Listening to Gu Yuena's experience, Le Jing was filled with pity, while Qian Mo's mood was exceptionally complex.
Those five dark gold sharp blades couldn't be Xiong Jun's Dark Gold Dreadclaws, could they!
If that's the case, those two evil soul masters were very likely under the Myriad Demon King's mental control.
If it's really like this, doesn't it mean that group of fierce beasts might be watching them from the surroundings!
Ditian won't suddenly pop out from somewhere and hit them with a Dragon God Claw, will he!
Qian Mo wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, understanding that staying put and observing the enemy's situation was the most correct choice now.
Le Jing repeatedly confirmed that there were no issues with Gu Yuena and arranged for personnel to investigate her experience. Considering that Gu Yuena currently had nowhere to go, he decided to bring her back to the Holy Angel Family with them.
In the soul guidance car, Qian Mo sat by the window, staring blankly at the scenery outside, but in reality, he was observing Gu Yuena, who was huddled in the corner beside him, through the reflection on the window.
Qian Mo rested his chin on his hand, his gaze deep, lost in deep thought.
She called herself Gu Yuena, not Na'er, which indicated that she most likely hadn't lost her memory and possessed all of the Silver Dragon King's memories.
Therefore, that fearful appearance just now was probably faked by this old mother dragon of unknown age, and even their encounter this time was very likely meticulously planned by her.
But why would she do this? Was it because of me, or because of the Holy Angel Family?
In this regard, Qian Mo was still more inclined to believe that Gu Yuena was "coveting" him, because in the original work, Gu Yuena had no interaction with the Holy Angel Family, so it could only be because of him, this variable.
So what exactly on him attracted her?
And why would he feel a sacred aura very similar to his own on her?
Also, why was she the complete Gu Yuena from her first appearance, instead of Na'er who had lost all her memories? Was it also because of him?
Gu Yuena after transforming was not to be feared for now; the trouble was the group of fierce beasts behind her.
Ditian was too strong, almost reaching the limit of the Douluo Continent. Even if the Holy Angel Family's strongest, Le Zhengen, was an Ultimate Douluo and a Four-Word Battle Armor Master, he wouldn't be enough in front of Ditian.
The power gap between the two sides was a bit large, so they could only hope that Gu Yuena had no ill intentions.
At this moment, on the other side of the back seat, Gu Yuena lowered her head, her silver hair covering her eyes. Her thoughts had drifted back to yesterday afternoon.
After she completed her transformation in the secret place yesterday, she hadn't even walked two steps and properly felt this human body before she discovered a problem.
The sacred aura that enveloped and protected her soul was constantly "leaking" like a punctured balloon!
If the sacred aura continued to dissipate at this speed, her soul would likely lose its protection before long, and the resulting backlash would be even more fierce!
"Master, what should we do about this?" Ditian said worriedly.
Gu Yuena recalled the little boy who stood before the giant angel phantom. With her powerful spiritual power, she could discern that he was the source of this special sacred aura, and only he had this sacred aura within him.
She shook her head and said helplessly, "There is only one way: have that little boy stay by my side and absorb the sacred aura overflowing from within him."
Ditian immediately said, "Then I will go and capture that child for Master."
But Gu Yuena stopped Ditian and said in a deep voice, "This Holy Angel Family is not simple, and your characteristics are all too obvious. Whether it's you or Xiong Jun and the others making a move, there's a significant chance of exposure. Once you are recognized, it will have a considerable impact on my plan."
"Then what should we do, Master?" Ditian was momentarily undecided and could only ask.
A sharp glint flickered in Gu Yuena's eyes, and after a while, she finally came up with a method.
"Find a way for me to enter the Holy Angel Family in a suitable manner. This way, I can both absorb the sacred aura from that little boy and learn human knowledge, advancing the great plan for the revival of soul beasts."
"But in that case, Master, how long do you need to stay by that little boy's side?" Ditian asked again.
Gu Yuena silently estimated for a while and said, "Around three years, and I'll be able to mend my own flaws."
"Understood, Master." Ditian agreed and accompanied Gu Yuena to find a suitable way to enter the Holy Angel Family.
Most of the experience Gu Yuena just recounted was true. That group of evil soul masters was encountered by Gu Yuena and the fierce beasts when they followed Qian Mo and the others to Nanyang City this morning and were wandering around nearby.
When they were encountered, that group of evil soul masters had already cruelly killed and sacrificed all the children they had abducted. Gu Yuena controlled these evil soul masters and tortured them severely. After learning the whole story, Gu Yuena chose to transform herself into the only survivor among this group of orphans.
Using this identity, on the path Qian Mo and the others were bound to take, Gu Yuena and two evil soul masters mentally controlled by the Myriad Demon King performed a grand act in front of Qian Mo and the others.
After thoroughly understanding the Holy Angel Family's characteristics of hating evil like poison and upholding fairness and justice, Gu Yuena was certain that Qian Mo and Le Jing would definitely rescue her from the evil soul masters and bring her, who had nowhere to go, back to the Holy Angel Family.
Facts proved that she was correct. Now she just needed to find a way to stay in the Holy Angel Family.
The three people in the car had different thoughts, remained silent along the way, and safely returned to the Holy Angel Family's territory.
After returning home, Le Jing summoned a maid from the household to take the dirty Gu Yuena to take a bath and change into new clothes.
While waiting, Qian Mo and Le Jing discussed the investigation report sent back by the dispatched investigators.
"The investigators did find traces of the evil soul masters holding a sacrificial ritual in the abandoned village Gu Yuena mentioned, as well as the traces left by those five dark gold sharp blades."
Saying this, Le Jing showed Qian Mo the photos taken by the investigators at the scene. The five bottomless cracks were startling even through the photos.
Le Jing continued, "What Gu Yuena said is basically true. A welfare home in Fengxing City was indeed broken into by evil soul masters yesterday, and all the children inside were abducted."
"Then, have you found Gu Yuena's file?" Qian Mo asked.
"The welfare home has been burned into ruins by that group of evil soul masters, so the files were naturally destroyed as well. However, my people learned from a Soul Master responsible for awakening martial souls that he did awaken the martial soul for a very beautiful silver-haired little girl, which should be Gu Yuena," Le Jing replied.
"A'Mo, why do I feel like you're very suspicious of Gu Yuena's background?" Le Jing looked at Qian Mo suspiciously.
Qian Mo naturally couldn't tell Le Jing the real reason, so he just laughed it off, "Not at all, it's just normal inquiry."
"Alright, honestly, Uncle, how are you planning to arrange for Gu Yuena?"
Le Jing thought for a moment and replied, "I plan to find a good family to foster her."
She probably won't leave easily, Qian Mo thought to himself.
