Chapter 70: An unhappy journey

Chapter 70 An unhappy journey
"Xingluo City?" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard the name.

Mr. Xuan looked at him with some doubts, "Is there any problem? The continent-wide advanced soul master academies soul fighting competition is held in the capitals of various countries in turn. This time it is the turn of the Star Luo Empire. The next one, that is, you may be... The first session of the main selection will be held in the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire. At that time, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy will be the home field. Therefore, in the next five years, you must put in more efforts."

Huo Yuhao did not say anything more, but Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao who were standing beside him could clearly feel his emotional fluctuations.

They know it, but they won’t ask any more questions.

After parting with He Caitou, everyone went back to their own place.

After returning to the dormitory, Su Yu was still concentrating on carving his own soul guide formation, leaving Wang Dong aside.

"You obviously have the ability, why do you refuse to participate in the competition?" Wang Dong asked, looking at Su Yu's focused look.

"Oh, I know."

"Are you listening to me, you bastard!" Wang Dong listened to Su Yu's answer and always felt that Su Yu was just perfunctorily answering him.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Su Yu put down the carving knife in his hand and caught the pillow thrown to him.

Looking at Su's absent-minded look, Wang Dong didn't know why he just wanted to beat him up. From beginning to end, Su had been slacking off, and the only time he took action was when he was stabbed in the back by Chen Zifeng.

No matter what, Su Yu's strength is still obvious to all. Although Wang Dong is not clear about the extent of Su Yu's strength now, his intuition tells him that Su Yu's strength is definitely not much different from Beibei, Jiang Nannan and others, especially after Su Yu has the third soul ring.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry today, Squad Leader Wang?" He sat down beside Wang Dong's bed and put the pillow back to its original position.

Looking at Su Yu who had stopped working, Wang Dong pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why did you take a break today, Su Yu? You usually never take a break, for fear of wasting a little time."

Looking at Wang Dong's pretended surprise, Su Yu said helplessly: "There is nothing I can do. If I don't work harder, I will be surpassed by Squad Leader Wang. I am under a lot of pressure."

"Hey, look outside the window, is there anything flying in the sky?" As he said this, Wang Dong pretended to look over there.

Seeing Wang Dong actually leaning over to look, Su knew that this guy was definitely fooling him, but he still cooperated and looked over, "What? Why didn't I see it?"

"Oh, I see. It turns out you were just bragging." Wang Dong laughed and retracted his head.

"I'm too lazy to play tricks on you. Why don't I take you out for a walk? Go or not, if you don't want to go, forget it."

Su Yu asked as he straightened Wang Dong's wrinkled collar.

Wang Dong immediately got up from the bed, put on his shoes quickly, and pulled Su Yu out.

Seeing Wang Dong so overjoyed, Su Yu knew that he might have neglected the young master for other reasons during this period, otherwise he would be so anxious. "Let's go and take a walk in Shrek City."

Holding Wang Dong's hand, I walked in Shrek City, and met two familiar people, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.

"Master Dai, long time no see." Su Yu greeted him symbolically, and Dai Huabin also responded.

Looking at the two people holding hands, Dai Huabin's face was a little unnatural. Although he was holding hands with Zhu Lu, it was better than Su Yu and Wang Dong, two grown men holding hands. "I didn't expect it. It turns out that we met when we were young. If I hadn't checked your background later, I really wouldn't have thought that the eldest son of the Su family, who is famous in the Xingluo Empire, actually went to Shrek Academy."

"What? Are you still unwilling to accept that you lost to me?" Listening to Dai Huabin's words, Su Yu could clearly feel that Dai Huabin was more or less resentful.

Dai Huabin did not explain too much, but simply said: "I may not accept losing to others, but don't forget that you were also defeated by me in the past."

In Su's memory, there was indeed a memory of being invited by the Dai family to attend a dinner party, but it was too long ago, and it seemed that he had almost forgotten the previous experience, so Su Yu never expected that he would have any intersection with Dai Huabin.

Now that Dai Huabin has awakened him, his mind has been able to reconnect the almost forgotten memories.

The two did not talk much. Dai Huabin understood the principle of weighing the pros and cons. As for Su Yu, Dai Huabin really could not afford to offend him. In fact, in the entire Xingluo Empire, there were few people who dared to offend Su Yu. What's more, Su's father doted on Su Yu unduly and was afraid that something might happen to Su.

