Cui Yajie leaned close to Zhu Lu's ear and whispered, "Then tell me, is your relationship with Huo Yuhao a little abnormal?"

Zhu Lu was shocked and quickly said, "Xiao Jie, what are you saying? I... I have a fiancé."

Cui Yajie smiled sweetly, staring at Zhu Lu and said, "Lulu, since you two are fine, then I'm going to make my move. You won't blame me then, will you?"

"Why would I blame you? But you should be careful, Huo Yuhao doesn't seem like a good person."

For some reason, upon hearing Cui Yajie's words, Zhu Lu felt a complex mix of emotions and subconsciously hurled a insult at Huo Yuhao, hoping her best friend would stay away from him.

She then forcefully banished the distracting thoughts from her mind.

She is Dai Huabin's fiancée and has connections with Huo Yuhao, all for Dai Huabin's sake. Her heart belongs to Dai Huabin!

Zhu Lu kept repeating it to herself.

Cui Yajie gently stroked her hair and said nonchalantly, "But I like bad men. They're the kind of people who are interesting."

Zhu Lu fell silent.

After a long while, the medical teacher's voice came, "Your classmate's condition has stabilized. You can take him away now."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lu went into the infirmary inside and approached the bed where Dai Huabin was lying, intending to help him up.

"Get out!" Dai Huabin coldly spat out a single word.

Zhu Lu was stunned. After a moment of silence, she lowered her head and said, "I didn't know that he and I had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"Get out of here! You're not worthy of being my fiancée!" Dai Huabin said coldly.

Zhu Lu's tears welled up in her heterochromatic eyes.

At this moment, Cui Yajie also entered the room. With a cold face, she grabbed Zhu Lu's hand and walked out: "Lulu, let's go. We should just leave him in the assessment area and not care whether he lives or dies."

Zhu Lu was pulled a couple of steps, then broke free from Cui Yajie, her eyes showing apology.

Then she went to Dai Huabin's side and silently tried to help him up.

Ultimately, she did something that wronged Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He channeled his soul power and struck Zhu Lu with a palm. Zhu Lu was knocked back a few steps and was caught by Cui Yajie.

Cui Yajie looked over and saw that Zhu Lu's face was pale, blood was spilling from the corner of her mouth, and tears were streaming down her face.

Cui Yajie's eyebrows shot up immediately. "Dai Huabin, are you even a man? You can't beat Huo Yuhao, so you take it out on Lulu? What a coward!"

"You!" Dai Huabin was furious. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Cui Yajie pick up Zhu Lu and walk out of the room, leaving only the girl's disappointed voice.

"Lulu, I don't know what you like about this kind of man? Come with me. If you don't want to, don't blame me for forcing you!"

“Listen to me, I think Huo Yuhao is also good. You also have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and he is stronger. He is many times stronger than Dai Huabin. I don’t think your family would object.”

Dai Huabin was suddenly doused with cold water by the last words and calmed down completely.

He shouldn't blame Zhu Lu, but more importantly, he can't lose Zhu Lu's support.

Since the White Tiger lineage lost the throne of the Star Luo Empire, its status has become not much different from that of the Zhu family.

However, the custom of marriage alliances between the two families was still preserved. However, in addition to the marriage alliance with the Zhu family, the Dai family had another option: to marry into the royal Xu family.

His elder brother, Dai Yueheng, had no marriage agreement with the Zhu family, nor with the royal family. His marriage agreement with Zhu Lu was one of his advantages, and he could not give it up.

Once he gains control of the Duke's mansion, he'll have plenty of ways to deal with Huo Yuhao if he wants.

After thinking it through, Dai Huabin still couldn't bring himself to apologize to Zhu Lu immediately, so he decided to send her a gift as an apology the next day.

Chapter 207 Cai Meier: Xiao Tao, let's give him a good welcome.

207.

The midday sun was shining brightly, and the azure Poseidon Lake shimmered with iridescent light.

Zhu Lu sat alone by the Sea God Lake, her knees drawn up to her chest. The dense shadows of the trees completely concealed her exquisite figure, casting a shadow over her beautiful and flawless face.

Her face was pale and her expression was serene. Her heterochromatic eyes revealed sorrow and resentment as she gazed silently at her reflection in the lake. The ripples obscured her true expression.

But I imagine he must be feeling very resentful and sad.

She asked herself honestly, everything she did was for Dai Huabin, but all she got in return was a merciless slap from him. It would be a lie to say she wasn't resentful.

Zhu Lu bit her red lips, staring blankly at her blurry reflection in the water.

After a long silence, she made her decision: tonight, she would go find Huo Yuhao.

On the other side of Poseidon Lake, in a secluded place, there is only a small house hidden by the lush vegetation around it.

This place is very quiet. Compared with other places on Poseidon Island, you will find that it exudes a more vibrant vitality, like spring rain, nourishing all life here.

Two figures stood silently in front of the hut, their faces calm, waiting for someone.

One of them was Cai Meier, who stood there gracefully, her figure curvaceous and voluptuous, exuding a gentle and charming aura.

