Xiao Hongchen's complexion darkened, and he said unhappily, "Why don't you go by yourself?"
"If you leave the team, you have to report to Mr. Ma, which is very troublesome. Anyway, you have contradicted Mr. Ma many times, he is used to it. You can just run out and run back, which is very fast."
Meng Hongchen waved his hand casually, as if he was very sure that his brother would definitely help him with this small favor.
Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but choke, his face darkening a bit, but he still took a long step forward, leaving the group and walking forward. However, he still muttered, "I'm just curious myself, not just for you."
The strong taste of arrogance made Meng Hongchen couldn't help but chuckle.
Under Mr. Ma's murderous gaze, Xiao Hongchen quickly completed the task and returned to the team.
But when he came back, the expression on his face was uncontrollably weird.
Meng Hongchen showed a bit of surprise, "Brother, what's with that expression? It's like you've eaten a fly."
"Get lost." Xiao Hongchen's mouth twitched. After hesitating for a moment, he said in a very strange tone, "The teams ahead are all discussing Shrek Academy matters."
"Shrek Academy?"
Hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, everyone in the Sun and Moon team, except Meng Hongchen, also pricked up their ears subconsciously.
As the perennial runner-up, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy's dream is to defeat Shrek Academy fairly in the Soul Master Competition.
Now that they heard that what happened before was related to Shrek Academy, they naturally had to pay attention. Who knows, this might be the key to their defeat of Shrek Academy this time.
For this reason, Ma Lao, who was standing at the front of the team, coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Hongchen, stop hiding it and tell me quickly. If you tell me, I won't hold you accountable for leaving the team without permission just now."
Xiao Hongchen glanced at his teammates around him, was silent for a moment, and finally squeezed out a sentence after a while.
"Are you sure you want to listen?"
Meng Hongchen curled his lips indifferently, "Is this more terrifying than the last time you secretly stole some of Grandpa's rare metal inventory?"
As if they had heard some incredible secret inadvertently, the other members of the Sun and Moon team all looked at each other intently, as if they had not heard anything.
As the chief of Mingde Hall, Mr. Ma naturally knew what Meng Hongchen was talking about.
That time, Master Jingtang almost pulled out the copper-headed leather belt tied on his pants and whipped Xiao Hongchen so that he spun like a top.
Xiao Hongchen's face flushed crimson, and he stiffened his neck and retorted, "How can that be called stealing? How can a soul guide's business be considered stealing? That's called borrowing!"
Meng Hongchen chuckled, "Then let me ask on Grandpa's behalf, when do you plan to return those pieces of Star-Moon Alloy, Purple Gold Copper, and Meteorite Iron? The amount you took last time was probably close to tens of millions of Gold Soul Coins."
Tens of millions of gold soul coins naturally wouldn't make Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, feel anything, but those rare metals were all precious materials that could be used to make the core formation of a ninth-level soul guide, and they were all rare metals that were strictly controlled.
Tens of millions of gold soul coins are just the market price. In fact, those rare metals are simply not in demand.
These were all saved bit by bit by Jing Hongchen, but in the end, they were all wasted by his precious grandson.
Xiao Hongchen's expression also froze, and he began to speak harshly.
Things like "Grandpa's future will be mine sooner or later" and "When I become a ninth-level soul engineer, these will be a piece of cake" came out of his mouth, making Meng Hongchen laugh out loud.
Looking at his always arrogant brother, now in such a poor state trapped by money, Meng Hongchen felt that the boring mood of queuing had improved a lot.
Xiao Hongchen, who had gradually regained his composure, snorted coldly and began to speak, "The teams ahead were discussing that Shrek Academy's continued championship success stems from a secret formula for victory."
"The winning formula?"
Everyone in the Sun and Moon team was piqued by Xiao Hongchen's words.
Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen's face showed a strange expression. After a moment's thought, he slowly spoke, "It is said that Shrek Academy has been able to maintain its championship position because in their inner courtyard, they reward outstanding female students by secretly capturing a beautiful young man to vent their anger..."
