglan surrender and a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

His efforts were worthwhile; Ye Lan eventually surrendered due to her severe injuries.

(ps: Originally, I wanted to write that Nan Fusheng and Ye Xinglan fought, and then Nan Fusheng accidentally injured Ye Xinglan. Finally, in the ward, the two used their martial soul fusion skill, while outside the door, Xu Lizhi came to visit without noticing.)

However, I later realized that everyone here is a gentleman and might not like this kind of content, so I changed it.
……

The Spirit Pagoda branch of Mingdu.

Qian Gu Die Ting stared at his great-grandson, his aged face filled with an undeniable seriousness: "Zhang Ting, do you really intend to use that item?"

He paused, his tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of dissuasion, "It's just a match, is it worth paying such a price? You should be well aware of the consequences of the backlash from Medusa's Eye."

There was no hesitation on Qian Gu Zhangting's face; instead, there was an almost obsessive stubbornness as he said firmly:

“Yes, great-grandfather, I know the cost better than anyone. But this match is much more than just winning or losing for me—I cannot accept losing Nana.”

Qian Gu Die Ting sighed softly, trying to calm him down: "Silly child, it's just a competition. What does it matter if you lose? With the power of our Qian Gu family, we only need to put a little pressure on Na'er to make her give up all choices in the final selection. Wouldn't the result be the same?"

“No, great-grandfather, this is different.”

Qian Gu Zhangting immediately retorted, his eyes flashing with a burning light, "What I want is a legitimate identity. Over the years, I have tried my best to please Nana, but she has always been indifferent to me."

"I must use this martial arts tournament to force her to accept my feelings, and I must let the whole continent know that Gu Yuena is my wife, Qian Gu Zhangting's wife. This time, I! Don't want to lose again!"

Looking at the unwavering determination in his great-grandson's eyes, Qian Gu Die Ting remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, his tone carrying a hint of approval: "Good, you have ambition! As expected of the bloodline of my Qian Gu clan, you should have this kind of courage to put yourself in a do-or-die situation."

He changed the subject and sighed deeply, "If your grandfather had had your unwavering determination back then, he wouldn't have been stuck in the demigod realm for so many years."

The secret of this ancient clan, the "Unyielding Staff Technique," lies in its unwavering resolve that transcends heaven and earth and is unafraid of life and death.

Years ago, Qian Gu Die Ting was humiliated in front of Long Ye Yue. That slap not only made him lose face but also nearly triggered a full-scale war between the two major forces. Later, he suffered a crushing defeat under the Yun Ming Spear, almost completely disgracing the Qian Gu family.

It was this unforgettable humiliation that ignited his indomitable fighting spirit—after passing on the position of Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower to Qian Gu Dongfeng, he went into seclusion to attempt to become a Quasi-God, vowing not to leave seclusion until he broke through.

It was this awareness of facing death to survive that allowed him to decipher the ultimate secrets of the Panlong Staff Technique and successfully enter the quasi-god realm.

Although he was later shot down by Yun Ming at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, the fault did not lie with him; it was mainly because Yun Ming had gone too far.

In contrast, Qian Gu Dongfeng, despite his exceptional talent for cultivation, has always lacked the courage to take drastic measures, which is why he has stagnated at the demigod level.

Seeing his great-grandson's awareness, Qian Gu Die Ting felt extremely gratified and naturally wanted to give his full support.

"Thank you, Great-Grandpa!"

Upon receiving affirmation, Qian Gu Zhangting was overjoyed. His stubbornness turned into undisguised excitement. He bowed and then turned to leave, his steps light as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

After leaving the secret chamber, the joy on Qian Gu Zhangting's face gradually faded, replaced by a cold, determined expression. He muttered to himself, a hint of ruthlessness in his voice: "Yu Longyue, this time, you are doomed!"

Even though he had no deep-seated hatred for the other party, for the sake of Gu Yuena, whom he longed for, he had already put everything else aside—anyone who stood in his way had to be eliminated.

"Young Master Zhangting."

Just then, a respectful voice sounded from behind. A man dressed in the standard robes of the Spirit Pagoda stood at the end of the corridor, holding a thick stack of documents in his hands. Upon seeing him approach, he immediately bowed in greeting.

"It's Kabuto."

In a good mood, Chigo Jōtei looked at the assistant personally appointed by his grandfather and smiled warmly. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses, pulled out a document from the files, and handed it over: "Young Master Zhangting, do you still remember the 'Star Dou Great Forest Domestication Project'?"

