Tour Guide Tang Ya

By this point, Huo Yuhao had forcibly squeezed through the crowd. Though he had not managed to get inside, he could still see what was happening clearly.

"Wow, junior, what's your name? You're so handsome."

"Let's be friends. My name is xxx."

"Are you hurt? I have medicine for treating injuries."

"Little junior, I'm a healing Soul Master. How about we go somewhere? I can help you."

Watching Wang Dong receive such adoration and concern from the girls,

Huo Yuhao's memories were instantly pulled back to when they had first met.

Their argument over how the cleaning duties were assigned.

It was as if nothing had changed.

Heaven had given him a chance to start over, to cherish this rare and precious love even more, and to relive this fantastical journey.

But there were also some subtle changes.

"No."

Having recovered, Wang Dong shook his head and refused.

"All of you, get lost! Stop crowding around me!"

If anyone else had shouted like that, the people surrounding them might have cursed back or even started beating them up.

But Wang Dong's looks were enough to suppress all their tempers. They even found him domineering and handsome.

"Wow, this little junior is so domineering. I like him so much."

"..."

Wang Dong was speechless when he heard that.

He directly pushed them aside and prepared to leave. Just as he was about to go, Huo Yuhao spoke.

"Wang Dong!"

At their first meeting, Huo Yuhao did not know how to describe the sound of his own voice, but his heart could not stop trembling.

"Hm?"

No one among all these people had known his name, yet someone had called it. Wang Dong grew curious and turned to look.

Seeing that it was merely a weakling just over level ten, Wang Dong instantly lost all interest.

"What is it?"

The icy voice shattered all of Huo Yuhao's fantasies in an instant.

That was right. They did not know each other yet. Being too enthusiastic might have the opposite effect.

"I want to get to know you. My name is Huo Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao took the initiative to push through the crowd, stepping forward and extending his hand.

Yet as Wang Dong looked at the hand offered to him, it was abnormally thin. It was not exactly dirty, but it did not make him want to shake it at all.

Too weak. He did not even deserve an explanation. Wang Dong still stood with his arms crossed and rolled his eyes.

"I don't want to know trash."

The current Wang Dong was a top-tier young master. There was no way he would take the initiative to get acquainted with trash, especially someone who had come fawning over him.

Someone had to beat him into submission in some aspect first.

He was not in the mood to spar now. He wanted to find the person who had kept rejecting him.

After saying that, Wang Dong left directly, heading toward the freshmen dormitories.

But Huo Yuhao followed him like that, since he happened to be going the same way.

Tap, tap, tap!

The footsteps were dense and close behind him. Wang Dong was already walking with an inexplicable irritation, and when he glanced sideways and saw that the other person was still following, he could not hold back any longer.

"Are you done bothering me? Why are you following me?"

Huo Yuhao truly had not realized Wang Dong was angry. He only thought Wang Dong was still like before, merely acting tsundere. He revealed a shameless grin.

"But I need to go in too. I'm also a newly enrolled student."

"Hmph."

Upon hearing that, Wang Dong stomped his foot, turned around, and left. He did not even enter the freshmen building, deciding to go clear his head instead.

"Hey!"

Huo Yuhao raised a hand to stop him, but Wang Dong did not even look back. He even released his martial soul, wings growing from his back.

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth at the sight...

He wanted to chase after him, but was he worthy? He was not worthy at all right now. He was only a Soul Master. How could he possibly catch up to Wang Dong, who was already a Soul Elder?

He wanted to raise his hand and stop him, but all he could do was sigh helplessly.

Just then, Bei Bei suddenly called out to him.

"Yuhao, let's go."

Only when Huo Yuhao turned around did he notice that an old man stood beside Bei Bei. He knew this old man—it was Mu En, the teacher who had taught him Heavenly Dominion.

"Come with us. After all, you saved Bei Bei's life."

Mu En naturally had his own reasons for bringing Huo Yuhao along. He was very curious about what kind of treasure a mere Soul Master like Huo Yuhao could possess to save someone whose vital essence and blood had been drained.

Perhaps they could bring it over for Elder Zhuang and the others to study and analyze.

"Alright."

Thus, Mu En left with Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao, heading for the inner courtyard.

Back on the other side.

Tang Ya was taking Jiang Mu around Shrek Academy.

Her expression was not particularly good.

She had shown Jiang Mu around Shrek Academy's cafeteria, classrooms, plaza—everywhere. Now, they had arrived at the entrance.

And in the square before the entrance stood several statues.

"These statues are of Shrek Academy's founders, as well as the Grandmaster who developed the Ten Core Competence Theories."

Tang Ya raised her hand as she explained. She first introduced the Grandmaster, then looked to the side and introduced Flandre and Liu Erlong.

Finally, she arrived before the statues of the Shrek Seven Monsters. Her hand rested on Tang San's statue, and she paused for a moment before speaking.

"This is the statue of Sea God Tang San, founder of the Tang Sect and the one who destroyed Spirit Hall's evil plans."

"Mm."

That was a very good question.

Jiang Mu did not say anything. Even if he analyzed it, no one would believe him. Besides, his analysis would only be limited to what had truly happened; he could not pass judgment on it.

Moreover, based on the information he knew, Spirit Hall's unification would not necessarily have been a good thing.

Because after the unification, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue would inevitably fight another battle.

The continent would suffer devastating damage again.

It would be fine if Qian Renxue won. If she could maintain the system of freely awakening martial souls for ordinary people and distributing Gold Soul Coins, that would be acceptable.

But if Dong won, the entire Douluo Continent would be finished. After all, in her eyes, there was only her Brother Gangzi.

Then again, maybe not. There were all sorts of possibilities, but it definitely could not have been all good.

He would have to see it for himself.

Jiang Mu stroked his chin in thought. The treasure chest rewards could contain practically anything. He wondered whether he could draw one that would send him back to the past.

If he could return to ten thousand years ago, he would be able to give them a proper critique.

One let his thoughts run wild, while the other continued her enthusiastic explanation for a while longer.

"Alright, there's nothing else to see. That's basically it."

"Mm~"

Jiang Mu nodded. Seeing that everyone was already at the entrance, should they just return to the inn? There were no classes tomorrow anyway; they would only begin the day after tomorrow.

After speaking, he looked up at Tang Ya. A fine layer of sweat had already appeared on her forehead. Her lips were dry from all the explaining, and her tongue quickly swept over them as she panted lightly.

"Ha~"

"Is there anywhere else you want to go?"

"No, Tang Ya. Let's go back to the inn. I have something to tell you."

The moment she heard that, Tang Ya clearly got the wrong idea. Jiang Mu saw her face stiffen, then slowly turn red before she nodded.

"Alright."

It was fine. She had wicked thoughts of her own anyway. With Jiang Nannan absent, this was the perfect time to have some peace and quiet.
