Chapter 39 Meeting Yuhao for the First Time
Time always flies by, especially for soul masters who are addicted to practice. Cold comes and summer comes, spring passes and autumn comes, and another year is coming to an end.
It was rare for Shrek Academy to rain lightly, making the entire academy feel a little colder. Wang Nan was walking outside the college holding an umbrella in the rain.
He wants to take advantage of this winter vacation to obtain the fourth soul ring.
Since receiving the right arm bone, Wang Nan's physical strength has also increased rapidly. He estimates that the life of the soul ring he can withstand this time should be longer than that of ordinary soul sects, about six thousand to eight thousand years.
Soul beasts of this age are relatively rare in the outer areas of the Star Dou Forest. Maybe when the time comes to go deep into the mixed area, it would be safer to go home and call his father together.
At the entrance of the college, a luxurious carriage was parked here. Wang Nan glanced at it and stopped looking at it. Just as he was about to walk past, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"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 turns out to be Senior Brother Dai."
Dai Yueheng got off the carriage and came to Wang Nan. A strong man behind him stepped forward and held up a big umbrella.
"It starts raining and I don't know when it will stop. If Junior Brother Wang doesn't mind, you can come to my car and we can go back together."
Dai Yueheng looked at Wang Nan with a faint smile on his face.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Dai. This little rain is nothing. I'll just walk back."
"Junior Brother Wang, you're welcome. You and I are both classmates, and..." At this point, Dai Yueheng lowered his voice and quietly glanced at Wang Nan, "Since that time, I have been looking for an opportunity to say goodbye to Junior Brother. Thank you. It’s just that my junior brother missed the Soul Fighting Competition and is busy with school work, so it’s rare to see him. I just took this opportunity to express my gratitude.”
Wang Nan saw that Dai Yueheng was not being polite, but was really inviting him. Besides, riding in the car together was not a big deal, so he agreed and followed him into the carriage.
I don't know whether it was the material of the carriage or what was placed in the carriage, but Wang Nan felt warm as soon as he got into the carriage.
"When this carriage was made, some Chiling Warm Jade was installed inside." Dai Yueheng took the initiative to explain, "When my mother gave me this gift, I was still young. My mother was afraid that I would catch cold, so she installed some. I rarely used it afterwards.”
"Oh, why is this?" When Wang Nan saw Dai Yueheng looking at him, he consciously started to praise him.
"Junior brother, you don't know something. Although I was born in the Duke's Palace, my father has been strict with me since I was a child. Before I could awaken my martial soul, my father asked me to fight some low-life soul beasts. Later, I got the first soul. After that, he joined the army with his father and rarely used this carriage. "
Dai Yueheng recalled with emotion for a while, and then brought the topic to Wang Nan, "When I was on a mission last time, I saw that my junior brother was very quick and agile. Did my junior brother have such an experience when he was a child?"
"At that time, I just saw the tragic situation, and I was so angry that I didn't think much about it. Looking back afterwards, I was a little scared." Wang Nan explained half-truthfully.
"Junior brother is really righteous." Dai Yueheng nodded, "The first time I went on the battlefield was during the war with the Sun and Moon Empire. Their soul guides are still fresh in my memory."
While watching Wang Nan's reaction, Dai Yueheng brought the topic to the soul guide. He knew that Wang Nan, unlike other Shrek students, had been interested in soul guides from the beginning.
After all, he is the heir to the Duke of White Tiger. Dai Yueheng 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, these things are at his fingertips.
The carriage drove for a day and a night. Apart from meditating, Dai Yaoheng spent the rest of the time looking for topics to talk about. The two of them actually had a good time talking.
"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 the three characters "Duke's Palace" written on the archway several feet high.
"Arrived so soon?" Dai Yueheng said in surprise, "It seems that my junior brother and I have a tacit understanding, and we have been chatting for so long without knowing it." Wang Nan just smiled.
Along the way, Dai Yueheng either talked about the development of soul guides or about food from various places. It was all content that Wang Nan liked to hear, and it was obviously prepared in advance. He didn't notice it at first, but along the way he could still feel that Dai Yueheng was deliberately befriending him.
"Junior brother, since you are here, why don't you stop by my house and have a seat." Dai Yueheng got off the carriage and came to Wang Nan, "My mother has always taught me to entertain guests well. If you leave now, what will happen to my mother when she returns? Tell me."
"You don't want to see me, senior brother, being scolded by my mother, right?"
Seeing this posture, Wang Nan knew that he could not evade it, so he agreed according to Dai Yueheng's words.
Entering the gate of the Duke's Palace and walking through the courtyard, you will see a stone path in front of you, with green bamboos planted on both sides.
Dai Yueheng whispered something to the guard beside him, and then quickly came to Wang Nan's side.
"I have just arranged for someone to prepare a simple meal. I will take my junior brother around the house first, and I will send someone to take him back later."
"Then thank you, Senior Brother Dai." Even though he was here, he didn't miss a meal, so Wang Nan no longer refused.
"It should be like this." Dai Yueheng said with a smile, "Junior brother, look, these are soul-quenching bamboos. Although they are not considered a natural treasure, having more of them around can make people energetic."
Dai Yueheng introduced him as he walked, and everyone else he met on the road lowered their heads to avoid him. Wang Nan also experienced the treatment of being "superior" with Dai Yueheng. Until a boy appeared in front of me.
This is a side hospital. When Dai Yueheng came over, all the servants bowed their heads and stood aside. There was a child who looked six or seven years old with them. 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 agreed to Dai Yueheng's visit to the Duke's Mansion, and he also had some thoughts in his heart about meeting this person. After all, he had experienced a lot with this child in his previous life. But I didn't expect to actually see it.
Dai Yueheng followed Wang Nan's gaze and frowned slightly, "This is a servant in the mansion who I don't know..."
At this point, Dai Yueheng seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he changed his explanation, "I don't know who gave birth to the child. My mother was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to let him live on the street, so she kept him to do some chores."
"So that's it." Wang Nan nodded, looking like he really believed this statement.
Wang Nan followed Dai Yueheng and walked a few steps forward, when he suddenly felt a gaze falling on him.
How sharp his mental power was, and with such an unconcealed gaze, he determined the source almost instantly.
Turning around suddenly, Wang Nan saw Huo Yuhao lowering his head in panic, clenching his hands, and his whole body was stiff, obviously very nervous.
"What's wrong, junior brother?"
"nothing."
