Chapter 7

"So that's how it is. It was just a sparring match between freshmen, then that's perfectly normal. It's all a misunderstanding~"

Tang Ya clapped her hands and directly believed Bai Zhou's words.

Then she looked at Huo Yu Hao, rubbed his head, and gently persuaded him: "Little junior brother, since the misunderstanding is cleared up, from now on you are classmates. You must get along well. Although we can take care of you, we shouldn't violate the academy's rules."

"Little Sister Ya... I understand..." Huo Yu Hao gripped his fists tightly, but his heart felt incomparably stifled.

Just a moment ago, Tang Ya and Bei Bei had found him, wanting to vent for him. He felt there was no need to make a mountain out of a molehill, thinking he would take his revenge later.

Then he was forcibly dragged over by Tang Ya to Bai Zhou's dorm to pick a fight.

Although Huo Yu Hao didn't want to drag Tang Ya and Bei Bei into this, the feeling of being cared for was still very good, so he didn't stop them.

But he never would have thought that Tang Ya's attitude would inexplicably undergo a 180-degree turn. Just a moment ago, she had been swearing to make Bai Zhou pay the price, so why was the misunderstanding cleared up now???

Bei Bei was also full of question marks, not knowing what Tang Ya was thinking.

"Sorry to bother you, we'll be going now~"

Tang Ya didn't linger and pulled Bei Bei and Huo Yu Hao away directly.

"Xiao Ya, what's wrong with you? You were clearly very angry just a moment ago..."

In the hallway, seeing Bai Zhou close the door, Bei Bei finally couldn't help but ask.

Huo Yu Hao also looked at Tang Ya with some confusion, not knowing why Tang Ya's attitude had changed so drastically.

His teacher Tang Ya clearly doted on him, so why had she suddenly chickened out just now...

"I'm fine, I'm going back to rest first."

Tang Ya shook her head gently, suppressing the throbbing in her heart, and went directly upstairs, returning to the girls' dormitory.

"Xiao Ya..." Bei Bei's hand reached out halfway, but in the end, he didn't have the courage to pull Tang Ya back.

"Big Brother Bei Bei, no matter what, thank you all this time... but in the future, let me handle these things myself. I don't want to cause you trouble." Huo Yu Hao looked at Bei Bei and said very sincerely.

"Yu Hao, what are you saying? You are a member of our Tang Sect. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the school in the future, your teacher Xiao Ya and I will help you."

Seeing Huo Yu Hao so sensible, Bei Bei felt a bit of heartache.

After all, Huo Yu Hao was just an orphan, with no one to rely on outside. He and Tang Ya could be said to be Huo Yu Hao's only support, so naturally, he had to take good care of him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Big Brother, but I will also become stronger. I will handle my own affairs." Huo Yu Hao clenched his fists, his young face full of determination.

"Good, Big Brother believes in you."

Seeing that Huo Yu Hao hadn't been discouraged but was instead full of fighting spirit, Bei Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Evening.

Bai Zhou and Wang Dong had a meal together, and Wang Dong left first, probably to secretly go back to the dorm to take a bath... Bai Zhou, meanwhile, was strolling leisurely around the academy, sitting by the Sea God Lake, admiring the sunset in the distance, though his mood wasn't very good.

Perhaps he had arrived too early; he had been assigned to the old hag Zhou Yi's Class One, which was a bit annoying.

After all, this old hag Zhou Yi was simply too strict; Bai Zhou didn't even know how to skip class properly...

If there was an opportunity, he would definitely apply to go to another class, at least so he wouldn't have to attend these boring, meaningless garbage courses every day.

After all, with Bai Zhou's current physical fitness, ordinary training couldn't provide him with any exercise at all.

Even running a hundred laps around the playground was no different from a casual stroll for Bai Zhou; it was purely a waste of time.

Just as Bai Zhou was thinking this, his heart stirred slightly. Seeming to have sensed something, he turned his head slightly and saw a young girl with a high ponytail who had arrived behind him at some point—it was Tang Ya.

"Senior Sister, why are you here?"

Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow, asking a question he already knew the answer to.

"Your martial soul... is it the Blue Silver Emperor..." Tang Ya sat down beside Bai Zhou, looking at him eagerly, her eyes full of anticipation.

She hadn't inquired clearly before and wanted to go find trouble with Bai Zhou, but the moment she saw Bai Zhou, she discovered the throbbing of her own martial soul.

Then she made some inquiries and confirmed it, but she still wanted to hear Bai Zhou's answer from his own mouth.

"Yes, it's the Blue Silver Emperor, a purebred one. I can sense your martial soul, Senior Sister, it should be Blue Silver Grass, right?"

Bai Zhou smiled slightly and directly displayed his martial soul. It was a small, pale blue blade of grass, but it had mysterious, gold-rimmed patterns on its leaves, radiating a thick aura of life.

"Blue Silver Emperor... it really is the Blue Silver Emperor..." Tang Ya's beautiful eyes widened, her heart almost jumping out with excitement.

"Junior Brother, I have a presumptuous request. I wonder if you could do me a favor..." Tang Ya forced herself to calm down and looked at Bai Zhou with expectant eyes.

"Of course, after all, we are both students of Shrek. Helping each other is what we should do~" Bai Zhou smiled faintly, not putting on any airs at all, looking very approachable.

This caused Tang Ya's favorability toward Bai Zhou to skyrocket instantly.

"It's just, are you free tonight? I want to cultivate with you..." After Tang Ya said this, her delicate, pretty face was already covered in a blush; it was simply too shameful...

But she had no choice. This opportunity was simply too rare. She wanted to become stronger, wanted to take revenge, wanted to rebuild the glory of the Tang Sect, but because she was Blue Silver Grass, her strength was too low, and she couldn't do anything.

And by chance, she had seen in an ancient tome that if a Blue Silver Grass martial soul could cultivate together with a Blue Silver Emperor martial soul holder, the cultivation speed would skyrocket. If cultivated for a long time, the Blue Silver Grass bloodline would evolve and become increasingly powerful.

However, Blue Silver Grass martial souls were everywhere, but a Blue Silver Emperor martial soul was incredibly rare. In the entire Shrek, there were many twin martial soul holders, but there wasn't a single student with a Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.

And now, Tang Ya had finally found a Blue Silver Emperor martial soul holder; naturally, she wouldn't give up this opportunity.

"So, Senior Sister means, you want to dual cultivate with me?" Bai Zhou's heart jumped, and he was also a bit surprised.

Although he had guessed that Tang Ya might come looking for him because of his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, he hadn't expected Tang Ya to be so thirsty...

"Wha... what dual cultivation... pfft, pfft, pfft, it's not dual cultivation, it's cultivating together! Don't let your imagination run wild, it's just mutually beneficial cultivation!!" Tang Ya's pretty face turned bright red, and she was even speaking incoherently.
