Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao's Path of the Knights

The butler's cooking was as delicious as ever, especially this dinner, which was specially prepared and left the young man with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

Because of Tian Cejian's enthusiastic invitation, which was hard to refuse, Huo Yuhao stayed at Tian Cejian's house tonight.

However, before settling in, Huo Yuhao was forced by Tian Ce Jian to perform the hospitality he had been preparing for a long time.

However, Huo Yuhao found this so-called way of treating friends rather abnormal...

In a large bathtub, Huo Yuhao and Tian Cejian, both in a daze, were soaking in it.

The butler stood quietly to the side with two towels in hand, a smile on his face.

Huo Yuhao was still in a daze; he had no idea how he ended up in the bathtub.

"Wait a minute! Why are we both taking a shower together?!"

Coming to his senses, Huo Yuhao tried to get out of the bathtub, but failed.

Tian Ce Sword caught Huo Yuhao, who was trying to escape, and said while wiping his back:

"Don't rush, don't rush, don't rush."

Helpless, Huo Yuhao, whose soul power level was relatively low, couldn't break free from the Heavenly Strategy Sword's restraints and had to obediently sit in the bathtub, muttering helplessly:

"Really, you don't need to."

The young man felt helpless about Tian Ce Sword's enthusiasm, but he could only endure it.

……

After taking a bath, Huo Yuhao sat in front of a mirror, while the butler was fixing his hair.

Afterwards, Huo Yuhao, who had changed his clothes again, sat down at a long table with the butler.

Meanwhile, Tian Cejian was holding a book and talking about something.

"Charming and radiant, that person is my friend, my dear friend!"

He's not some friend, he's Huo Yuhao!

The boy cried out in his heart, but...

Huo Yuhao first glanced at the suit he was wearing, which originally belonged to Tian Ce Jian, then looked at Tian Ce Jian who was still saying something strange, and finally sighed helplessly.

He actually wanted to go back to the dormitory from the beginning, but Tian Ce Jian's strength was too great and he couldn't break free!

"Friendship, with it, I have the strength to go to the moon. In the drizzle, I wait for you quietly without an umbrella..."

Huo Yuhao turned to look at the butler, then asked in a low voice:

"Grandpa Butler, how long will this continue?"

"After all, this is to entertain a good friend. Afterwards, the young master will sing, play the piano, and then dance with you, Yuhao."

Upon hearing the butler's words, Huo Yuhao glanced at the Tian Ce Sword, which was still muttering something, and then covered his face.

Why is there more after that?

Singing? Playing the piano? And dancing together?!

As Huo Yuhao wondered if he could get any rest today, Tian Cejian turned a page of the book in his hand and continued reading.

……

And so, after going through "eighty-one tribulations," the way of treating friends with the Tian Ce Sword finally came to an end.

After finishing the rather torturous "way of treating friends" for Huo Yuhao, the young man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Huo Yuhao was lying on the bed in the guest room of Tian Ce's house.

The boy, who decided to relax a bit today, did not cultivate. Instead, he lay quietly on the bed, gazing at the ceiling with his mind blank.

A moment later, the boy's voice, tinged with relief, rang out from inside the room:

"Thankfully, Tian Ce Jian didn't invite me to sleep in the same bed with him..."

If Tian Ce Sword really extended such an invitation to him, then Huo Yuhao would have to carefully consider his roommate's sexual orientation.

He's a straight teenager and not interested in boys at all!

At least for now, I'm not interested!

Even though Huo Yuhao felt that Tian Ce Jian's "way of treating friends" was a little strange, he could still sense Tian Ce Jian's sincerity.

Originally, Tian Ce Jian, who, like me, focused almost all his energy on becoming stronger, has now prepared so many projects for me.

Huo Yuhao could clearly feel this sentiment.

"Friends... perhaps, it's not impossible."

Remembering what Tian Ce Jian said every day, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle.

He didn't actually dislike the current Tian Ce Sword, but he felt that the other party was a little troublesome.

Gently shaking his head, Huo Yuhao stopped thinking about it, slowly closed his eyes, lay down on the bed, and gradually fell asleep.

……

The next day, Huo Yuhao got up early; he still needed to go back to school for classes.

When he finished packing and arrived at the door, the prepared Tian Ce sword was beside him:

"My friend, my good friend! Let's go to the academy together and become stronger together!"

"My name is Huo Yuhao, not 'good friend'! Can't you speak normally?"

"Friend, this is the traditional aristocratic accent of our Tian Ce family, which we only use when speaking to people of importance."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

What the hell is this traditional aristocratic accent...?

Knowing he couldn't change Tian Ce Jian's mind, Huo Yuhao could only shake his head and sigh.

Back at the gates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Huo Yuhao and Tian Ce Sword entered.

After parting ways with Tian Ce Jian, Huo Yuhao went straight to the laboratory where he had agreed to use as a classroom with Teacher Jing Hongchen.

Because of his outstanding talent, after becoming a Level 3 Soul Master and taking Dean Jing Hongchen as his teacher, Huo Yuhao switched from large-class learning to individual teaching.

Not only did they receive one-on-one instruction from Dean Jing Hongchen, but they were also assigned a private laboratory, and even their resources increased dramatically.

Huo Yuhao strode toward the laboratory, but soon the boy had to stop.

Someone blocked his way; it was a familiar figure.

"Senior Meng? What brings you here?"

"Of course I came to see you."

Meng Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao, a smile playing on her lips, and leaned slightly towards Huo Yuhao.

"Looking for me?"

Huo Yuhao was taken aback. He wasn't surprised that Senior Sister Meng had come to him, since this wasn't the first time she had come to see him.

However, this was the first time that Senior Sister Meng had come to find him at this time.

"I'm sorry, Senior Meng, I still have classes to attend, so I can't..."

"Of course I know you have Grandpa's classes, but things are different now."

"Is it different now?"

The boy was even more confused, not understanding what Senior Sister Meng meant.

"Yuhao, let's skip class together! Let's skip class and I'll show you around!"

"Huh? Skipping class!?"

Seeing the surprised look on her handsome and adorable junior's face, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but chuckle softly:

"Just kidding, my little boss, of course I wouldn't take you to skip class."

Hearing Meng Hongchen's explanation, Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Huo Yuhao heard that his senior was going to help him skip class, he was really at a loss.

Fortunately, it was just a joke...

"Although skipping class was a joke, taking me out for a drive and doing something fun is a real thing."

Huo Yuhao: "?"

Huo Yuhao looked up at Meng Hongchen without speaking, but his bright eyes revealed the doubts in the young man's heart.
