Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 98 Brotherhood!
Half of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion has been completely reduced to ruins. Their defensive soul guides, which are not to say useless, are also useless and cannot withstand the combined burning of the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

Either it was devoured or it was purified, losing the function of the soul guide.

"master!"

The Duchess lost her composure and trotted over to Dai Hao's side, crying, "I don't know where this villain came from to set fire to the Duke's mansion! You must arrest the arsonist and execute him!"

Dai Hao's expression was solemn. He said, "This isn't an ordinary fire. The one who set it must be a spirit master! Come on, search the forest over there carefully."

"Yes!"

The people behind Dai Hao nodded and took quick action.

After the guards took action, Dai Hao said to the Duchess, "I will report this to His Majesty. The perpetrators will be apprehended. Since the Duke's Mansion has been burned down like this, why don't you take your people and move to Xingluo City?"

The Duchess hummed and said, "It happens to be the Soul Master Competition period now. Yueheng and Huabin are back here. I'll stay at the Xingluo Hotel for a while!"

Dai Hao didn't object when he heard this. He just said to her, "Both brothers are members of Shrek Academy. I know you miss them, but try not to disturb them while they're preparing for the competition."

"Don't worry, sir." The Duchess nodded, looking virtuous.

The guards who had gone to investigate the forest quickly returned. The leader bowed to Dai Hao and said, "Your Excellency, we've checked. There's no one in the woods, but we did find two sets of messy footprints."

"Two people?"

Hearing this, Dai Hao tapped his fingers lightly and nodded, "I understand. People from all over the continent are now gathering in Xingluo City, and it's a mixed bag. Perhaps it was done by someone who has a grudge against me, Dai Hao."

"They are just a bunch of rats who dare not confront head-on and can only use these insidious tricks!" The Duchess said bitterly.

Dai Hao looked at the Duchess and said to her, "Madam, His Majesty has entrusted me with the important task of the Soul Master Competition. The affairs are complicated. I will report the follow-up matters of the Duke's Mansion to His Majesty. I hope you will take care of them."

"Yes, sir." The Duchess nodded and agreed.

Inside the Xingluo Hotel, Huo Yuhao was chatting with Meng Hongchen when Jiang Shengyu pushed the door open, grabbed the teapot beside him, took a gulp of tea, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh—alive."

"Where have you been?" Meng Hongchen looked at Jiang Shengyu blankly.

"I……"

Before Jiang Shengyu could say a word, Xiao Hongchen kicked the door open and shouted angrily, "Jiang Shengyu! You little brat, you don't care about our brotherhood at all, do you?"

Jiang Shengyu smiled awkwardly.

Looking at the situation of Jiang Shengyu and Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen frowned and asked, "Where on earth were you two doing?"

Seeing Meng Hongchen's serious expression, Xiao Hongchen coughed lightly. He walked to Jiang Shengyu's side, awkwardly fiddling with the teacup on the table, and whispered to Jiang Shengyu, "Give me a cup..."

Jiang Shengyu poured a cup for Xiao Hongchen, and the two of them drank tea with their heads down.

Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao looked at each other. She stood up and walked in front of them, knocked on the table lightly, and said, "Don't lower your head! Speak, what have you been doing?" Xiao Hongchen still didn't say anything, and Jiang Shengyu clinked glasses with him.

Meng Hongchen was furious. She snatched the teacups from Jiang Shengyu and Xiao Hongchen and said seriously, "Are you even listening to me? This is the Xingluo Empire, not Mingdu! As members of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy's representative team, we are in great danger! Do you know that..."

"Wait! Stop!" Xiao Hongchen and Jiang Shengyu stopped Meng Hongchen's chatter in unison.

Xiao Hongchen said: "We didn't do anything, we just went out for a walk."

"Yeah! I took a walk." Jiang Shengyu nodded.

Meng Hongchen looked at the two men and knew they were lying, so he said, "You are the captain and the vice-captain. You must lead by example, understand?"

"I understand, sister! You must be thirsty after talking so much. Come! Have a cup of tea first." Xiao Hongchen nodded and quickly poured a cup of tea for Meng Hongchen and placed it in front of her.

Meng Hongchen looked at Xiao Hongchen, who was smiling as he handed him tea, but he looked helpless. Huo Yuhao walked over to Meng Hongchen, glanced at Jiang Shengyu, then at Xiao Hongchen, and asked, "How's the scenery in Xingluo City? Is it fun?"

Hearing this, Meng Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion and asked, "Hasn't Yuhao ever been to Xingluo City?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "I've never been to Xingluo City. I didn't have the resources when I was a kid. But after my mother passed away, I left."

As a native of Xingluo City, I have never been to Xingluo City!
Meng Hongchen was silent for a moment, then gently patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder and said, "Come on! I'll take you to visit Xingluo City! The academy has approved a lot of funding for us this time, so feel free to use it!"

The story between Xiao Hongchen and Jiang Shengyu was revealed just like that.

The teacher in charge walked in from outside. She glanced at them and said, "Don't go out for a while. I have something to tell you. Let's all focus!"

After everyone gathered, the team leader told everyone the rules of the Soul Master Competition.

The competition system this year is no different from previous ones, but the conditions for the use of soul guides have been further standardized. Players who are not registered soul guides are not allowed to use soul guides.

Jiang Shengyu, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, three members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team, have not registered as soul instructors.

"Isn't this specifically targeting us?" Meng Hongchen frowned, his expression solemn.

The team leader looked at the three of them and said soothingly, "Don't worry, believe in your own strength! With the three of you at this level, even without relying on soul guides, there are almost no people of the same level who can defeat you! What's more, the official team members are all registered soul guides."

"That's right, we are here!" Someone among the official team members nodded with a smile.

The team leader continued, "Also, the draw for the elimination round will begin tomorrow. Although we are not afraid of anyone except Shrek Academy, we must also be vigilant and not let those guys originally from the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent look down on us, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy!"

"Yes!"

After the leading teacher finished speaking, everyone answered in unison.

In the Xingluo Empire Palace, Dai Hao informed the Xingluo Empire Emperor Xu Jiawei about the affairs of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. After listening, Xu Jiawei looked solemn.
