Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Huo Yuhao again.

Wang Dong'er even whispered to Xiao Xiao beside her, "Xiao Xiao, is there any unmarried princess in the Xingluo royal family? Otherwise, why would Yuhao have to go?"

Xiao Xiao responded unhappily: "Dong'er, I'm not from the Xingluo Empire, how could I possibly know about the Xingluo royal family?"

Apart from Ning Tian, ​​who knew part of the inside story, everyone else looked even more strange, as if Huo Yuhao would be forcibly detained and become the consort of the Xingluo royal family.

"I object!"

Xian Lin'er was the first to stand up and slam the table.

Even though Huo Yuhao's complexion has recovered a little now, it's just a banquet. If he doesn't go, will his Xingluo Royal Family dare to do anything to the people of Shrek Academy?

Not to mention this kind of dirty aristocratic banquet, who knows what the Xingluo royal family will come up with to seduce their beloved disciples.

His own disciples were still so young, how could they withstand the corrupt temptations of the royal family?

If he was deceived and had to get up from a princess's bed the next day, how would his disciples live their lives in the future?

"It's just a banquet, what good can it do? Yuhao needs rest right now, not some boring social event. Could it be that if we don't go, the Xingluo Royal Family will do something to us?"

Zhang Lexuan felt a little headache when she saw Xian Lin'er, who was eager to protect her child.

She always felt that the current Xian Lin'er was a little different from the image in her previous memory, as if there was a bit of maternal radiance that had nowhere to go?

She could only say softly, "Yuhao, what do you think? If you don't plan to go, I'll just decline it for you, and the Xingluo Royal Family won't dare to say anything."

Huo Yuhao certainly still remembered the reason why the Xingluo Royal Family came to find him, but for something like trading the Soul-Devouring Blade, shouldn’t everyone just meet in a small dark room, exchange the money and the goods and be done with it? Why did they have to throw a banquet?

Thinking of his dealings with Princess Xingluo in his previous life, a princess who was quite capable and had a strong passion for power, he could only hope that it would not be her who would talk to him at this banquet.

After thinking for a moment, he said softly, "Teacher, I'm fine. Besides, this conversation with the Xingluo Royal Family was arranged by me through the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. You can also ask Ning Tian about this matter."

Huo Yuhao was naturally determined to obtain the Soul-Devouring Sword.

Most of Gu Yuena's Soul Gold was still stored in the Lake of Life, serving as the life core of the Star Dou Great Forest. Being able to simply obtain a piece of Soul Gold the size of a carving knife was naturally a great blessing.

However, if it weren't for the fact that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had made a slightly larger purchase in order to reawaken Old Yi as soon as possible, causing the Xingluo Royal Family to discover the special nature of this carving knife, we wouldn't have reached the point today where we need to have further discussions with the Xingluo Royal Family.

Dealing with the royal family is a time-consuming and laborious task. Sometimes a simple matter becomes complicated.

When dealing with a soul master sect, you only need to consider whether your fist is strong enough, but when talking to the imperial royal family, you need to consider a lot. After all, they are the nominal controllers of a country's territory.

Seeing Ning Tian nod and Huo Yuhao agree, Xian Lin'er didn't know what to say anymore and could only sit down again in a huff.

As the dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, she naturally could not attend such a banquet to avoid suspicion.

The thought of his beloved disciple going to such a dirty adults' banquet, and maybe even being teased by the ladies at the banquet, made him feel very proud. He heard that those older women liked his disciple's handsome and somewhat fragile appearance the most.

What if someone put drugs in the tea that Huo Yuhao drank?

As Xian Lin'er was immersed in her wild thoughts, the atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly strange.

There are a total of three places to attend the banquet. The leading teacher is undoubtedly Zhang Lexuan, and Huo Yuhao was specially designated by the Xingluo Royal Family to take up one place.

So the last remaining spot...

The conference room seemed to be suddenly filled with a faint smell of gunpowder.

The three people who were not involved were so frightened that they quickly found excuses and slipped away.

After the irrelevant personnel closed the door of the conference room and left, the smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger.

Ma Xiaotao tapped the table with her fingers, breaking the silent atmosphere.

"The banquet was originally intended to invite the leaders of each team to exchange ideas. As the captain of the selected team, it is only natural for me to represent the academy and attend."

Ling Luochen let out an almost inaudible sneer and calmly retorted, "You're going to have a discussion? Be careful not to overturn someone else's party just because of a disagreement."

"Ling Luochen, you..."

Ma Xiaotao glared with her phoenix eyes and was about to explode.

Ning Tian glanced at everyone calmly and said in a humble tone:

"As junior students, we lack experience and shouldn't have competed for this opportunity. But this is also a good opportunity to gain experience. I think with the senior sister looking after us, nothing will go wrong, so naturally I want to participate."

After hearing Ning Tian's words, the eyes of Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao and others lit up.

They thought they were not qualified to compete for this spot, but the reason Ning Tian came up with was so good.

Wang Dong'er was the first to speak up, agreeing, "I'm well versed in banquet etiquette from all over the continent, so I'm definitely the most suitable person to go with Huo Yuhao."

"Although I don't know as much as Dong'er, I still know a little bit about the etiquette in Xingluo City..."

"I, I don't understand anything, but I will listen to you and definitely won't cause any trouble..."

"..."

