Chapter 271 What?! He found out?!
"The Clear Sky Hammer? So you're from the Clear Sky Sect."
Huo Yuhao clicked his tongue in amazement.
Wang Dong raised his head high and said proudly, "How about that? Didn't expect that, did you?"
Huo Yuhao chimed in, "Entering Shrek Academy—my roommate is actually a descendant of the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Haha, what are you talking about? It's not that exaggerated."
Wang Dong burst into laughter at Huo Yuhao's words.
Seeing the two arguing, Cai Meier frowned slightly: "This is an office, please keep quiet."
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong immediately fell silent, apologized, and slunk away from the vice dean's office of the Martial Soul Department.
"Those two guys."
Cai Meier glanced at Wang Dong's file and chuckled, "The Goddess of Light Butterfly... Aren't you going to reveal your hand at this point?"
Cai Meier wasn't too surprised that Wang Dong's second martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, since Wang Dong's file indicated that the recommendation letter for the outer academy came from the Clear Sky Sect.
The fact that Wang Dong's surname led them to believe that he was just a disciple from outside the Haotian Sect who was taken in by chance, which is why he was sent to Shrek Academy for training.
Unexpectedly, Wang Dong is actually a direct descendant of the Haotian Sect.
It seems we need to improve the overall strength of the team leaders. If something happens to Wang Dong, it will be troublesome if the Haotian Sect comes knocking.
After thinking about it, Cai Meier decided that since she didn't have much to do at the moment and was just idling around anyway, she might as well go there herself.
"Where to go next?"
As soon as he stepped out of the office, Wang Dong couldn't wait to speak.
"Play?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Instead of wasting time on this, we'd be better off practicing more. The Soul Master Competition is coming up soon, and we'll have to see how we perform then."
In the previous competition, Huo Yuhao and his team didn't play a significant role; they mostly served as assistants. The main fighting force was Ma Xiaotao and her team.
"All you do all day is cultivate, aren't you afraid of making yourself stupid?"
Wang Dong muttered, "Anyway, you're stuck at level 50 right now, so even if you cultivate, you won't be able to break through. Why don't you go relax a bit?"
"No, I still need to go to the Star Dou Great Forest in the next couple of days to replenish my soul tools in preparation for any unexpected situations that may arise among the people of the Star Dou Great Forest."
Huo Yuhao shook his head and left without paying any attention to the somewhat bewildered Wang Dong, heading towards the Soul Guidance Department laboratory.
Huo Yuhao wasn't lying. During his time at Sun Moon Academy, he had focused all his energy on tinkering with battle armor. The soul tools he used were still the level four or five soul tools made by Shrek Academy. The only upgrade he made was the flying soul tool he used for traveling.
With two days left, Huo Yuhao planned to upgrade his soul tools. Considering he was already level 50, he could focus on level 6 soul tools, with level 5 and 7 as secondary tools.
"rain……"
Wang Dong watched Huo Yuhao's retreating figure, his lips slightly parted, but ultimately he didn't say anything.
"You idiot, you're so stupid!"
After standing there for a while, Wang Dong muttered a curse and stormed back to Poseidon Island.
"Honestly, it's rare for you to come back, and all you do is cultivate or use your soul tools every day."
Because he was walking in a hurry, Wang Dong didn't pay attention to the road and accidentally stepped on a loose stone, almost twisting his right ankle.
thump--!
In a fit of anger, Wang Dong vented his frustration on the stone, kicking it towards Sea God Lake. After a few splashes, the stone sank to the bottom of the lake.
Still not satisfied, Wang Dong found a few more stones and kicked them all into the water, creating ripples on the lake.
Looking at Wang Dong, who was sulking by the lake, Mu En's eyes were somewhat deep.
Tang San... Wang Dong... Huo Yuhao...
The situation of these three people is indeed complicated.
Judging from Huo Yuhao's continued vigilance inside the Sea God Pavilion and the fact that Wang Dong is suspected to be a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, Huo Yuhao has always been wary of the deity associated with Wang Dong.
That is... Tang San.
For some unknown reason, Tang San set his sights on Huo Yuhao. Although Tang San's purpose is unknown, there is no doubt that Huo Yuhao is wary of Tang San.
Based on my understanding of Huo Yuhao over this period of time, Huo Yuhao is not an unreasonable person. On the contrary, he is very easygoing and the kind of person who can live a very relaxed and comfortable life on his own. As long as you don't provoke him, it is difficult to incur his dislike.
Therefore, judging from Huo Yuhao's personality, the conflict between the two was very likely caused by Tang San.
Can……
Why Tang San?
Tang San, a sage from ten thousand years ago who thwarted the Spirit Hall's conspiracy to destroy the Three Kingdoms, was he someone with ulterior motives?
