A Secret Talk / Returning a Year Later

Bang bang bang~

"Please come in?"

After a few knocks, a response came from inside. ╰☆☆ ☆☆╮

Huo Wu entered with a grin and walked to the desk.

He looked up in a flash and his eyes met those of his daughter.

She already knew that it was her daughter who walked in.

Although I didn't look, I could already tell it was my daughter from the footsteps.

"Huo Wu, I heard that you and Huo Wushuang recently brought a guy who sells grilled fish at the entrance into the academy, became friends with him, and arranged for him to stay next to your brother's dormitory?"

"I think her name is Qian Ye, right?"

She had already met Qian Ye, but she still wanted to confirm the matter with her daughter.

On the other hand, she also didn't know enough about Qian Ye, so she wanted to learn more about him from her daughter to see if she could discover anything.

I've also heard that his grilled fish is incredibly delicious; I wonder if that's true.

"It's true." Huo Wu smiled.

"And Mom, Brother Ye is different from others, very different."

"Oh?" Fiery laughed too, "How is it different?"

Huo Wu: "He... he took out ten Soul Bone at once, gave me two, and gave my brother one too."

this...

Huo Bao's face showed shock. Brother Ye was indeed generous, able to take out ten Soul Bone at once, and even gave three of them to Huohuo and Wushuang.

"Huohuo, can you show the Soul Bone he gave you to your mother?"

"Sure. ☜🍪 ♣💝" Since the other party was her mother, Huo Wu was naturally not afraid that she would try to steal the Soul Bone. She took out a box from her Soul Tool and placed it on her desk.

Huo Bao's eyes lit up, and he quickly grabbed it and opened it.

But when we opened it, there were three pieces inside, not two. "Huohuo, didn't I say I only gave you two pieces? How come there are three? Did I put your brother's piece in there too?"

ah...

Huo Wu quickly shook her head. "No, Mom, the two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone were given to me by Brother Ye, and the other Thousand-Year Soul Bone was bought from that Soul Master Specialty Store. I went there with Brother Ye yesterday."

"It cost over nine million, and I only went to take a look, but Brother Ye bought it directly and gave it to me, which is why I have three pieces."

"I see!" Huo Bao nodded, "So he's very rich."

Nearly ten million was spent to buy this Twin-headed Fire Dragon Bird Soul Bone for Huohuo.

She knew about this Soul Bone and wanted to buy it, but it was too expensive and she didn't have the funds, so she could only look at it from afar.

It seems that Brother Ye's relationship with His Majesty is truly extraordinary, as he generously gifted Soul Bone.

But does the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family possess that many Soul Bone?

Huo Bao shook his head, still completely confused about the matter.

Next time, I might try asking him that.

Huo Bao carefully examined the three Soul Bone: "Hmm, these three Soul Bone were given to you by Brother Ye, so you must cherish them."

Huo Wu nodded, a happy look on her face. "Mom, I came to see you because I need something. 🍩💋 🐟☠"

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

Huo Wu grinned, "Of the three Soul Bone, I'll keep two and give one to you. However, I won't give you the thousand-year-old Twin-headed Fire Dragon Bird Thousand-Year Soul Bone. You can choose one from the two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone."

Huohuo!

The outburst was met with a touching response. "Really? My good daughter?"

Huo Wu: "Of course, you're my mother, it's only right for your daughter to give you a gift. Besides, I have three coins, what's one more for you?"

"Then Mom won't stand on ceremony." Fiery didn't hold back and happily picked out a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone from among them.

Feng Xiaoling didn't believe him, and Qian Ye wasn't angry.

It would be strange to believe.

We've only known each other for a couple of hours, so we need to get to know each other better first.

"Actually, Miss Feng, I have a secret weapon that can rapidly improve your cultivation level," Qian Ye said, getting to the point.

"Secret weapon? What secret weapon?" Feng Xiaoling asked curiously.

"If I said I was Titled Douluo, would you believe me?"

"You're Titled Douluo?" Feng Xiaoling was stunned.

Is he joking?

Feng Xiaoling gave a wry smile, thinking he was joking, "Brother Ye, you really know how to joke."

To gain someone's trust, and truly make them believe in you, you need to show them your true abilities; that's the best proof.

Qian Ye planned to show her his true strength first before revealing his secret weapon.

Buzz buzz buzz~

Suddenly, Qian Ye stood up, his Soul Power surging, and Soul Ring rose from beneath him.

Nine... nine golden spirit rings?

What does this mean?!

Feng Xiaoling was startled, never expecting that she was facing not a minor character, but a Titled Douluo of Level Ninety Plus.

"You're not a student of the academy? If you are, then you're also pretending."

That goes without saying; how could Titled Douluo possibly become a junior student at the Godwind Academy?

There's no need for that.

Qian Ye smiled, pressed her head down with his hand to make her sit down and speak, "Take your time, let me finish what I have to say."

"I am indeed not a student of your Godwind Academy, but the logistics manager of the Bright Soul Master Academy. May I ask, are you familiar with the Bright Soul Master Academy?"

this...

Feng Xiaoling thought for a moment, "The Bright Soul Master Academy... is that the newly opened academy, the one built by the former Crown Prince, Heaven Dou Emperor, across the street from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy of Soul Masters?"

"Yes."

"That's right. My friend and I went there once and looked around from outside the Bright Soul Master Academy. It's huge."

"Yes, our Bright Soul Master Academy not only boasts the largest facilities on the Douluo Continent, but its current teaching and accommodation capacity can also accommodate 100,000 students."

"This is huge! But what are you doing at our Godwind Academy as the logistics manager of the Bright Soul Master Academy?"

Qian Ye smiled faintly, "That's the key point. It's also what His Majesty sent me here. As His Majesty's representative for the Bright Soul Master Academy, I'm here incognito to conduct an inspection of your Godwind Academy."

"Of course, you're not the only institution we're considering; the other four institutions from the Five Elements Academy are also included."

"I've already finished my inspection of the Blazing Fire Academy; you're the second one here."

"Why is that? What is His Majesty's intention?" Feng Xiaoling was completely bewildered.

They also doubted whether the other party was genuine or not.

After all, words are not enough to prove anything.

Qian Ye: "His Majesty's goal is simple: to merge your Five Elements Academy into our Bright Soul Master Academy."

"This... is it real?" Feng Xiaoling was completely confused.

Is this even possible?

"Here are the details, listen..." Qian Ye then explained the whole story to him.

"I see!" Feng Xiaoling finally understood the purpose of Qian Ye's visit.

"But Brother Ye... oh no... it should be Your Excellency."

"Just call me Brother Ye."

"Alright! Brother Ye... but right now I'm just a student in the academy and the family, and my parents aren't here, so I have no say or power. So why don't you talk to my uncle Feng Lefei about this?"

"I... I can't help you either, I can only take you to his office to see him!"

What Feng Xiaoling said was true. Although she was the daughter of the former dean, she was no longer the one; she was just an orphan. Now, Feng Lefei was the dean of the Godwind Academy, and he had the final say in everything.
