At this moment, she sincerely regarded Si Tingxuan as her teacher.
Si Tingxuan nodded. "Those people beside you earlier were your clansmen, right? Let the younger one stay at the academy and study. Have the older one drive the carriage and come back with us."
Hua Qingluo said happily, "This disciple will go make arrangements right away."
After saying that, she added, "They are my younger brother, Hua Bufan, and my second granduncle, Hua Wufeng!"
With that, she ran out. She could barely wait to share this wonderful news with her second granduncle and little brother.
Since she remembered the route here, returning to the courtyard gate was naturally no difficult task.
The moment Hua Qingluo emerged, she once again drew everyone's attention.
Envious and jealous gazes were cast her way.
Hua Bufan and Hua Wufeng were overjoyed, though they were also somewhat puzzled.
Seeing Hua Qingluo running toward them, Hua Bufan hurriedly asked, "Sis, why did you come out?"
Hua Qingluo's face was full of excitement. "I told Teacher that I wanted to return to Wise Peak City first. I never expected Teacher to say he would come back with me!"
"Really?"
Hua Bufan and Hua Wufeng looked utterly delighted.
Naturally, they understood the benefits of Si Tingxuan accompanying them back.
What an unexpected blessing!
Hua Qingluo said, "Second Granduncle, make your preparations."
Hua Wufeng nodded repeatedly. "All right, all right, all right! I'll go right away!"
Hua Qingluo then said to Hua Bufan, "Bufan, as for you... just study here in peace!"
"Hahaha, don't worry. I'm very reassured."
With Si Tingxuan returning with Hua Qingluo, what could he possibly worry about?
Zhang Liang, standing nearby, looked completely different.
Although Hua Qingluo had previously been accepted as Si Tingxuan's disciple, he had never expected her to be valued so highly.
He signaled an elderly man behind him with a look.
How could the old man fail to understand? Such a major matter had to be reported to the family as soon as possible, lest something unexpected happen.
Otherwise, even the entire Zhang Family could be dragged down with them.
The Hua Family was no longer what it had once been. They had to treat everything with caution!
So, after giving him a look that said he understood, the old man immediately turned and left.
An hour later.
A particularly luxurious carriage slowly drove out from Odd Weapons Academy.
Hua Wufeng was driving the carriage.
Si Tingxuan and Hua Qingluo sat inside it.
Time passed little by little. A day later, they arrived at the first town along their route.
Lion King Town.
However, not long after entering the town, the carriage came to an abrupt stop.
The carriage jolted violently.
Hua Qingluo, who had been meditating inside and cultivating her Soul Power, lost her balance and slammed her head against the carriage wall, crying out in pain.
Si Tingxuan remained steady, but he opened his eyes and frowned slightly. "What happened?"
Hua Wufeng said, "Sir Teacher... someone was thrown in front of our carriage."
As someone from Hua Qingluo's grandfather's generation, he could not find a suitable form of address for Si Tingxuan for the moment, so he ended up using such an odd title.
However, Si Tingxuan did not care much, so he let it be.
"Thrown?"
Si Tingxuan found that strange. He lifted the carriage curtain and glanced outside.
A young woman of seventeen or eighteen lay in a miserable state before the carriage.
At the side of the street, a group of people were watching the show.
When one of them saw Si Tingxuan emerge, he immediately shouted, "Why did you stop the carriage? Run her over!"
Several people beside him immediately started clamoring as well. "Exactly! Trash like her only disgraces herself by staying alive. She might as well die beneath the horses' hooves."
"Don't say that! She was once the young mistress, our former eldest miss!"
Si Tingxuan was speechless when he heard that.
Wasn't this sort of former young master being bullied plot the usual opening trope for transmigrators?
He had never expected to run into such melodramatic nonsense on this trip.
He then shook his head. In a world where one's future was decided the moment one awakened one's Martial Soul, it was impossible for some useless young master to rise against the odds.
Still, he was extremely displeased with that group.
By throwing her over, they were not only gambling with that useless young mistress's life, but also with theirs.
If ordinary people had been sitting in this carriage, that toss could easily have caused the carriage to overturn, injuring or even killing someone.
However, these people were not worthy of him personally acting. He said coldly, "Teach them a lesson. Make them..."
Naturally, he was speaking to Hua Wufeng. However, before he could finish—
Those people spoke again. "Tsk, tsk. She isn't merely the former young mistress. Don't forget, she is also the strongest trash in Lion King Town—no, in the entire continent."
"The strongest trash on the entire continent?"
Si Tingxuan froze. He suddenly grew curious. What kind of Martial Soul would earn someone such a title?
He looked at the girl lying before the carriage again, this time using the system function.
Name: Long Wu Title: Strongest Trash Identity: Former young mistress of the Long Family in Lion King Town. Age: 16 Talent: Innate Level One Martial Soul: Ice Pot Lid Martial Soul: Mutated Little Green Snake Soul Power: Level Twelve Oddity Level: Level Ten
Holy shit.
Twin Martial Souls?
Have you ever seen someone with twin Martial Souls and Innate Level One talent?
Absolutely not, right?
Yet there was one standing right in front of him.
Impressive! All right!
The title of Strongest Trash was truly well deserved!
Not to mention that her Martial Soul oddity level was as high as Level Ten, perfectly meeting the requirements. Even if it did not, he would still take her in based on her twin Martial Soul talent alone.
At worst, he would seize those Immortal Items before Tang San did.
Even if he had to pile up Immortal Items, he would produce a super genius comparable to Tang San and Bibi Dong.
At this moment, Hua Wufeng had already gotten out of the carriage.
Although Si Tingxuan had not finished speaking, his meaning could not have been clearer. Moreover, Hua Wufeng now obeyed Si Tingxuan without question.
Since Si Tingxuan wanted him to teach these people a lesson, he naturally would.
He slowly walked toward the group.
His gaze turned icy as he said coldly, "A bunch of uncultured brats. I'll properly educate you on behalf of your parents, lest one day you offend someone you shouldn't and die without even knowing how."
"Pfft."
The group was first stunned, then they could not help bursting into laughter.
One of them pointed at Hua Wufeng and said, "Do you know who we are?"
"This coachman has some nerve. He even dares provoke us. He probably isn't from this town, is he?"
"Definitely not. When did our town ever get someone this arrogant?"
"You're just a carriage driver. What do you think you can do? Educate us? Are you trying to make us laugh to death?"
"Oh dear, my stomach hurts from laughing. I always thought Long Five was the biggest joke in Lion King Town. I never expected to run into someone even more ridicu—ugh...!!!"
That person's words abruptly stopped.
Because at that moment, five Soul Rings—three yellow, one purple, and one black—rose from Hua Wufeng's body.
