Chapter 104 A Rare Gathering
Su Yu quietly followed behind Elder Xuan. When Elder Mu returned to the Sea God Pavilion with his cane, his aura had clearly weakened considerably.
"Su Yu, come here." Old Mu beckoned to Su Yu.
Su Yu nodded and stepped forward to help Old Mu up.
"I'm so glad Shrek Academy has a student like you. You're young, but your mind is already incredibly mature. I believe you'll be a great leader in the future. I know you're doing this for Yuhao's sake, and I hope you'll continue to do the same for Shrek Academy. That would put my mind at ease. Su Yu, now I ask you, if you were to stand against Shrek Academy in the future, could you do it?"
Seeing that things were not going well, Elder Xuan realized that Elder Mu's words were clearly loaded with hidden meaning.
Just as Elder Xuan was about to speak, Elder Mu stopped him with a look. Elder Xuan could only nervously watch Su Yu, hoping that Su Yu's answer wouldn't be too earth-shattering, after all, this kid...
Su Yu calmly said, "As a member of Shrek Academy, I will naturally think about the academy's interests. From the moment I chose to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, I made that decision, and it will remain so in the future."
in case……
As for what it might be, Su Yu knew perfectly well in his heart that the road ahead was destined to be long, especially with that certain person still plotting in the God Realm. If he wanted to truly live with Wang Dong, he was destined to have to get past that person...
Tang San, one of the five great god kings, the god of asura, and also the god of the sea!
"Good, very good, good boy, I am very satisfied with your answer just now." Old Mu smiled at Su Yu, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.
Elder Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly realizing that Elder Mu wouldn't be so serious unless it was something important.
However, right after Elder Mu finished speaking, Su Yu turned around and disappeared from the Sea God Pavilion.
With the crisis over, there was no need to stay here any longer. Elder Mu's words meant that the path Elder Mu wanted him to inherit was ultimately not suitable for him.
So rather than staying here and imposing responsibilities on them, it's better to leave.
When Su Yu came out of the Sea God Pavilion, Wang Dong asked in surprise, "That's it? You just went in, didn't Elder Mu say anything to you?"
Wang Dong asked with a surprised look, clearly very concerned about whether Elder Mu had said anything to him.
Shortly after, Huo Yuhao was called in.
When Huo Yuhao walked up to Elder Mu, Elder Mu asked, "Yuhao, I am very grateful for your contributions to Shrek Academy. You are a good child. Whether it was in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament or at Shrek Academy, your growth has made me extremely satisfied. This will always be your home. Regardless of whether you want to stay at Shrek in the future, you must remember that the doors of Shrek will always be open for you."
Huo Yuhao lowered his head and said, "Elder Mu, you flatter me. I am an orphan. After my mother died, I had no home. At that time, I only felt hatred. In the Star Dou Great Forest, I met Teacher Xiaoya and Senior Brother. They used a spot from the Tang Sect to send me to Shrek Academy. From childhood to adulthood, I grew up with my mother. In that cold place, I only felt humiliation and indifference. It wasn't until the day I entered Shrek Academy that I experienced the feeling of home. The academy gave me warmth, made sure I was well-fed and clothed, and educated me to become a Soul Master and taught me to be an adult. This is my home. Other things can change, but home will never change. I will do anything to protect my home and defend its honor."
"For the safety of the academy, we have reached an agreement with the Body Sect. You can simultaneously cultivate the Body Sect's and Shrek Academy's martial soul systems. I'll ask you one last time, are you willing?" Although Huo Yuhao had already agreed, he still confirmed it one more time.
Huo Yuhao's eyes were already brimming with tears. "I do!"
Elder Xuan, who was standing to the side, could no longer hold back. "Foolish boy, why don't you hurry up and become a disciple?"
"Ah!" Huo Yuhao finally reacted. He immediately knelt down and respectfully bowed to Elder Mu, "Elder Mu, please accept me as your disciple."
Old Master Mu laughed and said, "Good boy, get up." He was already holding Huo Yuhao's right hand, and with a gentle pull, a soft force instantly flowed into Huo Yuhao's body, lifting him up.
Seeing the sincerity in Huo Yuhao's eyes, Elder Mu smiled broadly, growing more and more fond of him.
Given his status, he naturally couldn't take the initiative to say that he wanted to take Huo Yuhao as his disciple. He could only try to get the information indirectly. Fortunately, Elder Xuan reminded him, so Huo Yuhao didn't miss this great opportunity.
"Elder Mu, you've agreed?" Huo Yuhao asked tentatively.
Old Mu laughed and said, "Silly boy, you should change your tune."
…………
"It's nothing. Elder Xuan asked me if, in the future, I were to stand on the opposite side of the academy, would I still think of the academy as I do now?" Su Yu answered Wang Dong's question, but did not tell him the result.
Wang Dong waited for a long time but received no further response, so he asked, "And then? What was your answer? Tell me!"
"Hehe, tell me what you chose back then, and I'll tell you." Su Yu looked at Wang Dong with a mischievous grin.
