Chapter 39 First Meeting Yuhao
Time always flies fast, especially for soul masters who are obsessed with cultivation. Winter comes and summer goes, spring goes and autumn comes, and another year is coming to an end.
It was a rare rain in Shrek Academy, which made the whole academy feel a little cooler. Wang Nan was walking out of the academy in the rain with an umbrella.
He wants to take advantage of this winter vacation to obtain the fourth soul ring.
Since obtaining the right arm bone, Wang Nan's physical strength has also increased rapidly. He estimates that the age of the spirit rings he can withstand this time should be longer than that of ordinary spirit masters, roughly between six thousand and eight thousand years.
Soul beasts of this age are relatively rare in the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest. We might have to go deep into the mixed zone, so it would be safer to go home and call my father to go with us.
At the entrance of the academy, a luxurious carriage was parked. Wang Nan took a quick glance and didn't look at it any more. Just as he was about to walk past, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Junior Brother Wang, are you going back to Xingluo City?" Dai Yueheng stuck his head out of the carriage and called out to Wang Nan.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Dai."
Dai Yaoheng got off the carriage and came to Wang Nan. Behind him, a strong man came forward and held up a big umbrella.
"I don't know when the rain will stop. If you don't mind, Junior Brother Wang, you can get in my car and we can go back together."
Dai Yuheng had a faint smile on his face as he looked at Wang Nan.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Dai. This little bit of rain is nothing. I can just walk back."
"Junior brother Wang, you're welcome. You and I are classmates, and..." At this point, Dai Yuheng lowered his voice and gave Wang Nan a look, "Ever since that time, I've been wanting to find a chance to thank you, but you missed the Soul Fighting Competition, and you're busy with schoolwork, so it's rare for us to see each other. This is a good opportunity for me to express my gratitude."
Wang Nan saw that Dai Yuheng was not being polite but was really inviting him, and it was not a big deal to ride together, so he agreed and followed him into the carriage.
Not sure if it was because of the material of the carriage or something inside, but Wang Nan felt warm as soon as he got into the carriage.
"When this carriage was built, some Red Spirit Warm Jade was installed inside." Dai Yueheng took the initiative to explain, "When my mother gave me this gift, I was still young. She was afraid that I would catch a cold, so she installed some inside. But later, I rarely used it."
"Oh, why is that?" When Wang Nan saw Dai Yuheng looking at him, he consciously acted as a supporting actor.
"Junior brother, you don't know that although I was born in the Duke's Mansion, my father has always been strict with me since I was a child. Before I awakened my martial soul, my father made me fight some low-age soul beasts. Later, after I got my first soul ring, I joined the army with my father, and I rarely used this carriage."
Dai Yuheng recalled with emotion for a while, and then turned the topic to Wang Nan, "I saw that my junior brother acted decisively during the last mission. Did you have such an experience when you were a child?"
"At that time, I just saw the tragic scene and was angry for a moment, so I didn't think much about it. Looking back on it afterwards, I am still a little scared." Wang Nan explained half-truthfully.
"Junior brother, you really have justice in your heart." Dai Yueheng nodded. "The first time I went to the battlefield was in the war with the Sun-Moon Empire. Their soul guides are still fresh in my memory."
Dai Yuheng looked at Wang Nan's reaction and turned the topic to soul guides. He knew that Wang Nan was different from other Shrek students and had been interested in soul guides from the beginning.
After all, he is the heir of the Duke of White Tiger. Dai Yuheng has been trained in his words and deeds since he was a child. How to communicate with others and how to get closer to others are all things that come easily to him.
The carriage traveled for a day and a night. Apart from meditating, Dai Yuheng was constantly looking for topics to talk about, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.
"Young Master, we are here."
Wang Nan and Dai Yaoheng got off the car together. In front of them was a palace-like building with a golden roof and red doors. It was antique and had three big characters "Duke's Palace" written on the archway several meters high.
"We're here so soon?" Dai Yuheng asked in surprise, "It seems that my junior brother and I have a good understanding of each other. We have been chatting for so long without realizing it." Wang Nan just smiled.
Dai Yuheng talked about the development of soul guides or the food from different places. All of them were things Wang Nan liked to hear, which were obviously prepared in advance. He didn't notice it at first, but he could still feel that Dai Yuheng was deliberately trying to make friends with him.
"Junior brother, since you are here, why don't you stop by my house and have a seat?" Dai Yuheng got off the carriage and came to Wang Nan's side. "My mother has always taught me to treat guests well. If you leave now, my mother will scold me when I go back."
"You don't want to see me, your senior brother, being scolded by my mother, right?"
Seeing this, Wang Nan knew he couldn't refuse, so he followed Dai Yuheng's advice and agreed.
Walking into the gate of the Duke's Mansion and crossing the courtyard, you will see a stone-paved path with lush green bamboos planted on both sides.
Dai Yaoheng whispered something to the guards around him, then quickly walked to Wang Nan's side.
"I have just arranged for someone to prepare a simple meal. I will take you around the mansion first, and then I will send someone to take you back later."
"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Dai." Since he was already here, it didn't matter if he had a meal, so Wang Nan didn't refuse.
"That's how it should be." Dai Yueheng said with a smile, "Junior brother, look, these are soul-quenching bamboos. Although they are not considered rare treasures, having more of them around can also make people energetic."
Dai Yuheng introduced the company as he walked, and everyone else he met on the road lowered their heads and avoided him. Wang Nan also experienced the treatment of a "superior" person with Dai Yuheng. Until a boy appeared in front of him.
This is a side courtyard. When Dai Yaoheng came over, all the servants lowered their heads and stood aside. With them was a child who looked to be about six or seven years old. He seemed to be a little thin due to malnutrition, but his eyes were very bright.
'Is this... such a coincidence?'
Well, Wang Nan admitted that he had agreed to let Dai Yuheng visit the Duke's Mansion, and he had some thoughts in his mind about wanting to meet this person. After all, he had experienced a lot with this child in his previous life. But he never expected that he would actually meet him.
Dai Yaoheng followed Wang Nan's gaze and frowned slightly, "I wonder which servant in the mansion is..."
At this point, Dai Yuheng seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he changed his story, "I don't know who gave birth to this child, but my mother was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see him living on the streets, so she kept him and let him do some odd jobs."
"So that's how it is." Wang Nan nodded, looking like he really believed it.
Wang Nan followed Dai Yuheng and walked a few steps forward, when he suddenly felt someone's eyes falling on him.
His mental power was so sharp that he could determine the source almost instantly with such an unconcealed gaze.
Turning around suddenly, Wang Nan saw Huo Yuhao lowering his head in panic, his hands clenched, his body stiff, and he was obviously very nervous.
"What's wrong, junior brother?"
"nothing."
