Chapter 1.4. The Youth with the Spirit Eyes



Chapter 1.4. The Youth with the Spirit Eyes

The girl ran towards Huo Yuhao in high spirits. A greedy, hungry look appeared on her face as she said, Little brother, are you selling this roasted fish? It smells so good! How did you make it?

It wasnt that Huo Yuhao hadnt ever seen beautiful girls before. While he was in the Dukes Mansion, many of the servant girls had been very pretty, however none of them had ever come as close as the girl in front of him before. Furthermore, none of the girls in the Dukes Mansion were comparable to the girl in front of him either. She wasnt an absolute beauty that was perfectly flawless, but she had a sort of outstanding temperament.

Huo Yuhaos face turned somewhat red as he replied, I-Ill treat you both to a meal.

The girl giggled in response. Little brother, youve even become embarrassed. Then, I wont be polite. As she talked, she stretched her hand out to take the roasted fish that Huo Yuhao had passed over. She didnt seem to care about what she looked like as she carefully ate the roasted fish, then let out a loud cry of Hot!.

At that moment, the youth that had been following the girl walked over. He had a helpless look on his face as he raised his hand and greeted Huo Yuhao. Then he said to the girl, Xiao Ya, this little brother hasnt even eaten yet, yet youve already started eating.

Xiao Yas beautiful eyes widened as she angrily retorted, What did you just call me?

The youth immediately raised his hands in surrender, Fine, Teacher Xiao Ya, that should be fine, right?

Xiao Ya stared at him coldly and said, Thats the way that it should be. You should pay attention to your status. Although she wasnt that old, her gaze was filled with a charming look. The onlooking youth couldnt help but have his expression turned blank. Huo Yuhao, who was to the side, didnt dare to continue looking. He passed the other fish that hed roasted to the youth and said, Big brother, this is for you.

The youth smiled and said, Gentlemen shouldnt take good things that belong to others. Little brother, you still havent eaten. Did you catch these fish in the river?

Huo Yuhao nodded his head and said, Its not a problem, I can still roast more. While he spoke, he handed the roasted fish to the youth. Then, he skillfully took two of the fish that hed set aside, so that he could roast them on the wooden rack.

The youth gently smiled and said, Im Bei Bei and shes Tang Ya. Little brother, whats your name?

Im Huo Yuhao. He replied whilst carefully roasting the fish. During his journey, hed met many travellers while sleeping outdoors, and had also received a lot of help from them. Thus, he hadnt hesitated to give Tang Ya one of the fish hed roasted when she asked. The past few days had taught him the fact that people had to mutually help each other while they were outdoors.

Bei Bei sat next to Tang Ya. The way he ate the roasted fish was much more graceful than Tang Yas. At the very least, his hands werent fully stained with oil.

By the time Huo Yuhao had finished roasting the second batch of fish, Tang Ya was already impatiently waiting. Under Bei Beis helpless gaze, she snatched another roasted fish.

However, Bei Bei was unwilling to eat another fish, thus he motioned for Huo Yuhao to eat first. Huo Yuhao was already hungry, so he ate the other fish while continuing to roast more.

Although the seasonings used on the roasted fish were only salt and purple basil, the roasted fishs taste was extremely delicious. And although the ten fish werent that big, their size together was still quite large. All of the fish were eaten by the three.

This is simply too tasty. Ive never eaten such a delicious roasted fish before. Little brother Huo Yuhao, how about I hire you as a chef, okay? Tang Ya laid down on the grass, and stretched in satisfaction. Her curves were completely exposed, but she didnt seem to mind at all. Bei Bei scratched his head whilst looking at her, but didnt do anything about it.

Do you have any money? Teacher Xiao Ya? Bei Bei asked, splashing cold water on her idea.

Eh Ill have money in the future. Tang Ya was slightly embarrassed as she sat up. She glared at Bei Bei, seemingly unhappy at him for ruining her plans.

Huo Yuhao stood up and said, Brother Bei, Sister Tang, Ill have to leave first.

