Chapter 74 Ning Tian's Invitation
He was naturally unwilling to let Dai Yueheng attend Xingluo National Academy.
Everyone in the Star Luo aristocratic circle knows that Dai Yueheng had previously studied at Shrek Academy. His sudden move to the Star Luo National Academy is quite embarrassing for him.
Dai Yueheng wasn't stupid. The trouble he and Dai Huabin had caused was big enough to put the Dai family in a very passive position. So Dai Hao was taking a step back to move forward by sending him as a hostage.
With a long sigh, Dai Yueheng bowed respectfully, "Yes... I will put the bigger picture first."
Dai Hao smiled with satisfaction. "Hmm, a true man of the Dai family knows when to yield and when to stand firm. But it's not the Dai family's style to take a beating without fighting back. That kid's name is Huo Yuhao, right? I'll deal with him myself!"
Dai Yueheng's face stiffened, and he glanced at his mother, the Duchess, without making a sound, and sighed inwardly.
The Duchess's eyes lit up, and she said with a ferocious expression, "Yes! We must not let him get away!"
Dai Hao nodded, but just as he was about to end the conversation, he suddenly remembered something and asked casually.
"By the way, how's Yun'er? I haven't seen her for a while."
"Huh? Her?"
The Duchess paused for a moment, then, after a quick thought, calmly gave the answer she had already prepared.
"She passed away several years ago after suffering from a serious illness. At that time, you were too busy with military affairs to bother her."
Dai Hao frowned slightly, but still waved his hand, "...Never mind, there's nothing more to say now that she's gone. Yueheng, get ready. Oh, and remember to cultivate a good relationship with Princess Jiujiu on campus, and try to win her over."
Dai Yueheng bowed respectfully and said confidently, "Yes, Father!"
Shrek Academy, Outer Division.
The freshman competition is still ongoing, and compared to the other students' desperate efforts, Huo Yuhao is having a much easier time.
If you want to fight, then fight; if you don't want to fight, then forget it. Anyway, if he wins one round, he can confirm his status as a core disciple. As for the champion, everyone knows who the strongest freshman is... If you're not convinced, you can have a one-on-one fight.
On his way to the cafeteria at noon, he ran into two unexpected people.
There were two girls.
The girl on the left was wearing a tight leather jacket and boots, with short red hair. Although she was young, her face still looked a bit childish, but her figure was already quite curvaceous.
The other was a girl with short blonde hair, delicate features, and an elegant demeanor befitting a well-bred young lady, with a faint smile on her face.
While eating, she stared intently at Huo Yuhao. Although many girls would look at him with a hint of admiration when they met him, their eyes held a scrutinizing quality.
As expected, after finishing their meal, the two blocked Huo Yuhao's way.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the two of them a few times, confirming that they were neither there to deliver love letters nor to cause trouble.
"Hello, you two. What can I do for you?"
The girl with short blonde hair gracefully extended her hand to Huo Yuhao and said softly, "Hello, Yuhao. I've heard so much about you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Ning Tian, and this is Wu Feng. We come from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School... I see. Hello, Ning Tian." Huo Yuhao also politely extended his hand to shake hers.
Looking at the two clasped hands, a cold glint flashed in Wu Feng's dark red eyes, and he tilted his head slightly as if he were being a little sullen.
Although Ning Tian had heard of Huo Yuhao beforehand and had done a lot of research, he had to admit that only by getting close could he truly see that Huo Yuhao's appearance was indeed stunning. Even Ning Tian, who had been used to seeing handsome men since childhood, couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
His breathtakingly exquisite features were flawless, and his sky-blue eyes, as clear as the sky, were captivating. Looking into them even felt like a cleansing of the soul. Combined with the gentle smile on his lips, he gave off a warm feeling like a spring breeze. However, there was also a hint of sharpness in his eyes and brows, which gave this warmth a sense of balance.
Huo Yuhao released Ning Tian's small hand, subtly creating a small distance between them. "So, Ning Tian, what brings you here? I don't think it's to discuss the freshman competition."
Ning Tian smiled gently, "Of course, I believe that Huo Yuhao can definitely win the championship if he wants to. I didn't come to Huo Yuhao to talk about something that has already been decided."
She gestured for him to join her, saying, "If Huo Yuhao doesn't mind, we can go to the tea house for dessert and then chat some more. Of course, it's on me."
Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, "Uh... Red Tea House?"
There is a teahouse in the Foreign Languages Department that sells all kinds of desserts and cakes. It is a place for students in the Foreign Languages Department to relax and have fun after meals. It is usually the upperclassmen who go there to spend money.
But in reality, it's generally assumed that couples go there together... As someone who considers himself single, Huo Yuhao naturally had never been to that place filled with the saccharine smell of romance.
Now is a good opportunity to go there and have some snacks that I've been wanting to eat for a long time.
It's likely that Miss Ning Tian was just discussing team formation or business. Team formation is something she could consider, as it's not suitable for her to always fight alone, and no Soul Master would refuse the assistance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Ahem, then I shall respectfully accept your offer."
Sure enough, just as lunch was ending, the tea house was filled with groups of older students chatting amicably, and waiters dressed as maids and servants were pushing carts back and forth delivering pastries.
Huo Yuhao was a little dazzled by the dazzling array of exquisite pictures. They were all simply called "cake," so why were they given so many fancy names?
Sliced cakes, cheesecakes, Mont Blanc, mille-feuille, and many other kinds of cakes...
Every cake looked delicious, but the most eye-catching was the "Strawberry Maze," which was filled with three large strawberries.
Hmm... girls probably like strawberry cake too, right?
Looking at the price, it was indeed a bit expensive, but at least Huo Yuhao had never heard of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School being short of money.
"This is the one we'll take. Where's Ning Tian?"
It was obvious that Ning Tian and the other girls were more familiar with the different kinds of pastries. Pointing to a picture, she said, "I'll have the Black Forest Secret, and three chocolate milk teas too. Oh, and Feng Mei, you can eat with me."
The waitress in a maid's uniform quickly wrote it down and then left.
Soon, three cups of chocolate milk tea were served.
After gracefully touching the cup of milk tea with his lips, Ning Tian sighed briefly, rested his cheek on his hand, and looked at Huo Yuhao with a somewhat ambiguous gaze.