Listening to everyone's various reasons and seeing that they were about to quarrel, Zhang Lexuan rubbed her brows with a headache, and finally could only bring up a heavy topic.

"It seems everyone was really obedient last night and didn't leave their rooms to wander around outside. I don't even know how widespread the rumors about our academy are."

Zhang Lexuan, who has always been calm and composed, now has a somewhat confusing tone. She glanced at everyone before speaking slowly.

"It's being rumored that the female students at Shrek Academy are being reckless and are fighting over Yu Hao every day.

There are even more outrageous claims, saying Yuhao is some kind of 100,000-year-old immortal herb that has transformed into a human form, and that just smelling it near him can increase one's cultivation."

Hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, the expressions of the women present froze instantly.

"Of course," Zhang Lexuan paused, "the most widely circulated and most believed version now is the secret room version certified by the Angel Clan.

They say our academy has mastered some unique secret chamber cultivation method, and as long as you squeeze Yu Hao, his soul power will increase rapidly."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao almost spit out the water he had just drunk.

Several big question marks suddenly appeared in his mind.

Angel Clan? Secret Chamber?

He subconsciously thought of the girl with an angelic spirit in Zhengtian Academy in his previous life.

But the problem is that I shouldn't have any hatred or resentment towards her, right?

Why would she go so far as to create such outrageous rumors about herself?

Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.

After hearing these extremely outrageous rumors, the girls who were arguing fiercely all stopped arguing.

It’s not that they are afraid of anything, but in the current situation, if anyone behaves too intimately with Huo Yuhao at the banquet, a more explosive version will probably spread tomorrow.

When the news gets to the ears of my elders, I'm afraid they will rush to the academy with a 30-meter-long sword to demand an explanation.

What was being spread out was not the sweet love story between herself and Huo Yuhao, but a story about a group of terrible women with ulterior motives, ravaging a delicate and helpless beautiful boy.

They still need to save their image.

After a brief and silent discussion, the girls finally reached a consensus.

Because the rumors were too outrageous, and they really couldn't decide who was more suitable to go.

In order to avoid escalating rumors in such a high-profile public setting, people simply chose not to go.

After the meeting was over, Huo Yuhao was carried back to the room by Xian Lin'er and laid on the bed to continue resting.

Xian Lin'er thought about what had just happened in the conference room, sat on the chair beside the bed, and said in a meaningful tone:

"Yuhao, outstanding people always attract many different kinds of people of the opposite sex, but the teacher hopes that you will not be indecisive.

Either make plans early, love only one person, and don't let others get hurt because of you. Or try hard to love everyone, don't be afraid, don't think about what will happen tomorrow, time will eventually tell you the answer.

"Teacher, I..."

Huo Yuhao didn't expect that Xian Lin'er would say this to him.

"Teacher, I'm only telling you this as someone who's been through this. Rather, if you hadn't made any vows of eternal love to someone, saying you only loved that person, I wouldn't be treating you this way.

If you dare to play with other girls' hearts, I will definitely be the first to deal with you. Although they often bicker, at least they are all thinking about you, which means you haven't deceived them. I am very satisfied with this, teacher.

Xian Lin'er nodded slightly and gently touched Huo Yuhao's hair.

"No matter what, I am still your teacher. Although our school has always advocated for a lifelong relationship because of the original generation of the Shrek Seven Devils, since you have chosen this path, if the girl's family comes to trouble you in the future, I will fend them off for you one by one."

Chapter 148 Can modesty be eaten?

"Teacher, do I really have to wear this dress?"

Huo Yuhao looked at himself in the mirror and felt a little unreal.

The boy in the mirror has an upright posture, slender but not thin.

The top is made of the finest black velvet, which is soft and shiny.

The collar, cuffs and hem were all embroidered with intricate and delicate ice crystal patterns using extremely fine silver thread. Under the soft light in the room, tiny silver lights flashed from time to time, like stars in the night sky.

The trouser legs were well-cut, perfectly outlining his slender legs without any baggage.

This outfit calmed down his originally gentle temperament and added a bit of maturity and nobility that was rarely seen in ordinary days.

"Of course I'll wear this!"

Xian Lin'er reached out and carefully straightened Huo Yuhao's collar, then took a few steps back and looked him up and down again, her face full of satisfaction.

"It seems that the style we picked out together this afternoon really suits your temperament. After all, you have to go to discuss with the Xingluo royal family tonight, and those royal bastards like to judge people by their appearance.

Besides, the rumors out there are so ugly right now. If you are recognized by others at the party, it will help them put those dirty thoughts back."

Xian Lin'er's voice was filled with indignation, and it was obvious that she was still upset about the rumors about the "secret room" and "ravage".

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao could only smile helplessly.

"I just feel a little uncomfortable."

In his previous life, since he entered Shrek Academy, he wore the academy's uniform most of the time.

After all, he didn't have extra money to buy new clothes at that time, and he didn't care much about external things like clothes. Later, when he became stronger, he just casually wore a set of white tights.

He actually felt a little surprised that he was dressed so formally now.

"You have to get used to it even if you're not used to it."

Xian Lin'er walked forward, stretched out her finger, and gently poked his forehead, her tone full of anger.

"You'll be facing many more occasions in the future. Although I don't know what you're going to deal with the Xingluo Royal Family, don't eat anything at the banquet. Especially those drinks handed to you by women you don't know. Don't touch them at all. Do you understand?"