Bei Bei said, Little brother Huo, this is the desolate countryside, and isnt that far away from the Great Star Dou Forest where soul beasts wander. Just where do you intend to go?

Huo Yuhao shook his head, then grabbed his clothes that had already dried from the tree branch. He smiled and waved goodbye to the two after hed packed his clothes into his bag. Afterwards, he turned around and left under Tang Yas slightly astonished gaze.

He couldnt really want to go into the Great Star Dou Forest, could he? Tang Ya gazed at Huo Yuhaos shrinking back as she pondered.

Bei Bei shook his head and said, I cant be sure. I can vaguely sense that he possesses soulforce, but its very weak. It also seems that hes alone. This is truly somewhat strange.

Tang Ya stuck her tongue out and said, Since he has soulforce, why dont we recruit him into our Tang Sect?

Bei Bei unhappily replied, You cant be wanting to recruit someone into the sect, simply because they cooked you some delicious fish?

Tang Yas face reddened when her intentions were found out, and she stuck her tongue out at Bei Bei.

Bei Bei said, This Little brother Huo has definitely experienced something in his life. I can see that his maturity exceeds his peers from his gaze alone. However, I dont know what his talent is like.

A happy expression suffused on Tang Yas face as she replied, Since youre putting it like this, does that mean that youve agreed?

Bei Bei bitterly smiled, Sect leader of the great Tang Sect, Miss Tang. Before you took me in as a disciple, the Tang Sect only had you, and you alone, as its leader. Therefore, since your ambition is to strengthen the Tang Sect, its only natural that we recruit suitable people. This Little brother Huo looks like a rather steady and calm person. If his talent is passable, hes a suitable choice. And from the clothes that hes wearing, his family circumstances shouldnt be too good. Thus, our Tang Sect can recruit this kind of disciple now.

Tang Ya looked at Bei Bei with a slightly curious gaze as she said, Youre actually quite crafty. I couldnt tell that at all.

Bei Bei stood up and brushed the dust off of his clothes as he replied, This is simply called being astute, but calling me wise is fine too. Lets go. Since weve eaten so many of his roasted fish, we should at least protect him for a segment of his journey, just in case he gets in danger when he encounters some soul beasts, no matter whether we recruit him into the Tang Sect or not.

Tang Ya also stood up and giggled. Youre indeed quite smart this time, because your thoughts are actually identical to mine. Lets go after I clean up a bit.

Huo Yuhao was naturally unaware of the conversion between Bei Bei and Tang Ya. Hed originally planned to bring some roasted fish with him, but that plan couldnt be realised, as he hadnt wanted to expose his identity as a Soul Scholar, which was why he hadnt caught any more fish. His mother had taught him to talk with reservation when dealing with strangers. Although he had a good impression of Bei Bei and Tang Ya, he still decided to separate from them after he finished eating.

Even though Huo Yuhao was young, he still thought a lot about things. He could tell that Tang Ya and Bei Bei werent ordinary people. Bei Bei had said that this was the desolate countryside, yet they both didnt even have any bags on them. Thus, he believed that it would be better for him to separate from the two.

After eating the meal, hed already recovered from his prior exhaustion. He marked the position of the small stream on his map. Who knew, he might have a use for it when he returned.

After walking forward for a short time, a wooden signboard on the roadside caught his attention.

You will enter the territory of the Great Star Dou Forest in 50 metres. There are soul beasts roaming around, so please be careful.

Sure enough, he hadnt gotten lost. He was finally about to reach his destination. In addition to his current feeling of excitement, Huo Yuhao also felt a trace of nervousness. He touched the White Tiger Dagger on his lower back and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. Then, he took determined strides as he advanced forward.

Becoming a soul master was the only way out for him. This was the conviction that he held in his heart, and hed never regretted his decision.

The air gradually turned cool and refreshing, and an extraordinarily serious feeling seemed to exist within it. The Great Star Dou Forest was like a soul beast that had its mouth wide open for young creatures. He would either have an opportunityor be swallowed!
