People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 17 17. Beibei is cheated again
There are many ways to bring people closer together. The simplest and most brutal way is to eat hot pot. Everyone eats from the same pot, which will subtly bring the two sides closer together.

After eating for a while, Qin Yi seemed to have thought of something. He slowly put down his chopsticks and looked at the two girls who were eating. He asked thoughtfully, "Do you two girls have lovers?"

The two women did not feel that there was anything wrong. Although Qin Yi looked to be only in his twenties, his actual age was enough to make him their great-grandfather or even great-great-grandfather. He was also the deputy leader of the Body Sect and was quite famous in the soul master world. There was no need for them to be on guard against such a respected old senior, right?

Xiao Xiao shook her head and said, "Teacher Qin, you know that I come from a medium-sized soul master family in the Heavenly Soul Empire. The circle I can get in touch with is relatively small, and I am busy with cultivation and preparing potions. I have almost no chance to get in touch with top-level talented male soul masters, let alone date them."

Wang Dong'er echoed, "Me too. I grew up in the Haotian Sect and rarely came into contact with people from the outside world. The male spirit masters in the sect are all big and strong, which is not my type."

……

Qin Yi didn't have to spend any effort at all, and he didn't even use any fancy words. Just relying on his identity as the class teacher, the two girls completely dropped their disguises, treated him as an intimate elder, and chattered about their true feelings.

Qin Yi patiently responded one by one and showed enough sympathy for their troubles. For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room was unusually harmonious, and the two girls' favorability towards Qin Yi soared.

“As a teacher, perhaps I shouldn’t say such things to you. But as an elder, I have to advise you two little girls to stay away from Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya, Bei Bei and other Tang Sect disciples. I don’t want to elaborate on the reasons, in order to prevent someone from accusing me of being disunited.”

“In short, when you look for a partner in the future, be sure to stay away from people like Huo Yuhao. Even though he has good talent, he can’t even control his most basic emotions. He gets angry at any time. After getting married, people like him often abuse their wives, or even... their daughters!”

After hearing Qin Yi's words, the expressions on Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao's faces instantly turned ugly. Seeing is believing, hearing is not. They witnessed Huo Yuhao's arrogance and unreasonableness with their own eyes today. Just by saying sarcastically that Huo Yuhao is a loyal dog of the Tang Sect, the other party's eyes turned red and he was panting. Such a person... humph, is not worthy of their lifelong trust.

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the two women, Qin Yi revealed a barely perceptible smile on his face. He never considered himself a good person, let alone claiming to be on the side of justice. As long as there was a chance, he did not mind using some despicable means to suppress Huo Yuhao, including but not limited to whispering in the ear of Huo Yuhao's confidante.

After finishing their meal, the three of them left the Tulip Hotel happily and went to Shrek Square to watch the welcome party.

……

Time goes back to the moment when Huo Yuhao just arrived at the cafeteria.

After Huo Yuhao prepared the meal, he was surprised to find that Bei Bei was sitting alone at a table eating barbecue and rice, with a look of unhappiness on his face.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward and asked, “Senior Brother Beibei, what’s wrong with you? Did your plan not go smoothly and were rejected by those talented students? Don’t take it too seriously. We are still young and have plenty of time to waste. There is no need to rush.”

Bei Bei waved her hands and said solemnly: "Junior brother, you misunderstood. It's not that we didn't recruit talented students. On the contrary, according to your plan, we brought a student with the Mo Wu inheritance into the Tang Sect. This is her work."

As he spoke, Bei Bei handed a palm-sized crossbow to Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao took it and looked at it. Wow, the sophistication of this crossbow was beyond his imagination. The densely packed parts inside made his scalp numb. Its sophistication was far better than Zhuge Liang's crossbow.

After appreciating it, Huo Yuhao put down the crossbow in his hand, looked at Bei Bei in front of him, and asked with a puzzled look: "Big Brother, our Tang Sect also has advanced hidden weapons such as the Mother-Child Pursuing Life and Soul-Taking Gallbladder and the King of Hell's Post. In addition to the more sophisticated crossbow, does the Mo Wu inheritance have any other weapons that are different from the Tang Sect's hidden weapons?"

"Of course there is." Beibei thought: "Little Junior Brother, do you remember the metal puppet at the class division ceremony this morning? That was one of the mechanical creations made by the Mowu inheritance. The Mowu inheritance is known as the...soul mentor of the new era."

A soul mentor in the new era?
Huo Yuhao's frown instantly relaxed. He quickly grabbed Bei Bei's hand and said excitedly, "Big Brother, can you introduce her to me? I want to become her disciple and learn mechanical engineering."

Bei Bei said with a look of regret: "Junior brother, unfortunately, many inheritances cannot be passed on to others. Most of them are passed down from one lineage to another and can only be passed on to one's descendants. Take the Mo Wu inheritance for example. Even if you understand the principles of some mechanical creations, you still cannot make a complete mechanical creation without practicing the corresponding exercises."

"Xiao Ya and I approached Mo Lian and invited her to join the Tang Sect. She agreed, but she put forward a condition to us?"

"What conditions?" Huo Yuhao asked subconsciously.

Beibei said with a look of grief and indignation: "She wants Xiaoya to be her lover!"

“Ah???” Huo Yuhao said in surprise: “Mo Lian sounds like a girl’s name? How could she…”

Bei Bei said weakly: "Junior brother, you are too young. This kind of thing is common in the circle of top nobles. Mo Lian is too important to the Tang Sect. Xiao Ya didn't think about it at all and directly agreed to the other party's request. Follow Mo Lian... to the hotel."

As she spoke, Bei Bei could no longer hold back and began to wipe away her tears in front of Huo Yuhao.

He was cheated on, and it was a woman at that. That feeling... It was so painful.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his storage belt and wanted to wipe the tears from Beibei's eyes. As soon as he stood up, he felt a tearing pain in his waist. Unprepared, he sat back in his seat again.

The dark green handkerchief in his hand flew out and landed directly on Beibei's head.

Well... the scene was very awkward for a while. When Beibei took the handkerchief off her head and saw the color of the handkerchief clearly, her face turned... green, and the expression on her face became extremely distorted.
