Chapter 1: The Ignorant Young Huo Gua

"What a grand palace, it's a good thing I didn't waste time, otherwise I really wouldn't have caught up to Huo Gua."

Su Yu, 12 years old, martial soul is an unknown mirror, son of a wealthy merchant in the imperial capital of the Star Luo Empire; in terms of status, while he cannot compare to Huo Gua in the future, at present, he is indeed much better off than Huo Gua, that son of a maid.

He originally thought it was some powerful martial soul, but after learning his innate soul power was only level five, he gave up on other conjectures...

Besides this, he has another identity, which is that of a transmigrator from the 21st century on Blue Star.

Self-proclaimed as a fish that slipped through the net of nine-year compulsory education, he made a bold decision: since I'm not capable, I'll go hug Huo Gua's thigh.

As long as I hug that thigh tightly, to say nothing of anything else, at least in the future, I'll have my share of the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Walking in the direction of the White Tiger Duke's residence, ever since he transmigrated, he had been pondering what time it was.

Although he knows the plot of Peerless Tang Sect, it doesn't mean he can control everything; after all, the original author just wrote it casually, so what could you possibly guess?

After all, in the imperial capital of the Star Luo Empire, it is actually not difficult to dig up a little information, especially about someone as ignored as Huo Yuhao; the timing is very clever, and in the north of the White Tiger Duke's residence, Su Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, revealed a smile.

Although Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye is not yet fully developed, his eyesight is, after all, much stronger than Su Yu's.

His martial soul is a mirror, so it is not difficult to reflect a person's tracks.

After all, he is not like Huo Yuhao, who has been hungry and cold since childhood; his speed on the road was naturally much faster than his, arriving in the Star Dou Great Forest a step ahead of him.

However, unexpectedly, in the Star Dou Great Forest, he also reflected Huo Yuhao's tracks.

"Next, it's time to see my acting skills; success or failure hinges on this one move."

Su Yu deliberately used tree branches to tear his clothes and used mud to make himself look disheveled; looking at his current appearance, Su Yu nodded with satisfaction.

After all, according to Huo Yuhao's personality, he might instinctively be somewhat repelled by people of different status and background; given his living environment, one cannot rule out such a possibility.

"So hungry, can you give me something to eat? I haven't eaten for three days..."

Su Yu put on a pitiful appearance and pointed at Huo Yuhao's grilled fish with a trembling finger.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Su Yu. I got separated from my family, and now I don't know where I am. I haven't eaten for several days, and I followed the smell here. Can you give me some to eat? I have money, selling me a little is fine too..."

As he spoke, Su Yu also pretended to be trembling all over, and with mud-covered hands, he took out a few copper soul coins from his tattered clothes.

Damn it, for the sake of future prosperity, I'll risk it all...

Huo Yuhao was instinctively a bit alert, but seeing Su Yu looking just as disheveled and ragged as himself, he lowered his guard.

"Eat quickly, I see you're quite pitiful too..."

Huo Yuhao felt a bit moved inside; after all, seeing the other person's miserable state, he couldn't bear it, so he nodded and handed over the grilled fish.

Su Yu took the grilled fish and devoured it; to be fair, no wonder the Third Young Master had to write specifically about Huo Gua's grilled fish, I have to say it really has something to it...

Just at this moment, a voice caught Su Yu's attention.

He looked in the direction the sound came from and saw two people walking along the stream; walking in front was a young girl, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old, her long black hair tied into a ponytail hanging behind her, and a light blue tight-fitting outfit outlining her full of youthful spirit.

Phoenix eyes, eyes large and lively, a straight and delicate nose, a near-perfect oval face; her beautiful, pretty face carried a hint of surprise, her eyes fixed directly on Huo Yuhao's grilled fish.

Following behind the girl was a youth who looked to be about the same age as her; the youth had a slender and upright figure, and his short dark blue hair emitted a luster like a gemstone under the sunlight.

Although he was not old, he gave people a feeling of being refined; his handsome face carried a trace of lazy, gentle smiles, his hands behind his head, and he was also looking at Huo Yuhao's side with interest, though he was looking at the person, not the grilled fish.