Judging from the fact that Wang Dong disguised herself as a man without any reason and lived in the same dormitory as Huo Yuhao, it can be seen that Wang Dong was a pawn that Tang San had planted next to Huo Yuhao a long time ago.
It's obvious that Tang San wants to use Wang Dong to bind Huo Yuhao; it's unclear whether it's a honey trap or some other method.
For some reason, Huo Yuhao seemed to have realized this, and thus transferred some of his wariness from Tang San to Wang Dong, which is why the two, despite having feelings for each other, couldn't continue their relationship.
How Huo Yuhao discovered Wang Dong's abnormality remains a question, and how Huo Yuhao knew that Tang San was behind it is also one of Mu En's doubts.
However, it can be inferred that this is most likely related to Huo Yuhao's subtle ability to foresee the future.
Why was it Wang Dong who contacted Huo Yuhao? Is there anything special about Wang Dong's identity? Or is it because having twin martial souls can better conceal his identity as a member of the Clear Sky Sect? Then why is he now actively revealing the existence of his second martial soul?
Aside from the Haotian Sect and Wang Dong's faction, Huo Yuhao's relationship with the Tang Sect is also somewhat peculiar.
Mu En asked Tang Ya, and Tang Ya and Bei Bei met Huo Yuhao by chance in the Star Dou Great Forest and eventually invited Huo Yuhao to join the Tang Sect.
Huo Yuhao's feelings for Tang Ya and Bei Bei don't seem fake; at least they're different from his other classmates', and even purer than Wang Dong's.
This is also a contradiction. If Tang Ya is connected to Tang San and is one of Tang San's pawns, it is unlikely that Huo Yuhao would be on good terms with Tang Ya.
Judging from Huo Yuhao's attitude, Tang San did not directly interfere in the affairs of the Tang Sect.
If Tang San's schemes against Huo Yuhao have nothing to do with the revival of the Tang Sect, then what is his purpose?
Moon felt somewhat confused. This serious lack of crucial information made him very uncomfortable. Perhaps with just a little more information, he could have seen the whole story.
After thinking it over, Mu En decided it was better to test the waters, not only to find out whether Tang San's plan would harm Shrek Academy, but also to try to keep Huo Yuhao at Shrek Academy.
Huo Yuhao is indeed talented and a good kid. If we can keep him at Shrek Academy, it will be beneficial to Shrek Academy.
Although Wang Dong is a member of the Haotian Sect, his feelings for Huo Yuhao are genuine, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to keep him at Shrek Academy through Huo Yuhao.
As long as he is alive, even if Tang San has any ideas about Huo Yuhao, he can protect Huo Yuhao. By the time he leaves, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao will have grown up enough to handle most situations. Even if Tang San has some plans, he won't be able to do anything to these two if he can't take action himself.
Furthermore, one could even deduce Tang San's general purpose from the information about the Haotian Sect and other forces under Tang San's command.
Thinking of this, a golden light flashed around Mu En, and his figure leaning on his cane vanished instantly.
"If they keep kicking like this, this whole patch of grass will probably be full of potholes."
An old, kind voice sounded behind Wang Dong. This familiar voice made Wang Dong, who was kicking a stone, pause in his movements and almost lose his balance and fall.
"He's such a grown man, yet he's still so impulsive."
A withered hand rested on Wang Dong's shoulder, and with that support, Wang Dong was able to stand up.
"Elder Mu... Elder Mu."
Wang Dong bowed somewhat awkwardly, not daring to look Mu Lao in the eye.
What's the difference between this and getting caught by the head teacher for not wearing a school uniform?
"Did Yuhao make you angry?"
Mu En, leaning on his cane, smiled as he looked at Wang Dong in front of him.
Wang Dong turned his head away and muttered, "What does that have to do with that guy?"
"hehe……"
Looking at the awkward Wang Dong, Mu En couldn't help but laugh out loud.
These two are really stubborn and awkward.
Huo Yuhao was alright; at least he had a reason for it. He had feelings for Wang Dong but didn't dare to express them for some reason.
Wang Dong, on the other hand, clearly wanted to take the initiative, but he didn't even dare to reveal his identity.
"You, you."
Moon shook his head slightly and said, "If you like him, why not just stand up in front of him and be yourself?"
"Who likes that guy?"
Wang Dong blushed slightly and subconsciously retorted.
Suddenly, Wang Dong realized something, lowered his head, and whispered, "Old Mu, you know?"
Old Mu chuckled and said, "What do you think? Although I'm old, I'm not blind yet."
Long Xiaoyao: Do not contact me.
Wang Dong seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his face turned pale: "Then Yuhao, he..."
