Douluo Dragon King: The stars of the heavens, transform me into king!

With a brief conversation, an exchange in which both parties got what they wanted was achieved.

A deeper level of scheming unfolded once again.

The generous salary and holidays are the obvious incentives, while bringing children to Mingdu School is the hidden, tightly linked chain that holds everything together.

Both sides were fully aware of this, and Tang Ziran and Lang Yue were even more certain that as long as they didn't do anything reckless, nothing would happen to them!

The office door slid open silently and closed silently.

Gu Yuexingyan stood up again, looking across the entire Mingdu City, and said with a smile, "Since it's almost time, we can let that person out! Although he used to be from Shrek Academy, haven't they all left Shrek Academy now? The favor I did for him is far greater than that of Shrek Academy..."

He smiled faintly, as if he were pondering something.

Suddenly, the secretary entered the office again, her voice still steady, and said, "Speaker, another guest who made a long-awaited appointment has arrived!"

"Are you on an appointment? Who's here?" Gu Yuexingyan asked with a smile.

"It's the patriarch of the Star Holy Sword family! He's come specifically to see you!" the secretary added.

Gu Yuexingyan slowly turned around, a smile still on his face: "Let him in!"

The secretary bowed slightly and withdrew.

Gu Yuexing walked back to his desk, crossed his fingers, and casually placed his hands on the table in front of him.

This posture was completely different from when facing Tang Ziran and his wife; it was less approachable and more authoritative, befitting someone in a dominant position.

The Star Saint Sword family, the Ye family.

Without a doubt, they came for the Star God Sword.

In the history of the Ye family, the Star God Sword has appeared seven times. Each time it appeared, the person who appeared became the head of the Ye family and led the Ye family to a glorious generation.

However, the Star God Sword Martial Soul cannot be stably passed down.

Of course, the Star God Sword is very strong, but when facing Gu Yuexingyan with the same level of soul power, it can only mourn.

Star Chess uses the starry sky as the board and the stars as the pieces.

It's obvious who is stronger and who is weaker at a glance.

His power, Gu Yuexingyan, originated from the three luminaries of the sun, moon, and stars. In terms of understanding, mastering, and exploring stellar power, within the scope of his own knowledge in the current Douluo Continent—

He claims to be second to none.

This is not arrogance, but rather the clearest understanding of one's own abilities.

The visit of the Star Saint Sword family was less of an accident and more of an inevitable attraction.

The door was pushed open silently.

The secretary stepped aside, made a "please" gesture, and then disappeared into the shadows of the corridor, leaving the space entirely to the visitor and the room's occupant.

A middle-aged man walked in.

He was thin and wiry, dressed in a well-tailored, almost old-fashioned, dark blue long gown, the fabric shimmering with a subtle, star-like matte sheen under the light. His face was handsome, with the marks of time etched in his eyes.

What is most striking about him are his eyes, with a rare star-purple hue in the pupil.

He walked steadily and lightly to the center of the office, stopping a few steps away from Gu Yuexingyan's desk.

Gu Yuexingyan remained seated in the large chair, without rising. He merely raised his eyes slightly, his gaze calmly falling upon the newcomer.

The middle-aged man met his gaze and gave a slight bow, with a sense of politeness. His voice was not loud, but his enunciation was exceptionally clear.

"Greetings, Speaker of the Federal Parliament. My name is Ye Jingxiu. I am the current patriarch of the Ye family of the Star Holy Sword Sect."

He skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point: "I apologize for visiting, but it is because a major event has occurred in our clan."

At this point, he paused, knowing he was not qualified to say such a thing, but ultimately he spoke the words he had discussed with the clan elders.

"In recent years, a child has emerged in our clan, gifted with extraordinary talent. He is now nine years old." His description was simple and straightforward, without explicitly stating anything.

"The Ye family has a long history, and their knowledge tends to be somewhat outdated," Ye Jingxiu continued, his clear eyes fixed on Gu Yuexingyan. "We can no longer provide her with more suitable guidance. We've heard that Mingdu Academy gathers the essence of contemporary Soul Master education on the continent, and is supported by the most cutting-edge Soul Guidance Technology and theories. We hope to enroll her."

"If the Speaker of the Federal Parliament takes a liking to her and offers some guidance in her cultivation, that would be wonderful!"

After he finished speaking, the office fell silent.

Gu Yuexing listened quietly, his face expressionless. He tapped the back of his hand lightly with his interlaced index fingers, once, twice.

If he remembered correctly, the Star Saint Sword family had been his close associates before he took power. He had originally thought they were going to learn about the Starry Sky Technique, but unexpectedly, they had sent Ye Xinglan to Mingdu.

Since he was being sent to Mingdu Academy, he had no reason to refuse.

"Just enrollment?" he asked, his voice steady as ever, yet carrying an indescribable weight. "That's perfectly fine. Mingdu Academy was established to gather talents from all corners of the world. Those with exceptional talent deserve the most suitable cultivation."

The tense and solemn look in Ye Jingxiu's clear eyes seemed to ease slightly with Gu Yuexingyan's words. He nodded slightly again, this time more pronounced: "Thank you, Speaker. The Ye family is deeply grateful."

"The secretary will coordinate with Mr. Ye regarding the specific procedures and testing arrangements, and ensure that everything complies with Mingdu Academy's admission process." Gu Yuexingyan turned to the secretary standing quietly to the side and gave her a look.

The secretary immediately stepped forward and gestured to Ye Jingxiu, "Mr. Ye, please come with me. We need to register some basic information and determine the preliminary assessment process for Ms. Ye Xinglan."

Ye Jingxiu bowed to Gu Yuexingyan again, then followed his secretary toward the door.

The door closed gently.

Gu Yuexingyan's office fell silent again as he looked at a message in his mailbox, sent by Le Zhengen.

After examining it carefully, he nodded in agreement!

After doing all this, he turned off all the light curtains. The last light in the room went out.

He stood up, a faint smile flashing in his eyes. His schedule for the day had now come to a close.

He hoped that in a few days, when the Tang Clan saw his grand gift, they would accept it calmly. After all, this move was just to make them behave themselves. Of course, if they fell into a trap, then they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

He walked out without his secretary. His assistant, who was waiting outside, quickly stood up and said casually, "Prepare the car."

Without the slightest hesitation, the assistant immediately lowered his head and operated the communicator. Gu Yuexingyan walked through the corridor and entered the private elevator.

In the private passageway on the ground floor of the building, a sleek black Soul Guidance sedan was silently parked at the entrance. The driver, dressed in a crisp uniform, silently opened the car door for him.

As I sat in the back seat, the car was filled with a faint, cedar-like fragrance.

The car doors closed, instantly shutting out all outside sounds.

The vehicle started its engine and gradually merged into the traffic, heading towards the outskirts of Mingdu.
