People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 29 29. Night Talk
Armor fit!

Accompanied by a flash of black light, a set of armor that was completely black and looked like a rhinoceros instantly covered Xu Sanshi's entire body.

Xu Sanshi grabbed the jade wine glass on the table and squeezed it gently with his right hand. The wine glass instantly turned into a pool of powder.

Xu Sanshi explained: "Junior brother, this set of black rhino armor can provide me with 100% full attributes, and has two exclusive weapons, the meteor gun and the water armor shield. These two weapons do not require the armor to be combined to use."

"However, it is a pity that the energy required to maintain the combined form of the armor is fixed every day. If used for combat, it can only last for about an hour."

Only got an hour or so?
Actually… it was not so bad. During this one hour, Xu Sanshi had brought with him an under-equipped Nine Treasure Glazed Tower Spirit Master. Huo Yuhao knew Xu Sanshi’s defensive ability very well. With the help of this set of black rhino armor and meteor spear, his defensive ability was greatly improved, and it also made up for Xu Sanshi’s slightly insufficient offensive means. He could be considered an all-round spirit master with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's satisfied expression, Xu Sanshi immediately took off his armor, returned to his seat again, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

"Third senior brother."

"Hmm? Junior Brother, what else do you want?"

"Oh, that's right. Are you sure you can convince your daughter Yu'er to join our Tang Sect?"

Xu Sanshi chuckled and said, "Junior brother, Yu'er's full name is Chen Yu, and she is from Hanhai City. You should have an impression of her, right?"

Hanhai City? Chen Yu?

Huo Yuhao pondered and said, “I do have an impression of the last name Chen. In my previous life, I heard my brother-in-law Tang Wulin tell me about the love story between Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie and Light and Dark Douluo Long Yeyue. Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie was the patriarch of the Sea God Family of that generation. Could it be that the family that can be named the Sea God Family is… the descendants of the original residents of Sea God Island?”

Xu Sanshi nodded and said, "Yes, Yu'er is one of the descendants of the original residents of Sea God Island, and she is also my second wife in my previous life. As for why the two of us got together in advance, it should be... not important, right?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. He didn’t care about the love entanglement between Xu Sanshi and Chen Yu. With this relationship, Chen Yu would not be particularly opposed to joining the Tang Sect. The other party should be able to... replace Jiang Nannan’s position, right?

“Oh, yes, there is one last thing.” Huo Yuhao said solemnly, “Third Senior Brother, there is one thing I need you to answer for me. Um… how much do you know about Qin Yi, the vice-sovereign of the Body Sect and the Demonic Dragon Douluo?”

"Devil Dragon Douluo Qin Yi?" Xu Sanshi pondered, "According to the information from my Xuanming Sect, Demon Dragon Douluo Qin Yi and Bright Phoenix Douluo Ye Xishui are childhood sweethearts. He obtained a certain inheritance and went out to train for more than ten years. When he returned one day, he found that his childhood sweetheart had been deceived into the Holy Spirit Church. He was furious and immediately went to find Du Bi Si, who was still the young master of the Body Sect, to seek help from the Body Sect."

"At the Soul Master Competition, Ye Xishui pointed out the identity of Fang Che, the leader of Canglan Academy, as an evil soul master in public, and threw herself into Qin Yi's arms."

"With nowhere else to go, Fang Che jumped directly onto the competition stage and held Pavilion Master Mu, who was still a teenager at the time, hostage. At the moment when Fang Che escaped, he actually betrayed him and suddenly broke Pavilion Master Mu's spine and injected cold poison into Pavilion Master Mu's body through the wound." When these words came out, Huo Yuhao was shocked. He really didn't expect that Qin Yi and Ye Xishui had such a relationship. The girl named Qin Mengmeng must be Ye Xishui's daughter.

Is Ghostly Demon Shadow Ye Xishui's first martial soul before he degenerated into an evil soul master?

Huo Yuhao paced back and forth in the private room with his hands behind his back. It was not that he did not trust Xu Sanshi, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

It was such a coincidence that a person who did not exist in the previous life happened to be Ye Xishui's childhood sweetheart, changing the original destinies of many people.

In fact, Qin Yi and Ye Xishui were not childhood sweethearts, but even the current leader of the Body Sect, Du Bi Si, believed it. As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, even if this thing is not true, if everyone believes it is true, then it is true!
At that time, Qin Yi and Ye Xishui had already gotten married. Compared to that old ghost Zhongli Su, Ye Xishui did not reject this husband who was only less than ten years older than her. As Qin Yi's wife, would she clarify that she and Qin Yi were not childhood sweethearts?
In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done. Ye Xishui knew very well that Qin Yi would make up this lie just to gain the trust of the Body Sect. She had already escaped from the control of the Holy Spirit Sect and had a brand new life. Was the truth... really important?

Perhaps... Qin Yi never dreamed that a lie he casually told more than two hundred years ago would become a talisman to cover up his true identity. It was that lie that made his appearance so logical. No matter how much Huo Yuhao doubted his identity, he could not find a suitable entry point.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's anxious look, Xu Sanshi reminded him, "Junior brother, there's no need to hold on to Qin Yi. He married Ye Xishui and the Snow Queen, one of your seven spirits, but he's not the most suspicious one."

"Let's not talk about others for now. The Sun-Moon Empire did not experience that coup. Our eldest senior brother and Cai Tou Xu He are still princes in the Sun-Moon Empire, but his talent is a little lacking. The current emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, Xu Guiyu, adopted Xu Tianran as his own son and named him the crown prince."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

The throne inheritance in this world does not follow the rule of "the eldest son is the heir apparent if there is a legitimate heir", or "the eldest son is the heir apparent if there is no legitimate heir". If you want to sit firmly on the throne, you must first be an excellent soul master. Xu He obviously does not meet this condition.

Of course, Xu Guiyu could have ordered the killing of his brother's entire family while he was still able to move. That would have allowed the three empires and Poseidon Pavilion to take advantage of the situation. No matter how foolish he was, he would not do something that would please his enemies and hurt his loved ones.

Going back to reality.

Huo Yuhao’s face was gloomy. To be honest, compared with the Sun-Moon Empire, Qin Yi’s suspicion seemed insignificant. If Xu He was also reborn, as a prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, it would be impossible for him not to target Huo Yuhao and the Tang Sect behind him!

Xu Sanshi reminded him, "Junior brother, in this life, we don't need to completely restore the grand scene of the Tang Sect in the previous life. With Jiang Nannan's precedent, do you still think Xuan Ziwen, Ji Juechen, Jing Ziyan, and Nan Qiuqiu will definitely join the Tang Sect?"

Huo Yuhao replied: “Third Brother, I understand what you said. Don’t worry, I will only use everything from my previous life as a reference and will never substitute anything into this.”
