Chapter 13: Preventing Huo Yuhao from joining the Tang Sect and taking Huo Yuhao as a disciple!
After successfully locating another location of Huo Yuhao within the Star Dou Great Forest using his powerful mental strength...
Liu Yuan did not delay at all.
"Walk!"
He immediately grabbed Xiao Xiao and Ling Luochen's delicate hands, one on each side, and headed straight for Huo Yuhao's location.
On the other side...
Another location within the Starry Sky Forest.
As soon as Huo Yuhao woke up, he saw Bei Bei and Tang Ya squatting in front of him, staring at him.
Seeing him open his eyes, Tang Ya cheered, "Xiao Yuhao, you're finally awake! I was so worried!"
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
Although they had met once before entering the Star Dou Great Forest, they parted ways quickly afterward. Therefore, Huo Yuhao was somewhat unsure why Bei Bei and Tang Ya, who had separated from him before, would reappear with him.
He tentatively asked Tang Ya and Bei Bei, "Brother Bei, Sister Xiao Ya, are you here to pursue me?"
Tang Ya replied, "Yes! After we parted ways with you, we kept watching the direction you left in and started guessing, wondering if you had run off to the Star Dou Great Forest by yourself, so we thought we'd catch up with you to protect you..."
"Good heavens! I didn't expect it to actually be like that! You're incredibly brave. With your limited skills, you could easily have met your end in this Star Dou Great Forest. But you're lucky you weren't injured."
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this.
Huo Yuhao is still young and has had a hard life since childhood, so he is easily moved when he sees someone being nice to him.
Besides, Tang Ya and Bei Bei were genuinely kind; they saw he was pitiful and offered to help him. At this stage, he had nothing for them to scheme against him...
So Huo Yuhao almost told Tang Ya and Bei Bei about the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm directly.
But just then, Tang Ya asked Huo Yuhao, "Look at your silly face, okay, I won't say anything more. Little Yuhao, let me ask you, what are your plans for the future?"
Tang Ya's question made Huo Yuhao swallow back the words he was about to say. At the same time, after hearing Tang Ya's question, a look of confusion appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.
After all, he was just a child. Escaping the Duke's mansion and coming to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring was all he had originally considered.
As for what path he should take in the future, Huo Yuhao hadn't really thought about it carefully. So when Tang Ya asked him this, Huo Yuhao was completely confused.
Seeing this, Tang Ya directly asked Huo Yuhao, "Judging from your expression, you probably don't have any plans. Otherwise, how about joining our sect?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes showed a look of doubt: "Sect? Sister Xiaoya, what kind of sect are you?"
Tang Ya suddenly became excited as she spoke: "Our sect was once the number one Tang Sect in Douluo Continent!"
"By joining our sect, you can learn many powerful and unique skills."
"Furthermore, our Tang Sect has one free admission spot to Shrek Academy every year. You must know Shrek Academy, right? It's the number one academy on the Douluo Continent, and not just anyone can get in."
"If you join our Tang Sect, this spot will be yours. How about it?"
Tang Ya listed out all the benefits that Huo Yuhao could gain from joining the Tang Sect.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be tempted after hearing this.
Firstly, he had heard his mother tell stories about the Tang Clan more than once when he was young, and he had always known about this sect.
Secondly, Huo Yuhao also knew about Shrek Academy, which was the number one academy on the Douluo Continent, and he longed to attend it.
Of course, the most important point is that Huo Yuhao felt warmth from Tang Ya and Bei Bei.
To be honest, Huo Yuhao is indeed a child who lacks love. His mother died early, and he has lived a hard life in the Duke's mansion all these years. Now that he finds that someone is kind to him, he is naturally more obedient.
So after hearing what Tang Ya and Bei Bei said, he was really tempted and decided to agree to Tang Ya's request.
But how could he have known that this very action would almost lead him into Tang San's trap?
Tang Ya and Bei Bei never intended to harm Huo Yuhao, but Tang San might have had a different idea...
