Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 147 His eyes are so similar to Sister Xiyue’s, but he doesn’t recognize me. What’s going on?

"The invitation has been sent. Should we go or not?"

Next to the Sun and Moon Team, Shrek also received an invitation. Cai Meir, who was in a bad mood, had disappeared somewhere. Wang Yan spoke up and asked for the opinions of Zhang Lexuan and Du Weilun.

"I don't think it's necessary. If they really have to go, Cai Tou and the others can go and take a look. We don't have to."

Du Weilun spoke first. As a martial soul person, he has never been interested in soul guides.

Moreover, he didn't understand why Mr. Mu insisted on supporting the Soul Guidance Department. The Xuanming Sect that almost destroyed Shrek was a soul master, and Long Xiaoyao who saved Shrek was also a soul master. If it was such an obvious thing, shouldn't the resources of the Soul Guidance Department be used to develop the Martial Soul Department?
It was obvious that the Soul Guidance Department could not be helped, but they still insisted on doing it. To be disrespectful, I am afraid that Mr. Mu was putting the cart before the horse. He believed that not only he had this idea, but the two deans and even more people felt the same way, but they just didn't express it.

"How can Caitou go alone in his current condition? He needs someone to look after him."

Zhang Lexuan shook her head, denying Du Weilun's unrealistic statement, and continued, "Before Elder Mu passed away, he said that we should start accepting soul guides. I think we should go and see more."

Du Weilun wanted to refute, but thinking of Zhang Lexuan's strength and status, he chose to agree.

Dean Cai can surpass Zhang Lexuan, but it is impossible for him, the director of the external department, to do so. He has reached the top of the ladder by reaching this position. The other party is a strong contender for the next dean or even the leader of the Sea God Pavilion.

"Senior Sister, I feel a little disgusted by soul guides, so I won't go." Wang Dong raised his hand and spoke with a frown.

For some reason, whenever she showed some interest in soul guides, she would inexplicably feel nauseous in her mind, as if a voice was telling her not to touch the soul guides.

Zhang Lexuan thought the other party was a deeply rooted Wuhun Sect, so she nodded and said, "It's fine as long as everyone is willing. It's okay if you don't want to go."

It would have been fine if the word "voluntary" hadn't been mentioned. Once it was mentioned, very few Shrek team members were willing to go out. Apart from He Caitou and Huo Yuhao, two people from the Soul Guidance Department, only Beibei from the Martial Soul Department stood up.

Because of the previous accident, the senior students of the Soul Guidance Department also died along with the students of the Martial Soul Department. This time, even Wang Yan couldn't say anything to persuade everyone to try to accept the soul guidance device, as it would be unlucky to mention it.

Zhang Lexuan knew that Beibei still gave face to herself and Mr. Mu, otherwise he would not have stood up; as for the others, they all resisted the soul guide device from the bottom of their hearts.

"Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu, I'm afraid your last wish will be difficult to fulfill..."

Sighing secretly, Zhang Lexuan did not force it and asked the three people to leave the room.

In fact, she didn't really understand why Mr. Mu strongly supported the Soul Guidance Department, she just respected him.

Those people in the Soul Guidance Department rushed to the Sun and Moon to find a tenth-level soul engineer to replace the Sea God Pavilion Master? Zhang Lexuan felt that Mu Lao's idea was a bit unrealistic. Let's first find a ninth-level soul engineer.

Coming out of the conference room, the four saw through the top-floor window that the Sun and Moon Team had appeared outside the hotel and were heading towards the Starlight Auction House.

Zhang Lexuan lowered her eyes and stared at Xu Tianxi who was chatting casually with Xiao Hongchen, frowning slightly. For some reason, this person gave her a faint sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him somewhere.

And his name... is the same as Sister Xiyue's child back then, and his surname is Kong; it really can't help but attract attention.

Thinking of the little boy who slapped Dean Yan, a trace of worry appeared on Zhang Lexuan's cheeks.

Ever since they parted ways with Xuanming Sect, she had been keeping an eye on Xu Tianxi's news. After learning that he had run away from home, she searched for him for a long time but ultimately found nothing.

When Zhang Lexuan heard that Xu Tianxi was not welcome in Xuanming Sect, she went to Xuanming Sect to look for Xue Lingxun, but after a lot of trouble, she couldn't find any problems.

