Na'er: Teacher... Why Are You Here?!

Huo Yuhao looked at Na'er and Tang Wulin in front of him and said, "This time it was a success. We'll have to do it a few more times."

"Take it one step at a time, and the bloodline crisis within Wulin will be completely resolved."

Now that he truly sees hope, Tang Wulin is no longer as bitter and resentful as before.

A long-lost sense of ease finally appeared on that pretty little face.

He looked at Huo Yuhao, his tone noticeably lighter. "How many more times? When is the next time?"

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile at his anxious expression.

"It's not so easy for Na'er to withstand the power of her bloodline," he said, his gaze falling on the silver-haired girl. "Her Soul Power needs to reach another level."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin followed his gaze and looked at Na'er.

A hint of smugness was on her pretty little face.

But Tang Wulin looked at him, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes.

He had only thought of himself and had completely forgotten about Na'er's situation.

He truly knew the power of that bloodline; it wasn't easy to withstand.

This time it seems to be going smoothly, but Na'er still has to bear the life-or-death crisis that failure would bring.

Huo Yuhao continued, "Na'er is almost at the Soul Ancestor level now. I think she should be ready in about six months."

Half a year.

These two words brought a slight sense of relief to Tang Wulin's heart.

In today's situation, both Tang Wulin and Na'er can be considered to have benefited.

Tang Wulin solved the immediate crisis and saw a glimmer of hope for survival.

Na'er has merged with the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, resulting in a surge in her strength and a promising future.

Even Gu Yue, who "drifted along" the whole time, benefited because she and Na'er were originally one.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao alone contributed both manpower and effort, but received no benefit in return.

However, at this moment, everyone followed his instructions.

Na'er has just merged with the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and needs to recuperate. Gu Yue is going to take her back to the Spirit Pagoda.

Tang Wulin's life-threatening crisis has been temporarily averted, and he has decided to take a good rest today and stop cultivating.

As for Huo Yuhao, he naturally returned to the Spirit Pagoda with Gu Yue and the others.

The three chatted and laughed as they walked out of the gates of the Eastsea Academy.

Then... Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The action came so suddenly that Gu Yue and Na'er, who were standing beside him, were both taken aback.

Huo Yuhao's gaze was fixed intently on what lay ahead.

Right across the road from the college entrance, a stern-faced young man stood there, watching the three of them.

To be more precise, it should be an elderly person.

Although he looks young, only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, his actual age is probably over a hundred.

Na'er naturally saw that figure at that moment as well.

The smile on her face vanished instantly, her small mouth opened slightly, and her beautiful purple eyes were filled with shock.

Then, she parted her lips slightly and uttered two words.

"Teacher?!"

There is only one person in the world who deserves to be called that by Na'er.

Therefore, the person who appeared at this moment was none other than Yun Ming, the Pavilion Master of the Qingtian Douluo Sea God Pavilion of the Shrek Academy, who was recognized as the strongest person on the continent!

A hint of surprise flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes; he hadn't expected to see Yun Ming here today.

Then, he felt a blur before his eyes.

The figure across the street had suddenly vanished.

When they reappeared, Yun Ming was already standing in front of them, only a few feet apart.

Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted slightly. Even though he had witnessed everything with his own eyes, he hadn't noticed it at all through his mental perception!

The figure appeared out of thin air, leaving no trace. He was also shocked by Yun Ming's strength.

At that moment, Electrolux's voice echoed in his mind.

"Yuhao, this person has already reached the God Realm."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's heart tightened, and his assessment of Yun Ming's strength was raised to a new level.

At this moment, Na'er's beautiful purple eyes trembled slightly, filled with panic and helplessness.

Her voice trembled slightly. "T-Teacher, why... why are you here?"

Seeing his beloved disciple like this, Yun Ming finally showed a hint of tenderness on his face.

However, when he glanced at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue, his expression turned cold again.

He snorted coldly, his tone tinged with displeasure. "Hmph! If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you 'Spirit Pagoda people."

