Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 106 Sail and Feathers: Goodbye Shrek (Two-in-One)

As soon as Du Weiren finished speaking, the eight people around him all looked astonished and couldn't help but exclaim.

The reserve team members looked at each other and quickly realized the crux of the problem: Dean Xian had left Shrek Academy, so where was Huo Yuhao, who had been taken away?

Wang Yan's doubts were finally answered. No wonder! No wonder!
No wonder Xian Lin'er was indifferent when he apologized to her before, and no wonder she made no attempt to conceal the limitations of Shrek Academy's Level 5 Fixed-Position Soul Guidance Cannon.

So it turns out she withdrew from Shrek Academy. That explains everything. If that's the case, then Xian Lin'er came to Star Luo City specifically to see Huo Yuhao.

Xian Lin'er has already left Shrek Academy, so she must be looking for Huo Yuhao for something else. However, given Xian Lin'er's current strength, Huo Yuhao is not capable of providing any assistance in any matter.

Therefore, the answer is obvious: Xian Lin'er will either hold Huo Yuhao hostage and do something detrimental to Shrek Academy, or she will take Huo Yuhao with her and leave.

Wang Yan thought the former was unlikely; he was more inclined to believe the latter. Judging from Huo Yuhao's performance at the final auction, he must have known about Xian Lin'er's withdrawal from Shrek Academy long ago.

When Xian Lin'er arrived in Xingluo City, even if she wanted to take Huo Yuhao with her, she absolutely couldn't leave without Huo Yuhao's consent, since Elder Xuan was still in Xingluo City at the time.

So, Huo Yuhao actually knew all of this; he and Xian Lin'er had conspired together long ago! But wasn't Huo Yuhao Fan Yu's disciple? What exactly were they planning to do?
Wang Yan became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it, his mind filled with a mix of emotions. His premonition had come true; connecting Xian Lin'er's strange behavior with Huo Yuhao was truly terrifying to contemplate.

Among the eight people, not only Wang Yan, but also He Caitou thought of this. He knew more than Wang Yan and could deduce more.

He immediately realized that the two letters Huo Yuhao had given him before leaving were the answer to the whole story. He was certain that the answer to everything could be found in the letters.

"Director Du, do you know why Dean Xian left Shrek Academy?" Bei Bei asked in a deep voice, breaking the silence first.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong, who had been in a daze, instantly snapped out of it. His mind was in complete chaos, and he was at a loss for what to do, so he could only focus his gaze on Du Weilin.

"I don't know either," Du Weiren replied, a hint of unease flashing across his face.

Why? The dean of the Martial Soul Department was too greedy, and the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, Xian Lin'er, left in disappointment. How could Du Weilun possibly reveal such a scandal?

Beibei frowned. Of course, he didn't believe it. He grew up in Shrek Academy and was very familiar with its internal structure. Given Du Weiren's status, it was impossible for him to be completely unaware of such a big event as Xianlin'er's departure.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Everyone has traveled for so long, let's all go back to the academy and rest." Wang Yan spoke up to smooth things over, and everyone, with varying expressions, entered the academy and headed towards the dormitory building.

Du Weiren's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot several times. He had to report the news that Huo Yuhao had been taken away by Xian Lin'er, who had already left Shrek Academy, to Yan Shaozhe as soon as possible.

After entering the Soul Guidance Area, He Caitou ran straight to Fan Yu's office. He remembered Huo Yuhao's instructions when he left and just wanted to give the letter to his teacher as soon as possible.

Fan Yu sat at his desk, his brows furrowed with worry. He was deeply troubled about whether or not to accept the position of Dean of the Soul Guidance Department. Qian Duoduo had given him an ultimatum yesterday, demanding that he give an answer within two days.

It's been a week already, and Fan Yu really should give a definite answer by now. However, even after a week of deliberation, Fan Yu is still undecided about whether to take over the position of dean.

He wasn't someone who pursued power. Otherwise, with his status as an eighth-level Soul Master, developing his career in the royal family would have been far better than staying at Shrek Academy. What he wanted was to pioneer a new path for Soul Masters.

To put it bluntly, what he wanted was to achieve something in the field of Soul Master, that is, Soul Guidance Devices. The reason he came to Shrek Academy was largely due to Xian Lin'er, the number one Soul Master in Douluo Continent.

In the Douluo Continent, there are no level nine soul masters. If you want to advance, you have to figure it out on your own. Under these circumstances, these level eight soul masters can explore and learn together, which undoubtedly increases their success rate.