At that time, she was confused about where an eight-year-old child could go after running away from home, and why he didn't come to Shrek to deliver the letter to her.

Thinking about it now, she felt somewhat fortunate; if he had entered Shrek and ended up like his brother Sanshi, that would have been a big deal.

Bei Bei noticed Zhang Lexuan's complicated expression and whispered, "Sister, what's wrong? We're going downstairs."

Zhang Lexuan came back to her senses and forced a smile: "It's okay, I just remembered an old friend."

"Oh."

Beibei nodded. Sister Lexuan has been practicing for many years, so it is normal for her to have some old friends outside.

……

Xu Tianxi and his group first went to the Starlight Auction House. After registering and taking a number, they went deep into the underground auction house under the guidance of a maid in a red dress.

The auction hall was huge in scale and decorated magnificently and luxuriously, even better than the Star Emperor Hotel. Even the group of people who were used to seeing good things in the Sun and Moon Empire secretly sighed that the rich people in the Star Luo Empire were really rich.

This auction was not of a high level and no private rooms were arranged. The group received white masks and sat down in the VIP seats that had been arranged earlier.

"I'm really curious about which idiot came up with this cheap mask. It's like if we put it on, people won't recognize us."

As soon as he sat down, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but shake the white mask he had just obtained and complain about the outrageous Starlight Auction House.

"This place has a certain style. Maybe people recognize it but won't say anything."

Xu Tianxi leaned back in the recliner to relax, and answered Xiao Hongchen with a smile.

After all, the people of Douluo Continent don't really think that wearing a random metal mask can conceal their identity, right? At least they can wear a spirit guide mask that can change their face shape?
At this moment, Meng Hongchen pointed to the entrance of the auction and said, "Huh?" "Look, are those four people from Shrek?"

At the entrance, Zhang Lexuan was walking in front, Beibei was pushing He Caitou's wheelchair, and Huo Yuhao was walking at the end. Beibei and He Caitou were both wearing Shrek school uniforms.

Xu Tianxi glanced at it and then looked away, nodding his head. "Indeed, but don't worry about it. This time we're competing on financial strength. In this respect, Mingde Hall is number one on the continent."

Before coming here, he specifically approved a lot of funds from Jing Hongchen in order to prevent the situation in the original book where one had to mortgage a ninth-level soul guide in order to auction off good things.

What's more, this time, he came just for the murderous knife. The carving knife had a very bad reputation, and no one would probably compete with him for it.

The auction opened with great fanfare. A purple-dressed, purple-rank auctioneer, Qingya, took the stage and announced the start of the auction with a smile. One by one, exquisite soul guides from the Star Luo Empire were brought to the auction table. However, in the eyes of the Sun and Moon Team, those soul guides were not industrial waste, but rather poorly made, defective products.

The third-level paralyzing soul guide ray, the fourth-level explosive soul guide cannon, the fifth-level soul guide shield... made the group drowsy.

All the soul masters present were above level five. Instead of using the money to buy finished products, they might as well get some metal and rub one by hand, and then put up a sign saying "Mingdetang Product".

"Hey, when will that list carving knife arrive? I'm almost falling asleep."

Meng Hongchen looked listless and couldn't help yawning. His head leaned to the side and touched someone's broad shoulder.

Xu Tianxi glanced at the senior student who was about to fall asleep next to him with a twitching mouth, and glanced at Xiao Hongchen, who immediately looked at the auction table intently, as if the fourth-level milk bottle being auctioned and the auctioneer Qingya were so exquisite and eye-catching.

What an ungrateful guy, he'll turn around and tell the hall master that you think the auctioneer is prettier than your sister, Xu Tianxi thought viciously.

Not long after, the fourth-level milk bottle was auctioned off by someone, and the auctioneer was none other than Shrek and his group.

After the milk bottles were auctioned off, Qingya exaggerated the final mysterious gift on the stage. A waiter slowly came up from the side of the auction table and pushed up a small cart.

When the cloth covering the auction item was removed, the cursed sword "Soul Eater" was revealed, which was the blade of guardianship of living beings cursed by the evil soul master. The noisy scene suddenly calmed down.

The reason is simple: the Soul-Eating Sword is too notorious, and all its owners have met a miserable end, with many even having their entire families wiped out.

Xu Tianxi took action when the Soul-Devouring Knife was about to be sold at a low price and got it at the lowest price.