"Teacher, I..."

Na'er opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to explain.

She thought her plan was foolproof and that everything was under her control, but in the end, it was exposed.

Although her true form, the Silver Dragon King, is powerful, she has ultimately lacked sufficient experience.

For hundreds of thousands of years, they spent most of their time healing and dormant, and the time they truly integrated into human society was only a few short years.

After transforming, Na'er's Avatar was like a blank sheet of paper. No matter how well she concealed it, how could those subtle emotional fluctuations escape Yun Ming's eyes?

Huo Yuhao stood to the side, looking thoughtful, but quickly grasped the key to it.

He stepped forward and bowed slightly to Yun Ming: "Senior Qingtian, we mean no harm."

Yun Ming's gaze fell on him, and a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes.

He snorted again, "I know."

"If you truly harbor ill intentions, even if you were Yao Zhu's disciple, you wouldn't be standing unscathed before me right now."

Yun Ming and his wife Ya Li had no children. Na'er, his apprentice, was more than just his Personal Disciple.

In some ways, Na'er was more like his daughter.

Now, no matter what Huo Yuhao's reasons are, in Yun Ming's eyes, he's no different from "Yellow Hair".

Feeling the sudden surge of powerful energy within Na'er's body, Yun Ming naturally knew that his precious disciple had gained considerable benefits.

But when he looked at Huo Yuhao, he couldn't help but hurl insults at him.

A kind of irrational instinct belonging to an elderly father.

However, after a moment, Yun Ming managed to suppress the chaotic emotions swirling in his mind.

He looked at Huo Yuhao, his tone returning to calm.

"Kid, let's find somewhere to talk."

Huo Yuhao glanced around and thought for a moment. Now, he realized that he could only return to the Eastsea Academy.

He stepped aside and gestured for Yun Ming to proceed.

"Please, senior!"

Yun Ming didn't stand on ceremony and stepped into the gate of the Eastsea Academy.

Huo Yuhao followed closely behind, while Gu Yue and Na'er silently trailed behind.

But after walking only a few steps, Yun Ming suddenly stopped.

He turned around, his gaze passing over Huo Yuhao and landing on Gu Yue and Na'er at the very back.

"You two, don't follow us."

Upon hearing this, Na'er felt a surge of anxiety and couldn't help but cry out, "Teacher!"

A hint of anxiety and worry flashed in those large, watery purple eyes.

Looking at his precious disciple's expression, Yun Ming felt both amused and annoyed.

"What?" He raised an eyebrow. "So you're going to side with outsiders now?"

Na'er's cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly waved her hands to explain, "No, teacher! I came here on my own, it has nothing to do with Huo Yuhao!"

Looking at her eager explanation, Yun Ming couldn't help but sigh.

That sigh carried a hint of helplessness and a touch of indulgence.

His tone softened. "Don't worry, I didn't mean to do anything to him, I was just saying a few words."

Na'er blinked her large, watery purple eyes and asked tentatively, "Really?"

Yun Ming smiled helplessly, "When have I ever lied to you?"

Na'er was relieved and nodded, "Then, Teacher, please come find me at the Eastsea Spirit Pagoda later."

Yun Ming nodded, which was taken as an agreement.

Then he turned around and continued walking forward.

This time, only Huo Yuhao followed behind him.

Watching the two figures disappear around the corner, Na'er glanced at Gu Yue beside her and asked, "What do you think Teacher wanted to see Huo Yuhao for?"

Gu Yue replied calmly, "If you don't know, how would I know?"

Na'er then asked with a strange smile, "Aren't you worried about Huo Yuhao at all?"

Gu Yue naturally understood what Na'er meant. She didn't answer, but just snorted.

However, Na'er wasn't going to let her off the hook. "I just want to remind you, don't forget your identity. Falling in love with a human is not a good thing."

Gu Yue never expected that she would be taught a lesson by Na'er, who was only "one-third" of her, but she did not deny it.

She only said one sentence, "I've always known what I'm doing!"
