Chapter 211: The Incident Ends
Jing Hongchen's lips twitched. Not to mention that when Huo Yuhao was blocked at the door, he happened to take out the image-recording soul tool that Mingdetang was still in the research and development stage, and he happened to use it under the noses of Wang Shaojie and a group of people without being discovered.
Judging from Huo Yuhao's previous performance, he seemed to have anticipated this kidnapping and seemed to have a good understanding of Wang Shaojie's personality.
Even though Xu Mochen didn't say it, Jing Hongchen, with his grasp of time, could naturally calculate that Huo Yuhao had been locked in the cell for almost a quarter of an hour. That's enough time for Xu Mochen to administer a round of torture, so how could Huo Yuhao have escaped unscathed?
The only possibility is that Huo Yuhao successfully coaxed Xu Mochen, making Xu Mochen wait for reinforcements.
As for why Xu Mochen still initiated the process of stripping the dragon pillar later? Of course, it was just for show, to allow Jing Hongchen to cancel it.
Otherwise, if Jing Hongchen rushed in and found Xu Mochen leisurely drinking tea, Xu Mochen's act of following the rules would be untenable, and how could he then shift the main responsibility?
Recalling how Huo Yuhao had used Xiao's trick to extort a secret medicine from him, allowing him to successfully absorb the third ring of the Ten Thousand Years, Jing Hongchen knew that this seemingly naive young man had a big appetite and was extremely adept at seizing opportunities to benefit himself.
Could it be that this mental attribute allows one to have a keen insight into people's hearts?
If we don't bleed a little this time, the video of the prince of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy bullying civilians will probably spread throughout the entire Ming Capital tomorrow.
What's more, not only do I have to feed this kid, but Shrek Academy is also waiting for my explanation...
Jing Hongchen didn't believe that Wang Shaojie alone could shut up those Shrek guys.
Although she knew that Huo Yuhao had deliberately facilitated this, it was Wang Shaojie who had provoked it first, so no matter how Jing Hongchen tried to explain, she was not in the right.
"Ahem, Brother Huo, how about this? Xu Mochen, who took you away without distinguishing right from wrong, although I have no right to deal with him as the son of a prince, I will make him come to apologize to you in person."
"The academy also bears some responsibility for this mistake. Since this incident has delayed your plan to enter the Mingde Hall, as the head of the Mingde Hall, I hereby grant you special permission to enter the Mingde Hall without taking the exam and study under Xuan Ziwen. How about that? Moreover, from now on, you can take away all the materials you use when learning soul tool making in the academy. Of course, this does not include any core magic array blueprints. If anyone in the academy dares to provoke you again, just come to me directly, and I will help you get revenge."
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Huo Yuhao said gratefully, "Thank you for your kindness, Hall Master. I will certainly live up to your expectations and study hard in the academy."
"Hmm, as expected of Shrek's top student, your awareness is truly high. If my students could focus on their studies like you, I could have an easier time too."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao knew when to stop, Jing Hongchen nodded in satisfaction. With Huo Yuhao appeased, things would be much easier to handle at Shrek Academy.
"Would you like to rest here a little longer, or go back to class first?"
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and said, "It's so late and I haven't gone to the lab yet. I'm sure Professor Xuan is worried. I'll go to the lab first and let Professor Xuan know I'm safe."
Jing Hongchen nodded and said, "Alright, if you encounter any trouble, be sure to tell me. Don't feel embarrassed."
After bidding farewell to Jing Hongchen, Huo Yuhao walked leisurely towards the teaching building after leaving the infirmary.
"Um?"
Before even entering the teaching building, Huo Yuhao spotted a familiar figure.
"Teacher Lin, you're here too."
At this moment, Lin Jiayi was leading several guards, preparing to enter the teaching building.
"Student Huo."
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, Lin Jiayi greeted him somewhat awkwardly.
Huo Yuhao is back, but they still haven't caught this guy... I should have known better than to call the guards.
Although Lin Jiayi could easily defeat Wang Shaojie with the power of an eighth-level Soul Master, wouldn't it be embarrassing if Wang Shaojie resisted? Naturally, such a task should be handled by his lackeys.
"Ahem..." Lin Jiayi tentatively asked, "Shall we go up together?"
"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded.
Upon arriving at the third laboratory on the fifth floor, Huo Yuhao swiped his card to open the laboratory door with a beep.
Upon hearing this sound, everyone in the lab instinctively turned to look at the doorway.
Wang Shaojie, in particular, was already feeling guilty in front of Xuan Ziwen after being warned by him. When the sound of a card being swiped suddenly rang out, he looked at the door in disbelief.
Besides those present, only two people could swipe their cards to enter: Jing Hongchen, who oversees the entire academy and whose access cards can pass through any gate, and Huo Yuhao.
Neither of these is good news for Wang Shaojie.
The door slowly opened, and a figure strolled in.
"Huo Yuhao?!"
Wang Shaojie's incredulous voice rang out.
Everyone in the lab immediately focused their attention on Wang Shaojie, for no other reason than that Wang Shaojie's behavior was too abnormal.
Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Shaojie with a smile and said warmly, "Hi, we meet again."
"Huo Yuhao, you...you weren't arrested by the Royal Guard...I know! You actually dared to escape!"
Upon hearing Wang Shaojie's words, Huo Yuhao had not yet made any statement, while everyone else looked at Wang Shaojie in disbelief.
Even though Ju Zi, Ke Ke, and the other two were all dissatisfied with Huo Yuhao, they didn't harbor any desire for revenge. Unexpectedly, Wang Shaojie actually sought revenge in private and even summoned the royal guards.
Do you think they don't know what the Royal Inspectorate is? Once someone is arrested there, very few of them come out alive.
Xuan Ziwen angrily retorted, "Wang Shaojie, didn't I warn you that this matter should end here? Did you ignore my words?!"
Rebuked by Xuan Ziwen, Wang Shaojie retorted, "They're nothing but lowly commoners! How dare they harm the royal bloodline! They must pay the price!"
"Untouchables..."
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this address.
In nearly thirty years across two lifetimes, this was the first time Huo Yuhao had been addressed in this way. He shook his head and slowly walked towards Wang Shaojie.
"What are you doing? I'm warning you, if you dare to escape from the Royal Scouts, even if you're one of Shrek's men, the Scouts have the right to execute you on the spot."
Seeing Wang Shaojie's blustering but ultimately weak demeanor, Huo Yuhao suddenly lost interest.
This piece of trash isn't even worth playing with. I bet if you stuck your face to him, the other person wouldn't dare fight back.
What a loss! Just to enter Mingde Hall as a Level 3 Soul Master, I actually got beaten up by this kind of trash.
The previous Dai Huabin was at least a truly ruthless person, so there was some interest in fighting him.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao turned to the door and said, "Teacher Lin, you should arrest this person yourselves."
