Chapter 281 Gongyang Mo: Greetings, Tower Master!
This is the third day since Leng Yaozhu arrived in the world ten thousand years ago.
Just yesterday, she used her absolute strength to help Huo Yuhao "escape" from Shrek Academy.
According to Huo Yuhao's prior calculations, Leng Yaozhu would only have a total of five days to safely move around in the outside world.
Five days later, she must return to the plane of the dead and cannot stay in the outside world any longer, otherwise she may miss the next opportunity to travel through time and be trapped in this world from ten thousand years ago.
Three days have passed, and she only has two days left.
So early on the fourth day, Leng Yaozhu and Huo Yuhao set off for Xingluo City.
Although Huo Yuhao's two-word battle armor grants him the ability to fly, his flight speed is naturally much slower than that of Leng Yaozhu, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.
To save the already limited time, Leng Yaozhu carried Huo Yuhao on the flight the entire way.
The phantom of the fire phoenix swept across the sky at a great height, so fast that pedestrians on the ground could only see a faint streak of red light passing across the horizon, thinking it was their imagination.
In just a few hours, the two had covered a distance that would take ordinary people many days to travel, and arrived at Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire.
Walking on the wide and bustling streets of Xingluo City, Leng Yaozhu's cold and beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament once again became the focus of everyone's attention, attracting the attention of passersby.
However, Leng Yaozhu was already used to these gazes. She continued walking forward without caring, her beautiful eyes taking in everything around her with great interest.
"I've been to the Star Luo Continent ten thousand years later many times," Leng Yaozhu said as she walked. "That new Star Luo City has many similarities to this place. It seems that the descendants of the Star Luo Empire have never forgotten the glory of ten thousand years ago."
As she spoke, she suddenly turned to look at Huo Yuhao beside her, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips.
"Speaking of which, the royal family of the Star Luo Empire ten thousand years later is descended from Duke White Tiger."
"In that respect, he's also your relative."
"If it were based on seniority, you might even be able to snag the title of an ancestor."
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly, thinking to himself that Aunt Leng's thinking was really unconventional.
He then asked, "Are they descendants of Dai Yueheng or Dai Huabin?"
Leng Yaozhu shook her head: "There is no specific description in the historical records, but the Xingluo royal family should have relevant records. If you are interested, you can go and see for yourself when you have the chance."
Huo Yuhao kept those words in mind, and a sense of curiosity did indeed rise in his heart.
Although he no longer felt any fatherly affection for Duke White Tiger, he wouldn't mind going to see what his descendants would be like ten thousand years from now.
He nodded, his tone calm but not perfunctory: "If there's a chance, we can definitely go and take a look."
After passing through the bustling streets of Xingluo City, Huo Yuhao did not take Leng Yaozhu to the Starlight Auction House today. Instead, he headed towards the east side of the palace. As the two passed through the last busy street, the surrounding noise was gradually left behind, and the scenery in front of them became more open.
This place was originally a prince's mansion, with carved beams and painted rafters, pavilions and towers, and was once a prominent place in Xingluo City.
But now, that once magnificent palace has been completely razed to the ground, and the ruins have been cleared away, replaced by a bustling construction site.
Hundreds of craftsmen and laborers were busy on this open space. Some were measuring, some were moving stones, and some were mixing mortar. The shouts, the hammering, and the muffled sounds of stones colliding were all mixed together.
Deep trenches have been dug in the ground, and huge bluestone slabs are neatly stacked in them, crisscrossing and outlining the prototype of a magnificent building.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is laying the foundation, and judging from the scale and depth of the foundation, it is no ordinary building to be constructed.
Huo Yuhao's gaze slowly swept across the crowd, and soon locked onto a figure.
It was a tall, slender young man standing alone on a simple platform on the side of the construction site, looking down at the operation of the entire site under the blazing sun. This man was Gongyang Mo.
As Huo Yuhao walked towards him, Gongyang Mo quickly noticed him as well.
A hint of surprise flashed across Gongyang Mo's face, and then he leaped down from the high platform and strode forward to greet him.