Qian Gu Zhangting took the document and casually flipped through a few pages, his tone somewhat nonchalant: "I remember, isn't this the idea that Fors proposed before? I recall that this project hasn't been launched yet. You came to see me specifically because something has changed?"

"The plan has not yet officially begun,"

Yakushi Kabuto's voice was calm and even, "But the Tower Master has already released some relevant information to the outside world. Now, all the major families in Mingdu have received the news and have sent people to express their intentions, hoping to get involved and get a share of the pie."

He paused, then continued, "I originally wanted to consult the Tower Master, but the Tower Master said that this matter has been fully entrusted to you, so I came here to ask for your opinion."

"So that's what Grandpa meant."

Qian Gu Zhangting understood immediately and realized his grandfather's intention—he clearly wanted him to use this opportunity to accumulate merits and pave the way for his future succession as the tower master.

He looked down at the cooperation terms listed in the document, especially the several "heavy" items involving the use of soul beasts. He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement and admire the audacity of these big families, who dared to even plot against soul beasts.

Qian Gu Zhangting took out his special seal and stamped it at the end of the document. Then he patted Yakushi Kabuto on the shoulder and said in a promising tone, "I'm leaving this matter to you. Do a good job, and you'll get your share of the benefits in the future."

"I obey my orders!"

Kabuto Yakushi's body trembled slightly, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement, and he quickly bowed in response.

"Ah."

Sengoku Jotei nodded in satisfaction, turned and left without noticing that the moment he turned, the always meek Yakushi Kabuto slowly raised his head, a meaningful glint flashing in his eyes behind his glasses.

……

"The winner of the fifth match in the second group is..."

Inside the Mingdu Grand Gymnasium, with the conclusion of the final round of Group 2, today's competition finally came to an end.

"Dear viewers, the top ten contestants for Groups One and Two have been determined. Let's look forward to the matches in Groups Three and Four tomorrow!"

Commentator Aifei's voice remained enthusiastic, while also warming up the crowd for the next day's match.

In the audience, the flow of people leaving was like a slowly moving tide, but it couldn't hide the lingering feelings on their faces.

Today's competition was a feast for both the eyes and the soul, allowing every spectator present to deeply appreciate the weight of the phrase "eye-opening."

Especially in the final round of each group, the contestants, in order to compete for a better ranking and gain an advantageous position in the subsequent competition, all unleashed their hidden skills, which was a real treat for the eyes of the audience.

Inside the contestants' tunnel.

Unlike the excited crowd, the athletes who had just finished their matches were either filled with the joy of victory or the regret of defeat, and were preparing to leave the arena.

Just then, a middle-aged male reporter blocked Nan Fusheng's path.

He wore a monocle over his right eye, his gaze behind the lens revealing a professional sharpness, and his face was plastered with just the right amount of ingratiating smiles. He held a microphone in his hand, and a photographer with a camera on his shoulder was standing by his side, ready to be called at any moment.

"Hello, Mr. Nan Fusheng."

The reporter introduced himself, his tone respectful yet barely concealing his eagerness, "I'm Xiao Meng, a reporter from Mingdu 'Aimeng Media.' Do you have time for a brief interview? Don't worry, it's just a few simple questions and won't take up too much of your time."

Seeing Nan Fusheng hesitate, Xiao Meng quickly added, "The first and second group competitions have now ended, so you must have a moment to spare. Look, the other contestants are being interviewed by various media outlets."

As he spoke, he pointed to the other side of the passage, where several contestants were indeed surrounded by reporters, with flashes going off from time to time, creating another busy scene.

Nan Fusheng looked in the direction he was pointing, and after a moment, he sighed helplessly: "Alright, go ahead and ask."

A barely perceptible glint flashed in Xiao Meng's eyes before she asked, "Contestant Fusheng, did you participate in this martial arts contest to find a husband simply to hone your soul skills and improve your combat abilities, or were you more attracted by the Silver Dragon Princess's beauty?"

Nan Fusheng raised an eyebrow, keenly sensing that the topic seemed a bit strange, but still calmly replied: "The contestants who can participate in this conference are all outstanding talents in the Soul Master world. Competing and exchanging skills with them is a rare opportunity for me to grow."

"I see!"

Xiao Meng immediately picked up a pen and quickly wrote in her notebook, “Nan Fusheng’s meaning is that Princess Yinlong is as beautiful as a flower, and he is determined to win her over, which is why he came to participate in the competition.”

