Wang Dong's "Rumors"
Chapter 57 Wang Dong's "Rumors"
The inner courtyard is a two-story courtyard.
Zhang Lexuan carried Huo Yutong and placed her on her bed, covering her with a blanket.
Then she went back downstairs and saw Jiang Cheng sitting in the living room.
"Is Na'er already asleep?"
When Zhang Lexuan returned, she saw Na'er in the living room, but now she was nowhere to be seen.
"She went to sleep after we got back."
Jiang Cheng nodded.
Na'er stayed in the living room, waiting specifically for them to return before she could finally go to sleep.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Na'er cherished this hard-won home.
"Why did you come down?"
Jiang Cheng thought Zhang Lexuan would stay up there.
After all, Zhang Lexuan knew that Huo Yutong was a girl, so she probably wouldn't mind sharing a room with her.
"I'm not used to sleeping with someone next to me."
Zhang Lexuan was genuinely resistant.
Even though Huo Yutong was a girl, she still found it hard to accept.
Perhaps, because I'm used to sleeping alone, I feel very uncomfortable having someone next to me.
"Then I am not just anyone."
Jiang Cheng stood up and picked up Zhang Lexuan.
It's already past midnight; we can't just let Zhang Lexuan go back to her own room.
It's been a while since anyone has taken care of it. If you want to stay there, it needs to be cleaned up again.
Since Zhang Lexuan has so tactfully offered herself up, he has no reason to refuse!
"I won't cultivate tonight, I'll get some rest."
Zhang Lexuan hugged Jiang Cheng's neck, her face showing exhaustion.
The use of the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Technique had even exhausted her body.
It was only because she was a Soul Douluo, whose physical strength far surpassed that of Jiang Cheng and Huo Yuhao, that she appeared to be in better condition.
"That's what I think too."
Jiang Cheng had no interest in cultivating.
Their mental energy was also excessively depleted, and they needed to replenish it through sleep.
As for soul power, I'll replenish it slowly after I wake up tomorrow.
"I'm going to take a shower before I go to sleep."
Zhang Lexuan didn't shower upstairs because she was worried about disturbing Huo Yutong's rest.
Since Jiang Cheng wasn't asleep yet, she decided to go to his room, wash up, and then go to sleep.
"I don't mind, you can wash it tomorrow."
Jiang Cheng didn't give her the right to refuse at all.
He had just laid Zhang Lexuan down in his arms when his eyelids started to droop, and soon he fell asleep with steady breathing.
This sleep.
They arrived directly at the morning of the next day.
"Jiang Cheng, I found your clothes."
"Today is your entrance exam, don't forget you still need to make an appearance. I'll go upstairs first to see if Huo Yutong is awake yet."
Zhang Lexuan got up very early in the morning.
After she finished washing up, she saw that it was almost time, so she woke Jiang Cheng up. If she hadn't woken him up, he definitely would have slept until noon.
"I see."
Jiang Cheng reluctantly got out of bed.
His resentment towards Yan Shaozhe has now intensified.
What kind of bullshit entrance exam is this? He's already an inner court disciple; he's just been studying theory in the outer court for a year.
That guy surnamed Yan might just be trying to show off to the Soul Guidance Department, which is why he had to be made to make an appearance.
"Okay, I'll go call Huo Yutong."
Zhang Lexuan cupped Jiang Cheng's cheeks, kissed him on the lips, and then left Jiang Cheng's room.
As for Na'er, she is still a child, so letting her sleep more is good for her physical and mental health.
Once her soul power recovers, we'll take Na'er to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain her first soul ring.
Zhang Lexuan was mainly worried that Xiong Jun could detect the aura of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear from Jiang Cheng.
At that time, the two of them, along with Na'er, would be no match for Xiong Jun, and there's a good chance they'll run into serious trouble.
In fact, Jiang Cheng wasn't worried about this issue at all.
Apart from deities with divine consciousness, everyone else is illusory in the face of anti-detection devices.
