Looking at her like this, Huo Yuhao thought calmly.
He has always been good at judging people, so he could tell that what Wang Dong'er said at this time was the truth.
As long as he agrees to Wang Dong'er here, he can get the support of Wang Dong'er and the family behind her.
Wang Dong'er always carries millions of gold soul coins with her, so her family power is not simple no matter how you look at it. She is so beautiful herself, so agreeing to her confession will definitely be a good deal.
However, Huo Yuhao's body still disobeyed his brain's command. He opened his mouth and said with difficulty:
"I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness, but I really don't have any feelings for you in this regard right now."
Chapter 99 Distress
"So, you were rejected by him?"
"Um……"
The next day, in Zhu Yun's room, Zhu Yun and Wang Dong'er sat face to face at the table.
Wang Dong'er looked haggard at this moment. She was originally scheduled to play in today's match, but she lied that she was not feeling well, skipped the match, and came to Zhu Yun who was not originally going to play.
Since the opponent drawn today was not strong, it wouldn't make much difference even if Wang Dong'er was not there, so Wang Yan just let her go.
Zhu Yun looked Wang Dong'er up and down, and praised her from the bottom of his heart:
"To be honest, although I had anticipated that your true form would be very beautiful, being this beautiful really exceeded my expectations."
Wang Dong'er's face is pale now, and her eyes are a little red, but this does not diminish her beauty. Instead, it makes her look more dreamy and weak.
It seems that if you are not careful, she will disappear in front of you, which greatly stimulates people's desire to protect her.
Wang Dong'er shook her head heavily and forced a smile from the corner of her mouth with difficulty.
"Don't flatter me. No matter what I look like, he still can't accept me, right?"
Having said that, she felt a little better when she heard Zhu Yun say that she was pretty.
In fact, she deliberately changed back into her true form to see Zhu Yun, just to know from Zhu Yun why she failed yesterday and whether there was something wrong with her dressing.
In front of Wang Yan and others, she still acted in men's clothing for the time being.
Zhu Yun picked up the apple on the table and shrugged lightly.
"Don't be so disappointed, you still have a chance."
"...But he rejected me directly yesterday, didn't he?"
Wang Dong'er seemed to recall some bad memories and her breathing became rapid.
"He rejected me without even a moment's hesitation. Isn't it obvious that I have no chance at all?"
"Oh, idiot."
Zhu Yun shook his head helplessly and said:
"Don't you realize it yet? Being rejected is your victory at this stage."
"……What's the meaning?"
"literal meaning."
Zhu Yun took a bite of the apple and looked out the window towards the stadium.
"If Brother Hao had agreed to your request without even thinking about it, you would have had no chance of winning. But the fact that he rejected you actually shows that you hold a significant place in his heart."
"?"
Wang Dong'er became even more confused.
Why did being rejected mean that Huo Yuhao was more interested in her?
"Because Brother Hao actually dotes on his own people."
As if seeing through Wang Donger's doubts, Zhu Yun replied softly:
"If the other person is someone he truly values, he won't get close to them easily. Instead, he'll keep his distance and treat the relationship with extreme caution."
Just like the night of the engagement party.
It was obvious that if he just followed the adults' procedures, he could get a companion like Zhu Yun who had a fused martial soul, but he still chose to confirm her wishes with her.
This just shows that in his heart, Zhu Yun's wishes override the benefits brought by the fusion of martial souls.
The current situation is similar, but there are some slight differences.
"In short, I suggest you wait patiently and don't get discouraged so quickly. It's still uncertain how the situation will develop."
…………
After walking out of Xingluo Square, Huo Yuhao let out a long breath.
His strength seemed to be lost along with the breath he exhaled, and his whole body felt extremely weak.
He was very absent-minded in today's game, but fortunately his opponent was weak enough and Shrek was too strong, so no problems arose.
Wang Yan seemed to think that his abnormality was deliberately pretended to confuse his opponent, and let him leave the competition venue without saying anything more.
In fact, Huo Yuhao is now troubled by Wang Donger’s confession last night.
From last night until now, he has been thinking about what happened.
He himself couldn't understand why he refused.
You should treat people differently according to their needs. Ning Tian follows him for the sake of benefits, so as long as he can offer her benefits that are attractive enough to make her interested, she will definitely stay by his side.
On the other hand, since Wang Dong'er likes him, he should take advantage of her affection and find a way to tie her down with his feelings.
But the thought of doing such a thing disgusted him from the bottom of his heart.
"In the end, I still can't be a real villain..."
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He originally thought that he could do anything for profit, but he didn't expect that there were still things he couldn't do.
So what should he do next?
Huo Yuhao felt a rare sense of confusion in his heart.
His mind told him that the best answer was to go to Wang Dong'er to apologize as soon as possible and accept her feelings, but his emotions could not accept it.
He wandered around the streets in confusion, not knowing where to go.
"Xiao Yuhao~"
"!"
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind him. Huo Yuhao was suddenly startled and turned around quickly, only to find that Ye Yu had been standing behind him without him noticing.
Ye Yu chuckled when she saw how frightened he was.
"Hey, don't be so flustered. It's almost like you've done something bad."
“…In fact, it’s pretty much the same.”
"Oh?"
Ye Yu blinked.
"So the reason you're so out of sorts today is because you feel guilty about doing something bad?"
"You've been watching."
Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly.
It seems that the teacher has seen my ugly behavior.
Ye Yu nodded proudly.
"Of course. You are my disciple, so I must pay attention to every bit of your progress."
This time Ye Yu came to watch the game just to see how Huo Yuhao performed after obtaining the Mirror Shadow Beast Skull.
She also knew that Huo Yuhao was deliberately hiding his strength, but some things could not be hidden from a true strong man like her.
Huo Yuhao was clearly not in top form today. If he could compete with a Soul Sage in his normal state after obtaining the Mirror Shadow Beast's skull, he was now only at the same level as an ordinary Soul Emperor.
She came to see Huo Yuhao specifically to find out why his condition suddenly became so bad.
Now it seems that I have found a reason.
Ye Yu extended his hand towards Huo Yuhao.
"Come on, let's go to the teacher's room and have a good talk."
Huo Yuhao did not hold her hand, and said hesitantly:
"Um, teacher, it's not a big deal. I'll be able to adjust myself in a couple of days. You don't need to worry about it."
He was still a little reluctant to tell others about this kind of thing.
"Okay, stop being shy and let's go!"
However, Ye Yu completely ignored him. Seeing that he did not take her hand, she quickly stepped forward, forcibly grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand, and dragged him towards the palace.
Feeling the tremendous power coming from her small hands, Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly and gave up resisting.
Never mind. She meant well after all.
Chapter 100 Ye Yu's Proposal
The layout of Ye Yu's room was not the same as what Huo Yuhao had imagined. There was very little decoration, only the simplest arrangement, making the room look very empty.
After Ye Yu asked Huo Yuhao to sit down, he took out a box of tea from the drawer and made him a cup of tea.
During this time, Huo Yuhao wanted to help, but she directly refused him on the grounds that he would only make things worse by making tea.
Five minutes later, Ye Yu placed the teacup in front of Huo Yuhao and said briskly:
"Come, have a taste. I'm very confident in my cooking skills."
"Okay, thank you teacher."
Huo Yuhao bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.
