Chapter 34 I'll treat you to grilled fish
Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao with some curiosity and tentatively said, "I heard that the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department have adopted a son. After seeing him today, I can see that the two deans have truly exceptional taste."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, "Senior is joking. My little tricks are not so easy to fool once you understand them. Senior Xu is just doing this for the first time and lacks experience."
Beibei raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "If this is considered a small trick, then probably no one in the outer academy knows any big tricks. Being too modest isn't good, Junior Brother Huo."
Huo Yuhao scratched his head with his right hand and didn't argue anymore.
Wang Dong and Tang Ya were both in the audience, seemingly talking about something.
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't make any special moves. He maintained his gentle yet aloof demeanor as he and Bei Bei supported Xu Sanshi on either side as they walked down the aisle.
"Pretty little boy, do you really want to join the Tang Sect?"
"Senior, please consider it. I really want to join the Tang Sect."
Are you really sure there are only two of us left in our sect?
"Senior, I want to join the Tang Clan and learn hidden weapons!"
"I'll think about it. I'll have Beibei come to your dorm to give you an answer later."
Beibei looked at Wang Dong's face with some curiosity, her eyes filled with wariness and doubt.
"Senior Bei, that guy is my roommate. He's not really interested in soul tools, and I only found out today that he actually likes hidden weapons."
"Oh? Is that so? It seems you've been influenced by the older generation's ideas in your family?"
Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Her father was the founding sect leader of your sect. What you said is absolutely right."
Tang Ya quickly spotted Bei Bei, and the mischievous girl skipped and waved to her, "Here! Here! Bei Bei, I'm here!"
Seeing his girlfriend's lively and adorable actions, Bei Bei temporarily put aside his original wariness and doubts, waved to Tang Ya, and then walked over with Huo Yuhao, supporting Xu Sanshi.
When Wang Dong saw Huo Yuhao, he snorted coldly and turned his head away, as if he didn't want to talk to him.
Huo Yuhao's lips curled slightly, and he transmitted his voice through his soul power, "What did I say again?"
Wang Dong ignored him, keeping his head turned away from Huo Yuhao, looking as adorably silly as a kitten whose sensitive area had been attacked by its owner and was now on high alert for being attacked again.
Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze and transmitted his voice again through his soul power, "You go back to the dormitory first, and Senior Bei Bei and I will take Senior Xu Sanshi back."
Wang Dong couldn't help but turn around and glance at him, then snorted coldly and said, "I'll go with you."
Huo Yuhao seemed to have thought of something, and instead of continuing to talk to Wang Dong, he turned to look at Bei Bei and Tang Ya.
Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao curiously. She had just learned from Bei Bei that he and Wang Dong were roommates, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Two handsome young men sharing a room! If those smitten girls at Shrek Academy knew this, they'd probably be drooling!"
Beibei looked speechlessly at the eccentric Tang Ya, reached out a hand, gently clenched her fist, and tapped Tang Ya's head, saying, "Girls should have some self-respect!"
Tang Ya obediently stuck out her tongue and whispered, "I'll be careful."
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were like two giant light bulbs, staring intently at the couple who were showing off their affection, with the shadowy figures of the Inquisition (FFF Group) faintly appearing behind them.
Bei Bei coughed lightly twice, as if to cover up his embarrassment. He glanced at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, and said somewhat awkwardly, "You two don't need to worry, it's only a matter of time, very soon!"
Huo Yuhao didn't respond to Bei Bei's words, but instead said softly, "Hello, Senior Tang Ya."
Wang Dong nodded to Bei Bei and said, "We meet again, Senior Bei."
At this moment, Beibei was holding Tang Ya's hand with her left hand and supporting Xu Sanshi with her right hand, and she was quite busy.
However, he had probably practiced enough to ignore the stares of those around him. Instead, he looked at the other three and said, "The fifth-year dorms are in the building next to the freshmen dorms. The boys and girls are in different buildings. Xiaoya, you should go back to your dorm first. I still have to clean up this mess."
Tang Ya nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
The four chatted and laughed, exchanging a lot of news with each other along the way, while Xu Sanshi remained fast asleep, serving as a backdrop for the others.
Finally arriving at the fifth-grade boys' dormitory, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong waved to Tang Ya and then, together with Bei Bei, escorted Xu Sanshi back to his dormitory.
After finishing the cleanup work for Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei escorted Huo Yuhao and the other person to the entrance of the fifth-grade dormitory building.
"You've worked hard, Yuhao. Sanshi is quite heavy. Carrying him back from the Soul Arena must have been exhausting for me alone," Beibei said with a smile, teasing Huo Yuhao.
"Senior Xu is awake. Senior Bei, please remember to apologize to him for me. I'm still somewhat aware of the power of the Illusionary Eyes; it probably showed him some rather sensitive things. I hope he won't hold it against me. How about this, Senior, invite Senior Tang Ya over in a few days. I'll treat you to grilled fish."
Taking the opportunity, Wang Dong said sarcastically, "I wonder who said they were going to treat me to a meal? It's been days and there's still no sign of them!"
Beibei asked curiously, "Grilled fish? Which restaurant?"
Huo Yuhao smiled confidently and said, "I'll bake it myself! Trust me, I'm extremely confident in my cooking skills!"
Beibei didn't think much of it and agreed.
The three said goodbye to each other and returned to their respective dormitories.
On their way back, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao fell into a strange silence. They were both lost in thought, and then they went into the dormitory one after the other and closed the door.
Wang Dong suddenly seemed unable to hold back any longer and asked Huo Yuhao, "Do you think my joining the Tang Sect was the right thing to do or the wrong thing?"
Huo Yuhao gave her a deep look. "As long as it's something you've decided from the bottom of your heart, then it's the right thing to do."
Wang Dong seemed to realize something, his expression changed slightly, and he fell silent again.
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "No matter what, I only hope that you will always be you. As long as you are still you, I will always support you."
Wang Dong's body trembled slightly. He turned his back and slowly shrank into the blankets, saying somewhat helplessly, "Let's go to sleep first. I want to have some peace and quiet."
Huo Yuhao watched his retreating figure, a certain determination seemingly forming in his eyes, before slowly walking to the dormitory door and turning off the lights.
Night had fallen, and moonlight streamed through the curtains, its cool glow dispelling the dark shadows in a small corner, as if something was about to hatch.
