Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 83 Dealing with follow-up
“Why are you so excited? It will be very dangerous if you fall down.” Seeing Wang Dong, who was still a little dazed and leaning stiffly on his right arm, Huo Yuhao put his hand on Wang Dong’s shoulder and helped him up.

“You bastard!” Wang Dong bumped into Huo Yuhao’s shoulder, pushing him back several steps.

"Do you know how worried everyone is about you? Why did you lie to us?" Wang Dong glared at Huo Yuhao angrily, tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.

Wang Dong could never understand why Huo Yuhao had to go hunting for spirit rings alone. It was obvious that as long as Huo Yuhao asked, would Teacher Shrek help Huo Yuhao hunt for spirit rings?
But Huo Yuhao had to deceive both sides and go soul hunting alone! What did Huo Yuhao think of them? !
Huo Yuhao looked away guiltily, not daring to look directly into Wang Dong’s eyes:

"Let's not talk about this for now. My registration issue hasn't been resolved yet. I'm going to go find Teacher Fanyu first!"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao’s figure flashed, and he rushed past Wang Dong and walked towards the soul guidance area.

“This guy!” Looking at Huo Yuhao running away in a ghostly manner, Wang Dong gritted his teeth and followed him.

She wanted to see how Huo Yuhao was going to explain it to the teacher!

“Although I can handle the report, the grade assessment is related to whether Huo Yuhao can be promoted to the second grade. If Huo Yuhao even misses the grade assessment, then I can only ask Dean Qian Duoduo for help. Dean Qian is more familiar with the school’s rules and regulations. Maybe he can find a way…”

As soon as he entered the soul guide experimental area, Huo Yuhao heard Fan Yu's tired voice before he even stepped into Fan Yu's office.

The office is not soundproof, that's really low.

Even though Huo Yuhao already knew this, he couldn't help but complain every time he saw it.

Well, in the fantasy world, the soundproofing methods used in the previous life are completely unnecessary. Soundproofing with materials is completely incapable of preventing the methods of soul masters. The truly confidential matters are all transmitted through sound or using soul power to construct a soundproof barrier.

“Huo Yuhao, this kid wants to…”

Before Zhou Yi could even begin her furious speech, there was a knock on the door, interrupting her spell.

"Come in!" Inside the office, Zhou Yi and Fan Yu both sensed that the aura outside should be Huo Yuhao.

"Teacher Fan, Teacher Zhou..." Huo Yuhao pushed the door open, closed it silently, and walked to the desk obediently like a child who had done something wrong, ready to answer the questioning of the "parents".

Before Fan Yu could say anything, the office door rang again and Wang Dong pushed the door open, panting.

How can this guy run so fast...

Looking up at the tense atmosphere in the office, especially the three gazes looking at him, Wang Dong's breathing inexplicably became much lighter. Wang Dong lightened his steps, slowly moved to the other side, and joined the team interrogating Huo Yuhao.

“Tell me, where have you been?” Seeing that Huo Yuhao had returned, Zhou Yi was not so anxious anymore.

"Aren't we going to hunt for spirit rings? I didn't expect it would take up so much time..."

Huo Yuhao chuckled and pretended to be stupid.

“Hunting for spirit rings? What kind of spirit rings would require you to deceive both sides, hide it from all of us, and then go hunting alone?” Zhou Yi was very dissatisfied with Huo Yuhao’s evasive answer.

"It's just a thousand-year spirit ring, there's nothing to hide."

“It’s just that the soul beasts I hunted weren’t in a very dangerous place, and they weren’t very aggressive. I didn’t want to waste the teachers’ energy, so I went alone…” Huo Yuhao went out this time under the name of soul hunting, and Zhou Yi also asked about soul hunting. Even though he knew that Zhou Yi didn’t actually ask about soul hunting, Huo Yuhao planned to play dumb and kept leading the topic to soul hunting.

"Thousand-year soul ring..."

Zhou Yi's eyes twitched. Even if Huo Yuhao had been exercising every day in the past year, his physical fitness couldn't have improved so much, right?
The cards revealed are so big, how big must the secret be that this guy is trying so hard to hide?

Anyway, Zhou Yi didn’t believe that Huo Yuhao would go hunting rings alone for such a ridiculous reason. Anyone who believed it was a fool.

But Zhou Yi didn't plan to delve into it further. Everyone has some secrets.

"Millennial Soul Ring?!" Fan Yu and Wang Dong exclaimed.

Fan Yu was pretending, intending to cooperate with Huo Yuhao to focus on the topic and ignore the unreasonable parts.

As for Wang Dong...

Alas, it’s better not to say anything about this silly goose.

“Yeah, after such a long period of settling down, my physical fitness has barely improved enough to absorb a thousand-year-level spirit ring. But I was worried that you wouldn’t let me take the risk, so I went alone.” Huo Yuhao continued to talk nonsense.

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao summoned his Spirit Eyes martial soul and revealed two soul rings, one white and one purple.

No matter how far-fetched Huo Yuhao’s reasons are, as long as the listeners are willing to believe them, it will be fine. If they are unwilling to believe them, no matter how perfect his reasons are, it will be useless.

Obviously, two of the three people present were willing to believe it.

"How could you take such a risk... Your first soul ring is only at the ten-year level, and your second ring has directly advanced to the thousand-year level. If the age exceeds it by even a little bit, your life may be in danger!"

Zhou Yi said earnestly, "I know that your first ring is only ten years old, which makes you lag behind others. You want to catch up with your peers, but you can't take your life lightly like this. Don't take risks like this in the future. Do you know how worried we are about you?"

"I'm sorry! Teacher Fan, Teacher Zhou, and... Wang Dong, I made you worry!"

Huo Yuhao said this very sincerely and bowed in a very standard way to show his sincerity.

"I'm glad you came back safely," Fan Yu waved his hand and said, "Tell me about your second spirit ring."

After all, he still has to help deal with Huo Yuhao's affairs, so it would be good for both parties to compare their statements.

"My second soul ring comes from a silkworm soul beast in the far north, known as the Ice Silkworm Clan. On the surface, this soul beast has an ice attribute, and the soul skills normally obtained by ice attribute soul masters are very ordinary ice silks, which have very average power, so there are very few soul masters who choose ice silkworms as their soul rings."

“But I read through ancient books and learned that there was a civilian soul master who had no one to help him hunt souls and lacked combat power. He was unwilling to spend his life in a muddle with only a ten-year soul ring, so he could only try to find an ice silkworm that had no attacking ability as his first soul ring.”

"Finally, he successfully found a hundred-year-old ice silkworm on the edge of the Far North. When he was about to attack, he found that the ice silkworm suddenly turned into a tiger and pounced on him. In a panic, he could only use his crossbow to randomly shoot at the tiger. Finally, the tiger disappeared, and the ice silkworm, which was shot to death by arrows, lay straight on the spot. After absorbing the spirit ring of its birth, he did not gain the skill of hiding his body."

"Later, when that soul master grew up, he wrote an autobiography about this incident, analyzing the possibility that the ice silkworm may have hidden spiritual attributes. However, spiritual attributes are rare, and not many people are willing to go to the far north to hunt such a weak soul beast as the ice silkworm as a soul ring for such a guess. Until now, no one has confirmed this guess, and it eventually came to nothing. This autobiography was also collected by the predecessor of the academy who collected information on soul beasts and was put in the academy's library."
