Chapter 7 Surveillance from the Holy Spirit Cult
Surveillance from the Holy Spirit Cult
Seeing Tang Wulin's surprised expression, Wang Dong felt a little embarrassed. She tried to remain calm and used subtle wording to express her true feelings:
"What I mean is, since you're in the same dorm as me and working under me, as your boss, I should naturally provide some financial support. You can use my money for some expenses. Of course, you can refuse; that's the right I've given you."
Seeing Wang Dong with his arms crossed and a murderous glare, Tang Wulin thought to himself, "Working for him? Does that mean cleaning?" But then, sensing the hidden meaning in his words, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up, and he excitedly asked, "Could you elaborate on what you mean by 'spending money'?"
As soon as she said it, Wang Dong was very nervous because she had almost lost her aloof image in front of this new acquaintance, which made her feel very embarrassed. Therefore, she wanted to regain her face in this way. Wang Dong knew it was strange, but it was like a spiritual guidance, as if being nice to him would make her very happy.
So she let herself act impulsively, while at the same time keeping a close eye on Tang Wulin's reaction, afraid that he would not agree. Only after seeing the change in Tang Wulin's eyes did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Hearing Tang Wulin's question, Wang Dong hesitated for a moment before saying, "For example, what kind of clothes do you like to buy, cultivation resources, or your favorite foods..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Wulin nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay! I agree! You're such a good person!" Wang Dong was startled, but soon, he was filled with a sense of accomplishment and felt that the humiliation he had just suffered was not unbearable.
"What's your name?" Wang Dong asked confidently, basking in the pleasure of successfully taming the creature, feeling utterly triumphant.
Tang Wulin gave his name in a friendly manner, inwardly sighing, "Thank goodness I was reborn; I didn't encounter a second Xie Xie. See, isn't this much better? Xie Xie was a young master back then, wasn't he? Why was he so stingy? Look at him! Not only is he more handsome than you, but he's also generous, even if he's a pervert."
Tang Wulin recalled his earlier words, "How could you city people be so mean?" He was lost in his memories, as if he had never been fully aware that he would never see those people again.
But just then, a childish roar rang out. "Why are you city people all so mean!" The next moment! Bang! The door next to Tang Wulin's was violently kicked open, and two figures leaped over the corridor railing and fell downwards.
The two men were startled and rushed to the railing. Looking down, they saw two figures wrestling in the sunlight. One was tall and imposing, while the other had delicate features but looked malnourished.
It was obvious who would win without even watching. The tall young man quickly gained the upper hand. He sat up and slammed the other person to the ground like a chicken. The person on the ground had a bright red face, but couldn't break free.
Tang Wulin was startled, because he recognized both of them. The one above was Dai Huabin, whom he had encountered earlier, and the other was none other than Huo Yuhao! These two had been assigned to the same dormitory! And right next to his! Seeing Tang Wulin's surprised expression, Wang Dong asked, "What? You know them?"
Tang Wulin nodded and said, "The one on top is the young master of the White Tiger Duke, and the one below is Huo Yuhao." "Who is Huo Yuhao?" Wang Dong asked in confusion. Tang Wulin then remembered that the name Huo Yuhao didn't mean anything at this time, so he briefly explained his experience of saving Huo Yuhao in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Below, Huo Yuhao's eyes were bloodshot, fixed on Dai Huabin as if he wanted to tear him to pieces. Dai Huabin, feeling the bloody scratches on his face from Huo Yuhao's frantic clawing, snarled, "You little bastard! You dare to lay a hand on your grandfather? If you dare yell again, I'll kill you!"
Ignoring Dai Huabin's warning, Huo Yuhao roared, "Bastard! I'll kill you!" Dai Huabin, already enraged by Huo Yuhao's attack in the bedroom, was still seething with anger, like mosquitoes snagging at his nerves. Seeing Huo Yuhao's defiance, Dai Huabin tightened his grip on Huo Yuhao's neck, gritting his teeth as he said, "Then I'll kill you first!"
Huo Yuhao felt as if a wall of despair was blocking his airway, leaving him no room to maneuver. In despair, he tried to use his mental attack again, but he found his soul power was gradually depleting. His previous attacks had caused Dai Huabin considerable trouble, but this had also escalated the conflict. "Is this how it's going to end? Facing this enemy, am I still as powerless as before?"
In his struggle, Huo Yuhao's vision gradually darkened, and his consciousness began to blur. Suddenly, he saw two figures on the windowsill. He recognized one of them—the one who had saved him in the Star Dou Great Forest. Instinctively, he wanted to call out to his savior again, but no sound came out. Just then, he suddenly saw a golden light flash in Tang Wulin's eyes, and the next moment…
"Ah!" A scream rang out as Dai Huabin leaped off Huo Yuhao, his expression furious as he stared at the blue-silver-golden light array that had pierced his arm. He roared, "Who! Who is it! Show yourself!" By this time, a large crowd had gathered around, some pointing and whispering about the situation. Feeling the pain in his arms and brain, Dai Huabin felt as if all the pointing and whispering were an insult to him.
Downstairs, Dai Huabin was still in a fit of impotent rage, while upstairs, Tang Wulin was not prepared to show himself. It wasn't that he liked to play dumb, but rather that he knew that once he arrived at Shrek Academy, there would definitely be Holy Spirit Cult members disguised as students monitoring him. In front of these people, Tang Wulin had to maintain his persona as the evil Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult. Such a righteous act would make people notice something was amiss.
But in the blink of an eye, Tang Wulin caught sight of a figure. Upon seeing her, he knew that one person was destined to be unable to remain hidden any longer. In the crowd, Nana stood with her arms crossed, watching the events unfold.
As fellow members of the Holy Spirit Cult, Nana was one of the few who was relatively familiar with Tang Wulin. Therefore, she knew Tang Wulin's soul skills. However, Tang Wulin was very clear that although Nana had come to examine him, she could never know his true identity, because Nana's identity had not yet reached the core circle.
Among the younger generation of believers, almost none of them know their true identity. When they are not using the Holy Son's disguise, they usually take off their black cloak and mask and become a pitiful boy who is struggling in the Holy Spirit Church, living in a den of thieves, yet still unable to hide his naivety. This is how such an inference can be drawn.
As a member of the Holy Spirit Cult, Nana could only keep to herself and never dared to express her inner thoughts to anyone. She silently supported Tang Wulin in her heart, hoping that he would not succumb to fate. When she saw Tang Wulin make a move, she couldn't help but cheer for him in her heart and felt genuinely happy for this strong young man who remained true to himself despite being in darkness.
Looking up, she met Tang Wulin's gaze and gave him an encouraging look, which he returned with a smile. He knew Nana would come; the Holy Spirit Cult had sent two students this time, one of whom was Nana, and the other was still lurking in the shadows. However, Tang Wulin knew that this person in the shadows was the one who truly knew his identity.
