Chapter 66 You must promise me
After bidding farewell to Yan Shaozhe once again, Huo Yuhao and his two companions finally left the office building.
As soon as they stepped outside, the three of them stopped in their tracks and exchanged a silent glance.
Immediately, Wang Dong asked with some concern, "Is that the woman in red the one who went berserk last time? Dean Yan asked you to meet with her, isn't it dangerous?"
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment. She was about to ask Yan Shaozhe about the man in red, but now, listening to Wang Dong's words, it seemed that this person had some grudge against Huo Yuhao and the other two.
Huo Yuhao had already noticed Xiao Xiao's doubts, so he took the opportunity to explain.
"The red-clad person that Dean Yan mentioned is his personal disciple, Ma Xiaotao. I learned from my parents before that her martial soul is the same as the original Shrek Seven Devils—the Evil Fire Phoenix. Her martial soul talent is very strong, but there is always a trace of evil impurity in the essence of the flame, which prevents her from perfectly presenting the true nature of the fire phoenix. This has caused her to always be restricted in her cultivation, constantly on guard against the evil energy going out of control."
"Three months ago, Wang Dong and I took a day off because we happened to run into this senior student when we went for a walk by the Sea God Lake in the morning. If I hadn't released my second martial soul and used the attribute of extreme ice to suppress her and help her temporarily regain her senses, Wang Dong and I would probably have faced a life-or-death crisis."
"The reason Dean Yan brought this up with me this time is that he hopes I can use the ultimate attribute of my second martial soul to help this senior suppress the evil energy in her martial soul, just like last time, or even go further and help her resolve the impurities in her martial soul and achieve its evolution."
Xiao Xiao finally understood what riddle Dean Yan had been playing, but once she understood, she couldn't help but worry about Huo Yuhao's safety, just like Wang Dong.
"In that case, isn't there any danger in you interacting with that senior tonight?"
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were both very reluctant for Huo Yuhao to take this risk. After all, previous examples were right in front of them, and they didn't even want to think about what might happen if Huo Yuhao encountered any danger.
Huo Yuhao smiled easily, "Nothing will happen. This senior hasn't gone berserk yet. I'll help her suppress her evil temper first, and then she'll have even less chance of harming me. Besides, I've already promised Dean Yan, so it wouldn't be good to go back on my word, right? You two can rest assured."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had said so, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao really couldn't offer any more advice, so they had to suppress their doubts and worries for the time being.
"By the way, Wang Dong, didn't you tell me before that my dad wanted me to go to the Soul Guidance Department after I woke up?" Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered what Wang Dong had told him when he woke up that morning.
Wang Dong blinked before realizing that Huo Yuhao was referring to Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department.
Xiao Xiao, who had previously received Qian Duoduo's instructions along with Wang Dong, immediately understood, "You're going to the Soul Guidance Department now?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Yes, so I'd like to ask you to help me, Teacher Wang Yan, and Teacher Mu Jin ask for leave. I might not be able to attend today's class."
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao immediately agreed. The three parted ways at a fork in the road not far ahead. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao went to the teaching building for class, while Huo Yuhao headed straight for the Soul Guidance Experiment Building.
Soul Guidance System Experiment Building, Ninth Experiment Zone.
Xianlin'er and Qian Duoduo are discussing Huo Yuhao.
"Lin'er, Yuhao is back. You absolutely must remember not to pry into his past!"
"I know without you telling me. This child started wandering around when he was eight. He couldn't have made a name for himself without some secrets. We should ask him what we need to ask, but we shouldn't pry too much. Just like the teacher said, since we've adopted him as our son, we have a responsibility to guide him onto the right path."
"You're right. Anyway, let's both watch our tone later and not scare Yuhao."
"That's natural!"
Just then, the gate to the experimental area slowly opened, and a figure walked in quietly. Huo Yuhao, whom Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo had just been talking about, had arrived.
Upon seeing Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, Huo Yuhao immediately bowed slightly and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm here."
Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo looked at Huo Yuhao in front of them with some nervousness, feeling a bit awkward like first-time parents.
The two quickly pulled Huo Yuhao over with one hand each, and the three of them sat in chairs, just like they were having a family meeting.
The two looked at Huo Yuhao, hesitant to speak, unsure of what to say for a long time. If it were just a master-disciple relationship, it might not be so complicated, but the two of them, who had never had children, had impulsively adopted Huo Yuhao as their godson.
Huo Yuhao had heard Yan Shaozhe's words before, and the Sea God Pavilion meeting had just been held yesterday. He guessed that his adoptive parents had worried a lot about him. With the heart of not wanting to let those who were good to him get hurt, and the principle of repaying a small kindness tenfold, Huo Yuhao spoke first, "Mom and Dad, I know you may have many questions, but Yuhao's respect and gratitude for you two have always been there."
"I didn't reveal my second martial soul to you before because it's something I can't easily explain in a short time. Anyway, please rest assured, there's nothing wrong with the origin of this martial soul, and I didn't trade my future for anything. I will explain everything to you when the time is right."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xian Lin'er's eyes reddened slightly. She couldn't help but hug Huo Yuhao tightly. "Good child, how could your father and mother doubt you? You've been out and about since you were eight years old. If you didn't have some secrets to protect yourself, you might have lost your life. How could your father and mother force you? If you want to talk, your father and mother will listen attentively. If you don't want to talk, then keep it to yourself."
"As long as you don't go astray or do anything wrong, your parents will always support you. But you must promise me that no matter what you do, you will never joke with your life!" Xian Lin'er cupped Huo Yuhao's face in her hands and said solemnly.
Huo Yuhao stared blankly at Xian Lin'er before him. For a fleeting moment, he thought he was facing Huo Yun'er.
Huo Yuhao quickly composed himself, and nodded gently, his nose tingling with emotion.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had agreed, Xian Lin'er hugged him tightly again with joy in her eyes, murmuring, "Good boy, good boy."
Qian Duoduo watched the scene before him with satisfaction, a quiet sigh of relief washing over him. He knew that Yuhao was still Yuhao, his and Xian Lin'er's son, and that was enough. As for secrets, who could say they didn't have any? Anyway, it wouldn't affect their family's relationship, so who cared!