His true form can even block out divine sense.
"This is such a hassle."
Jiang Cheng took a shower first. Then he sat in the living room, waiting for Huo Yutong to come down so they could go to the inner courtyard canteen together.
If he didn't go with Huo Yutong, Huo Yutong wouldn't be able to eat anything in the inner courtyard.
Zhang Lexuan left early in the morning.
Most of the tedious tasks of the Sea God Pavilion fell on her shoulders, because she was the youngest and belonged to the Martial Soul Department!
Fan Yu mainly handles the Soul Guidance Department, but there are far fewer issues there than on her end.
"Jiang Cheng!"
Huo Yutong put on the outer academy's school uniform and walked quickly down from the second floor.
She seemed a little embarrassed when Zhang Lexuan woke her up in the morning, but she has finally adjusted now.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
"Let's go to the cafeteria for a meal and replenish our soul power."
"Today's entrance exam will involve you battling a spirit beast."
Jiang Cheng took Huo Yutong to the inner courtyard canteen and brazenly freeloaded.
Neither the canteen manager nor the inner court disciples dared to speak ill of these two "outer court disciples".
They were terrified of offending Jiang Cheng and suffering the consequences.
Only when Dai Yueheng arrived did he inadvertently glance at Huo Yutong, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Cheng took in his expression perfectly.
As expected, things turned out pretty much as he had guessed; Dai Yueheng was probably behind it all.
However, this person is good at disguising himself and is not on the same level as his spoiled younger brother.
……
Outer courtyard, the arena.
The scene of the first-grade entrance exam.
"Hey, did you guys hear anything? There was a lot of noise coming from Poseidon Lake last night?"
When Wang Dong saw Jiang Cheng and Huo Yuhao coming over together, he immediately went over to them.
He grabbed Jiang Cheng's sleeve and began to tell him the gossip he had heard that morning.
"I heard you, what's wrong?"
Jiang Cheng asked in a serious tone.
He did hear it, and very clearly, even though the distance was almost negligible.
"I heard from the teacher that the Body Sect attacked Shrek Academy last night. Now that everyone is being pulled out for the entrance exam, the matter should have been resolved."
Wang Dong started early in the morning.
I heard that teachers and classmates were discussing this matter.
"More specifically?"
Jiang Cheng went straight over.
Huo Yutong, standing to the side, awkwardly picked at her toes.
Wang Dong was just watching the gossip from the two people in front of him!
"It is said that the Sect Master of the Body Sect summoned a Body Martial Soul that was tens of meters long, and slaughtered everyone under the moonlight, suppressing the experts of the Sea God Pavilion so much that they couldn't even raise their heads. In the end, it was only after the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion personally intervened that the conflict was resolved..."
Wang Dong looked around and, finding no one paying attention to them, began to explain.
He had heard his eldest and second fathers mention the sect leader of the Body Sect; he was a level 98 Super Douluo.
Only a powerhouse like this could push Shrek Academy to this point. Only the Sea God Pavilion Master's personal intervention can resolve the crisis.
"The Sect Master of the Body Sect, is he that powerful?"
Huo Yutong was dumbfounded after hearing this.
They suppressed the powerful figures of the Sea God Pavilion so much that they couldn't even raise their heads.
Also, how did they become the sect leaders of the Body Sect? Is that person very strong?
"Nonsense, a level 98 Super Douluo with three 100,000-year spirit rings, able to suppress a group of powerful figures from the Sea God Pavilion, isn't that impressive?"
Wang Dong felt that this rumor had some credibility.
Aside from the Body Sect, only their Haotian Sect possesses such strength.
As for the Holy Spirit Cult, it is currently still in hiding, and Wang Dong is unaware of its existence.
"What if I told you that I was the one who made the noise last night?"
Jiang Cheng put his arm around Wang Dong's shoulder and whispered in his ear.
He estimated that these rumors were fueled by Shrek Academy, and that they were fabricated in a very convincing way.
