Chapter 140 Who are you?
Yan Shaozhe tossed a storage ring to Huo Yuhao and said, "The academy deducted two-thirds of the compensation from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. This is for the three of you."
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen's eyes flashed with anger. They had guessed correctly; Dai Yueheng had indeed assassinated Huo Yuhao!
Huo Yuhao bowed slightly to Yan Shaozhe and said respectfully, "Thank you to the academy and Uncle Yan for standing up for us. Otherwise, we wouldn't even have received an apology."
Yan Shaozhe smiled calmly and said, "Alright, stop pretending with me! I wonder which brat was trying to mess with me back then!"
Huo Yuhao scratched his head, gave an embarrassed smile, and said, "Dean Yan, is there something you want to ask me?"
"There are indeed some issues. Can you tell me about the changes in your and Le Xuan's martial souls? If not, just pretend I didn't say anything."
A hint of surprise flashed in Ma Xiaotao's and Ling Luochen's eyes. Yan Shaozhe didn't actually intend to delve deeper? Ma Xiaotao especially knew that her teacher was notoriously controlling, and also a bit petty and calculating.
It's strange that when people ask Huo Yuhao questions these days, they don't try to get a clear understanding of his background and circumstances.
Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan exchanged a glance, then looked back at Yan Shaozhe and said, "Let me explain. Sister Lexuan encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the Great Perilous Land. That beast happened to possess the Silver Dragon bloodline. Their contact caused Sister Lexuan's Moon Martial Soul to undergo a second awakening. Moreover, that 100,000-year-old soul beast was nearing its end and wanted to pass on its power to Sister Lexuan, so this second awakening itself was also a kind of bloodline fusion..."
"Wait! You mean that the 100,000-year-old soul beast has taken a liking to Le Xuan and wants to sacrifice itself for her to become her ninth soul ring?"
""
Yan Shaozhe was immediately horrified. He couldn't understand why the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest would suddenly offer them, the humans, such a benefit!
Did the sun rise in the west?!
Yan Shaozhe's words startled Ma Xiaotao and her companion, who were standing to the side in a daze. Aside from hearing about Xiao Wu sacrificing herself for Tang San ten thousand years ago, they had never heard of a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast actually sacrificing itself for a human.
Zhang Lexuan's lips twitched slightly. Even she was startled by the lie Huo Yuhao had told her. Although her ninth spirit ring had indeed been reserved by the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena...
"Uh, actually it's not quite the same, but Uncle Yan's understanding isn't wrong, is it..." Huo Yuhao was also shocked by Yan Shaozhe's words, and with a forced smile, he could only say that.
"This is great news! Great news! Are there any similar situations in their Star Dou Great Forest? We can provide them with a bunch of candidates..." Yan Shaozhe perked up immediately upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, and the conversation flowed freely.
Listening to Yan Shaozhe's incessant chatter, Huo Yuhao felt a headache coming on. He quickly interrupted him, saying helplessly, "Uncle Yan! Calm down! I already said it's not a sacrifice! The soul beasts are just conducting some experiments; it's impossible to roll it out all at once!"
"I got too excited!" Yan Shaozhe snapped out of his daze upon hearing this, but he still gripped Huo Yuhao's shoulders tightly, looking intently at him, and said, "If there's any good news, you must tell us! The academy will absolutely support anything good that the Star Dou Great Forest is willing to do!"
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, then followed Yan Shaozhe's suggestion and said, "Uncle Yan, I'll take a group of people over first. I've already selected the personnel."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe's expression immediately turned somewhat strange. He glanced at Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, then at Zhang Lexuan, giving her a knowing look. He patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder and whispered to him, "You little rascal! Take it easy! Don't follow in my footsteps!"
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched a few times, and he forced a smile, "Uncle Yan is joking—."
"By the way, what's with that stellar aura of yours? It's even purer than the Star Crown, the inherited martial soul of the Star Luo royal family. I've never heard of or seen anything like it before."
"That? That's the second attribute of my second martial soul. Because it consumes too much energy, I usually only use the ultimate ice attribute when I use my second martial soul, so I've never used it before. Before, when I was with Sister Lexuan in the Star Dou Great Forest, I happened to use the Ice Seal again, and my martial soul's origin hadn't recovered yet, so I amplified Sister Luochen and used her power."
"You're quite gifted, kid! Alright, that's all my questions. You guys can go back now."
"yes!"
"Oh, right! Remember to come on time tomorrow! Lexuan doesn't need to, you're going to the Foreign Languages Department for the reserve team selection!"
When the bell rang, Wang Yan packed up his lecture notes and left the classroom, followed by the others who gradually left as well.
Because Huo Yuhao was taken away temporarily, the other girls gathered together to look for Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er.
The classroom quickly emptied as everyone rushed off to eat lunch. Only Zhu Lu remained listlessly in her seat, staring blankly at Dai Huabin's former seat.
The Duchess of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion chose herself from a collateral branch of the Netherworld Duke's Mansion, solely to find a medium for her son's Martial Soul Fusion Technique. Her parents, in order to ensure her selection, spent a considerable amount of gold soul coins to bribe the Netherworld Duke's Mansion's steward...
Now that Dai Huabin has been fired, what's the point of me staying here?
Perhaps before long, the Duke of Youming's mansion will send her a secret letter, urging her to drop out of school early and go to Dai Huabin's side.
From beginning to end, Zhu Lu knew perfectly well that she was nothing more than a tool, a tool for the marriage alliance between the Youming and Baihu families.
They could find someone else even if she wasn't there. Her parents had also received a large sum of money because of her; in effect, that family had sold her off like a commodity...
Is there anywhere else she can go?
Zhu Lu gazed out the window, at the familiar face reflected in the glass, and murmured to herself, "Zhu Lu, do you have any other choice?"
She remembered what Huo Yuhao had said before; those were the only two paths she had left.
But could I really be of any help? He had clearly stated that he didn't need a useless vase...
Just as Zhu Lu was hesitating, her own face on the glass gradually blurred, and a beautiful face with long silver hair and amethyst eyes slowly emerged from the blurry image.
"Who are you?!" Zhu Lu looked at the face in front of her in panic and stood up reflexively, causing the tables and chairs to bang loudly from her sudden movement.
