Chapter 10 Independent Women

The auction process was meaningless. To Xu Jiujiu, a princess, even if this was the only piece left in the world, she had enough money to buy it.

It's just that I paid a little more money.

“Here, take it.” Xu Jiujiu placed the spiritual eye mask in Huo Yuhao’s hand with a smile in his eyes.

"Wear it on your eyes every night before going to bed, and the effect will gradually show up over time."

"And I've read in the royal ancient books that there was a soul master whose martial soul was also his eyes. After wearing this thing, his martial soul awakened for the second time."

"Of course, I don't know if it's true or not. After all, it's been so long, and many things have lost their original appearance."

"Thank you." Huo Yuhao was a little touched. He didn't expect that Xu Jiujiu not only prepared a gift for him, but also carefully selected it.

It always makes people feel touched when someone cares about you.

"Is the auction over?" At this time, the auctioneer's shouting was no longer heard in the auction hall, but instead there was a noisy sound.

"No, this is the intermission." Xu Jiujiu took a look and said, "If the auction lasts too long, the auction house will give everyone a break to relax."

“Oh.” Huo Yuhao was very curious about this. After all, he had never seen it before, and there was no place in the book that wrote about such small details.

"I'm going out for a while." Huo Yuhao said with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Xu Jiujiu was worried that Huo Yuhao was not familiar with this place, so he asked with concern.

Huo Yuhao waved his hands with a frown on his face and said, "It's better for me to go alone for this kind of thing." After saying that, he quickly left the box.

It took him a while to react.

"This guy, he just said he was going to the toilet, but he's so embarrassed, huh."

In order to conceal his identity, Xu Jiujiu brought Huo Yuhao to an ordinary box this time. There was a long passage outside the box.

When Huo Yuhao turned a corner, he heard a familiar and cold male voice coming from the other side of the corner.

"I can buy this kind of thing myself, I don't need you to give it to me."

"Keke, I bought this with my pocket money that I saved up for a long time, not with my family's money. Brother Huabin, just accept it, okay?"

Faced with the man's indifference, the little girl just continued to plead pitifully.

However, Huo Yuhao, who was eavesdropping on the other side, noticed the key words.

Huabin? Dai Huabin!

The other voice should be Zhu Lu.

Zhu Lu has always liked Dai Huabin, but at the beginning, Dai Huabin did not like Zhu Lu. It was not until he met Qiankun Wenqinggu, a man with a brain but a hole in his head, that Dai Huabin realized that the person he really liked was Zhu Lu.

Since Zhu Lu is the one you truly love, how can I ease the pain in my heart if I don't let you lose her?

Huo Yuhao stood silently in the shadows, waiting for the sound to slowly change.

The man's voice was still cold, but the girl's voice gradually became tearful, until the boy said, "That's enough, are you annoying?" and disappeared completely.

With a crisp sound of the ground falling, the girl's crying suddenly broke out with a "wow".

Huo Yuhao took the opportunity to walk over.

If you don't pry something like the corner of the wall, you'll never know if it will loosen.

“Here, this is for you. Wipe it off so that no one sees you. After all, you are a lady from a famous family in the empire. You can’t be so shameless.” Huo Yuhao squatted down gently and handed a clean handkerchief to Zhu Lu.

It was different from what Huo Yuhao had imagined. In Huo Yuhao's impression, the people of the Nether Spirit Cat Family were either wearing black leather jackets or had a sinister look on their faces.

Zhu Lu, who was only ten years old, not only did not have that kind of sinister expression on her face, but also did not dress like that. She looked like a typical normal noble girl, and a noble girl who was crying.

"Who are you?" Zhu Lu did not take the handkerchief from Huo Yuhao, but walked away from him with a vigilant look on her face. Huo Yuhao smiled nonchalantly and said, "I should be your classmate, and I will also go to Shrek."

There was a hint of doubt in Zhu Lu's eyes, as if to say, are you worthy of Shrek?

Huo Yuhao shrugged and continued, "You don't believe it? I have already received a letter of recommendation from the main city. If everything goes well, we may be students in the same class."

It is not easy to go to Shrek to go to school. In addition to having the required talent, you also need a letter of recommendation from the main city level.

It can be said that the last one alone is enough to block many soul masters of civilian origin.

After all, if a child of a powerful family goes to Shrek to study, he will still be a member of the empire after graduation; but if a child of a commoner goes to Shrek, he may not come back.

So an interesting thing arises from this: most of the truly outstanding students in those academies that are known as royal academies are of commoner origin.

This means that people who can get letters of recommendation often have a certain social status.

No one knew how Jiang Nannan got the recommendation letter. She was 100% from a commoner family, and Huo Yuhao remembered that the reward Xu Sanshi gave her should not have included a recommendation letter.

Hearing Huo Yuhao say this, Zhu Lu relaxed her guard a little. Facing Huo Yuhao's outstretched hand, Zhu Lu hesitated for a moment and slowly took the handkerchief.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao showed a warm smile on his face.

Seeing Huo Yuhao like this, Zhu Lu’s vigilance gradually disappeared. He is so handsome, so he can’t be a bad guy, right?

All we can say is that Zhu Lu was just a child at that time, and her mind was far from mature.

“Why are you crying? In my opinion, a woman like you should always be proud, right?” Huo Yuhao said, pretending not to care about the chit-chat.

Hearing this question, Zhu Lu almost couldn't hold back the tears that had just stopped flowing out.

"I'm not crying. Who am I? I'm the noble lady of the Nether Spirit Cat family. I'm the best noble lady in the entire continent."

“Yes, you are a noble lady from the Nether Spirit Cat family, but…” Huo Yuhao looked at Zhu Lu with a firm gaze and said, “You are also Zhu Lu!”

"As a noble lady of the Nether Spirit Cat family, you have been loved by the family since birth and are regarded as a noble lady. However, the Nether Spirit Cat is a vassal of the Evil Eyed White Tiger. It is destined that your fate can only be tied to someone who does not love you."

"If it was an ordinary marriage between nobles, it would be fine, but you are different. Once you don't like him, you won't be able to use the martial soul fusion technique, and Dai Huabin, as a man, will not be punished."

"But you will be blamed by others."

"You originally thought you were very lucky because you met someone you liked."

“But now, you should have seen it clearly,” Huo Yuhao pointed in the direction of the man who was walking away with the painting cake and said seriously, “There is no trace of you in his eyes.”

"Then what should I do?" Zhu Lu asked the doubts in her heart unconsciously.

"It's very simple," Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers and said confidently, "You should be an independent woman."

"Independent woman?"

"That's right, an independent woman." Huo Yuhao moved closer to Zhu Lu, helped her up, and said confidently, "Are you willing to spend your whole life with a man who doesn't like you?"

"Remember, you are not only a noble lady of the Nether Spirit Cat Family, you are also Zhu Lu. You have your own life to live. The future is long. People should first learn how to love themselves."

After a brainwashing session, Zhu Lu's eyes changed drastically. Although she always felt that what Huo Yuhao said was a little wrong, Zhu Lu still kept Huo Yuhao's words in mind.

Then he gave Huo Yuhao a big hug, turned around and left happily.

Huo Yuhao looked at her cheerful back, a smile flashing in his eyes.

My dear brother, since you don’t like Zhu Lu, then as your younger brother I will help you take her away.

After returning to the private room, Xu Jiujiu looked at the smile on Huo Yuhao's face and asked in confusion, "What did you do to make you look so happy?"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said, “Nothing, I just went to help others.”
