Elder Qian Yu's eyes flickered with surprise as he slowly released Huo Yuhao and stared intently into his deep blue eyes, "You know everything?"
Huo Yuhao nodded earnestly, "Yes, Elder Qian Yu, no matter how much I think about it, I've only come to this conclusion."
In his heart, however, he secretly thought, "It looks like I was right, Elder Qian Yu indeed has feelings for Wang Dong!"
Even though Huo Yuhao really couldn't understand why Elder Qian Yu would fall for Wang Dong…
The Skydream Ice Silkworm was astonished, "No way, little Yuhao actually guessed it right?"
The Ice Emperor raised an eyebrow in turn, "There's actually such a situation? We soul beasts have never heard of this, but no wonder Elder Qian Yu has such a murderous intent towards Yuhao."
Turning back to Elder Qian Yu, a thoughtful glint crossed his dark eyes…
Could it be that Wang Dong told Huo Yuhao about what had happened between them before?
Since he didn't harbor those feelings for Wang Dong, after figuring things out, did he decide to clear the misunderstandings between them and only now tell him everything to avoid further confusion?
Seeing Elder Qian Yu lost in thought, Huo Yuhao patted his shoulder and said, "Elder Qian Yu, don't worry. I won't tell anyone about your feelings for Wang Dong. After all, I believe that as long as two people are in love, gender doesn't matter."
Elder Qian Yu heard this and realized the situation might not be what he initially thought…
He looked coldly at Huo Yuhao, "Huo Yuhao, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Huo Yuhao was taken aback, thinking that Elder Qian Yu might not have understood his previous words, and clarified directly, "I mean, I won't tell others about you liking Wang Dong who is also a man!"
"Wang Dong, who is also a man?" Upon hearing these words, Elder Qian Yu's eyes once again flashed with a cold light…
This guy seems to know nothing after all…
"Get lost!" Elder Qian Yu snorted coldly, his body bursting with terrifying Divine Power as he sent Huo Yuhao flying into a wall before leaving directly…
Huo Yuhao clutched his back, looking puzzled at Elder Qian Yu who walked away,
He wondered, "Brother Tianmeng, Ice Emperor, I shouldn't have guessed wrong, right? But why did Elder Qian Yu still attack me?"
The Skydream Ice Silkworm shook its head, "I don't know. Maybe it was the part about you mentioning liking men that angered him."
The Ice Emperor spoke up, "However, the murderous intent Elder Qian Yu showed towards you, Yuhao, has indeed dissipated quite a bit compared to the previous times!"
The Skydream Ice Silkworm sighed, "Well, that's a blessing in disguise, I guess. As long as you are careful from now on, Elder Qian Yu probably won't attack you again. Additionally, you should try not to use your Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Wang Dong in front of him!"
Huo Yuhao said gravely, "I understand, Brother Tianmeng."
So were his and Elder Qian Yu's misunderstandings resolved?
…
When Elder Qian Yu reached the entrance of Shrek Academy, all the inner court students who passed by respectfully greeted him, "Elder Qian Yu!"
Elder Qian Yu nodded slightly, "Hmm."
He then walked towards Bei Bei and the others who were waiting for him…
Hearing the inner court students, the outer courtyard disciples were all shocked, incredulous, "Inner court senior, why are you calling that man, who isn't even twenty, Elder Qian Yu??"
Another outer courtyard disciple swallowed hard, "Could it be that he became an Elder of Shrek Academy at such a young age? Just how terrifying is Elder Qian Yu's strength?"
An inner court student chuckled and patiently explained, "You're from the outer courtyard, so it's normal for you not to know. His name is Qian Yu, and he was just promoted to being an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion a few days ago."
On hearing this inner court student's words, the faces of those outer courtyard disciples lit up with joy…
"Just an outer courtyard student? Doesn't that mean we also have a chance?"
"Yeah, if he's just an outer courtyard student, his soul power rank can't be that high! We should be able to do it too!"
"Right, right, I also want to apply to become an Elder!"
The inner court students all covered their mouths and laughed, reminding them, "My younger friends, don't make me laugh. A monster genius like Elder Qian Yu, not even twenty years old, has already reached the terrifying rank of an Eightieth Level Soul Douluo, and has also become a level 8 soul master! Are you sure you're qualified?"
Upon hearing this, the outer courtyard disciples all gasped...
Eight-ringed Soul Douluo…
Soul Douluo...
Douluo...
What the hell, are they even human?? Completely shattered all their fantasies completely!
...
Qian Yu looked at Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi who followed along, with not a hint of surprise in his eyes...
Ma Xiaotao blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "How does it feel, Qian Yu, to be called an Elder by those people? Comfortable?"
Qian Yu said lightly, "It's alright."
Beside him, Xu Sanshi said with full envy, "Eh, when can someone call me an Elder?"
Jiang Nannan mercilessly burst his bubble, "Xu Sanshi, you should stop dreaming about that."
Upon hearing his most beloved woman say such things, Xu Sanshi said with grief and indignation, "Nannan, how can you crush my confidence like this?"
Bei Bei, noticing everyone had arrived, spoke up, "Alright, let's not talk too much. We're still a distance away from Sunset Forest, let's set off quickly."
He urgently wanted to pick some Immortal Herbs to help Tang Ya regain consciousness...
The others all nodded, "Mm!"
The next moment, they all burst out at their fastest speed toward Sunset Forest...
...
Several hours later, the group of five finally arrived at the edge of the Sunset Forest...
They then entered the Sunset Forest and started to explore further inside...
Ma Xiaotao's expression grew serious as she cautioned, "Everyone be careful. Although the dangers of the Sunset Forest aren't as great as the Aquipeia Forest, occasionally soul beasts of eighty to ninety thousand years can appear."
"Mm!"
For safety, the group arranged themselves in this order:
Qian Yu, Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, Xu Sanshi!
Qian Yu, at the forefront, released a terrifying divine power, spreading it around him...
In just a moment, the movements of everything and every soul beast around them were exposed in Qian Yu's mind...
He then coldly said, "There are two soul beasts with sixty thousand years of cultivation battling ahead!"
Bei Bei frowned, "Two soul beasts with sixty thousand years of cultivation, let's go around them."
Ma Xiaotao shook her head, "No need, let's just push through!"
They were only two sixty thousand year soul beasts. If they were to make a move, at their current combined strength, it would only take a few seconds to settle the matter!
The group advanced quietly, their suppressed soul power fluctuations not affecting the battling soul beasts...
As they went deeper, the originally vibrant plants and trees began to turn yellow and withered...
The cultivation level of the soul beasts in the vicinity also reached the level of ten-thousand-year soul beasts...
It was rather like entering the depths of the Aquipeia Forest...
Suddenly, Qian Yu's eyes narrowed and he said coldly, "I can sense it! A massive poison gas not far ahead, if inhaled, is enough to kill a Soul Sage Level Soul Master!"
The expressions of the others turned ugly...
Kill a Soul Sage Level?
That meant it could kill everyone here except Qian Yu!