If something happened to Mr. Su, the Dai family might really lose the Su family, an important partner. By then, the entire Duke's Mansion would not be able to rely on the royal family's salary to survive...

Taking Wang Dong, we strolled around in Shrek City and played for an entire afternoon. Even when it was getting dark, Wang Dong still felt unsatisfied.

If it hadn't been getting dark, Wang Dong really wanted to play with Su Yu for a while longer.

After all, he didn't want to waste his hard-earned time...

In the early morning, a group of people walked out of the main entrance of Shrek Academy, which was covered with a layer of morning mist. Judging from their age, they should be students of Shrek Academy, but they were not wearing school uniforms at this time. Some were wearing cloth clothes, some were wearing fancy clothes, all different.

Gorgeous clothes do not mean beautiful, and common clothes do not mean mediocre. The most representative ones are Yao Haoxuan and Jiang Nannan.

Yao Haoxuan, who was dressed in fine clothes, still looked a bit wretched because of his thin figure, while Jiang Nannan, who was dressed in common clothes, was still unparalleled in beauty.

Looking at Yao Haoxuan's expression, Su Yu really couldn't bear it. As expected, those who were not the protagonists and were not handsome had to get box lunches...

However, before I had walked for long, I heard the passionate conversation between Xu Sanshi and Beibei.

Xu Sanshi immediately put down his hand and said angrily: "Are we brothers? Or are we not brothers? You know how to gloat and add insult to injury. As soon as Xiaoya is gone, your true nature will be revealed."

Beibei said in surprise: "You want to talk to me about brotherhood now? I remember you said that you would stick a knife in your brother's ribs for him, but you would stick a knife in your brother's ribs for a woman!"

Xu Sanshi was not ashamed at all. He raised his head and said, "A woman can give birth to a child for me, can you? A woman can sleep on the same bed with me, can you?"

Beibei said with a warm smile, "It's not possible in the front, but it's OK in the back."

…………

Anyway, if these two guys start their own families in the future, Su Yu can only say that for Xu Sanshi and Beibei, wives are accidents, and the love between them is true love...

If some things are not deliberately influenced, the timeline will not change, because Huo Yuhao was practicing alone, and began to practice the Tang Sect's unique skills with Cai Tou and Xiao Xiao.

Sure enough, not long after he left, he was drafted into the army. When Old Xuan was lamenting about Shrek Academy, Su really didn't want to listen to his nagging, because he had read this set of words countless times when he read the novel.

When they were on their way, Su took out the fourth-level flying soul guide and thrusters that Orange had given him without saying a word.

The thrusters were installed on the waist and legs, so it was not a problem for the flying soul guide to carry Wang Dong, not to mention that Su Yu was already a three-ring soul master.

He stretched out his hands and supported Wang Dong's armpits, then jumped up and ran away quickly. Looking at the soul guide device behind Su Yu that was emitting a powerful air wave, everyone began to take it seriously.

"Wang Dong, you pig should lose weight. You are so heavy."

Originally, Wang Dong should have been held under the armpits, but in order to prevent Wang Dong from having any stress reaction, he was simply held in his arms.

Su was secretly delighted, while Wang Dong buried his head in Su Yu's shoulder with a blushing face, refusing to look up at Su Yu.

Huo Yuhao and Dai Yueheng were still chatting hypocritically, and Huo was still saying nice things, but in fact he had already wanted to kill them in his heart.

With the soul guide specially made for Su Yu by Orange, Su Yu's soul power consumption was not great. When the journey ended, Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi, and Beibei were already exhausted and out of breath.

Especially Beibei and Xu Sanshi, they were exhausted...

Xu Sanshi, who possessed the Mysterious Turtle Martial Spirit, was now truly exhausted like a turtle, lying on the ground with his four legs up in the air, refusing to move at all.

Bei Bei at the side did not forget to mock: "You really look like a turtle that has turned over. You really deserve to be the Mysterious Nether Turtle Soul Master! Hahahaha..."

Except for the fact that Su Yu consumed a little more energy, everything else was normal. When Ma Xiaotao suggested that Huo cook, Su Yu had already asked Wang Dong and He Cai Tou to start a fire.

"Su Yu, where did you get your fourth-level soul guide? It doesn't seem to be the method used by our Shrek people." He Caitou said while looking at the soul guide behind Su Yu.

"Oh, you are talking about this. Last time when I went home, I saw a batch of soul guides from the Sun-Moon Empire, so I took some of them here." Su Yu couldn't tell the truth.