The girl walking in front had already skipped to Huo Yuhao in three or two steps, looking mouth-watering as she said: "Little brother, are you selling this grilled fish? It smells so good, how did you make it!"

They appeared, one of the several female characters who would turn dark in the original plot, the Tang Sect descendant Tang Ya, and another, Bei Bei, who was attracted by beauty.

Looking at Tang Ya, the young Huo Yuhao naturally couldn't handle it; according to the development of the original plot, the three of them were definitely going to stage a scene of warm-heartedness and mutual assistance.

Just as they were eating the grilled fish, Bei Bei noticed Su Yu, who had been silent on the side.

"Hello, my name is Bei Bei, are you Huo Yuhao's brother?"

Bei Bei is indeed Bei Bei, at least not comparable to that woman Tang Ya, whose mind is only filled with eating, cultivation, and restoring the Tang Sect.

"Hello, Brother Bei Bei, my name is Su Yu, I am Huo Yuhao's friend."

Friend?

Hearing this sentence, Huo Yuhao was slightly moved; after all, from childhood to adulthood, Huo Yuhao had never had any friends.

Looking at Su Yu's disheveled appearance, Bei Bei didn't ask anything more; after all, his purpose for this trip was to accompany Tang Ya, and he didn't take Su Yu to heart.

At this time, Huo Yuhao stood up and said: "Brother Bei, Sister Tang, I have to go first."

Saying this, ignoring their attempts to make him stay, Huo Yuhao left this place.

As soon as Su Yu saw Huo Yuhao leave, he hurriedly chased after him, "Huo Yuhao, wait for me, I want to go with you."

Saying this, Su Yu followed shamelessly; for nothing else, I must hug this thigh today, no one can stop me, not even if Tang San comes!

Having caught up to Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao was a bit surprised, and a trace of being moved appeared in those beautiful big eyes.

"Yu Hao, I am very grateful that you saved me. From the moment you helped me, I have regarded you as my friend. As friends, shouldn't we help each other?"

Looking at Huo Yuhao's slightly moved appearance, Su Yu's heart was actually churning...

As a twenty-year-old youth, deceiving a child like this, is it really okay...

But for the sake of his future, Su Yu still decided to extinguish his shame and conscience; after all, how much is this stuff worth? Being able to survive is the absolute truth!

"Su Yu, do you really regard me as a friend?"

In Huo Yuhao's big eyes, a light called being moved flickered, but he didn't know that Su Yu not only regarded him as a friend but also as a thigh.

"Really, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have starved to death here long ago. You helped me, so you are my, Su Yu's, friend. Your business is my, Su Yu's, business. Besides, shouldn't friends help each other?"

Huo Yuhao's plan was instantly disrupted by Su Yu; friends helping each other is correct, and it seems he following me isn't wrong either...

The young Huo Yuhao was thus fooled by Su Yu's impassioned words until he was dizzy; at least for now, Huo Yuhao really had no friends, and having finally found one, he naturally wouldn't give it up so easily.

Listening to Su Yu's words, Huo Yuhao said happily: "Su Yu, I am going to hunt Soul Beasts, are you going too?"

Are you kidding, who wants to go with you? If it weren't for the Soul Guidance Device knife in your hand, that Wind Baboon would have killed a god in this battle.

Su Yu spouted nonsense with a straight face, looking at Huo Yuhao's delicate face, he said resolutely: "I said, your, Huo Yuhao's, business is my business. If we hunt Soul Beasts, it will be easier if we are together. Besides, we are friends, aren't we?"

These words made Huo Yuhao's blood boil, as if he had met a soulmate; after all, he was still young, and hunting Soul Beasts to obtain a Soul Ring was something to look forward to.

Now that he had gained a friend like Su Yu, how could Huo Yuhao not be happy?

For Huo Yuhao, who had always been bullied by others, all of this was like a dream or an illusion; as for hoodwinking a young and ignorant Huo Gua, wasn't that as easy as reaching out to take something?

Although Su Yu also felt somewhat reluctant, how could one who achieves great things be constrained by such minor details?
