Chapter 246 Orange's Warning
Jing Hongchen had absolute confidence in the defensive measures in the underground passage of Mingde Hall, so the underground passage was unguarded.
The sound of Ju Zi's footsteps echoed through the passage, with Ye Nanxiao following behind her.
"I originally thought your situation wouldn't be optimistic," Orange said, with a silencing bead floating beside her.
"It's not very optimistic. If you had arrived any later, I would have become a live-in son-in-law." Ye Nanxiao shrugged and said. He had thought about many reasons why Jing Hongchen was looking for him, but he never thought about Meng Hongchen.
Orange covered her mouth and chuckled, "Jing Hongchen's wealth ranks among the top five in the entire Sun Moon Empire. If you become a son-in-law of the Hongchen family, wouldn't your dream of lying on a gold mine and basking in the sun come true? Moreover, Meng Hongchen is also a great beauty, and there are quite a few noble families who want to pursue her. Even some people in the royal family have their eyes on Meng Hongchen."
Ye Nanxiao shook his head, put his hands behind his head, and said proudly, "I already have a girlfriend. This little poisonous woman thinks she can ride on my head? How laughable!"
"Little Poison Girl? That's quite a fitting nickname." Orange seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and a hint of embarrassment and annoyance appeared in her eyes.
Ye Nanxiao sighed softly and said, "Having the Crown Prince intervene this time must have had a significant impact on you, right?"
A glint flashed in Ju Zi's eyes. She turned her head slightly and said, "You're overthinking it. What difference does it make? I'm the Crown Princess!"
Ye Nanxiao gave Ju Zi a meaningful look, but said nothing more. It was Ju Zi's choice, and he had no right to interfere.
"The Crown Prince has been acting too hastily lately, which has angered some powerful forces. If you have nothing to do these next few days, you shouldn't go out again," Orange reminded him.
Ye Nanxiao nodded and asked, "Do you know anything about these forces?"
Ju Zi shook her head slightly and said, "Although I am Xu Tianran's confidant, recently, for some reason, Xu Tianran's temper has become irritable and strange, and many things have started to bypass me. I have only heard a name: Body Sect."
The Body Sect? Xu Tianran has made a move against the Body Sect? What does he want to gain?
Ye Nanxiao secretly memorized the name of the Body Sect, intending to send his clone out to gather information for him.
"Xu Tianran has specifically asked you to set up a tournament, most likely for a reason. Be careful, don't fall, or I'll have to clean up your mess," Ju Zi said, turning to Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao nodded, reached out to the orange, and smiled, "Do you have any fruit? I'm a little hungry."
Orange glared at Ye Nanxiao with her beautiful eyes and said irritably, "All you think about is food! I'm talking to you about serious business!"
However, Ye Nanxiao caught two purple oranges that flew towards his face, chuckled, and said, "It's a competition, the Crown Prince didn't say that I was the only one who had to participate."
"From what you're saying, you're up to something again?" Ju Zi raised her eyebrows slightly and asked.
"This is a secret. If you want to hear it, come closer." Ye Nanxiao gestured for Ju Zi to come closer to listen.
Upon hearing this, Ju Zi hesitated for a moment before moving closer to Ye Nanxiao.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's mischievous grin, Ju Zi blushed slightly, glared at him, and said, "Speak!"
Ye Nanxiao slowly approached Ju Zi's ear.
Two seconds felt like an eternity to Ju Zi; in her eyes, Ye Nanxiao seemed to have been slowed down.
Suddenly, Ju Zi thought Ye Nanxiao's eyes were very beautiful, and her reflection in his eyes was clearly visible.
Her mind went blank. Orange could clearly hear her own rapid heartbeat. She looked away, not daring to look Ye Nanxiao in the eye.
"Little Orange," Ye Nanxiao said softly.
Guess!
After saying that, Ye Nanxiao slipped away as fast as he could and ran off.
Behind them, came Orange's furious roar, "Ye! Fox! Tanuki!"
Ye Nanxiao, running wildly, grinned smugly. "Let Ju Xiaohan laugh at me! He's been tricked by me now!"
"Have you thought about how you're going to get out?" Xue Di said calmly.
"Huh?" Ye Nanxiao slowly stopped in front of the passage gate, looking at the soul guide lock on the door, and fell into deep thought.
He forgot that he didn't have a key, and that the lock in front of him couldn't be pried open anytime soon.
"Have you been cultivating immortality lately? Why do I feel like your brain has shrunk?" Xue Di covered her face with her hands; she simply couldn't bear to look at this stupid fox anymore.
Ye Nanxiao blinked and looked back. The passage behind him was now occupied by an orange vortex, and in the center of the vortex, a figure with rolled-up sleeves was walking towards him with a fierce aura.
Experimental area.
As soon as Xuan Ziwen opened the door and walked in, he saw Huo Yuhao holding a bottle of disinfectant and standing in front of Ye Nanxiao, carefully applying the disinfectant to Ye Nanxiao's face.
"Hmm? You're injured, kid?" Xuan Ziwen walked up to Ye Nanxiao and asked.
Ye Nanxiao rubbed his face, stared wide-eyed, and smiled silently.
