Just then, there was a knock on the dormitory door.
Wang Dong quickly reverted to his male appearance. As his appearance changed, Wang Dong lowered his gaze and was startled, unable to help but exclaim in surprise, his cheeks turning as red as blood.
She hadn't been wearing it just now; it was men's clothing she didn't need to wear, so she'd forgotten in her distracted state. Huo Yuhao…
Recalling the boy's roundabout reminder, Wang Dong bit her lip, suppressing her shyness, and changed back into her male attire.
Huo Yuhao opened the door, and Xiao Xiao's pretty face peeked in.
Her lively and bright eyes scanned Huo Yuhao and Huo Yuhao's dormitory from top to bottom and left to right before she pushed open the door and jumped in.
Xiao Xiao glanced at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong with a puzzled look, and muttered, "Strange, I clearly heard a girl scream from your dormitory just now, how come there are only the two of you here?"

Chapter 50 Xiao Xiao, the Bystander
"It might be coming from another dormitory room?" Huo Yuhao speculated.
Aside from noticing that Wang Dong's cheeks were unusually rosy, Xiao Xiao couldn't find anything else amiss. She could only keep her doubts to herself and nodded with a mixture of belief and disbelief.
"Let's go out to eat together. I can introduce you to two senior female students," Huo Yuhao said, changing the subject for Wang Dong, who was still feeling shy.
"Mmm-hmm!" Xiao Xiao nodded quickly, the temptation of the delicious food making her put aside her doubts.
Adding to the fact that Wang Dong seemed a little shy today, he possessed a unique kind of charm. Xiao Xiao couldn't help but glance at Wang Dong a few more times, secretly thinking to herself, "No wonder he's the handsome guy I used to like."
As soon as the three of them arrived at the dormitory building, Huo Yuhao saw Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan rushing over.
"Sister Nan, Sister Xiaoya, what happened? I was just about to come find you," Huo Yuhao asked.
"Yuhao, come with me, the academic affairs office is looking for us," Tang Ya said hurriedly.
"What happened?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion. He had already been to the Academic Affairs Office this afternoon, but he didn't expect to have to come back for a second time today.
"It's about the conflict we had with Xu Sanshi last time. Xiaoya and I reported Xu Sanshi for maliciously attacking you. Because you're a freshman, according to school regulations, Xu Sanshi should be expelled. Today, Xu Sanshi has recovered from his serious injuries, so the Academic Affairs Office is handling this matter today." Xu Nannan explained the whole story to Huo Yuhao and the others in a low voice.
Tang Ya added from the side, "Xiao Yuhao, although Xu Sanshi should be expelled according to the rules, the academy will definitely not expel a student like him who is guaranteed to enter the inner academy. There is a high probability that the academy will make Xu Sanshi give you some compensation. You must not insist on the academy expelling Xu Sanshi, otherwise the academy may not even give you compensation."
Huo Yuhao nodded to indicate that he understood. He was completely unfazed that Shrek Academy wouldn't expel Xu Sanshi. Shrek Academy's rules had always been that they could break them themselves, but others couldn't.
Wang Dong was somewhat indignant. "Since the college stipulates that assaulting a freshman will result in expulsion, then the college should abide by this rule itself. Otherwise, what's the point of having this rule?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and reassured Wang Dong, "It's alright. Compensation is a good thing for us. It's not good that the academy expelled Xu Sanshi. After all, he is the young sect master of the Xuanming Sect."
"Moreover, considering that Xu Sanshi suffered such a heavy loss at our hands, and now we can still get compensation from him, you could say he's a completely philanthropic person, right? I actually quite hope he'll do something for me a couple more times."
Tang Ya said in a smug, coquettish voice, "That's right, Yuhao is right. We beat up Xu Sanshi and he still wants to compensate us. This is all thanks to me! I was the first to think of reporting it to the academy!"
Xiao Xiao overheard their conversation and roughly pieced together what had happened. She blinked her big, bright green eyes and asked, "Class monitor, were you attacked by that senior named Xu Sanshi?" She knew Xu Sanshi; he was one of the two outstanding students of Shrek Academy's outer court, along with Pili Beibei. Why would he attack the class monitor?
Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Tang Ya interrupted, "Yes, yes, that Xu Sanshi actually dared to attack Xiao Yuhao just because he was jealous. In the end, Nan Nan stood up for her husband and beat Xu Sanshi seriously. He deserved it!"
Tang Ya nudged Jiang Nannan beside her, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Nan Nan, say something! Didn't you see that this girl might have a crush on Yu Hao? You need to assert your dominance, don't act all magnanimous!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao glanced at the senior student who was quietly following Huo Yuhao, then looked at Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao who had no reaction. Her eyes flickered with some doubt.
