Chapter 87 Chance Encounter
Outside the east gate of Shrek Academy, many vendors gathered on both sides of the road, selling all kinds of things, the most common of which were of course various foods.
Even among the talented disciples of Shrek Academy, there are inevitably some greedy people.
There are also some very young faces among the vendors. Most of them are students from poor families who come here to do some small business to earn some soul coins.
The most eye-catching one is a stall selling grilled fish. The stall is very small, with only a metal grill, some seasonings and 20 to 30 herrings besides the iron rack.
The stall owner was a very young boy. Although he was young, there was already a long line in front of the stall. Behind him stood two Shrek outer courtyard disciples, a boy and a girl, wearing purple school uniforms. They were whispering to each other.
Needless to say, the one selling grilled fish was Huo Yuhao, and behind him were naturally Bei Bei and Tang Ya.
Not long after, two young people, a man and a woman, arrived near the east gate of Shrek Academy.
The man was over meters tall, with medium-length black hair tied into a bun on top of his head, a silver-white crown on the outside, and a neat light-colored suit, which was tightly tied at the waist and cuffs, and the hem was embroidered with complex cloud patterns with golden silk thread. He had a handsome appearance and bright eyes.
The woman had long hair that reached down to her waist, a delicate face, and looked quite peaceful.
It was Wang Nan and Zhang Lexuan who came from Xingluo Empire. It took Wang Nan two days to absorb the sixth soul ring. When he and Zhang Lexuan took a short rest in the city near Haibin Port and returned to Shrek City, it was already this time.
After putting away the flying soul guide, Wang Nan walked on the road leading to the east gate of Shrek Academy and saw the queue from a distance.
He often meditated and practiced in front of the Poseidon Pavilion, so when he approached, he recognized Bei Bei behind the stall at a glance, and it was not difficult to guess the identities of the remaining two familiar-looking people.
Wang Nan didn't expect that after some changes, the three of them still got together and started selling grilled fish at the school gate.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or “God’s will”?
Wang Nan and Zhang Lexuan approached together, and Beibei also noticed something and looked up.
"Senior sister, senior brother." Beibei's good upbringing allowed her to take the initiative to say hello.
Bei Bei was extremely talented and had a great reputation in the outer courtyard. Although his voice was not loud, it was still heard by many of the disciples queuing around him. They all turned their heads to look at Wang Nan, wanting to see what kind of person could be called a senior brother or sister by Bei Bei.
Just at this glance, a burnt aroma could be smelled coming from the oven.
Huo Yuhao also quietly released his Spirit Eyes martial soul while grilling the fish, and controlled the heat with his mental power. But the moment he looked up, the fish-grilling movements in his hands became messed up.
There was a turmoil in Huo Yuhao’s sea of consciousness, and even the sleeping Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was awakened.
"Xiao Yuhao, what's wrong with you?"
"I, I'm fine, Brother Tianmeng. I just met someone very important to me."
"Hello, Senior Brother." Huo Yuhao raised his hand to wipe away the sparkling eyes. Wasn't it for this person that he agreed to let Tang Ya join Shrek Academy with the Tang Sect's exemption from examination?
Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao with some doubt. Although Huo Yuhao was still young, after spending a few days with him, he found that Huo Yuhao had a calmness that was inconsistent with his age. This was the first time he saw Huo Yuhao showing such strong emotions.
"Hello." Wang Nan nodded slightly, then looked at Huo Yuhao, "Is your mother okay?"
“Well, she’s fine. We, we now live near Xingluo City, and she’s doing well.” Huo Yuhao was a little incoherent. The spiritual power of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm emanated from his sea of spirituality, and the faint coolness finally calmed him down.
"That's good." Wang Nan looked up and saw that many people were looking at him. "You should entertain your guests first. Since we are here, we will meet sooner or later."
“Yeah.” Huo Yuhao nodded and picked up the grilled fish again, but his eyes looked towards Wang Nan from time to time.
Wang Nan also knew that Huo Yuhao would probably be upset with him being here, so he nodded to Bei Bei and left with Zhang Lexuan.
It was not until the two of them walked into the entrance of the academy that Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze and started to grill the green fish in his hand.
"Xiao Yuhao, do you know that senior student?" Tang Ya asked curiously. "Yes, I met him twice when I was a kid." Huo Yuhao replied while grilling fish.
"Then what's his name?"
“Name?” Huo Yuhao was stunned. Yes, he seemed to not know the name of that senior brother just now.
"That senior brother is a disciple from the inner courtyard, his name is Wang Nan." Bei Bei glanced at Tang Ya, "Why are you asking this?"
"I don't know." Tang Ya shook her head. "I don't know why, but when he looked at me just now, I felt that his eyes scared me a little bit."
Beibei's expression remained unchanged, but some doubts arose in her heart, and her eyes involuntarily drifted towards the academy.
As far as he knew, Wang Nan was not a vicious person, and he always looked gentle when he saw him. But Tang Ya would not lie to him, and there might be other reasons.
Wang Nanhe walked for a long time after entering the academy before he felt the gazes behind him gradually fade away.
"Do you know the student who was selling grilled fish just now?" It seemed that Zhang Lexuan also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere just now.
Wang Nan sighed deeply upon hearing this, and it was unclear what he was sighing about. "Yes, that was a poor child."
……
As usual, Wang Nan had a delicious dinner before returning to the dormitory to rest.
After a night, at dawn the next morning, he walked out of the room full of energy.
He came to the stairs and climbed up until a room appeared in front of him.
Wang Nan raised his hand and knocked on the door, and soon a pleasant voice came from inside.
"Wait a mininute."
The door opened, Ma Xiaotao stuck her head out, and raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw Wang Nan.
"Come in and sit down."
"No, remember what I said before?"
"You have obtained the sixth soul ring?" Ma Xiaotao said happily.
"Yeah, this time the harvest is pretty good."
"So you came here this time just for my martial soul?" Although Wang Nan's meaning was very clear, the problem that had troubled her for so long finally had a chance to be completely solved, so she confirmed it again.
"What is your current soul power level?"
"I'm already level 65." Ma Xiaotao paused and looked up at Wang Nan, "Am I practicing too fast?"
"No, that should be fine."
Every time Wang Nan absorbed a soul ring, he would increase his soul power by two levels more than other soul masters. Coupled with a hundred thousand year soul bone and a whole year of deep meditation, he finally managed to catch up with Ma Xiaotao. Now he is confident that he can solve Ma Xiaotao's problem.
