Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 16: The Double Pupils

Dai Huabin noticed that Huo Yuhao was acting strange, and subconsciously released his soul power to pressure him. A fierce light flashed in his double pupils. His right hand gradually shrank into a claw shape, his soul power was ready to go, and his martial spirit was ready to possess him at any time, as if he would slap Huo Yuhao with his tiger claws if he made any unusual movements.

As the second young master of a family with generations of military honors, he always remained vigilant in unfamiliar environments. The fact that a man selling grilled fish showed unusual movements when he saw him was worthy of his treatment. After all, countless members of the family had been assassinated in history.

"Ah?" Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Huabin with some confusion, as if he was wondering about Dai Huabin's question.

"There was something wrong with the way you looked at me just now!" Dai Huabin said in a cold tone, staring at Huo Yuhao's actions.

“That…classmate…it’s the first time I’ve seen someone with double eyes, and I was a little scared…” Huo Yuhao seemed to be explaining why he was trembling just now.

“Not enough!” Huo Yuhao’s words did not dispel Dai Huabin’s suspicion. Not only did he not look away out of fear, he stared at him for a long time. No matter how one thought about it, there must be something wrong.

Seeing Dai Huabin's relentless pursuit, Huo Yuhao knew that he had to explain again.

"My martial soul is my eyes, so I pay more attention to my eyes. When I saw my classmate's double pupils, I imagined what would happen if I had such a pair of pupils. I don't mean to offend my classmates..."

There was no lie in what Huo Yuhao said. If Huo Gua had a pair of double pupils with the iconic features of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger martial spirit, how could Huo Gua have such a hard life? How could a mere White Tiger lady dare to openly suppress Huo Gua and his mother?

In the original novel, Dai Loli did much better than Huo Gua even with the mutated blood tiger spirit.

Looking at Huo Yuhao's sincere look, Dai Huabin's vigilance gradually dissipated, and he realized that this was Shrek Academy, not the front line or the Soul Beast Forest.

But so what? Since a conflict has already occurred, is there any point in just doing nothing and retreating?

"Student Dai Huabin, can you please give our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect some face and let this little brother go?"

At this moment, a clear female voice sounded, breaking the tense atmosphere.

As the voice sounded, two girls came over arm in arm.

"Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?" Dai Huabin looked at the two of them. Seeing that the girl with short red hair was arm in arm with the blonde girl, but was vaguely half a body length behind her, he focused his gaze on the blonde girl.

Since you know my identity, you still dare to take the initiative to come forward, and use the name of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect...

"Ning Tian, ​​the young master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?"

Ning Tian didn't find it strange that Dai Huabin could guess his identity. After all, it was rare to have a female young master in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, so it wasn't surprising that she had a great reputation.

“What? Can you give me some face and let this little brother go?” This was the second time Ning Tian pleaded for Huo Yuhao.

"For the sake of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect..." Seeing Ning Tian pleading again, Dai Huabin took the opportunity to back off and restrained his soul power.

Seeing Dai Huabin's killing intent subsided, Huo Yuhao knew that this hurdle had been overcome. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but asked, "Classmate... do you want more grilled fish?"

Hearing this, Dai Huabin shook his head and walked towards his carriage.

The black-haired girl at the side glanced at the half-finished grilled fish in Huo Yuhao's hand with some reluctance, but finally followed Dai Huabin's footsteps.

"Thank you!" Taking his attention away from Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao sincerely thanked Ning Tian. If Ning Tian hadn't helped, it would have been difficult for him to deal with this big trouble.

"Hey! My young master came all the way here to help you, and you just want to send him away with a dry thank you? You have to treat us to a nice grilled fish meal!"

Ning Tian did not stop Wu Feng's behavior. Although Wu Feng was a little arrogant, he had always done a good job in speaking. Some of the words that Ning Tian said that were a little bit lower-brow could be said through Wu Feng's mouth.

Looking at the remaining fish, Huo Yuhao said helplessly, “There are only four left. I have to leave two for my brothers and sisters. I can only treat each of you to one grilled fish…”

"That's fine, hurry up, my young master doesn't have so much time to wait for you to roast it slowly..."

“Okay… wait a moment,” Huo Yuhao agreed, with his head lowered, as if he was concentrating on grilling the fish. From an angle that no one could see, a fierce light flashed in Huo Yuhao’s eyes.

After traveling through so many days, this was the first time that Huo Yuhao felt emotions from Huo Gua other than his memories. He was caught off guard and almost couldn't control his emotions.

