That Detestable Xu Sanshi!

Half a month later, Qian Chaoyun finished his class and went to Freshman Class 9 to see how the Young Master was doing.

Not only was he fine, but after being punished that day, he had even gone to eat Huo Yuhao's Grilled Fish.

The Grilled Fish tasted average and hadn't been tampered with.

However, the taste didn't suit Qian Chaoyun's palate, so he immediately told Huo Yuhao to grill rabbits instead, reserving one for him every day, and taught him the method for making cumin and chili powder.

At this moment, Qian Chaoyun stood at the doorway, beckoned to Dai Huabin inside, and said, "Long time no see, Young Master."

Dai Huabin sat in the classroom, looking at Qian Chaoyun at the door, his expression sinking instantly.

This remnant of the Martial Soul Hall was here to cause him trouble again!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he chose to ignore the other party.

Beside him, Zhu Lu spoke up: "Why are you here again? Don't you think you've bullied us enough?"

"No, no."

Qian Chaoyun waved his hands and replied with a smile: "It's just that the freshman classes are a bit boring, so I came to chat with your Duke Mansion Young Master. With the New Student Competition coming up soon, I wanted to check on your cultivation progress."

"How come Young Master Dai hasn't made any progress at all? You're far behind Huo Yuhao."

Dai Huabin roared: "You surnamed Qian, you remnant of the Martial Soul Hall, I will settle the score with you sooner or later."

"I'll be waiting!"

Qian Chaoyun tossed the words out lightly and prepared to leave, but suddenly thought of something and continued: "Oh right, in the New Student Competition, can you even beat Huo Yuhao? I have no interest in participating in the competition, but I look forward to Huo Yuhao beating you up."

As he spoke, Qian Chaoyun turned around and left, humming a little tune as he walked.

Life in the Outer Court was truly dull.

He needed to improve his strength quickly so he could go to the Star Dou Forest to obtain his Sixth Spirit Ring.

Inside the classroom, Dai Huabin was furious to the extreme, panting heavily as he shouted: "Qian Chaoyun, you go too far!!"

What angered Dai Huabin wasn't that the other party was bullying him, but that he was comparing a son of a Duke to a one-ring Spirit Master.

What was Huo Yuhao? A mere one-ring Spirit Master, a being that could be crushed to death at will, yet now he dared to mention him in the same breath as himself.

Damn it!

This was simply too much.

However, the other students nearby remained silent; none of them liked Dai Huabin.

There was a reason why this guy was being bullied.

He often bullied his classmates, thinking he was the boss, and loved to show off his Evil-Eyed White Tiger martial soul.

Now they finally understood why Dai Huabin had gotten beaten up.

If they had the strength, they would have taught Dai Huabin a lesson too.

Their classmate Wu Feng whispered to Ning Tian beside her, "Ning Tian, this Dai Huabin has strength but no brains. He gets this angry just because someone said a few words to him. No wonder he was assigned to our class."

Ning Tian widened her eyes and warned, "Wu Feng, let's not talk nonsense. Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu might come looking for trouble with us later."

Wu Feng immediately felt bored, thinking that Ning Tian was too timid.

If the two of them joined forces, they could even go toe-to-toe with a Four-Ring soul master, so why would they be afraid of a measly Evil-Eyed White Tiger?

However, the next moment, Wu Feng noticed Dai Huabin's murderous gaze fixed upon her.

On the other side, Qian Chaoyun arrived at the academy gate.

He had come to collect his rabbit, as per his agreement with Huo Yuhao.

At the main entrance, Huo Yuhao had set up a small stall, with the gluttonous Wang Dong by his side.

A long line had formed in front of the stall, with many students waiting to buy grilled fish.

Qian Chaoyun walked up, took out five Copper Soul Coins, and said, "Little Brother Huo, this is the payment for today's rabbit."

"Thank you, Senior Chaoyun."

Huo Yuhao took the money and hurriedly handed over an entire rabbit.

Qian Chaoyun picked up the rabbit and began to tear into it, his mouth glistening with grease as he ate.

The rabbit tasted authentic; it was exactly the flavor of the grilled rabbit from back home.

