Chapter 159: Getting What One Wishes

This was indeed a headache for Huo Yuhao; he truly could not afford to offend either of these two older sisters. In the Inner Court, there were only a few people who could give Huo Yuhao a headache, and Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen happened to be two of them.

When Huo Yuhao realized the crisis of the situation and was preparing to seek help from Su Yu, he discovered that Su Yu had already distanced himself far away, was being lovey-dovey with Wang Dong'er, and was completely ignoring his pleading eyes and gaze.

Huo Yuhao's heart was already on the verge of collapse at this moment; if he had an internal monologue, his current internal monologue would likely be a wail.

The following segments continued, and with this torment, Huo Yuhao felt every minute and every second like he was going to be swallowed alive by the two, skin and bones included.

Bei Bei said loudly: "After the Fate of Three Lifetimes, we will begin the fifth segment. This segment is called: A Hundred Years of Harmony."

"In this A Hundred Years of Harmony segment, after the female students had priority in the first four segments, the final decision-making power is reversed and handed to the male students. The male students can make the final decision on the girl they choose. If the one you choose is the female student who previously chose you,"

"and there are no other competitors, then, congratulations to you. But once a competitor appears, we must enter the bride-snatching segment. Among all our five segments, this A Hundred Years of Harmony segment has the most variables and is an important moment to display everyone's strength and charm, so please be prepared."

Zhang Lexuan added: "The bride-snatching segment is stipulated as follows. If a male student does not choose the girl who chose him, then that girl has the right to challenge him. Once the challenge is successful, that male student will lose the opportunity to choose and will be eliminated directly. Only by winning can one make a choice."

"Of course, if you can win sympathy, or if the girl who chose you lets you off, you can also choose again. If the female student you re-choose has already settled on another boy, then we will first seek the wishes of that boy; if he also chose this girl, then the two male students will compete. The loser is out, and the winner will have one chance to re-confess to that female student."

Zhang Lexuan continued: "And if multiple female students choose the same male student, if that male student chooses one of them, then the other two girls can also propose a challenge. Here I must emphasize again that during the challenge, we will use various methods to keep the ranks as balanced as possible."

After the rules were announced, what followed was the long-awaited final segment, A Hundred Years of Harmony.

Su Yu was not afraid of bride-snatching at all; if it really came to bride-snatching, who could snatch better than him?

Either peace, or I'll pull out the Heaven-Opening Cannon and give you a "nuke-peace."

Come on, if those old guys don't make a move, I'd like to see how many can stop me?

That was the fact, but if Su Yu really did that, the first person who wouldn't forgive him would be Xuan Lao. Back when Su Yu was at Shrek Academy, the Soul Guidance Department was turned upside down by him; if it weren't for Xuan Lao suppressing him, that month would have been enough to flip the Soul Guidance Department inside out.

Several times Fan Yu was so angry he almost rolled up his sleeves to beat Su Yu, but in the end, he sighed helplessly and silently retracted his fist. There was no help for it; there were too few good seedlings in the Soul Guidance Department, and it would be a net loss if he beat him away.

Although Su Yu was basically not at the academy later on, Fan Yu still remembered this top genius of the Soul Guidance Department in Shrek. Because of Su Yu's absence, he could only sigh over Su Yu's failure to be selected for the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan.

As the segments continued, the first pair to successfully hold hands was still He Hua and Gufan. In fact, the success rate of holding hands in previous Sea God's Fate assemblies was not high, but this year was truly somewhat unexpected.

Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin, Gufan and He Hua, Su Yu and Wang Dong'er, Huo Yuhao's pair, as well as the pair of Xiao Xiao and Cai Tou, the pair of Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian, and the pair of Han Ruoruo and Wang Yan—such a high success rate was unprecedented in previous years.

However, what everyone was gossiping about was far from the number of people holding hands, but rather the focus of this Sea God's Fate Blind Date Assembly: who to choose?

And there were only three people at the center of this question: Su Yu, Huo Yuhao, and Dai Huabin.

It was just that Su Yu's goal was already very obvious, and his goal was Wang Dong'er, but Huo Yuhao was different; the spectacle was incredibly intense.

Why wasn't Dai Huabin included? Because Dai Huabin came from the White Tiger Duke Mansion, and his future wife was destined to be Zhu Lu, so there was no spectacle.

"Yu Hao, it's your turn." Bei Bei's gaze turned to Huo Yuhao, and in his eyes, there was also a somewhat indescribable flavor. Su Yu's intuition also told him that Bei Bei was definitely holding back laughter.

Hearing Bei Bei's voice, even Huo Yuhao felt caught off guard. He only then realized that it was his turn? How could it be so fast?

Zhang Lexuan said: "Given that Huo Yuhao is favored by two girls at the same time, now the two girls can each say a word to him to express their wishes, from left to right."

