It wasn't just Su Yun.
Ah Yin, who had already returned to Su Yun's Martial Soul Space, had also immediately seen through Xiao Wu's identity!
"Little Su Yun, that little girl is a Soul Beast too!"
Ah Yin suddenly spoke up to warn him.
"What?! That can't be right, can it?"
Su Yun pretended to look surprised and asked, "Sister Yin, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"How could that little girl possibly be a Soul Beast?"
Ah Yin shook her head. "I became human through Soul Beast Transformation myself. How could I mistake one?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that little girl should be a hundred-thousand-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit who transformed into human form."
"Her Soul Power is still below level sixty. She's only in her juvenile stage."
Su Yun feigned sudden realization. "So that's how it is."
There was a hint of worry in Ah Yin's voice. "That little girl is far too bold."
"She's only in her juvenile stage, yet she dares to enter human society."
"If anyone discovers her, she'll surely be..."
Ah Yin's voice abruptly cut off.
Though she didn't continue, Su Yun knew what she meant.
Ah Yin herself had been discovered by Qian Xunji, which was what had led to her sacrifice.
Thinking of this, Su Yun couldn't help frowning slightly.
According to the original timeline, Tang Hao had actually spent most of his time keeping an eye on Xiao Wu and Tang San.
Even now.
It wasn't until Tang San's first year at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy was over that Tang Hao temporarily left to take care of his own business.
And because of Tang San, Tang Hao had never made a move against Xiao Wu.
But now, if Su Yun got to Xiao Wu first—
Would Tang Hao still feel compassion for her?
Would he spare Xiao Wu because she, like Ah Yin, was a Soul Beast who had taken human form?
Even Su Yun wasn't sure.
Just then, Xiao Wu's voice sounded in front of him again.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?"
Hearing her, Su Yun realized that Xiao Wu had been talking to him the whole time.
He answered at once, "Yes, this is Dorm Seven."
"Really?"
Xiao Wu blinked and looked at Su Yun. "Then you're a student in Dorm Seven too?"
Su Yun nodded.
"Great! Then let's go in together."
Without another word, Xiao Wu took Su Yun by the hand and led him into Dorm Seven.
When they entered Dorm Seven,
as it happened,
Wang Sheng and Tang San had already finished their fight.
Seeing Xiao Wu and Su Yun come in, Wang Sheng immediately pushed Tang San forward.
When Tang San saw Su Yun enter with Xiao Wu,
he naturally had no issue with Xiao Wu.
He was only a little surprised by how pretty the girl was and didn't have any other thoughts about her.
But when it came to Su Yun, a trace of hostility appeared in his eyes.
After all, Su Yun had just shown his teacher great disrespect, and now they were rivals, too.
So Tang San decided to teach Su Yun a small lesson.
He gave Wang Sheng a meaningful look.
Wang Sheng understood at once.
He stepped forward and said to Xiao Wu and Su Yun,
"Our Dorm Seven has a rule: new work-study students have to show off their Martial Souls and their abilities, so we can decide who's in charge."
"Tang San beat me just now, so he's in charge now."
"By the rules, you both have to fight him."
"Which of you wants to go first?"
As soon as Wang Sheng finished speaking, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and a hint of excitement even appeared on her face!
"A fight? Sure, sure!"
Xiao Wu immediately sprang forward, looked at Tang San, and smiled.
"My Martial Soul is an adorable little white rabbit. What's yours?"
"My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass," Tang San replied coolly.
Seeing Xiao Wu step forward first, Tang San didn't feel any particular urgency.
He shouldn't have to work too hard to deal with this little girl.
With that thought, he prepared to spar with Xiao Wu.
But just then,
a green-haired teacher suddenly walked in.
Su Yun recognized him. His name was Mo Hen.
In the original story, he came to deliver Tang San's bedding and explain the work-study students' duties.
After leaving the bedding behind and briefly explaining the arrangements for the next two days, Mo Hen left Dorm Seven.
Once Mo Hen was gone, Su Yun saw Xiao Wu's sly gaze settle on the bedding he had left behind.
"Tang San, how about we make a deal?"
Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled. "If I beat you, you have to give me your bedding and pillow."
Tang San paused, then understood.
This girl named Xiao Wu had her eye on his bedding.
"No. My teacher gave it to me. I can't use it as a stake in a bet between us."
Tang San shook his head.
Seeing that Tang San had refused, Xiao Wu's eyes darted around before she spoke again.
"Then how about this? If you win, I'll do your cleaning for the next year, and you can keep all the pay I earn. How does that sound?"
At Xiao Wu's offer, Tang San became a little interested.
Money wasn't especially important.
What mattered was that if Xiao Wu did his cleaning, he'd have a lot more time to cultivate.
As the saying went, constant dripping wears away stone.
Even a little extra time to cultivate each day would make him stronger than before!
Thinking about it that way, he wasn't really losing out.
Besides, she was just a girl.
He should be able to deal with her easily.
Tang San had clearly mistaken Xiao Wu for an ordinary six-year-old girl, so he didn't take her seriously.
And so he nodded. "All right, I accept."
"Hehe, great! Let's get started."
Xiao Wu giggled, planted her foot, and bent her body like a drawn bow. With a sudden spring, she shot toward Tang San.
Tang San was slightly surprised by how fast Xiao Wu moved, but immediately prepared to counterattack.
However,
to Tang San's surprise,
Before you continue