It had to be said that Huo Yuhao's grilling skills were impressive. Even if he couldn't make it as a soul master, he could still be a grill master. Perhaps he could even take a shortcut and inherit the God Position of Rong Nianbing.

Wasn't Rong Nianbing just a cook before he became a God? It would suit Huo Yuhao perfectly.

Not far away, Wang Dong watched Qian Chaoyun eating with such relish and pointed at the rabbits on the grill, saying, "Huo Yuhao, I want to eat rabbit too."

Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment and said to Wang Dong, "Eating too much rabbit will make you thin. You're already so skinny, you should eat less."

Wang Dong didn't listen; she took the rabbit leg Huo Yuhao handed her and began to eat it in large bites.

It was so delicious!

Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly, continued grilling his fish, and skillfully collected the payments.

Just then, a figure came rushing toward the main gate in a frantic hurry. It was none other than Xu Sanshi, known in the Outer Court as the Eternal Defense.

Xu Sanshi took out a Gold Soul Coin and shouted, "Huo Yuhao, get this Young Master a Grilled Fish."

"Not for sale!"

Huo Yuhao remembered how he had been bullied by this guy last time; if it hadn't been for the Senior Disciple Brother stepping in, his Grilled Fish stall would have been destroyed.

He was a person who held grudges, so he resolutely refused to sell.

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi became angry and roared, "Huo Yuhao, I am offering a Gold Soul Coin, yet you actually dare to refuse to sell?"

Wang Dong immediately stood up and retorted angrily, "He said he won't sell, so he won't! Xu Sanshi, you guy, get lost."

Xu Sanshi was just about to make a move to teach Huo Yuhao a lesson, but remembering the Dragon Whisker Needle from last time, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to give up.

However, as he looked down, he noticed a freshly slaughtered rabbit laid out on Huo Yuhao's stall, and his expression changed abruptly.

Huo Yuhao frowned and said, "Senior Xu Sanshi, is there a problem?"

Xu Sanshi said coldly, "Didn't I tell you not to grill rabbits in front of me again? I hate it most when people make jokes involving rabbits."

Huo Yuhao was a bit bewildered.

He was just grilling a rabbit; was such a huge reaction from Xu Sanshi really necessary? He hadn't seen any other seniors have an issue with it.

Rabbits were delicious, could help with weight loss, and sold quite well.

Senior Xu Sanshi was clearly just looking for trouble on purpose.

Huo Yuhao felt a bit angry and said indifferently, "If you have nothing better to do, Senior, please don't disturb my business."

However, Huo Yuhao's attitude completely enraged Xu Sanshi.

The moment Xu Sanshi thought of Jiang Nannan, whom he liked, and how she also possessed a Rabbit Martial Soul, an inexplicable fire surged within him.

It felt as if this wasn't just a rabbit being grilled, but as if Jiang Nannan herself had been stripped bare and was being grilled on the fire.

He immediately shouted in a rage, "I don't care, from now on you are forbidden from grilling rabbits! If I see you grilling rabbits at the school gate again, I will smash your stall!!"

This tone of voice truly startled Huo Yuhao.

However, Xu Sanshi's actions drew the resentment of the senior students nearby, who stood up one by one to speak for Huo Yuhao.

"Xu Sanshi, you are going too far. The junior disciple is just grilling a rabbit; it's not like he's eating your rice."

"That's right! Reacting so strongly—anyone who didn't know better would think Xu Sanshi's rabbit had been stolen, and he's come here to cause trouble for Huo Yuhao."

"This Xu Sanshi is truly excessive, specifically bullying a junior disciple. Sooner or later, he will meet with retribution."

"Exactly, exactly, so excessive."

However, these words did not stop Xu Sanshi; instead, they completely enraged him. He immediately exerted a sudden burst of force and smashed the stall to pieces.

As he smashed the stall, Xu Sanshi shouted, "If I ever see you roasting rabbit again, I'll smash your stall! Every time I see it, I'll smash it! Damn it all!"

Huo Yuhao stared at his ruined Grilled Fish stall, his mind going blank for a split second.

Why does this guy always target me?

I didn't do anything wrong; I'm just trying to make a living at the academy.
