Three days later, Shrek Academy.
A carriage, while not particularly luxurious, was certainly not simple, and came to a smooth stop at the entrance of Shrek Academy. Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, who were walking hand in hand towards the academy, immediately stopped and looked at the carriage.
Li Yusong, the gatekeeper, also quickly stood up, his gaze fixed on the carriage, his mind racing with doubts. Could that person have returned after only three days?
He didn't keep them waiting long. After the carriage came to a complete stop, a handsome man in a white robe, holding a folding fan, with long, flowing blue hair, stepped down.
Seeing the newcomer, Li Yusong, who was on guard duty at the gate, breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down.
Xiao Wu immediately smiled, ignoring Ning Rongrong, and threw herself at the newcomer, clinging to him like a koala.
"Brother Hao!"
Yin Hao patted Xiao Wu's head as she clung to him.
"Alright, alright, there's still someone here!"
"Yeah! There's still someone here!"
Ning Rongrong, who had been abandoned by Xiao Wu, came up at this moment and said to Xiao Wu, who was clinging to Yin Hao and unwilling to get down.
Hearing their words, Xiao Wu reluctantly jumped off Yin Hao, but still clung tightly to his arm, unwilling to let go.
Yin Hao didn't mind and turned to greet Ning Rongrong.
"Long time no see, Rongrong..."
Ning Rongrong smiled as well.
"Yeah, long time no see. You took half a month off after only two days of school. You're one of a kind."
Yin Hao hadn't forgotten his excuse for taking leave before and said.
"Isn't it because there were some things at home?"
Ning Rongrong seemed to remember and asked cautiously.
"And your grandfather..."
Hearing Ning Rongrong's question, Xiao Wu also looked over, waiting for Yin Hao's answer with concern.
Yin Hao smiled and waved his hand.
"He's fine, just a little overworked. I found him a doctor in the city, and he recovered in a few days. So, I came back as soon as he was better..."
(Old Jack: Thank you so much! You little rascal!) Hearing Yin Hao's answer, Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to hug Yin Hao's arm without saying anything more.
"By the way, aren't there classes at the academy today? Why are you two out?"
Ning Rongrong seemed a little embarrassed, frowning as she thought for a moment before finally speaking.
"Let's go in first, we can talk as we walk..."
Yin Hao nodded, then led Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong into the academy, greeting Li Yusong as they passed the gate.
"You weren't here before, so you don't know, but three days ago a mysterious masked man came to our academy. It seems even the dean wasn't a match for him (Flander: Slander! That's pure slander!). However, he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Shrek Academy. He's just here to collect a debt from the master."
Yin Hao asked with a "puzzling look" after hearing Ning Rongrong's words. "Oh? Debt collection? What debt? I've known Grandmaster for years, and I have no idea he has any debts!"
Ning Rongrong thought for a moment, then said with disdain.
"He said he's here to collect a debt on behalf of the Spirit Hall, saying he's been using the Spirit Hall's name to swindle and cheat people, and even plagiarized the knowledge of the Spirit Hall's predecessors, claiming it was his own idea..."
Yin Hao looked "shocked."
"Impossible, right? How could Grandmaster be that kind of person?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Yin Hao helplessly when she saw his disbelief. She had known him for so many years and still couldn't figure out what kind of person he was. You... you're too naive, aren't you? Just then, a sound rang out not far in front of Yin Hao and the others. They looked up and saw Tang San, with a bandage on his arm and a sling around his neck, looking at them.
Undoubtedly, he had heard their conversation clearly. He then gave Ning Rongrong a sinister look, but quickly covered it up and greeted Yin Hao with a smile.
"Brother Hao, you're back?"
Upon seeing Tang San, Yin Hao was overjoyed and greeted him with a broad smile. However, before he could speak, he noticed the condition of Tang San's arm and frowned.
"Little San, what happened to your arm?"
Brother Hao is still the same Brother Hao. For so many days, these Shrek students have either avoided him or ignored him, but Brother Hao still cares about him! A touch of emotion flashed through Tang San's heart, followed by a slightly bitter reply.
"A few days ago... I was beaten by that enemy of Teacher's..."
To be honest, Tang San regretted it after that day. He hadn't expected that person to be so strange and unpredictable in his attacks. Not only had that person broken his arm using methods he knew nothing about, but he had also absorbed his level six Soul Power and the age of two soul rings, turning his two hundred-year soul rings into ten-year soul rings! Even more despicable were Flander and his companions. They kept boasting about being Soul Saints and Soul Emperors, but when their Soul Power was drained, they didn't dare utter a sound. They were practically asking for death! Sure enough, Yin Hao's face contorted with rage after hearing Tang San's words.
"Who did it! Tell me, and I'll avenge you!"
Tang San looked at Yin Hao with gratitude, but still shook his head.
"That person didn't leave a name. We only know he's from the Spirit Hall..."
Hearing this, even Yin Hao, "filled with rage" and "determined to avenge Tang San," had to sigh. He then took out a bottle of medicine from his ring.
"Sigh... then you should focus on healing your injury first. This is some medicine I made myself for treating external injuries; it's quite effective for fractures and such. You can use it for now...
But... I will definitely not let the person who dared to hurt you get away with it!"
(How will he not get away with it? Yin Hao is thinking of spanking his girlfriend's butt! Hmm... a few more spanks!)
Tang San accepted the medicine with a face full of gratitude. He had suffered so many injuries since childhood, yet Brother Hao always managed to give him medicine when he needed it. He was so caring...
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained two levels of Tang San's Soul Power through a bottle of external injury medicine. Do you wish to claim it?]
Hmm? He got two levels of Soul Power all at once? After so many years of hard work, he finally moved this old schemer?
"I will not claim it for now."
Yin Hao continued.
"Little San, why do I feel that the fluctuations of your Soul Power are not as strong as when I left? What's going on?"
At this point, Tang San became even more bitter.
"This...this was also caused by that person. I don't know what methods he used to absorb other people's Soul Power. He not only absorbed all of my teacher's Soul Power, but also my level six Soul Power..."
