In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 28. Xu Sanshi, reborn, doesn't want to join the Tang Clan.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao rushed back to Shrek Academy as soon as possible. After making some inquiries, he finally arrived at the gate of the outer courtyard library.

Standing at the entrance, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, quickly organized his thoughts, and then stepped into the library.

Since it was evening, there weren't many people in the library. Apart from the staff, there were only two students, a man and a woman, sitting at a desk looking through materials.

With just a glance at his profile, Huo Yuhao immediately recognized the burly male student with a somewhat youthful face as Xu Sanshi, one of the Eternal Guardians from his previous life, the second generation of Shrek Seven Devils!

The girl with long, ice-blue hair sitting next to Xu Sanshi is presumably his girlfriend in this life.

Hearing the door open, Xu Sanshi instinctively looked in the direction of the sound. When he saw the person's face, a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

Um? ? ? ? ?

Huo Yuhao sensed something was wrong. In this life, this was clearly their first meeting, so why was Xu Sanshi making that face? It was as if he was afraid of him? Could it be that Xu Sanshi also…

Huo Yuhao, his eyes brimming with excitement, sat down opposite Xu Sanshi. He subconsciously leaned forward and whispered, "Third Senior Brother, may I speak to you in private?"

(ps: The age ranking of the second generation Shrek Seven Devils is Xu He, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Tang Wutong, and Huo Yuhao)

"Third Senior Brother?" The blue-haired girl frowned, asking with a puzzled look, "Xu Sanshi, when did you become a disciple? How come I didn't know?"

Xu Sanshi took a deep breath, patted the blue-haired girl's shoulder, and said gently, "Yu'er, you go back and rest first. My junior brother and I have important matters to discuss."

"Well... alright then." Chen Yu nodded, put the books back in their original places, and hurriedly left the library.

"Junior brother, let's talk somewhere else." As he spoke, Xu Sanshi gestured towards the door.

The scene shifts to a private room at the Tulip Hotel, where the two brothers are toasting each other, their faces filled with melancholy, and they remain silent.

After a long silence, Huo Yuhao spoke first: "Third Senior Brother, you've been reborn, why don't you pursue Fourth Senior Sister? Didn't you consider Senior Sister Nan Nan the love of your life in your previous life?"

Xu Sanshi said weakly, "Don't laugh at me, but the year Nan Nan's mother passed away, she had just broken through to level 98, beat me up, and then left the Xuanming Sect."

Huo Yuhao pressed further, "Then... Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Sister, were you really that heartless to let your children be without a father or a mother?"

"Children? What children?" Xu Sanshi said self-deprecatingly, "If a woman doesn't want children, well... there are plenty of ways!"

After hearing Xu Sanshi's words, Huo Yuhao was speechless for a moment. He... did not understand why his senior brother and sister, who seemed to be loving and affectionate in their previous life, would come to this.

Having lived two lives, Huo Yuhao is completely ignorant of human relationships and social customs. Xu Sanshi taking Jiang's mother to the Xuanming Sect to raise her is a threat in itself. With such a powerful hand, how could Xu Sanshi possibly let Jiang Nannan marry someone else?

Going back to reality.

Huo Yuhao took a sip of tea, looked at Xu Sanshi in front of him, and said with a solemn expression, "Third Senior Brother, why don't you join the Tang Sect? Are you afraid that something might go wrong and prevent me, Huo Yuhao, from joining Shrek Academy?"

Xu Sanshi scoffed, "If I join the Tang Sect, my highest achievement will only be Limit Douluo. If I don't join the Tang Sect, my highest achievement will also be Limit Douluo, so what's the point of joining the Tang Sect?"

Xu Sanshi was very unhappy. Why were the five members of the original Shrek Seven Devils able to ascend to the God Realm with Tang San, while the five members of his generation had to die of old age on Douluo Continent?

After his rebirth, he wanted to lead the Xuanming Sect to join the Sun Moon Empire more than once, hoping to secure a good future for himself out of consideration for their shared surname, Xu.

Of course, Xu Sanshi was only thinking about it. The situation in this life was quite different from his previous one. He could be reborn, but others might not be. He decided to stay at Shrek Academy and observe the situation first. And so on...

Did these words make Huo Yuhao feel ashamed? No, it should be said that his face was full of shame, but he was just putting on this act for Xu Sanshi's benefit. In reality, he didn't think he had done anything wrong in his past life.

As fellow second-generation Shrek Seven Devils, it's a favor to give you godhood, and it's our right not to. What kind of status do you, Xu Sanshi, have to ask Huo Da Shenwang for payment?

Huo Yuhao said softly, "Third Senior Brother, to be honest, seeing you all die of old age on Douluo Continent, I feel terrible. Every time I think of the little things we did together, my heart aches so much that I can't sleep. Now that I'm reborn, I will definitely not let these regretful things happen again. I will definitely find a suitable divine inheritance for you... and for Yu'er, who was just standing next to you."

snort!

Xu Sanshi snorted coldly, slowly stood up, and made as if to leave the private room.

Huo Yuhao panicked and hurriedly got up, using the Ghost Shadow Step to block Xu Sanshi's path.

"Third Senior Brother, oh no, Young Sect Master Xu, having been reborn, don't you have any thoughts about that realm?"

"Yes, you can find the place of divine inheritance on your own, but then again, you did the same in your previous life, and what happened in the end? What became of you? Didn't you still die of old age on the Douluo Continent?"

"I can assure you that as long as you fight alongside me like you did in my previous life, and we work together to revive the Tang Sect, as long as I can become a god, I will definitely secure a ticket to the God Realm for you. Even if your talents don't reach the level of a third-level god, you will still go to the God Realm with me as priests or hunters."

"So... what's your choice?"

Xu Sanshi seemed moved by Huo Yuhao's "sincere" words, slowly lowered his head, and whispered, "Junior Brother, don't say anymore, I promise you, I'm willing to give everything for the Tang Sect..."

After their heart-to-heart talk, the two brothers returned to the dinner table and continued drinking and chatting.

While eating, Huo Yuhao seemed to suddenly remember something, quickly put down his chopsticks, and asked curiously, "Third Senior Brother, I heard from Master Nan Nan—oh no, Senior Sister—that you are also a student in the Heavenly Class. So, what is your inheritance?"

Xu Sanshi did not answer immediately. Instead, he stood up, went to an open space to the side, and struck an extremely cringeworthy pose.

"Black Rhino Armor...Combined!"
