Huo Yuhao's first night at Shrek Academy ten thousand years in the past was anything but peaceful.
Huo Yuhao had only just lain down when he sensed someone moving outside. He dressed and opened the door. Ning Rongrong "just happened" to be outside as well, and when she saw him emerge, she came over to strike up a conversation.
"What a coincidence, Huo Yuhao. Can't sleep either?" Ning Rongrong asked with a smile.
Huo Yuhao did not expose her intentions. Instead, he played along. "It's my first day, so it's only natural to feel a little out of place. I was just going to use the bathroom."
"Oh, I see. By the way, Yuhao, would you be interested in joining our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Let me tell you, our sect offers excellent benefits, and we're one of the Upper Three Sects..." Ning Rongrong launched into another endless introduction.
Huo Yuhao did not refuse outright, but said half-jokingly, "Staying up late is bad for your skin, Ning Rongrong. You really should get some rest early. Besides, I really do need to use the bathroom first." With that, he ran toward the bathroom.
Ning Rongrong was too embarrassed to follow him. Of course, Huo Yuhao did not actually need to use the bathroom; he had merely found an excuse to leave.
While speaking with Ning Rongrong, Huo Yuhao had sensed many pairs of eyes watching him from the shadows. Once he parted ways with her, far fewer of those hidden gazes remained.
Huo Yuhao entered the bathroom to evade those gazes, then activated his Simulation Soul Skill. Once invisible, he quietly slipped out behind the bathroom and observed Ning Rongrong from a distance.
After parting with Huo Yuhao, Ning Rongrong went beneath a large tree and clapped her hands.
