Zhu Lu, who was standing to the side, was about to say something when she saw Huo Yuhao's attitude, but Dai Huabin stopped her with a gesture.

"What kind of skill is Huo Yuhao, just talking big! Tomorrow morning is the final of the Freshman Competition, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"Oh! Tell me, what kind of bet is it?"

Dai Huabin's words successfully piqued Huo Yuhao's interest.

Dai Huabin stared intently at Huo Yuhao with his eyes, which were characteristic of the White Tiger Family.

"Tomorrow Freshman Competition, where we'll see who's stronger. If you lose, you'll have to kneel down and kowtow in front of all the freshmen, admitting you're inferior to me, and apologize for insulting my White Tiger Duke's Mansion few days ago."

Dai Huabin had been thoroughly tormented by Snow Empress a few days ago. Although Snow Empress didn't physically abuse him, while waiting for the ransom Snow Empress intentionally or unintentionally released Ultimate Ice into the room where he was being held, nearly freezing him to death there.

"Oh, what if you lose?"

"Me? I can't possibly lose."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Dai Huabin's words, Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"You can't produce a betting agreement, but that shows a lack of sincerity, Young Master Dai Huabin!"

"So what do you mean?"

"If I win, I'll make you kneel down and admit that Dai Huabin of your White Tiger Duke's Mansion is inferior to me."

Dai Huabin was furious upon hearing Huo Yuhao's conditions.

"You! You are insulting the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!"

To everyone's surprise, Huo Yuhao readily admitted it.

"I just want to humiliate your White Tiger Duke's Mansion. You've already made those demands. What? Can't I make them too?"

Huo Yuhao's words left Dai Huabin speechless.

"Fine, I agree to your request. We'll see about tomorrow."

After a moment's hesitation, Dai Huabin gritted his teeth and agreed to Huo Yuhao's conditions.

Watching Dai Huabin and the others leave, Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his hands clenched tightly.

"Class monitor/ Yuhao! Are you alright?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er, who were standing to the side, both showed concern.

Reminded by the two, Huo Yuhao let out a long breath and his tense body gradually relaxed.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little excited about getting some interest back from Dai Huabin tomorrow."

It's not time to kill Dai Huabin yet. He wants Dai Hao to watch his most beloved son be killed by him, so that he can also taste the bitterness of losing a loved one.

"Squad leader, Dong'er and I will help you tomorrow. We'll smash that Dai Huabin to pieces."

Xiao Xiao clenched her small fists indignantly, but because of her petite figure, even when she made a fierce expression, she only appeared exceptionally cute to others.

"Xiao Xiao is right! Yuhao, tomorrow we'll teach that annoying Dai Huabin a lesson. I get annoyed just seeing his arrogant and conceited attitude."

Wang Dong'er, who was standing next to Huo Yuhao, also said that she now finally understood why Huo Yuhao had been so disgusted with her attitude in the dormitory before.

It wasn't until she saw her younger self from three months ago in Dai Huabin that she realized how annoying she had been.

Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart as he watched the two men's selfless acts.

"Thank you both very much, but tomorrow, you two just need to take care of Cui Yajie for me. After that, you can step down."

Why?

Wang Dong'er asked, somewhat puzzled.

Huo Yuhao simply smiled mysteriously at Wang Dong'er's question.

"Because I've prepared a big gift for Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu tomorrow! I'm afraid it might hurt you."

"A grand gift?"

Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, Huo Yuhao waved for the two to come closer.

The two followed Huo Yuhao's lead and leaned their ears closer.

Gradually, their gazes shifted from doubt to surprise, and then from surprise to pity.

"So you actually had a backup plan back when school started!"

Upon hearing about the "grand gift" Huo Yuhao had prepared for Dai Huabin, Wang Dong'er felt a chill run down her spine.

She almost received the same treatment as Dai Huabin.

"Alright, you guys go back now! We won't be going out today."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao turned and headed towards his residence in the Inner Court.

"Sigh! Dong'er, what exactly happened between you and the class monitor when school started?"

Watching Huo Yuhao until his figure disappeared into the distance, Xiao Xiao could no longer suppress her curiosity. She nudged Wang Dong'er with her elbow and asked with a hint of gossip.

Over the past three months, Wang Dong'er has brought up the start of school with Huo Yuhao several times. This has made Xiao Xiao feel like she's been constantly tickled by a kitten.

When Xiao Xiao brought up the issue again, Wang Dong'er blushed slightly.

Finally, under Xiao Xiao 'Xiao Xiao expectant gaze, he began to tell her about what happened before the start of the school year.

After hearing Wang Dong'er's story, Xiao Xiao's mouth gaped open. At the same time, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"This is almost identical to the picture books I read before, which came from the Sun Moon Empire. A rich young lady, out of curiosity, disguises herself as a boy and enters an academy that only accepts boys, and inevitably falls in love with a classmate."

Upon hearing Xiao Xiao's words Wang Dong'er subconsciously retorted:

"I wasn't curious at all. I have no idea what my Eldest Father were thinking! They made me disguise myself as a Second Father to enroll in school. If Yuhao hadn't exposed me, I really would have been sharing a dorm room with him."

After receiving the vast amount of information from Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao suddenly glanced around furtively, and after confirming that no one was around, she cautiously moved closer to Wang Dong'er, grabbed her arm, and shook it while saying:

"Hehehe! Dong'er! You went into the class monitor's dorm before, what was his room like? Is he really in great shape? Does he have abs?"

The little girl shook Wang Dong'er's hand while wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve.

Huo Yuhao Huo Yuhao now famous throughout the Outer Court. Rumor has it that he won over several senior female students from the Inner Court as soon as he entered the academy. He even managed to get along with the senior female students with his handsome face, and even the Flame Maniac Ma Xiaotao was completely subdued by him.

Some people in the Outer Court even said that the reason Huo Yuhao Huo Yuhao make his senior sister obey him was because he was the Wheel-Turning King of the ancient God King Yama, which allowed him to take advantage of her and make her obedient.

This sparked a strong interest in Xiao Xiao, who had seen countless sketchbooks.

"Okay, okay, stop shaking me, you're digging into my arm."

"What kind of outrageous questions are these?" Wang Dong'er blushed deeply at Xiao Xiao's bold questions.

"What are you talking about! How would I know? I only stayed with him this morning. You know what kind of person he is, he practically cultivates 24/7. He was cultivating when I went in, what could I possibly see?"

"Ah!"

Upon hearing Wang Dong'er's answer Xiao Xiao let out a somewhat disappointed "Ah".

"What exactly are you disappointed about?!"

"Thump"

Seeing Xiao Xiao's disappointed look, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but flick Xiao Xiao's forehead with her finger.

"Ouch, it hurts! Dong'er, you've almost broken my head!"

Blown away, Xiao Xiao could only cover her forehead and sob.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er simply said in an annoyed tone:

"It should have been played a long time ago; it would have been better if it had been broken. That way, all those messy thoughts in your head would have flowed out with the water."
