Master and Disciple Meet Again
Chapter 632 Master and Disciple Meet Again
Inside the suite where Mingdou Academy is located at Tianling Hotel.
The members of the Mingdou team were also making final tactical arrangements.
Captain Ning Yuan analyzed and arranged the strategy: "In the next match, we will continue to use the tactic of coordinated advance."
"But this time our opponents are stronger than in the previous rounds. We may be facing a protracted battle or even a disadvantage for the first time. Therefore, everyone must ensure that they follow orders at all times."
The key players all recognized the pressure from Shrek Academy, and each of them showed a serious expression.
Huo Yuhao sat on a sofa in the distance, listening to his teammates' discussion with great interest, but he did not join in.
Huo Qiu'er sat opposite her and said indifferently, "You are really incompetent as a team leader."
Huo Yuhao scoffed: "My personal experience is of no help to these young people. They don't need me to brag about my seniority. I prefer my team members to explore on their own, and besides..."
He turned his gaze to the team members, who now had another person temporarily taking over the coaching duties.
While answering the team members' questions, Ye Guyi shared her experience accumulated in battle.
She is also a genius who cultivates both martial soul and soul tool, but unlike Huo Yuhao, she is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Therefore, the guidance she gives is more suitable for the team members to understand and digest.
"Although Shrek Academy's soul tools are constantly evolving, their mindset as soul masters in battle has never changed. This is something you should pay attention to in actual combat." After completing the tactical arrangements, Ye Guyi gave the team members a final reminder.
"It's getting late, everyone should get some rest. We still have one last full day of preparation time tomorrow."
The team members stood up and bowed to Ye Guyi in unison: "Yes, Senior Ye Guyi." Then they returned to their respective rooms.
Ye Guyi walked to Huo Yuhao's side, sighed softly, and whispered to Huo Yuhao, "We're about to have a match with Shrek Academy."
Huo Yuhao casually replied, "Mm."
Ye Guyi asked, puzzled, "But Huo Yuhao, you don't seem nervous at all."
Huo Yuhao replied nonchalantly, "This is their competition, why should I be nervous?"
"But isn't your goal to have Mingdou Academy defeat Shrek Academy?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Shrek being defeated by Ming Dou is an inevitable historical trend. I'm not in a hurry at all. Whether it's this year or the next, the final result will be the same."
Ye Guyi was stunned for a moment, unsure how to understand the emotions behind Huo Yuhao's words.
At first glance, it sounds like a nonchalant attitude of not caring about winning or losing, but upon closer examination, one can sense a strong sense of arrogance, as if Shrek no longer takes them seriously.
Huo Qiu'er couldn't help but glance at Huo Yuhao, feeling that Huo Yuhao now possessed a unique charm.
Calm.
She knew that Huo Yuhao was currently facing a powerful, lurking enemy and an uncertain fate.
But at this moment, Huo Yuhao, relying on an infinite time scale, seemed to possess the powerful confidence to defeat all his enemies. Compared to such formidable foes, Shrek Academy was merely an insignificant obstacle along the way.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye. Huo Yuhao was not in a hurry to break through his cultivation level. Instead, he slowly refined himself while steadily promoting the development of the continent.
Everything seemed to be going according to plan, and the occasional variables were not enough to affect the overall trend.
Unlike Huo Yuhao's nonchalant demeanor, Ye Guyi's eyes revealed deep melancholy: "But the opponent is Shrek Academy after all. Don't you have any particular feelings about it?"
"To be honest, I don't really feel anything special." Huo Yuhao shook his head.
Ye Guyi felt that Huo Yuhao should be able to understand her, since they had both dropped out of Shrek Academy.
Her feelings toward Shrek Academy were very complicated. She didn't resent Shrek Academy, and she was grateful to Xianlin'er and the others who treated her like their own daughter. However, she still couldn't accept that Shrek Academy had let Ma Xiaotao run away, so she left alone.
She publicly humiliated Shrek Academy during the group stage, and although the audience enjoyed the spectacle, she, as one of the parties involved, was actually quite unhappy. Huo Yuhao suddenly asked, "Do you hate Shrek Academy?"
"Hate?" Ye Guyi paused, then shook her head and said, "No, I don't hate."
She could also discern right from wrong. She could tell what kind of force Shrek was by comparing it with the Ordinary Alliance and the Evening Water Alliance. It was not an evil underground force. In fact, they had even formed the Shrek Inspection Group to uphold justice.
But it was precisely the Shrek Supervisory Group's indulgence in upholding justice that led to the disaster of Ma Xiaotao, making it even more unacceptable to Ye Guyi.
Huo Yuhao then asked, "So, are you grateful to Shrek Academy?"
Ye Guyi nodded earnestly and said from the bottom of her heart, "Yes, although I haven't been at Shrek Academy for long, I've learned a lot, especially from Dean Lin'er and Dean Qian."
The Ordinary Alliance only used her as a tool to deal with the Evening Water Alliance, but at Shrek Academy, Xianlin'er and Qian Duoduo taught her without reservation, allowing her to feel warmth for the first time.
"Do you want to see them?"
"I want to." Ye Guyi nodded subconsciously.
Huo Yuhao pointed towards the door: "Then open the door, they're here."
"Huh?" Ye Guyi was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she heard a rapid knocking at the door.
She didn't hesitate for long, quickly walked to the door, and opened it.
The door opened, and there was Xian Lin'er's familiar face, with Qian Duoduo beside her.
"Dean Lin'er, Dean Qian..." Ye Guyi murmured, momentarily lost in thought as she faced these two unexpected visitors.
"Gu Yi!" A glint of light flashed in Xian Lin'er's eyes, her tone filled with surprise. She immediately reached out her right hand, wanting to put it on Ye Gu Yi's shoulder.
Ye Guyi did not resist. She was tall, even taller than Xian Lin'er, but she let Xian Lin'er's hand rest on her shoulder.
The two had not seen each other for more than four years, and their reunion was full of surprise and joy for both of them.
There were no intense emotional outbursts, only warm and peaceful greetings between them.
Qian Duoduo also sincerely praised, "Guyi, you've grown up."
Xian Lin'er revealed a hint of pride. She could clearly sense that Ye Guyi's cultivation had actually broken through to the eighth ring. Even though they hadn't contributed much, the two of them were still genuinely happy for Ye Guyi.
In contrast, Huo Yuhao was not as surprised as Ye Guyi, because he had already detected Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo.
"Deans, please don't stand at the door, come in and have a seat."
Xian Lin'er's eyes crinkled as she pulled Ye Guyi and Qian Duoduo into the hall: "Yuhao, I knew it was you."
"I never imagined that such an excellent academy could be built in just a few years."
Qian Duoduo also laughed and said, "We are the deans of the rival academy. It wouldn't be good if others knew that you were inviting us like this."
As Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo entered, they both saw Huo Qiu'er and paused slightly. They greeted her, and Huo Qiu'er simply nodded in response. Neither of them revealed Huo Qiu'er's identity further, as their purpose today was to meet Ye Guyi and Huo Yuhao.
Ye Guyi smiled slightly: "It's alright, Dean Lin'er, Dean Qian, I don't care what others say. Even though I've left Shrek Academy, you will always be my teachers."
These words made Xian Lin'er grin from ear to ear: "Good, good, Gu Yi, Lao Qian and I couldn't teach you more."
Ye Guyi gently shook her head. Just the fact that Qian Duoduo had crafted a complete set of soul guide equipment for her without asking for anything in return was enough for her to remember.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Huo Yuhao jokingly asked, "Dean, the match between Ming Dou and Shrek Academy is about to start. Are you here to gather intelligence?"
