Plan successful!
Since Leng Yaozhu arrived at the Spirit Transmission Tower in Donghai City, Heita immediately simulated the calculation abilities of the Wisdom Sovereign and began to predict the near future.
Sure enough, everything unfolded exactly as she had predicted. Leng Yaozhu intended to take her as a direct disciple, and Mu Chen and Yuan Bao'er showed their support. With this, everything would proceed smoothly without raising anyone's suspicion.
To be honest, this kind of predictive ability is truly extraordinary. Since gaining this power, Heita has never made a mistake.
Having the whole world in the palm of her hand feels absolutely amazing!
But she couldn't be reckless—after all, Murphy's Law exists: the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. So Heita decided to take every step firmly and steadily.
If Yao Lan remembered correctly, in the original story Gu Yue's second profession was a mecha designer. So who did she learn it from?
Although it was never mentioned in the original, as Leng Yaozhu is Gu Yue's master, it's highly likely her second profession is also mecha designer. After all, this is Douluo Continent—a heritage line!
If Heita learns under this strong woman, she could easily master multiple secondary professions and eventually combine them all into one. This is the confidence that the "Wisdom" Wisdom Sovereign instills!
The Star God of Wisdom—surely its power is more than just predicting the future, right? The increase in intellect is also very obvious. Yao Lan has never felt his mind so clear, as if the concept of "human" is gradually drifting away from him.
This is frightening. It makes Yao Lan think of the Root Princess from the Type-Moon world—if one truly becomes omniscient and omnipotent, one would lose interest in everything.
Yao Lan will definitely have to find a way to solve this problem later, but for now, it's best to focus on the current issues.
"I want to help Dad and Mom too, so… please take care of me, Aunt Leng!"
Though her voice is still a bit childish, Heita's eyes locked firmly on Leng Yaozhu show her strong will—impressive for such a young child.
"I see, I understand." Yuan Bao'er sighed. Her daughter, who had only just come back a few days ago, had grown so fast that as a mother, she barely had time to enjoy her before having to send her off.
"Since Heita didn't refuse, then I have no objections. But Leng Jie (sister Leng), Heita is still my daughter. I don't want her to be bullied by anyone in the Spirit Transmission Tower!"
"Don't worry. Since she is my direct disciple, I definitely won't allow anyone to bully her!" Leng Yaozhu became serious. "Besides, there's a very high chance I won't have children in my lifetime, so I will treat Heita as my own daughter."
With that, a white light flickered in Leng Yaozhu's hand, and a token appeared.
"This is the token symbolizing my direct disciple. As long as you remain within the Spirit Transmission Tower's jurisdiction, you hold the rights of an apprentice Spirit Messenger."
"From now on, it belongs to you."
"Just call me Teacher from now on, Heita!"
Spirit Messengers are among the top authorities in the Spirit Transmission Tower, a renowned organization on the continent. The "apprentice" title is only because Heita is too young. When she grows enough, she can become a formal Spirit Messenger without any examination.
This is Leng Yaozhu's attitude and also her expectation for Heita.
"Thank you, Teacher!"
"But we've spent enough time here today. If we stay any longer, troublesome people will arrive. Next time, I will visit personally!"
Since the relationship had been settled, Leng Yaozhu had no worries. But she also knew that she wasn't the only one who had received news about Heita. If those old monsters came rushing over, things could get complicated again.
So she warned Mu Chen and his family to leave quickly, leaving the remaining matters to her, the deputy Tower Master, to handle.
Sure enough, within half an hour after Mu Chen and the others left, a figure dashed through the Spirit Transmission Tower gates at great speed. If Leng Yaozhu hadn't evacuated the place beforehand, many people might have been blown away by the strong gust.
"Where are they? Where's that child?"
"You're late, Qian Gu Dongfeng. They already left."
A familiar female voice caused the figure's speed to drop suddenly. She soon arrived in front of Leng Yaozhu. This was the current Tower Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, titled "Spirit Transmission," a level 99 Limit Douluo—Qian Gu Dongfeng.
"Sigh, you should have found a way to keep them here, Yaozhu..." Hearing the news they had left, Qian Gu Dongfeng sighed. But before he finished, Leng Yaozhu interrupted him harshly.
"Their situation is special. Forcing them to stay might cause trouble."
"Hm? What kind of special situation?"
"That's Mu Chen's child. Forcing her to stay will cause many problems."
"Mu Chen? The Sanctifier Mu Chen from the Forging Association?" Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Dongfeng's expression turned serious. Clearly, attacking a Sanctifier carries a heavy cost.
"But don't worry, I've already discussed it with them. That child is now my direct disciple. I plan to pay them a visit another day."
"If you're going, how can I, the Tower Master, miss out?"
After hearing Leng Yaozhu's words, Qian Gu Dongfeng nodded slightly. But after hearing about the visit, he had his own ideas and planned to come along.
"You can forget it, Qian Gu Dongfeng." Leng Yaozhu glared at him. "Do you think you're the kind of person kids like? That child is a little shy. If you come, she might not even dare to leave her room."
That was a lie!
Knowing Qian Gu Dongfeng's scheming nature, Leng Yaozhu guessed he was plotting something underhanded, trying to drag such a young child into a conspiracy. Even she felt a bit reluctant. So she made up an excuse to send him away, though Qian Gu Dongfeng was surprised by her assessment.
"That can't be right. Don't the kids in the Spirit Transmission Tower like me?" He tried to force a smile, but it only made Leng Yaozhu more speechless.
"You know those are just the Tower's kids, right? Also, are you joking with me? Go do your Tower Master work! As for the communication with Mu Chen and the Forging Association... I'll handle that."
No matter what, as long as Qian Gu Dongfeng cannot meet Heita, it's a victory for Leng Yaozhu.
