Douluo Continent: Reincarnation of Huo Linfei, Illusory Lin Nebula

Chapter 53 He who takes a man's money is bound to do his bidding; he who eats another's food is obligated to do his bidding!

"Ahem...we, uh...none of that matters!" Huo Linfei refused to answer the question.

Dodoriya was taken aback.

"Dean, how did you know I was back?" Miao Tiaojun changed the subject.

If Dodoria continues to ask questions, won't the two brothers give themselves away?

"Slim Jun, I remember you were arranged by His Holiness the Pope to go to the Star Dou Great Forest for training with Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, weren't you?"

"Why did you suddenly come back?"

"Where are Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan?"

"Well..." Miao Tiaojun fiddled with his fingers, his eyes slightly darting away, and said:

"Hu Liena said we could come back early, so we returned to Wuhun City."

"They're too slow, so they're still lagging behind."

"Too slow?" Dodoria was somewhat surprised.

Although Hu Lina and the other two had lower soul power than Miao Tiaojun, as battle soul masters, they shouldn't be slower than Miao Tiaojun in terms of speed.

"Judging by the time and distance, the three of them will probably need to run for a whole day before they can get back to Wuhun City," Huo Linfei estimated the time and said.

"Oh, this..."

Dodoriya was somewhat taken aback.

Is there really such a big difference?

Huo Linfei and Miao Tiaojun had already eaten breakfast, but Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan still needed to run around all day?

However, he didn't want to worry about Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan right now.

What he cares about most right now is what Miao Tiaojun just said.

"Miao Tiaojun, from what I'm hearing, you're preparing to leave Martial Soul Academy?"

"Yes." Miao Tiaojun smiled and said, "My current soul power level is high enough to graduate. I have passed all the academy's assessments."

"I was thinking of going out with A-Fei to see the world, and that's why I'm planning to graduate and leave Martial Soul Academy."

Dodoria frowned.

With Miao Tiaojun's talent and ability, the Spirit Hall will definitely cultivate him as a future backbone force.

Becoming a Title Douluo is just around the corner.

It wasn't just him.

Even many elders of the Spirit Hall, including Pope Bibi Dong herself, placed high hopes on Miao Tiaojun.

Hopefully, Slim Guy can become a backbone force of the Spirit Hall in the future.

However, Miao Tiaojun's plan has now dealt them a heavy blow.

"Do you know that if you leave the Martial Soul Academy, you may no longer have your current cultivation speed, resources, and environment?"

"After all, they're not some kind of academy, yet they possess the same resources and training facilities as Martial Soul Academy. They also lack the same level of teaching staff as Martial Soul Academy."

"Actually, it's all fine." Miao Tiao Jun scratched his head and said with a smile, "I mainly just want to go out with A Fei. I'm so tired of staying in one place all the time."

Dodoriya looked at Huo Linfei with a dignified gaze.

Huo Linfei shook his head, completely agreeing. He was utterly oblivious to the look in Dodoria's eyes.

"Slim Jun, I advise you to think twice before you act," Dodoriya said solemnly.

He really couldn't bear to let go of a super genius like Miao Tiaojun.

"Dean, I've thought it through."

I spent six years at the Martial Soul Academy.

Even though he's a total homebody, he's still incredibly cloying.

He had been wanting to go out for a while.

Now that he has met Huo Linfei, this thought is even more irrepressible.

"well……"

Dodoriya sighed.

"Since you have made up your mind, then I will not say anything more."

"Come with me."

"His Holiness the Pope wishes to see you, and also your friend."

"See me?" Miao Tiaojun was taken aback, somewhat reluctant.

"Old Dean, let's talk after we finish eating," Huo Linfei said. "After all, eating is the most important thing!"

After taking a bite of the unknown roasted meat, Huo Linfei couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad."

"Old Dean, are all the chefs at your Martial Soul Academy from five-star hotels?"

"This craftsmanship is really good."

Dodoria, puzzled, asked, "What does 'five-star' mean?"

He understands hotels.

But adding a prefix makes it seem like he doesn't understand.

"It means very powerful."

Huo Linfei explained casually.

"Uh... okay." Dodoriya shook her head helplessly at Huo Linfei's perfunctory expression and said, "The chefs at the academy are all trained by ourselves. Our chefs here also have their own traditions."

"I see." Huo Linfei nodded.

"Old Dean, why don't you sit down and have something to eat?" Huo Linfei noticed that Dodoria was still standing behind Miao Tiaojun, pursed his lips, and said lightly, "You've been standing there the whole time, making us feel embarrassed to eat."

"Yes, yes! Dean, I'm starving!" Miao Tiaojun also looked aggrieved.

He's only eaten a few bites of this huge meal.

"Well……"

Dodoriya's lips twitched slightly.

He's a Contra Master, after all. Can't you give him some face?

However, seeing that the two of them were staring at him with dead fish eyes, he gave an awkward laugh and said, "Do as you please, don't mind me."

After saying that, he sat down quietly to the side and waited.

Miao Tiaojun and Huo Linfei returned to their seats and began a new round of struggle.

"Uncle, two more orders of spicy rabbit heads, please!"

"One serving, extra spicy, but no rabbit head."

"One serving, plus rabbit head, no spicy."

Miao Tiaojun turned around and shouted at the middle-aged chef at the counter.

"Eat it or don't, it's up to you!"

The chef, not one to back down, roared angrily.

He wielded the spatula with great force.

"Why are you being so fierce..."

Miao Tiaojun pursed his lips.

Before long, the entire table of delicious food was devoured.

Dodoria watched all this from the side, her eyes twitching incessantly.

I just invited him to sit down and have something to eat.

After he sat down, he didn't say a word.

"These young people nowadays..." Dodoria shook her head.

……

"Afei, we are now heading to the Papal Palace, the central hub of the Spirit Hall's power."

"President Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall is right there. When you see her later, don't talk nonsense."

"Like I told you before, she doesn't seem very shrewish."

"If you say something she doesn't like to hear, we'll both be in trouble."

Miao Tiaojun explained to Huo Linfei along the way how bad Bibi Dong was.

Huo Linfei nodded thoughtfully.

"Slim Jun, watch your words!"

Dodoriya looked rather unwell.

How much do they look down on him?

Even if you two whisper it to each other, he, the Contra Master, can still hear it, okay?

"Hehehe..." Miao Tiaojun's face showed an awkward yet polite smile.

"Old Dean, you just ate our chicken leg," Huo Linfei said with a malicious smile. "As the saying goes, 'He who takes a bribe is bound to be obliging.' Don't kick me when I'm down!"

"Otherwise, I'll report you to your Pope about accepting bribes from students!"

Dodoria: "..."

How can someone be so shameless?

That was clearly something you forced me to give it to!

Besides, it's just a chicken leg, is that really considered a bribe?