"Hey, what nonsense are you writing!" Upon hearing his words, Nan Fusheng's expression changed slightly. He stopped pretending and quickly retorted, "I didn't say that."

"Then, the next question."

However, Xiao Meng seemed not to hear his rebuttal, and continued to write furiously in her notebook. Then she looked up and asked, "I heard that you are married. I wonder if your wife knows that you are attending this conference?"
Nan Fusheng replied cautiously, "Of course they know, and I participated in this conference with their consent, which is why I did so."

“I see.” The reporter wrote furiously, “Even though he already had a virtuous wife at home, the unsatisfied councilor Fusheng still chose to reach out his claws when he saw Princess Yinlong.”

"What the hell are you writing?!" Upon hearing this, Nan Fusheng immediately glared at him with hostility.

"Hey! Hey! Fusheng, calm down, calm down, don't rush to make a move."

Seeing that Nan Fusheng seemed to be angry, Xiao Meng quickly took two steps back to distance herself from him, and her tone became somewhat cautious, "Let's change the subject. I wonder how confident you are about Princess Silver Dragon's final selection of a husband? Do you think you will be chosen?" "..." This time, Nan Fusheng simply kept quiet and just looked at him without saying a word.

However, even silence could not escape Xiao Meng's "processing".

He was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with exaggerated excitement as he shouted into the camera, "Oh! Everyone, look! Nan Fusheng is not saying a word right now; he clearly disdains to express himself with words!"

"His attitude is very clear—in his view, the Silver Dragon Princess will not choose any other contestants besides him. Everyone else is like dust in his eyes. This is the complete attitude of a victor!"

Screw your victorious attitude!
Nan Fu suddenly turned sideways, bypassed Xiao Meng, and strode quickly towards the exit of the stadium, afraid that if he were even a second later, the other party would fabricate some even more outrageous remarks.

“Ohhhhhhh!!!”

Xiao Meng didn't stop there. Instead, she shouted even more excitedly to the photographer, "Photographer, quick! Take a picture of Nan Fusheng's back! This image is so impactful!"

"When other contestants faced media interviews, they were eager to show off their strengths like peacocks displaying their feathers to build momentum for the final selection of a husband, but contestant Nan Fusheng disregarded all of this!"

"This is the attitude of someone determined to win! In his eyes, all the other contestants are like chickens and dogs, not worthy of competing with him at all! This footage is too valuable; whether he can get the prize money this year depends entirely on it!"

In the end, the reporter seemed to say something quite shocking.

……

Inside the Mingdu Chuanling Pagoda.

The door to the quiet room slowly opened, and Gu Yuena's figure appeared inside, her silver hair flowing like a waterfall, and her purple eyes seemed to hold the movement of stars.

"Fusheng must have won today's match."

Having just finished a day of cultivation, her gaze seemed to penetrate the many barriers of the Spirit Transmission Tower, reaching directly to the core arena of the Mingdu Grand Gymnasium.

She didn't go to watch Nan Fusheng's match today because she knew that Nan Fusheng's opponent was Ye Xinglan.

Although Ye Xinglan, who had grasped the essence of the Sword God, was very strong, it was almost impossible for him to defeat Nan Fusheng, who possessed the "World Harmony" skill. The soul skill from the Emperor Beast was not so weak.

"Miss." Di Tian, ​​who was guarding outside the quiet room, immediately bowed slightly after seeing his master finish his cultivation.

"My soul power has reached level 98. In a while, I should be able to reach level 99." Gu Yuena clenched her fist, feeling the abundant soul power within her body, but there was no joy in her eyes.

After all, it was just a retraining, and her level 98 soul power was nowhere near her strength at her peak.

She gently shook her head, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and then instructed Di Tian, ​​"Let's go and check on the operation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Platform."

"Yes," Di Tian replied, respectfully following behind her, his steps silent.

As Gu Yuena walked through the corridors of the Spirit Pagoda, her thoughts began to wander: "Unfortunately, the people from the Temple of War are still taking a wait-and-see approach, only sending a few people into the Beast Platform to experience it."

But then she thought again and felt relieved: "However, as long as they witness the improvement of the Beast Platform with their own eyes, even if it's just to avoid being left behind by the times, the Temple of War will definitely send a large number of people to move in."

This is a perfectly legitimate and open conspiracy.