While everyone's eyes were on Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong had already started eating contentedly, while Yao Haoxuan, who was asking for trouble and was talking nonsense, was hung on a tree by Old Xuan.

When Su Yu kindly let him down, the stove on Huo Yuhao's side was already empty.

Su is not such a heartless person. After all, this despicable auxiliary soul master described in the original novel was killed by the forced plot without even a clear explanation of what his martial soul was.

Although Mr. Su is not sure what his martial soul is, based on Yao Haoxuan's performance, it may be a lion or some rare species.

After putting Gong Yangmo down, Su Yu kindly invited him to eat some. In fact, Yao Haoxuan was just a little short. He was not ugly in terms of appearance, but the clothes he was wearing were a little too unsuitable for him, so the conflict between the two made him look a little wretched.

After everyone had finished eating, Su was still leisurely eating the skewers and drinking the delicious soup.

Short of money? Sorry, if anyone robs Su once, he probably won't have to worry about the rest of his life, not to mention any soul master, even a Titled Douluo will be the same!
Are you arrogant?
That’s right, Mr. Su is so arrogant.

"No, why is there still someone cooking?" Smelling the smell, Old Xuan looked over to see three people leisurely sitting on the other side.

"Deputy monitor, you are biased. You didn't even invite me to eat!" Xiao Xiao looked at Su Yu angrily and said.

Su Yu wiped his mouth and said slowly: "You didn't say it, blame me."

After a simple cleanup, everyone turned their attention to Su Yu. It seemed that this seemingly unreliable guy was not simple.

Originally, Dai Yueheng planned to let everyone go to the military camp of the Xingluo Empire to use soul guides, but those soul guides were too bulky and could not be compared with those of the Sun and Moon Empire.

In order not to delay the formation, Su Yu threw out more than a dozen level 3 soul guides in front of everyone's stunned eyes...

"How could you, a second-year student in the outer courtyard, get so many soul guides? It seems that these soul guides are produced in the Sun-Moon Empire." Wang Yan said in surprise.

After Su Yu distributed the soul guides, he said, "In fact, Senior Dai Yueheng knows my family very well. As for these soul guides, I took them out from home. I will lend them to you for a while." Dai Yueheng also nodded and slowly said, "In fact, if I say Su Yu, you may not feel anything, but if I say the richest man in Xingluo Empire, the Su family, you may understand."

"In fact, your guess is correct. Su Yu is the legitimate son of the Su family and the future heir of the Su family. I can guarantee this in the name of the Duke of White Tiger." Dai Yuheng was also very good at examining the current situation and explained Su Yu's identity to everyone.

From other aspects, it was not just Duke White Tiger who received help from the Su family. The vast majority of the Xingluo Empire received benefits from the Su family. In fact, the reason was very simple. I gave you resources and money, and you helped me clear obstacles and gave me power.

Which noble would not be happy about such a profitable business? As long as your family needs development and money, everyone will be happy to help.

Although many people had evil intentions, no one could survive the next day under the protection of so many nobles.

Everyone hates capital, but doesn’t everyone want to become capital?

The reality is cruel and not as noble as we imagine, but the facts are bloody.

Even though the Su family started out as commoners, they had to do so in order to survive. In such a world, it is impossible to achieve equality for everyone.

If you want to end the violence in the world, you must first become the greatest violence!

If you want to end the injustice in the world, you must first become the greatest injustice!

After another long journey, for some reason, maybe Master Xuan wanted to try something new, he ordered Su to cook.

But Su Yu said very straightforwardly, I'm not as skilled as Huo Yuhao, go find him.

Then Xuan Lao gave up. He was becoming more and more dissatisfied with Su Yu, this troublemaker.

After finishing the meal, Wang Yan handed a long rope to everyone, "Come, tie it around your waist."

One end of the rope has a special buckle that can be tied to the chest, abdomen and thighs. The total length of the rope is more than 30 meters.

Su Yu took the rope and tied it around his body. He knew that this kind of rope was specially equipped for using flying soul guides. When the soul masters have different cultivation levels, using this rope, the soul master with a higher cultivation level can lead the soul master with a lower cultivation level, so that the two can fly together for a longer distance and maintain a faster speed.

It looks like this is going to be an unpleasant journey...