Fine, you don't have to tell me, and I won't either. Let's see who has the strongest curiosity. Anyway, I'm not worried.
To everyone's surprise, Wang Dong curled his lip and said, "Tch, this genius doesn't care. You're probably going to say that you, Su Yu, would dedicate yourself to Shrek Academy to the point of death, but I won't tell you what this genius has chosen. Fine, don't tell me then, hmph..."
Goodness, look at your arrogant attitude. When it comes to curiosity, I'm sure you're even more curious than me. If you don't believe me, let's just wait and see.
"Let's go, the crisis is over, let's go back."
As he spoke, Su Yu glanced at Huo Yuhao, who hadn't come out for a long time. Sure enough, the protagonist is the protagonist. I don't have that kind of luck. Besides, Elder Mu really can't teach me anything.
"What, you still want to go back?"
Seeing that Wang Dong did not move, Su Yu turned around and saw a large, crystal-yellow hand appearing in the air. The hand opened and reached out in one direction, and immediately, countless tiny black spatial rifts appeared in the air in that direction.
Su Yu knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it was probably Jing Hongchen who had arrived. Logically speaking, there should still be a bunch of level 8 or 9 soul tools outside Shrek City.
However, there was nothing left for him to do here, so he simply took Wang Dong and left.
Back in the dormitory, Wang Dong felt a little uneasy. The reason was that Su Yu had been sitting quietly at the table since he returned, lost in thought without saying a word.
Based on Wang Dong's understanding of Su Yu, Su Yu would never be in this state unless something important had happened.
But what could be causing Su Yu such distress?
"Su Yu, are you alright?"
Wang Dong tentatively asked, unaware that he himself was extremely nervous at the moment.
Looking at Wang Dong's appearance, Su Yu did not answer. He reached out and touched Wang Dong's head, letting out a leisurely sigh.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
Holding Wang Dong's soft hand, Su Yu led her to the competition venue where she had sparred with the inner court members before.
Although this wasn't a formal gathering place, a crowd had still gathered. After changing into appropriate clothes, Yao Haoxuan still had a certain air about him, except that his height was still a major drawback.
When Su Yu and Wang Dong appeared, the seven people from the inner courtyard waved to Su Yu. In addition to the seven people from the inner courtyard, there were also some old acquaintances at this gathering.
When Su Yu appeared, from a distance he could also see Xiao Xiao walking with He Caitou, and Huo Yuhao standing next to Ma Xiaotao like an obedient little wife.
Tang Ya also got to come here thanks to Bei Bei. As for Bei Bei's best buddy Xu Sanshi, he was scolded by Jiang Nannan until he was covered in dust. The problem was that this guy still wanted to go up and hold Jiang Nannan's hand, "Nannan, look, everyone is holding hands, shouldn't we, hehe..."
"roll!"
…………
"Looks like our star of the night has arrived! Shouldn't we welcome him?"
Dai Yueheng was quite formal, beckoning everyone to come forward.
"It seems like all of you seniors are recovering well. Long time no see," Su Yu greeted them as usual.
"Come on, come on, we've been waiting for you two. It's too late. You should punish yourselves with a drink." With a wicked grin, Chen Zifeng handed a glass to Su Yu and filled it to the brim without saying a word.
Seeing this, Su Yu knew that this guy was up to no good. "Senior Chen Zifeng, are you trying to settle a personal score? I'm only thirteen years old, and you want me to drink alcohol? Senior Ling Luochen, Senior Ma Xiaotao, Senior Xixi, you be the judge, isn't this blatant bullying?"
"Yes, you have to drink this wine yourself. You lost to Su Yu even though you're on the same level. What makes you think you can make someone punish themselves with a drink? How about I toast you a few times?" Ma Xiaotao chimed in, launching a counterattack against Chen Zifeng.
If we're talking about who's the most dangerous in the world, then everyone here is a junior. Who can compare to Chen Zifeng?
Joking aside, when everyone gathered together, Yao Haoxuan asked the question that had been puzzling him for over a month: "Su Yu, how did you know we were going to get hurt?"
"Oh dear, I don't even know how many times I've explained this. Go ask Elder Xuan and the others. I'm done explaining now."
Su really didn't want to explain this anymore. Wang Yan asked once, Ma Xiaotao asked once, Elder Xuan asked once, and Elder Mu asked once. He was completely stumped by all the questions.
"You saved my life. If you encounter any trouble at the academy in the future, just mention my name, Yao Haoxuan. If anything happens, I, Yao Haoxuan, will protect you!" Yao Haoxuan didn't say anything about how he couldn't repay the life-saving grace. He was very straightforward: I'll protect you from now on!
Chen Zifeng, carrying a wine jar, stepped forward and said, "Yao Haoxuan, you've gone too far! I was the one who was saved, after all. You've made me lose face. From now on, whether it's the outer courtyard or the inner courtyard, if anyone dares to touch you, I, Chen Zifeng, will be the first to object!"
Xixi chimed in, "Alright, alright, can't you two be a little more composed? You've been through hell once, you should at least have learned something."