In recent times, countless Soul Masters have achieved a leap in strength through the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, and their significant improvement has caused quite a stir in the Mingdu Soul Master circle.

Gu Yuena firmly believed that, having witnessed this scene, the members of the Temple of War would never remain inactive.

"If you fall behind, you will be attacked." This is an ironclad rule passed down from the Douluo Three Kingdoms ten thousand years ago, and no force dares to underestimate it.

Moreover, the development of any organization cannot be separated from the injection of fresh blood.

Most of the members of the War God Hall come from Soul Master families or are commoner Soul Masters. Once the Ten Thousand Beast Platform grows bigger and stronger, those Soul Masters who benefit from it will eventually become the backbone of the War God Hall in a subtle way.

"We just don't know what Tang San is planning with his divine sense yet. Just in case, we should speed up the progress of the plan."

Gu Yuena quickened her pace, pondering ways to accelerate the plan. "Perhaps, I can start with Fu Xuan. She is Yu Guanzhi's granddaughter. If I can win her over, the promotion of the Ten Thousand Beasts Platform will definitely be much more effective."

Just as Gu Yuena was pondering a strategy to win over Fu Xuan, a figure suddenly appeared around the corner ahead.

It was a young man carrying a mountain of documents. Because the documents obscured his view, he did not notice anyone in front of him and ran straight towards Gu Yuena.

"Hmph!" Di Tian reacted extremely quickly, flashing forward to block Gu Yuena's path.

"Ouch!"

The young man crashed into Di Tian as if he had struck an impenetrable wall, instantly bounced back and fell to the ground with a cry of pain. Scattered documents covered the ground like snowflakes, leaving the scene in complete disarray.

The young man hurriedly looked up, and when he saw the fierce-looking black-haired man in front of him, and the silver-haired, purple-eyed, and distinguished figure behind him, he panicked and waved his arms helplessly.

"Miss Gu Yuena! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm really so sorry!"

"It's alright, I'll be more careful next time." Gu Yuena didn't intend to hold it against him, and said this lightly before preparing to walk past him and leave.

Just then, her peripheral vision inadvertently swept over the scattered documents, and the words "Soul Beast Escort Program" on one of the documents caught her eye, causing her to stop in her tracks instantly.

A surge of curiosity welled up in her heart, and she quietly released her mental energy to scan the contents of the document. Her expression instantly changed from sunny to gloomy, and a chill gradually appeared in her purple eyes.

Watching the young man hurriedly picking up the documents, Gu Yuena twitched her fingertips, and a gentle breeze quietly appeared, swirling up the scattered documents and neatly placing them into her palm.

"Here you go." She handed the document back to the young man.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much." The young man took the documents, bowed politely, and his face was full of gratitude.

“No need.” Gu Yuena’s gaze fell on the name tag on the young man’s chest, and she slowly spoke, “Yakushi Kabuto, right? Could you explain what this ‘Soul Beast Escort Program’ actually means?”

As she spoke, she waved the document she had deliberately left in her hand.

“Okay.” Yakushi Kabuto didn’t dare to be negligent and answered truthfully: “The Soul Beast Escort Plan is a proposal discussed internally by the Spirit Pagoda, which involves the handling of matters after the Star Dou Great Forest is conquered.”

"Boy, what did you say!" Upon hearing that it concerned the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian's face instantly darkened, and his aura suddenly turned cold. "You can't just casually talk about the solution to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"This……"

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from Di Tian, ​​Kabuto Yakushi's breathing became rapid, his eyes filled with confusion and fear, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily.

"Quiet."

Just then, Gu Yuena shouted, her voice not loud, but carrying an irresistible force that instantly neutralized Di Tian's majesty and cleared his mind, which had been somewhat confused by his rage.

"Miss!" Di Tian snapped out of his daze, realizing his lapse in composure, and immediately lowered his head, respectfully awaiting instructions.

Gu Yuena naturally understood the reason for Di Tian's rage. The Star Dou Great Forest was the home of soul beasts, and any malicious plan involving it would cross Di Tian's bottom line.

She didn't blame him too much, but simply turned her gaze back to Yakushi Kabuto: "Ignore him, continue."

"Yes Yes."

Yakushi Dou glanced at Di Tian, ​​still shaken, swallowed hard, and continued, "The Star Dou Great Forest is vast and rich in resources, containing countless rare and precious materials."

"Ever since Fors, the Spirit Envoy, proposed the 'Star Dou Great Forest Domestication Plan,' many people in the tower have been interested in it. Even some large families that have heard about it want to get involved and get a share of the pie."

