Gu You's blood immediately began to surge with excitement. Who cared about the cycle of cause and effect? Once he broke through to the Title Douluo level, who could stop him?
His hand firmly grasped Chen Shilin's.
"Long live the Federation!" Chen Shilin shouted loudly.
"Long live the great unity of the Douluo people!!" Gu You smiled as he looked at Chen Shilin.
Chen Shilin laughed heartily, continuously patting Gu You on the shoulder. At that moment, he finally understood what kind of person Gu You truly was.
With someone like him around, even if the Federation couldn't unify Douluo, it would still be prosperous and safe...
"Senior Brother, is there a reason you're calling at this time?" Mu Chen looked at the watch on his left arm. It was 4 PM. By now, Zhen Hua should have closed for the day and started resting. Why would he still have time to contact him, his junior?
Although it might not seem very considerate, Zhen Hua's rest time was regulated by the Federation government. For a blacksmith of Zhen Hua's caliber, every time he forged rare ores, it consumed immense energy and vitality. Plus, Zhen Hua was getting older, and sometimes, rest was absolutely necessary.
"Haha! Little Mu, big news! Let me tell you..."
"What?! You took on an apprentice?" Mu Chen was startled. What kind of genius could Zhen Hua possibly take as an apprentice? His senior brother had a very discerning eye, and over the years, the only person he had considered truly a talented blacksmith was the recent Tang Wulin. Even his daughter, who had become a level two blacksmith at a young age, didn't meet his senior brother's expectations.
"That's right. The main reason I'm calling you is that my apprentice wants to go develop in East Sea City. I hope you can take care of him and let him join East Sea Academy for study."
"Okay, I understand. Once he comes to the association, I'll personally take care of him." Mu Chen said calmly before hanging up the phone. He let out a long sigh. He had originally planned to recommend Tang Wulin to Zhen Hua—a nine-year-old level three blacksmith who could easily suppress all other blacksmiths of the same level. But unexpectedly, someone had beaten him to it.
"So quick to hang up the phone?" Zhen Hua put down his mobile phone. His junior brother had talent and vision, but he was difficult to persuade. There was still much information about Gu You that he hadn't shared yet. Now, all he could do was hope that Mu Chen hadn't made a mistake.
...
"You're really not afraid? What if I say everything you told me today?" Gu You took a sip of fragrant tea, aged Oolong tea. It was indeed aromatic! The speed at which his soul power circulated increased significantly.
Chen Shilin smiled wryly. "Of course I'm afraid, who wouldn't be? But I trust you. I rarely get my judgment wrong."
Gu You was speechless. If your judgment was so sharp, why did you call me here to tell me all this?
"Let's get this straight—don't go sneaking around probing into my affairs. Everyone has their privacy. But I am curious, how did you manage to gather information about me in front of the Limit Douluo?" Gu You was curious. From their conversation just now, he was certain that the Federation must have some special means of investigation.
"That's classified for now. I can only tell you this—times have changed, and technology has become a dominant force. In the future, soul masters will become less important." Chen Shilin gazed at the clear blue sky outside the transparent glass.
"Well, if you won't tell me, you won't tell me. But when I have a problem that I can't solve, I can always come to you, right?" Gu You looked at Chen Shilin.
"Of course you can..."
