Huo Yuhao did not linger at Clear Sky Castle. The next day, he brought Wang Qiu'er to the gate of Clear Sky Castle.
Niu Tian and Tai Tan followed behind.
Wang Dong'er has been in a coma ever since she returned from the Soul Platform.
According to Niu Tian's assessment, Wang Dong'er is not seriously injured; her mind is just temporarily clouded, and she should be able to wake up in a few days.
However, since the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was about to start its semester, Huo Yuhao didn't linger any longer.
"Uncles, we'll leave you here. We've troubled you these past few days."
Huo Yuhao turned around and cupped his hands in greeting to Niu Tian and Tai Tan.
Wang Qiu'er nodded politely.
Niu Tian said kindly, "No problem, they're all Dong'er's friends, they can stay as long as they want."
"Yes, you can stay as long as you want. I'm not bad at anything else, but I have a lot of wine to drink," Tai Tan laughed loudly.
Huo Yuhao smiled politely and said, "You two are too kind. We won't bother you any longer. We'll come again when we have the chance."
"Then we won't keep you any longer," Niu Tian.
Then, with Niu Tian and the other person watching, the two slowly ascended into the air and disappeared into the clouds not far away in the blink of an eye.
After a while, two streaks of light burst out of the clouds, and Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er stopped in mid-air.
Not far away, figures in black robes were quietly suspended in the air.
Huo Yuhao gave a wink, and the people in the Shadow Garden in the distance all nodded in unison.
" Qiu'er, go."
Wang Qiu'er glanced at Huo Yuhao with reluctance, her eyes filled with longing, before slowly flying towards the Shadow Garden.
After Wang Qiu'er left with the people from the Shadow Garden, Huo Yuhao identified the direction of the Sun Moon Empire and disappeared into the horizon like lightning.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy
Huo Yuhao returned to his peaceful life. In the days that followed, he spent his days in the newly built Illustrious Virtue Hall, or helping Xuan Ziwen.
Because Jing Hongchen was seriously injured, and Emperor Xu Tianran was busy dealing with the previous rebellion, the daily management of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy actually fell to Xuan Ziwen.
Xuan Ziwen greatly admired Huo Yuhao's talent as Soul Engineer and naturally took extra care of him.
Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan wanted to spar with Huo Yuhao, but Xuan Ziwen dismissed them with a single sentence.
Huo Yuhao was enjoying a rare period of peace and quiet.
Knock knock knock!
Huo Yuhao, who was lying on the table, yawned out of boredom without looking up.
He said lazily, "Register for rare metals yourself, register for missing Soul Tool, um... the check-in counter is on the left, remember to register."
" Huo Yuhao, are you sure you're helping? I've never seen such a leisurely manager." A clear female voice rang out in front of him.
Huo Yuhao looked up and saw that the person who came was Jing Ziyan with a mischievous smile, and Ji Juechen with a stern face was standing next to her.
"To exchange ideas."
He said to Huo Yuhao with a calm expression.
Jing Ziyan also pouted and chimed in, "That's right, that's right, let's have a friendly spar!"
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, let out a cry of "Ouch!" and collapsed onto the table, groaning, "I stayed up all night yesterday, I'm so tired, let's... let's do it another day."
"No? Huo Yuhao, how could you do this!" Jing Ziyan was a little anxious when she saw his shameless behavior and was about to pull him away.
A cough came from behind.
Turning their heads, they saw that Xuan Ziwen had appeared behind them at some point.
Feeling guilty, Jing Ziyan quickly withdrew her hand and awkwardly called out, " Teacher Xuan..."
Xuan Ziwen nodded and said, "A friendly spar? I'm afraid you won't have that opportunity for now."
Ji Juechen frowned and asked, "Why?"
Xuan Ziwen smiled slightly and reached out to pull Huo Yuhao up from the table. "Because today is the end of the Shrek exchange program, Huo Yuhao will be leaving in an hour or two."
Huo Yuhao yawned and stood up. Two years had passed in the blink of an eye. Time flies, and it feels so fast.
He did miss Xiao Xiao a bit, wondering how much she had grown at the Shrek Academy in the past two years, though he could tell from the feedback of ' Xuan Zi's ' clone.
In just two years, Xiao Xiao has reached the level of Six-Ring Soul Emperor. Indeed, talent is something that must be forced out.
"So, you won't have a chance to spar with each other anytime soon," Xuan Ziwen said regretfully.
Ji Juechen was still somewhat unwilling and asked, "Is there really no chance?"
Huo Yuhao didn't answer. Xuan Ziwen looked down and saw that the guy had fallen asleep again.
He reached out and gave Huo Yuhao a sharp rap on the head, feigning anger, and said, "You brat, I told you to do the work, and this is how you do it?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the mountain of registration forms piled up to the side, his lips twitching involuntarily.
Huo Yuhao looked up in confusion, shrugged, and said, "I don't know!"
Xuan Ziwen's lips twitched, and he said helplessly, " Ji Juechen is asking you a question!"
Huo Yuhao stood up, stretched, and said, "Sparring? That's easy to do. Just go to Shrek. Anyway, Brother Ji, you probably prefer cultivating your martial soul to Martial Soul Tool, so Shrek is perfect for you."
" Shrek?..." Ji Juechen paused, then nodded and said, "It seems like a good idea."
Huo Yuhao added, "There are countless people at Shrek stronger than me. I only got this core outer court disciple status because of my teammates. Listen to me, you can challenge any inner court expert you want, and I guarantee you'll benefit greatly."
Ji Juechen's eyes lit up, and he exuded excitement. He said, " Teacher Xuan, is there any way to quickly drop out of school? I'll leave for Shrek today!"
Jing Ziyan tilted her head, pretending to consider it, then exclaimed, "What a great idea! Juechen, you're a genius! Let's do it this way! I'll drop out of school with you, and we'll go to Shrek!"
As Jing Ziyan spoke, she excitedly licked her lips, looking as fierce as a wolf, which made the students who were still registering nearby hide away in fear.
Xuan Ziwen stared wide-eyed at Ji Juechen on his face, then looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief. Finally, realizing what had happened, he angrily shouted at him, " Huo Yuhao! You're about to leave, and you're still trying to poach my talent!"
Huo Yuhao tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle, looking at the ceiling, pretending not to hear.
" Teacher Xuan, I don't know. You asked me to answer this."
Xuan Ziwen was furious, but Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen's talent for Soul Tool was indeed not outstanding, so going to Shrek was not a bad choice.
Just as Xuan Ziwen was still considering whether to go through their withdrawal applications, Huo Yuhao spoke up again, "Actually, Teacher Xuan, if you're willing, it's not impossible for you to go to Shrek. I, Huo Yuhao, can still put in a good word for you."
Xuan Ziwen couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking at Huo Yuhao in front of him, "You little rascal, I never would have guessed, you'd been eyeing me all along."
"Forget it, you can take Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan with you then. The academy can't do without me right now."
Huo Yuhao wasn't disappointed, but he left behind a thought-provoking remark, "In the face of disaster, it's wise to protect yourself. Teacher Xuan, the choice is in your own hands. Some things must be given up."
Huo Yuhao chuckled, turned around, waved, and strode away. " Teacher Xuan, a new world is beckoning you; hurry up and catch up!"
