"Uh... Director Long, what brings you here? Is there something you need so late?"
Su Mo pushed open the door and stepped aside to invite Long Hengxu in.
"no need!"
Seeing this, Long Hengxu quickly waved his hand, forcing an awkward smile, "Su Mo, it's just that there are some things I'd like to discuss with you about the academy."
"whats the matter?"
Su Mo was somewhat puzzled as to what Donghai Academy needed to discuss with him about.
"Um... the academy hopes you can go back as soon as possible."
As Long Hengxu spoke, he carefully observed Su Mo's expression, afraid that Su Mo would be dissatisfied.
"Going back soon?"
"That day, the Ocean Grand Competition..."
Su Mo was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Long Hengxu had come to find her because of this.
"No need to participate!" Long Hengxu immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum. "You've already made a name for Donghai Academy in today's competition. Whether you participate in the Tianhai Grand Competition or not is irrelevant."
After thinking for a moment, Su Mo pondered and said, "I understand, but I need to discuss it with Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi!"
Su Mo wasn't particularly concerned about whether or not to participate in the Tianhai Grand Competition, since he already knew the location of the Tianhai Treasure Vault.
Once things calm down, I can sweep everything out of the Tianhai Treasure Vault.
However, since I participated in the team competition with Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi, it would be too unfair to the two of them if I withdrew from the competition.
Therefore, Su Mo needed to ask for their opinions.
As for forging competitions, there was no point in continuing to participate after becoming Yuan Bao'er's apprentice.
"They've both agreed!"
"I had already asked for their opinions before coming to you."
Seeing this, Long Hengxu hurriedly spoke up, afraid that Su Mo would regret it if he was a step too slow.
"agreed?"
Su Mo was a little surprised.
But upon closer reflection, it makes sense; Xu Xiaoyan has never been interested in Soul Fighting.
If he hadn't dragged her into the competition, Xu Xiaoyan wouldn't have bothered coming to Tianhai City at all.
Mu Xi, needless to say, came to the Tianhai Grand Competition mainly to participate in the forging competition.
"Okay, what time are you going back tomorrow?"
Su Mo inquired about the return time.
How about 9 a.m. tomorrow?
Long Hengxu rubbed his hands together, somewhat embarrassed.
"So early?"
Su Mo raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting Donghai Academy to be in such a hurry.
"It seems something has happened that I don't know about."
However, Su Mo didn't take it to heart. What could be so important that Long Hengxu and the others would know about it?
"Row!"
Su Mo readily agreed to Long Hengxu's request.
"Whoo~"
Seeing that Su Mo had agreed to his request, Long Hengxu breathed a sigh of relief.
According to intelligence provided by the Tianhai Alliance, several established academies in other regions are sending people to Tianhai City at breakneck speed in an attempt to win over Su Mo.
Although Su Mo rejected Tianhai Academy's offer of enticement without hesitation today, the problem is that Tianhai Academy is only a dominant force in the eastern region.
Once you leave the eastern region, Tianhai Academy is no different from their Donghai Academy; they're both just roadside academies.
Not to mention compared to those established academies with titled Douluo in charge.
If Su Mo is moved by those people, then they won't even have a place to cry.
"Then I won't disturb your rest!"
After finishing his sentence, Long Hengxu left in a hurry.
The next morning.
As the first hint of dawn appeared on the horizon, pale golden sunlight streamed into the hotel room through the gaps in the curtains.
After a good night's sleep, Su Mo slowly opened her eyes, stretched, and her joints made a series of crisp "crackling" sounds.
Everything from last night still seemed to be swirling in his mind. He squinted slightly, recalling Long Hengxu's cautious expression, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Honestly, you're acting like I'm some big shot."
After getting dressed and throwing off the covers, Su Mo pulled back the curtains, letting the morning sunlight stream in and bathing the entire room in a golden glow.
The warm sun shining on my face made me feel inexplicably comfortable.
