Douluo: My System Is Too Awesome!

As the leader of the Seventh Dormitory, Bai Ye politely thanked Yu Xiaogang on behalf of all the work-study students in the Seventh Dormitory for stepping in to help.

From the original story, Bai Ye had thought that Yu Xiaogang had happened to meet Tang San and, through a series of coincidences, had ultimately taken Tang San as his disciple.

So Bai Ye still had no idea that Yu Xiaogang had helped because of him and Xiao Wu.

With the noble students who had blocked their way gone, after thanking Yu Xiaogang, Bai Ye first invited him to have lunch with them. However, Yu Xiaogang declined, saying that he had already eaten.

Bai Ye did not insist. Instead, he led the work-study students to the second floor of the cafeteria. After sitting at several adjoining tables, they began ordering dishes.

Afterward, Bai Ye, Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the other work-study students chatted as they waited for the food. Once the dishes arrived, they began eating heartily.

Just like that, half an hour quickly passed.

After finishing the meal and paying the bill, Bai Ye prepared to leave with Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the other work-study students.

However, just as Bai Ye was about to lead everyone away—

Bai Ye noticed with some confusion that Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, who had been reading at a nearby table, had also risen at the same time. When they went downstairs, he followed behind them.

Why is Yu Xiaogang following us?

Bai Ye could not make sense of it.

But since he could not be sure Yu Xiaogang was actually following him, Bai Ye said nothing. Pretending not to notice, he continued chatting and laughing with Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the other work-study students as they walked.

But after Bai Ye and the others left the cafeteria, walked some distance, and arrived beside a patch of woods, Yu Xiaogang's voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Students, could you wait a moment?"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's voice, Bai Ye, Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the other work-study students immediately stopped.

Everyone turned back to look at Yu Xiaogang, their faces full of confusion.

"I have something I would like to discuss with Bai Ye and Xiao Wu. Could you two come over?"

Looking at the group, Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

"Boss Bai Ye, Big Sister Leader Xiao Wu, he's looking for you two..."

At those words, Wang Sheng and the other work-study students could not help looking at Bai Ye and Xiao Wu. Some of them seemed to have realized something, but did not dare to be certain.

"Grandmaster, what do you need us for?"

Having already asked Wang Sheng about Yu Xiaogang's identity during lunch, Bai Ye was rather puzzled when he heard that Yu Xiaogang wanted to speak with him and Xiao Wu.

"It is not convenient to talk here. Let us go over there first."

Yu Xiaogang did not answer directly. Saying this, he turned and walked toward the woods not far away.

Bai Ye glanced at Xiao Wu, who had also followed along. He had a faint feeling about what this was, but could not be sure. After telling Wang Sheng and the others to go on ahead, he and Xiao Wu followed Yu Xiaogang.

They went deep into the woods. This place was already far from Nuoding Academy's main path. There was no one around, and the forest was quiet.

"Grandmaster, what did you want to talk to us about?"

After Yu Xiaogang stopped, Bai Ye and Xiao Wu walked to his side. Looking at Yu Xiaogang before him, Bai Ye asked directly.

"It is nothing much. I merely heard that the two of you both possess Innate Full Soul Power, so I wanted to ask whether that is true."

Looking at Bai Ye and Xiao Wu, Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, I have Innate Full Soul Power."

Bai Ye nodded at Yu Xiaogang's question.

"So do I!"

Xiao Wu nodded as well.

"Since you both have Innate Full Soul Power, why did you join Nuoding Academy? With your talent, if nothing else, Spirit Hall should have recruited you, should they not?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned as he raised his question, probing indirectly.

"I have actually already joined Spirit Hall. But since I dreamed of joining Nuoding Academy when I was young, I asked Spirit Hall for a long leave so I could come experience Nuoding Academy. It can be considered fulfilling a childhood dream and leaving no regrets in life."

Bai Ye did not hide anything in response to Yu Xiaogang's question. After a moment of thought, he answered with a smile.

"I had no money, and I did not know where to enroll in a Soul Master Academy. An old grandfather gave me a work-study student spot and told me to come to Nuoding Academy, so I came!"

Xiao Wu replied as though it were only natural.

Hearing Bai Ye's answer, Yu Xiaogang felt somewhat disappointed. He had not expected Bai Ye to have already joined Spirit Hall. In that case, he was probably unable to take Bai Ye as a disciple.

Still, that was fine. Bai Ye's luxurious clothing had already made Yu Xiaogang feel that taking him as a disciple might be difficult.

However, Xiao Wu's plain clothes gave Yu Xiaogang high hopes. After hearing her background, which made her sound like an orphan—

Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and could no longer restrain himself.

"Xiao Wu, Nuoding Academy's teaching staff is not particularly strong. If you remain at Nuoding Academy to study, it may very well hold you back in the future. Have you considered finding a teacher at Nuoding Academy?"

By the end, Yu Xiaogang could barely suppress his excitement as he spoke in a low voice.

He wants Xiao Wu to find a teacher. Could Yu Xiaogang be planning to take Xiao Wu as his disciple?

Although Bai Ye had vaguely guessed Yu Xiaogang's purpose by now, he was still startled and could not help thinking.

So Yu Xiaogang had followed them to take him and Xiao Wu as disciples. Could it be that he had helped them earlier for this reason too?
