Orange looked at him with a playful look and said, "Actually... I didn't have breakfast either. I was concentrating on engraving, but the smell of your grilled fish distracted me."
"Look, junior, can you let me have a bite of your grilled fish?"
Huo Yuhao smiled calmly: "Senior sister, I have already taken a bite of this grilled fish, how can I give it to you? And if I give it to you, what will I eat?"
"I... I can eat the part you haven't bitten." Orange thought for a moment, and suddenly an orange appeared out of thin air in his hand. "I'll treat you to an orange, as an exchange, how about it?"
Feeling the faint fluctuation of soul power on the orange, Huo Yuhao was stunned.
Senior Orange’s martial spirit is orange?
This is too true to its name...
Huo Yuhao did not refuse. He took the orange and took out two grilled fish from his belt and handed them back to her.
"Okay, I agree, deal done."
Orange took the grilled fish happily. She didn't rush to eat it. She first put it next to her nose to smell it, then carefully put it into her mouth and gently bit off a piece of fish.
The fish meat feels slightly cold when it touches the tip of your tongue, but its original deliciousness cannot be concealed.
After just one bite, Orange's body felt like it was electrocuted. After a brief moment of shock, he began to eat in big mouthfuls.
She ate very quickly at first, then gradually slowed down, chewing every bite hard and carefully.
Tears covered Orange's eyes at some point, quietly slipped from the corners of her eyes and dripped onto the grilled fish.
Huo Yuhao of course noticed Orange's mood changes and was greatly shocked.
He had sold so many grilled fish and knew it was delicious, but this was the first time he had made someone cry after eating it.
"Senior Orange, what's wrong with you?" he asked with concern.
"No... nothing." Orange wiped her tears and said, "I just didn't expect to taste my dad again."
Huo Yuhao had a strange look on his face.
If we delve deeper into this sentence, there are three or four different interpretations.
Orange continued sadly, "My father was once a very good chef, and his dishes are my favorite. This grilled fish has his flavor. Although I haven't eaten it for ten years, I will never forget it."
ten years?
Huo Yuhao felt that there was something behind this, so he asked, "So where is he now?"
Orange's sorrow became even more intense, and her tears burst out again: "It was the war that killed him and destroyed my family. Ten years ago, my father was forcibly conscripted to the front line and never came back in the war with the Star Luo Empire. My mother also left me three years later."
"I am an orphan now."
After hearing Orange talk about his life story, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but fall into silence.
Who was right and who was wrong in the war between the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire? No one could tell.
He was about to speak to comfort Orange when the door of the laboratory opened again.
Three students, two men and one woman, entered the laboratory and saw Orange crying, and then saw Huo Yuhao.
The girl immediately screamed, "Who are you? How dare you bully Orange?"
"No, seniors, I..."
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to explain, one of the male students rushed in front of him.
"Boy, you're asking for a fight!"
Huo Yuhao’s face turned cold.
He felt that he had been too good-tempered recently.
Chapter 199: A show of force
The attacker was a handsome young man with long golden hair. His pretty face was filled with anger, and his right fist was heading straight for Huo Yuhao's face.
Huo Yuhao had no expression on his face. He simply raised his right hand and casually caught his fist. He said coldly, “Senior, please calm down. The academy has a rule that fighting is prohibited in the laboratory.”
The handsome young man did not expect Huo Yuhao to have so much strength. He tried to pull back his right hand, but it felt like it was clamped by a pair of pliers.
As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, a petite girl next to him screamed, “Don’t try to get close to me. Who are your seniors? Who are you and why are you bullying Orange?”
She put her hands on her hips and questioned Huo Yuhao aggressively.
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "I am Teacher Xuan's new student. I did not bully Senior Sister Juzi. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
The petite girl still insisted: "If you didn't bully her, why would she cry so sadly?"
At this moment, Orange's crying calmed down a little. She looked at the two of them and said, "Keke, Zimu, I'm fine. I just thought of some sad things. His name is Huo Yuhao, and he is indeed Teacher Xuan's new student."
The petite girl called Keke and the handsome boy called Zimu were both stunned, and the hostility in their eyes subsided a little.
Huo Yuhao loosened his right hand and Zi Mu quickly retracted his fist.
Just now, neither of them released their martial spirits, but relied on pure physical strength.
But Zimu is far from being Huo Yuhao's opponent.
Orange was no longer so sad. After eating Huo Yuhao's grilled fish, the distance between her and Huo Yuhao became much closer and they were no longer as unfamiliar as at the beginning.
She introduced them to Huo Yuhao: “These three are also Teacher Xuan’s students, Keke, Zimu and Wang Shaojie.”
Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to the last male student, who was naturally Wang Shaojie.
He is tall, dark-skinned, and is at least two meters tall.
The first time Huo Yuhao saw Wang Shaojie, the image of He Cai Tou came to his mind.
