People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 82 82. Huo Yuhao’s journey to the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion!
On the other side, the last auction item was brought to the booth - eight lotus seeds of a hundred thousand year old snow lotus soul beast.

In the end, it was bought by Jing Hongchen for 15 million gold soul coins.

So far... this top auction has come to a successful conclusion. Even though there were some minor incidents in the middle, it did not prevent the Xingluo royal family from making money. Twenty years of military expenses were finally earned.

After the auction ended, the major teams left the Starlight Auction House one after another. Huo Yuhao left the Shrek team's queue under the pretext of going to the restroom and found a girl in a black dress outside the VIP room.

"Big sister, is Senior Dai Yueheng still at the auction?"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao quietly stuffed a bag of gold soul coins into the hands of the girl in the black dress.

The girl in the black dress had no intention of hiding anything. She took the purse handed to her by Huo Yuhao and felt the weight of it. She immediately smiled and said, “You are talking about Master Dai… He left the auction venue after the first lot was sold.”

"Is that so...Okay then. Thank you, big sister."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao ran towards the door of the auction house without looking back. After leaving the auction house, he went straight back to the Starlight Hotel, went to the top floor, and knocked on the door of Dai Yueheng's room.

dong dong dong...

After knocking more than ten times, the door still showed no sign of opening. Huo Yuhao seemed to have thought of something. He quickly took out the room card, opened the door of his room on the other side, and pulled Dai Ying, who was preparing the Qigong Pill, out of the room.

The two of them jogged all the way and soon arrived at the gate of the Duke of White Tiger's mansion. Just as they were about to enter, they were stopped by the doorman.

“Where did this beggar come from? This is the Duke’s Mansion, not a place to beg!” Seeing that Huo Yuhao and Dai Ying were dressed simply, the doorman, who always looked down on others, mocked them without hesitation.

This time, Dai Ying straightened her back, pointed at the doorman's nose, and scolded him, "I am the princess appointed by the court, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of White Tiger. How dare you, a dog slave, speak to your master like that?"

As she spoke, Dai Ying threw her badge into the doorman's face.

When the doorman took the badge and looked at it, cold sweat instantly flowed down his forehead. He wanted to slap himself in the face. Why the hell was he drinking such wine when he had nothing better to do? Now he had offended the princess and his life might end here.

Despite his Soul Sect cultivation, the doorman still didn't dare to do anything to Huo Yuhao and Dai Ying. He knew the difference between dying alone and dying his entire family.

There was no other choice, the doorman could only kneel in front of Huo Yuhao and Dai Ying, kowtowed madly.

"My Lord, I am blind and blind. It is all my fault. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."

boom! boom! boom!
Seeing the doorman kowtowed continuously in front of him, Huo Yuhao's gaze became more profound. Is this... power?

There was a moment when Huo Yuhao wanted to become a god and stay in the mortal world for a hundred years, and be the emperor of the mortal world for a hundred years!

This feeling... is truly intoxicating.

Coming back to his senses, Huo Yuhao stared at the doorman in front of him and said in a cold tone: "I ask...you answer, has big brother returned to the mansion?" Calling him big brother... Huo Yuhao always felt a little awkward, but he had no choice. In an emergency, he had to play the family card if he wanted to maintain the glory of Shrek Academy. He had to call him big brother whether he wanted to or not!

The doorman stopped kowtowing, resisting the discomfort, and quickly replied, "My dear, the eldest son returned to the mansion with the eldest daughter half an hour ago. It seems that they went to the back garden to practice swordsmanship."

Miss?
Huo Yuhao was a little surprised. After all, he had lived in the Duke's Mansion for eleven years, and he had never heard that Dai Hao had a legitimate daughter.

Just like that, Huo Yuhao and Dai Ying walked side by side on the path in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Just as Huo Yuhao was thinking about how to convince Dai Yueheng, suddenly, Dai Ying slapped her forehead and said anxiously: "Yuhao, do you still have the cakes I made for you?"

"There are still two boxes. What are you going to do?" Huo Yuhao was confused. He didn't understand what Dai Ying was going to do.

"Oh, Yuhao, this is our first visit to our parents' home. According to the etiquette of the nobility, we should visit the owner of the backyard. We can't visit our stepmother empty-handed, that would be too rude."

Although Dai Ying was only an illegitimate daughter, she was beautiful and was honored to be treated as a concubine's daughter, and all the etiquette and manners that aristocrats should have were followed.

“Ah, is there still such a rule?” Huo Yuhao was stunned. At this moment… he regretted coming to the Duke’s Mansion. As soon as he wanted to call the Duchess mother, it would be better to kill him!

"Of course there is such a rule." Dai Ying said unhappily, "I am now the legitimate daughter. Even though I have married, the Duke's Mansion will still reserve a room for me. Every once in a while, there will be someone to clean it. This means... no matter when I come to the Duke's Mansion, I will return as the master. Yuhao, today... let's spend the night in the mansion, okay?"

As an illegitimate daughter, Dai Ying would not be abused in the Duke's Mansion, but at the same time... she would not be respected either.

When she was young, little Dai Ying had fantasized that one day she would become the owner of this mansion. Now... her wish has finally come true!
Dai Ying has a little dream, she wants to visit her childhood friends and provide some help as much as she can.

Hearing Dai Ying's words, Huo Yuhao was completely numb, and he wanted to slap himself! Seeing that the Duchess was not enough, she actually wanted to stay overnight in the mansion. This was really...

ummm
never mind!

For the sake of Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the Sea God Pavilion (Lingbing Pavilion), he... endured it.

In this way, Huo Yuhao and Dai Ying, each holding a box of snacks, were led by a maid to the pavilion in the backyard where a group of female relatives gathered.

With Dai Hao's return, the Duchess had a rare period of free time. She did not need to worry about the affairs of the mansion for the time being, so she gathered all the female members of the mansion who had status together, which was a gift from her as the mistress of the house.

The two of them came to the pavilion and bowed slightly to Xu Lin (the Duchess) who was sitting on the main seat and said, "My daughter Dai Ying and my husband Huo Yuhao are here to meet you, mother, and all the aunts."

"No need to be polite, come and sit down." Xu Lin waved her hand. The beautiful woman on the left understood and hurriedly led a group of women behind her to give up two seats.

The status of legitimate sons and daughters in the mansion is second only to the main wife, and ranks above other wives and concubines. No matter what Dai Ying's previous status was, she is now a princess canonized by the court. If other wives and concubines meet Dai Ying in private, they have to pay their respects to her.
