In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 16.16. Qin Yi Stole the House

When questioned by the cafeteria manager, Wang Dong'er frowned and said coldly, "The three of us are students of the 10002nd class of the Heavenly Class. Please hand us over to our class teacher, Teacher Qin Yi, so that he can handle this matter."

Upon hearing this, the manager hesitated for a moment, but ultimately... chose to follow Wang Dong'er's advice. After examining Huo Yuhao's body and confirming that there were no fatal injuries, he personally led a team to take the three involved in the fight to Qin Yi's office.

As the eldest daughter of the Haotian Sect, Wang Dong'er was no naive or innocent girl. She didn't believe that a mere canteen manager could enforce the law impartially. She didn't want to offend anyone or take responsibility, so she would definitely try to smooth things over. She had no intention of apologizing to Huo Yuhao, that little trash.

……

The scene shifts to an office.

Qin Yi looked at Huo Yuhao, whose face was bruised and swollen, and asked expressionlessly, "Tell me, what exactly did you do to make two girls so angry that they beat you up in front of so many people?"

Huo Yuhao stammered, "Teacher Qin, I was just inviting Xiao Xiao to join our Tang Clan. Who knew she would misunderstand and think I was after her potion formula? So she beat me up."

Qin Yi nodded thoughtfully, then turned his gaze to Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao. "Do you two have anything to say?"

Wang Dong'er pouted and said unhappily, "Teacher Qin, I heard with my own ears that Huo Yuhao was plotting with Tang Ya and Bei Bei in front of the freshman teaching building, trying to lure students with certain special inheritances to join the Tang Sect, and use their abilities to earn funds and fame for the Tang Sect."

Huo Yuhao roared, "Wang Dong'er, don't make false accusations! Our Tang Clan is upright and honest; when have we ever done anything like kidnapping?"

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Some people, I don't know what kind of bewitching potion they've been given, regard the Tang Clan as more important than their own mother. What a loyal and virtuous son they are!" Wang Dong'er said with her arms crossed, annoyed.

Snapped!

Huo Yuhao suddenly stepped forward and slapped Wang Dong'er hard across the face.

"Wang Dong'er, you can insult my character, but you cannot insult my filial piety, and even less can you insult my faith!"

Huo Yuhao's eyes were bloodshot, he was panting heavily, and he was like a mad dog, tearing at Wang Dong'er's position.

Qin Yi acted quickly, blocking Huo Yuhao's path.

"Huo Yuhao, I've already hit you, let's just leave it at that. If you're still not happy, hit me a few more times, consider it my apology on their behalf."

"However, before that, let me give you a piece of advice: Tang Sect is your faith, not anyone else's. Shrek Academy is Shrek Academy, and Tang Sect is Tang Sect. Even if they share the same origin, they cannot be equated. No one is stopping you from recruiting people for Tang Sect at Shrek Academy, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want."

"Hmph!" After hearing Qin Yi's words, Huo Yuhao snorted coldly, then flicked his sleeve and walked out of the office without looking back.

Watching Huo Yuhao's receding figure, a look of confusion flashed across Qin Yi's face. Strange, very strange. He really didn't know what charm the Tang Sect had that could make Huo Yuhao, a god-king, so infatuated that he was even willing to glare at his former lover.

It's not just Huo Yuhao; over 90% of Tang Sect fans feel the same way. They'd rather go without food and drink themselves than fail to promote and glorify the Tang Sect.

Is Tangmen some kind of new addictive drug? Once you get hooked, you're stuck in a quagmire from which you can't get out?

……

After leaving the office, Huo Yuhao, who had gradually calmed down, felt like slapping himself.

He was a bit too impulsive just now. This slap on Wang Dong'er's face will make it difficult for him to win her heart again in the future.

However... Huo Yuhao didn't think he was wrong. The Tang Sect was his faith and also a bridge for him to make friends.

Xuan Ziwen, Ji Juechen, and Jing Ziyan were originally members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Without the Tang Sect, no matter how much they pleaded, the three of them would never have become Huo Yuhao's partners.

Sigh! In the end, we have to put the grand plan of the Tang Clan first. Let's make things difficult for Wang Dong'er for now. At worst, he can find a time when no one is around, take the initiative to apologize, lower his head, and admit his mistake. Wang Dong'er is a reasonable girl, so I don't think she will blame him too much.

Seeing that it was getting late, and the welcome party was about to start in an hour, Huo Yuhao rubbed his now empty stomach and slowly walked towards the cafeteria.

"Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, what do you want to eat tonight? How about hot pot?" Qin Yi glanced in Huo Yuhao's direction, then patted Wang Dong'er's head and said with a smile.

Wang Dong'er pondered, "I'm fine with anything... Teacher Qin, shouldn't we invite Qin Xue and Qin Mengmeng as well?"

Qin Yi shook his head and said with regret, "Those two girls are probably still having fun in the Soul Fighting Zone. They probably won't go even if we call them. The welcome party is about to start, so we need to finish dinner early. I think there's a lucky draw at the welcome party, and if we go too late, the prizes will be gone."

After saying that, Qin Yi took the two girls' hands and hurriedly walked out of the gate of Shrek Academy.

What a joke! Who brings their daughter along to pick up girls?

Huo Yuhao probably never dreamed that, in just a moment of weakness, Qin Yi, a senior figure over two hundred years old, would actually disregard martial ethics and steal his house.

When taking girls out to eat, you absolutely have to choose a high-end environment. The Tulip Hotel under the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School meets this requirement. As one of the former top three sects, the hotel under its name is definitely up to standard, but it is not the most luxurious kind, so it will not arouse the suspicion of the two girls.

In teacher-student relationships, it's best to be discreet in the early stages and nurture the relationship before expressing your feelings.

And so, Qin Yi led the two women into the top-tier private room at the Tulip Hotel.

Looking around the private room, Xiao Xiao frowned and said cautiously, "Teacher Qin, we can just eat something simple. There's no need to go to such a luxurious private room. This is too much of a waste."

Qin Yi waved his hand dismissively and said, "What do you mean by spending money? I'm the deputy sect master of the Body Sect. Every year, that old guy Du Bisi pays me an astronomical salary, not even counting the dividends from other businesses. The money I spend each year is less than a tenth of my salary. There's no need to save me money."

After hearing Qin Yi's words, the two women felt relieved and sat down in their respective seats.
