Chapter 96 Misunderstanding
After the business deal was successfully concluded, Wu Heyi felt an indescribable sense of joy and relief, as if he had been completely refreshed and invigorated.
This was something he never expected—he could easily earn a considerable sum of money just by having a simple late-night snack!
How could anyone not be happy about such a windfall?
Wu Heyi happily twirled the heavy money bag in his hand and walked briskly out of the bustling food stall.
The owner of the food stall stood at the entrance, tears welling in his eyes, watching Wu He's hurried departure with a look of deep reluctance.
Although he successfully obtained all the precious formulas from Wu Heyi, the price he paid was quite heavy, as he had to give away all the profits he had worked so hard to earn that month to the shrewd and capable businessman in front of him.
Looking at the seven or eight people, they all had round, fat bellies, as if they were several months pregnant. They walked with a swaying, waddling gait, like a group of slow-moving penguins, leisurely walking towards the academy.
As they walked, they occasionally let out satisfied hums, clearly stuffed from the lavish and delicious late-night snack.
At this moment, the college's gatekeeper was standing idly on duty at the school gate.
Suddenly, by the light of the bright moon, he saw seven or eight strangely shaped objects with round heads not far from the school gate, moving toward the school at a not too slow speed.
This sudden scene really frightened him, making him think that some terrible monster had attacked, so he immediately sounded the highest level three alarm without hesitation.
At the same time, two soul rings emitting a faint glow instantly appeared on his body, indicating that he was ready to deal with danger at any time.
As the piercing alarm blared throughout the campus, the college's security department responded swiftly.
Within minutes, a third of the security personnel rushed to the school gate as if facing a formidable enemy, and quickly began to build a solid defensive line, ready to prevent any possible accidents from happening.
They stood at the school gate, their gazes shining through the cracks of the slightly worn iron gate, where moonlight spilled onto the ground like a veil.
In the moonlight, which was as bright as mercury, several figures were slowly approaching the school gate.
Those figures looked round and mysterious, as if they came from an unknown world.
They move silently, yet they exude an indescribable sense of oppression.
Wu Heyi was unusually restrained about his late-night snack tonight.
Having become accustomed to and even somewhat weary of all kinds of delicacies in his previous life, when faced with a table full of sumptuous dishes, he would simply pick up a small piece with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and gently chew it, savoring its flavor and secretly comparing it with the food in his previous world.
That's why he was the only one among those present who didn't have a bulging belly and maintained a relatively slender figure.
Wu Heyi glanced up at the school gate in the distance and was stunned by the sight before him—a group of younger students were lined up neatly, seemingly waiting for his return.
He was extremely surprised:
"All I did was lead my troops out to win a battle!"
Why would these people go to such lengths, even lining up to welcome us in the dead of night?
Thinking of this, Wu Heyi couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Although he said polite things like "No need for that," he was secretly overjoyed, like a blooming flower expressing its happiness.
As the group approached the school gate with light steps, less than ten meters away, a furious shout suddenly came from inside the school.
It turned out that the gatekeeper was the one who shouted loudly:
"Who exactly are you? How dare you force your way into the Heaven Dou Empire's Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy!"
The roar, like a thunderclap, ripped through the silent night sky, instantly putting everyone's nerves on edge.
Then, a large number of students surged out from both sides of him like a tide.
In an instant, dazzling lights flashed, and colorful, uniquely shaped soul rings rose from their bodies, slowly rotating around them.
At the same time, various strange martial spirits also appeared one by one, some of which were shaped like ferocious beasts, baring their fangs and claws.
Some resemble birds in flight, as if about to take off;
Others resemble spiritual plants, swaying gracefully.
They adopted a posture of being ready to attack, as if they were about to launch a fierce offensive at any moment.
Wu Heyi was initially overjoyed, thinking that these enthusiastic figures were junior students who had come to welcome them back to campus.
However, when he looked closely, a wave of disappointment washed over him—it turned out that the group of people in front of him were actually members of the school's security department on duty.
Faced with this unexpected situation, Wu He was momentarily at a loss for words, and several black lines appeared on his forehead.
Left with no other choice, he took out his school badge from his pocket, held it up high and waved it to indicate that he was not an outsider.
By this time, the night was deep, and only a dim, yellowish moon shone faintly in the sky.
In the dim moonlight, the gatekeeper squinted, trying hard to make out the school badge in Wu Heyi's hand.
After a long while, and after repeatedly confirming, he finally managed to recognize that it was indeed the school's nameplate, and that the person standing at the school gate was Wu Heyi himself.
"Oh, it's Xiao Wu! It's so late, why are you back at school at this hour? And... are these guys following you some strange spirit beasts you just captured?"
As the gatekeeper spoke, he curiously observed the six or seven soul beasts behind Wu Heyi.
When the other junior students from the security department learned that the person outside the door was their familiar senior, Wu Heyi, they all put away their martial spirits and lowered their guard.
However, they were still very interested in the mysterious soul beasts that Wu Heyi had brought back, and they gathered around, whispering and discussing them amongst themselves.
Why are these soul beasts so well-behaved and obedient? At the same time, they are also very curious as to why Wu Heyi is returning to school so late!
Wu Heyi was incredibly embarrassed once again when he heard the gatekeeper's question!
"Grandpa, please put on your reading glasses!"
Wu Heyi shouted at the top of his lungs.
"They are all elite students from our school! They are not those soul beasts you mentioned!"
Well, now it's the security guard's turn to be embarrassed!
He quickly turned on the old, dilapidated light in the guardhouse, and by the dim light, he was finally able to see the person behind Wu Heyi.
This was the first time he had ever seen anyone eat their way to such a round belly that it was impossible to tell whether they were human or animal from a distance!
The junior students from the security department also peeked out to check and confirm.
After seeing clearly, they all showed embarrassed expressions, praying that the senior students behind Wu Heyi would not remember what they looked like.
After all, we'll need these senior students' help when we go on missions outside the academy in the future.
