Chapter 135.1: Hallmaster of the Illustrious Virtue Hall, Jing Hongchen
Elder Mu revealed a look of disappointment on his face and said, A persons life is limited, even for Titled Douluo like us. I can feel that my time is coming. After I go, the academy will have to be supported by you and the various elders. Little Xuan, youre too headstrong, and not composed enough. You must remain calm when you meet with something in the future and think of the academy.
Little Xuan was shocked and replied, Elder Mu, you
Elder Mu chuckled, Dont worry, I wont die so soon. I must hang on for a few more years until these little fellows mature before Im relieved enough to go. As he spoke, his benevolent gaze landed on Huo Yuhao and the other two.
Huo Yuhao, come over here. Elder Mu waved toward Huo Yuhao.
Yes. Huo Yuhao hurried towards Elder Mu and came to his side respectfully.
Elder Mu smiled slightly and said, Good kid, Im pleased with your answer just now. Youre not old, but youre very resilient. I was especially shocked by your development after you returned from the tournament. A soul master can be nurtured in all areas except attitude. You are good, very good.
Huo Yuhao lowered his head and said, Elder Mu, you overestimate me. Im an orphan. I have no more kin since my mother passed away. I was only filled with hatred then. I met Teacher Xiao Ya and eldest senior in Star Dou Forest, and they sent me to Shrek Academy using the Tang Sects slot. I grew up with my mother in that freezing place since I was young. All I felt was humiliation and indifference. It was only after entering Shrek Academy that I feel a familial sense. The academy gave me warmth, fed and clothed me, and even educated me to become a soul master and a person. This is my family. Everything except family can change. I can do anything to protect and preserve the glory of my family.
His words were emotional. His eyes turned red as he spoke.
Elder Xuan was a little shocked as he looked at him. Elder Mu grabbed onto Huo Yuhaos right hand and said, When I first saw you, I knew that you were a kid with a story. Thats because the expression in your eyes was different from most others. Your eyes might have been very clear, but they concealed your pain. Your pain has only disappeared recently. As you said, Shrek is your family. Its also our family. I told Du Busi when I conversed with him earlier that youre my disciple. He told me that he wont target you as long as youre in Shrek. I understood what he meant. When you graduate from Shrek, he may target you again.
Huo Yuhao was stunned. He didnt expect that the Body Sect still hadnt given up on him.
Elder Xuan couldnt take it anymore. Stupid kid, quickly acknowledge your teacher.
Ah! Huo Yuhao only reacted now. He knelt down immediately and bowed to Elder Mu respectfully. Elder Mu, please accept me as your disciple.
Elder Mu laughed and said, Good kid, stand up. He grabbed Huo Yuhaos right hand and pulled gently. A gentle strength was injected into Huo Yuhaos body and lifted him up.
Elder Mu was all smiles when he saw the sincere look in Huo Yuhaos eyes. The more he looked, the more pleased he was.
He couldnt make the proposal to Huo Yuhao to become his disciple with his current status. He could only hint. Fortunately, Elder Xuan reminded Huo Yuhao from the side, so he didnt miss out on such a great opportunity.
Huo Yuhao tried to test the waters by asking, Elder Mu, are you agreeable?
Elder Mu laughed. Silly kid, its time for you to say it.
