#655 - Angry Gu Yuena

“In that case, I'll arrange for your elder to go to the Spirit Transfer Master side. It just so happens that we're short on staff recently, and I'll also arrange for someone to teach your elder how to become familiar with the business.”

Hua Tao, as if afraid that everyone hadn't heard clearly, repeated it again, each word clearly enunciated, echoing in the spacious and quiet conference room.

“Spirit Transfer Master?”

The high-level executives present looked at each other.

You should know that the Spirit Transfer Master position is usually responsible for helping children awaken their martial souls and also bears the task of promoting soul spirits. There are many daily chores, and almost any trivial task can fall on their heads. It is definitely a position at the bottom of the Spirit Transfer Tower system.

And Gu Yuena's elder is a Super Douluo!

Any force, as long as it has a Super Douluo, can call itself a first-class force.

Even in a large organization like the Spirit Transfer Tower, the status of a Super Douluo is definitely not low, and is enough to enter the decision-making level.

But now, the branch tower master actually wants a Super Douluo to be a grassroots staff member. Isn't this naked humiliation?

Even if they don't let the other party enter the decision-making level, at least they should give the other party an executive-level position.

Even if Gu Yuena said that arrangements could be made at discretion, that was just polite talk. When you arrange a position for your superior's relative, you have to arrange it into the management, which is almost a tacit understanding.

After hearing Hua Tao's words, Gu Yuena frowned subconsciously and asked faintly, “Tower Master Hua, have we met before?”

“No.” Hua Tao replied succinctly, his eyes meeting Gu Yuena's frankly, with seemingly no hidden emotions.

“Then could it be that in my previous question, something offended Tower Master Hua?”

“No.”

“If that's the case, then why is Tower Master Hua deliberately trying to give me a hard time?” Gu Yuena looked at Hua Tao, her tone neither salty nor bland, but faintly revealing a sense of oppression.

Hua Tao smiled slightly, a smile that seemed meaningful in the eyes of everyone, “Spirit Transfer Envoy, why do you say that? I'm just acting according to normal rules.”

“Since your elder is interested in soul spirits, then I will naturally arrange for him to enter a position where he can come into contact with soul spirits at any time. Isn't this very in line with your requirements?”

Gu Yuena raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression cold, and slowly said, “But if I remember correctly, that's only for ordinary soul masters. According to the rules of the Spirit Transfer Tower, as long as a powerhouse above the Two-Word Battle Armor Master is willing to join, they can obtain a not-low position.”

Hua Tao interrupted Gu Yuena's words, “These are the rules of our Douling Continent Spirit Transfer Tower. Otherwise, if some people with ulterior motives mix in, it will be troublesome. I hope the Spirit Transfer Envoy can understand.”

The atmosphere was somewhat stagnant for a while, as if a tense atmosphere permeated the air. At this point, the people present were not fools. How could they not see that Tower Master Hua was clearly provoking this Spirit Transfer Envoy!

But what is he trying to achieve?

Didn't Qiangu Dongfeng say before that they should take care of this Spirit Transfer Envoy? Everyone's hearts were filled with doubts, and they secretly guessed Hua Tao's intentions.

If I remember correctly, Hua Tao's family is also a supporter of the Qiangu family in the Spirit Transfer Tower. Logically speaking, he should listen to Qiangu Dongfeng's arrangement and assist and support Gu Yuena, this Spirit Transfer Envoy.

The smile on Gu Yuena's face gradually faded, and her originally relaxed brows also unconsciously furrowed slightly.

Before coming to Douling Continent, Qiangu Dongfeng had solemnly told her that Branch Tower Master Hua Tao of Douling Continent was his confidant. If she encountered any problems here, she could go to Hua Tao for help.

At that time, Gu Yuena firmly believed in this, but now, looking at Hua Tao, who had a completely different attitude, she couldn't help but feel a murmur in her heart, and even began to suspect that Qiangu Dongfeng was deliberately teasing her.

After all, everything in front of her was so different from Qiangu Dongfeng's previous instructions.

Gu Yuena said, “Tower Master Hua, before I came here, the Tower Master told me that you are a trustworthy person.”

Hua Tao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, “The Spirit Transfer Envoy also said that was before.”

