Bab 72: Dinner
Ning Fengzhi at the side also looked at Huo Yuhao curiously. It would be a lie to say that he was not curious.
'How did a student who was expelled from an unknown school be canonized as the Holy Son by the Supreme Pontiff in a month?'
He had just had a brief chat with Zhao Wuji and could not believe of his evaluation of Huo Yuhao. A Soul Elder being able to fight head-to-head with Zhao Wuji. Now that he knew that this child was the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, it would make sense. Without extremely extraordinary talent, the Supreme Pontiff would not even pay a speck of attention toward him.
"Nothing happened. I was almost rank 40 when I left school, so I went to the Star Dou Forest on my own to obtain my fourth soul ring. Later, I happened to meet someone from Spirit Hall. I didn't know where to go in the future, so I joined Spirit Hall."
Huo Yuhao recounted his experiences during this period in a very brief manner.
"Later, I heard that teacher Zhao had left the academy and were looking for me near Heaven Dou City, so I came to see you. I'm glad you're okay now."
After hearing this, Zhao Wuji nodded with some relief.
"That's right. I said that the Grandmaster had no vision. You are definitely the most powerful little monster! Since you are doing well, I'm relieved."
Ning Fengzhi sighed secretly after hearing this.
'It such a pity that that a genius like Huo Yuhao was taken in by Spirit Hall. It would have been better if we had discovered him first. The child my daughter loved has already been abducted away by someone else.'
He smiled bitterly, looked up at Zhao Wuji, his tone full of regret.
"Mr. Zhao, I wonder what could make your school expel such a talented student? This is simply..."
He didn't say the rest, but everyone present understood what Ning Fengzhi wanted to express. Zhao Wuji's eyes suddenly burst into rage.
"I don't know the specific situation, but it must be related to that Grandmaster. Not long after we came back that day, Flender gathered the students to announce Yuhao departure."
Zhao Wuji suppressed his anger and slowly recounted what happened that day. He still couldn't hold back his anger when he thought about it now. Ning Fengzhi, who was standing by, also frowned as he listened. He had heard a little about that Grandmaster, but he didn't expect that he was such a person.
He couldn't help but worry about whether his daughter would learn bad things from him.
'It seemed that I should investigate this more.'
Then he raised his doubts, "The Grandmaster alone should hold enough weight to expel Yuhao, right? Is there someone else pulling the strings?"
"I'm not sure. I was very angry at the time and left the academy right then and there. Yuhao should know the specific reason better than me."
Zhao Wuji shook his head slightly and his eyes fell on Huo Yuhao.
"It was a Titled Douluo."
Huo Yuhao spoke out.
'Since Teacher Zhao had already withdrawn from Shrek, it would be helpful for him to know the danger he could faced.'
"That day, it was Clear Sky Douluo and the Grandmaster who appear in the dean's office together."
Excluding Xiao Wu identity, Yuhao recounted what happen that day. Ning Fengzhi naturally deduce that Yuhao was hiding something, but he didn't care. He believe that it was this secret that was the reason why a Titled Douluo would target him.
His idea was the same as Bibi Dong's. The value that Huo Yuhao had shown now far outweighed his curiosity about his personal secret. He would not destroy the friendly relationship they had just established just because of a little curiosity.
"No wonder Flender gave in. A Titled Douluo can easily massacre the academy and no one would be able escape. So you rushed here because you were afraid that Tang Hao would attack Mr. Zhao?"
Ning Fengzhi's evaluation of Huo Yuhao changed again.
'It seem that he value his companions above all else. My daughter has a really good taste.'
He said to Zhao Wuji with a smile.
"Mr. Zhao, you have a really good student. I'm a little jealous."
Zhao Wuji's eyes were a little red, and he patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder gently. He had never had a wife or children in his life. What else could he say about having a such student, even if they were only in this relationship for a couple of days.
"Teacher Zhao, why don't you come to Spirit Hall with me?"
Huo Yuhao looked at Zhao Wuji expectantly. He absolutely could not leave Zhao Wuji here alone, it was too dangerous.
"I have many enemies in Spirit Hall, who knows if I'm even safer there? You were only recently appointed as the Saint. If I go with you, it will have a significant impact on your influence. I can't do that."
Zhao Wuji shook his head.
'I can't burden my student and drag them down. That would be more painful than letting me die.'
Ning Fengzhi on the side chuckled and gave another option.
"My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan could use another protector. How about it Mr. Zhao, would you like to take the offer? Although you need stay within the sect during weekdays, your freedom will not be restricted too much."
"Are you serious?"
Zhao Wuji was somewhat tempted, but he hesitated. He understood that this was due to Huo Yuhao's help. If he agreed, Huo Yuhao would owe a favor to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up as he stood by. He nodded gratefully towards Ning Fengzhi and quickly agreed.
"Teacher Zhao, I'm worried about you being alone, and I'm even less in the mood to practice. Please agree, or follow me back to Spirit Hall."
"You little brat, you actually threatened me." Zhao Wuji smiled and shook his head, and made a decision under the urging of the young man.
"Thank you, Sect Master Ning. I never thought that I, an old man, would have to rely on my students one day."
Huo Yuhao finally let go of the heavy stone in his heart and saluted Ning Fengzhi.
"Sect Master Ning, I'll leave Teacher Zhao in your care. I will repay you in the future."
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand.
"No need to thank me, I got the promise of a powerful Soul Saint and a genius just with this little action, I was the one who benefit this time."
He was also in a good mood and was thinking about how to increase his favouribility, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come to him.
He originally had some thoughts about helping Huo Yuhao solve his problem, but then he changed his mind. If Huo Yuhao was willing to rely on a forces, Spirit Hall would have taken action long ago.
'It seem that the secret is bigger than I thought. Since, he didn't want to rely on other too much, there is no point in insisting. Being to attentive would easily arouse his vigilance.'
After understanding everything, Ning Fengzhi stood up and invited the two of them.
"Since things are going well, could you please give me a chance to treat you guys to dinner?"
Huo Yuhao quickly waved his hands.
"No need, Sect Master Ning. Would you give me the honor to make dinner myself, Sect Master Ning?"
