An Identity So Ordinary It Seemed Forged?

Director Su fell silent for a moment after hearing this, then suddenly laughed: "It's fine, Martial Soul Hall won't believe it."

Teacher Li was stunned: "Won't believe it? Why?"

"Think about it." Director Su stood up and paced around the office, "Lin Yi's inner voice can only be heard by those present. This ability itself is incredibly bizarre. Without experiencing it firsthand, who would believe that a person could speak so many secrets within their own mind?"

He turned around, looked at Teacher Li, and added: "Besides, Su Yuntao has already been here and did indeed investigate this matter, so if similar things happen in the future, they won't believe it anymore."

With Director Su's explanation, the tightly knitted brows on Teacher Li's face relaxed slightly.

He lowered his voice and said: "You mean... even if someone else brings this up, Martial Soul Hall won't believe that these inner voices are real?"

"What do you think?" Director Su sat back down at his desk and tapped the table, "After going through this, if someone else goes to Martial Soul Hall to leak information, how do you think they will react?"

Teacher Li was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "They will definitely think that person is playing them for a fool."

He paused, then added: "But what if someone in Martial Soul Hall can also hear that child Lin Yi's inner voice?"

Once these words were spoken, the office fell into a momentary silence.

Teacher Li's question was indeed a hidden danger.

As it stands, apart from Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, so many people can hear his inner voice.

The people from Martial Soul Hall might be able to hear it as well.

If they want to prevent such a thing from happening, they must keep Lin Yi away from the people of Martial Soul Hall.

Director Su rubbed his chin in thought for a moment before saying slowly: "This is indeed an aspect that needs to be considered, but we cannot restrict his freedom because of it."

"Then what do you mean..."

"Let nature take its course." Director Su's expression was serious as he said: "But we must also be prepared. If we act too obviously, it will only make him suspicious."

"Also, tell the other teachers about Martial Soul Hall's visit. Try not to let the students know, so as to avoid unnecessary panic."

"Understood, Director." Teacher Li nodded, "I will go make the arrangements right away."

With that, Teacher Li left the office.

The door was gently pulled shut, and the office returned to silence.

Director Su's gaze fell upon the student file on the desk.

The name Lin Yi was written clearly on the cover.

"Lin Yi, oh Lin Yi..." Director Su muttered to himself, "Who exactly are you? And where did these abilities of yours come from?"

He opened Lin Yi's file and read it carefully once more, but found nothing unusual, save for the line 'parents unknown' which exuded a sense of mystery.

Director Su closed the file, recalling the time the head of the orphanage sent Lin Yi to the school and mentioned this child... that hesitant, tight-lipped expression.

The background of this child is likely not simple either.

Tang San, the son of the Clear Sky Douluo; Xiao Wu, a soul beast in human form; and then there is Lin Yi, whose inner voice reveals everything.

Director Su sighed, feeling that these few individuals were the most difficult group he had ever had to manage since he began teaching.

Meanwhile.

At the academy gate, the curtain of a carriage was slightly lifted. Su Yuntao looked back through the gap at the gradually receding gate of Notting Academy, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Deacon." The female assistant closed her notebook and asked softly: "Do you think Director Su's words are credible?"

Su Yuntao let go of the curtain upon hearing this, leaned back against the carriage seat, and closed his eyes to ponder for a moment: "Half-truth and half-false. There is definitely something hidden in the academy, but it may not be what we are looking for."

"Those rumors..."

"Rumors are often exaggerated." He slowly opened his eyes, "The oldest in the academy is only twelve, and the youngest is six. Can these people predict the future? It's simply too absurd."

He curled his lip and continued: "I am more inclined to believe that someone is deliberately spreading information to attract the attention of Martial Soul Hall."

The female assistant was puzzled: "Who would do such a thing?"

"Who knows." Su Yuntao rubbed his temples, "Perhaps some faction wants to use Martial Soul Hall to get rid of someone, or perhaps it's just a children's game that has been blown out of proportion. In any case, without concrete evidence, it is not wise to act rashly."

The female assistant nodded and said nothing more.

At this moment, the carriage fell into a brief silence.

Suddenly, the female assistant remembered something and said cautiously: "Deacon, I remember you presided over the martial soul awakening ceremony in Holy Soul Village. That child named Tang San, do you think... could he be a twin martial soul?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuntao's eyes turned sharp, and he glared at the female assistant: "Do not speak such nonsense."

"I was just..."

The female assistant shrank her head, but was quickly interrupted.

Su Yuntao said very seriously: "Tang San's martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. Although Innate Full Soul Power is rare, it is not without precedent."

"You should know what a twin martial soul implies. Speculation without evidence will only bring disaster to that child."

The female assistant nodded quickly: "This subordinate understands."

Su Yuntao glanced at the female assistant, then lifted the curtain to look out the window.

In his heart, he actually had his own doubts. Back in Holy Soul Village, Tang San had indeed left a very deep impression on him.

An Innate Full Soul Power with a trash martial soul—this in itself was already unusual.

Doubt was doubt, but Su Yuntao still had his own principles.

Unless he saw it with his own eyes, he would never report any unverified conjecture.

After all, this was the most basic respect for a Spirit Master, and it was also being responsible for his own duties.

He shook his head and then instructed, "After returning to the branch hall, write a routine report. Be cautious with your wording; just state that everything in Nuoding City is normal, and mention nothing else."

"Yes."

As these words fell, only the sound of rolling wheels could be heard, which also meant that the investigation by the Martial Soul Hall had come to an end.

On the other side.

In a simple room within the faculty dormitory area, Yu Xiaogang was facing his prized disciple.

Tang San stood before him, his face showing the fatigue of his journey, yet his eyes remained clear.

He had just returned from Holy Soul Village and had been summoned by Yu Xiaogang before he could even sit down in his dormitory.

"Teacher, did you call for me?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded, signaling him to sit, then took a file from his drawer and pushed it toward Tang San.

"These are the results of my investigation during this period."

Tang San took the file and quickly scanned through it.

It was no different from what he had seen before: born to ordinary villagers, parents unknown, recommended for enrollment by an orphanage, Auxiliary-type Martial Soul Myriad Star Core, Innate Soul Power level three...

He put down the file, his brows slightly furrowed, "Teacher, this is no different from before; it's very ordinary."

"Ordinary." Yu Xiaogang nodded, "So ordinary that it seems forged."

Tang San was slightly taken aback, "Teacher, what do you mean by that?"

Yu Xiaogang stood up and looked out the window, "I utilized the network I had back in the Martial Soul Hall and searched through the archives of Nuoding City and its surrounding areas, but I couldn't find any records regarding anything special about him or his parents."
