Chapter 29: “parting Is Not Forever, Merely A Wait.”
“Clinic Master Huo, what’s wrong?”
Hearing Jiang Nannan’s familiar and pleasant voice, Huo Yuhao calmed his heart that had been angered by the Dou Ling Imperial Family God-Human.
“Oh, Nannan, it’s nothing. I was just angered by a group of little-brained underdeveloped, fully brainless feudal beasts.”
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao raised the book in his hand toward her.
Although Jiang Nannan didn’t understand Huo Yuhao’s words, her eyes widened immediately when she saw the title on it, “On Human Body Cultivation Meridians.”
“I’ve heard of this book!”
After hearing her somewhat excited voice, Huo Yuhao felt a bit doubtful.
“When I was at Shrek Academy, my homeroom teacher mentioned this book.”
“She said that a super expert from Shrek gave extremely high praise to this book.”
“Therefore, some teachers from the Shrek Inner Court specifically researched related knowledge.”
“But I heard there were no results.”
“And it was privately ridiculed by another super expert in a high position of authority as messing around blindly.”
“He said soul masters should be down-to-earth and not delve into irrelevant things. Does one need Meridian Theory to become a strong person?”
Huo Yuhao’s mouth twitched. He had just thought Shrek Academy had some innovation in this aspect, but the research trend was stifled by someone.
Although Jiang Nannan didn’t directly say who the two strong persons were, Huo Yuhao could still guess.
The one who definitely conducted this research was Mu En, the former Dragon God Douluo, the original work’s master of Huo Yuhao.
The one who vetoed it was probably Xuan Zi, Gluttonous Douluo, also known as Chicken Leg Douluo, Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult.
Although this was just a joke, just looking at Xuan Zi’s actions, you really couldn’t tell if it was true or false.
You say he doesn’t love Shrek Academy, but at critical moments, he is willing to sacrifice himself and fight to the death for Shrek Academy.
You say he loves Shrek Academy, but he always manages to create a bunch of messes, letting the Sun Moon Empire mess with Shrek Academy.
For this, Huo Yuhao could only comment: “The exhaustive scheming of bad people is not as good as the flash of inspiration from fools.”
If the Tang God King saw his world-shattering wisdom inherited at Shrek Academy, he would surely feel gratified.
Seeing Huo Yuhao’s somewhat dejected expression, Jiang Nannan gripped the hand behind her back even tighter.
She kept mumbling her lips but never dared to say the words in her mouth.
“Say it! Dead mouth, quickly give the thing to Clinic Master Huo!”
After a long while, Huo Yuhao was still puzzled why today’s sunlight was so dim. He looked up and realized Jiang Nannan had been standing at the door the whole time, blocking all the sunlight.
Looking at the girl’s conflicted expression, with both hands behind her back, Huo Yuhao’s world-shattering wisdom began to activate.
“This scene, and this action, could it be?”
“Damn, I forgot, Douluo Continent is also known as Love Continent. Probably the God of Love made a move.”
“Sorry, little sister, you’re a good person, but brothers now only want to make progress on the path of cultivation.”
“I really want to make progress too much!”
Huo Yuhao had already thought of how to reject her in his mind. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Nannan finally mustered her courage.
She handed the thing from behind to Huo Yuhao with both hands and said:
“Clinic Master, it’s better not to throw things around next time.”
“You might be tracked.”
The words Huo Yuhao had prepared were forcibly swallowed back into his stomach, and then he saw the bag in Jiang Nannan’s hand that he had thrown away.
His brain, originally washed by chaotic emotions, instantly calmed down. Huo Yuhao took the bag and saw that the spot torn by the iron piece had been mended with thread.
The technique was very skilled, with every stitch orderly. The fabric used for mending was the best kind, and it even had an exquisite small rabbit pattern embroidered on it.
Huo Yuhao solemnly put the bag back into his storage soul tool and said helplessly to her:
“It seems you already know.”
