Chapter 28: She's the homeroom teacher?
The simplest way to conquer a woman is naturally to conquer her stomach or somewhere below.
The area below cannot be done yet, but after tasting a delicious grilled fish, Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao's relationship was naturally brought closer.
Knowing that Huo Yuhao was a freshman in this year's class, Ma Xiaotao volunteered to show him around the academy. At this moment, the two were strolling around Shrek Academy, chatting and laughing.
To be fair, Shrek Academy is indeed a beautiful place with a rich variety of lush vegetation. Walking along the wide avenues, no matter which direction you look, you can see at least ten different kinds of plants, all of which have clearly been carefully pruned.
But the most striking feature is not the vegetation on campus, but a group of sculptures. There are ten sculptures in total, each ten meters tall, carved from the hardest granite by the most skilled masters, and they are incredibly lifelike.
At the very center of this group of statues is a statue of Buddha Tang, with circles of blue vines coiled around his hands and a pure and innocent smile on his face, as if he is looking at Xiao Wu not far to his right.
Huo Yuhao casually glanced around at the most famous Shrek Seven Devils on Douluo Continent, his gaze lingering on Tang San for a few seconds before he indifferently looked away.
Of course, many students also respectfully bowed and paid their respects when passing by the group of statues of the original Shrek Seven Devils.
Throughout the journey, Ma Xiaotao fulfilled her role as a guide very well, explaining to Huo Yuhao in detail all the important points about Shrek Academy's outer courtyard.
"Senior Ma, so you're an inner court disciple? That's amazing!"
Seeing the puppy's adoring look, Ma Xiaotao smiled smugly and said, "Just call me Sister Xiaotao. As for the Inner Academy, I believe you can get in, Yuhao. By the way, let me give you a hint: the Inner Academy is the real Shrek Academy. You can only learn the real stuff there."
"Haha... No, no, I might get expelled one day because I failed an exam."
"Haha, I've never heard of an academy daring to expel a genius who has already reached the Soul Venerable level at the age of 11. Even that freakish old hag Zhou Yi wouldn't do such a thing... By the way, Yuhao, I haven't asked yet, what is your Martial Soul?"
There was nothing to hide, Huo Yuhao said frankly, "My martial soul is an eye, which I call the Spirit Eye."
"Eyes? No wonder they're so beautiful..." Ma Xiaotao almost let slip, then quickly corrected herself: "Uh, I meant a very good martial soul. A true martial soul, with a lot of potential."
Is it just my imagination?
Ma Xiaotao was also wondering to herself. The gentle and warm feeling that Xiao Yuhao had, and the cool and comfortable feeling that she felt from Huo Yuhao, wasn't he a water-attribute martial soul?
But looking at Huo Yuhao's extremely handsome profile, Ma Xiaotao swallowed her questions.
Forget it, just looking at Xiaoyuhao's face makes her feel like she needs to eat three extra bowls of rice. What more could she ask for?
They chatted casually as they arrived at the freshman teaching building. After receiving their dormitory keys, two sets of school uniforms, and a white freshman badge, Huo Yuhao followed Ma Xiaotao out of the freshman teaching building.
Upon seeing a notice on the bulletin board not far away, Ma Xiaotao frowned in surprise.
"The homeroom teacher of Class 10, freshmen is Zhang Lexuan. Sister Lexuan, she..."
Class 10 of the new students?
Huo Yuhao looked at Ma Xiaotao, puzzled. Because he had registered late, he had been assigned to Class 10. Judging from Ma Xiaotao's tone, it seemed she knew this Zhang Lexuan?
"What's wrong, Sister Tao? Do you know this teacher named Zhang Lexuan?"
Ma Xiaotao gave a wry smile: "Xiao Yuhao, you're very lucky. Sister Lexuan is the senior sister of our inner courtyard disciples, and she's a great beauty too."
Huo Yuhao gave a helpless twitch of his lips. What was the connection between them?
"The senior disciple of the inner academy... that's Shrek Academy's top disciple, right? Then why is she here as a class teacher in the outer academy?"
"..."
Ma Xiaotao was silent for a moment, then spoke with some embarrassment: "This was a tragedy that happened almost two years ago among the inner court disciples. The specific details were kept very secret by the academy's higher-ups, and I don't know much about it either. I only heard a few words from my teacher."
"That was the most devastating loss since the establishment of Shrek Academy's inner court. Of the twelve elite inner court disciples, only the eldest sister, who had advanced to the Soul Douluo level at the time, survived."
Huo Yuhao was shocked. Only one of the twelve people survived?!
The inner court disciples must be at least Soul Emperor level or higher, right? What kind of disaster could wipe out twelve Soul Emperor level experts in one fell swoop? Isn't Shrek Academy supposed to be a holy land for Soul Masters? What force could have dealt such a severe blow to it?
Huo Yuhao thought about it and figured there must be a mole. Otherwise, even twelve pigs would know to run away.
Ma Xiaotao sighed: "The dead are gone, but the living must continue... But this heavy pressure has been weighing on Sister Lexuan. She, the number one genius of Shrek Academy, has also been in a slump in the past two years. Perhaps the higher-ups couldn't bear to see her like this anymore, so they sent her to the outer academy as a teacher to relieve her pressure."
Thinking back to when she saw Sister Lexuan before, with her lifeless eyes and zombie-like appearance, Ma Xiaotao felt a pang of heartache.
The burden of the deaths of eleven companions on one's shoulders is suffocating.
She greatly admired Zhang Lexuan, and had received much guidance from her in the inner courtyard. In her heart, she truly regarded her as her older sister.
She subconsciously looked at Huo Yuhao beside her, and instinctively met his big, sky-blue eyes.
I hope Sister Lexuan can cheer up...
After escorting Huo Yuhao back to his dormitory, Ma Xiaotao went back to the inner courtyard first, and they agreed to meet again in a few days.
The dormitory building of the Foreign Languages Department covers a very large area. Although it is only one building, it has four colors: white, yellow, purple and black, which represent the living areas of students of different grades. It has a total of six floors.
Upon arriving at the dormitory building entrance, I saw an elderly man sitting there. He was dressed in a gray cloth robe, his face was covered in wrinkles, his eyes were dim and yellow, and his eyelids drooped, giving him the appearance of someone nearing the end of his life.
The sunlight between the buildings fell perfectly on him, and the reclining chair looked quite comfortable.
Huo Yuhao stepped forward, bowed, and greeted him: "Hello, grandpa, this is my dormitory number and key."
The old man slightly opened his closed eyes, glanced around, and then spoke in a somewhat hoarse and low voice: "Go ahead. The fourth floor and up is the girls' dormitory. You can't go up there. If you are caught, you will be expelled."
"understood."
Huo Yuhao glanced at the old man, then walked into the dormitory on his own.
"Eleven years old with level thirty-six soul power, and such a polite child, that's truly rare..."
