Identity Gradually Revealed
Heaven Dou Grand Hotel.
After listening to Huo Wu's analysis, Huo Wushuang glanced at Feng Xiaotian, who had a mysterious expression on his face, and couldn't help but laugh:
"Xiaotian, is there anything else you want to add? Just say it, why do I have to ask you?"
Feng Xiaotian immediately stood up, his face full of flattery:
"It's amazing that Little Sister Huo Wu could analyze so much from just a few words!"
Then, changing the subject, he added, "However, I do have a little something to add!"
Seeing that Huo Wu's attention had been drawn to him, he dared not keep her in suspense any longer; his beloved had absolutely no patience.
"I've been observing the Shrek team members' expressions and noticed that the eleven of them showed several completely different behaviors when facing that Lin Hai."
Feng Xiaotian recounted his discovery in detail:
"The five men and one woman, including Dai Mubai, mainly admired or flattered him."
Tang San remained expressionless. The gorilla, Tailong, seemed unimpressed, appearing more like Tang San's follower.
"But Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and that girl named Rong Rong all looked at Lin Hai with obvious affection in their eyes!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu scoffed, "Are you so sure that's love? I don't see it at all?"
Huo Wushuang glanced at his sister and good brother.
In matters of romantic love, he trusted Feng Xiaotian's judgment more, believing that his sister was utterly hopeless.
He suppressed a laugh and said, "Huo Wu, let Xiao Tian finish speaking first!"
Huo Wu glared at Feng Xiaotian, signaling with her eyes, "Hurry up."
Upon seeing this, Feng Xiaotian immediately dropped his playful grin and said seriously:
"Of the eleven Shrek members we know, let's leave aside the eight who appeared in the early stages."
"Zhu Zhuqing first appeared when she fought against your Blazing Fire, Xiao Wu is making her first appearance today."
"That Rong Rong is still hiding."
"I suspect that she is also one of Shrek's trump cards, and she is very likely to have a high Soul Power Level and an unusual Spirit Ring Configuration, just like Zhu Zhuqing and the other two."
"And the way these three people looked at Lin Hai was clearly different... So I judged that his strange strength and Soul Ring were very likely related to this Lin Hai!"
Although Huo Wu was unwilling to admit it, Feng Xiaotian's words did make some sense.
Huo Wushuang nodded as well; his reasoning was clear and logical, and Huo Wushuang couldn't find any flaws in his argument.
"Even if this is true, there's nothing we can do for the time being," Huo Wushuang pondered.
"Shrek Academy has a complicated background. Let me find someone to inquire about that girl named Rong Rong first."
It was evening, inside Huo Wushuang's room.
"Dad, did you come here at this time because you heard some news?" Huo Wushuang welcomed Huo Yao into the house and asked anxiously.
Huo Yao slowly sat down, his expression solemn, and said, " In Heaven Dou City, there is only one person who matches Huo Wu's description."
"Who is it?" Huo Wushuang asked hurriedly.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School Master Ning Fengzhi has a daughter named Ning Rongrong, who is fourteen years old this year and is not studying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect..." Huo Wushuang's expression changed slightly.
Huo Yao nodded and said, "Didn't we just discuss before the royal family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect taking action to suppress various forces?"
"Ning Fengzhi's daughter is at the Shrek Academy, that makes sense."
"But the key is still the attitude of the Elephant Armor Sect!"
At this point, Huo Yao sighed deeply:
"According to Teacher Li, who went to draw lots today, Bishop Salas of the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City in Heaven Dou City was unusually polite to Dean Flender of Shrek, and even said that he would write to the Pope to commend Shrek Academy."
"What conclusion can you draw by combining these facts?"
Huo Wushuang almost blurted out, "Are you saying that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is connected with the Spirit Hall?"
Huo Yao shook his head. "It's too early to say that. But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is very likely connected to Lin Hai, and Lin Hai..."
He paused, his tone growing increasingly heavy, "According to Huo Wu, he's very strong, and looks to be at most twenty years old. This reminds me of someone!"
Who is it?
Huo Yao said word by word, "Wu-hun-dian-sheng-zi!"
Huo Wushuang was stunned, and then he remembered the announcement that the Spirit Hall had issued many years ago.
"These are turbulent times!" Huo Yao sighed. "Ning Fengzhi a meticulous person; there's no way he wouldn't investigate Lin Hai's identity."
"If it is really as I expect, then it means that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect may have betrayed the Heaven Dou."
"In that case, is there any possibility for us colleges to survive in this predicament?"
The room fell silent, with only the howling wind outside the window.
After dinner, Flender walked up to Lin Hai with a serious expression and said in a deep voice:
"Lin Hai, come with me for a moment!"
The surrounding trainees looked at each other, all with puzzled expressions.
It's rare to see the dean so serious.
Lin Hai was also curious, but he didn't ask any questions. He simply nodded and followed Flender away.
A moment later, the two arrived at Flender's room.
"Dean, just say what you need to say, why are you locking the door?!" Lin Hai teased as he watched Flender turn around and lock the door, trying to ease the inexplicably tense atmosphere.
Flender turned around, his face devoid of its usual cunning, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness:
"Stop grinning like that. I'm asking you, are you truly sincere towards Er Long?"
Lin Hai paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "Of course it's true, why are you suddenly asking about this?"
He was unaware that Salas had shown goodwill towards Flender.
Little did they know that the dean had already secretly imagined the whole story of how he sacrificed his virtue to serve the Pope.
Flender's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, staring intently at Lin Hai's facial expression, seemingly not intending to miss any subtle changes.
But whether the kid was truly innocent or just had such superb acting skills, he couldn't detect any sign of pretense on Lin Hai's face.
Finally, Flender sighed helplessly, his tone softening slightly. "Then tell me, where exactly do you come from?"
Lin Hai was somewhat surprised.
It's true that he no longer makes a fuss about his identity, but it seems he's never revealed anything to Flender either.
However, since the other party asked, he chose to be honest and tell them, "I come from Spirit City."
Flender frowned abruptly. Just as he suspected! He pressed further, "What is your identity?"
"The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!" Lin Hai's voice was calm, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary.
"Cough cough!" Flender was so surprised by Lin Hai's straightforward attitude and answer that he almost choked on his own saliva.
"You're just admitting it like that? Aren't you going to offer any further explanation?"
Lin Hai smiled slightly and asked in return, "What, do you want to drag this out a few more rounds with me?"
"What exactly happened that made you suddenly ask me these questions so seriously?"
Flender felt somewhat helpless seeing Lin Hai's calm and composed demeanor.
I was the one interrogating this kid, so how did the situation completely reverse in the blink of an eye?
