The Thriving Treasure Gathering Pavilion

The Treasure Appraisal Fair is a large-scale event held annually at the Shrek Academy's Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

On this day, every core disciple of Shrek, except for the first-year students, will receive an invitation from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to come to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

On this day, Shrek merchants will display their most treasured items one by one in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Part of it was to show the students the low standards of Shrek Academy, and another part was to entice them to use the credit the academy gave them to buy goods, thus making them indirectly indebted to the academy.

Today happens to be the day that Treasure Gathering Pavilion is holding its Treasure Appraisal Fair.

At this moment, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion was packed with people, with many students of all ages looking for items suitable for their cultivation.

Some of these academies even came specifically from the Inner Court of Sea God Lake just to attend this Treasure Appraisal Fair.

After all, this Treasure Appraisal Fair is not only hosted by the merchants in Shrek City, but also by merchants from the three major countries.

This demonstrates just how much influence and resources Shrek Academy has gained from its reputation as the world's number one academy for thousands of years.

However, two people in this group were completely uninterested in the cultivation resources offered at the Treasure Appraisal Fair.

The two were Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan, who had come for their date.

The two were not in the bustling resource trading area at this time, but were instead strolling around the jewelry area of Treasure Appraisal Fair.

It would be a lie to say they didn't take a look at the resource trading area to see what kind of cultivation resources were available.

However, since both of them were high-ranking members of the Spirit Contract Pagoda, their horizons broadened and became very broad as well.

On the contrary, they looked down on the things offered by the Treasure Appraisal Fair.

However, there's no way around it; the Soul Bone offered at the Treasure Appraisal Fair are inferior to those collected by the Spirit Contract Pagoda, the Soul Tool offered are inferior to those manufactured by the Spirit Contract Pagoda, and the rare and precious treasures offered are also inferior to those of the Spirit Contract Pagoda.

Therefore, after looking around and not finding anything of value, the two left the resource trading area.

At most, Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan bought a few Soul Tool design blueprints that the Spirit Contract Pagoda lacked, some medicinal herbs, and a Whale Rubber that appeared to be a thousand years old but was actually ten thousand years old.

Therefore, to some extent, it can be said that this Treasure Appraisal Fair trip was simply a sightseeing trip for Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan.

Fortunately, this was just a date, so buying any cultivation resources was secondary.

Ultimately, what matters is the dating experience itself, not the shopping spree.

As for why we came to the jewelry section? It's because girls all love to look beautiful.

Even a girl like Jiang Nannan, who doesn't dress up unless it's a formal occasion, is no exception.

Although Jiang Nannan became Xu Xingyu's personal secretary after Spirit Contract Pagoda, and helped him reorganize the Spirit Contract Pagoda's wealth department.

But don't forget that Jiang Nannan is a rare Soul Master from a commoner background.

Jiang Nannan, Soul Master from a commoner background, came from an extremely poor family.

This leads to a tendency to try to save money whenever possible; in other words, people are always hesitant to spend money and are always willing to haggle.

Although her family's financial situation has improved significantly in recent years since Spirit Contract Pagoda, transforming them from a poor and destitute family to a middle-class one, Jiang Nannan still adheres to her principles in this regard.

She wouldn't be stingy with cultivation resources or medicine for her mother's treatment.

This also makes Jiang Nannan different from other girls her age; she rarely buys luxury perfumes, cosmetics, decorations, and the like.

Even this time, Jiang Nannan only bought these things because she was going on a special date with Xu Xingyu, to dress herself up.

Whenever the four of them went shopping, Xu Xingyu would notice that Jiang Nannan would look at the decorations that Wang Dong'er and Xu Yanxue bought with an envious gaze.

Although the two would recommend a few items that suited Jiang Nannan each time, Jiang Nannan would politely decline after seeing the corresponding prices.

Xu Xingyu wanted to pay for her purchase, but at that time he was usually the one leading the group of them to buy the items.

So he didn't have much free time to take out his own wallet and buy her some accessories.

Of course, another reason is that every time she goes shopping, Wang Dong'er and Xu Yanxue take her wallet, saying it's to prevent Xu Xingyu from misusing her allowance.

However, Xu Xingyu wanted to complain about this, "So, you guys using my money to buy so many things doesn't count as extravagance?"

However, every time Xu Xingyu tried to argue back, the two men would give her extremely cold looks, leaving Xu Xingyu powerless to resist.

In the end, she could only let the two of them squander their money. After all, although they bought a lot of things, it was still a drop in the ocean for Xu Xingyu.

It's also very likely that Jiang Nannan unconsciously avoids situations where Xu Xingyu Xu Xingyu to pay for her every time her wallet is stolen by the two men.

Xu Xingyu could only think through her tears, "What a sensible and good girl!"

That's why Xu Xingyu suddenly wanted to buy the other person a piece of jewelry that could showcase her beauty.

After all, it would be such a waste if a pretty girl didn't dress herself up a little!

With these thoughts in mind, the two arrived at the decoration area of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and began to look at the goods for sale inside.

During this process, Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan encounter Dugu Yanran, who is pulling on Xu Sanshi's ear.

Dugu Yanran said helplessly, "My dear Sanshi! You can be silly, but there's a limit! Look at all the trouble you've caused others!"

Xu Sanshi could only respond with a pained expression, "Wife, I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have been so careless! Can you let go of me now? This really hurts!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yanran did not release Xu Sanshi's ear; instead, she twisted it even more forcefully, saying, "I can't hear what you said."

All Xu Sanshi could do was offer sweet words to appease the other party and hope that she would let go of him as soon as possible.

It turns out that Dugu Yanran was feeling down because of what happened in the last Soul Fighting competition. What was originally a sure win was turned around by the intervention of an outsider.

Even after exposing the other team's cheating, the academy was merely given a perfunctory result of a draw.

Dugu Yanran was naturally outraged by this biased behavior, but unfortunately, this was someone else's territory.

How they handle it is their business; after all, they are the ones who set the rules, so whatever they say goes.

However, this inevitably caused Dugu Yanran feel a slight sense of disappointment towards the Shrek Academy, the number one academy in the world.

Xu Sanshi, noticing his girlfriend's bad mood, took advantage of the Treasure Appraisal Fair event to have a long-awaited date with Dugu Yanran, hoping to relax a bit.

However, during this process, Xu Sanshi started acting silly and goofy just to make his girlfriend, Hong, happy.

At first, thankfully, what Xu Sanshi did wasn't too outrageous, and it was quite funny.

However, they almost broke someone's merchandise, which led to a reprimand for both of them, resulting in the scene that unfolded before Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan.

Seeing the two still flirting, Xu Xingyu and Jiang Nannan decided not to disturb each other's business and to continue their date.

After wandering around for a while, neither Xu Xingyu nor Jiang Nannan found anything they liked, which made them somewhat disappointed, so they prepared to leave Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

But just a second before leaving Xu Xingyu found what he was looking for: an ice-blue headband.