Although Huo Gua disappeared for unknown reasons, the hatred that was deeply rooted in his blood was still affecting Huo Yuhao's emotions...

Dai Huabin, right? We need to have a good talk. Huo Yuhao felt that in the original novel, this guy who almost directly caused the death of Huo Gua's mother lived too well, and Huo Gua did not suppress him on purpose. This time, it would not be so easy for him to avenge Huo Gua...

Let me think about it, what plots in the original novel could be used to do something shady...

While Huo Yuhao was thinking, the grilled fish was almost done and was about to be out of the oven.

"Huo Yuhao?!"

When it was dinner time, Wang Dong naturally went to the east gate of Shrek to eat as he did at noon. As soon as he went out, he was attracted by a strange aroma.

Wang Dong naturally would not miss this delicious food that suddenly appeared, and walked towards the direction where the fragrance came from. As a result, when she looked at the stall owner, oh no, it was the guy who had extorted 5,000 gold soul coins from her today and made her run to the East Gate to eat.

Huo Yuhao was naturally startled by Wang Dong's exclamation, and his hand that was sprinkling the seasoning almost shook, causing the fish to become salt-baked.

"What are you doing? You're making a fuss and scaring me," Huo Yuhao said angrily. Wang Dong almost ruined his grilled fish. Although it was given to Ning Tian for free, it was also priced at one gold soul coin.

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao handed the prepared grilled fish to Ning Tian and Wu Feng.

The grilled fish floated past Wang Dong's eyes, leaving behind an enticing aroma that made Wang Dong swallow his saliva...

This grilled fish smells so good, it must be delicious...

"Huo Yuhao...how much do you sell this grilled fish for?" Wang Dong's greed was aroused, and he was too lazy to argue with Huo Yuhao about the blackmail. He just wanted to eat the grilled fish first.

“Look, there’s a price tag over there.” Huo Yuhao pointed to a wooden sign standing nearby. Following the direction of Huo Yuhao’s finger, Wang Dong noticed that there was another sign.

“Let me see… one gold soul coin per fish?!” It would be fine if he didn’t look at it, but once he did, he was shocked. Seeing this outrageous price, Wang Dong couldn’t help but exclaimed, “Huo Yuhao, you are stealing money. You are selling a black carp for such a high price!”

Hearing Wang Dong's words, Ning Tian, ​​who was eating grilled fish at the side, nodded secretly in her heart. Even she felt that one gold soul coin for an ordinary grilled fish was a bit expensive.

That’s why when she saw Huo Yuhao in trouble just now, she came out to help a little. What’s better than getting something for free… Just by saying a few words, she could save a gold soul coin. Isn’t that how the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect saves its gold soul coins?
Save where you can and spend where you can, this is one of the reasons why the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has always been ranked the richest on the continent.

As for offending the White Tiger Family? Humph! A family without a Titled Douluo is worthy? Those who are involved in politics have stopped providing free awakening to soul masters, but their Nine Treasures Glazed Sect has not stopped.

Because there are fewer competitors, there are even more civilian Titled Douluo in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect than in the era ten thousand years ago.

There is a Titled Douluo always by your side, so why are you afraid of him?

“Robbing money is not as fast as selling grilled fish,” Huo Yuhao said righteously, not knowing what Ning Tian was thinking.

"You could have just robbed them, but you still gave them a grilled fish." Wang Dong couldn't help but complain, "Forget it, one gold soul coin is one gold soul coin, give me one."

"I'm sorry. Although I really want to make money from you, today's grilled fish is sold out. If you want to eat it, you have to wait until tomorrow."

"Don't you still have two fish?"

"Sorry, these two fish were ordered by a friend, and I left them specially for them..."

Wang Dong suspected that Huo Yuhao was deliberately not selling it to her. How could it be such a coincidence that the fish were sold out when she arrived? And he even said that the remaining fish had been reserved.

Wang Dong was about to speak when a female voice interrupted his spell.

"Xiao Yuhao, have you sold all your grilled fish?"

Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao in amazement. She had never expected that so many people would buy a grilled fish for one gold soul coin. Are there so many rich people in Shrek, or is it just that their Tang Sect is poor...

"Teacher Xiaoya, Senior Brother, you've come just in time. The grilled fish will be ready soon."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao’s grilled fish had actually been reserved, Wang Dong no longer cared about it. Instead, he looked at the visitor with some curiosity. Who could make this money-grubbing guy so polite?
