Chapter 55: The Prosperous Treasure Pavilion
The Treasure Trove is a large-scale event held annually at Shrek Academy's Treasure Pavilion.
On this day, every core disciple of Shrek Academy, except for the first-year students, will receive an invitation from the Treasure Pavilion to come to the Treasure Pavilion.
On this day, Shrek merchants in the Treasure Pavilion will display their most treasured items one by one.
Part of it was to show the students the low standards of Shrek Academy, and another part was to encourage them to use the credit the academy gave them to buy goods, so that they would indirectly owe the academy a favor.
Today happens to be the day that Jubaoge is holding a treasure appreciation event.
At this moment, the Treasure Pavilion was packed with people, with many students of all ages looking for items suitable for their cultivation.
Some of these academies even came all the way from the inner courtyard of Poseidon Lake just to attend this treasure appreciation event.
After all, this treasure hunt is not only hosted by the merchants in Shrek City, but also by merchants from the three major countries.
This demonstrates just how much influence and resources Shrek Academy has gained from its reputation as the world's number one academy for thousands of years.
However, two people in this group were completely uninterested in the cultivation resources that the treasure appreciation event could offer.
The two people were Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan, who had come for their date.
The two were not in the bustling resource trading area at this time, but were instead strolling around the jewelry area of the treasure appreciation fair.
It would be a lie to say they didn't take a peek at the resource trading area to see what kind of cultivation resources were available.
However, since both of them were high-ranking members of the Spirit Tower, their vision broadened and became very broad.
On the contrary, they looked down on the things offered by the treasure appreciation club.
However, this is unavoidable; the soul bones provided by the Treasure Appreciation Event are not as good as those collected by the Spirit Pagoda, the soul tools provided are not as good as those made by the Spirit Pagoda, and the rare and precious treasures provided are not as good as those of the Spirit Pagoda.
Therefore, after sightseeing for a while and finding nothing of interest, the two left the resource trading area.
At most, Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan bought a few soul tool design blueprints that the Spirit Pagoda lacked, some medicinal herbs, and a whale glue that appeared to be a thousand years old but was actually ten thousand years old.
So to some extent, it can be said that this treasure-hunting trip was simply a sightseeing trip for Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan.
Fortunately, this was originally just a date, so buying any cultivation resources was secondary.
Ultimately, what matters is the dating experience itself, not the shopping spree.
As for why we came to the jewelry section? It's because girls love to look beautiful.
Even a girl like Jiang Nannan, who doesn't dress up unless it's a formal occasion, is no exception.
Although Jiang Nannan became Xu Xingyu's personal secretary after joining the Spirit Tower, and helped him reorganize the Spirit Tower's wealth department.
But don't forget that Jiang Nannan is a rare Soul Master from a commoner background.
Jiang Nannan, a Soul Master from a commoner background, comes from an extremely poor family.
This leads to a tendency to save money whenever possible, in other words, to be hesitant to spend money and always haggling over prices.
Although her family's financial situation has improved significantly in recent years since joining the Spirit Tower, transforming them from a poor and destitute family to a middle-class one, Jiang Nannan still adheres to this principle.
She wouldn't be stingy with resources for cultivation or medicine for her mother's treatment.
This also makes Jiang Nannan different from other girls her age; she rarely buys luxury perfumes, cosmetics, decorations, and the like.
Even this time, Jiang Nannan only bought these things because she was going on a special date with Xu Xingyu, to dress herself up.
Every time the four of them went shopping, Xu Xingyu would notice that Jiang Nannan would look at the decorations that Wang Dong'er and Xu Yanxue bought with an envious gaze.
Although the two would recommend a few items that suited Jiang Nannan each time, she would politely decline after seeing the corresponding prices.
Xu Xingyu wanted to pay for her purchase, but at that time he was usually the one leading the group of them to buy the items.
So he didn't have much free time to take out his wallet and buy her her own accessories.
Of course, there was another reason: every time she went shopping, Wang Dong'er and Xu Yanxue would take her wallet, saying it was to prevent Xu Xingyu from taking her pocket money carelessly.
However, Xu Xingyu really wanted to complain about this: So, you guys using my money to buy so many things isn't considered extravagance?
However, every time Xu Xingyu tried to argue back, the two men would give her extremely cold looks, leaving her powerless to resist.
In the end, she could only let the two of them squander their money. After all, although they bought a lot of things, it was still a drop in the ocean for Xu Xingyu.
It's also very likely that Jiang Nannan unconsciously avoids situations where Xu Xingyu has to pay for her every time her wallet is stolen by the two men.
Xu Xingyu could only think through her tears, "What a sensible and good girl!"
That's why Xu Xingyu suddenly wanted to buy the other person a piece of jewelry that could showcase her beauty.
After all, it would be such a waste if a pretty girl didn't dress herself up a little!
With these thoughts in mind, the two arrived at the decoration area of Jubao Pavilion and began to look at the goods for sale inside.
During this process, Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan encounter Dugu Yanran, who is pulling Xu Sanshi's ear.
Dugu Yanran said helplessly, "My dear Sanshi! You can be silly, but there's a limit! Look at all the trouble you've caused others!"
Xu Sanshi could only respond with a pained expression, "Wife, I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have been so careless! Can you let go of me now? This really hurts!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yanran did not release Xu Sanshi's ear; instead, she intensified her efforts, twisting it and saying, "I can't hear what you said."
All Xu Sanshi could do was offer sweet words to appease the other party and hope that she would let him go as soon as possible.
It turns out that Dugu Yanran was feeling down because of what happened in the last Soul Battle competition. What was supposed to be a sure win was turned around by the intervention of an outsider.
Even after exposing the other party's cheating, the academy was only given a perfunctory result of a draw.
Dugu Yanran was naturally furious at this biased behavior, but unfortunately, this was someone else's territory.
How they handle it is their business. After all, they are the ones who set the rules, so whatever they say goes.
However, this inevitably caused Dugu Yanran to feel a slight sense of disappointment towards Shrek Academy, the number one academy in the world.
Xu Sanshi noticed that his girlfriend was in a bad mood, so he took advantage of the treasure appreciation event to have a long-awaited date with Dugu Yanran, which was a good opportunity to relax.
However, during this process, Xu Sanshi started to act silly and goofy just to make his girlfriend Hong happy.
At first, thankfully, what Xu Sanshi did wasn't too outrageous, and it was quite funny.
However, they almost broke someone's product, which led to a reprimand for both of them, and thus the scene that unfolded before Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan began.
Seeing the two still flirting, Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan decided not to disturb each other's business and to continue their date.
After wandering around for a while, neither Xu Xingyu nor Jiang Nannan found anything they liked, which made them somewhat disappointed, so they prepared to leave Jubaoge.
But just a second before leaving, Xu Xingyu found what he was looking for: an ice-blue headband.