Jiang Nannan nodded seriously at Huo Yuhao and said:
“Thank you, Clinic Master, for saving me.”
“I… I don’t know how to repay you, so I could only mend your bag.”
Huo Yuhao smiled and waved his hand, indicating not to worry about it.
“You’re somewhat a medical clinic apprentice after all. According to the local saying, you can be considered a half disciple.”
“Since that’s the case, how could I ignore you when you’re in trouble.”
Hearing Huo Yuhao’s words and the half disciple statement, her pretty face slightly flushed red, and her beautiful eyes seemed to ripple.
She didn’t deny this statement and instead greatly enjoyed the feeling of being acknowledged by Huo Yuhao.
“Um, Clinic Master, please tell me, exactly who is targeting me.”
Huo Yuhao didn’t conceal it. Even if she didn’t ask now, when they parted in the future, he would inform her.
“It’s the Profound Nether Sect. Their second young master is about to undergo a Martial Soul Evolution Ceremony and needs a woman as a key part of the ritual.”
“The servant by that second young master’s side couldn’t find a suitable candidate, so he got crooked ideas and targeted you, wanting to control you and take you there as the key to the ritual.”
Hearing this, Jiang Nannan broke out in cold sweat. She was still aware of the Profound Nether Sect, after all, they sent people here every year to perform Martial Soul Awakening for children of age.
Of course, this Martial Soul Awakening was charged.
Jiang Nannan herself did not have her Martial Soul awakened by them. She and her mother were originally from Heaven Dou City and later moved here.
If it had been awakened by them, she would have been forcibly required to join the Profound Nether Sect long ago.
This era had no Spirit Hall. Even if a Spirit Hall steward awakened a child with innate full soul power, they would only ask if they were willing to join Spirit Hall, not force them directly.
“Clinic Master Huo, you should run quickly. The Profound Nether Sect is very powerful.”
“They have at least five Titled Douluos.”
“If discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Looking at Jiang Nannan’s anxious expression, Huo Yuhao softly asked: “What about you then?”
Jiang Nannan shook her head, her eyes full of anxiety as she said: “I’ll be fine. After all, I’m from Shrek Academy, and it’s not far from the academy here. They probably won’t make a move on me.”
Actually, deep down, Jiang Nannan knew the Profound Nether Sect might not truly fear Shrek Academy, and Shrek Academy might not stand up for her.
Huo Yuhao looked at this girl who thought of others first even when she was in trouble and comforted her:
“Don’t worry, they won’t easily discover me. At least not in this period of time.”
“By the time they discover, I’ll have already left here.”
Jiang Nannan’s body shook, and she lowered her head to ask: “Is Clinic Master Huo leaving?”
“Mm, probably on the day you go to Shrek Academy.”
Seeing her thoughts that could be read at a glance, Huo Yuhao said: “Don’t worry, there will still be a reunion in the future.”
“Parting is not farewell, just a bit of waiting.”
“Also, when going to Shrek Academy this time, remember to bring your mother along.”
“This place is still too close to the Profound Nether Sect, not very safe. Your mother’s body can now withstand long-distance travel.”
Listening to Huo Yuhao’s instructions, Jiang Nannan nodded her lowered little head.
She actually hoped more that the three of them could go together. After hearing the news of parting, her nose tip had been a bit sour, and her heart felt very uncomfortable.
She wanted to cry but couldn’t, not wanting him to think she was cowardly.
Huo Yuhao patted her head, soothing the girl before him.
After a long time, looking at the calmed girl, he softly said: “Nannan, can you give me a drop of your blood?”
Jiang Nannan didn’t care at all what Huo Yuhao wanted the blood for and directly squeezed a drop from her fingertip.
Huo Yuhao placed that drop of still-warm blood in his palm.
Soon, a line of small text appeared on his retina.
“Humanity gene information collection complete. Special information (part two) has been unlocked.”
At the same time, the [Understanding] authority also reached 5%.
