Gu Yue, Why Have You Been Avoiding Me These Past Few Days?

Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious upon hearing this.

Before this, his judgment that Wang Dong'er was the daughter of the Sea God Tang San relied mainly on the legends and fragments of history that had been passed down.

But Electrolux's words at this moment truly confirmed that the power of the God was right there in front of them.

He then pressed on, "Teacher, can you find out exactly what's wrong with Dong'er's body?"

Huo Yuhao's tone carried an undisguised worry. Wang Dong'er was sealed with God power, and he was unsure whether his teacher could detect anything through this seal.

Electrolux chuckled. "It's already been detected."

Huo Yuhao looked at him in surprise. Electrolux didn't keep him in suspense and continued, "This girl's hidden injury is indeed in her soul; more accurately, her soul is currently incomplete."

Huo Yuhao was taken aback. Even if he awakened his Twin Martial Souls ahead of time, it shouldn't be so serious as to make his soul incomplete, right?

Electrolux had the same question in his mind. He was silent for a moment, his voice tinged with confusion. "Logically speaking, with a father who is of God status, her soul shouldn't have such a problem."

"The souls of descendants of God are usually more stable than those of ordinary people, and may even bear a certain divine imprint. They shouldn't look like this."

Huo Yuhao pressed on, "Does the teacher have a way to solve this?"

Electrolux's expression grew more serious. "With the Sea God's seal blocking the way, I can't probe deeper into the specifics."

"The soul is too intricate; even the slightest alteration can cause unpredictable changes."

"It would be too risky to take action before fully understanding the situation."

He thought for a moment, and seeing Huo Yuhao's obviously nervous expression, he added, "I think it would be best to ask this girl's Big Uncle and Second Uncle about her specific situation."

"Only by clarifying all these points can we find the real solution."

Huo Yuhao nodded upon hearing this, his initial optimistic expectation that "with the teacher's help, victory would be assured" quietly crumbling.

He had initially thought Electrolux could directly pinpoint the root of the problem and begin to solve it, but now it seemed he had oversimplified things.

Moreover, it seems that the seal left by Wang Dong'er's Sea God father has become the biggest obstacle to "healing" her.

Huo Yuhao's forehead slowly moved away from Wang Dong'er's brow.

After the warm touch left her forehead, Wang Dong'er's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Her gaze was still somewhat unfocused, as if she had just woken from a brief, shallow dream. She blinked her large, pinkish-blue eyes, looking at Huo Yuhao's face so close to hers, her expression full of confusion.

She only felt that the dizziness came suddenly, and her whole body felt as if she was wrapped in something soft and floated for a moment, but she couldn't remember any specific images, as if she had just taken a nap.

She instinctively asked, "How did the checkup go?"

Huo Yuhao looked at her slightly misty eyes and smiled slightly.

He reached out and gently ruffled her hair, his tone relaxed and casual. "It should be fine."

He ultimately chose to lie; revealing the complexities of his incomplete soul at this stage would only cause Wang Dong'er more trouble.

He didn't want her to be distracted by these things during the competition; he would find the answers to those weighty questions himself first.

Wang Dong'er's eyes flickered slightly. She looked at Huo Yuhao's smiling face and felt vaguely that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on where the feeling came from.

She opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't ask any further questions.

She remained silent for a moment, silently making a thought in her mind: after the competition ended and she returned to the Clear Sky Sect, she would personally ask her Big Uncle and Second Uncle about those childhood memories that she could never recall.

She vaguely felt that those forgotten, concealed, and distant old times held something she should know.

The All-Continent Youth Soul Master Tournament is in full swing, with the sounds of Soul Power clashing on the field and the shouts from the audience intertwined.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the four teams that have emerged from the fierce battles are making their final preparations for the upcoming semi-finals.

In this competition, Shrek Academy didn't even make it to the semifinals.

This result caused a huge shock throughout the Soul Master World on the entire continent, as this was something that had never happened since the inception of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament.

Huo Yuhao originally thought he would soon witness the end of the competition, but unexpectedly, on the day of the semi-finals, he was transported back to the World Ten Thousand Years Later without warning.

After dinner, it was completely dark.

The corridors of the Spirit Pagoda were lit by soft Soul Guidance Wall Lamp, the light warm and quiet.

Huo Yuhao walked along the corridor toward his room, and as he turned a corner, he noticed a familiar figure.

The figure seemed startled by something, instinctively turning to the side and quickening its pace.

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly, and without hesitation, immediately chased after them.

He was much faster than the other person, catching up in just a few steps. He reached out and grabbed the other person's arm, stopping them in their tracks.

He frowned slightly, looking at Gu Yue's face, which had turned slightly to the side because he had been pulled, and asked with a hint of seriousness in his tone, "Why have you been avoiding me these past few days?"

Gu Yue lowered her head, seemingly unable to meet Huo Yuhao's gaze.

Her tone remained defiant, with a stubbornness that came from having her secret exposed. "Where have I been hiding from you?"

Huo Yuhao didn't let go, his gaze still fixed on her slightly evasive profile, and he asked calmly, "We haven't seen each other for days, and you still say you're not deliberately avoiding me?"

Gu Yue pursed her lips and remained silent.

She was indeed deliberately avoiding Huo Yuhao. Ever since that phone call with Na'er, she had subconsciously distanced herself from Huo Yuhao.

It wasn't that I didn't want to see him, but rather that I was somewhat afraid.

Her hesitation stemmed not only from Na'er's previous actions, but also from the plans she was currently implementing.

Gu Yue didn't answer. Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then said, "You've been in contact with Qiangu Zhangting a lot lately, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue abruptly raised her head, quickly meeting Huo Yuhao's gaze, her tone filled with urgency, as if afraid of being misunderstood. "There's nothing between him and me!"

Seeing her like this, Huo Yuhao's expression softened a bit.

He naturally trusted Gu Yue, knowing that with her discerning eye, she probably wouldn't think much of someone like Qiangu Zhangting.

"I know there's nothing between you two," Huo Yuhao said calmly, "But you've been in contact with people from the Qiangu Clan lately, there must be a reason, right?"

It's definitely not normal for Gu Yue, as Leng Yaozhu's disciple, to be getting close to people from the Qiangu Lineage.

After all, the fact that Leng Yaozhu and Qiangu Dongfeng had already broken off relations was no secret within the Spirit Pagoda.

Faced with Huo Yuhao's questioning, Gu Yue slowly lowered her head again after raising it.

Her gaze fell on the ground between the two of them, her lips pressed into a thin line, and she still offered no explanation.

Seeing her like this, Huo Yuhao sighed softly.

He took Gu Yue's small hand in his, his palm enveloping her slightly cool fingertips, and his voice softened. "Is there anything we can't say to each other?"

Gu Yue bit her lip, her fingertips curling slightly in Huo Yuhao's palm.

One thought surged within her, "It's precisely with you that I can't tell you this."

The things she was secretly working on, the plans related to the revival of Soul Beast, the grand scheme weighing on her shoulders—each of these was something she couldn't openly tell him.

The more she cherished their relationship, the less she dared to let those heavy secrets taint him.