Huo Yuhao watched him approach, his gaze falling on the fine beads of sweat on Gongyang Mo's forehead and his cheeks, which were slightly flushed from the sun.
He couldn't help but chuckle, his tone tinged with concern and helplessness: "You're not an architecture student, you don't need to stand here every day. Standing under this blazing sun for half a day, why bother?"
Gongyang Mo raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead haphazardly with his sleeve, but shook his head firmly.
"The first Spirit Transmission Tower must be built. I don't know anything about architecture, but as long as I stand here, no one will dare to cheat or tamper with the materials."
Huo Yuhao is a grateful person, and so is Gongyang Mo.
He will always remember that it was Huo Yuhao who helped him stand up again.
It's not just his legs, it's his entire life.
When everyone treated him as a worthless cripple, it was Huo Yuhao who gave him a chance.
It was Huo Yuhao who invited him to join the Spirit Pagoda, inviting him to become a member of this "promising" and great cause.
Gongyang Mo had no way to repay these kindnesses.
So all he could do was lay bare his heart and pour all his energy into the Spirit Transmission Tower that was rising from the ground.
He would watch with his own eyes every corner as each foundation stone was placed and every beam and pillar was erected, ensuring that the first Spirit Transmission Tower could be built perfectly.
Huo Yuhao didn't say anything more after hearing this, but silently raised his opinion of Gongyang Mo a few points higher.
He is a person who always distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. If someone treats him with sincerity, he will remember it and repay them a hundredfold in the future.
Gongyang Mo's sincerity and diligence were seen and remembered.
In that instant, a thought quietly took root in his heart.
In the future, we must find a suitable immortal herb for Gongyang Mo to help him break free from the shackles of his martial spirit.
Gongyang Mo's martial soul is the Rainbow Dragon, and in terms of support capabilities, it is comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one support martial soul in the world.
But just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Rainbow Dragon also has a fatal limitation: it is extremely difficult to advance further after reaching the seventh ring.
The gate leading to the Title Douluo seemed to have been firmly welded shut from the moment they awakened their martial souls.
This is almost universally acknowledged as a "flaw" in martial souls within the soul master world, and for thousands of years, almost no one has been able to break it, but Huo Yuhao just refuses to believe in this evil.
His Spirit Pagoda is just starting out, and it's precisely the time when he needs talented people.
If Gongyang Mo can break through this constraint, it will not only be a great thing for Gongyang Mo himself, but also of great significance to the future of the Spirit Pagoda.
Gongyang Mo was naturally unaware that Huo Yuhao in front of him was already plotting how to "defy fate" for him.
His gaze had already fallen on Leng Yaozhu beside Huo Yuhao, but he looked away after just one glance, secretly marveling at how outstanding the woman's appearance and temperament were.
He didn't dare to look at her too closely and asked, "Yuhao, who is this?"
Huo Yuhao immediately introduced, "This is my teacher, Leng Yaozhu."
Upon hearing this, a clear look of surprise flashed in Gongyang Mo's eyes.
He had never heard Huo Yuhao mention such a teacher before, and he instinctively wanted to greet him, but the words caught in his throat.
He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to call him.
Huo Yuhao noticed his embarrassment and smiled as he came to his rescue, saying, "Senior, you can just call me Tower Master. My teacher and I have already discussed it, and once the Spirit Pagoda is completed, my teacher will be the honorary Tower Master."
Upon hearing this, Gongyang Mo was startled, and his gaze towards Leng Yaozhu became even more respectful. He quickly and solemnly greeted her, "Tower Master!"
Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her elegant and noble face as a response.
After getting acquainted, Huo Yuhao glanced around at the busy construction site, then turned to Gongyang Mo and said, "Senior, there should be people from the Star Luo Royal Family on this construction site, right? Could you please arrange a meeting with Princess Jiujiu tonight?"
Gongyang Mo nodded without asking any further questions: "Okay, I'll have someone inform them right away."
After saying that, he turned and left, his steps crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
Leng Yaozhu watched his departing figure, a hint of approval flashing in her beautiful eyes. She rarely praised him, saying, "He's a good helper."
Huo Yuhao's lips curled up slightly: "Senior Gongyang is indeed very serious about his work."