Su Yu was straightforward and pulled Wang Dong over, releasing the soul guide shield to reduce a lot of impact. In order to protect himself and Wang Dong, Su Yu directly summoned the fragmented martial spirit. Under Su Yu's control, the fragmented martial spirit kept rotating around Su Yu to offset the impact of the airflow around him.

We flew over three thousand miles in four hours, and this old man was driving the plane drunk!

Damn it, you drove a plane drunk and didn’t even consider our feelings. Do you have any humanity at all?

Fortunately, Su Yu was well prepared, and his situation is much better than that of others. This is the era of soul guides, but you still don't know how to use them. You have to rely on yourself. It will be strange if you don't tire yourself out.

Even so, Su Yu felt a little uncomfortable. After landing, his soul power was consumed a lot.

If we were to ask who felt the most comfortable among so many people, it would probably be Wang Dong. Under Su Yu's protection, he was well protected all the way, and he was still full of energy even when he landed.

When everyone fell to the ground and cried out in grief, they looked at Wang Dong in surprise.

"Wang Dong, Su Yu, how come you two are fine?" Xiao Xiao asked while holding onto a tree trunk and vomiting.

Xiao Xiao's words made everyone focus their eyes on the two of them. In terms of soul power, they were only at the third ring. Everyone was staggering, either holding on to tree trunks or squatting on the ground, except for these two people who were fine. Except for Su Yu who was a little pale due to excessive consumption of soul power, there was nothing wrong with him.

"Look at what you have accomplished." An old voice sounded, and an old man in greasy clothes was holding a large wine gourd and pouring wine into his mouth. Without a doubt, it was one of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, and the deputy head of the Shrek Supervisory Group, Master Xuan.

"You two guys are pretty good. Tell me how you did it." Old Xuan, who was driving the plane under the influence, was still drunk. Fortunately, the rope was not broken. If it was broken, Su would never let this old man go even if he became a ghost.

"Master Xuan, what era is this now? There are many ways to offset the impact of turbulence, such as protective soul guides, soul skills, and flying soul guides to stabilize the body." As he spoke, Su Yu put on the soul guide.

This scene made Old Xuan stunned. He really didn't expect that this troublemaker would come up with such an idea.

"What about you? You wouldn't be the same, right?" Old Xuan put down the wine jug, looked at Wang Dong and said.

Wang Dong looked at Xuan Lao, hesitated for a while, and then said: "I didn't do anything. It was Su Yu who protected me with the soul guide shield..."

Everyone was stunned. What impressed Su Yu the most was the gleam in Xiao Xiao's eyes. It was unclear whether that gleam was envy or jealousy...

Ma Xiaotao looked at the two people holding hands and couldn't help but laugh: "The world is really going downhill now! You two grown men are hugging each other, and such a young child has this tendency. I suggest that the college should rectify the school's morals."

"You're right. It's not proper for two grown men to hug each other. It's time to clean up the mess." Xiao Xiao on the side also agreed.

She was indeed a little jealous of the close relationship between Wang Dong and Su Yu. When she was in the freshman class, she tried to integrate into the circle of Su Yu and Wang Dong. She used to think that since she was a girl, it would be easier for her to get along with boys! But in fact, the closeness between Su Yu and Wang Dong was obviously better than the friendship between him and her.

Later she found out that she was wrong, extremely wrong.

Su Yu's strength is obvious to all in the class, and he has a very good reputation. Even many girls like Su Yu. His popularity among the girls in the class is no less than that of Wang Dong.

But Mr. Su doted on Wang Dong to the point of doting. Wang had been doing well in the class and was always willing to help no matter what difficulties he encountered. This made Xiao Xiao doubt herself...

"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't..." Wang Dong blushed a little due to being stared at by everyone, while Su looked at everyone calmly.

I thought Su would make some big move, but Su was surprisingly calm. Nonsense, if I reacted violently, you guys would definitely have some holes in your brains and thought of things in the wrong way!
A farce is just a farce after all, and after hearing Master Xuan's cough, the crowd stopped making a fuss.

"Little Daizi!" Old Xuan called lazily.

The muscles on Dai Yueheng's face twitched violently, but he still walked over honestly and called out respectfully: "Mr. Xuan."

Mr. Xuan said: "There was a lot of movement when I fell just now. People from the military should have discovered it. This place is only about fifty miles away from the Star Luo Empire's Western Group Army. Their people should be here soon. You handle it. I'll go first. Get some sleep. You are really old and your muscles and bones are no longer strong! Fortunately, you ate well today." As he said this, the figure of the old man who was muttering disappeared in a flash.