"absurd!"
Before Xiao Hongchen could finish his words, Mr. Ma showed shock and anger on his face.
What do you think of Shrek Academy?
If Shrek Academy was in this state, wouldn't their long-cherished wish of defeating Shrek Academy, which had lasted for dozens of generations, become a huge joke?
Meng Hongchen obviously grasped the key point, and his eyes lit up.
"Brother, you said there was a beautiful boy. How good-looking is he? Now if I run to the front, can I still see him?"
Xiao Hongchen's face froze. How could he have forgotten that Meng was an ultimate face-obsessed person?
He couldn't help but curl his lips and said coldly: "It's just a matter of following the crowd. Besides, who can be more handsome than your brother?"
Wait until the discussion in the front team gradually spreads to the back.
Listening to the people around me talking seriously as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
"Everything has been professionally certified by the Angel Clan. Shrek Academy must have passed down the secret room training method obtained from the Spirit Hall." "The Shrek female students are exploiting the delicate and beautiful boys inherited from their ancestors. This is simply a heinous crime." and other remarks are rampant.
Mr. Ma couldn't help but wonder in his heart:
"No wonder Shrek Academy has been performing increasingly well in the Soul Master Competition over the past few decades, and the team is always dominated by women. I'm afraid they've discovered some unique training method. But what exactly is this secret room?"
Obviously, Mr. Ma did not believe that the so-called secret room was the ridiculous thing that those people talked about.
Meng Hongchen also realized it belatedly and asked, "Brother, what is the secret room? Is it a mimic training ground?"
"Don't ask around, kid."
For the sake of his sister's ideological purity, Xiao Hongchen decisively stopped her curiosity.
"hehe."
Meng Hongchen suddenly became angry. The more her brother tried to stop her, the more curious she became.
Anyway, their Sun Moon Team and Shrek Academy are on the same floor of the hotel, so why not just go and take a look secretly? Who knows, maybe I can also try to see the beautiful boy in the secret room.
Huo Yuhao, who was sandwiched between Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen on either side and was almost dragged into the Xinghuang Hotel, was obviously unaware of how huge a rumor was left behind after their Shrek Academy team left the registration point. The rumor had even begun to spread outside the registration point.
Chapter 145: One Day as a Teacher
Star King Hotel.
As a place specially set aside by the Xingluo royal family to receive high-level soul masters or soul instructor academies from various countries, its interior decoration is naturally extremely magnificent.
On the ceiling, the crystal chandelier reflects brilliant light, the marble tiles on the floor are as smooth as a mirror, and the walls are hung with paintings from famous artists. Every detail shows the royal style.
When Huo Yuhao was carefully supported by Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen on each side and helped into the hotel lobby, he could see Zhang Lexuan in the lounge area of the lobby, talking with Xian Lin'er, who was dressed in casual clothes but still looked extraordinary.
Xian Lin'er, who was originally smiling, had her smile completely frozen the moment she saw Huo Yuhao's appearance.
The young man in front of me no longer has any of his former gentle demeanor.
The pair of eyes that always held a gentle smile were now empty and lifeless, as if they had lost their focus. There was not a trace of blood in his lips, and his whole body was shaky. If he had not been supported by the girls on both sides, he would have fallen down at any time.
It was as if someone had been locked up in a dark room, tortured day and night for a long time, and had just been rescued and seen the light of day again. The whole person exuded a sense of brokenness and fragility.
Damn it, how could that bastard Yan Shaozhe confidently say at the Sea God Pavilion meeting that Huo Yuhao was fine?
This is fucking nothing?
Did Yan Shaozhe's eyes grow on his butt?
Before I left the academy, I should have taken my Qingyan Dragon Spear and stabbed this thing to death!
"Yuhao, are you... okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xian Lin'er almost instantly bypassed Zhang Lexuan and quickly came to Huo Yuhao, her blue eyes filled with anxiety and concern.
