Early the next morning, Zhao Xin was waiting in front of Ma Xiaotao's dormitory door. He fiddled with her hair from time to time, which made Zhao Xin feel narcissistic.
"Good morning." Zhao Xin took out a bunch of daisies picked from Poseidon Island from behind him and invited Ma Xiaotao, who was dressed very beautifully, "Would you like to go shopping?"
"Let's go." After a night of carefree behavior, Ma Xiaotao lost her shyness and took Zhao Xin's hand to show her affection. "I've been doing missions in the three empires for the past year. I don't even have time to go shopping."
Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao walked out of Poseidon Island hand in hand. On the way, Zhao Xin saw many seniors with envious eyes. These seniors were the ones who were eliminated from the Poseidon Fate yesterday. Now seeing Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao walking hand in hand on Poseidon Island, they naturally felt envious and hurt.
The two did not use soul power to fly over Poseidon Lake, but found a ferry by the lake. Zhao Xin held the oars and carried Ma Xiaotao from Poseidon Island to the outer courtyard. The weather today was very refreshing, and the breeze swept the water vapor on Poseidon Lake, making Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao feel relaxed and happy. This was the first time for the two of them to experience Poseidon Lake up close.
Yesterday, the water lilies and lights on the Sea God Lake had been removed. From time to time, black fish jumped out of the lake. The tranquil and far-reaching scene completely calmed Zhao Xin's busy mood. The black fish in the Sea God Lake were specially cultivated by the academy. The canteen in the inner courtyard had a nourishing holy product called black fish soup, which was the most suitable for repairing hidden injuries in the body. This year, Zhao Xin would catch a few black fish for barbecue after completing his mission. Of course, no one except Zhao Xin dared to come here to catch fish.
Arriving at the outer courtyard, Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao looked towards a class that was engaging in an actual combat between spirit masters on the playground. The pupils, whose average age was only twelve or thirteen, stared with their eyes wide open.
"Wow, that sister is so beautiful! So beautiful! Look at her."
"Hey, why are they holding hands? They must be seniors."
The students were talking about it, whispering to Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao. At the same time, the teacher who was supervising the students' battle on the platform looked over and laughed when he saw Ma Xiaotao and Zhao Xin. "Xiaotao? Zhao Xin, you guys performed well last night."
"Teacher Zhang." Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up. Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao were very familiar with this Teacher Zhang. He used to be the teacher who taught Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao the habits of soul beasts. Unexpectedly, after the two entered the inner courtyard, he also became a class teacher.
"You two were sneaking around when you were in the outer courtyard, and the students and teachers around you all thought you would be a couple. I didn't expect you to come to Haishenyuan in your first year in the inner courtyard." Because they had been together for six years, the three of them were already familiar with each other, so Zhang Yu was happy for Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, his tone was full of teasing towards Zhao Xin. "But you still have to pay attention to your image when you come to the outer courtyard. What if you teach these kids bad things?"
"Uh!" Ma Xiaotao quickly let go of Zhao Xin's hand, "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhang."
"Hehe, I'm so excited, Teacher Zhang." Zhao Xin rubbed his hands and said awkwardly, "Sorry."
"Okay, I'm just saying that. You've all entered the inner courtyard, and I understand you. You can finally hold hands openly. Young lovers will always be excited." Zhang Yu looked like an experienced person, and whispered to Zhao Xin, "But you still have to be restrained. You're too young. Be careful."
Zhao Xin looked at Zhang Yu's eyes speechlessly, not knowing what to say, "Teacher Zhang, we are also children, we can't think too far ahead. If Xiao Tao hears it, I will be beaten to death."
"Haha, let's go quickly. You are disturbing the new students here." Zhang Yu urged Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao to leave. He pointed at the students behind him who kept looking over here and said impatiently.
"Then see you later, Teacher Zhang." Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao quickly said goodbye to Zhang Yu, and at the same time waved to the young students who kept looking at them, causing another commotion.
Zhang Yu turned back to his students and said, "What are you looking at? How's your training going? Did you see those two seniors just now? They are your inner courtyard seniors. They used to be my students. If you learn well, you can also enter the inner courtyard like those two seniors. Now you should train hard."
Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao, who were far away from Zhang Yu, did not hear Zhang Yu's bragging to the students. They were now worrying about where to go.
"Zhao Xin, you asked me out but I don't know where to go?" Ma Xiaotao looked at Zhao Xin, who had difficulty making choices, speechlessly. How could a boy ask a girl out and let her choose the place? But Zhao Xin did that. When Ma Xiaotao asked where to go next, Zhao Xin actually said, "I don't know." This made Ma Xiaotao, who had just entered the sweet period, speechless.
"Why don't we go to an auction? Before I went back to the inner courtyard, I happened to see a chamber of commerce holding an auction. Let's go and join in the fun," Zhao Xin thought about it and finally came up with a good place, "Maybe we can find a bargain."
Zhao Xin's words aroused Ma Xiaotao's interest. She had been to many auctions in her life, but she had never had the exciting experience of picking up bargains. Zhao Xin told her that the ten thousand year old black ice marrow that helped her suppress the Phoenix Flame was picked up by Zhao Xin at an auction, and he bought it at less than one tenth of the price.
Zhao Xin pointed the way and led Ma Xiaotao to a luxurious house with the name of the Chamber of Commerce carved in golden metal, the Golden Chamber of Commerce, a very vulgar name. But Zhao Xin knew that this Chamber of Commerce could be ranked in the top five in Shrek City except for the Chamber of Commerce secretly supported by Shrek Academy. The martial spirit of the Chamber of Commerce president was a different species of golden cicada, which could absorb metal to enhance the strength of the martial spirit, so the Golden Chamber of Commerce was established. After thousands of years of development, it became one of the top five chambers of commerce in Shrek City.
Zhao Xin brought Ma Xiaotao into the Gold Chamber of Commerce. A servant wearing clothes with a golden cicada pattern came over to greet Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao and said, "Two distinguished guests, what do you need? We in the Gold Chamber of Commerce have all kinds of metals, soul guides and even soul bones." The servant was also a shrewd man. As soon as he saw Zhao Xin and Ma Xiaotao come in, he could tell that these two people were rich young men. People like them would definitely not come in just to take a look.
Zhao Xin took out a token with a golden cicada relief from his soul guide ring and handed it to the servant. "Is today the gold auction? Take me there."
The servant took the gold token respectfully and checked it. This kind of token is only issued by the Gold Chamber of Commerce to top forces, such as Shrek Academy. Zhao Xin's Zhao family is a local snake in Shrek City, and the family power is not weak, so it is natural that they will be issued with a gold token. After Zhao Xin established Tianbao Pavilion, in order to collect various rare metals, he also asked Zhao Changtian for a lot of Chamber of Commerce tokens. After all, with the token of the Chamber of Commerce, you can always get some help and discounts, and it will save a lot of trouble when dealing with people.
