Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er waved her hand nonchalantly, saying in a very proud tone, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll buy you one when I see something good tonight."
Seeing Wang Dong'er's renewed energy, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but want to tease her: "Dong'er, weren't you just vowing to cause trouble? Why are you now asking me to pay for it?"
"Humph, the me yesterday is not the me now, and the me just now is not the me now."
Wang Dong'er shook her head. "I'm in a good mood now, so I decided to show off my wealth as the Young Master of the Haotian Sect, so they can see it for themselves."
Huo Yuhao thought about the price of the golden left arm bone that the academy had specially given him in his previous life, which was extremely suitable for Wang Donger, and followed up on her words and asked:
"I wonder how many gold soul coins you, the young master of the Haotian Sect, have moved from the Haotian Sect's treasury to replenish your small treasury this time?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Donger showed a disdainful smile on her face, stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of Huo Yuhao.
Cui Yajie, who was whispering with Zhu Lu, couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw Wang Dong'er's action: "Dong'er, you came to school directly with 500,000 gold soul coins?"
Seeing the shock on Cui Yajie's face, Wang Dong'er smugly shook her finger. "No, no, no, how could it be only 500,000? Before I left the sect, my eldest father stuffed at least 5 million in the storage soul guide device I had."
"five million?"
Hearing this number, even the usually calm Ning Tian was a little surprised.
Five million gold soul coins, this is almost equivalent to the total tax revenue of an imperial capital like Xingluo City for an entire month.
It is true that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is rich enough to rival a country, but most of the sect's wealth has either been converted into various fixed assets or stored in the treasury as various natural treasures and rare metals, so the cash flow is indeed not very abundant.
Although as the young master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she could mobilize tens of millions of gold soul coins in a short period of time, but it was still difficult for her to carry it with her as easily as Wang Donger.
As Ning Tian's thoughts raced, his gaze subconsciously fell on Huo Yuhao again.
If we were to ask who is the truly rich among this group of people, it would probably be Huo Yuhao.
The total revenue from the soul guide manufacturing blueprints that he leaked through the Jiubao Pavilion channel alone is probably no less than hundreds of millions of gold soul coins.
Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Donger's smug expression but didn't say much. After all, the academy might not give out that soul bone this time.
At this time, Zhu Lu, who had been gently pushed by Cui Yajie, lowered her head slightly, blushed, and walked to Huo Yuhao's side. She stammered and said,
"Yuhao, Yajie is going to get her third spirit ring. Tonight... can you accompany me to the treasure viewing party?"
Hearing Zhu Lu's somewhat shy question, the girls who were chatting and laughing around stopped their conversation.
Even Wang Dong'er, who had just been so proud of himself, couldn't help but show a look of regret on his face.
Why didn’t I think of this?
Huo Yuhao felt their gazes, all filled with various meanings, cast at him in unison. He scratched his hair uneasily, and his blue-gold eyes revealed a rare hint of panic.
He said hesitantly:
"I don't think I have anything else to do tonight, so I can accompany you to the Treasure Pavilion for a walk."
After hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, all the eyes that were originally directed at him disappeared.
Wang Dong'er started bragging about her glorious past deeds again, causing the girls around her to laugh again.
After dinner.
Huo Yuhao specifically asked for Gu Yuena's opinion. After learning that she planned to catch up on sleep and not participate in the evening activities, he walked towards Shrek City with Ning Tian, Wang Donger and others, chatting and laughing.
Shrek City was already very lively in the evening, and perhaps because of the treasure appreciation party held by Jubao Pavilion tonight, the streets were even more crowded, and everywhere you looked, there were dense crowds of people.
The group was not in a hurry to reach their destination. They stopped as they walked, and went to take a look at any interesting stalls or novel foods they saw. It took them almost half an hour to leisurely arrive at the Jubao Pavilion.
Compared with the nine-story Jiubao Pavilion of the Jiubao Glazed Tile Sect, the Jubao Pavilion appears to be smaller and more exquisite.
Although the area it occupies is not too large, its exterior is still decorated with gold and splendor. From a distance, the overall shape looks like a treasure bowl.