Fortunately, at that moment, a man's voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait a minute!"
As soon as the sound rang out, a swift figure flashed past Huo Yuhao and the others.
The figure moved very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already appeared in front of Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya, and the others.
His aura was powerful, and he had nine red spirit rings that were 100,000 years old beneath his feet. As soon as they appeared, a powerful aura spread out from his body.
"Title Douluo!"
"Moreover, all nine spirit rings are 100,000-year-old red spirit rings..."
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Huo Yuhao was immediately drawn to the man, and when he looked at him, his face showed deep admiration, a testament to his awe of the strong.
Even the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm within Huo Yuhao, upon sensing Liu Yuan's appearance, subconsciously uttered a sigh: "He is indeed a very powerful fellow."
"Moreover, I always felt that this person was trustworthy."
Huo Yuhao asked Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his mind, "Why do you say that? Brother Tianmeng, do you know him?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shook her head at Huo Yuhao: "I don't know him, but I just have this feeling. His aura gives me a sense of trust... It seems like he won't harm us."
Huo Yuhao kept Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words firmly in mind.
At this moment, Tang Ya and Bei Bei also recognized Liu Yuan.
"Teacher Liu Yuan, what are you doing here?"
It turns out that Tang Ya and Bei Bei were also Liu Yuan's students before.
Although they are about to enter the fourth grade, they have benefited greatly from studying with Liu Yuan for a semester last semester, and their strength has improved rapidly.
Therefore, both Tang Ya and Bei Bei respected Liu Yuan very much, and they recognized him immediately upon seeing him.
Furthermore, they discovered nine red soul rings at Liu Yuan's feet.
This was the first time Liu Yuan had shown his strength in front of them. Before, when he was at Shrek Academy, he had never shown his true strength in order to avoid being targeted by the higher-ups.
So Tang Ya and Bei Bei couldn't help but feel a little surprised at this moment.
"Nine spirit rings, and all nine are 100,000-year spirit rings..."
"hiss!"
"Teacher Liu Yuan is truly amazing!"
"No wonder your lectures are so helpful!"
After a moment of reflection, they admired Liu Yuan even more.
Liu Yuan did not hold a grudge against them because of what happened at Shrek Academy some time ago.
Not to mention that they were originally his students, Liu Yuan had a very good relationship with them.
Even if they weren't his students, Liu Yuan wouldn't hold a grudge against them.
After all, it was Shrek Academy's higher-ups who offended him, so what does it have to do with Tang Ya and the others?
So at this moment, he still greeted Tang Ya and Bei Bei as usual.
"Beibei, Xiaoya, it's you two..."
"Come to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring?"
Tang Ya and Bei Bei nodded repeatedly, their faces full of respect and admiration for Liu Yuan.
Beibei replied to Liu Yuan, "Yes, I asked you for leave more than half a month ago! After that, Xiaoya and I first went to pay respects to the ancestors of the Tang Clan, and then we came to the Star Dou Great Forest."
"By the way, Professor Liu Yuan, what's this all about...?"
As Beibei spoke, she noticed Ling Luochen and Xiao Xiao walking up from behind. It turned out that Liu Yuan had arrived at the scene ahead of time to prevent Huo Yuhao from agreeing at the crucial moment, and now the two of them had caught up.
Beibei and Tang Ya naturally didn't know Xiao Xiao, but Ling Luochen and the others did, because Ling Luochen often came to see Liu Yuan before.
So now they felt even more confused, wondering why Ling Luochen and Liu Yuan were here: "Why is Senior Luochen here too?"
Liu Yuan waved his hand and said.
"Well, that's a long story, I'll tell you later."
"Let's get down to business now."
After he finished speaking, he looked directly at Huo Yuhao on the side and asked with a smile.
"Young friend, I see you have extraordinary talent; you're a good candidate for cultivation..."
"I would like to take you as my apprentice. Would you be willing?"
