Several days later, the grandest event at Shrek Academy's inner court, the Sea God's Rites on Sea God's Lake, was about to arrive…

It was still dark outside. Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao were deep in sleep in a room…

Suddenly, "rat-a-tat-tat," a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door…

Bei Bei's eyes snapped open, and he quickly got up to open the door…

As the door swung open, there stood Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, and Ma Xiaotao!

Bei Bei smiled, "Xiao Ya, Nannan, Sister Xiao Tao, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon?"

Bei Bei was very clear about why Tang Ya and the others were here—it was what they had previously planned!

Tang Ya playfully blinked, "Of course, it takes quite a lot of time to do makeup and change clothes!"

Jiang Nannan nodded earnestly, "Exactly, Bei Bei, do you think we're like you big guys? There are still many steps to take care of for Dong'er."

Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes looked inside at the three still sleeping, urging, "Bei Bei, hurry up and wake them up. After we take Wang Dong away, don't forget to help Yuhao get ready."

Hearing this, Bei Bei nodded in understanding, "Hmm! Don't worry."

Then, he walked over to Wang Dong and the others, gently shaking each of their shoulders…

Since no one was sleeping particularly soundly, they soon all began to wake up from their slumber…

Xu Sanshi, who was roused from sleep, complained grumpily, "Bei Bei, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong looked puzzled, "Big Brother Beibei, why are you waking us up?"

Bei Bei smiled at them, "Today is our Sea God's Island event. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Xu Sanshi's pupils contracted as he suddenly remembered…

Bei Bei's gaze then turned to Wang Dong, saying, "Wang Dong, Xiao Ya and the girls need you for something…"

Wang Dong looked towards the door upon hearing this, seeing Tang Ya and the others waving at her…

Although filled with confusion, she still stepped outside as Bei Bei had said…

At the doorway, she asked with uncertainty, "Sister Tang Ya, Sister Nannan, and Sister Xiao Tao, did you need me for something?"

Tang Ya took Wang Dong's hand with a smile, explaining, "Wang Dong, just come with us. We need to get you ready for the event."

Wang Dong frowned slightly, looking back at Huo Yuhao and the rest, "But what about Yuhao and the others…"

Jiang Nannan soothingly whispered, "Don't worry, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi will get Yuhao ready. Let's go."

Wang Dong, without a clear answer, directed her puzzled gaze towards Ma Xiaotao, who was always serious about matters…

Nevertheless, all she received was a kindly smile from Ma Xiaotao…

Helplessly, Wang Dong sighed, "I understand."

After that, she was led away by Tang Ya and the others…

Huo Yuhao then turned his gaze towards Bei Bei, asking, "Big Brother Beibei, can you tell me about today's event now?"

Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi exchanged glances, explaining, "Of course. Today's event is called the Sea God's Rites on Sea God's Island. It's especially for Shrek Academy inner court students to find their best partners under the blessing of the Sea God, but it requires a certain level of strength."

Surprise dawned on Huo Yuhao's face, "I never expected Shrek Academy to have such an event."

Xu Sanshi revealed a sleazy smile, "Definitely, this is the grandest event for Shrek Academy inner court students, and lots of pretty girls will be participating."

"Who knows, Yuhao, you might also find a woman who makes your heart skip a beat at this event."

Thinking of this, Xu Sanshi's drool fell from the corner of his mouth...

Bei Bei looked at Xu Sanshi's expression and said with a face full of disgust, "Xu Sanshi, wipe that sleazy smile off your face, and get ready quickly. Or do you want your dear Nannan to run off with someone else?"

Xu Sanshi retorted, "Tch, you should worry about your own Tang Ya running off with someone else!"

Having said that, he began to tidy up his appearance in front of the mirror...

Bei Bei didn't bother with him anymore and pointed to the clothes behind them that looked as elegant as formal attire, "Yuhao, those are the new clothes we've prepared specially for this event. Which set would you like to wear?"

No sooner had his words fallen than a "crack" sound came from the door...

Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, and Xu Sanshi all turned their attention to the sound. Then, their pupils dilated in unison...

The newcomer had a pair of deep, ink-colored eyes and a stunningly handsome face that exuded an inherent attraction at all times, making it difficult for anyone to resist his unique aloof demeanor.

But the three of them didn't remember ever knowing the person before them...

Xu Sanshi couldn't help but swallow nervously, his face full of confusion, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Huo Yuhao also frowned as he looked at the man before him...

Surprise flickered in Bei Bei's eyes. Coming back to his senses, he calmly said, "I don't know who you are, but you should head back and get ready soon. The Sea God's Fete on Sea God's Island is about to begin."

The man in front of them glanced at the three with his icy eyes, then uttered in a cool, magnetic voice, "Big Brother Bei."

Indeed, the person who had arrived was none other than Qian Yu, who had just emerged from seclusion!!

As his last shackle had broken, his entire appearance had undergone a massive change...

Whether it was his height or his features, or in any aspect, everything was completely different from before!

Hearing the familiar call from Qian Yu, Bei Bei's pupils contracted sharply, and his face filled with disbelief, "Could it be you are...?"

That tone reminded him of Qian Yu first and foremost!

But the person now before him looked completely different from before!!

It was as if he was another person entirely!

Qian Yu's gaze intensified, and he spoke again in a chilling tone, "Big Brother Bei, I hope you've been well..."

He had already made inquiries about the ongoing event when he arrived...

Bei Bei was about to call out Qian Yu's name, but realizing from his speech that he didn't want to reveal his identity, he forcefully swallowed his words...

Seeing this scene, Xu Sanshi and Huo Yuhao asked in puzzlement, "Bei Bei, do you know this guy?"

Bei Bei glanced at Qian Yu and explained somewhat stiffly, "Yes, he's one of our Inner Court students... but he's rarely seen..."

Hearing Bei Bei's affirmative reply, Huo Yuhao and Xu Sanshi both heaved a sigh of relief...

They thought to themselves, "So that's it, no wonder I've never seen this handsome man before!"

Bei Bei gave Qian Yu a meaningful look and suggested, "Since you're here as well, why not get ready with us? There should still be some time before the event starts..."

Upon hearing this, Qian Yu nodded and said, "Thank you, Big Brother Bei."

Afterward, Bei Bei worked on new hairstyles for Qian Yu and Huo Yuhao, who were not very good at dressing up. Once they had finished with their hairstyles, the four of them began to choose clothes that suited them the best...

Soon, the four of them had quickly completed their respective outfits...
