The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 56 The Drawbacks of the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad Martial Soul

"As a Shrek student, even if you want to inspect my belongings, it should be your Dean of Students and Hall Master who do so personally," Huo Zhanji said righteously.

After a series of interrogations, Huo Zhanji remained as calm as an old dog, and the other party did not notice anything unusual. However, Huo Zhanji was still taken to Lin Jiayi's office.

Huo Zhanji put all his belongings into a storage soul tool and handed them to Lin Jiayi for inspection. When Lin Jiayi took Huo Zhanji's soul tool storage ring, he was surprised to find that there were pots and pans. Then, when he saw the Red Dust Blessing, Lin Jiayi immediately felt that there was definitely something wrong with Huo Zhanji.

"Huo Zhanji, you need to properly explain this level-nine soul tool made by the hall master." Lin Jiayi's expression was somewhat unpleasant.

"That's natural, so we'd better go and explain things to the hall master." Huo Zhanji showed no sign of panic.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you to come with us. However, to prevent you from running away, you must wear this first." Lin Jiayi took a deep breath and took out a bracelet.

"Isn't that a bit impolite? I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I run away? Let's go." Huo Zhanji said calmly.

After Huo Zhanji and Lin Jiayi arrived at Jing Hongchen's office, Huo Zhanji calmly looked at Jing Hongchen.

"What's going on?"

Jing Hongchen looked at Huo Zhanji, who had been brought by Lin Jiayi, with a somewhat blank expression. The reconstruction of Mingde Hall had already given him a lot of trouble, and now that he saw Huo Zhanji, he instinctively felt that something was wrong. When Lin Jiayi took out the Hongchen Blessing that he had left behind as a ticket, his face instantly darkened.

"Master, when we examined Huo Zhanji, we found that his storage ring contained a soul tool made by you. Therefore, we suspect..." Lin Jia couldn't figure out what Jing Hongchen was thinking at this moment.

"I would still appreciate it if the Hall Master could come out and explain," Huo Zhanji said, looking at Jing Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen suppressed his anger and slowly said, "This level nine soul tool, Hongchen Blessing, was a gift I gave to Senior Mu when I visited Shrek Academy."

"This, this, Master, I..." Upon hearing this, Lin Jiayi immediately began to stammer.

"You can go now. Huo Zhanji and I have something to discuss," Jing Hongchen said.

"Yes," Lin Jiayi said with a sigh of relief and immediately left Jing Hongchen's office.

"Master Hongchen, is there something you need from me?" Huo Zhanji asked, looking at Jing Hongchen with a puzzled expression.

After a moment of contemplation, Jing Hongchen asked, "Huo Zhanji, do you still remember Meng Hongchen?"

"A Soul Master with the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad Martial Soul, and quite pretty at that, what's wrong?" Huo Zhan asked quickly.

"I'd like to ask you for a favor; the reward is negotiable," Jing Hongchen said.

"Help? What can a mere Soul King like me do?" Huo Zhan asked hastily.

"You should be familiar with the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad martial soul, right?"

"Naturally, the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad, as a soul beast, lives in the far north and is known as a soul beast living in the cracks. Moreover, this kind of soul beast cultivates both ice and poison, but the downside is that it is not at its peak in either. As a soul beast, this is not a problem, but as a martial soul, the toxins will continuously accumulate in the soul master's body. In the early stages, it is not a big problem, but in the later stages of cultivation, the soul master may not be able to suppress it, unless he reaches the ultimate ice or abolishes his cultivation." Huo Zhanji spoke fluently.

"You're right. The reason Meng Hongchen didn't go to Shrek Academy for the exchange was because of the poison backlash. Meng Hongchen is my granddaughter, and I can't let anything happen to her. Currently, only your Extreme Ice can help her. The reward is negotiable." Jing Hongchen said, resting her right hand on her forehead.

"You can give it a try. You can decide on the reward. If it really doesn't work out, you can give me your granddaughter." Huo Zhanji said to Jing Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen's eye twitched slightly. "I need your help, and you're actually eyeing my granddaughter? Damn it, have you gotten too cocky, Huo Zhanji, or am I, Jing Hongchen, too weak to wield a sword?" However, he obviously couldn't lash out. He coughed and said, "My granddaughter's affairs are not my decision. So, tell me, will you help me or not?"

"Why not help? When?" Huo Zhanji asked.

Jing Hongchen looked at Huo Zhanji with a feeling of both laughter and tears, but he had to admit that the young man was outstanding and seemed like a good choice as his grandson-in-law.

"I'll call you when the time comes," Jing Hongchen said, handing the Red Dust Blessing back to Huo Zhanji.

"Don't worry, leave Xiaomeng's matter to me. There's no need for payment. After all, we might be family soon," Huo Zhanji said.

Jing Hongchen nearly kicked Huo Zhanji away, laughing and cursing, "Get lost!"

Huo Zhanji laughed and walked out. When he got back to his dormitory, he practically collapsed onto his bed, saying, "I'm so sleepy!"

"Bang, bang, bang." The knocking sounded on the door.

Huo Zhanji stretched his body on the bed and went to open the door. Fan Yu and He Caitou were outside. Seeing that Huo Zhanji was alright, both of them looked relieved. They quickly went into the room, and He Caitou closed the door.

"Junior brother, you almost worried me and our teacher to death! I heard from other people in our academy that the situation that day was extremely dangerous. Luckily, you're alright."

Huo Zhan scratched his head and said, "That day was really dangerous." He then briefly recounted what he had seen and heard that day.

After chatting for a while, He Caitou and Fan Yu left one after the other. Huo Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief and turned to rest; the mental energy consumption was enormous…
