After Qian Chen finally made up his mind to speed things up and eliminate Zhou Yi first. He needed to control Class One first, otherwise Huo Yuhao's classmates and teachers would both be Tang San Tang San's people.
Qian Chen knew that to kill Zhou Yi, someone had to be at the forefront, and he himself absolutely could not be at the forefront. He passed the image of Mu Jin to the Golden-Feathered Scarlet Eagle and sent it out to find someone.
After spending a long and tender time with Zhang Lexuan, Qian Chen finally prepared to leave. " Lexuan, cultivate diligently. See you tomorrow."
"Yes, I know. See you tomorrow."
Qian Chen, riding the Seven Kill Sword, flew towards the Outer Court. Zhang Lexuan watched his departing figure, her heart filled with disappointment. Five years ago, she and Qian Chen reached level eighty at the same time, which was also the first time they met. Now, Qian Chen was already Titled Douluo, while she was still struggling at the Soul Douluo. She believed that Qian Chen would not abandon her, but the thought that she could not help him at all filled her with a strong sense of resentment.
"I need to cultivate, I need to become stronger. I can't just be a pretty flower beside Qian Chen." Zhang Lexuan murmured to herself, turned around and went back, focusing all her attention on cultivation.
Qian Chen moved with incredible speed, arriving at the faculty dormitory building of the Outer Court in a short while. He transmitted his voice to Mu Jin upstairs, " Teacher Mu Jin, may I come downstairs for a chat?"
Hearing someone call her, Mu Jin hurriedly leaned out of the window and immediately saw Qian Chen, a handsome man with blond hair and golden eyes. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed downstairs.
" Director Qian... it's been a long time. How have you been?" Mu Jin's cheeks were flushed. Qian Chen saw through her thoughts clearly, but since he had chosen Zhang Lexuan, he wouldn't stray. Besides, Mu Jin was still far from meeting his standards for a partner.
"Thank goodness, Teacher Mu Jin. I just wanted to ask if the students in Class 1 of Grade 4 who I discovered last time had injured their bodies due to excessive training have recovered?"
Qian Chen didn't mention Zhou Yi at all, but every word he spoke was directed at her. Mu Jin suppressed her joy at seeing Qian Chen Zhou Yi and said seriously, " Director Qian, the students have all done their self-examinations, and many of them have indeed injured their bodies, affecting their potential. Now the students aren't paying attention in class; they're gathering in groups of three or five, discussing either how to demand an explanation from the academy or how to take revenge on Zhou Yi."
"Alright. Tomorrow, you will take the students of Class 1, Grade 4 to the dean's office and find Dean Yan or Dean Cai. I will uphold justice for you then."
"Okay, okay, Director Qian!" Mu Jin blushed and looked at Qian Chen, then mustered her courage to ask, " Director Qian, have you eaten? Thank you for upholding justice for our class. I'd like to treat you to a meal on behalf of the students."
"No need. I've been in seclusion for a month, and it only just ended today. I still have many people to meet. Let's hold a proper celebration banquet after I've sought justice for the students."
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say, Director Qian."
Qian Chen stopped talking to Mu Jin and soon arrived at the dormitory building of the Outer Court. He sensed that Huo Yuhao had not yet returned. He released his Golden-Feathered Scarlet Eagle to check again and found that Qian Guyi, Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were forming a small group and walking towards the dormitory. Since they would be back soon, Qian Chen waited for them downstairs.
He looked around and immediately spotted the lounge chair where Mu En usually sunbathed. Qian Chen didn't care whether Mu En would be angry or not, and simply lay down on it.
Soon, the four of them finally arrived at the dormitory building. Qian Guyi immediately spotted Qian Chen on the recliner, and overjoyed, she ran to him in a few Qian Chen: "Uncle, you're finally back!"
Huo Yuhao and Jiang Nannan were also very happy and ran over quickly. "Teacher!" " Director Qian!" they shouted in unison.
