"Wang Dong! Where are you? Wang Dong?"
Once Huo Yuhao learned that this Treasure Pavilion was an academy property, he relaxed.
He had also met his senior brother Bei Bei here, Tang Sect Master Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, as well as the incredibly beautiful senior sister Jiang Nannan.
They had chatted for quite some time, but even after a long while, Wang Dong still had not appeared.
Huo Yuhao could not help frowning as he asked about Wang Dong, who had just been taken away.
The server looked utterly baffled. "Wang Dong? Who is Wang Dong?"
Huo Yuhao:?
"Huh?"
At that moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that something had gone wrong!
He hurriedly began searching for Wang Dong, but could not find her anywhere.
He asked where the server named Xiao Hong had gone, and eventually found Xiao Hong in the lounge.
Xiao Hong looked quite apologetic. "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo. Mr. Wang seemed to be in a hurry to fuse a Spirit Bone, so she left in a rush. She asked me to notify you before leaving, but I forgot. I'm very sorry for causing you trouble."
Huo Yuhao said, "She? She left?"
At that moment, Huo Yuhao's fists clenched.
What did that mean?
Was she messing with him?
Fine, fine, fine!
Just wait until I get back. I'll show you how I deal with you!
Still, after hearing that Wang Dong was safe, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He bid farewell to his senior brothers and headed toward the academy.
But just as he turned around, a figure brushed past him.
It was a youth with a slender, tall figure, dressed in fitted white clothes. Yet that peach-pink short hair was far too conspicuous. Even with a veil over her face, Huo Yuhao recognized her immediately.
"Wang Dong! I'd recognize you even if you turned to ashes!"
Huo Yuhao rushed over furiously and hugged her from behind.
"Wang Dong, what are you doing? Are you playing with me? I'm angry!"
Wait?
Oh no!
Something felt wrong?
Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that although the "Wang Dong" before him looked very much like Wang Dong, Wang Dong's hair was pinkish-blue, while this "Wang Dong" had peach-pink hair, white tinged with pink.
Most importantly, while her body was just as soft as Wang Dong's, the "Wang Dong" before him was clearly much fuller.
Huo Yuhao stiffened abruptly.
"Oh no, Wang Dong set me up!"
For a moment, letting go was not an option, but neither was not letting go.
He was afraid that if he released her, she would start screaming and shouting. Wouldn't that mean he was about to be framed?
Does anyone understand this? This was seriously so speechless. What a creepy guy!
Fortunately, "Wang Dong" did not react much.
Seeing this, she said shyly in a soft voice, "Aren't you going to let go?"
That voice was like a spring breeze brushing over his heart, gentle and delicate.
As she turned, a wisp of spring wind lifted her veil, revealing a pair of peach-pink eyes that met his gaze.
That instant of eye contact.
Huo Yuhao froze where he stood.
At this point, he had not yet met the goddess of his dreams, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Light's Raiment.
In young Huo Yuhao's heart, the most important and unforgettable woman was still his mother.
But as he grew older, as a young man began to understand love, another woman would gradually appear in his heart—a woman who made his heart race.
Of course, Huo Yuhao did not know what this feeling was. He only thought that the girl before him was so beautiful, and that her eyes were as beautiful as Wang Dong's.
Wait?
Huh?
Why was he comparing someone else to Wang Dong?
Huo Yuhao shuddered violently.
"You?"
Huo Yuhao felt awkward. He wanted to apologize, but did not know how to begin.
Fortunately, the girl did not mind. "Excuse me, do you know Bei Bei?"
The girl removed her veil, revealing breathtaking beauty.
Seeing Huo Yuhao standing there in a daze, the girl waved her fair little hand in front of his face. "Hey, snap out of it! Have you seen enough?"
Huo Yuhao became awkward yet again.
Fortunately, the girl calmly extended her hand in greeting.
"Hello, my name is Wang Chun'er. I'm from the Heavenly Dragon Sect, and I came to seek refuge with my cousin Bei Bei!"
"Do you know Bei Bei?"
Only then did Huo Yuhao hurriedly take Wang Chun'er's little hand and say excitedly, "I-I know him!"
"He's my senior brother. I'll show you the way right now!"
Bei Bei:?
They had just gone their separate ways, only to gather together again.
But this time, the atmosphere was rather strange.
The group sat around a round table: Tang Ya, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao, and Jiang Nannan.
All of them surrounded Wang Chun'er.
Wang Chun'er was not shy at all and presented herself openly.
"Hello, Cousin. My name is Wang Chun'er! The Sect Master sent me to seek refuge with you!"
Tang Ya shot Bei Bei a sharp look, leaving him utterly speechless.
"She... should... probably... maybe... perhaps... be my cousin."
Bei Bei could only put it that way. After all, anyone would feel a little—
Ahem.
Bei Bei raised three fingers and swore, "Teacher Xiaoya, Bei Bei only likes you!"
Tang Ya rolled her eyes speechlessly. Was that what she meant? Did he think she would get jealous whenever she saw a pretty girl? Did he take her for some immature little girl?
Fortunately, Xu Sanshi immediately began explaining without waiting for Bei Bei to speak. With his goddess Jiang Nannan sitting right there, this was the perfect time to show off his extensive knowledge.
"As everyone knows, long, long ago, the continent was divided between two great powers, Star Luo and Heaven Dou. There were countless sects, led by the Seven Great Sects, which were divided into the upper three sects and lower four sects."
"There's no need to mention the lower four sects. They became the lackeys of the evil Spirit Hall. As for the upper three sects, they were the Clear Sky Sect, which inherited the Clear Sky Hammer; the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with its Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—"
Before Xu Sanshi could finish, Huo Yuhao curiously raised his hand and asked, "Wait? Why is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul called the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Xu Sanshi chuckled but did not elaborate. Instead, he warned him meaningfully, "That's a long story, but it isn't today's main topic. You just need to know that you must never call them the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect outside, or you'll get beaten up."
Although the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had gradually declined, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse. It still possessed the foundation accumulated over tens of thousands of years.
"As for the final Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, it would be more accurate to call it a family inheritance than a sect."
Although the Clear Sky Sect was also a family inheritance, it clearly still recruited disciples from outside clans. At the very least, it possessed skills like blacksmithing, as seen in the Clear Sky Sect's former subordinate sects.
Only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect had been controlled solely by the Yu Clan, possessing the incomparably powerful Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
"It was only because the evil Spirit Hall launched a surprise attack back then that the other two upper sects, who should have stood together, failed to react in time. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect was wiped out!"
"The surviving disciples who were fortunate enough to escape the slaughter gathered together, rebuilt, and founded a sect called the Heavenly Dragon Sect!"
Xu Sanshi looked at Wang Chun'er curiously. "What is your Martial Soul?"
Wang Chun'er did not hesitate and openly displayed her Martial Soul.
"My Martial Soul is the Heavenly Dragon Horse, which possesses the bloodline of the Radiant Sacred Dragon!"