“Does the Tower Master know about Tower Master Hua doing this?”

Hearing the branch tower master's so straightforward words, Gu Yuena already understood in her heart that the other party had clearly changed his allegiance. A trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and her tone became more questioning, trying to find out more hidden secrets from Hua Tao's mouth.

“Looking at the Spirit Transfer Envoy's appearance, I always think of a person.” Hua Tao did not directly respond to Gu Yuena's question, but changed the subject and abruptly threw out a seemingly irrelevant remark.

Gu Yuena remained calm, still maintaining a steady posture, and asked softly, “I wonder who Tower Master Hua is thinking of?”

“Fors · Wall.”

“Fors?!”

Gu Yuena's pupils shrank instantly, and a storm surged in her heart.

What the hell? If I remember correctly, Fors shouldn't have met this branch tower master. This sudden connection made her feel very surprised, and at the same time, she was even more curious about Hua Tao's next words.

“Has Tower Master Hua met Fors?” Gu Yuena asked, her eyes locked on Hua Tao, trying to capture a trace of clues from his expression.

A smile appeared on the corner of Hua Tao's mouth, a smile with a hint of smugness, and he slowly said, “Yes, I have contacted that Spirit Transfer Envoy when reporting to the headquarters.”

“Are you giving me a hard time now because of Fors as well?”

“Yes.” Hua Tao nodded without hesitation, his tone with an unquestionable certainty, “The Tower Master is old enough. Compared to him, I am more optimistic about His Excellency Fors.”

“Hua — —”

The surrounding high-level executives of the Spirit Transfer Tower instantly became noisy. Although they had already had vague guesses in their hearts, when Hua Tao admitted it so bluntly, they still couldn't suppress the shock in their hearts, and unbelievable expressions appeared on their faces.

You should know that the Hua family, where Hua Tao is located, is one of the long-standing families in the Spirit Transfer Tower. Its family background is profound, and it has always played an important role in the development history of the Spirit Transfer Tower.

Hua Tao himself was deeply trusted and relied upon by Qian Gu Dongfeng. Otherwise, Qian Gu Dongfeng wouldn't have entrusted him with the cooperative matters related to the Holy Spirit Church. From this, it's not difficult to see the extent of Qian Gu Dongfeng's trust in him.

But now, this confidant of the Tower Master actually openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Tower Master, even uttering such rebellious words.

"Why?"

Gu Yuena's expression remained unchanged. "What kind of bargaining chips did Fols offer you? That you would betray the Tower Master."

"Betrayal is out of the question, I'm just a little tired," Hua Tao said indifferently. "And frankly, I do favor Her Excellency Fols more."

"Whether in terms of appearance or strength, I don't think anyone in the current Spirit Transfer Tower can compare to her. Even Your Excellency Gu Yuena, in my eyes, is slightly inferior to her."

"Boom—"

A surge of malevolence flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes. Immediately afterward, intense mental fluctuations erupted from her body like a raging tide.

The surrounding space seemed unable to withstand the impact of this powerful force, and it became distorted as a result. The originally calm air now roiled violently like boiling water.

Several high-level members of the Spirit Transfer Tower nearby felt a tightness in their chests, as if invisible hands were tightly gripping their throats, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Even Hua Tao, whose strength had reached the Super Douluo level, experienced a brief blankness in his mind under this sudden mental shock. His thoughts seemed frozen, and his body stiffened involuntarily.

Fortunately, this powerful mental force came quickly and went quickly. After only a moment, everything returned to calm, as if the thrilling scene just now had never happened.

"I apologize, Tower Master Hua, I was a little out of control just now," Gu Yuena said calmly, retracting her rampaging mental power and restoring her usual composure.

However, the anger in her heart had not completely dissipated. She had to admit that Hua Tao had indeed successfully provoked her. Of all people to compare her to, he had to choose Fols.

Moreover, it would have been fine if he had said her strength was inferior to Fols, but he even dared to say that her appearance was not as good as Fols. This was absolutely unbearable for Gu Yue, who had always had a high opinion of herself.

"Spirit Domain Realm!"