Wang Dong'er looked at the eight girls in uniform long skirts standing on both sides of the entrance of Jubao Pavilion to welcome guests. Their skirts were slit quite high, revealing their snow-white skin intentionally or unintentionally, and she couldn't help but laugh and said to Ning Tian.
"Ning Tian, it seems the tactics used by these chambers of commerce are similar. I wonder if some unscrupulous person will fall for it and spend a fortune just to win a beautiful woman's smile."
Ning Tian shook his head and explained, "This treasure appreciation meeting was jointly organized by some major merchants in Shrek City, and it was not organized by Jubao Pavilion alone.
Inside you can also see the items we have on consignment at the Nine Treasures Pavilion. More importantly, behind this Treasure Pavilion stands Shrek Academy.
Hearing Ning Tian's words, the smile on Wang Dong'er's face froze slightly. She seemed to remember her bold words during the day. She couldn't help but laugh dryly twice and quickly changed the subject.
"Hey, everyone, stop standing at the door. Let's go in and see if there's anything good."
Before anyone could move, a steady voice sounded in their ears.
"You're Huo Yuhao, right? I'm Dai Huabin's older brother, Dai Yueheng. Since this is our first meeting, would you be so kind as to chat with me privately?"
Huo Yuhao stopped walking when he heard the voice and turned around to see a very tall man with a handsome face and a bit of fortitude, dressed in the clothes of the inner court.
A hint of surprise flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. He didn't expect to meet Dai Yueheng here.
Zhu Lu, who was standing next to Huo Yuhao, turned pale the moment she saw Dai Yueheng. She subconsciously reached out and tightly grasped the corner of Huo Yuhao's clothes, with obvious worry revealed in her eyes of different colors.
Wang Dong'er, Ning Tian and Wu Feng all had unfriendly expressions on their faces.
They naturally did not forget that Dai Huabin had sent assassins to attack Huo Yuhao.
As one of the witnesses at the time, Wang Dong'er sneered without hesitation and said:
"What's going on? Are you from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion still looking to get back at me? Or did you beat up the younger one, and now the older one's coming?"
Wu Feng also echoed, "Indeed, why don't you just call your father, the Duke, over as well?"
A hint of displeasure flashed across Dai Yueheng's eyes, but he suppressed his irritation and put on a sincere smile. "You two schoolmates, you are too kind. Dai Huabin and I are not of the same mind. I have warned him many times before not to take advantage of the power of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to do anything wrong."
But I didn't expect him to take my warning to heart, and the previous incident happened. As his brother, I am also very sad. Now I just hope that Junior Huo can give me a chance so that we can talk alone and perhaps resolve some misunderstandings.
Huo Yuhao stopped Wang Donger, who was about to say something, and said calmly:
"Senior Dai, I don't think there's anything much to talk about between us. As the saying goes, if you don't agree, there's no point in talking. What can you possibly talk to me about? We might as well stop here."
Dai Yueheng's sincerity deepened. "Brother Huo, what I want to discuss with you is about Aunt Huo. I wonder if you would be willing to give me this opportunity to discuss it in detail?"
As he spoke, Dai Yuheng pointed to the other side of the Jubao Pavilion, indicating that he wanted to talk alone.
Huo Yuhao fell silent.
Dai Yuheng looked at the calm blue-gold eyes of the young man in front of him, and for some reason he suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.
Before Dai Yueheng could ponder the origin of this feeling, Huo Yuhao's expression grew increasingly calm. He simply said calmly, "Ning Tian, please take everyone inside first. I want to have a good talk with Senior Dai."
Ning Tian glanced at Huo Yuhao and nodded, stopping Wu Feng who was in a hot temper and wanted to take action. He then signaled Zhu Lu to hold back Wang Donger who wanted to say something, and they all walked into the Treasure Pavilion together.
But before they went in, they kept looking back at Huo Yuhao, obviously still worried about his safety.
Seeing that there were no outsiders present, Dai Yuheng could complete the task assigned by his father. His smile widened, "Junior brother, please come in."
