Xiao Xiao finally chose a suitable Soul Bone, a right leg bone of a 90,000-year-old Crystal Mammoth. According to the description, after absorbing it, there is a high probability that she can obtain a control-type domain skill.

However, this Soul Bone is particularly compatible with her Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, and after being absorbed, it will likely possess considerable power.

She planned to absorb this Soul Bone Soul Bone after she absorbed her third Soul Ring, so that she could better integrate it and make it easier for her to break through to level 40.

After registering her information at the registration desk, Xiao Xiao couldn't wait to walk towards the entrance of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. She was already imagining that she would rush to Huo Yuhao the moment she met him.

As the elevator descended to the first floor, Xiao Xiao's eyes seemed to flash with Huo Yuhao's image, and she hurriedly rushed out.

But imagination is always beautiful, while reality is often disappointing and doesn't always match our expectations.

Huo Yuhao did not appear at the entrance of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. Apart from the Soul Master coming and going, there was not even a shadow of Huo Yuhao.

Xiao Xiao's expression instantly dimmed.

Wang Dong'er stood behind him, pursing her lips, a hint of annoyance in her eyes, before turning to enter the treasure area and search through the items one by one.

Xiao Xiao's mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to stop Wang Dong'er, but her feet followed involuntarily. Their hearts were still concerned about Huo Yuhao.

"Are you two junior girls looking for Huo Yuhao? I think I just saw him walk out of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion."

What catches the eye is Bei Bei's gentle smile; he looks like a kind and gentle senior.

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Senior Bei Bei, really? Do you know which direction Yuhao went?"

Xiao Xiao, like a child yearning for treasure, asked questions with great excitement and eagerness.

Bei Bei smiled gently, took a small step back, and reached out to stop him. "Junior Sister Xiao Xiao, don't worry. I know where Huo Yuhao went, but I still need to browse the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, so I'm afraid I can't show you the way."

Wang Dong'er narrowed her eyes slightly and said without any politeness, "Then please tell us, Senior Bei, which direction did Yuhao go?"

Bei Bei struggled and hesitated for a long time, still unable to explain where Huo Yuhao was.

Just as Wang Dong'er was getting anxious, he finally pointed in a direction, "I think he went that way. I guess he went to the station to wait for you, but the nearest bus just left. So I'm not sure if he's still there."

Xiao Xiao sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Senior Bei Bei. You're such a kind person. Senior Xu Sanshi just mentioned you. He's on the third floor now. If you're looking for him, you can go there."

A flash of violence and disgust crossed Bei Bei's eyes, but he hid it well and didn't show it.

Wang Dong'er had a feeling that something was wrong. For some reason, she didn't feel any goodwill towards Bei Bei in front of her, and even felt a sense of disgust from the bottom of her heart.

Bei Bei forced a smile, but upon closer inspection, it seemed somewhat forced.

However, Xiao Xiao's mind was completely focused on Huo Yuhao, so how could she possibly notice Bei Bei's stiff expression?

As for Wang Dong'er, she didn't even glance at Bei Bei, so she wouldn't notice these unusual occurrences.

The two hurriedly ran out of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and, under the dim streetlights, quickly headed towards the station.

Unbeknownst to the two, the moment they stepped out of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Bei Bei's lips.

He didn't go to the third floor either, but instead slowly followed them out, his eyes fixed on the direction the two had run off in, his gaze bloodshot.

Under the dim streetlights, all the shadows were stretched long, as if this was the only pleasure in the long night.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er ran quickly towards the station, which should take about two and a half minutes to reach.

As they ran, there was a manhole cover less than five meters from the station.

Creak!

The manhole cover, which had been tightly closed, was slowly pushed open from bottom to top, and a head emerged from it.

He had many wounds on his body. After spending a long time in the sewer, several of his wounds had become inflamed and suppurated, and he looked to be in excruciating pain.

This man was none other than Dai Huabin, who had fled. Under the cover of night, he walked in the designated direction.

The pain from the wound made him grimace, and large beads of sweat quickly soaked his clothes. Dai Huabin gritted his teeth and ripped off his tattered clothes.

With a swipe of his hand into his storage bag, a brand-new Shrek Academy uniform appeared in his hand, which he put on leisurely.

His current appearance was faintly reflected in the station glass. Dai Huabin examined himself carefully and found that his long blond hair was too conspicuous.

A cracking sound.

Ignoring the pain, Dai Huabin transformed into a sharp blade on a tiger's claw, fiercely severing his beautiful long hair, and then grabbed some black, mud-like stuff from who-knows-where.

He added water to dissolve it and applied it to his messy hair without any hesitation.

From a distance, his hair and build were already very similar to Huo Yuhao's.

After doing all this, he slowly sat down on a bench at the station and waited quietly.

Not long after he finished doing that, Dai Huabin's ears twitched slightly, and two rapid footsteps came running towards them.

" Yuhao! You really were here!"

Xiao Xiao's happy voice echoed through the street. There weren't many people left, the lighting was dim, and the distance was quite far. Dai Huabin had disguised himself and even turned his back to them.

Huo Yuhao turned slightly and waved to them, indicating that he was over there and they should come over quickly.

Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao both subconsciously assumed that the person in the station was Huo Yuhao, and couldn't help but quicken their pace.

Just five meters away from Huo Yuhao at the station, Wang Dong'er grabbed Xiao Xiao and abruptly stopped.

With a twitch of her nose, Wang Dong'er immediately said, "That's not Yuhao! Yuhao doesn't smell like this!"

Xiao Xiao looked puzzled, glancing at ' Huo Yuhao ' in the station, then at Wang Dong'er, and asked, " Wang Dong'er, you're not mistaken, are you? Although something does seem a bit strange..."

beep beep...

A voice sounded simultaneously from the Soul Tool on both of their watches, and as their fingers slid across the screen, a small message popped up.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er's eyes widened instantly, and a cold sweat broke out on their backs!

"I'm done shopping, I'm at the entrance of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion now, where are you guys?"

If the person leaving the message is Huo Yuhao, then who is the other person at the train station?!
