[Chapter 28: I will give you best dinner party]
In the early morning, the sun shone brightly, bringing everything to life.
Mu Jin twisted her waist, her expression brimming with smugness as she couldn't suppress the curve of her lips.
"Thump… thump… thump…"
Even the sound of her high heels seemed cheerful and lively, reflecting the unrest in her heart.
Zhou Yi's status as a senior teacher had been revoked, and she would never be able to set foot in the Martial Soul Department again!
What wonderful news!
With a buoyant mood, Mu Jin walked into the classroom but was slightly taken aback.
"What's going on here?"
Mu Jin was puzzled, but she didn't disturb Hua Huo and Huo Yuhao, who were busy organizing their classmates.
"Classmates, to celebrate our reunion in Class Nine, my wife, your dear class monitor, has decided to spend 10,000 gold soul coins to treat everyone to dinner!"
Huo Yuhao stood on the podium, addressing the students with a smile.
Ten thousand gold soul coins was no small sum.
For some minor nobles, it was a significant amount.
Of course, to Ning Tian, the young master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, ten thousand gold soul coins were nothing!
Hearing Huo Yuhao's announcement, most of the students' faces lit up with delight.
They had just met, and yet the monitor and deputy monitor were willing to spend 10,000 gold soul coins to treat everyone to dinner.
How generous!
Perhaps the monitor and deputy monitor were doing this to impress those in higher positions, but the gold soul coins were being spent on them nonetheless.
"Class monitor, the deputy class monitor is amazing!"
Ning Tian remained silent, rummaging through her soul tool.
After a moment, she pulled out two savings cards, each worth 10,000 gold soul coins.
She kept one and handed the other to Wu Feng.
Taking the gold soul coin savings card, Wu Feng was momentarily stunned, staring at Ning Tian in confusion.
"Since it's a dinner party, we should contribute as well," Ning Tian explained.
Upon hearing this, Wu Feng understood.
It wasn't that Ning Tian was unwilling to contribute more, but Huo Yuhao and Hua Huo had only offered 10,000 gold soul coins.
Contributing more might seem like they were trying to outshine them, which could come off as disrespectful.
These two were genius soul masters, and Ning Tian had no intention of offending them lightly.
"Deputy monitor, Young... Ning Tian and I will each contribute 10,000 gold soul coins. Please make this dinner an even better one!" Wu Feng declared.
After speaking, she took another savings card from Ning Tian, walked to the podium, and handed it to Huo Yuhao.
Though it was said that each would contribute 10,000 gold soul coins, in reality, Ning Tian had paid 20,000.
"Ning Tian, Wu Feng, you're amazing!"
"Incredible!"
With someone leading the way, the students didn't hold back, each contributing some gold soul coins to the dinner fund.
After all, except for a few exceptions, no poor student could afford to study at Shrek Academy!
In no time, the podium was piled with two to three hundred thousand gold soul coins!
Huo Yuhao's eye twitched slightly.
He had intended to tease his classmates, but he hadn't expected such overwhelming support…
This was Shrek Academy, after all.
A freshman class of just over a hundred students had raised two to three hundred thousand gold soul coins.
It was astonishing.
"With so many gold soul coins, I'm tempted to run away with my wife Hua Huo!" Huo Yuhao joked as he stored the gold soul coins in his soul tool.
"Deputy monitor, you can't run away! If you do, the party will be ruined!"
"Exactly!"
What concerned everyone wasn't Huo Yuhao running off with the money, but the possibility of the party being ruined.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a party you'll never forget!" Huo Yuhao raised the corner of his mouth, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
The classmates chuckled, thinking Huo Yuhao was just joking...
"Yuhao, I'd love to contribute to your party, but my salary is too low to be as generous as you. Here are five thousand gold soul coins. Consider it the teacher's joining fee!" Mu Jin placed a savings card in front of Huo Yuhao, her face beaming with a smile.
She was in such high spirits today that she decided to contribute some of her "savings" to make the students happy!
After all, it was because of these students that Zhou Yi had ended up in her current predicament!
"Ahahahaha~"
Mu Jin laughed wildly in her heart, though she forced herself to suppress the upward curve of her lips.
Little did she know, her intuition was spot on!
Huo Yuhao glanced at Mu Jin, his eyes rolling thoughtfully.
Mu Jin's strength was at the Soul Emperor level, and while Ma Xiaotao was also a Soul Emperor, Mu Jin stood no chance against her.
The teachers of Shrek's outer courtyard, especially those teaching first-year students, might hold their own against ordinary inner courtyard students.
But Ma Xiaotao was no ordinary inner courtyard student, she was the captain of this generation's Shrek Seven Devils!
Someone like Mu Jin simply couldn't compare.
With this in mind, Huo Yuhao gladly accepted the savings card.
"Thank you for the contribution, Teacher. Hua Huo and I will make sure this dinner is unforgettable!" Huo Yuhao said, taking Hua Huo's hand.
He then turned back to Mu Jin and added, "Teacher, please go ahead with the class. Hua Huo and I will go shopping first. We'll notify everyone when everything's ready!"
Mu Jin: "???"
Everyone: "???"
Is this guy for real? Skipping class like this!
Mu Jin, in her good mood and recalling Du Weilun's words, didn't stop him.
"Alright, you and the class monitor go ahead! Just remember, if you're holding the party within the academy, make sure to report it to the teaching department in advance," Mu Jin reminded Huo Yuhao.
If they failed to report it and something went wrong, Huo Yuhao and Hua Huo, as the organizers, would likely face punishment.
But if they reported it in advance, any issues arising from external or internal factors wouldn't fall on their shoulders, it would be the academy's responsibility.
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up at her words. Teacher Mu Jin truly lived up to her reputation!
A single sentence could wake a dreamer!
Reporting in advance was a must!
After assessing his condition, Huo Yuhao estimated that the "outbreak" would likely happen in about three days.
With that in mind, he made a decision.
With his current strength, it would be easy to keep tabs on Ma Xiaotao's condition.
"If it really doesn't work out, we still have Hua Huo, right? It's not impossible to disguise as Ma Xiaotao..." Huo Yuhao mused to himself.
The classmates watched as Huo Yuhao and Hua Huo left, their eyes filled with envy.
It had to be these two. They skipped practical training yesterday and now they're skipping class today.
They just do whatever they want.
Meanwhile, the rest of them had to stay in this cold, boring classroom.
Outside the door, Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then decided to report to the teaching department first.
Originally, he had planned to invite more people, but the fundraising efforts of his classmates and teachers had thrown a wrench in his plans.
If students from other classes didn't contribute and were still invited, it would create an awkward atmosphere, even if his own classmates didn't say anything.
"My dear wife, are you coming to the teaching department with me, or are you waiting for me in Shrek City?" Huo Yuhao turned his head and looked at Hua Huo, a playful smile on his face.
