Chapter 384 The plan begins!
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.

"The Holy Son has descended? What does that mean?" the Ice Emperor asked.

Huo Yuhao chuckled: "According to the information I got from Xiaoya, because of that devouring ability, her cultivation speed is now astonishing. In addition, with Long Xiaoyao as her backer, the Holy Spirit Sect has already designated her as a Holy Maiden."

"The necromancy my teacher taught me can directly destroy souls and is not countered by the light attribute. If I claimed to be the holy son that Long Xiaoyao had secretly sought out, what do you think his reaction would be?"

"hiss--"

Tianmeng Bingcan and Bingdi both gasped. Bingdi said solemnly, "Yuhao, you need to think this through. This is no joke. With that evil soul master's position as a branch elder, his status within the Holy Spirit Sect is far beyond that of an ordinary disciple like the Great Holy Spirit. If he notices anything amiss in your lie, it will be dangerous!"

Huo Yuhao calmly said, "According to Xiaoya, although Long Xiaoyao is a respected elder of the Holy Spirit Sect, he doesn't participate in any sect affairs at all. He's like a hermit, rarely interacting with anyone other than the sect leader. In the general perception of the sect members, he is not only highly respected but also quite mysterious."

"Even if that Elder Yao is an elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, I believe it's unlikely that a mere eighth-ring level elder would have any dealings with Long Xiaoyao. Besides, Xiaoya, the Holy Maiden, was brought back by Long Xiaoyao. For someone of his caliber, it seems plausible that he could secretly arrange for another Holy Son to infiltrate Shrek Academy, right?"

"This..." Ice Emperor was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he had to admit that Huo Yuhao's words made some sense.

“Since we can’t think of any other way for the time being, let’s follow Yuhao’s plan. Yuhao has never been a reckless person. The fact that he dares to do this means that he is confident in his abilities,” Tianmeng Bingcan said.

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "That's right. The area that Elder Yao is good at is the soul and controlling soul beasts, which is actually beneficial to me. With Elder Yi here and your spiritual origins, it's basically impossible for him to control or influence me in terms of the soul. As for those ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts that he has refined, although they are somewhat troublesome in number, they could never kill me instantly."

"Even if he sees through my lie, if I'm determined to run away, it will be difficult for him to keep me here."

Finally, Hyotei nodded in agreement: "It seems that's the only way. Be careful."

"I will."

The next afternoon, Huo Yuhao carefully checked his equipment before heading outside.

Although he's planning to play the acting role this time and doesn't intend to go toe-to-toe with that old medicine man, he'll probably never need these equipment. But it's always good to be prepared, better safe than sorry.

Earlier today, he touched the remnant of Nana's soul that remained within him.

This was a communication code that Huo Yuhao had already established. To prevent retaliation from that old apothecary, Nana would have to stay hidden unless Huo Yuhao took the initiative to contact her.

When Huo Yuhao needs to contact her, it will trigger the soul imprint within his body. After receiving the contact information, Nana will disguise herself that night, using the alias You Chu, and book a private room for two at the bottom of the lake to wait for Huo Yuhao.

Upon arriving at the dean's office, Huo Yuhao made an excuse that he had been studying hard these past two days and wanted to go to Mingdu to relax. After informing Lin Jiayi, he headed out of the academy.

Throughout the journey, Huo Yuhao kept his True Sight activated, constantly monitoring his surroundings, but he didn't notice anything unusual until he entered the lakebed.

Although this was something he had expected, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh inwardly: It seems that the old apothecary had already gathered a lot of information about him and knew that his perception was amazing, so he didn't come to follow him directly.

However, Huo Yuhao was certain that since he had left the academy without any disguise, he was now being secretly watched!
"Brother Soul Master, did you make a reservation in advance?" A sweet-smiling, pretty girl wearing a short skirt that barely covered her hips greeted Huo Yuhao, who was wearing the uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, as he walked in.

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. Soul Master brother?

The manager of this hot pot restaurant chain knows how to play the game!
Why are you calling me "brother" instead of "Soul Master"?

The girl looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old. Although Huo Yuhao was actually younger, his appearance and physique already had the air of a young man, so it was reasonable for him to call her "brother".

For a boy of this age, being called "brother" really touches his heart! When he's in a good mood, his appetite naturally improves, and when the table is served, he'll order at least a few more dishes!

While inwardly praising the manager's grasp of human nature, Huo Yuhao said to the girl, "It was booked by a lady named Shen Youchu; it's a couple's private room."

The girl smiled and nodded, checked the information at the front desk, and then led Huo Yuhao upstairs.

Upon entering the private room, Huo Yuhao noticed that Nana's body tensed up slightly. She relaxed a little after seeing that it was him and quickly stood up respectfully, saying, "Young Master."

The hostess paused slightly, then retreated with a strange look in her eyes. Huo Yuhao smiled and sat down opposite Nana, asking, "Have you been alright lately?"

Nana was about to speak when she suddenly paused, then replied, "There's nothing else going on."

The aroma of hot pot filled the room, and the two began to chat as they ate.

Of course, this is just a facade, done just in case for others to see.

In fact, the two had already begun discussing tonight's operation through Huo Yuhao's local area network.

"You heard about the explosion a few days ago, right?"

"Yes, young master, the place where the explosion occurred was the former branch of the Holy Spirit Cult here."

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, that old apothecary has probably already returned."

"Oh? Young Master, then aren't you in danger?"

"I contacted you today because I wanted to lure out that old apothecary and then resolve this matter once and for all."

"Master Yao's cultivation is unfathomable. Are you confident, young master?"

"I already have a plan. If everything goes smoothly, after tonight, Elder Yao will disappear from this world completely."

"So, you asked me out tonight because..."

"Yes, we need your cooperation for tonight's operation. Here's what you'll do in a bit."

The two communicated and prepared for their operation through Reality, ostensibly exchanging information about any unusual events that had recently occurred in Mingdu. What should have been a warm and intimate couple's hotpot meal turned into a secret rendezvous between them.

Finally, after more than half an hour, the two had eaten and drunk their fill and left separately.

Huo Yuhao did not return to the academy immediately, but instead wandered around Mingdu, waiting for a big fish to bite the hook.

Nana cautiously made her way back to her hiding place in Mingdu, an inconspicuous house.

Just as she stepped into the room and closed the door, a sinister, hoarse voice rang out: "I never imagined that it was you who betrayed the Holy Church and caused the death of my disciple!"

Here it comes! The plot gets even more interesting from here on out, so stay tuned, haha!
