What Are You Doing, Huo Yuhao?

Huo Yuhao and Xiao Wu chatted and laughed as they arrived at a shop outside the academy that sold daily necessities.

"Boss, we'd like to buy two sets of bedding."

Huo Yuhao spoke up.

"Sure thing!" Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper took out two sets of bedding, tied them up with cloth strips, and handed them to Huo Yuhao.

After paying, Huo Yuhao left the shop with Xiao Wu.

Each of them carried a set of bedding as they headed back to the dormitory.

Xiao Wu placed her luggage on the bed next to Huo Yuhao's and said with a smile, "I'll sleep here..."

Huo Yuhao immediately shook his head. "I suggest you stay next to Tang San..."

"Why?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion.

Tang San also sat up in bed and poked his head out, looking somewhat displeased. If you don't want to sleep next to Xiao Wu, just say so. Why drag me into this? What did I ever do to you?

Tang San had initially had a somewhat favorable impression of Huo Yuhao. After all, the little boy was indeed rather handsome. But after getting to know him, he realized Huo Yuhao was quite annoying, always trying to drag him into things.

Just now, he had wanted Tang San to deal with Xiao Wu. Now he wanted to push Xiao Wu over to his side. What was he trying to do?

Tang San disliked this sort of person.

Tang San said directly, "Don't involve me in matters between the two of you."

With that, he turned over and lay back down.

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao remained silent, Xiao Wu asked again, "Why won't you let me sleep beside you?"

Huo Yuhao had no way to explain it, so he could only force himself to say, "No, it's not that I won't let you... You can do whatever makes you happy..."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao awkwardly glanced at Tang San and thought, Father-in-law, can you be a little more reliable? I gave you an opportunity, but you couldn't make use of it!

Perhaps Heaven had heard Huo Yuhao's thoughts, because Tang San suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

Just as Huo Yuhao delightedly thought Tang San had changed his mind, Tang San said impatiently, "Huo Yuhao, why are you being so wishy-washy? She's sleeping next to you, not in your bed. What is there for you to refuse? Besides, we're all children right now. You don't need to overthink it."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Fine. I give up.

Xiao Wu set her bedding aside and said with a grin, "You think I want to sleep next to you? This side is by the window, so the air is better. Otherwise, I wouldn't sleep here!"

Before long, she had made her bed. Xiao Wu clapped her hands. "Done!"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao and Xiao Wu had both made their beds, Wang Sheng walked over and said, "Boss, let's go to the cafeteria together."

"Sure!" Xiao Wu immediately agreed, but then she seemed to remember something and asked, "Do we have to spend money to eat too?"

Wang Sheng: "..."

Who eats without paying?

Xiao Wu got her answer from Wang Sheng's expression. She could not help looking at Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, I was thinking..."

She said awkwardly, "I'd like to borrow some more money..."

"No problem." Huo Yuhao agreed readily. "I'll lend you money for meals these next few days. You can pay me back when you have money."

Xiao Wu said sincerely, "Thanks!"

Tang San's expression toward Huo Yuhao softened slightly. Though the little boy was somewhat annoying, he was indeed fairly generous.

The group of eleven left the dormitory together and headed toward the cafeteria under Wang Sheng's lead.

The cafeteria was also inside the teaching building. It was spacious enough to accommodate the students and teachers from six classes, more than three hundred people in total.

The cafeteria had two floors. The first floor served ordinary food, the kind made in large communal pots.

The second floor served more refined dishes. Generally, only wealthy students and teachers ate on the second floor.

At this moment, a long line had already formed at the serving windows on the first floor.

As soon as they entered the cafeteria, a piercing voice rang out. "Aren't those Wang Sheng and his bunch of poor wretches?"

Huo Yuhao looked toward the source of the voice and saw a group of older students standing on the stairs between the first and second floors, looking down at them.

An handsome male student around eleven or twelve years old said disdainfully, "These poor wretches probably don't even know what the second floor looks like."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao could not help frowning. Why was this student so arrogant? Was he asking to be beaten?

Xiao Wu was furious. She snapped angrily, "What the hell are you? Does the second floor look like your father?"

"..." The male student flew into a rage and was about to come down to hit Xiao Wu, but someone beside him pulled him back.

This was the cafeteria. If anyone fought here, they would likely be expelled.

The male student calmed down and pointed at Xiao Wu. "I'll let you off today. But if I run into you again, I'll beat you until you beg for mercy!"

With that, the group went up the stairs to the second floor.

Xiao Wu immediately wanted to chase after them, but Huo Yuhao grabbed her and shook his head. "There's no need to go after them. You can't beat a whole group of them by yourself."

Two fists could not stand against four hands. Huo Yuhao himself was not confident he could defeat two people of the same level, let alone Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu said indignantly, "Are we just letting them go?"

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "If you damage the cafeteria, you'll have to compensate them. You don't have any money."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Wu immediately calmed down. "Then forget it."

As they spoke, Huo Yuhao saw Tang San walk ahead and talk to someone.

That person was Master.

After exchanging a few words, Master went up to the second floor, while Tang San did not follow him.

Wang Sheng asked curiously, "Tang San, you know Master too?"

Tang San nodded. "He's my teacher."

Huo Yuhao raised his brows slightly. Tang San had already taken Master as his teacher?

Although Master's cringeworthy words earlier had not left Huo Yuhao with a very good impression, Huo Yuhao still felt that Master had some ability.

After all, he had taught Tang San into becoming a god. Master's ability was actually quite good.

It was just that Tang San's two martial souls—one the Blue Silver Emperor and the other the Clear Sky Hammer—were both among the most powerful martial souls in the world. If Tang San's martial soul had merely been ordinary Blue Silver Grass, even a God King probably could not have made Tang San into a god. Yet Master claimed that there were no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters...

Wasn't that a slap in his own face?

Master is actually pretty good. He's just a little foolish...

Huo Yuhao silently evaluated him.

As everyone lined up to get food, Huo Yuhao noticed that Tang San did not join them. Instead, he silently took out the dry provisions he had brought with him.

After thinking it over, Huo Yuhao walked up to Tang San and said with a smile, "Tang San, let's eat together. I'll treat you. You can pay me back when you have money."

Tang San paused slightly, then shook his head. "No need."

With that, he walked off to a more distant spot.

Huo Yuhao wanted to go over and persuade him a little more, but Xiao Wu directly pulled him away. "Huo Yuhao, what are you doing? Hurry up and come!"