From left to right, it was exactly Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao.

Ling Luochen remained cold and aloof, only hearing her say indifferently: "Anyone I admire is not too bad. Of course, if you don't choose me, I won't mind, but I will not admit defeat to Ma Xiaotao."

Her words were met with a burst of cheers from the crowd. This was no longer a confession at all; the more they listened, the more it sounded like a challenge, fearing that Ma Xiaotao wouldn't accept, and she had to open her mouth to drag this living volcano into the water.

It was Ma Xiaotao's turn. Ma Xiaotao smiled slightly and said: "Yu Hao, make your choice. Big sister will support you."

That smile made Huo Yuhao tremble with fear the more he looked at it. This, this, this...

"Huo Yuhao, you can make your choice," Zhang Lexuan said.

Huo Yuhao said without hesitation: "I choose Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao."

After saying this, he turned to Ling Luochen and said apologetically: "It is Yu Hao's honor to be favored by Senior Sister Ling Luochen. I am sorry."

Ling Luochen's complexion appeared slightly pale at this moment, and even a faint mist of water appeared in her eyes, but she still forcibly steadied her emotions and just said indifferently: "I said, I will not lose to Ma Xiaotao."

Hearing this, the corners of Su Yu's mouth began to curl up slightly. It seemed that after this, Huo Yuhao would not be able to stay in the Inner Court in peace.

Hearing this, besides a bitter smile, what else could Huo Yuhao say? Because now, saying anything was useless...

Now Su Yu finally understood why the success rate of holding hands at the Sea God's Fate was not high. With such a bride-snatching setup, the next battle segment should probably be renamed "Turning from Friends to Enemies"...

The subsequent battle ended without exception with Ling Luochen being crushed by Huo Yuhao's Extreme Ice. However, before leaving, Ling Luochen looked back deeply at Huo Yuhao.

What exactly it meant, no one was clear, but Su Yu knew that this "turning from friends to enemies" segment was quite successful; at the very least, a living example was right before their eyes.

In fact, Huo Yuhao didn't want to hurt Ling Luochen either, but a few years ago when Mu Lao was still alive, he had told him that when a man faces feelings, he must be decisive, otherwise, it would only cause more people pain. Sometimes, rejection is a better choice.

After all, Mu Lao had told Huo Yuhao the story of him and Long Xiaoyao, as well as the story of Ye Xishui, and he felt even more deeply about this point, so he made his choice without hesitation.

If a man is not decisive in terms of feelings, he is very likely to fall into endless entanglement.

With this living example, how could Huo Yuhao not take it seriously? After all, if he didn't handle it well, Mu Lao could probably strangle him...

Subsequent matters fell to Ning Tian. Su Yu rejected Ning Tian without hesitation and smiled at Wang Dong'er, who was holding his arm.

Scenes of the past flashed through their minds constantly. Su Yu could indeed never forget the proud, pink-blue short-haired boy he met for the first time.

Could it be that he had entrusted his whole heart to his beloved?

On the eve of the final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Duel Tournament where they fought side by side, Su Yu could not forget that moment that turned the tide of the battle: the blooming of the Goddess of Life, Ten Thousand Mirror Butterfly Dance.

She had always been her. Su Yu actually knew it all along, but the one kept in the dark was everyone else, not Su Yu.

All of this, he thought would lead to a bad ending, but who knew, Su Yu's performance exceeded everyone's expectations.

Brotherly love? To hell with brotherly love, Wang Dong'er held Su Yu's arm and smiled sweetly.

Sweat gradually appeared in Wang Dong'er's palms. She didn't know what Su Yu was thinking either; she was actually more worried, worried that Su Yu couldn't accept all of this.

But obviously, Su Yu had discovered everything long ago, and all her worries dissipated like smoke in an instant. Fingers interlaced, a voice rang out in each other's hearts.

…………

Looking at Wang Dong'er's face, which was even more stunning than Jiang Nannan's, an Inner Court student couldn't hold back and said, "I want to snatch the bride!"

"Are you sure?" Just as this student proposed to snatch the bride, Su Yu slowly turned his head and gave him a devilish smile.

Damn it, I'm about to finish, and you're still coming to interfere. If I don't beat the tears out of you, my surname isn't Su!

"Come on, who else? All of you come together. Today, no one can stop us!"

Letting go of Wang Dong'er's hand, Su Yu stepped out, then turned his head and spoke to the crowd.

"I also want to snatch the bride!" Ning Tian, holding back tears, also spoke up.

The charm of Wang Dong'er is infinite; in the blink of an eye, this Su fellow has already become an enemy of the entire populace, and within a mere few minutes, the army to snatch the bride has already reached seven people.