Huo Yuhao habitually tried to force a gentle smile to tell Xian Lin'er not to worry.
But he saw that Xian Lin'er, who was usually a little taller than him, was half a head shorter than him when she stood in front of him. He subconsciously glanced at the shoes on her feet before speaking weakly.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Xian Lin'er felt even more distressed when she heard his weak voice, and let out a dissatisfied groan.
"Teacher, if I hadn't come, how would I have known that you've become like this? That bastard Yan Shaozhe, it turns out he only has a few words of truth in his mouth."
Hearing Xian Lin'er scolding her teacher so bluntly, Ma Xiaotao, who was standing next to Huo Yuhao, looked embarrassed and did not dare to refute her.
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips and said gently, "Teacher, I'm fine now. I'm just a little dizzy. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"What, a headache? That's not serious!"
Xian Lin'er's eyes suddenly widened, and she became like an old hen protecting her calves.
He hurriedly set out from the academy and it took him half a day to reach Xingluo City. He then waited anxiously in the Xinghuang Hotel for several days, but now Huo Yuhao still looked so haggard.
Wasn't he even more seriously ill a few days ago?
"Okay, I'll take care of Yuhao myself for the rest of the time. You youngsters probably don't know how to take care of people at all."
Xian Lin'er pulled Huo Yuhao away from Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen without saying anything and walked directly towards the hotel's soul guide elevator, intending to settle him down first and then take good care of her beloved disciple.
Watching Huo Yuhao being snatched away by Xian Lin'er, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen both stood there with strange expressions on their faces.
After a long while, Ling Luochen finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I thought you were going to quarrel with Dean Xian just now."
Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes at her in annoyance. "Do you really think I'm stupid? After all, she's Yuhao's teacher. Why should I argue with her? As her older sister, why don't you act more assertive?"
"Once a teacher, always a father." Ling Luochen curled his lips and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "In a sense, Dean Xian is like a mother to Yuhao. So as Yuhao's sister, Dean Xian will be my mother in the future."
It seemed like the first time she saw Ling Luochen being so shameless, and Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"You're climbing the ladder too quickly. Are you still the same sullen-faced ice cube I used to know?"
Ling Luochen chuckled and said, "Oh, believe it or not. Even if you want to go find Yuhao in the future, Dean Xian will block the door and prevent you from seeing him at all."
Ma Xiaotao frowned subconsciously. Before she could figure out the deeper meaning of these words, Cui Yajie behind her spoke, with a tone of grievance.
"Sister Xiaotao, Sister Luochen, aren't Lulu and I responsible for taking care of Yuhao for the rest of the time? If Dean Xian does this, then the order we arranged previously will be completely useless, won't it?"
After hearing Cui Yajie's words, everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to Gu Yuena in the team, who was concentrating on eating Huo Yuhao's special snacks.
Gu Yuena paused, blinked, and said innocently, "Why are you all looking at me? I only said that I could let you help take care of Yuhao, but I didn't say that I would help you guard him."
If Gu Yuena hadn't known anything about taking care of people and only knew that a kiss could help Huo Yuhao recover faster, she would not have given these people the opportunity to take care of Huo Yuhao.
Now he watched Huo Yuhao being forcibly snatched away by Xian Lin'er, and felt the depressed and disappointed emotions of the girls around him.
Gu Yuena could only say: Happy!
This is why beauty is only worthy of the strong.
Zhang Lexuan sighed softly, walked forward, and called softly, "Alright, everyone, follow me to the top floor. We'll have to assign rooms and hold a pre-match meeting next."
Ma Xiaotao casually walked over to Zhang Lexuan and asked in a low voice, "Big Sister, what did Dean Xian just say to you? Aren't you and Gu Yuena in charge of this competition? Why is she here again?"
Zhang Lexuan was silent for a moment before she spoke in a complicated tone, "Xiao Tao, Dean Xian just told me that after the competition, I will be the Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department."
