"Snap!" The crisp sound was particularly harsh in the infirmary.
Zhu Lu was caught off guard and was hit by the palm. She staggered back a few steps and finally fell to the ground.
At this time, Cui Yajie, who heard the noise in the infirmary, also pushed the door open and walked in.
She saw Zhu Lu sitting on the ground, her face as pale as paper, and even a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Cui Yajie's face, which originally had a bit of lazy charm, suddenly turned cold and looked at Dai Huabin who was still on the hospital bed.
"Dai Huabin, you couldn't beat Huo Yuhao yourself, so you were beaten unconscious. Now that you're awake, you only dare to hit Zhu Lu, right? What kind of man are you?"
Cui Yajie's words were filled with undisguised contempt.
"Shut up!" Dai Huabin, whose sore spot had been touched, became even more furious. He roared fiercely, "I'm teaching my fiancée a lesson. What does it have to do with you, an outsider? Get out of here too."
Cui Yajie looked at his weak appearance, sneered, and was too lazy to argue with him anymore.
She walked to Zhu Lu, bent down and helped the still dazed Zhu Lu up, then took out her handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of Zhu Lu's mouth.
"Come on, Zhu Lu, let's ignore this mad dog that only bites people."
Cui Yajie pulled Zhu Lu forcefully, turned around and walked out the door.
As she walked, she said to Zhu Lu angrily: "I told you a long time ago that kind of man is not worth your attention!
Also, didn’t Yuhao tell you that if you have any problems that you can’t solve, just go to him and he will definitely help you…”
As he listened to the footsteps of Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie getting farther and farther away, and the words that came clearly into his ears, the look in Dai Huabin's eyes became more and more gloomy and resentful.
"Huo Yuhao..."
……
On the shores of Poseidon Lake, wisps of smoke rose again after a long absence.
Wu Feng was holding back her energy and grilling vigorously with her dragon fire.
The "tears" wet the grill, and it was bound to make skewers that tasted better than those made by Huo Yuhao.
On the grass not far away, Huo Yuhao and Zhu Lu were sitting together at a small square table.
Zhu Lu lowered her head and kept stuffing barbecue into her mouth to hide her inner nervousness.
When Cui Yajie pulled her out of the infirmary before, she didn't know if she was really bewitched, but she was moved by Cui Yajie's few words and actually followed her to the place where Huo Yuhao and the others were celebrating.
But when she really came here and faced the gentle young man, Zhu Lu didn't know what to say.
Zhu Lu also understood the meaning of what Dai Huabin had said before. The person in front of her was actually the illegitimate son of the Duke of White Tiger.
Huo Yuhao looked at the delicate and beautiful black-haired girl with heterochromia in front of him, and noticed that the redness and swelling on her right cheek had not completely subsided, and his brows furrowed slightly.
If he hadn't gone too far on the field, he would have just wanted to see what the sudden martial soul fusion technique was all about.
If it were done in other ways, perhaps she would not have been slapped by Dai Huabin.
Speaking of which, the degree of compatibility between his and Zhu Lu's martial soul fusion is not too high, probably only close to 70%.
"Zhu Lu, does your face still hurt?"
Zhu Lu, who suddenly heard Huo Yuhao's caring words, trembled violently as if she was frightened.
Before he could swallow the barbecue in his mouth, he choked and started coughing violently.
Huo Yuhao also patted her back and handed her a glass of juice.
"Eat slowly, I won't eat you."
There was a hint of helplessness in his words.
Zhu Lu held the glass in both hands and drank the sweet juice in small sips.
The juice was sweet, but she was still filled with fear and anxiety.
After all, I am engaged to Dai Huabin, so how can I be so close to another man?
In particular, he is the illegitimate son of Duke White Tiger.
Moreover, my talent is not that good.
He couldn't even keep up with Dai Huabin's cultivation pace, let alone Huo Yuhao, who was even more talented than Dai Huabin.
After all, he and I are just two parallel lines that will never intersect.
Thinking of this, Zhu Lu's special eyes of different colors also revealed sadness.
Suddenly, Zhu Lu felt a cool touch on her cheek, and there was a little warmth in the coldness.
Huo Yuhao actually put his hand on his face?
"do not move."
There was a certain unquestionable tone in Huo Yuhao's words.
Zhu Lu's subconscious attempt to break free also stopped.
A cool white air flowed out from the contact between the palm and the cheek.
"This will help the swelling go down faster," Huo Yuhao explained softly, "I'm sorry for what happened on the field today."
According to his previous plan, he just wanted to open a hole in Dai Huabin's spiritual sea in the game and then destroy his talent.