Huo Yuhao took a step forward and suddenly asked a question.
"Senior Dai, you said Dai Huabin is now a disabled person. I wonder if he is doing well in the Duke's Mansion?"
Dai Yueheng's smile froze, he looked at Huo Yuhao deeply and asked back.
"Do you want him to live a good life or a bad life?"
"How can an outsider like me decide this matter?"
Huo Yuhao's lips curled up in mockery. "Whether it's the Duchess or the White Tiger Duke, I think they should know better, right?"
Chapter 131 A Smart Brain
When Dai Yuheng heard Huo Yuhao's question with obvious mockery in it, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but a glimmer of calculation flashed across his eyes.
The greatest significance of Dai Huabin's dethronement to him was that it completely cleared the last obstacle for him to inherit the throne of Duke.
As for Huo Yuhao, he was just an illegitimate child, not to mention that he was the direct disciple of the elder of the Sea God Pavilion.
The Xingluo royal family would never allow someone so deeply involved with Shrek Academy to inherit the title of Duke White Tiger.
Even after graduating from the Inner Court, he had to return to the Xingluo Empire to join the military and accumulate military merits to pave the way step by step, so that he could legitimately inherit his father's title in the future.
As for the slight disrespect and youthful arrogance in Huo Yuhao's words, Dai Yueheng did not take it to heart.
Dai Hao had already told him privately that when the Soul Master Competition came, he would personally handle Huo Yuhao's affairs and told him not to worry.
Today is just a formality, to appease this so-called younger brother and test his attitude.
Thinking of this, the smile on Dai Yueheng's face became more sincere and gentle. He looked at Huo Yuhao and said in an apologetic tone:
"Hua Bin's previous incident was indeed due to his recklessness, which caused you and your mother a lot of trouble and harm. For this, my father has severely punished my mother and asked her to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors.
My father also specifically asked me to tell you that the door of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion is always open to you. If you wish, you can bring Aunt Huo back to the Duke's Mansion at any time. The mansion will give her the best care to make up for the debt we owe to you over the years..."
Before Dai Yueheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Huo Yuhao's cold voice.
Looking at Dai Yuheng's face with a false smile, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of nausea rising from the bottom of his heart.
"Senior Dai, you're probably talking about your mother, right? Whether she received some so-called minor punishment or a major admonition, or whether she was completely fine.
I find it truly disgusting that you would deliberately come to me and bring up this matter, trying to demonstrate your father's so-called 'sincerity.'"
The smile on Dai Yuheng's face completely froze.
His mother did not receive any substantial punishment.
Not only that, Dai Hao was worried that his mother would be emotionally unstable because of Dai Huabin's matter, which would affect the stability of the family, so he had to take the trouble to ask someone to comfort her.
Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Yueheng's expression that changed instantly, and the coldness and mockery in his tone became more and more obvious.
"If Dai Hao truly felt any remorse, if he truly felt that he owed my mother,"
Huo Yuhao's voice was low, but every word was clear. "Then what he should have done was not send you, his son, here to act hypocritically. Instead, he should have come here himself, kneeled on the ground, and kowtowed to my mother to apologize!"
After saying that, Huo Yuhao didn’t bother to even glance at Dai Yueheng. He simply turned around and walked towards the gate of the Treasure Pavilion.
"you……"
Dai Yuheng looked at Huo Yuhao's departing back. The smile on his face completely disappeared, replaced by a dark look, and the aura around him suddenly turned cold.
He didn't expect Huo Yuhao to be so stubborn and ungrateful!
Obviously, his own father has expressed his willingness to give in.
You, the illegitimate son who thinks you are the nephew of the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion, do you really think you can turn the world upside down?
Are there not enough geniuses who have not grown up on the mainland?
Not to mention Shrek Academy, in order to maintain its neutral position and the friendship that has lasted for thousands of years between it and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, how could it really rashly interfere in the family affairs of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion just for you, a disciple?
Just like the so-called punishments that the college had previously imposed on Dai Huabin, in the end it was just a lot of noise but little action and ended up in nothing.
