Chapter 51 First Encounter with Gu Yue
Chapter 52 First Encounter with Gu Yue
Leng Yaozhu's inspection tour of Wanxing City lasted only one day, and she set off for the next city the following day.
After a month of continuous inspections, they finally arrived at their destination—Donghai City.
Of all the people in Donghai City, Huo Yuhao was most curious about his junior sister, whom he had never met.
However, Leng Yaozhu informed her that Gu Yue was currently studying at Donghai Academy and they would have to wait until evening to meet.
After a day's routine patrol, Leng Yaozhu found Huo Yuhao.
"Let's go."
Seeing the mysterious smile on her face, Huo Yuhao knew where she was going.
Led by Leng Yaozhu, the two finally arrived at a secluded rest room inside the Spirit Pagoda.
As Huo Yuhao pushed open the door, his gaze fell on the figure on the sofa.
She was a girl about his age, dressed in white, which accentuated her slender and graceful figure.
Her hair was as black as ink, falling over her shoulders, and her eyes were also pure black, as calm as a lake in the dead of night.
Her appearance wasn't stunning, just pretty, but she possessed an indescribable clean and pure quality.
Leng Yaozhu's voice rang out from the side, introducing the two of them.
"Yuhao, this is your junior sister, Guyue."
"Gu Yue, this is your senior brother, Huo Yuhao."
The two stepped forward, shook hands lightly, and that was how they became acquainted.
Huo Yuhao's feelings for his junior sister Gu Yue were purely out of curiosity.
However, at this moment, as Gu Yue lowered her eyes and withdrew her hand, a very complex glint flashed in her eyes.
Clearly, Gu Yue's thoughts at this moment were far from as calm as they appeared.
Although this was her first time meeting Huo Yuhao, she knew far more about him than he knew about her.
After all, her partner "Na'er" had already shared some information about Huo Yuhao with her.
According to Na'er, Huo Yuhao, though young, possesses astonishingly strong mental power, making him quite difficult to deal with.
Moreover, Gu Yue always harbored a special, inexplicable emotion towards the name "Huo Yuhao".
Ten thousand years ago, Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo, with the support of Di Tian, founded the Spirit Pagoda, with the original intention of alleviating the escalating conflict between humans and soul beasts.
Who would have thought that the development of human soul guidance technology would be so rapid, and after gaining an overwhelming advantage over soul beasts, the promise of the former Spirit Ice Douluo would gradually become nothing but a fleeting dream.
Today, the Spirit Pagoda controls a vast amount of soul beast resources, while the Star Dou Great Forest is barely surviving, with only its core area remaining intact.
Gu Yue didn't know whether she should thank Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago, or hate him!
Although Huo Yuhao in front of me also possesses a spirit-type martial soul and has exceptional talent, he is clearly not the legendary figure who stirred up the winds and clouds ten thousand years ago.
Leng Yaozhu looked at the young couple in front of her, her eyes revealing a rare gentleness and satisfaction.
She gently raised her hand to further explain to the two: "Gu Yue's martial soul is the Silver Dragon," possessing an exceptional talent for controlling multiple elements.
In front of outsiders, Gu Yue always refers to his martial spirit as the Elementalist.
But when facing her teacher, Leng Yaozhu, she naturally didn't hide much from her.
She, the incarnation of the Silver Dragon King, claims to possess the Silver Dragon Martial Soul, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Leng Yaozhu then turned to Huo Yuhao, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible pride: "Yuhao's martial soul is the Spirit Eye, a spirit-type physical martial soul. His spiritual power has already reached the Spirit Sea Realm."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue unconsciously clenched her hands at her sides, and when she looked at Huo Yuhao again, she couldn't help but be filled with shock.
Leng Yaozhu took in her reaction and couldn't help but smile: "Almost everyone who learns about Yuhao's martial soul for the first time has this shocked expression on their face."
"After all, Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago, had the Spirit Eye as one of his martial souls."
The shock in Gu Yue's heart went far beyond that.
Her connection with the name "Huo Yuhao" is beyond the imagination of most people.
She looked up again and carefully examined the boy in front of her.
The calmness between his brows, the wisdom shining deep in his eyes—
An idea popped into his head uncontrollably: perhaps he should have Di Tian come and see him?
After all, Di Tian had seen Huo Yuhao from ten thousand years ago, so he should be able to see some clues.
He is very likely a descendant of the bloodline left behind on the continent by the Spirit Ice Douluo ten thousand years ago.
The reunion between Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue, the senior and junior siblings, did not last long.
The two had just met and weren't familiar with each other yet. Leng Yaozhu knew that forcing them together would probably make both of them feel awkward.
So after having dinner together, they all went their separate ways!
Huo Yuhao's residence in Donghai City was arranged in a quiet guest room on the upper floor of the Spirit Pagoda.
He will spend the next few years in Donghai City.
Leng Yaozhu has made all the arrangements for him. Tomorrow, he will enter Donghai Academy with Gu Yue and begin a new chapter in his studies.
According to the requirements of Donghai Academy, everyone will be required to live on campus, so he will just stay at the Spirit Pagoda for one night.
The room was spacious and comfortable, and the moonlight from outside the window flowed in like mercury, spreading a soft glow on the floor.
Huo Yuhao lay in bed, but he couldn't fall asleep. His chaotic thoughts were like the swaying moonlight outside the window.
After tossing and turning for a long time, he finally got up, turned on the light, and sat down at the desk by the window.
With a slight movement of his fingertip's spiritual power, a book with a dark blue cover silently appeared on the smooth desktop.
It was the book "The Untold Story of Huo Yuhao and the Auspicious Beast" that Du Qingyuan gave him.
He has read the book carefully.
It must be admitted that the author's delicate and restrained writing style, which depicts a bond and protection that transcends race, is truly touching.
The descriptions of his first encounter with the auspicious beast, their mutual protection in times of danger, and the choices he made in the face of fate even captivated him, the "person involved."
At this moment, he gently turned the pages of the book again.
Under the dim glow of the lamplight, the ink seemed to have a warmth to it, and Huo Yuhao's thoughts gradually began to overflow.
Many key events in the book subtly coincide with the records in the Secret History of the Spirit Pagoda, showing that this book is not entirely fabricated.
And it is precisely for this reason that the romantic subplots that emerge from it—
The silent flutter in our eyes, the unspoken emotions at parting, the deep longing hidden behind sacrifice—
He couldn't distinguish which were romantic imaginings of later generations, and which—perhaps—were truths buried by the dust of time.
For the first time in his youth, Huo Yuhao was so curious about his future "emotional" life!
His fingertips lingered on the familiar name on the title page for a long time.
The night breeze outside the window stirred the corner of the curtain, and the faint sound of the ocean waves could be heard in the distance.
After a long silence, Huo Yuhao finally raised his other hand and activated the communication soul tool on his wrist.
The dim light illuminated his calm profile, and also the brief message he finally sent.
"Are there any other books like this?"
It was already late at night, and Huo Yuhao had originally thought he would not receive Du Qingyuan's reply until tomorrow.
But just as he was about to turn off the light and get into bed again, the message reply notification sound came out.
"Of course!"
"What do you want to see?"
"I also have 'The Domineering Snow Empress Falls in Love with Me,' 'Woman Disguised as a Man, Dragon Butterfly Forces Love,' 'Huo Yuhao and the Crown Princess,' and 'The Untold Story of Ling Bing and Di Tian' here —"
Huo Yuhao: "————"
Looking at this long list of book titles, Huo Yuhao was speechless, realizing he shouldn't have asked him!