Wang Shaojie just glanced at Huo Yuhao and pointed at the fourth-level soul master badge on his chest with disdain: "Boy, you are only a fourth-level soul master. Did you use the back door to let Teacher Xuan take you in?"
Huo Yuhao had an indifferent expression and said calmly, "I will soon be level five."
Wang Shaojie laughed: "Even if you are Mr. Xuan's student, if you want to enter the laboratory, do you need our consent?"
Huo Yuhao said in a cold voice: "Isn't it enough as long as Teacher Xuan agrees? Why do I need your consent?"
"Since Teacher Xuan is not here, I have the final say in the laboratory." Wang Shaojie suddenly stretched out his right hand, pressed hard on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, and pushed hard.
But he miraculously discovered that Huo Yuhao's body did not move at all.
Wang Shaojie continued to increase his strength, but his right hand still could not move forward at all.
He was a big man, not only a head taller than Huo Yuhao, but also much bigger in physique, but he just couldn't push the tiny thing in his eyes.
Huo Yuhao looked at him coldly.
During the time he was in the Body Sect, his physical fitness improved a lot.
Every now and then, the old man would send him into the ice lake for a deep-water test, using the huge water pressure to help him build up his body.
Under such cruel training, his physical fitness improved rapidly, but unfortunately it had not yet reached the level of the second awakening.
Huo Yuhao had already seen that although the students in front of him were all Soul Kings, their physical strength was far inferior to his own. If they did not release their martial spirits or use soul guides, they would not be his opponents at all.
The other three looked at Wang Shaojie with strange expressions.
Wang Shaojie looked grim at this moment.
His brows were furrowed, and the muscles on his right arm were tightened and stretched straight, but he could not move Huo Yuhao at all.
He wanted to show his junior fellow student a little bit of power, but his tall stature was weak inside, and now it seemed like he was losing face no matter how he looked at it.
Ju Zi came back to his senses and said, "Wang Shaojie, stop it now."
Wang Shaojie turned a deaf ear to Orange's dissuasion and wanted to continue to be angry, but was stopped by another majestic voice.
"Wang Shaojie, what are you doing?"
Xuan Ziwen returned to the laboratory at some point and said with some displeasure.
Wang Shaojie then retracted his right hand and said with a smile: "Teacher Xuan, we just want to build a good relationship with the new student."
Xuan Ziwen knew that Wang Shaojie wanted to give the newcomer a warning, so he said calmly, "Classmates should help each other and be more tolerant of each other when there are conflicts."
Several students responded, “Yes.”
"Okay, everyone do your own thing. If you have any questions, ask me." Xuan Ziwen said, then sat down at the laboratory table and continued his research.
The five students also took their seats. Huo Yuhao specifically chose a seat in the corner, far away from the other four.
He handed the core array of the fifth-level soul guide he had just engraved to Xuan Ziwen: "Teacher Xuan, can I break through to the fifth level?"
Xuan Ziwen took the core array with some surprise, flipped it over in his hand several times, nodded and said: "It is very well done. With this core array, you can not only break through to the fifth-level soul mentor, but also be fully qualified to enter Mingde Hall."
Hearing this, the other four people couldn't help but look sideways at Huo Yuhao.
Although they were also level 5 soul mentors, they were not qualified to enter Mingde Hall. Zi Mu was qualified, but gave up for some reason.
There was a hint of viciousness in Wang Shaojie's eyes when he looked at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao smiled and asked Xuan Ziwen, "When do you think I can enter Mingde Hall?"
Xuan Ziwen nodded and said, "Wait a few days. I can only give you access for three days a week at most."
One can only enter Mingde Hall three days a week, and this result is acceptable to Huo Yuhao.
Mingde Hall is so large that there are many places that cannot be reached by spiritual detection. It is definitely impossible to find the Xuedi embryo without attracting the attention of outsiders in the short term.
I can't contact the insider privately, so it's impossible to ask someone to ask him directly, right?
Huo Yuhao felt that he still had to rely on his own subjective initiative. He now suspected that the Snow Queen embryo would be hidden near Jing Hongchen's office. But without evidence, he could only slowly collect information.
Huo Yuhao was thinking about his next plan when he saw a graceful figure quietly sitting next to him. He couldn't help but turn his head to look.
It's an orange.
He asked, "Juzi-senpai, what's the matter?"
Orange showed a mischievous smile and said, "I'm so sorry, Junior Yuhao. Your grilled fish is so delicious and tastes so much like my father's, so I couldn't help myself. It's a pity that you were misunderstood by them."
"It's nothing, I don't care." Huo Yuhao said calmly.
"Although Keke and Zimu are a little impulsive, once you get to know them for a long time, you will find that they are actually very good to their friends." Juzi smiled slightly, "But you have to be careful of Wang Shaojie, he is a petty person who will take revenge for any slight, and he is also a member of the royal family."
"I heard that he was able to study with Teacher Xuan because of a backdoor."
Huo Yuhao smiled nonchalantly and said, “It’s okay. I can understand such people.”
He added silently in his mind.
