Chapter 148 I Will Lead the Tang Clan to Join the Spirit Pagoda
Chapter 148 I Will Lead the Tang Clan to Join the Spirit Pagoda
Time flowed quietly, and the days of seclusion gave Tang Ya a more solid aura.
Moon sat there quietly, looking at the graceful young woman before him with kind eyes.
"Xiaoya," his voice was gentle and full of concern, "tell me, what path have you found?"
Tang Ya bowed solemnly and said, "Elder Mu, my path is to make the Tang Clan great again, but I know that the Tang Clan has fallen behind. Hidden weapons have long been replaced by soul tools... Moreover, the Tang Clan now only has me and Bei Bei. The Spirit Pagoda has also been kind to us. Therefore, I want to lead the Tang Clan to join the Spirit Pagoda."
In conclusion, she said, "The path I most want to take... is to be by Beibei's side. No matter if the road ahead is smooth or thorny, I want to walk alongside him."
The smile in Mu En's eyes deepened, a smile of satisfaction at seeing his junior find his way.
He nodded slightly and said slowly, "Okay, okay."
With your ambition, the Tang Clan has hope for revival, and Bei Bei is fortunate to have you by his side.
He said gently, "Since we're family, from now on, you can call me Xuanzu, just like Beibei did."
Tang Ya suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Xuan...Xuanzu?
Beibei's...great-grandfather?
Elder Mu is actually Bei Bei's great-grandfather?!
A deluge of information overwhelmed her, leaving her stunned and speechless.
"Elder Mu...you..." She finally managed to find her voice, but was still somewhat incoherent from shock. "This...I..."
Seeing her unusually flustered state, Moon's smile softened with a touch of kind teasing:
"What, Beibei hasn't told you yet? Looks like he overlooked it."
He waved his hand, his tone softening again, "It's alright, it's good that you know now. Xiaoya, Beibei is waiting for you; he has many things he wants to tell you."
Tang Ya took a deep breath, trying to calm her turbulent emotions, and bowed deeply once again.
This time, her demeanor showed more intimacy and respect for her elders: "Yes, Ancestor. Then I will take my leave."
Her steps were initially a little hurried, but she quickly calmed down.
Not long after, Ning Tian also ended his seclusion.
She walked calmly to Mu En, bowed gracefully, and her demeanor was dignified and composed, already subtly revealing the bearing of a future sect leader.
"Elder Mu," her voice was clear and melodious, "my path is now clear."
As the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, I bear the mission of restoring the sect to its former glory and making it the "Number One Support in the World." This responsibility is one I cannot shirk.
"My progress to this point, my passing of the divine test, and even the evolution of my martial soul are all thanks to the selfless assistance of the Spirit Pagoda."
The entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is deeply grateful for this kindness.
"Therefore," Ning Tian's tone became even more resolute, as if he were making a vow,
"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is not only the most steadfast ally of the Spirit Transmission Tower, but this alliance will transcend time and remain unchanged forever."
At the same time, I sincerely hope that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and Shrek Academy can continue to work together to deepen our long-standing and profound friendship and cooperation.
The key to cooperation lies in working together. I believe that the friendship and connection between our three parties will become the cornerstone of the future stability and prosperity of the mainland.
Moon listened quietly, a glint of admiration in his eyes.
He could see that the young woman in front of him not only had talent and determination, but also possessed a rare vision and foresight.
"A very good ambition," Moon said encouragingly. "Keep this initial aspiration and clear-headedness, and your path will surely be broad."
The friendship between the academy and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will endure forever.
"I will keep Elder Mu's teachings in mind." Ning Tian bowed respectfully again, then took his leave.
Finally, there was Huo Yutong. She had spent the longest time cultivating this time.
At this moment, Huo Yutong's aura had undergone a qualitative transformation compared to before her seclusion. It was calm and profound, and her soul power level had reached level forty-eight.
She approached Moon and first gave a deep bow in respect.
"Master Mu," she raised her head, her gaze clear and firm, "I wish to become your disciple."
"Great!" Moon laughed heartily, his voice echoing through the roof beams, filled with immense satisfaction and exhilaration.
"I will accept you as my last disciple!"
Huo Yutong solemnly performed the apprenticeship ceremony in accordance with ancient rituals.
Looking at her, Mu En's smile grew even more kind and gentle, the satisfaction and expectation of a teacher seeing a rough gem eventually blossom into something great.
"Yutong," Mu En asked gently, as if guiding her to see her own heart clearly.
"Now tell me, what kind of path have you found?"
Huo Yutong did not hesitate at all. Her voice was not loud, but every word was clear, containing a determination beyond her years:
"The Spirit Pagoda is my path."
"I want to become stronger, to become a true powerhouse on this continent, not to conquer, but to have enough power to protect all the people and things that are important to me."
"I would rather use this power to end the bloody slaughter and endless cycle that has lasted for tens of thousands of years between humans and soul beasts."
At this point, a slight blush rose to her cheeks, and her hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the warm, smooth pendant on her chest. Her voice softened, but became even more resolute:
"...I also want to always stand shoulder to shoulder with him and see the future we both believe in."
Mu En listened quietly, his tone full of understanding and support: "Yu Tong, what you see is farther than what many people pursue in their entire lives."
The Spirit Pagoda's research into souls and martial spirits, and the ideals you hold, have confirmed my previous speculation—there exists a deep connection and cooperation between you and soul beasts.
"I have no intention of seeking or interfering in anything," Moon said, his expression turning serious and profound.
"It's clear that as the number of Soul Masters increases, the demand for Soul Rings will inevitably be like a bottomless abyss."
If this continues, the soul beast race may face extinction. Without the skin, where will the fur attach? The foundation of soul masters will also be shaken.
"If the Spirit Pagoda's approach is indeed the way to break this deadlock that has lasted for millennia, then I, and Shrek Academy behind me, will be your strongest support."
Looking at her teacher's kind yet resolute face, Huo Yutong felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and she bowed deeply once more:
"Thank you, teacher."
……
Years later, when Mu En looked at Huo Yutong, who was arm in arm with Di Tian, showing him around and introducing Shrek Academy, he would wonder if he was getting too old and developing dementia...
Xuanzi, Elder Lin, Yan Shaozhe, and a group of others who witnessed the same scene shared the same suspicions.
Xuanzi even wondered if he had drunk too much and was hallucinating.
Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo pinched each other hard without hesitation at the same time.
Later, when Du Busi, who was far away in the Body Sect, found out, he also began to wonder if he was getting old and senile.
