Chapter 402 Huo Yuhao Facing the Undercurrents Alone
After receiving Orange's orders and action charm, Shadow Rabbit carefully returned to the stronghold hidden in Mingdu.
Entering a hotel, Shadow Rabbit greeted a staff member at the front desk.
"The weather's nice today, isn't it?" the staff member greeted with a smile, repeating their daily routine.
"That's true, but I always carry an umbrella with me," Shadow Rabbit replied, a sweet smile appearing on her face.
The staff member nodded, exchanged a glance with Yingtu, and casually touched a hidden compartment on the front desk with his left hand.
After greeting everyone, Shadow Rabbit entered the room in the inn that contained a secret passage.
After Yingtu entered the room, the staff at the front desk changed all the room signs in the corridor.
Following the secret passage out of Mingdu, one finds numerous boats moored on a river surrounding the city, facilitating passage for pedestrians.
Shadow Rabbit transformed into a middle-aged woman, carrying a bathtub, and stepped into a boat.
The river is not very close to Mingdu, but the scenery along its course is beautiful, attracting many tourists and giving rise to the ferry industry, which provides a livelihood for many ordinary people.
"Sister Snake, I'm back," Shadow Rabbit said to a woman sitting at the bow of the boat.
Shadow Snake nodded and put the oar back on the support.
The moment the oars touched the support, tiny currents of electricity emanated from the support and entered the hull.
Shadow Snake removed the disguise from her face, revealing a bright and cheerful one.
"What are Master's next orders?" Shadow Serpent asked.
"Looking for someone, and looking for someone more." Shadow Rabbit took out the scroll and talisman.
"That's a pretty good way to put it, but it's like saying nothing at all." A chubby girl carrying a large bag of rice cakes climbed out of the ship.
"These are two tasks! Piglet!" Shadow Rabbit said, dissatisfied.
"I see." Shadow Pig grabbed two rice cakes and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Two tasks. The first is to find Ye Nanxiao, and the second is to find a couple," Shadow Snake said calmly, then began to organize his equipment.
Shadow Rabbit hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master wants us all to go."
As soon as the words were spoken, both Shadow Serpent, who was organizing his equipment, and Shadow Pig, who was munching on rice cakes, were stunned.
"Say everything you haven't said yet!" Shadow Snake glared at Shadow Rabbit.
Shadow Rabbit quickly shook her head and waved her hands, saying, "That's all, that's all!"
"It seems that Master has fallen into a love affair." Shadow Serpent's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and he reached out and tapped the wooden board.
"Tiger Girl, wake up! I know you're awake."
"Here you are."
A small, sleepy little girl crawled out of the ship's hull, clutching a pillow in her arms.
"The plan," Shadow Serpent said succinctly.
Shadow Tiger glanced at the talisman, then spread his hands. "If Master tells me to go, then I'll go! What's there to say? Anyway, my sisters' lives were given to me by Master."
The women fell silent for a moment. Yinghu's words were simple: their lives had been saved by Ju Zi, and they would do whatever Ju Zi told them to do.
"Call the sisters, let's go tonight." Shadow Serpent held the amulet in his hand, carefully examining the pattern on it.
"The pattern of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce is the highest grade of the Heavenly Cloud Pattern," Shadow Serpent muttered to himself.
Shadow Tiger yawned. "Within the sphere of influence of the Audu Chamber of Commerce, the safe houses are at our disposal."
"Shall we go to the Aodu Building?" Shadow Rabbit asked.
"No need, the Shadows of Aodu are more direct than us," Shadow Tiger said, shaking his head.
"How are things going between Yang Mei and Huo Yuhao?" Ying Zhu, who had been munching on a rice cake, suddenly asked.
"Isn't Huo Yuhao that person's younger brother? He should be able to provide some physical characteristics that will help us find him."
Yinghu placed the pillow on the wooden floor, lay down on it, and said in a muffled voice, "No progress. That kid is just extremely anxious about his brother. Whenever Yangmei mentions Ye Nanxiao, he looks like he owes millions. Besides, he's not lecherous or greedy. Yangmei can't do anything about it."
"Forget it," Shadow Tiger sighed, then began to snore.
"Let Sheep Girl come back." Shadow Snake took out a communication soul tool.
"Huo, why are you eating alone in the cafeteria?" A tall girl codenamed Shadow Sheep sat down next to Huo Yuhao, carrying a large bowl of meat.
"My senior brother is in seclusion conducting research, our teacher is nowhere to be found, and one of my two senior sisters has gone on a mission, while the other has gone to make money," Huo Yuhao said casually, scooping up a large spoonful of rice and stuffing it into his mouth.
He Caitou went with Fan Yu to organize a team, Xuan Ziwen has disappeared again, Ju Zi is currently on an unknown mission, Ke Ke went to earn rare metals, and the entire laboratory is now Huo Yuhao's domain.
"Huh? Even the teachers aren't here?" Shadow Sheep asked in surprise as he took a bite of a large chicken leg.
