Volume 34, Chapter 486.1: Elder Xuan is Wise (1/2)
After entering the academy, Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei slowed down.
Bei Bei was a little puzzled as he asked, “Yuhao, what’s going on between you and Wutong? Why did she leave without saying a word after sending you back that day?”
Huo Yuhao was helpless as he replied, “I’m unsure too! We faced danger then. She must have saved me. Perhaps she was hurt or too tired. That’s why she was rushing back to the academy to rest.”
He didn’t dare to tell Bei Bei that he took nine stabs for Tang Wutong. If he did, he didn’t know how Bei Bei would admonish him. He wasn’t afraid of anyone else but Bei Bei. It was like facing Dai Luoli. He had always considered Bei Bei like his own biological elder brother.
Bei Bei said, “Since she saved you, you should go and visit her after we report to Elder Xuan. This time, Wutong has really treated you well by going so far to save you. I can tell that she likes you.”
Huo Yuhao revealed a bitter smile on his face. However, he didn’t outright reject Bei Bei. He only nodded slightly.
Bei Bei brought him as the two of them went to Sea God’s Island. They rushed straight to Sea God’s Pavilion under Bei Bei’s lead.
When they were outside the pavilion, Huo Yuhao stopped in front of the Golden Tree before kowtowing. Bei Bei did the same.
Huo Yuhao thought to himself, “Teacher, I’m back alive. I faced Long Xiaoyao this time, but I don’t know why he let me off. Is it because of you? Or something else? Why did my cultivation improve after I took the nine stabs? And why aren’t there any wounds on my body?”
Regarding this mystery, he could only ask Tang Wutong later on. However, he could roughly remember that Tang Wutong had fainted before he completely lost consciousness. How would she know anything if that’s the case? It would probably be too difficult for her.
Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly as he thought until here.
“Why are you sighing? Both of you, come in.” Elder Xuan’s voice came from the Sea God’s Pavilion.
Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei stood up and walked into the pavilion. Among the younger generation, only the two of them and Zhang Lexuan could enter and leave the Sea God’s Pavilion freely. This was because they were all members of the Sea God’s Pavilion. Without a doubt, they were going to be the leading figures of Shrek Academy in the future.
Elder Xuan was already waiting for them on the first level. He looked at Huo Yuhao and said, “Yuhao, why do you create a different problem every time you leave? You’re a problem magnet indeed!”
Huo Yuhao tensed up. Don’t tell me that Wutong has already told Elder Xuan about our meeting with the Darkness Holy Dragon? Elder senior will still scold me if Elder Xuan blurts it out!
However, he had no other choice, since things were already at this stage. He only thickened his skin and laughed, “Elder Xuan, I don’t know whether I’m fortunate or not. However, I did earn some merit this time! Even if I was wrong in some way, I should be able to make amends for it.”
Elder Xuan nodded and answered, “You did make a mistake, which is to cause trouble for me. However, you did well in the Extreme North. Tell me, how did you spoil the Sun Moon Empire’s plans? Logically speaking, you can’t deal with an entire soul engineer legion on your own. Qiuqiu’s words were also very ambiguous. She also doesn’t know what you did.”
Hup Yuhao coughed. “It’s like that. Elder Xuan, I’ve got some things to report to you. In fact, do you still remember the Spirit that I have?”
Elder Xuan thought for a moment before asking, “Are you talking about that young lady? The cute one?”
Huo Yuhao nodded hurriedly and answered, “Yes, her.”
“Of course I do. How could I not remember such a cute young lady? Why? What has she got to do with this?” Elder Xuan was puzzled. Even Bei Bei was curious. Even though he all along knew that Huo Yuhao’s strength was a little mysterious, this had to do with Huo Yuhao’s own privacy. If he didn’t say anything, he wouldn’t ask. But right now, his curiosity was piqued.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, “She isn’t some young girl. Talking about her background, it’s actually quite impressive.”
He recounted how he came upon the embryo of the Snow Empress when he was in the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, as well as how he fused with the Snow Empress. He also talked about how the Snow Empress had created a Spirit.
After hearing his story, Elder Xuan and Bei Bei were in awe!