Gu Yuena frowned slightly, her tone tinged with impatience: "I am naturally aware of these things, but I am asking about the specific details of the 'Soul Beast Escort Program'."

"This, this..."

Upon hearing this, Kabuto's eyes flickered, and he stammered, as if he had something difficult to say, with a troubled expression on his face.

"What, is this some kind of confidential file that I'm not even qualified to know?" Gu Yuena frowned slightly when she saw his hesitation, her tone revealing a hint of coldness.

"No, Miss Gu Yuena, you've misunderstood." Kabuto Yakushi quickly waved his hand to explain, "It's just that the details of this plan might make you uncomfortable."

"Speak." Gu Yuena uttered only one word, her tone calm yet carrying an unquestionable command.

"Alright, alright." Seeing this, Kabuto knew he couldn't avoid the question, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Actually, it's some rich people... who wanted to taste the flavor of a super soul beast, so they came up with this plan."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

These despicable humans, before they have even fully conquered the Star Dou Great Forest, have already begun to plot the life and death of the soul beasts. They are simply arrogant to the extreme!
Moreover, the so-called "taste of a super soul beast"—could these greedy humans really harbor such wicked intentions towards his people simply for their own gluttony? A violent killing intent emanated from his body.

Yakushi Kabuto, oblivious to Di Tian's odd behavior, continued, "Those wealthy people are no longer satisfied with humans... they want to try soul beasts... this is the origin of the soul beast escort program."

“Some wealthy people are even willing to pay high prices in the hope of getting an Emerald Swan… or a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear… or if all else fails, a Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff… will also do.”

Um??!!

Yakushi Kabuto's words stunned Di Tian. He looked up sharply and asked incredulously, "Wait, what do you mean by 'soul beast'?"

"That's what it means."

The pharmacist shrugged, his tone carrying a hint of disapproval of this quirk. "There will always be people with special fetishes who want to explore new areas, so they want to try interacting with soul beasts... and the nobler the bloodline of the soul beast, the more excited they become."

"!!!"

Di Tian froze completely. He had lived for tens of thousands of years and seen countless storms. He had seen everything, but what he had heard today was truly unheard of.

No? Humans and unformed soul beasts...

As if oblivious, Kabuto continued, "Some people even wanted to spend a lot of money to pre-order, hoping that after the Spirit Pagoda hunts down the Star Dou Beasts, they could get some 'leftovers' and some of the beast's meat."

"For example, the roots of the Crimson King, the Demon King, and the Bear King. Of course, it would be even better if they could obtain the roots from Emperor Tian. Even if it's just a small piece, they're willing to pay a high price to buy it because they believe it's extremely nourishing..."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian felt a chill rise from between his legs, and then, a surge of rage overwhelmed his reason.

These damned humans actually dared to covet his... they deserve to die!
"That's the general outline of the plan."

After finishing speaking, Kabuto cautiously looked at Gu Yuena and added, "After this plan was proposed, the Tower Master did not explicitly object, but instead entrusted it entirely to Young Master Zhangting."

“Just now, I consulted with Young Master Zhangting, and he fully supports this plan and even stamped the document.”

Gu Yuena followed his gaze to the document and, sure enough, saw Qian Gu Zhangting's seal at the end. Her killing intent and disgust intensified.

She had thought that Qian Gu Zhangting was just an annoying fly, but she never expected that he would do such a despicable thing behind her back.

"You can leave now." Gu Yuena handed the documents back to Kabuto and waved for him to go. Kabuto was ultimately just an executor; she wouldn't hold a grudge against him.

"Yes." Yakushi Kabuto felt as if he had been granted a pardon and hurriedly left with the documents in his arms.

After the apothecary had walked away, Di Tian suddenly looked up, his eyes blazing with killing intent. He raised his hand in a throat-slitting gesture and asked, "My lord, should we...?"

"We cannot take action for the time being."

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart, and said in an icy voice, "At present, the matter of the Ten Thousand Beasts Platform is the highest priority. The Qian Gu father and son still have value to our plan."

"Yes." Di Tian nodded heavily, though unwilling, he still chose to obey the order.

"The East Wind blows eternally! The Zhangting Pavilion stands eternally!"

Gu Yuena pronounced the two names slowly and deliberately, her purple eyes flashing with a cold light, "I'll settle this score with you sooner or later."
