Leng Yaozhu's slender fingertips lightly traced a line across her wristband, casually tossing a bright orange fruit to Su Mo.
The fruit is translucent and emits a faint fragrance.
From a distance, it appears to be carved from the finest red jade, with a faint red phoenix silhouette circling inside, as if it were about to soar into the sky at any moment.
Upon seeing this, Su Mo's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately recognized what it was.
"This is... Phoenix Blood Fruit?"
Su Mo looked at Leng Yaozhu with some disbelief.
"Not bad!"
Seeing that Su Mo recognized her, Leng Yaozhu nodded in satisfaction.
Originally, she had prepared this Phoenix Blood Fruit specifically for Leng Yulai, but after Leng Yulai fell into the trap of becoming an evil soul master, the Phoenix Blood Fruit became useless.
The Phoenix Blood Fruit not only has the effects of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the body, but it can also greatly enhance a Soul Master's fire resistance and flame temperature.
While it may not reach the level of the fiery apricot blossom, its effects are still incredibly potent.
"Thank you!"
Feeling the warmth from his palm, Su Mo didn't hesitate and put it in his pocket without saying a word.
Although the Phoenix Blood Fruit is not very useful to her, it is a rare spiritual item for Mu Xi, who is of the fire attribute.
Moreover, after being reminded by Leng Yaozhu, Su Mo realized that he should go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to harvest vegetables.
Of the three great treasure troves in the world, Su Mo not only didn't covet Qiankun Wenqing Valley, but he also noted down Dragon Valley and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye in his little notebook.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to the banquet hall and pick up Gu Yue while I'm at it."
After saying that, Leng Yaozhu took Su Mo's hand, and together they transformed into a ball of flame and disappeared from the room.
"Why haven't you come back yet?"
Gu Yue, who had been waiting in the banquet hall for a long time without seeing Su Mo and Leng Yaozhu return, became a little irritated and started looking around.
"..."
Tang Wulin, who was enjoying his meal at the next table, suddenly felt that his steak was no longer appealing when he saw Gu Yue looking around as if searching for something. He became listless.
Although Su Mo said he had no relationship with Gu Yue, Gu Yue's looking around clearly indicated that she was looking for Su Mo.
"Wu Lin, you're not jealous, are you?"
Xie Xie's voice suddenly rang in Tang Wulin's ear.
Tang Wulin, his thoughts exposed, immediately blushed and hurriedly waved his hands in protest, "Xie Xie, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Faced with Tang Wulin's weak and feeble explanation, Xie Xie rolled his eyes speechlessly, then said irritably, "Is Gu Yue looking for her teacher?"
"Teacher? When did Gu Yue get a teacher?"
Tang Wulin was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.
Having known Gu Yue for so long, this was the first time he had ever heard that Gu Yue had a teacher.
"Hmph, you wouldn't know this!"
Looking at Tang Wulin's bewildered expression, Xie Xie crossed his arms and smiled proudly, saying smugly, "Wulin, you'd never guess just how powerful Gu Yue's teacher really is."
Seeing Xie Xie starting to keep everyone in suspense, Tang Wulin shook Xie Xie's shoulder and urged him impatiently, "Xie Xie, hurry up and tell us!"
"Okay, okay, stop shaking it, alright?"
Dizzy from being shaken by Tang Wulin, Xie Xie first looked around, then leaned closer to Tang Wulin and whispered, "Gu Yue's teacher is that Heavenly Phoenix Douluo!"
"Heavenly Phoenix Douluo!"
Tang Wulin was suddenly startled.
Although he didn't know who Tianfeng Douluo was, the fact that he was given the title of Douluo meant that Gu Yue's teacher was a titled Douluo.
The thought that Xie Xie and Gu Yue both had a Title Douluo as their teacher made Tang Wulin feel a pang of sadness.
"Xie Xie, you said Gu Yue's teacher is the one from the Spirit Pagoda!"
Just as Tang Wulin was about to ask Xie Xie for more information about the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, Wu Changkong's voice suddenly rang out.
Tang Wulin looked up and saw that Wu Changkong had appeared behind them at some point.
Something came up, so I'll have to postpone today's two chapters.
Chapter 161 The Middleman
"Dance teacher!"
Upon seeing Wu Changkong, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie hurriedly stood up.
Wu Changkong ignored them, looked at Xie Xie with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "Xie Xie, where did you get this news from?"
Seeing Wu Changkong's seriousness, Xie Xie didn't dare to be negligent and quickly told her everything, "Xu Xiaoyan just posted it on her WeChat Moments!"
Having finally met the legendary Heavenly Phoenix Douluo in person and even shook hands with him, Xu Xiaoyan naturally wanted to show off and boast about it. So she quickly edited a message and posted it on her WeChat Moments.
Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong didn't say much. His tense expression immediately relaxed, and the heavy weight that had been hanging over his heart finally lifted.
As early as the moment Gu Yue refused to join the Tang Sect, Wu Changkong had a vague idea that the force Gu Yue wanted to join was the Spirit Pagoda, and he was even worried about it for a while.
Because the Spirit Pagoda has never been very welcoming to people from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, Wu Changkong was somewhat worried that Gu Yue might part ways with Tang Wulin and the others, or even become enemies, due to the conflict between their factions.
However, if Gu Yue's teacher is Tianfeng Douluo Leng Yaozhu, then that would be a different story.
Although Tianfeng Douluo is the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, she studied at Shrek Academy in her youth and was deeply educated and influenced by the Shrek spirit.
Thanks to this special experience, Tianfeng Douluo often speaks up for Shrek Academy in the Spirit Pagoda and eases the differences between the two sides.
The Spirit Pagoda was able to maintain a semblance of peace with the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, thanks in no small part to the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.
"Teacher Wu, is Gu Yue's teacher someone important?"
Looking at Wu Changkong, who was clearly relieved, Tang Wulin asked curiously.
Having spent so much time with Wu Changkong, this was the first time Tang Wulin had ever seen Wu Changkong show a relaxed expression when mentioning the Spirit Pagoda.
Before Wu Changkong could even speak, Xie Xie couldn't wait to complain, "No, Wu Lin, you're so unsophisticated! You don't even recognize a big shot like the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo."
"She is the Federation's recognized number one female Soul Master, a level 99 Limit Douluo, and the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda!"
"Limit Douluo!!!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin's eyes widened in disbelief, his heart filled with shock.
Thanks to his month of advanced studies at the Tang Sect, Tang Wulin is no longer the country bumpkin he used to be, and he now has a general understanding of the strength of the leaders of various major forces.
Limit Douluo, that is a true existence standing at the pinnacle of Soul Masters.
Every Limit Douluo is a living legend.
Looking across the Tang Clan, only the sect leader and deputy sect leader have reached this level.
"What was Phoenix Douluo doing here that day?"
Tang Wulin swallowed hard, his mouth dry as he asked.
"I don't know this either!"
Xie Xie shrugged, giving a very straightforward answer.
"It's probably to win over Su Mo!"
After a moment of silence, Wu Changkong slowly spoke.
"Win Su Mo over?"
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie exclaimed in disbelief.
Fortunately, the hall was quite lively at the moment, otherwise the two of them would have attracted a lot of attention.
Wu Changkong nodded seriously and said calmly, "Su Mo's current potential is barely comparable to those legendary figures on the continent. It's only natural that he would receive offers from other forces."
"However, I think that in addition to winning over Su Mo, Tianfeng Douluo's presence here is also related to Gu Yue."
Listening to Wu Changkong's analysis, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie nodded in agreement.
Just as Tang Wulin was about to ask Wu Changkong some more questions, Xie Xie suddenly nudged him lightly with his elbow.
Before Tang Wulin could figure out what was going on, he heard Xie Xie whisper, "Look, Su Mo and His Majesty the Heavenly Phoenix are back!"
Tang Wulin looked in the direction of the sound and saw Su Mo following behind a woman whose beauty was breathtaking.
Tang Wulin was stunned by Leng Yaozhu's beauty at first glance.
Tang Wulin could swear to God that this was the first time in his life he had ever seen such a beautiful woman.
Upon seeing Leng Yaozhu, Gu Yue immediately rushed forward and took Leng Yaozhu's arm, saying in a low voice, "Teacher, you're finally back. Why were you gone for so long?"
Looking at Gu Yue, who was trying to probe her for information, Leng Yaozhu smiled without saying a word.
"Moon, is there anything else you need to do next?"
Leng Yaozhu patted Gu Yue's arm and said softly with concern.
"no!"
Gu Yue shook her head, somewhat puzzled as to why Leng Yaozhu would ask such a question.
"How about you come out for a stroll with your master?"
Leng Yaozhu suddenly invited Gu Yue to go shopping.
"Ok!"
Although Gu Yue had some doubts, she missed Leng Yaozhu, her teacher, because she hadn't seen her for a long time, so she immediately nodded in agreement.
"Then, Su Mo, I'll take Gu Yue with me first!"
As Leng Yaozhu spoke, she took Gu Yue's small hand and left the hall directly.
Watching Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue leave, Su Mo felt a bit confused, wondering what Leng Yaozhu was up to.
However, with Leng Yulai as her protector, Su Mo was not worried that Leng Yaozhu would do anything to harm her.
"Su Mo, Su Mo, what did His Majesty the Heavenly Phoenix just say to you?"
