Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

Chen Zifeng asked Xixi, who had remained silent the whole time. Not only Yao Haoxuan, but the rest of the main team also subconsciously looked over.

Although they didn't have any particular feelings for Ling Luochen, gossiping and eating melons are human nature, and humans are inherently driven by extreme curiosity.

Ma Xiaotao stared at Xixi, her eyes slightly tense. She didn't know why she was nervous; she was probably afraid that Huo Yuhao was in danger. Yes, that was it.

This was the first time Xixi had been stared at like this, and she felt immense pressure. Her expression seemed calm, but she was actually trembling with fear.

"I don't know," Xixi replied "coldly," at least that's what everyone thought.

"Even Xixi doesn't know?" Chen Zifeng believed Xixi without the slightest hesitation, his face full of disappointment.

The rest of the people were pretty much the same; that's the reputation of honest Xixi.

"It's Yuhao!" Just then, Xiao Xiao shouted, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Following the direction Xiao Xiao pointed, they indeed saw Ling Luochen and Huo Yuhao flying in from the sky.

However, as the two approached, everyone's expressions gradually became strange.

Wang Dong stared intently at Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochen's clasped hands, his fists clenched tightly, his entire being exuding a tense atmosphere.

Ning Tian's expression wasn't very good either. Huo Yuhao was now an important goal for her to cultivate, her future partner and support.

Seeing the two of them holding hands so intimately, she naturally felt uncomfortable.

Ning Tian glanced over unintentionally and happened to see Wang Dong's tightly pursed lips and fiery eyes. The resentment he had just felt towards Ling Luochen was instantly replaced by shock.

Wang Dong actually has a special sexual orientation; he likes Huo Yuhao!

Ning Tian felt troubled again. She never expected that her opponents would include not only talented girls like Xiao Xiao and Ling Luochen, but also this guy Wang Dong.

Is Huo Yuhao some kind of succubus?

Ning Tian's worldview was shaken.

She accepted Xiao Xiao as her rival, but given their friendship as classmates, it was understandable that she might develop feelings for her.

She accepted Ling Luochen as her opponent; his martial soul had improved, and his future was promising, which was quite reasonable.

After all, her choice of Huo Yuhao was also based on his strength; her motives were essentially no different from Ling Luochen's.

But what is Wang Dong as an opponent? Shouldn't he and Huo Yuhao be like me and Wu Feng, comrades who entrust each other with their backs?

Ning Tian felt that the world had been turned upside down and she no longer recognized it.

Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochen landed from the air. Ling Luochen released his hand and returned to the main team. His expression remained natural throughout, completely unaffected by the gazes of those around him.

Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan were eager to know what had happened, but they dared not face Ling Luochen. They could only focus their attention on Huo Yuhao, who had come with him.

"What's going on between you and her?!"

Huo Yuhao felt a strong force coming from the hem of his clothes, followed by a fierce gaze.

"Tell me the truth, what have you all done!" A strong force came from the other side of the hem of the dress, along with a questioning gaze.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao each took one side of Huo Yuhao and pulled him to a small grove of trees.

"What's going on? What did you do? What are you talking about?" Huo Yuhao was bewildered by the barrage of questions from the two men.

"Still playing dumb?" Wang Dong sneered. "It hasn't been long, and you're already holding hands!"

"Yuhao, we are still young and should focus on cultivation. Getting involved with these things too early will only harm you."

Xiao Xiao's face was full of seriousness as she earnestly advised him.

"What's wrong with holding hands?" Huo Yuhao now understood what the two girls meant; they were both stimulated by his intimate behavior with Ling Luochen.

"What! Did you do something even worse last night?" Wang Dong was struck dumb, taking a step back in disbelief. Upon closer inspection, her body was trembling slightly.

Xiao Xiao looked utterly shocked. She stepped forward and grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulders, her breathing rapid and labored. "You two... slept together last night?"

"Of course, if you're not going to cultivate, are you going to sit on the bed or the floor? There's no need to force yourself to suffer."

Upon hearing the first three words, Xiao Xiao felt her heart skip a beat, but Huo Yuhao's next words made her heart rise again.

Wang Dong's emotions were like a rollercoaster, plummeting and then rising again. She felt like she couldn't hold on any longer. If Huo Yuhao did this a couple more times, she might faint.

"I really don't know how your thinking can be so unhealthy. I've already said that Luo Chen and I are just going to cultivate."

We held hands because we were flying here together; Sister Luo Chen was just helping me speed up.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao both breathed a sigh of relief, but soon they realized something was wrong.

"Luo Chen, sister?" Wang Dong chewed on these three words repeatedly, his face filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"When did you and your senior get so close?" Xiao Xiao's reaction was exactly the same as Wang Dong's, and she asked with a wary look.

"Isn't this just a normal way of addressing someone?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously, which earned him a series of eye rolls from Wang Dong.

"Yesterday you called her 'senior sister,' and today you're calling her 'Sister Luo Chen.' Do you think that's normal?"

"Of course it's normal." Huo Yuhao glanced at the two men's faces, looking completely at ease.

"I wasn't familiar with Sister Luo Chen yesterday; we were just classmates. After cultivating together, we naturally became friends. What's wrong with calling her Sister Luo Chen?"

Wang Dong couldn't find a rebuttal and was speechless for a moment, so he could only glare at Huo Yuhao resentfully.

Just then, Xuanzi and Wang Yan appeared before everyone, immediately extinguishing Xiao Xiao's desire to speak.

"Everyone's here, let's go." Xuanzi, as usual, followed his usual routine of drinking and eating meat, and took the lead at the front.

Their speed wasn't particularly fast; given the physical abilities of Soul Masters, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a day trip.

Once the outline of Shrek City had completely disappeared from sight, Xuanzi suddenly stopped, turned to face the crowd, and spoke in an aged voice.

"Come over here, everyone."

Upon hearing this, the fourteen people formed a small square formation in two rows in front of Xuanzi. Xuanzi cleared his throat, his expression becoming solemn, and his tone becoming more serious.

"Children, do you know why there have always been so few inner court disciples at Shrek Academy?"

Upon hearing this, the seven members of the regular team all understood what Xuanzi meant, as they had all come from the reserve team.

However, to Xuanzi's surprise, the seven members of the reserve team just looked at him with slightly puzzled eyes and did not respond.

After a moment of silence, Beibei finally reacted and said, "Maybe they've all graduated."

"No, that's only a very small part." Xuanzi cast an admiring glance at Beibei, his tone full of sorrow.

"Most of the inner court disciples did not actually graduate, but their names are still on the academy's graduation roster."

They didn't die because they lacked the ability, but because they carried the weight of honor on their path to pursuing their ideals.