Since Elder Mu has already figured it out, what about Huo Yuhao?
If Huo Yuhao knew his own situation and still acted like this, wouldn't that mean he had absolutely no chance?
Mu En recited in the tone of reciting a textbook: "Because of its extreme beauty, the Goddess of Light Butterfly can only appear on female Soul Masters."
"In the Sea God Pavilion's library, there's a book specifically about rare martial souls. It describes the Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul as follows..."
Wang Dong looked at Old Mu with some confusion. Why bring this up now?
Without batting an eye, Moon said, "Records of the Goddess of Light Butterfly are extremely rare. Even Shrek Academy obtained this information from a rare copy they had collected and added it to the Sea God Pavilion's library."
Well, besides that, the relevant information is also likely included in Elder Yu's martial soul and soul beast encyclopedia. Huo Yuhao also saw it, but what does this have to do with what Elder Mu just said?
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Yuhao didn't even manage to explore the inner courtyard, let alone enter the Sea God Pavilion's library, so he definitely didn't see that book.
In other words, Huo Yuhao did not secretly reject him.
Seeing Wang Dong's expression, Mu En couldn't help but chuckle.
This child, even in this state, still stubbornly insists he doesn't like it.
However, if that person's problem isn't handled properly, winning over Huo Yuhao's heart will be a long and arduous journey.
However, judging from Wang Dong's behavior, Tang San did not tell Wang Dong the information that Huo Yuhao had learned about the special features of the Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul.
Is it that they don't want to talk about it, can't talk about it, or simply don't know?
The difference between them is like an insurmountable chasm.
However, no matter what that person wanted to do through Wang Dong, it was ultimately not Wang Dong's intention. As long as the two of them resolved these misunderstandings, moving forward wouldn't be difficult.
"but……"
Just as Wang Dong breathed a sigh of relief, Mu En's tone changed:
"However, the person who included that book was Elder Yu, so Elder Yu must have known about it and would have included it in the books he wrote."
Amid Wang Dong's stunned expression, Mu En slowly said, "And Elder Yu, after Tang Ya's martial soul mutated, lent Huo Yuhao the manuscripts he had painstakingly written over the years for him to study and comprehend."
Wang Dong's voice trembled slightly: "Elder Mu...you...you mean...Huo Yuhao knows about my situation?"
Moon smiled and nodded slightly, confirming Wang Dong's question.
For a moment, Wang Dong was in a state of utter confusion.
How could this be...? How did he know?!
I'm not ready yet...
and many more……
Does "Teacher Xiaoya's martial soul mutation" refer to the time when Teacher Xiaoya returned from Heaven Dou City?
No wonder... no wonder Huo Yuhao didn't go back to his dorm for five months after that incident...
Has he been avoiding me ever since then?
Mu En chuckled and said, "Don't worry too much. Since Huo Yuhao already knows, it's actually a good thing for you."
"Good news?"
Wang Dong looked at Mu En in confusion, "But he clearly knows my situation, yet he still says things like 'It's more interesting to watch others date,' even though he's already distancing himself from me. How can that be considered a good thing?"
Mu En shook his head slightly and said, "If he really had no feelings for you and wanted to distance himself from you, why didn't he just state your identity directly? That way, he could legitimately maintain a friendly distance with you. I can tell that Huo Yuhao doesn't reject you at heart, and his feelings when he's with you don't seem fake. The reason he rejects you is probably for other reasons."
"There are many reasons why a boy might not be able to accept a girl. Huo Yuhao is particularly concerned because his innate soul power is only at level one, which makes him prone to feelings of inferiority and timidity. The girl's talent is too dazzling, and the boy finds it difficult to keep up with her pace. This can lead the boy to have a pessimistic attitude towards the future and thus feel alienated. However, deep down, he cannot make up his mind completely."
"Moreover, Huo Yuhao has never mentioned his past, and he rarely mentions it even to his family. It is obvious that his childhood experiences were not good, which may have led to his strong sense of wariness towards others. Your inexplicable cross-dressing made Huo Yuhao instinctively feel that you had ulterior motives, which is why Huo Yuhao completely abandoned the friendship he had built up over the years of studying and fighting together, and began to distance himself from you."
"Even so, Huo Yuhao still couldn't sever his connection with you directly, which shows that Huo Yuhao cares about you. It's just that he can't convince himself. In this situation, the only way is to treat him sincerely and give him your whole heart. Only then can you gradually get into his heart."
"It's also a good thing that Huo Yuhao knows your identity. This way, you can openly express your feelings, and he won't mistake it for brotherhood or camaraderie. Instead, he will see you as a woman and try to understand your purpose, making it easier for him to comprehend your intentions."
