Douluo Jueshi: Martial Soul Brain Waves, Telekinesis

Chapter 69: The Response of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion
Dai Huabin's accidental death during the freshman assessment naturally caused quite a stir in Shrek Academy. However, with Moon's help, no major uproar was caused, and people were quickly sent to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to negotiate.

Thanks to the handling of the Shrek top management, the students in the outer courtyard didn’t even know how Dai Huabin died, they only knew that Zhu Lu was gone.

During these two days, Lin Qinghan and Huo Yutong attended classes normally at Shrek Academy. No one bothered them, and no one even asked them questions.

However, the final championship award for the freshman assessment was not given to Lin Qinghan's team. In the end, it only ended after announcing the core disciples of the outer courtyard selected by the freshman assessment.

However, Zhang Lexuan used this incident as an excuse and stayed close to Lin Qinghan for two days.

Although Lin Qinghan felt somewhat helpless about Zhang Lexuan's actions, he did not refuse. After all, Zhang Lexuan had indeed done a lot of work for him and Huo Yutong because of this matter.

It was the evening of the third day when Lin Qinghan took Huo Yutong out of the school. He planned to rent a house near Shrek Academy.

Normally, Shrek Academy does not allow students from other colleges to attend school as a day student, but Lin Qinghan has a girlfriend who is the future heir of the Sea God Pavilion. He just talked to Zhang Lexuan about it, and this small matter was naturally approved quickly.

This was something Lin Qinghan had planned when he first entered the school. Although Zhang Lexuan had arranged for him to live in the best dormitory with a private bathroom at the beginning of the school year, otherwise he would have had to compete with 800 students from other colleges for one toilet.

However, it is always inconvenient to stay in the dormitory all the time. Besides, Huo Yutong and he now have a fusion of martial souls. Although no one has discovered it, it is not a good thing for Lin Qinghan to secretly run to the girls' dormitory every day.

Although the dormitory rules don't say it's against the rules for girls to come to the boys' dormitory, we can't let Huo Yutong, a girl, come to the boys' dormitory every day, right?
It is worth mentioning that due to Huo Yutong’s outstanding performance in the freshman assessment, unlike the original novel where he was only rated as a preparatory core disciple, he was actually selected as a formal core disciple, but was required to improve his soul power to level 20 within four months.

This is naturally very easy for Huo Yutong, who is now at level 19 and can fuse his martial soul with Lin Qinghan's to practice.

"What? My son Dai Huabin died?"

On the other side, at the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion, the Duchess of White Tiger listened to the news reported by her subordinates in disbelief.

Zhu Lu returned home very quickly. Before the messenger brought back the news of Dai Huabin's death, Zhu Lu had already returned to the Zhu family.
The first thing she did when she got home was to report to her family about Dai Huabin's death in the freshman assessment. The Netherworld Zhu family and the White Tiger Dai family had been friends for more than ten thousand years, so the news naturally spread quickly to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

"Impossible. Hua Bin was already a Soul Master before he went to Shrek. No one his age could be his match. How could he die in a freshman assessment?"

The Duchess of White Tiger totally didn't believe that Dai Huabin died during the battle due to the backlash of his martial spirit. What a joke! The White Tiger martial spirit had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, how could it possibly backfire?
However, after she learned that the news was brought back by Zhu Lu, who was engaged to Dai Huabin, she sent someone to Zhu's house to confirm it again. Now she could only believe the news of Dai Huabin's death.

The Duchess of White Tiger had completely lost her usual sharpness and was as grief-stricken as a mother who had lost her child, with a look of despair on her face.

"Duchess, the Shrek people have arrived and are waiting in the living room."

Another servant came to the door and reported a piece of news. When the servant saw the Duchess's face, he was a little frightened. After reporting a sentence, he dared not say anything.

Hearing the servant's report, a glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the White Tiger Duchess. What if the news of Dai Huabin's death was just Zhu Lu's misunderstanding, and he was actually just in a coma?
Without waiting for the servants to lead her, the Duchess ran directly to the living room of the Duke's Mansion. She now hoped very much that Shrek's people would bring good news about Dai Huabin.

"Is it about my son Dai Huabin?" As soon as she rushed into the living room, the Duchess looked at the Shrek visitor with hope in her eyes.

"It's indeed news about Dai Huabin. Dai Huabin overreacted during the freshman assessment and attempted to kill someone. However, due to his own lack of strength, he failed. In his rage, his soul power erupted, impacting his heart meridian..."

The middle-aged man in the white robe said the words he had prepared in advance indifferently, without any consideration for the Duchess's intentions.

"Finally, since Dai Huabin also injured the opposing student, but died as a result of his own actions, he will not be held responsible."

After hearing the last words of the middle-aged man in white robe, the Duchess felt her vision turn white and finally fainted.

"Ah! Duchess!"

The servants around were extremely panicked. If anything happened to the Duchess, they would not be able to escape responsibility, so the punishment was the lightest. If they were held accountable, they might even lose their lives!

"Since Dai Huabin hasn't officially passed the freshman assessment, not counting Shrek's students, that's all I have. I'll take my leave now."

The middle-aged man in the white robe fainted when he saw the Duchess, but he didn't react much. He left after saying his last words.

Unlike the chaos in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, Lin Qinghan had just chosen a house to rent and was watching Huo Yutong negotiate the price with the agent.

It was he who requested Huo Yutong to live with him off campus. After all, it would be much more convenient for the two of them to fuse their martial souls and practice.

Huo Yutong was very happy about this and offered to help Lin Qinghan choose a house. She had rented a house for half a year before and had some experience in this area.

"Here are the house keys and the rental contract. Please take a look at them first."

Huo Yutong and the agent discussed the price for a full ten minutes, and it was only when Lin Qinghan called a halt that they stopped arguing over the price.

Lin Qinghan also looked at this house. It was a duplex building, similar to the small Western-style building in his previous life. It also had a basement for soul masters to practice. It was only a few hundred meters away from Shrek Academy in a straight line, which completely met Lin Qinghan's requirements.

According to the agent, it was a newly built house by a wealthy businessman who was only a Soul Sect member. However, he left for the Sun and Moon Continent before he moved in. It seemed that he was thinking of coming back, so he rented out the house he left behind.

However, because there is an underground training room, the rent is more expensive than the surrounding ones, which is why Huo Yutong wants to argue. Although Lin Qinghan is not short of money, Huo Yutong still wants to save some for him.

Lin Qinghan took a look at the contract and signed it after making sure there was no problem. He paid one year's rent first and then took Huo Yutong to decorate the house.