Damn, you drunk driving old man still have the nerve to say...

If Su could defeat Master Xuan, he would also like to seal Master Xuan's soul power and let him experience the feeling of being driven by a drunk driver!

Sure enough, a retainer from the Duke of White Tiger's mansion named Durien arrived not long after. Su Yu felt a chill in his heart when he heard the name. Was this really a bad taste in naming...

After settling everyone down, Dai Yueheng thought that his relationship with Huo Yuhao had eased, and he continued to ask about his well-being. After all, they were all from the Star Luo Empire, and Dai Yueheng believed that Huo Yuhao also had a sense of belonging to the Star Luo Empire.

However, how would he feel if he knew that the junior in front of him was his half brother?
Looking at the two people talking, this picture emerged in Su's mind.

When two people are drunk, the conversation may go like this...

Dai Yuheng: Where are you from?

Huo Yuhao: Xing Luo Empire, what about you?

Dai Yuheng: What a coincidence, me too, cheers! Where do you live in Xingluo Empire?
Huo Yuhao: Xingluo Imperial Capital, how about you?

Dai Yuheng: What a coincidence, me too. Let’s have another drink! Can you be more specific? Maybe we are really neighbors?

Huo Yuhao: I grew up in the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion. You did the same, right?
Dai Yuheng: Damn, this can’t be such a coincidence, me too, another drink, another drink! Wait, what’s your father’s last name?
Huo Yuhao: My father’s last name is Dai. Keep drinking, don’t stop.

Dai Yuheng: What a coincidence, me too...

…………

Thinking of this, Mr. Su was already laughing to death. The scene was really weird. If he got these two drunk and put them together in the future, there might really be a surprise.

Of course, the thing that made Su feel that crows were flying all over the sky was still to come. I thought that someone named Durane was already very evil, but I didn’t expect that there was another person named Dureth behind him…

Standing in front of the contemporary White Tiger Duke, Su Yu carefully observed what this middle-aged man who made Ma Xiaotao's heart fluttered was like.

He looked to be in his thirties, with regular features, deep eye sockets, and twin pupils in his azure blue eyes. His face looked a little thin, but his whole body had a metallic texture. Especially his eyes, when he first swept over, it flashed like a giant blade, causing everyone in Shrek Academy to stop unconsciously.

Handsome, resolute, upright, and possessing an iron-blooded temperament. Seeing him, even the proud students of Shrek Academy felt like surrendering.

He is indeed worthy of being the modern-day White Tiger Duke. No wonder Huo Yun'er never regretted giving birth to a son for him.

This kind of masculine beauty full of masculine energy is irresistible to the vast majority of women. Of course, it is a different story for those sissy men who like greasy hair, powdered faces, pretentiousness, and the delicate beauty of women in every move.

After the White Tiger Duke appeared, everyone's eyes fell on him. No one noticed that Huo Yuhao was already crying uncontrollably at this moment.

A figure kept appearing in Huo Yuhao's mind: It was him, it was him, who ruined his mother's life, but his mother never forgot him. He was also the father he had never met! It was him, it was him.

It’s him, it’s him, it’s him, our hero, little Nezha!
When the dust settled, everyone sat together and chatted about random things. Ma Xiaotao's questions were particularly tricky, and she was trying to find out information about the Duke of White Tiger in a roundabout way.

To put it bluntly, Dai Yuheng, I want to be your stepmother!
Su Yu was quietly watching the show and comforting Huo Yuhao. After all, he was really afraid that the kid would become depressed and rush up to fight them to the death.

At that time, it would not be a matter of loving father and filial son, but a matter of Duke White Tiger losing all face. This was a matter of Duke White Tiger's face, so Su Yu had to ensure that Huo Yuhao did not do anything reckless, otherwise Huo's future might really come to an end.

After all, a noble family cannot tolerate any stain, and reputation is more important than anything else!

 Thanks to Ye Bei Xiaoge, Storm Dragon God, and book friend 20210813172052331 for their rewards.

  Let me say a few words off topic here. If nothing unexpected happens, the daily updates will basically be 7000+. It has taken me so long to write this, and I thank you all for your support.

  In addition, I hope that all Shennongs will show some mercy. If you don’t like it, please don’t hurt me wantonly. Let’s respect each other. Thank you!