Now that Xianlin'er has left Shrek Academy, and Fanyu continues to stay at Shrek Academy, it is of almost no help to his growth on the path of a Soul Master.

Moreover, as Shrek Academy's only level eight Soul Master, after becoming the Dean, he will also focus his efforts on developing the Soul Guidance Department, further shortening the time he spends researching Soul Guidance Devices.

Most importantly, everyone knows the status of the Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy, and Fan Yu has never really cared about it, mainly for two reasons.

Firstly, he doesn't need to argue with the Martial Soul Department or waste time worrying about it. He rarely interacts with Shrek Academy teachers or higher-ups.

Secondly, what does the hindered development of the Soul Guidance Department have to do with him? He came to Shrek Academy specifically for Xian Lin'er, aiming to become a stronger Soul Guidance Master. As long as Xian Lin'er is still around, having someone of equal ability to communicate with is enough for him.

However, given the current situation at Shrek Academy, and considering Fan Yu's original intentions, there is no reason for him to continue staying here. The mess that is the Soul Guidance Department is a hot potato for him.

In the entire Shrek Academy, there are only three people he cares about: his lover and disciple, Zhou Yi, Huo Yuhao, and He Caitou, who are also the ones he is currently worried about.

His wife and beloved student both seemed to like Shrek Academy. He was no longer alone and couldn't only think of himself. This was the reason for his hesitation.

If all three of them wanted to stay at Shrek Academy, Fan Yu would certainly not leave, but he really didn't want to be the dean of the Soul Guidance Department.

However, as the only level eight soul master in Shrek Academy, as long as Fan Yu stays, the position of dean of the soul guidance department cannot be given to anyone else. The academy's higher-ups will definitely try every means to make him the successor dean.

"Fine, I'll wait for Yuhao and Caitou to come back and ask for their opinions," Fan Yu thought helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

Although he told Zhou Yi that the academy hoped he would become the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, he did not mention his desire to leave Shrek Academy.

Just then, the office door was pushed open with a loud "bang".

Fan Yu frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing across her face. Just as she was about to reprimand him, she saw He Caitou's anxious expression, and her face lit up with joy. She swallowed her words of reprimand.

He knew that Shrek Academy had been eliminated in the round-robin tournament, and he could only describe it with two words: absurd.

He couldn't figure out why he wouldn't send reinforcements, let the reserve team fight as the main force, and then hope that a miracle would happen to these kids.

If we don't send reinforcements to let the reserve team participate, we can treat it as a training opportunity for them. Fan Yu thinks that's fine. However, not sending reinforcements and expecting the reserve team to create a miracle is simply not something a human could think of.

"Caitou, you're back?"

"Teacher, something happened!"

The two spoke at the same time. Fan Yu glanced around but didn't see Huo Yuhao. Remembering He Caitou's anxious expression, she wondered if something had happened to Yuhao during the competition. Her face immediately darkened, and she said urgently:
"Caitou, what's wrong? Where's Yuhao?" "Teacher, Yuhao was taken away by Dean Xian." Caitou hadn't yet adjusted to the fact that Xian Lin'er had left the academy, and for a moment he even forgot to change his form of address.

"When you came back?" Fan Yu's eyes widened, her heart filled with disbelief.

"No, no, teacher, please listen to me." Seeing Fan Yu's expression, He Caitou realized that his teacher had misunderstood, and quickly explained everything.

From Xian Lin'er's sudden appearance at the Star Luo Royal Hotel to accompany them to the auction, to the two letters Huo Yuhao gave him before leaving, He Caitou told everything in detail.

"Where's the letter?" Fan Yu calmed down and sensed something fishy from He Caitou's words. Everything was too coincidental. It seemed that Xian Lin'er and Huo Yuhao had planned this in advance.

He Caitou took out two letters, one red and one white, from his storage soul tool. Following Huo Yuhao's instructions, he handed the red letter to Fan Yu, and then opened his own white letter.

The two looked at the contents of the letter with shock, their hearts filled with a turbulent mix of emotions.

Dear Teacher:

Teacher, by the time you read this letter, your senior brothers should all be back, and Dean Xian and I should have entered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Shrek Academy has always held a disdainful attitude towards soul tools. Dean Xian is committed to changing this situation and is determined to develop soul tools that belong to the Douluo Continent, but the resistance he encounters is getting bigger and bigger.

During my time studying in the Soul Guidance Department, I deeply felt their narrow-mindedness. The future of soul tools is limitless, and the teachers certainly know this better than I do.

