Chapter 159: Different Attitudes
Lin Qinghan didn't even know where the laboratory he was currently in was, so he could only follow Huo Yutong and let her lead him.
However, the laboratory and the dormitory were not very far apart. After walking for more than ten minutes, the two arrived at the laboratory.
Huo Yutong walked to a metal door, took out a special metal card, swiped it on the access control, and took Lin Qinghan inside.
Because Huo Yutong was always the first to arrive, there were only Lin Qinghan and Huo Yutong in the laboratory for now.
"Brother Qinghan, your seat is over here. Although you haven't been here, the seat has always been reserved for you."
Huo Yutong took Lin Qinghan into the inner room and pointed to an empty soul guide assembly table.
Lin Qinghan nodded, and just as he was about to sit down at his seat, he heard the sound of the laboratory door opening again.
Then came the sound of footsteps, and soon two beautiful girls with different characteristics walked in.
One girl was petite—she should be Ke Ke, who didn't have many roles in the original work.
The brown-haired girl who looked about 17 or 18 years old should be Ju Zi.
Lin Qinghan still had a deep impression of Ju Zi. She was the most resourceful character in the original novel. Later, she not only controlled the entire Sun Moon Empire but also almost destroyed the three kingdoms that originally belonged to Douluo Continent.
Although the record of destroying the three kingdoms was mainly due to the overwhelming soul guide technology of the Sun Moon Empire—and she was even a senior love-brain—Douluo Continent itself was full of love-brains. It was already very impressive that Ju Zi, whose talent could only be described as an average genius, had achieved such a record.
"Hey, Xiao Yutong, you're the first one to arrive today. Is this handsome guy the Lin Qinghan you mentioned? He's just as you said."
Ke Ke saw Lin Qinghan standing next to Huo Yutong at a glance. It was the first time she'd seen such a handsome guy. Suddenly, her love-crazy instincts kicked in a little, and she walked up to Huo Yutong with sparkling eyes.
"Brother Qinghan, this is Ke Ke. We're classmates under the same teacher."
Huo Yutong was quick-witted and saw Ke Ke trying to grab Lin Qinghan's arm, so she grabbed Ke Ke first.
"Xiao Yutong, you're so stingy. You have such a handsome boyfriend but you've been hiding him, and now you won't even let me touch him."
Ke Ke seemed to have a good relationship with Huo Yutong and was clearly joking around. She wasn't the least bit annoyed when Huo Yutong grabbed her. Instead, she hugged Huo Yutong's arm and asked about Lin Qinghan with a gossipy look.
Lin Qinghan had a great reputation in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. After all, he had defeated Ji Juechen, the battle maniac, early on. His strength, appearance, and achievements in the last competition were all made public.
He now sat at the top of the male god list of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. If Xiao Hongchen came back and saw this scene, based on his personality, he would probably get angry with Lin Qinghan.
However, Lin Qinghan was somewhat surprised by how Huo Yutong got along with these characters.
He remembered that everyone in the laboratory in the courtyard was supposed to give the protagonist a warning.
After all, Lin Qinghan and Huo Yutong were treated very well. Although it matched their status, it seemed unfair to the academy's original students.
They didn't even have to pay tuition, and they received a lot of bonuses and subsidies. Anyone would feel a little resentful.
Could it be that, now that Huo Yutong is a cute little girl, these people no longer have objections?
But Lin Qinghan was just thinking about it. With Huo Yutong's current soul power level—over 50—she certainly wouldn't tolerate being bullied.
"Ke Ke, be quiet. If you want to know more about Brother Qinghan, I can tell you later."
Huo Yutong wasn't very interested in gossip and couldn't stand Ke Ke pestering her for information about Lin Qinghan. She restrained Ke Ke and turned to look at Ju Zi behind her.
"Ju Zi, good morning."
"Mm, Xiao Yutong, good morning. So today you finally brought that mysterious student with a big reputation."
Ju Zi smiled at Huo Yutong. She had a good impression of this younger student who came to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy as an exchange student. She was now also curious about Lin Qinghan, Huo Yutong's so-called boyfriend.
After spending time with her, Ju Zi could tell that Huo Yutong was incredibly talented with soul guides—probably the most talented person she had ever met.
Huo Yutong was officially a level 5 soul guide engineer, but Ju Zi was observant. In their daily interactions, she had seen Huo Yutong make a level 6 soul guide.
And Huo Yutong seemed to have never failed at carving the core array of a level 6 soul guide. Clearly, she already possessed the full strength of a level 6 soul guide engineer.
But according to Huo Yutong, Lin Qinghan's talent far surpassed hers. Combined with the academy-wide rumors, Ju Zi was understandably curious about Lin Qinghan.
After all, she was still young—not yet the future empress, queen, or God of War—so it was normal for her to be interested in a handsome and talented guy like Lin Qinghan.
"Hello, my name is Ju Zi. I'm a level 5 soul guide engineer. I heard from Xiao Yutong that we're around the same age, so just call me Senior Sister."
Ju Zi walked up to Lin Qinghan and introduced herself. It was clear she wanted to get to know him.
"Hello, Senior Sister Ju Zi, I'm Lin Qinghan."
Lin Qinghan glanced at Ju Zi's face. Indeed, her skin was very good. The original novel often described how delicate Ju Zi's skin was. Seeing her now, she really was the best among all the people Lin Qinghan had seen—except for Gu Yuena.
The news of the White Tiger Duke's death had been concealed by the Xingluo Empire. Although there were rumors in Xingluo City, the news hadn't yet reached Mingdu.
By the way, Lin Qinghan realized he might've unknowingly stolen Ju Zi's revenge. Her lifelong goal had been to destroy the White Tiger Duke's mansion and kill Duke Dai Hao.
He couldn't help but wonder what Ju Zi's reaction would be once she learned the White Tiger Duke had died. Would she ambush Xu Tianran or stab him in the back?
"Okay, Teacher Xuan said we'd be having a midterm test today. Are you all ready?"
Huo Yutong handed Lin Qinghan an ordinary soul guide carving knife, then pulled him back to their laboratory table.
Lin Qinghan and Huo Yutong's test tables were connected. It seemed like Huo Yutong had arranged it that way on purpose.