The other figure was Yan Shaozhe, who was still dressed as an ordinary white-haired old man, dressed in white, with a peaceful demeanor.

He looked at his wife, Cai Meier, not far away. For some reason, he felt that Cai Meier had become even younger and more beautiful recently, as if she had been nourished by the breath of life. Her fair skin had become more radiant, and her jade-like face was filled with dazzling brilliance.

It must be because his cultivation level has broken through.

Yan Shaozhe sighed inwardly.

As the most talented of the four deans, he has been stuck at level 95 and unable to make any progress. Unexpectedly, his wife and Xianlin'er have both surpassed him first.

He felt both depressed and ashamed.

Suddenly, the hut emitted a scorching flame, and many of the trees around it were burned, but the wooden hut seemed completely unaffected by the flames, only becoming brighter.

Yan Shaozhe frowned upon seeing this scene.

It should be noted that this was his own secluded retreat, and this wooden hut was naturally no ordinary structure. It was not made of ordinary wood; it was made from the Nine Phoenix Wutong tree, which grew in volcanic lava and could not be changed color without extreme fire.

Could it be that Xiao Tao's martial soul has evolved?

After a while, the firelight gradually subsided, and the scorching heat subsided. A stunningly beautiful red-haired girl emerged from the hut. She stretched leisurely, a smile playing on her red lips, her captivating phoenix eyes shimmering with alluring charm.

Ma Xiaotao muttered to herself, "He's been in seclusion for so long, I wonder how many girls this brat has gotten involved with? No way, I have to squeeze him dry today!"

"But with his fighting ability, it's a bit tough for me to fight alone. I'd better call Nan Nan along, as a reward for my brat."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe immediately began to cough violently.

Ma Xiaotao was startled. She looked up and saw her teacher and his wife staring at her with strange expressions.

what?

Ah!

Ma Xiaotao screamed inwardly, "What are my teacher and his wife doing here?!"

At that moment, she wished she could shrink back into her mother's womb.

Her snow-white skin flushed crimson. She stopped in her tracks, her body stiffening for a moment, before turning and walking back towards the small house.

"I think I've gained some new insights. I'll continue my seclusion, continue my seclusion."

Cai Meier's eyebrows curved into a smile, her red lips curving into a gentle laugh. She rushed from behind to Ma Xiaotao's side, took her arm, and whispered:

"You've grown up now, it's normal for you to have your own life, as long as it doesn't interfere with your cultivation."

Ma Xiaotao stopped in her tracks, her face flushed as she glanced at her teacher's wife, who seemed like a mother to her, then nestled in her arms and half-closed her eyes to look at her teacher again.

Yan Shaozhe's face was dark, his expression full of resentment.

That brat Huo Yuhao is really lucky with women; he's enjoying the best of both worlds. And Mei'er doesn't even scold him.

She wasn't like this to me back then!

However, out of consideration for his disciple, he refrained from saying certain things; these were things that Cai Meier should have brought up.

Yan Shaozhe got down to business, asking in a deep voice, "Xiao Tao, has your martial soul evolved into the Ultimate Flame?"

Out of shyness, Ma Xiaotao remained nestled in Cai Meier's arms, but her voice carried a joyful tone, "Yes, teacher, my martial spirit has evolved, and now it is a true fire phoenix. My evil fire has also been dispelled, and I will no longer be troubled by it."

Yan Shaozhe smiled and laughed loudly, "Good, good! I can finally rest assured about your future, Xiao Tao."

Ma Xiaotao didn't forget to take credit for Huo Yuhao, raising her head and saying in a bright tone:

"All of this is thanks to Yuhao. He helped me find the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, allowing my martial soul to evolve like my ancestor. Teacher, you must not target him anymore. I know you have a conflict with him, but Xiaotao has already decided on him. I hope you can spare him for my sake."

Yan Shaozhe's smile froze, and the smile in his eyes faded somewhat.

Why did the joy of seeing my disciple's martial spirit evolve suddenly fade?

Alas, the little cotton-padded jacket has now been completely worn by someone else.

Cai Meier glanced at Yan Shaozhe and snorted, "Xiao Tao, let's not worry about your teacher. He's just prejudiced against others and he won't change his mind anytime soon."

"Now that your little boyfriend has helped you evolve your martial soul, let's treat him to a good meal another day. It's my way of thanking my son-in-law as his wife."

As she spoke, Cai Meier's heart skipped a beat. In the scene in her mind where she was hugging Xian Lin'er, the woman's appearance automatically replaced that of Ma Xiaotao.

Cai Meier suddenly felt a bit hot and subtly pushed Ma Xiaotao out of her arms.

Ma Xiaotao didn't notice anything amiss. Her clear, phoenix-shaped eyes were filled with happiness as she pursed her red lips and said, "Great! Yuhao also wanted to pay his respects to you. He mentioned it to me a few days ago."

Cai Meier's smile remained unchanged, but she was inwardly embarrassed and annoyed.