Whether it's Yan Shaozhe from the Martial Soul system or the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, they all look down on soul tools. Dean Xian's efforts over the years are like a joke. In that case, what's the point of leaving behind anything?
Dean Xian's decision to leave was actually my suggestion to him. I had advised Dean Xian before my senior brother and I left.

Shrek Academy has always regarded the Sun Moon Empire as an outcast and has consistently rejected them. However, the strength of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools is undeniable.

The Douluo Three Kingdoms knew that they were all trying their best to catch up with the Sun Moon Empire in terms of soul tools, but Shrek Academy kept sticking to its old ways and remained stuck in the idea that martial souls were the most important thing.

Teacher, you should know that the accident that happened to the main team this time was caused by Master Xuan's negligence. But if each of them had an invincible shield, would they still be in such a miserable state?
Teacher, you personally guided me onto the path of Soul Tools, and you also showed me its power. I will always remember your expectations and disappointments when you mentioned the Level 9 Soul Tools.

I am very grateful to my teacher for taking care of me during this time. Although I have left, I will always be your student and your disciple.

There are two reasons for writing this letter. The first is the content you are currently seeing, and the second is about you, teacher.

I hope that you, teacher, can also come to the Sun Moon Empire, bringing Teacher Zhou and my senior brother with you, so that we can pursue becoming even more powerful Soul Masters together.

……

By the way, you shouldn't read my senior's letter, teacher. It involves some things he doesn't want to talk about.

After reading the entire letter, Fan Yu felt a surge of joy. Yu Hao's thoughts coincided with his own, and he also knew that staying here would not help him make any progress.

Now that Huo Yuhao has brought up the matter of leaving, it aligns with his own thoughts. The only thing that puzzles Fan Yu is what Huo Yuhao said at the end.

Cai Tou was someone he had taken in and raised from a young age. The things he didn't want to talk about were, frankly, painful memories. He believed that Cai Tou couldn't possibly have had any painful memories over the years.

So this must have happened in the past, before he took Cai Tou as his apprentice.

Fan Yu turned her gaze to He Caitou, whose expression was equally shocked, but with a hint of struggle in his shock. Fan Yu understood that the content written to Caitou was probably similar to what she had written to herself.

He Caitou looked at the letter in his hand. The contents were few, but could be summarized in one sentence: He hoped that he could persuade Fan Yu to go to the Sun Moon Empire to develop together.

After reading the contents, He Caitou slowly looked up and met Fan Yu's probing gaze. He took a small step back and subconsciously increased the pressure on the letter, his fingertips turning slightly white from the excessive force.

He Caitou thought Fan Yu wanted to read the letter Huo Yuhao had written to him, and he couldn't help but hesitate because the letter mentioned his background, which he didn't want to reveal.

Fan Yu noticed He Caitou's subtle actions and felt a little uneasy. He realized that he hadn't paid enough attention to Caitou's life and hadn't noticed the scars in his disciple's heart.

"Caitou, what did Yuhao say to you?" Fanyu asked softly. Caitou hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and handed the letter to Fanyu.

"No need to show it to me. Since Yuhao did this, he must have his reasons and considerations." Fan Yu smiled gently and did not take the letter that He Caitou handed over.

He Caitou was deeply moved upon hearing this and said in a low voice, "It's alright, teacher, you should still take a look."

Since things had come to this point, Fan Yu didn't refuse anymore. He also wanted to know what kind of sad thing his disciple had. If it was caused by someone, he promised to send that person to their death immediately.

"Senior Brother He, by the time you see this letter, you must already know that Dean Xian has left Shrek Academy. What I told you before, that Dean Xian had something to do and left, was actually a lie."

Dean Xian and I actually went to the Sun Moon Empire. We planned to join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to learn about soul tools.

I don't know how you view Shrek Academy, but I don't like this place. In my opinion, it's not only a place where profit comes first, but also a place that tries to brainwash its students.

Senior brother should know why I said that, which is why I chose to leave Shrek Academy and go to the Sun Moon Empire with Dean Xian.

Senior brother, I hope you and our teacher can come to the Sun Moon Empire together. It would be good for both of you.

The teacher had always wanted to become a level nine Soul Master, but given the conservative and stubborn mindset at Shrek Academy, the teacher's chances of success were extremely slim.

As for you, senior brother, I know you want to take revenge on the Sun Moon Royal Family. Revenge requires strength, and with your martial soul, the only path you can take is to become a Soul Master. Staying at Shrek Academy will not provide you with good and comprehensive training.

The Sun and Moon Empire stands at the forefront of soul tool technology. Only by coming here can you achieve the best development and greater strength.