Ma Rulong and others were worried that something might go wrong. Before Xu Tianxi could speak, Xiao Hongchen, who had already witnessed all of Xu Tianxi's special encounters, began to explain for Xu Tianxi, saying that nothing would happen to him no matter who happened.

"Don't worry, this guy is very capable, nothing will happen to him."

"Senior, senior, we have bought the things and can leave now."

Xu Tianxi patted Meng Hongchen who had fallen asleep. The latter, like a sleepy kitten, reluctantly raised his head and said lazily:

"The auction ended so quickly, it really is a scam auction."

Xu Tianxi smiled casually, thinking that the auction in a few days would have real treasures, but it was a pity that it would be useless even if you won it.

The Sun and Moon people walked out of the auction house in a bored mood and were on their way back to the hotel when a clear female voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Captain of the Sun and Moon Team's reserve squad, are you interested in a private conversation?"

The group suddenly turned around and saw who was coming. Lin Jiayi instantly flashed in front of Xu Tianxi and raised his hand and said:
"The relationship between our two colleges has never been very good. If you have anything to say, it's better to say it in public."

There was only one person who appeared in front of the Sun and Moon Team, Zhang Lexuan. Lin Jiayi knew that the other party was the chief disciple of Shrek Inner Court, and her strength was definitely not inferior to his own. The current Xu Tianxi was definitely not her opponent.

If something goes wrong, he won't be able to explain to Jing Hongchen.

Seeing Zhang Lexuan coming to find him, Xu Tianxi raised his eyebrows slightly and said loudly:
"Our director's meaning is my meaning. I'm afraid the relationship between our two colleges is not yet good enough for you and me to talk alone. If you have anything to say, please say it in front of everyone."

It had been seven years since they last saw each other, and he didn't think Zhang Lexuan would still recognize him. The possibility that she was setting a trap for him on behalf of Shrek was far greater than the possibility of them reminiscing about the past alone.

Besides, even if they were to reminisce about the past, what could they talk about? Talking about the bloody incident in the Xingdou Great Forest or listening to her reminisce about her past with Kong Xiyue? He had no interest in either.

The Xuanming Sect has completely torn its relations with Shrek, and their positions are destined to be enemies. He doesn't think he can pull the other party from Shrek to his side.

Xuan Zi is extremely abstract, but Moon treats her well. Although he has the selfish intention of training her to protect Bei Bei and Shrek, helping her to avenge the killing of her enemy's family and teaching her cultivation carefully are not fake.

As for the other party's possession of the Moon Martial Soul, could it be related to the Sun and Moon Royal Family? I can only say that this possibility cannot be ruled out, but her entire family is dead, and it is almost impossible to verify it.

"Is he really not Tianxi?"

Seeing Xu Tianxi's "keep away from strangers" attitude, Zhang Lexuan frowned and felt a little uncomfortable.

Looking closely at the other person's eyes, Zhang Lexuan vaguely saw some of Kong Xiyue's shadow from the past, and the facial features were also somewhat similar. Her intuition told her that the person in front of her might be the son of an old friend.

But the other party's attitude made her feel unfamiliar and hesitant.

"If you don't want to speak publicly, then we won't accompany you. We'll all have to face the competition later."

Xu Tianxi's calm and loud voice reached Zhang Lexuan's ears:

"Perhaps one day, when I become a ninth-level soul mentor, I will go to Shrek to meet you. It won't be too late to talk then."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen both became excited. Judging from Xu Tianxi's attitude, he was serious about what he said; but how to get to Shrek specifically was worth thinking about.

Xiao Hongchen thought, given Xu Tianxi's usual character, maybe he would bring a dozen level nine fixed-type soul guide shells?
Seeing that Zhang Lexuan still didn't respond, Xu Tianxi turned around and waved to everyone, "Let's go, go back and rest."

The Sun and Moon Team turned and left. Lin Jiayi kept one eye on Zhang Lexuan's movements, but he didn't see her make any moves until she disappeared from his sight.

"The people at Shrek are really weird. I have to report this to the dean." Lin Jiayi thought.

Standing there, Zhang Lexuan watched Xu Tianxi and the members of the Sun and Moon Team leave, feeling empty in her heart.

She wanted to catch up and ask several times, but she stopped and murmured:
"His eyes are so similar to Sister Xiyue's, but he doesn't recognize me and is still in the Sun and Moon Empire. What's going on?"
