61 A distant acquaintance

Seeing Wang Dong handing the bag directly to Huo Yuhao, Du Weilun's veins twitched and he felt like he couldn't breathe properly again.

Huo Yuhao didn't cherish it at all and opened the bag directly.

A ball of dazzling yellow light jumped out of the skin without any warning and slowly floated in mid-air.

Looks like a small bone, only as long as a hand.

When it came out of the skin-sack soul guide, the air in the entire office seemed to become thicker, and rich soul power fluctuations emanated from it.

"This is a soul bone?" Even Wang Dong was a little shocked.

For a soul master, soul bones are more precious than soul rings.

After all, every soul beast will have a soul ring after death, but soul bones are unique.

For soul masters, soul bones are also one of the most obvious ways to improve their strength.

Du Weilun felt a little proud. If it weren't for Wang Dong, would he have asked for this soul bone as a reward?

Maybe now, they should be grateful.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Du Weilun saw Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao look at each other, stuff the soul bones back into the leather bag soul guide, and hand them back to Du Weilun.

"You...what are you doing? Isn't this reward enough to satisfy you?" Du Weilun was a little angry.

Even if Wang Dong comes from that place, he can't open his mouth like a lion!

However, Wang Dong's first words shocked Du Weilun.

"We are willing to use this soul bone in exchange for Huo Yuhao to gain the core disciple status."

Du Weilun looked at Huo Yuhao suddenly.

"Huo Yuhao, don't you want this soul bone?"

"Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao are the ones who contributed to the competition. What qualifications do I have to get this soul bone? Director Du, please ask Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao."

Du Weilun originally thought that Wang Dong would be his biggest setback today, but he didn't expect that Huo Yuhao's mouth was more lethal than Wang Dong.

What is he mocking? What is he insinuating? Are you talking about Du Weilun, the dignified teaching director of the martial arts department, being short-sighted?

It's really unbearable!

Du Weilun suppressed the anger in his heart. He still wanted to leave a good impression in front of Wang Dong.

"Okay, since you don't want this soul bone and want Huo Yuhao to get the core disciple status, then I will report it to the academy. I hope you won't regret it."

"Director Du is allowing Yu Hao to gain the status of core disciple on an 'equal' basis." Wang Dong reminded him kindly.

"Bang!"

The three of them responded with a loud slam of the door.

The next moment, the door was opened again.

"Go back to class now. Regarding the identity of Huo Yuhao's core disciple, we will wait for the academy to study it first."

"Bang!" The door was closed again.

Du Weilun turned pale and walked away.

Watching Du Weilun's leaving figure, Wang Dong was filled with anger.

"It's obvious that he is self-righteous and can't see clearly the situation of the game. Why is he pretending to be such a big-tailed wolf in front of our students?"

"Wang Dong, tell me, will they really give Yu Hao the status of a core disciple?" Xiao Xiao said with some worry.

"It's all over my stomach." Huo Yuhao stood up.

"It's time to go back."

"Yuhao, do you really not mind?" Wang Dong asked, "They treat you like this without asking any questions, wouldn't you be angry?"

Huo Yuhao smiled, "Angry? There's no use being angry."

"You can only hit him with your fist until it hurts and makes him cry, then he will know what to do."

"This is the way the world is."

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's eyes shone, "Is this the meaning of the existence of our Mingjiao? Yuhao, don't worry. The Mingjiao will definitely grow in our hands."

Huo Yuhao smiled and did not explain.

What does the world have to do with him? But there is no need to say more about this kind of thing.

In this world, if you want to learn to grow, you always have to lose something.

He has lost enough, now he is just getting it back one by one.

As for what I did on the way, I just did it casually.

  "Correct."

Huo Yuhao suddenly turned around, and Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao almost bumped into him.

"What you have lost today, I will give it back to you in the future. This is my promise."

"Hmm..." Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao nodded, with steam rising vaguely above their heads.

…

In front of the teaching building, when Zhou Yi saw Huo Yuhao and the others coming back, Zhou Yi quickly went up to greet them.

"Teacher Zhou, why are you here?" Wang Dong said in surprise.

"How is it? What rewards did the college give you? Didn't you have any conflict with Director Du?"

Looking at Zhou Yi with a concerned look on his face, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao felt indescribably weird.

Ever since Zhou Yi admitted her mistake to Huo Yuhao in front of a group of students, things seemed to have changed.

At the beginning of school, they would not have believed that Zhou Yi would be like this.

"Teacher Zhou, now that you've figured it out, you don't have to wear a mask in class anymore. If you disguise yourself to the students, the students will also pretend to you," Huo Yuhao said.

Zhou Yi was stunned and nodded.

"I never thought that one day I would be lectured by a student."

"So Teacher Zhou, why are you here?" Xiao Xiao asked.

Zhou Yi looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "I have something to ask Huo Yuhao. You guys should go back to class first."

"Teacher Zhou." Huo Yuhao said, "If you have anything to do, you can wait until I come back."

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Yi asked curiously.

"Take a leave and go back to visit an acquaintance who used to take care of me, and hunt for souls by the way."

"Hunting souls? Don't you want help from the academy? You know, you have this right now."

"No." Huo Yuhao shook his head, "Teacher Zhou, do you think I have no plans for my soul ring?"

Zhou Yi hesitated, "That's right. In that case... how long do you want to ask for?"

"Hmm…probably, about a month."

"One month..." Zhou Yi pondered, "I can approve it. However, you must come back on time."

"No, no, I almost got fooled by you. How are you going to hunt souls by yourself?"

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "Didn't I just say that I wanted to go back to visit an acquaintance who used to take care of me? It's her."

"Well... well, since you have your own plans, I won't say anything else. You must come back as soon as possible."

Beside, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao couldn't help but get close to them.

"Yuhao, are you going to hunt for souls without me? At least I can help."

"Go, go, go, I'm going back to meet an acquaintance, what are you going to do?"

"I...as your best friends, can't we go together?"

Watching Huo Yuhao and the others returning to the classroom while having fun, Zhou Yi touched his face and gently tore the back of his left cheek.

An extremely delicate human skin mask was lifted by Zhou Yi, revealing her true face.

"It's been so long that I almost forgot what I looked like."