"No need for formalities. I just came out of seclusion today and came to see how your cultivation is going, you little ones," Qian Chen said with a smile.
"Teacher, let me introduce you. This is my good friend and roommate, Wang Dong!" Huo Yuhao said excitedly, pulling Wang Dong in front of Qian Chen.
Wang Dong was pulled in front of Qian Chen by Huo Yuhao and said somewhat nervously, " Director Qian, hello, I'm Huo Yuhao's roommate." In his heart, however, he kept thinking: Good heavens, why did Huo Yuhao choose such a young person as his teacher? Is he reliable?
Qian Chen had already activated his Eye of the Mind, seeing through Wang Dong's ulterior motives perfectly. Before he could even figure out how to deal with this girl, she was already doubting his own strength. However, Qian Chen simply smiled and said to her, "Hello, Wang Dong. I am Huo Yuhao's teacher and the Dean of the Martial Soul Department at the Shrek Academy."
After some casual conversation, Qian Chen turned to Wang Dong and asked, " Wang Dong, I heard that you and my disciple Huo Yuhao achieved Martial Soul Fusion, is that true? How did you two manage to do that?"
Huo Yuhao stepped forward, wanting to recount what happened that night. Qian Chen immediately raised his hand to stop him, saying, " Yuhao, your teacher is also a faculty member at the Shrek Academy and is very interested in the creation and application of Martial Soul Fusion Skill, wanting to understand every detail. I'll ask Wang Dong first, and then I'll ask you later when I have the chance."
Wang Dong thought for a moment and said, " Director Qian, actually I don't know what exactly happened that day. After Yuhao and I returned to the dormitory and started cultivating, I felt like I was sick. I was dizzy and lightheaded, so I lay down to rest. Then I felt cold all over, as cold as ice. Later, Yuhao said he was afraid I would freeze to death, so he sent his Soul Power into my body, and our Soul Power merged."
Qian Chen used her Eye of the Mind to observe Wang Dong's emotional changes throughout the entire process, and finally discovered that Wang Dong was not lying; it was all true. She had completed the Martial Soul Fusion with Huo Yuhao completely unconsciously.
Qian Chen pondered for a moment, then asked again, " Wang Dong, since you and my disciple Huo Yuhao have achieved Martial Soul Fusion, out of concern for my disciple and for my plans for his future, I need to understand your Martial Soul. Is that alright?"
Before Wang Dong could answer, and before anyone else could react, Qian Chen said directly to Qian Guyi, Jiang Nannan, and Huo Yuhao, "You guys go back to your dorms first." Then, looking at Wang Dong, he added, " Wang Dong, there are so many people coming and going here. There's a pavilion over there; let's talk there."
Ever since meeting Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong had been influenced by Tang San's instilled belief in her to be gentle and kind to Huo Yuhao Huo Yuhao. Under this influence, she also subconsciously began to respect Huo Yuhao's teacher, Qian Chen. She could only nod and say, "Alright, Director Qian." Then, turning to Huo Yuhao, she said, " Yuhao, you should go back to your dormitory first."
Qian Chen understood that the Martial Soul Fusion Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao's martial souls must have been Tang San's doing. He must have wanted to create a deep bond between Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao. But what kind of bond could two children have? Apart from being husband and wife or close relatives, it was hard to imagine any other possibility. Martial Soul Fusion Skill like those of Yue Guan and Gui Mei from ten thousand years ago were extremely rare, and besides, Qian Chen didn't believe that Yue Guan and Gui Mei were truly innocent.
Huo Yuhao looked at Qian Chen, then at Wang Dong, and Qian Chen saw all the reluctance in his eyes.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression, Qian Chen's killing intent towards Wang Dong surged instantly. However, he concealed it well, simply smiling and saying to Huo Yuhao, " Yuhao, the question the teacher is about to ask might involve private matters, so it's best if you don't listen."
Then he looked at Wang Dong, his tone gentle but firm. "Let's go, Wang Dong, let's talk in that pavilion over there."
