Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

"As expected, I tricked you into revealing your secret," Cui Yajie said smugly.

“Last semester I noticed that you were acting strangely around Huo Yuhao. If you weren’t still Dai Huabin’s fiancée at the time, I would have thought that Huo Yuhao had done something weird to you. Now it seems that you have fallen for him.”

"I, I didn't, I was, I was—" Zhu Lu's face turned bright red. She couldn't possibly tell her best friend that she had been given a toy back then.

Cui Yajie took Zhu Lu's arm and asked curiously, "Now that you're not engaged, tell me, Lulu, how far have things progressed between you and her?"

Zhu Lu lowered her head, looking shy and remaining silent.

"You guys wouldn't—" Cui Yajie looked at her best friend's appearance and a guess arose in her mind.

"Lulu, you're really giving away freebies!"

Chapter 404 Preparing to Hold the White Tiger Duke's Mansion Accountable

Zhu Lu panicked, "Didn't you tell me before that you had feelings for him and wanted to win him over?"

Cui Yajie shook her head. "He's too outstanding. I'm not good enough for him. Besides, all the girls in the class are eyeing him like wolves. How could I possibly have a chance? Are you going to whisper sweet nothings in my ear, Lulu?"

"We didn't," Zhu Lu denied, though her tone lacked a little confidence.

Just then, an old man appeared in front of them; it was none other than Old Zhang, who was responsible for protecting Dai Huabin.

He looked at Zhu Lu with a cold gaze, "No wonder the young master acted so unwisely today, it turns out it's because of you, Miss Zhu Lu."

"Old Zhang?" Zhu Lu stopped in her tracks, a look of panic flashing in her eyes.

She recognized Old Zhang, and hearing his words and the coldness in his eyes, she knew that Old Zhang had come with ill intentions.

"Did Elder Zhang want to see me about something?" She was secretly on guard, then turned to Cui Yajie and said softly, "Yajie, I have something to do. You should go to the treasure appreciation event first."

Cui Yajie glanced at Old Zhang, becoming equally wary. "Alright, Lulu, you must come find me. I'll be waiting for you at the Treasure Appreciation Club."

"None of you are leaving," Old Zhang said coldly.

Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie also gave up their hopes.

Old Master Zhang said coldly, "Miss Zhu Lu, you clearly had feelings for the young master before, so why did you end up having an affair with someone else?"

"Even if your engagement is dissolved, you and the young master have a martial soul fusion skill, so you will still have a place by his side in the future. Why would you be so unwise?"

Zhu Lu slowly shook her head, her voice cold as she said, "Dai Huabin sent you, didn't he? Isn't he afraid of being discovered by the academy? Attacking academy disciples in Shrek City is a serious crime."

Old Zhang said calmly, "I'll deal with you personally, and no one will find out. Miss Zhu Lu, and this classmate of yours, come with me."

Zhu Lu looked at Cui Yajie apologetically and said, "Yajie, I've dragged you into this. Elder Zhang is a Soul Saint; we have no chance."

After saying that, she turned to look at Elder Zhang, and her martial spirit instantly possessed her. Her already fiery body was stretched even longer, making her look even more captivating.

Blades sprouted from his fingers, and he activated his soul skill, attacking Elder Zhang in the blink of an eye.

"Ya Jie, run! I can't hold out much longer!"

Cui Yajie looked at Zhu Lu, her eyes shining. She took out a signal device, fired it into the sky, and then activated her martial spirit. Instead of running away, she rushed towards Elder Zhang.

"It's no use." Old Zhang shook his head slightly, glanced at the distress signal in the air, and sent two streams of soul power towards the two men. After just two strikes, the two men coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

He looked down at the two men lying on the ground and sighed, "Why bother? Not resisting would have saved you from suffering. Come with me, I'll leave you to the young master."

Despair was evident in Zhu Lu's and Cui Yajie's eyes.

The gap between them and the Soul Saints is ultimately too great.

"Old Deng, did you ask me before you took the man who wanted to take me away?"

Huo Yuhao teleported to the two women and helped them up from the left and right.