After Su Mo finished washing up, she opened the door and saw Long Hengxu waiting at the door.
Seeing Long Hengxu squatting at the door with breakfast early in the morning, Su Mo was speechless. "Is he in such a hurry?"
Long Hengxu smiled but didn't say anything. He quickly handed the still-steaming breakfast to Su Mo.
After Su Mo quickly finished her breakfast, Long Hengxu nervously led her to the hotel's underground parking lot, as if they were doing something wrong.
In the underground parking lot, a modified Soul Guide car was already waiting.
Long Hengxu knocked on the passenger window and said softly, "Dean, Su Mo is here!"
Sitting in the driver's seat, Yu Zhen opened the car window and nodded solemnly to Long Hengxu.
Before Su Mo could react, Long Hengxu pushed her into the car.
The system will stabilize after the World Championship is over.
I will definitely make up for the two chapters I owe this week.
Chapter 165 Secret Base
Yu Zhen stepped on the gas and sped out of the underground parking lot with Su Mo in tow, heading straight towards Donghai City.
The scenery outside the car window rushed past, and the morning light was cut into golden streaks by the wind.
Sitting in the back seat, Su Mo watched Yu Zhen, who was silently slamming on the gas pedal in the driver's seat, and couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. She couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me what happened?"
Su Mo was very curious about what had happened that made Yu Zhen, the dean of Donghai Academy, personally come to pick her up and take her back to Donghai City.
Upon hearing Su Mo's question, Yu Zhen's expression instantly stiffened.
If it's any other question, he will answer it without reservation as long as Su Mo asks.
But how could he possibly say such a thing?
Should he tell Su Mo directly that the academy brought you back to Donghai City to hide you for a while because they were worried that you would be snatched away by people from other academies?
Seeing Yu Zhen's conflicted expression shifting back and forth, Su Mo lost interest in probing further. "If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it!"
Seeing this, Yu Zhen gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind to tell the whole story.
"..."
After listening to Yu Zhen's story, Su Mo found it very difficult to remain calm.
Looking in the rearview mirror, Yu Zhen saw that Su Mo hadn't spoken yet and was a little puzzled by Su Mo's attitude. So he whispered tentatively, "Su Mo, if you want to transfer schools, I can still take you back now."
"Remember to call me when we arrive!"
After Su Mo finished speaking, he leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing this, Yu Zhen's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally began to settle down.
The carriage returned to silence, with only the deep rumble of the engine and the sound of the wheels rolling.
Unlike the others who were blinded by excitement, Yu Zhen was not.
As the dean of Donghai Academy, Yu Zhen was well aware of the academy's true capabilities.
The fact that Donghai Academy was able to recruit a genius student like Su Mo was purely due to good luck.
A top genius like Su Mo can shine in any academy.
Therefore, Yu Zhen was well aware that with the teaching staff of Donghai Academy, it was absolutely impossible to retain Su Mo.
The reason they rushed to bring Su Mo back to Donghai Academy was that they hoped Su Mo could stay at Donghai Academy for a while longer.
If Su Mo can stay at Donghai Academy for another year, the quality of students at Donghai Academy next year will see an unprecedented increase.
With such a high-quality student body, Donghai Academy may well surpass Tianhai Academy and firmly establish itself in the Tianhai Alliance.
……
"Su Mo, we've arrived at the academy!"
As the car came to a smooth stop at the entrance with the four large characters "Donghai Academy" written on it, Yu Zhen whispered a reminder.
"Ok!"
Su Mo nodded and got out of the car.
"Then I'll go back first!"
After getting out of the car, Su Mo greeted Yu Zhen and went straight back to her residence.
With Gu Yue and the others not around, I can take this opportunity to begin the Impure World Reincarnation of Hyotei and Yuki-tei.
When Su Mo pushed open the door and entered, Ning Bei was already waiting for her inside.
Where is Nanali?
Upon seeing Ning Bei, Su Mo casually inquired about Nanali's condition.