Deposing Dai Huabin was just a personal grudge.
But for Zhu Lu, he once again...
Zhu Lu said in a low voice, a little apprehensively: "It's okay, I don't blame you. After all, it was just a competition..."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Zhu Lu felt annoyed again. Why was her mouth so stupid?
If it were Cui Yajie, she would have climbed up the ladder and built a closer relationship with him long ago.
"After the competition, my teacher came to me and told me that if I wanted, she could go to the Zhu family on my behalf and ask you to dissolve your marriage with Dai Huabin."
When Zhu Lu heard Huo Yuhao's words, her pupils suddenly shrank.
Break off the engagement?
Can I escape from the arrogant and conceited Dai Huabin?
As long as I nod and agree now, I can...
Even if his talent was not good, he could still accompany Huo Yuhao for a few years.
Hurry up and agree, Zhu Lu!
But would the Zhu family let him go? Or rather, would the Duchess let him go?
Dai Huabin already knows Huo Yuhao’s true identity, so the Duchess must know it too.
Even though his parents sacrificed themselves for the Zhu family in their early years, he was still raised by the Zhu family. How could they let him leave so easily?
Even if it is possible, Huo Yuhao’s teacher will probably have to pay a considerable price, right?
After all, Huo Yuhao and I were not destined to be together...
Zhu Lu finally revealed a bitter smile, "Huo Yuhao, thank you, but I can't..."
Before she could finish her words, Huo Yuhao interrupted her, "But I rejected my teacher. I want to give you another choice, a path that doesn't rely on anyone, and isn't used as a tool for spirit fusion techniques."
Zhu Lu had tears in her eyes when she heard the first half of Huo Yuhao's sentence, but when she heard the second half, she was stunned and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
If one wants to run the Spirit Pagoda independently from Shrek Academy, he will need his own team, and Zhu Lu is one of the candidates Huo Yuhao is considering.
That's why he wanted to provide Zhu Lu with another way.
As for solving Zhu Lu's talent problem, it was not a difficult task for him who possessed many magical herbs in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
"You don't have to agree to me so quickly." Huo Yuhao looked at the agitated girl in front of him and said soothingly, "If you choose to take another path, the difficulties you'll encounter in cultivation will be no less, so you should consider it carefully."
Even if I use magic herbs to solve her talent problem in the future, she still has to rely on herself to practice.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help her much in this regard.
"Yeah." Zhu Lu nodded, and secretly glanced at Huo Yuhao a few times. The uneasiness in her heart seemed to disappear.
Wu Feng, who was closest to Huo Yuhao and Zhu Lu and was struggling with the skewers, naturally heard the conversation between the two clearly.
Wu Feng curled his lips.
At first she really thought that Huo Yuhao had no interest in Zhu Lu, but it turned out that he was just playing a long game to catch a big fish.
Look at Zhu Lu, she seems to be completely bewildered by Huo Yuhao. They have only met a few times, right?
Huo Yuhao, you guy, you still say you are not a succubus?
Tian Meng in the sea of spirituality was also spinning in panic at this moment.
She suddenly realized that Yuhao seemed to have become much more proactive recently, especially in matters between men and women.
She said uneasily, "Bingbing, don't you think it's the spiritual essence I fused with Yuhao last time that caused this?"
Although Tianmeng thinks that he is a sleepy person, he is definitely not a sleepyhead.
Bingdi felt annoyed when he saw Tianmeng walking in circles. He tied Tianmeng up with his scorpion tail and lifted her up, swinging her back and forth a few times.
"Be quiet."
But there was indeed a hint of thought in her golden eyes.
Compared to the easier to satisfy desires for sleep and food, it seems reasonable for Huo Yuhao to like bitterness in order to balance the three major desires.
So shouldn't I too?
Like Bingdi, Ning Tian, who was sitting alone at a wooden table, was also lost in thought.
Ning Tian naturally knew what it meant for Huo Yuhao and Zhu Lu to possess the martial soul fusion skill.
Generally speaking, the martial soul fusion technique can only be possessed by very close brothers and sisters or lovers with similar auras.
Looking at the vaguely intimate atmosphere between Huo Yuhao and Zhu Lu, Ning Tian clenched his fists slightly, but soon relaxed them.
Ning was born with a very smart mind, and naturally understood that being too strong in relationships would only annoy people.
Smart girls sometimes also have to learn to pretend to be confused and make appropriate concessions.
What's more, in her opinion, for someone with Huo Yuhao's personality, her concession would only make him feel guilty, and perhaps this would gain him more attention and affection.
At the same time, she couldn't give up Huo Yuhao.
