Lin Mo stood up and walked over to the two girls.
He gently pinched Dugu Yan's cheek.
Then he stroked Ye Lingling's little head.
This ability is a little terrifying.
Lin Mo was secretly alarmed.
In the end, he released his control over the two girls.
But he kept the Eye of Myriad Phenomena active.
After all, he had discovered that leaving it active did not seem to have any adverse effects.
Instead, it made activating his soul skills a little faster.
"Huh? Why did you suddenly stand up?"
Dugu Yan looked at the boy before her and asked in confusion.
Behind her, Ye Lingling also knitted her delicate brows as she looked at him.
"Ahem~ I was standing the whole time, okay? Anyway, what did you two come to see me for, seniors?"
Lin Mo gave a light cough and changed the subject.
After all, he could hardly tell them he had just taken control of them, could he?
"What did we come to see you for? More than half a year has passed. Don't tell me you've lost track of time?"
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes prettily and replied in exasperation.
Behind her, Ye Lingling nodded as well.
"What? I've been cultivating for more than half a year?"
Lin Mo's eyes widened slightly as he asked in surprise.
He had closed his eyes, opened them again, and more than half a year had passed just from condensing a soul core?
"What else? All right~ let's get going."
Dugu Yan took Lin Mo's hand and headed straight outside.
Her already developing bust pressed firmly against the boy's arm.
Ye Lingling shook her head at the pair's intimate behavior.
"Oh, right. The academy's three committee members want to meet you. Do you want to go?"
At that moment, Dugu Yan suddenly remembered the actual reason for their visit and continued.
She was not surprised in the slightest that her junior had been invited.
After all, his battle with Yu Tianheng back then had caused quite a stir throughout the academy.
It was only natural that word had reached the Education Committee.
"The committee members? Interesting. Let's go take a look, then."
Hearing that he could meet powerful experts, Lin Mo immediately became interested.
He agreed without a second thought.
"Great! Then let's head straight to the Education Committee!"
Dugu Yan nodded and led the boy toward the main campus.
The Education Committee.
As the core department of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
It was naturally located at the very center of the main campus.
Although the building had only one story.
It stood a full ten meters tall.
It looked rather like a Spirit Hall Branch.
"They've made it pretty grand."
Looking at the building before him, Lin Mo could not help remarking.
All he could say was that it certainly lived up to its name as an academy for nobles. With money, they could do whatever they pleased!!
"Of course. Come on, I'll take you inside."
Dugu Yan lifted her chin slightly and said with a hint of pride.
After all, this was her own school!!
With that, the girl pushed open the main doors and went in first.
The quiet Ye Lingling followed close behind.
Aren't the three committee members just three Soul Douluos? Hehe~ another juicy haul.
The corners of Lin Mo's mouth rose as he calculated inwardly.
After entering the committee building, the three soon reached the reception hall.
Three elderly men sat upright in the seats of honor, radiating powerful auras.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling instinctively grew a little nervous.
Lin Mo, however, remained perfectly composed, completely unaffected.
He had even activated the Eye of Myriad Phenomena's innate soul skill.
[Target: Meng Shenji] [Eighth Soul Ring: Obtained the soul ring of a forty-eight-thousand-year Mirror Shadow Beast!!] [Storage Soul Tool: Obtained one Storage Ring with twenty cubic meters of space!] [Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone: Obtained one left leg bone from a nineteen-thousand-year Purple Shadow Lion!!]
Looking at the elderly man seated in the middle, Lin Mo smiled faintly.
He directly copied the Eighth Soul Ring and the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Then he swept his gaze over the two men beside him.
As expected, they were both Soul Douluos as well.
They directly supplied him with two forty-seven-thousand-year soul rings.
Along with an eleven-thousand-year soul bone and a four-thousand-year soul bone.
"You must be our young friend Lin Mo, who defeated Yu Tianheng? You certainly are an impressive young man."
Hearing them arrive, Meng Shenji stood up and said with a smile.
To possess such strength and cultivation at so young an age was truly astonishing.
"Thank you for your praise, senior. May I ask why the three of you wished to see me?"
Lin Mo responded politely as well.
They probed me with their spiritual power the moment I came in.
Do these three old geezers suspect me?
He was naturally well aware of the disturbance caused by his spiritual soul core.
But he had not expected suspicion to fall on him.
After all, how could a child like him possibly have done something like that?
At that moment, Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin exchanged a glance.
Both shook their heads slightly.
"It's nothing major. We simply wanted to invite you to become a student at Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Meng Shenji extended the invitation with a faint smile.
Although they had discovered nothing, taking in a genius would still be worthwhile.
"Thank you for your kindness, committee members, but I have no plans to transfer schools for now."
Lin Mo shook his head and declined without a second thought.
After all, having them probe him right from the start had made him very uncomfortable.
They ought to be glad he was not Tang San.
Otherwise...
You have already given me cause-to kill you!!
"Very well, then. We won't force you. If you change your mind, you can come to us anytime."
Meng Shenji nodded and said nothing more.
Dugu Yan, on the other hand, was a little unhappy.
After the three left the committee building.
Lin Mo said it was time for him to leave.
After all, there was nothing for him to do at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
He had originally come just to look around, only to end up staying for more than half a year.
"You're leaving so soon?"
Dugu Yan could not help feeling a little dejected.
She did not know what had come over her either.
She simply felt reluctant to part with the boy before her.
"It's all right. We may not be able to meet for a while, but we can write to each other."
Seeing the girl's dejected expression, Lin Mo spoke with a slight curl of his lips.
Has this little lass fallen for me?
But with another girl standing beside them, he could hardly do anything too bold.
"Okay! It's a promise!!"
Dugu Yan nodded, took out a sheet of paper and a pen, and handed them over.
She clearly wanted the boy to leave his address.
"All right~ all right~ all right~ Actually, we'll be seeing each other again before long."
Lin Mo took the paper and pen, smiling as he wrote down his address.
After leaving his address, he looked at Ye Lingling beside them, then at Dugu Yan.
"All right, I'll be going now. Don't miss me too much."
With that, the boy turned and left.
After all, they would meet again before long. There was no need to get overly sentimental.
But one girl did not seem to think so.
"Hmph~ that jerk. He just left like that."
Dugu Yan pouted and gave an unhappy snort.
Her entire body radiated an aura that warned everyone to keep their distance.
In an instant, she went from an older sister looking after her junior to a cold, dangerous venomous snake.
Beside her, Ye Lingling shivered as well.
Even a beauty with a heart of snakes and scorpions could hardly be more frightening.
