“Greetings, Young Sect Master.” Behind Huo Yuhao, the elders bowed in unison to show their respect.
“Greetings, Young Sect Master.” After a moment of stunned silence, everyone present bowed. However, they were also somewhat confused at this moment. Wasn't it said that Huo Yuhao had already relinquished his position as Young Sect Master and joined the elders? Who were they bowing to now?
Su Shan'er was a little overwhelmed because the elders were bowing to her. But at this moment, Huo Yuhao cleared her confusion.
“You don't need to worry. Your position as Sect Master was decided upon by all the elders together. You may still have some shortcomings, but it doesn't matter. Remember, no one is born strong.”
“Work hard. Now, your teacher will shield you from the wind and rain, but I hope that one day, you can truly grow and become strong. When that time comes, your teacher will be proud of you, and others will say when they see me, 'Look, he is Su Shan'er's teacher.'”
These words were extremely inspiring, and the little ones listening had their eyes shining. Su Shan'er was also very excited and respectfully said, "Thank you for your teachings, Teacher. Shan'er will certainly live up to your expectations."
Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile and said, “You are my disciple, so you should know what kind of teacher you have. Let me introduce myself. I am Huo Yuhao, with the Spirit Eyes martial soul, a Rank 62 Battle Soul Emperor.”
At the same time, yellow, purple, black, black, red, and red—six soul rings that defied common sense—rose from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.
Especially the last two blood-red soul rings, the immense pressure emanating from them left everyone present speechless.
At this moment, everyone looked at Huo Yuhao with shock. Heavens, what were they seeing? A thirteen-year-old six-ring Soul Emperor, and these soul rings were too exaggerated.
At this moment, even Du Busi in the central hall in the distance opened his eyes. The old man's mouth twitched. Another hundred-thousand-year soul ring? This kid is really resourceful.
Su Shan'er was also quite surprised, but then she was filled with boundless joy. She didn't expect her teacher to be a Soul Emperor, and such a… freak.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Huo Yuhao was very satisfied. Of course, he wasn't doing this to show off, but to flex his muscles.
He didn't want his disciple to be gossiped about or ostracized in the sect, with people saying that a fool had taken a little kid as a teacher.
Soon after, Su Shan'er followed Huo Yuhao to a side hall next to the central hall. After entering, Huo Yuhao found a seat and sat down.
The other seats were also occupied by elders, and the head seat was occupied by the Sect Master, Du Busi.
Su Shan'er stood beside Huo Yuhao, looking restrained. She seemed a little uneasy in front of these important figures.
At this time, a maid brought over two cups of hot tea, which was the tea for honoring the teacher.
Su Shan'er took the tea from the tray, held it forward with both hands, and said, "Teacher, please have tea."
Huo Yuhao took it, pretended to take a sip, and then put it down before saying, "This teacher title is not for nothing. This is a gift for you from your teacher. Come, open it and see."
As he spoke, a white jade box appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand. The box was not large, but it looked very exquisite.
“Thank you, Teacher.”
No matter what, she thanked him first. Although Su Shan'er was born poor, her manners were still very proper.
“Open it and see if you like it,” Huo Yuhao reminded her.
Su Shan'er nodded slightly, reached out, and opened the jade box.
Inside the jade box lay a mushroom, a blue-gold mushroom, a bit ugly. Su Shan'er didn't know what this thing was for.
But at this moment, Du Busi's gaze was cast over, carefully examining the mushroom in the box.
“This is a Marrow Cleansing Spirit Dew, a near-immortal medicinal herb. After taking it, it has the wonderful effect of improving one's foundation and cleansing the meridians.”
Seeing Su Shan'er's expression, Huo Yuhao explained it to her.
Sure enough, it was an immortal herb. Du Busi's mouth twitched. He thought of the bet he had made with his disciple before.
Several elders also looked at each other, marveling at how such a magical thing could exist.
“Thank you, Teacher.”
Su Shan'er thanked him again after hearing the wonderful effects of the immortal herb.
After Su Shan'er put the jade box containing the immortal herb into the space in her hand, Huo Yuhao began to stir things up.
He glanced at Du Busi, a sly look flashing in his eyes.
Du Busi noticed his disciple's gaze and had a bad feeling in his heart. His butt shifted unnaturally, as if he had hemorrhoids.
“Disciple, go and offer tea to your grandmaster.”
“Okay, Teacher.”
Su Shan'er didn't think much of it, holding the remaining cup of tea and coming to Du Busi, then offering it with both hands, “Grandmaster, please have tea.”
Du Busi: “……”
He finally understood what this kid was up to, giving away storage soul tools and immortal herbs, and doing it in front of so many people.
Since the teacher was so generous, if he, as the ancestor, didn't show something, wouldn't that make him seem too petty?
After understanding this, Du Busi couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao. Seeing the latter's smiling face, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Young people don't have any morals, harming an old man like him.
Somewhat stiffly taking the tea, Du Busi took a sip. He swore that this was the most bitter tea he had ever drunk, without a doubt, and casually put it aside.
Under the gaze of Huo Yuhao and everyone else, Du Busi waved his hand, and a long, rectangular box appeared in front of Su Shan'er, floating in the air.
Du Busi said in as kind a tone as possible, "Little one, I had a bet with your teacher before, and the result was that I lost. This hundred-thousand-year strength-type soul bone is very suitable for you, and it was specially chosen for you by your teacher. Accept it."
As soon as these words came out, the several elders who were present when the two made the bet looked at each other.
Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. Was there such a thing? When did I say that this soul bone was prepared for my disciple?
Noticing Huo Yuhao's expression, Du Busi smiled triumphantly. No matter how well you plan, kid, you still have to drink my foot-washing water. He had finally turned the tables.
Su Shan'er didn't immediately take it, but instead turned her inquiring gaze to her teacher.
Huo Yuhao instantly changed his face, revealing a gentle smile, "Your grandmaster has a big family and a big business, so he doesn't lack this soul bone. Accept it."
Only then did Su Shan'er turn around and take the long box, but her hands were trembling violently. She might not have much of a concept of immortal herbs and storage soul tools, but soul bones were different. As long as one was a soul master, no one wouldn't know about soul bones.
Ordinary soul bones were enough to make people fight tooth and nail. There were even two kingdoms that went to war for a soul bone, a battle that led to more than ten thousand deaths and injuries. Therefore, soul bones were also known as treasures of the bloody river.
Among soul bones, external soul bones and hundred-thousand-year soul bones were the most precious. Hundred-thousand-year soul bones were the most precious treasures in the hearts of soul masters.
When had the little girl ever seen such a scene? In her nervousness, she forgot to thank him and be humble.