"Hmm." Huo Yuhao glanced at Ying Yang, a girl he had met by chance last week.
At first, Yingyang only shared a table with me because there were too many people, but later, as we met more often, we naturally started eating together.
Both of them had enormous appetites, so they could barely keep each other company.
Shadow Sheep devoured its food much faster than Huo Yuhao.
As she leaned back in her chair, rubbing her stomach contentedly, Huo Yuhao had only managed to finish half of the food on his plate.
"I'm going to get a drink, do you want one? I can bring it to you on my way," Shadow Sheep said, standing up.
Huo Yuhao initially wanted to refuse, saying he could get the drink himself, but what came out of his mouth was, "Okay, plum juice it is."
Shadow Sheep nodded and quickly ran to the beverage area.
Watching Ying Yang's departing figure, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly, then he smiled self-deprecatingly, "He's just a dining buddy, why all the scheming?"
I might have been too stressed.
Huo Yuhao sped up the process of consuming the food. He still had many experiments to conduct and numerous cultivation tasks to complete that day.
Ye Nanxiao's departure ultimately left Huo Yuhao feeling uneasy.
In the somewhat unfamiliar Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, the loneliness he felt from his childhood, living alone, returned and haunted him once more.
Huo Yuhao then realized that all the comfort he had experienced after arriving at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy was provided by Ye Nanxiao.
With his elder brother in charge, he only needed to follow the established plan to carry out his studies. Any external troubles would be dealt with by Ye Nanxiao.
When Yingyang returned with the drinks, Huo Yuhao leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window.
"Why aren't you eating? Are you waiting for your drink?" Yingyang put the drink on the table and started drinking it by herself.
Huo Yuhao took the drink, thanked him, and drank it silently.
The thought of Ye Nanxiao leaving due to urgent business, and the undercurrents swirling within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, made him lose his appetite.
"Where is Muddy now? Is she eating well? With Muddy's strength and methods, she should be able to come back safely, right?" These questions kept lingering in Huo Yuhao's mind.
With a persistent bad feeling, Huo Yuhao wanted to use the power of the Eye of Destiny to find Ye Nanxiao several times, but was dissuaded by Elder Xuan.
Given his current level of control over the Eye of Fate, forcibly determining a person's existence through fate would only backfire on his spirit, causing irreversible mental damage.
Yingyang seemed oblivious to the gloom on Huo Yuhao's face. After finishing his meal, he let out a burp and began clearing away the dishes.
"I'm leaving now! I have class this afternoon. Do you have class this afternoon?" Yingyang asked casually.
"No, it's just time for fresh air," Huo Yuhao said casually.
"Huh? When?" Shadow Sheep blinked, asking in confusion.
"It doesn't have any special meaning; it's just free time for research," Huo Yuhao said, shaking his head.
Yingyang looked envious and said, "Wow, I really envy you. The teacher lets you do your research freely, unlike me, who's always worried about whether I can finish the assignments the teacher gives me today!"
"Too much freedom leads to more troubles and worries." Huo Yuhao continued to stare at the scenery outside the window.
"Is it the same for the other students in your lab? Or is this how the exchange student courses are?" Yingyang asked, clearing away her plates.
Huo Yuhao smiled, turned around and said, "You misunderstood. It's not that our exchange student courses are easy. On the contrary, there are many courses and a lot of assignments. The teachers are still very strict. It's just that we've almost finished the coursework, so we have a final period of relaxation."
"After all, the exchange program will end soon, and I'll be going back."
Huo Yuhao fiddled with the beverage bottle in his hand and sighed almost imperceptibly.
"Hey! Are we going back?" Shadow Sheep said, sounding a little unhappy.
"What, do you really want me to stay and have dinner with you?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile. Because the girl in front of him loved to eat, she often ate longer than the other students in the same research lab. Over time, she ended up eating alone.
"No, it's just that I can't hear any more news about Ye Nanxiao anymore. I haven't even asked him for an autograph yet!" Yingyang said with a cute, girlish expression of longing.
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. So it was another girl who was infatuated with Ye Nanxiao's stunning good looks. He had thought she was reluctant to part with him.
The girl-chasing techniques taught by my third senior brother seem to be completely useless!
No wonder I haven't made much progress in pursuing that senior!
Xu Sanshi, who was inexplicably blamed: ?
"If you have the chance, you must tell me about Ye Nanxiao! It's been several days since we've heard from him, which has left our fan club quite puzzled." Yingyang picked up the plate, smiled at Huo Yuhao, and then left.
"News about Ni Jiang? I'd love to know too!" Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile, clearing away his plates.
Huo Yuhao's expression and reaction after Ying Yang left were all seen by a kitchen lady who was serving food as she turned her head.
Before leaving, Huo Yuhao seemed to sense something was amiss. He scanned the entire dining hall and immediately spotted the patrol team members mixed in with the students eating.
"Looks like they're still keeping an eye on me." A hint of coldness flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
Since Xu Tianran ascended the throne, there have been more spies monitoring Shrek Academy.
"But these people are destined to have worked in vain."