Several high-level members of the Spirit Transfer Tower exchanged glances, a hint of horror flashing in their eyes. They had to know that their cultivation had reached the Title Douluo level, and they could be considered powerful figures on the Douluo Continent.

However, when this young Spirit Transfer Envoy erupted just now, they clearly felt a peculiar force field around them changing rapidly.

Although it only distorted the space for a brief moment, that fleeting instant was enough to make them feel their hair standing on end and their spines chilling.

Without a doubt, if this Spirit Transfer Envoy had harbored malicious intentions just now, at least a few of them would have died on the spot.

"My, are you reacting so strongly?"

Looking at Gu Yuena, whose face still bore a trace of coldness, Hua Tao also understood that it was not appropriate to continue provoking this Spirit Transfer Envoy.

After all, if they really fought, he would definitely not be Gu Yuena's opponent, even if Gu Yuena had only just reached the Title Douluo level.

"The Spirit Transfer Envoy has come from afar and must be tired. Please rest for a while. Later, I will host a banquet to entertain the Spirit Transfer Envoy."

"Alright, then I thank Tower Master Hua for your hospitality." Seeing Hua Tao's attitude, Gu Yuena also understood that continuing to talk would not lead to any good results. So she stood up and left, accompanied by the staff.

After Gu Yuena left, the entire conference room was silent for a moment, and then a high-level member said, "Branch Tower Master, are you really not planning to support the Tower Master anymore?"

Hua Tao glanced at these high-level members and said, "I know what you want to say, it's nothing more than worrying about whether your own interests will be damaged. You can rest assured about this. I have already found reliable allies."

"Joining them will definitely bring more benefits than the Tower Master's side. And over the years, watching those evil soul masters, I don't believe that you don't feel dissatisfied with the Tower Master."

Hearing Hua Tao's words, the high-level members present immediately smiled awkwardly. Indeed, they had long been displeased with those evil soul masters, but they had been helping them cover up only because of Qian Gu Dongfeng's orders.

"Branch Tower Master, could you tell us the details of that friend, so that we can all have a bottom line?" Another high-level member of the Spirit Transfer Tower asked impatiently.

Hua Tao revealed a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, she has already arrived."

"Tap, tap, tap!"

Accompanied by a series of light footsteps, a nun walked into the conference room as if no one else was there.

"Everyone, [please]..."

...

Douluo Continent, Tianhai City Lord's Residence.

"Demon Shark's Teeth." Accompanied by a certain Demon Soul Great White Shark using her innate soul skill, a giant walrus was immediately bitten to death by her.

The walrus wanted to struggle, but unfortunately, it was facing the top predator in the sea: the Demon Soul Great White Shark. Faced with this powerful soul beast, the walrus's struggle seemed so weak.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark didn't seem to be in a hurry to end the walrus's life. It shook its head from time to time, "torturing" the walrus with its sharp teeth, enjoying the despairing and helpless aura emanating from the other party's struggle.

Every struggle of the walrus made the Demon Soul Great White Shark feel a sense of conquest.

Under the Demon Soul Great White Shark's continuous attacks, the walrus's struggle gradually weakened. Finally, accompanied by a violent tremor, the walrus slowly stopped struggling.

"Gulu～"

A soft swallowing sound rang out, Bai Xiuxiu's face was flushed, like the sunset in the sky, she slowly emerged from under the desk.

Bai Xiuxiu's hair was slightly disheveled, and her deep blue eyes sparkled with a strange light, but it added a bit of different charm. Her breathing was also slightly rapid, and her chest heaved violently, showing that she had just experienced an intense "battle."

"Hoo～ Hoo～"

Nan Fusheng sat in the chair, panting heavily, with a sage-like expression on his face. A trace of fatigue was revealed in his eyes, but it was mixed with a trace of satisfaction. His body leaned back slightly, resting on the back of the chair, as if he was reminiscing about everything that had just happened.

"You performed well today, continue tomorrow."

Bai Xiuxiu stretched out her small fragrant tongue and gently licked the corner of her mouth. The movement seemed unintentional, but it was full of temptation. In her deep blue eyes, there was even a hint of charm. Under the soft light in the room, she looked extremely alluring, as if she could stir up the desires deep in people's hearts.
