People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

The perspective once again shifted to Ning Peiya.

Ning Peiya stayed in the office of the Dean of the External Affairs College for two hours. After some research, she finally compiled a list of students that she could recruit.

It was not enough to just compile a list, she also had to contact these students privately and convince them with her personal charm. As for asking the academy to assign them to join her team? Haha, what she wanted was a partner who could fight side by side for the rest of her life, not a one-time deal.

Ning Peiya left the office building and prepared to try her luck at the Tulip Hotel. According to intelligence, Chen Ning would dine at the Tulip Hotel almost every night.

The scene changed, and Ning Peiya walked into the door of the Tulip Hotel, ignoring the waiter's routine greetings, and looked around at the diners in the hall.

Chen Ning's appearance was extremely eye-catching. At just one glance, Ning Peiya found the girl with long blue-green gradient hair from the crowd.

Blue-green gradient? Was this hair color due to his martial spirit, or... was it dyed like this on purpose?

"It should be due to the spirit. With the current hair dyeing technology, I have never heard of any barber shop that can dye hair in this gradient color."

Ning Peiya came directly to Chen Ning and sat down without any hesitation.

At this moment, Ning Peiya realized something was wrong. Just to the left of her and Chen Ning, Huo Yuhao and his team members were eating and drinking.

“Why do I see them everywhere?”

Ning Peiya didn't look at Huo Yuhao and his group for too long. She quickly turned around and looked at the girl with strange hair color in front of her. She slowly said, "Chen Ning... Senior, hello. My name is Ning Peiya. I'm a student in the first grade of class one in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy. I have the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda spirit. You should have heard of me, right?"

Ning Peiya was calling her "senior sister" reluctantly. Apart from anything else, although Chen Ning was a sophomore student, she was several months younger than Ning Peiya.

"Then... Sister Ning, there is no such thing as a visit without a reason. What is the matter with you looking for me?"

Chen Ning picked up the teacup, took a sip of the milk tea in the cup, and looked at Ning Peiya in front of her with a smile.

There are not too many twists and turns in the communication between the younger generation. Compared with tangible benefits, everyone prefers to play with classmates who they like.

Ning Peiya held her chin with both hands, blinked her sparkling big eyes, and said softly, "It's nothing big, I just want to invite you to join my group."

It would have been fine if they hadn't said this, but once they said this... led by Huo Yuhao, Xie Erbi, Tang Wulin, and Xu Baozi hurriedly stood up.

"Ning Peiya, I'm so sorry. Just now, Senior Chen Ning has agreed to join our group."

Huo Yuhao took a step forward and clasped his fists towards Ning Peiya, his pride evident on his face.

“Student Huo Yuhao…are you defending your sovereignty?” Ning Peiya sneered, “According to the rules of Shrek Academy, even the homeroom teacher has no right to decide which group each student joins. Senior Chen Ning hasn’t expressed her opinion yet, so why are you so anxious to step forward? Do you regard Senior Chen Ning as your private property and don’t want her to be out of your control?”

“You…that’s not what I meant!” Huo Yuhao’s back teeth were almost broken.

He finally persuaded Chen Ning to join his team, and was just one step away from success, but then Ning Peiya showed up.

Huo Yuhao said with a bad face: "Ning Peiya, since you also want to recruit Senior Sister Chen Ning, I won't say anything about first come first served. Let's solve the problem in the way of... soul masters. You and I will have a soul battle, and whoever loses will withdraw from the competition... Okay?"

Fighting spirit?

Ning Peiya's face darkened, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Huo Yuhao was a little different.

Ever since she awakened, she always felt that Huo Yuhao’s identity was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. They had the same name and surname, the same martial soul, and a little follower with a blue silver grass martial soul whose name was extremely similar to Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong. Are these all coincidences?

She suspected that the Huo Yuhao in front of her might be the Spirit Ice Douluo who had lived again.

It is impossible to fight with souls. Ning Peiya knows her own strengths and weaknesses. Even though she created some tower fighting techniques, there are only a few moves that are used over and over again. If she uses them too many times, her means of attack will be completely exposed to the world.

Besides... she also didn't want to show off the "divine weapon" that had just become her martial spirit. The man was innocent, but he was guilty of possessing the treasure. Before she became the Ultimate Douluo, no one would know that the divine weapon was in her hand!
Thinking of this, Ning Peiya suddenly raised her head, looked into Huo Yuhao's eyes, and said in a cold tone: "Classmate Huo Yuhao, I don't know if you have heard a saying that the martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, but more about human relationships. I am the little princess of the Yun family, and Senior Sister Chen Ning is the eldest daughter of the Chen family. We both have the same family background. Even if we may be in hostile forces in the future, we can still be a pair of besties in private."

"But what about you? May I ask you, classmate Huo Yuhao, what kind of status do you have to compete with me?"

These words... directly silenced Huo Yuhao.

After three lifetimes as a human being, this was the first time that Huo Yuhao saw someone showing off his status to him.

“So what if I have a unique status?” Huo Yuhao clenched his fists and said unwillingly, “I don’t have a status like Senior Sister Chen Ning right now, but my teacher taught me that if I’m not born a noble, I have to rely on my own hands to become a noble.”

Ning Peiya said with a smile: "You became a noble with your own hands? Wow, Huo Yuhao, I never thought that you are also a person who likes to feed people poisonous chicken soup."

“Don’t think I don’t know what you, Huo Yuhao, are planning. You just want to recruit Senior Sister Chen Ning into your team so you can attack her? As long as you can take down Senior Sister Chen Ning, you will get the support of His Majesty the Vast Sea. This really proves what you said: if you are not born a noble, then you have to become a noble with your own hands.”

As she spoke, Ning Peiya looked at the two giant pandas raised by Chen Ning, then looked at Huo Yuhao's hands, and the expression on her face became more and more excited.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ning, who often played with the corner of the table in the dormitory, felt a chill, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Huo Yuhao was a little different.

Looking at the entire soul master world, how many soul masters have married their classmates who worked hard together in the Soul Master Academy?
There are quite a few, but not too many.

Chen Ning naturally would not believe Ning Peiya's one-sided words, but she read some meaning from Huo Yuhao's expression.

What did Huo Yuhao think of her? A naive girl who could be fooled by a bowl of spicy hot pot? (End of this chapter)