Xuan Ziwen noticed a row of faint crescent-shaped marks on Ye Nanxiao's left wrist and tentatively asked, "You didn't... offend Ju Zi, did you?"
Huo Yuhao, who was wiping Ye Nanxiao with disinfectant, suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Ye Nanxiao's expression froze, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Xuan Ziwen burst out laughing, clutching his stomach and laughing without any regard for his image, slapping his thigh and saying, "I originally thought Ju Zi only talked the talk, but I didn't expect her to actually do it!"
When Ju Zi used to catch up on sleep in the lab, Xuan Ziwen would often wake her up under the pretext that the cafeteria was open for lunch. The result was that Ju Zi would keep throwing out her martial spirit while saying fiercely, "I'll bite you to death."
Ye Nanxiao silently turned his head away. Who would have thought that Ju Xiaohan would resort to words when he couldn't beat Ju Xiaohan with his hands?
If I hadn't reacted quickly and put away my body's defenses, I wouldn't have been able to eat the ribs in the cafeteria today.
Huo Yuhao put away the disinfectant and said, "It's applied, but you don't have any wounds, why did you put disinfectant on, Onii-chan?"
"You don't understand, I'm a germaphobe." Ye Nanxiao glanced disdainfully at the crescent-shaped mark on his left wrist.
Xuan Ziwen pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Ye Nanxiao, saying, "I heard today that you're going to start another arena competition. Are you trying to get metal for nothing again?"
Upon hearing about the arena competition, Huo Yuhao immediately became interested. This was part of his plan, to showcase the strength of Soul Masters to the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy and show them what a Soul Master is.
"This time, His Highness the Crown Prince will be present in person for the arena competition. You won't be facing those little guys from last time. All the Soul Masters who are in seclusion will come out and challenge you. Even members of the royal family will appear in the arena. His Highness the Crown Prince has personally promised the prizes for winning the competition. You've really become a hot commodity this time," Xuan Ziwen said.
A hot commodity? A hint of interest flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he fell into deep thought.
Ye Nanxiao waved his hand and said, "It's not like I'm the only one participating. Besides, I'm competing in the champion system. If I win, I'll make a killing, and if I lose, someone else will take my place. It's not a loss, right, my dear little brother?"
Hearing Ye Nanxiao call his name, Huo Yuhao snapped out of his reverie and met Ye Nanxiao's "malicious" gaze.
Huo Yuhao swallowed hard. Based on past experience, whenever Ye Nanxiao showed such a smile, it meant he was in trouble.
"You don't mean to make me a substitute, do you?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"You're overthinking it. What kind of substitute would you want?" Ye Nanxiao said, frowning.
Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could express his gratitude, he heard Ye Nanxiao say, "I should be your substitute. You better hold on, or I'll beat you up."
Huo Yuhao [."]
Having witnessed the grand scene of "brotherly affection," Xuan Ziwen scratched his messy hair and asked, "Shall we order some food? Count me in."
Sure enough, even Teacher Xuan was led astray by Onii-chan, Huo Yuhao thought to himself, sighing for the miserable life that was about to befall him.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Xuan Ziwen, picked up a small stool, walked towards the door, and plopped down by the door.
"What's this kid up to now?" Xuan Ziwen looked at Ye Nanxiao's back and suddenly felt that Ye Nanxiao's behavior was just like those old men who carry stools to the door to sunbathe every day.
Xuan Ziwen watched for a while and then noticed Ye Nanxiao sitting at the door in a daze, so he went into the laboratory to begin his research experiments.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Ye Nanxiao sitting by the door, then his eyes flashed with golden light as he looked up at the sky outside.
Based on his understanding of Ye Nanxiao, and considering that Ye Nanxiao had recently sent a clone back to Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao deduced that Ye Nanxiao had probably timed it perfectly and was waiting for the clone to return.
After waiting for a while, Huo Yuhao caught the tiny snowflakes that were flying around in the air.
"Onii-chan, does your soul skill allow you to fly back no matter where your clone is?" Huo Yuhao asked, picking up a small stool and sitting down with Ye Nanxiao by the door.
Ye Nanxiao's clone soul skill was something he greatly envied. Who wouldn't want a clone that could learn and cook on its own?
Ye Nanxiao stared at Huo Yuhao with dead fish eyes and a fake smile. "Did you not pay attention in your individual combat training? How can a clone be so outrageous as to fly all over the world? Even the Snow Empress, the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, can't make a clone fly like that."
Having been looked down upon by Ye Nanxiao, Huo Yuhao chuckled sheepishly, "But both Dean Yan and Elder Xuan said they can't treat you like a human being, can they?"
"Um?"
"No, what I mean is, we can't treat you like a normal person, Onii-chan! I think what Elder Xuan and the others meant was that Onii-chan has strength and brains far beyond those of ordinary people!" Huo Yuhao quickly waved his hands, trying his best to survive.
Huo Yuhao spoke very quickly, like a machine gun. Ye Nanxiao only heard two-thirds of it, and with the same crooked-mouthed war god expression on his face, he said, "Not bad, the old man is definitely praising me!"
