A Date
The following days were just an ordinary routine for Xu Xingyu, with his daily schedule meticulously planned.
First, I woke up Wang Dong'er and dragged her to complete the day's training plan. After that, it was time for meals, classes, and then until class ended.
After the day's classes ended, he and Xu Yanxue went to the Soul Tool Department for a class of about an hour, and also conducted their own Spirit Gathering experiments in the laboratory there.
Finally, I went back to the dorm and chatted with Wang Dong'er about what we did that day. After listening to her complain about how unreasonable their homeroom teacher was, I prepared for the new day.
As for weekends off, they were basically either cultivating or accompanying Wang Dong'er and the others shopping or doing manual labor.
This daily routine continued for a long time, until one day Jiang Nannan suddenly approached Xu Xingyu.
She asked Xu Xingyu when he would have time to carry out the task they had agreed on earlier.
At first, Jiang Nannan was a little confused about what Xu Xingyu had made a promise to her, but he quickly remembered that he seemed to have promised Xu Sanshi to take her on a date when Bei Bei had a competition.
For this, Xu Xingyu unusually felt ashamed of himself, as he actually needed the woman to remind him of the agreement they had made earlier.
After calming herself down, Xu Xingyu agreed to accompany him to fulfill his promise this weekend.
Jiang Nannan smiled with satisfaction and arranged to meet Xu Xingyu at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion of the Shrek Academy that evening.
A week passed quickly, and on the day of their date Xu Xingyu, for the first time in a long time, took out her storage ring to choose an outfit suitable for the date.
Finally, he chose a blue-purple shirt and black trousers, and waited for Jiang Nannan's arrival at the entrance of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
At this moment, he gave off a handsome and dashing vibe. Although his clothes weren't flashy, he was the most eye-catching person in the eyes of the surrounding crowd.
While Xu Xingyu was waiting, many girls tried to find out about Xu Xingyu identity and befriend her, but Xu Xingyu politely declined them all.
Xu Xingyu looked at the large Treasure Gathering Pavilion sign and began to recall the information she had previously gathered about the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
The so-called Treasure Gathering Pavilion is a large shopping mall composed of various merchants who are friendly with the Shrek Academy.
There, Shrek students can buy rare and precious treasures, Soul Tool, Soul Bone, and other cultivation equipment suitable for their training.
However, because the items inside are all very rare resources, they are quite expensive, and few people can afford them.
Therefore, Shrek Academy offers credit for outstanding students.
This credit is actually an investment made by the college in relation to students; it can also be seen as something similar to a scholarship provided by the college.
First, each student will have a certain credit limit set according to their talents, and each year a student can receive an item that is less than or equal to their credit limit.
From a certain perspective, this is a free deal, a completely unprofitable business. However, it's important to note that free things are often the most expensive.
This also applies to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Shrek Academy did this because it was a favor, and they would have to repay it when the academy needed it in the future.
Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay, so theoretically, if you use Shrek's credit to buy things from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, it's equivalent to indirectly selling yourself to the Academy until your debt of gratitude is completely repaid.
Usually, only core disciples who are in their second year or above in the Outer Court are invited to visit the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and search for items suitable for them.
The reason for this is that when the students are all first-year students, the college teachers are still calculating the specific potential of each first-year student.
Therefore, first-year students like Xu Xingyu usually don't even qualify to enter the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Fortunately, Xu Xingyu is not an ordinary student; he is the young master of the Spirit Contract Pagoda.
As the young master of the Spirit Contract Pagoda, he already possessed a vast amount of personal funds, so he did not need the academy's credit service and could pay for everything himself.
Moreover, even if Xu Xingyu could use the credit offered by Shrek, he had no interest in using it.
In his view, the treasures of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion were not worth using his personal connections to offset, since his personal connections were not so cheap.
Just then, a gasp rang out, and everyone's eyes were focused on one spot.
A blonde girl gradually walked towards Xu Xingyu, her figure becoming visible under the moonlight.
That person was Jiang Nannan!
At this moment, Jiang Nannan was wearing a simple purple dress. Judging from her makeup, she had dressed up specially for this date and used cosmetics that she usually wouldn't use.
Although the purple dress she wore was a very simple style, for some reason it did not conceal the girl's charm. On the contrary, it showcased Jiang Nannan's graceful figure to the maximum extent without revealing herself.
This shows that Jiang Nannan made thorough preparations for this date, and it also shows how much she valued it.
Xu Xingyu, like everyone else around her, was stunned by Jiang Nannan's appearance.
Upon seeing Xu Xingyu, Jiang Nannan's smile slowly appeared, and she walked up to him.
Only when Jiang Nannan stood completely in front of Xu Xingyu did he notice and realize the beauty of the girl before him for the first time.
Perhaps Jiang Nannan doesn't possess the stunning beauty of Gu Yuena, the playful charm of Wang Dong'er, or the icy elegance of Xu Yanxue.
However, Jiang Nannan also possessed her own unique beauty. She was like a fairy under the moonlight, with a face as beautiful as jade and a halo around her like a new moon.
At this moment, Jiang Nannan spoke up, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, right? My makeup took some time."
Coming to her Xu Xingyu quickly replied, "It's nothing, I just arrived too. By the way, you look beautiful this time, I almost didn't recognize you."
"Oh, really?" Jiang Nannan said with some uncertainty, "This is the first time I've dressed up like this, so I'm not really confident."
Xu Xingyu simply smiled and said, "Relax, trust me. Your beauty is now dazzling. Don't doubt yourself; have confidence in yourself."
"Um"
Seeing Jiang Nannan blushing from the strange looks around them, Xu Xingyu bowed like a gentleman and extended his right hand, saying, "Then, beautiful lady, are you willing to keep our agreement tonight?"
Seeing this, Jiang Nannan extended her hand and said, "I do."
After saying Xu Xingyu took Jiang Nannan's hand and said, "Then let's begin this wonderful night!"
After saying this, the two ignored the astonished looks around them and walked hand in hand into the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