If the class monitor has someone he likes, then what about Wang Dong? Could it be that she misunderstood, and there's really nothing more than friendship between Wang Dong and the class monitor?
And isn't this senior Jiang Nannan, the most beautiful girl in the School of Foreign Languages? I didn't expect her to be won over by the class monitor. No wonder she's the class monitor!
And this senior Tang Ya seems to treat the class monitor a little differently. She's also apparently Bei Bei's girlfriend. Wow, the class monitor is terrifying. Are you a succubus, class monitor?
Xiao Xiao was internally gossiping, unable to decide which gossip was bigger or better.
Upon arriving at the Academic Affairs Office, Huo Yuhao once again saw the kind-hearted Du Weiren and Xu Sanshi, who was about to become a philanthropist, as well as Bei Bei.
Du Weiren maintained a stern expression, while Xu Sanshi was initially delighted upon seeing Jiang Nannan, but his face darkened upon seeing her gently following Huo Yuhao.
Bei Bei greeted Huo Yuhao and the others gently: "Xiao Ya, Yuhao, you're here."
Tang Ya's expression turned cold. "Why did you, such a busy person, suddenly remember to come find me?"
Beibei smiled wryly, "I just heard that Xu Sanshi was bullying little brother Yuhao, so I came to see what was going on. I can't let little brother Yuhao be bullied either."
Tang Ya felt wronged. Bei Bei had been avoiding her these past few days by making excuses about being busy. When she suddenly ran into her today, she thought Bei Bei had finally realized her mistake. But it turned out that Bei Bei was there to stand up for Yu Hao. Am I not even as good as Yu Hao now?
Tang Ya's eyebrows furrowed, her face frosty, and she said coldly, "Beibei, get out of the way. Xiao Yuhao doesn't need your help. Nannan and I can handle it!"
Helpless, Beibei walked to the side. Seeing this, Xu Sanshi mocked her maliciously, "Beibei, this won't do. It seems your Xiaoya has fallen out with you because of this junior? Besides, it seems like he doesn't care about your meddling!"
Bei Bei said coldly, "Xu Sanshi, shut up."
Xu Sanshi chuckled, then turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao, saying with a forced smile, "Kid, let me be frank with you, the academy will never expel me. You leave Nannan, and I'll give you a few thousand gold soul coins as a token compensation, and then we'll call it even!"
Huo Yuhao's gaze turned cold. Xu Sanshi was clearly making it clear that he had connections in the academy. And Du Weilun, who had been summoned to deal with Xu Sanshi's matter, arrived acting as if it were none of his business, letting Xu Sanshi run wild. Had he taken bribes and completely sided with Xu Sanshi?
Since that's the case, don't blame me for resorting to underhanded tactics.
Huo Yuhao ignored Xu Sanshi and instead muttered to himself, "Speaking of which, the old man sunbathing at the entrance of the freshman dormitory asked me to help him walk around a bit. I might tell him about it as a joke when I have the chance."
Everyone else was confused by Huo Yuhao's words, except for Du Weilun and Bei Bei, who knew what was going on.
That old man was none other than Mu En, the current head of the Sea God Pavilion!
Du Weiren immediately felt the chair beneath him was scorching hot. Beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead and dripped down his cheeks.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 51 Xu Sanshi: Huo Yuhao, don't be too greedy.
Du Weilun slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and roared, "Xu Sanshi, are you out of control? Do you even respect the academy? Let me tell you, this is Shrek Academy, not your Xuanming Sect. If you can't give Huo Yuhao a satisfactory compensation, today will be your last day at the academy!"
Xu Sanshi was stunned. This is different from what we just said, Director Du. You clearly said that the college would never expel me. Why have you suddenly changed your mind?
Xu Sanshi's expression changed several times, but he finally managed to force a smile and said, "Junior Brother Yuhao, what I said just now was just a joke. Look, I'll compensate you with a Xuan Shui Pill, and we'll let bygones be bygones. How about that? You weren't hurt at all, but I, your senior, have been lying in bed for several days in a miserable state!"
Xu Sanshi didn't think he was stupid. Du Weilun suddenly turned hostile, so Huo Yuhao must have some powerful backing that he didn't know about. He decided to back down for now and see how things went.
Avoid the sharp edge for the time being and be tolerant!
As for Jiang Nannan, he's not some simp; he can tell what's important!
Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Just call me Huo Yuhao, Senior Xu Sanshi. As for compensation—"
Huo Yuhao suddenly clutched his chest and said, "Ever since you attacked me, Senior Xu Sanshi, I've been having nightmares, and I've even had trouble entering a meditative state! To soothe my wounded soul, Senior Xu, you have to compensate me with a Profound Water Pill, right? My cultivation speed has been affected, so you have to give me another Profound Water Pill to make up for it, Senior?"
Wang Dong stared at Huo Yuhao with a strange expression, saying nothing.
Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give it to you."
Huo Yuhao continued, "That day, Senior Nan Nan and Senior Tang Ya tried to stop you..."
"Huo Yuhao, don't be too greedy!" Xu Sanshi shouted angrily.
Huo Yuhao's gaze shifted to Du Weilun, who stared intently at Xu Sanshi.
Xu Sanshi suppressed his anger and said, "Junior Brother Yuhao, please continue."
"That day, Sister Nannan and Sister Xiaoya suffered minor injuries while trying to stop you. It's not unreasonable for them to each receive a Xuan Shui Pill to heal their injuries, is it?"
"What? Nan Nan, you're injured?" Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xu Sanshi's eyes immediately softened, and he looked at Jiang Nan Nan with concern.
"Why didn't you tell me? Here, this is a Mystic Water Pill. Nannan, take it and use it to heal your injuries." Xu Sanshi immediately took out a bottle from his soul tool and shamelessly handed it to Jiang Nannan.
Jiang Nannan's face was cold, and her voice was as icy as winter as she said, "Xu Sanshi, how many times have I told you, please call me Jiang Nannan! I already have someone I like, so don't bother me!"
Xu Sanshi looked embarrassed and awkwardly withdrew his outstretched hand.
His expression shifted, then he glared angrily at Huo Yuhao, "I can give you Nan Nan's Xuan Shui Pill, but Tang Ya's? Absolutely not! Look at Tang Ya, she doesn't look injured at all! Do you think I'm a fool?"
Tang Ya, hands on her hips, huffed, "How come I don't look injured at all! Xu Sanshi, if you compensate me properly, I won't even want your worthless Xuan Shui Pill. But right now, I absolutely must have that Xuan Shui Pill from you!"
Xu Sanshi's face darkened. "I'm not going to compensate you with four Xuan Shui Pills. Do you think I'm stupid? You wouldn't even steal from me like this. I'd rather drop out of school!"
Seeing that Xu Sanshi had gone this far, and knowing he couldn't really expel him, Du Weilun quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Huo Yuhao, although Xu Sanshi attacked you first that day, he was also severely injured by you. I think three Xuan Shui Pills as compensation will suffice. What do you think?"
Seeing that this was Xu Sanshi's limit, Huo Yuhao finally nodded and agreed to the compensation of three Xuan Shui Pills.
He'd never done this kind of business in his past life—seriously injuring someone and still getting a huge sum of compensation?
Du Weiren left after acknowledging this approach.
With a pained expression, Xu Sanshi tossed two bottles to Huo Yuhao and said in a muffled voice, "These are two Profound Water Pills. These are all the Profound Water Pills I have on me right now. I'll give you the last one in a couple of days!"
Huo Yuhao happily put the two Xuan Shui Pills into his pocket and said with a smile, "Thank you for the gift, Senior Xu."
"For the last one, let's have a match at the Soul Arena. If you win, you don't need to give me that one. If I win, you can give me an extra one as compensation for Sister Xiaoya. How about that?"
Since Tang Ya just said that she must make Xu Sanshi compensate her for that Xuan Shui Pill, how could he let Xiao Ya go back on her word?
"Are you sure?" Xu Sanshi asked in surprise.
"I'm sure this is the only chance you have to beat me up openly, Senior Xu. Don't you agree, Senior Xu?" Huo Yuhao coaxed.
Xu Sanshi gave a thumbs up and said, "I've never heard such a request in my life. In that case, I'll grant your wish!"
"Yuhao, don't be impulsive! Xu Sanshi is a top-tier Soul Master, and also a top-tier Martial Soul, the Xuanming Turtle! How can you fight him in a Soul Battle? I've already taken the Xuan Shui Pill, I don't need this one! If it really doesn't work, let Beibei participate in your place!" Tang Ya quickly stopped Huo Yuhao, worried that Huo Yuhao would be injured by Xu Sanshi due to a moment of impulsiveness.
Beibei also said gently, "Then let me fight Xu Sanshi on behalf of Yuhao. Xu Sanshi, it's been a long time since I've sparred with you, so how about I fight you instead?"
Xu Sanshi shook his head, "That won't do. I just want to test this junior's mettle today and see what Nannan likes about him. If you participate in his place, Beibei, I won't bother fighting you! He's just recovered from a serious injury and is probably no match for Beibei."