The reason he arrived so late was not to rescue someone or play the hero, but because a very powerful person had suddenly controlled him for several minutes, and he had only just broken free.

"Huo Yuhao!" Cui Yajie and Zhu Lu's eyes shone with surprise and joy. This joy of escaping from a desperate situation is most easily transformed into liking for someone.

Huo Yuhao smiled and took out two healing pills, putting them into the mouths of the two men. "These are specially made healing pills. Your injuries will be healed tonight."

"Hmm." Zhu Lu looked at him with sparkling eyes and reminded him, "Yuhao, Elder Zhang is a Soul Saint, you have to be careful."

"Don't worry." He turned to look at the old man, who was also sizing him up.

"So you're the one who offended the young master? Today, I'll take you down with me."

Huo Yuhao looked at the old man with a half-smile, his golden-pink eyes gleaming. A bright golden ray shot towards the old man, who instantly collapsed to the ground.

How can he be so strong?!

Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie stared at Huo Yuhao with their mouths slightly agape in shock.

They actually witnessed a peer of their age instantly defeat a Soul Saint.

Huo Yuhao turned around and said with a smile, "He's too weak. He's the weakest Soul Saint I've ever fought."

Before long, people from Shrek Academy arrived quickly. The person who came was none other than Dean Cai Meier.

Huo Yuhao explained the whole story clearly, and with witnesses and physical evidence, everything could be proven that Dai Huabin was the one who did it.

Cai Meier's charming face couldn't help but take on a hint of murderous intent. "How dare you attack students on the academy's territory! The White Tiger Duke's Mansion really doesn't take us seriously. It seems that the academy has been too peaceful for too long, and some people don't even know why the flowers are so red anymore."

She turned to look at the Shrek students who had gathered around her and said coldly, "You, go and seize Dai Huabin and take him to the academy."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "No need to trouble you seniors. I know where Dai Huabin is."

He brought Cai Meier to the place where Dai Huabin was unconscious. When Cai Meier saw Dai Huabin's condition, she couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao strangely.

"Xiao Yuhao, your revenge came really fast, you crippled him already?"

Huo Yuhao slapped her pert buttocks, eliciting a delicate gasp.

"I didn't do it. Besides, I'm neither small nor fast!"

Cai Meier's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and a cold smile appeared on her face. "It seems that someone is taking advantage of the situation."

"Give her to me, and you go to the treasure appreciation event."

"it is good."

Huo Yuhao agreed and handed the person over to Cai Meier, feeling at ease.

He then arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, where eight beautiful young women stood at the entrance. Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, one of them stepped forward, bowed, and respectfully asked, "Does this gentleman have an invitation?"

Huo Yuhao handed over the invitation and couldn't help but exclaim, "How white! The lights in this Treasure Pavilion are really white. To use this to lure students is truly despicable."

As he entered Jubaoge, he was greeted by young women in short gold skirts that revealed their ample bosom. He simply strolled along with admiring glances and soon found Wang Dong and the others.

When Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao saw him, they came closer and asked in a low voice, "Are you done dealing with it?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Let's talk about it later. Let's see what's at the treasure appreciation event first."

The three had walked through the corridor lined with beautiful women while they were talking. The girl in the white dress led them up the golden stairs to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

The second floor was much quieter than the first. While it appeared somewhat scattered, all the booths were arranged in the most logical and prominent positions. Each booth was enclosed by a huge crystal glass dome. Different items were displayed on the stands inside.

The girl in the white dress stopped in her tracks. "Welcome, three distinguished guests, to the Treasure Pavilion's Treasure Appreciation Event. The event is being held on the second floor, and you are welcome to browse freely. If you find any items you like, please register to purchase them on the west side. If you wish to pay on credit, you can also have them appraised there. The appraisal result will determine the discount you will receive and the amount you can pay on credit."

The three of them went to get an assessment as instructed, leaving the assessor speechless.

Huo Yuhao can choose any two items from the treasure viewing event to take home, while Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao can choose any one item.

This amount is much larger than in the original novel.

It's clear that Shrek Academy is now sparing no effort in trying to win them over.

I wonder what amazing things they've prepared for the treasure hunt.
