Chapter 13 The Nobleman
Zhang Lu?
Huo Yuhao followed Ba Wan's gaze and indeed saw a familiar figure. It turned out that Dr. Zhang's name was Zhang Lu!
Ba Wan was somewhat puzzled and disheartened; he hadn't expected that this kid would have a relationship with Zhang Lu.
"Oh dear! The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple! Little friend, you should have said you knew Lord Zhang Lu earlier."
With a subtle movement, Ba Wan pushed Fang back into Huo Yuhao's arms, touched the back of his head, and felt the scar on his face throb again. He chuckled and led the Blood Wolf Hunting Group away from the area.
On the way, a new member of the Blood Wolf Hunting Group asked curiously, "Boss, isn't that Dr. Zhang? I recognize her. I heard from the townspeople that she's a healing-type Soul King, but even if she is a Soul King and her cultivation is higher than yours, she's still no match for you!"
Upon hearing this, Ba Wan slapped the underling on the head and said irritably, "I'll let it slide since you've only been in Soul Hunter Town for a short time. Old Ya, give him a lesson on Soul Hunter Town so he doesn't implicate the hunting party later."
"yes."
An older member put his arm around the younger member's shoulder and said as they walked, "You've only been in Soul Hunter Town for a short time, so it's normal that you don't know some of the rules here. Let me explain them to you slowly."
"There are three people in Soul Hunter Town that you shouldn't mess with. The first is the town mayor, who is a Soul Emperor! If you mess with him, no one can save you. The second is Dr. Zhang in this alchemy shop. Don't underestimate her just because she is a healing-type Soul Master and think that she has no strength."
"Dr. Zhang is different from us commoner soul masters who roll around in the mud to make a living. She is a soul master trained by a big family. She has several powerful soul tools for self-defense. Even if you sold yourself, it wouldn't be enough to buy one of Dr. Zhang's soul tools!"
"Got it? You better not cause any trouble for the Blood Wolf Hunting Group, or you'll be punished according to the group rules!"
The younger brother finally understood why Boss Ba Wan dared not offend Dr. Zhang—that was it! However, he still had one question.
"Uncle Ya, you still haven't told me about the third person you shouldn't mess with in Soul Hunter Town."
Hearing his younger brother's words, the Blood Wolf Hunters around him laughed happily. This newcomer seemed to be a little slow on the uptake!
Old Tooth slapped his underling on the head in an annoyed tone, "Are you out of your mind! The third person you absolutely can't mess with is of course our Blood Wolf Hunting Group's leader, Boss Ba Wan!"
At the same time, Huo Yuhao was thanking Zhang Lu for helping him out of the predicament.
"Dr. Zhang, thank you so much!"
Zhang Lu waved her hand dismissively, "It was just a small thing. Little Huo, do you know why I was willing to help you? You know, there are so many unfair things in this Soul Hunter Town."
Looking at the inexplicable expression on Zhang Lu's face, Huo Yuhao really didn't understand why Zhang Lu had come to his rescue.
He was penniless, and his innate soul power was only at level one, which, in the eyes of outsiders, showed no potential worth cultivating. What did Dr. Zhang want from him?
Huo Yuhao shook his head and answered honestly, "I really don't know."
"Because of your efforts, I saw my former self."
Zhang Lu sighed, walked to Huo Yuhao, squatted down in front of him, looked at him at eye level, and said seriously:
"I've been keeping an eye on you during the six months you've been in Soul Hunter Town. When we first met, the determination you showed piqued my curiosity. I wondered how much effort you would put into this goal and how long you could persevere?"
"Training so hard in the wilderness must have been tough and exhausting. Didn't you ever think about giving up?"
Huo Yuhao fell silent, not expecting that Zhang Lu had been watching what he had done all along.
Are you tired?
Huo Yuhao asked himself, "I'm really tired, so tired that I just want to sleep after dinner every day when I get home."
Is it bitter?
It was truly agonizing. The physical torment I endured felt even worse than being oppressed in the Duke's mansion. Every morning was torture.
Huo Yuhao gave his answer, saying to himself, "If I give up, what will happen to my mother? At least there's still a way forward, which is the greatest fortune."
Zhang Lu showed a satisfied expression, reached out and placed her hand on Huo Yuhao's head, and a beam of pure white light covered Huo Yuhao's entire body from top to bottom.
A gentle force entered Huo Yuhao's body, and Huo Yuhao felt that the hidden injuries in his body caused by long-term overtraining had been healed, and the pressure in his muscles and bones was completely released.
So refreshing!
Huo Yuhao clenched his fists and gripped the ground with his toes, trying his best not to make any strange noises.
After a dozen seconds, Zhang Lu removed her hand and stood up.
"That's really strange. Logically speaking, with that level of training, your body should have been on the verge of collapse long ago. I checked you over and found that you're actually quite sturdy, with just a few minor injuries. These hidden dangers will dissipate on their own over time."
"Ta-da!"
A mountain breeze suddenly appeared, hands on hips, chest puffed out, and boasted, "That's all thanks to my delicious food, meow~ With the healing power of food, Yuhao's body won't have any problems, meow~"
Zhang Lu rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.
Food? It's amazing that it can have the same effect as medicine! But what's even more amazing is that this talking cat is also a martial spirit. I'm really looking forward to seeing what it will be like when it grows up.
"Little kitty, could you teach me how to make those delicious foods that can heal the body? In return, I can teach you how to make medicine."
Shanfeng held up a finger and shook it, "I'm not called Kitty, I'm called Shanfeng Meow!"
"Secondly, I'm also very happy to learn new knowledge, no problem at all!"
Zhang Lu nodded, bent down and clapped her hands with Shan Feng, "It's settled then. After you finish your training this evening, come straight to my alchemy shop. Xiao Huo, you don't need to worry about the Blood Wolf Hunting Group causing you trouble anymore. With me protecting you, no one in Hunter Soul Town will dare to cause you any trouble."
"Thank you for taking care of me, Dr. Zhang!"
Having a powerful figure to look after him is a huge help to Huo Yuhao right now. Huo Yuhao is being careful in every way in Hunter Soul Town because he is worried about getting into trouble he shouldn't be in, but in the end, he still attracted the big trouble of the Blood Wolf Hunting Group to his door.
Zhang Lu turned around and walked towards her alchemy room. At the same time, her clear and cold voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's ears again, "Little Huo, I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll become in the future. Keep going firmly."
While cleaning Huo Yuhao's hidden injuries, Zhang Lu also discovered that Huo Yuhao's soul power level was only level three.
With only level three soul power, how far can he go on this path?
As soon as Zhang Lu left, Huo Yun'er appeared at the door and asked Huo Yuhao, who looked dazed, "What happened?"
"Mom, we met some good people."
Huo Yuhao recounted what had just happened to his mother.
Huo Yun'er sighed, "This isn't just meeting a good person, it's meeting a benefactor. Yuhao, you must remember this kindness. As long as you have the ability, you must repay Dr. Zhang. Mom won't force you to become too strong, I only hope you will be a kind and righteous person."
"Hmm~"
"So touching, meow~"
The mountain breeze rubbed its eyes with its fluffy paws; the wind was really strong tonight, meow~
