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

After developing suspicions, Huo Yuhao's gaze towards Miss Soraya changed slightly, his mind filled with the image of Ah Ying's aggressive demeanor.

"Yuhao, is there... something on my face?"

Soraya crossed her arms in front of her, her smile undiminished, maintaining the elegant demeanor characteristic of a noblewoman.

The more this happened, the more flustered Huo Yuhao became. In his previous life, all the girls he had met were very open about their feelings, especially Meng Hongchen, who practically had the words "I like Wang Dong" written all over her face.

Unlike Soraya, who can cry on cue and laugh on cue, changing eight expressions in a second. To be honest, even if she wasn't A-Ying in disguise, Huo Yuhao couldn't handle a woman like that. The two of them are simply not on the same level.

That's what he thought, but Huo Yuhao still pretended to hesitate and said, "Miss Soraya, I... oh dear, I wanted to ask you, if I submit to the Bright Moon Plane, what kind of position will you give me?"

"A position?" Soraya tilted her head thoughtfully and said, "I am currently the nominal king of the gods. If you submit to the Moon Plane, I can give you the position of High Priest of the gods, ta-da."

Ah this...

God-King and High Priest? That sounds a bit strange.

"This is a very important matter, Miss Soraya. Please give me some time to consider it. Three days! At most three days, and I will definitely give you an answer."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Soraya.

Soraya didn't say much, but simply stuffed a communication jade pendant, just like the one Ah Ying had, into Huo Yuhao's hand before leaving him without looking back.

Huo Yuhao stared at the two identical communication jade tokens in his hand, lost in thought.

"Wait, which jade pendant did Miss Soraya give me?"

Soul Masters have extraordinary memory, let alone a top-tier mental soul master like Huo Yuhao. They are unlikely to experience memory confusion. However... there are always exceptions. Huo Yuhao was thinking about something and didn't pay attention to the ownership of the two jade tokens in his hand.

"Alright, after making a decision, I'll call Soraya and Aying over together. I can't handle one of them, so I'll let the two of them fight it out, and I'll just watch from the sidelines and reap the benefits. Hehehe..."

After chuckling to himself for a while, Huo Yuhao got up, stepped out of the mansion, and headed straight for the former Shrek Academy.

Before that, he needed to verify the information with Lin Huiqun. Although Aying had no reason to lie to him about this, he should still verify it. There are always exceptions, and he couldn't just believe whatever others said.

Soon, Huo Yuhao arrived at the gate of Shrek Academy. Looking at the deserted scene before him, Huo Yuhao felt a pang of sadness. Shrek Academy's former glory was long gone, and the once-famous number one academy on the continent had come to an end.

Since Poseidon Island was taken away by the undead legion, Poseidon Lake, which was originally a natural simulated training ground, was dried up. Even if Poseidon Island is rebuilt, it will no longer have the effect of increasing the training speed.

In order to save costs, Lin Huiqun decided not to rebuild Poseidon Island and instead use the outer campus of Shrek Academy as the office of Poseidon Pavilion... oh no, Spirit Ice Pavilion.

The former Shrek Academy outer courtyard office building, top floor, inside the Lingbing Pavilion Master's office.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly approached Lin Huiqun, his expression grave, and asked, "Aunt Lin, Tang San ran away, handing over control of the Asura and Sea God positions to Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotions, and instructing him to pass these two positions on to me disguised as the Emotion God positions. Is this... true?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Huiqun instinctively asked, "Huo Yuhao, where did you get this level of information from?"

"Never mind where I heard it from, I'm asking you, is this really true? Answer me!"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he swept his cold gaze across Lin Huiqun in front of him.

Looking at the young man before him, Lin Huiqun sighed and said helplessly, "That's indeed true. Tang San, well... he can't stand seeing others do well. He's afraid of the power behind Ningyun Sect, and even more afraid of the methods used by Haoyue Plane. That's why he had the idea of ​​leaving to seek refuge. To prevent you, the Great God King Huo, from imitating Tang San's methods and regaining control of the God Realm after him, he shifted the blame onto you."

Lin Huiqun shrugged. Since the Sea God Tang San had already run away, she was now fearless and spoke ill of the Great God King Tang without any hesitation.

"The Ningyun Sect... what's the power behind it?" Huo Yuhao frowned. "Aunt Lin, are you saying... the Ningyun Sect's true power isn't as simple as it seems, and that there might be a god-level expert supporting it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Huiqun curled her lip and looked at Huo Yuhao with an expression as if he were an idiot.

Isn't this obvious? Before the invasion of the Bright Moon Plane, the Ningyun Sect had practically trampled the Sea God Pavilion's face underfoot. Even so, Tang San didn't do anything underhanded... no, perhaps he did, but it was neutralized by the god-level powerhouses behind the Ningyun Sect.

"hateful!"

Upon learning this news, Huo Yuhao could no longer control his emotions and slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

The Ningyun Sect regards Huo Dashenwang as a thorn in their side, and with a god-level expert backing them up, can Huo Yuhao really fight against the Ningyun Sect?

Without the Ningyun Sect, and without the various monsters and diverse inheritances created by Zhu Ningyun, Huo Yuhao might still be the Lingbing Douluo, revered by all sides.

It's all Ningyun Sect's fault!

Upon realizing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes turned bloodshot and he began to pant heavily. He finally understood that Ningyun Sect was the stumbling block on his path forward. As long as Ningyun Sect did not fall, no matter how hard Huo Yuhao tried, he would never have a chance to succeed.

Very well, since your Ningyun Sect is heartless, then don't blame the Great God King Huo for being unjust!

Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed, and he stormed out of the office. Just as he left the office building, he suddenly clenched his hands and crushed the two communication jade tokens in his hands.

After doing all this, he returned to the Huo residence and opened the gates wide, waiting for the arrival of the two destined people.

About half an hour later, accompanied by a series of slightly muffled footsteps, Huo Yuhao subconsciously looked up and saw... Soraya and Aying walking side by side into the gate of the Huo residence. Neither woman looked well, as if they had just had a fight. (End of Chapter)
