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

Huo Yuhao stopped abruptly, surprised to find that Zhou Changqing's gaze towards him was... somewhat different.

What does his disguised identity have to do with the man in front of him?

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao pursed his lips and asked, feigning confusion, "Brother Zhou, is there something on my face?"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao hurriedly took out a mirror from his storage ring and carefully examined it in front of him.

When Huo Yuhao saw his face in the mirror, he was dumbfounded. The face that Aying had disguised for him was a bit too delicate. Coupled with his newly grown long hair, if it weren't for his Adam's apple, one would have thought he was a woman.

Wait a minute, could it be that Zhou Changqing has taken a liking to Huo Yuhao?

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was a little unsure. Having experienced more, he naturally knew that not all men liked women; there were a small minority of men…

Huo Yuhao wouldn't mind having something happen with a beautiful girl, but with a man... well, forget it. Even Zhou Kexin's brother wouldn't do. Even if it's for information, there has to be a limit.

Huo Yuhao chuckled and hurriedly made to leave the scene, but after taking only two steps, he was blocked by Zhou Changqing.

Zhou Changqing said with a serious expression, "Brother Zhao, to be honest, my sister is already thirty years old and doesn't even have a boyfriend. Her family is extremely worried about her marriage. I think you have a good eye for her, Brother Zhao. Would you be interested in getting to know my sister?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed. He forcibly suppressed his restless heart and said, feigning difficulty, "Brother Zhou, isn't this inappropriate? I've just arrived in Tiandou City and haven't even met your sister yet. Isn't it a bit too abrupt to start discussing marriage right away?"

Zhou Changqing said irritably, "What's good or bad about it? Men should marry when they're of age, and women should marry when they're of age. This is an age-old principle. Feelings can be cultivated later. As long as you're attracted to each other, that's enough."

As he spoke, Zhou Changqing hurriedly grabbed Huo Yuhao's wrist and dragged him to the women's side.

"Hey sis, come here, I've found you a boyfriend. Take a look and see if he's your type."

As a slightly deep male voice rang out, all sound in the banquet hall came to an abrupt halt, and everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their gazes to Huo Yuhao.

"Who is this person? She's quite pretty."

Someone muttered something under their breath, and Lan Fuzi, who had just entered, hurriedly walked up to Huo Yuhao, smiling as she asked, "Young man, may I ask your name, where you're from, and how you obtained the invitation to the ball? Please answer me directly!"

Looking at the serious expression on the blue-haired girl's face, Huo Yuhao felt a chill run down his spine. What had he done wrong to deserve such questioning?

Huo Yuhao feigned nervousness and said, "Hello, Commander Lan, my name is Zhao Zhi, and I come from Star City. Since I have just arrived in Tiandou City and am unfamiliar with the place, my servants took the liberty of buying an invitation so that I can get to know the young talents in Tiandou City. Is there any problem?"

Lan Fuzi said calmly, "The situation is currently turbulent, and I am responsible for the people of Tiandou City. A scenario like the Mingdu explosion in 'The Legend of the Emotional God King' cannot happen in a city under my control. Before your identity is verified, I cannot give a stranger the opportunity to plant a high-explosive bomb in an important building in Tiandou City!"

After saying that, Lan Fuzi waved his hand, and two burly men in full armor put shackles on Huo Yuhao and escorted him out of the banquet hall.

Seeing this, Zhou Kexin frowned, quickly turned to look at her brother beside her, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Big brother, is that person... really suspicious?"

"This is probably a serious problem," Zhou Changqing chuckled. "Judging from his words and actions, he doesn't seem like someone from aristocratic circles at all. Even if I, Zhou Changqing, am desperate, I would never get entangled with someone from aristocratic circles or resort to shady means!"

Hearing this, Zhou Kexin pouted and said irritably, "Come on, everyone knows that in your circle, if a man isn't a woman, the more effeminate he is, the more popular he is. Don't tell me... you weren't attracted to that man just now, and you want to introduce me to someone? It's clearly you, Zhou Changqing, who wants to take advantage of the situation, isn't it?"

Ah this...

Upon hearing this, the Soul Masters in the banquet hall looked at Zhou Changqing with a slightly different gaze. Everyone said that the noble circles were chaotic, but it couldn't be chaotic to this extent, could it?

……

The scene shifts to Tiandou City, in a dungeon, inside a solitary cell.

Lan Fuzi patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said gently, "Don't worry, Ningyun Sect won't slander someone who follows the rules for no reason, but it also won't let someone who breaks the rules go unpunished. Blame Huo Yuhao for being so unruly; he actually planted a high-explosive bomb in the capital of a nation, directly lowering the bottom line for all humanity and causing so many ordinary people to die. He's utterly unworthy of being called a son!"

Huo Yuhao hurriedly chimed in, "Exactly! Huo Yuhao went too far! His actions directly disrupted the balance of power in the Douluo Continent war. Why doesn't someone like that just die?!"

Huo Yuhao started to ramble on.

Please... add to your favorites (69 Bookstore!)

After all... he ended up in jail because of Huo Yuhao's actions, so it would be a bit unreasonable not to say a few symbolic curses.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Huo Yuhao is incredibly petty. If he finds out you insulted him, he'll probably kill all the men in your family and then take the women in your household into his harem, right in front of you... Hmph!"

After saying that, Lan Fuzi closed the door of her solitary cell and walked out of the dungeon with a solemn expression.

The moment Lan Fuzi stepped out of the dungeon, she could no longer contain her laughter and burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, Huo Yuhao is so interesting..."

As she laughed, Lan Fuzi's expression suddenly turned serious. She saw that when Huo Yuhao was scolding her... his expression didn't change at all.

"The Master is right. Huo Yuhao in the second timeline has absolutely no morals. He would sell anything for his own benefit."

"Hmph... Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, if only you had stayed that fool, at least someone would have had some pity on you and given you a chance to die a natural death. But you shouldn't have grown up, you absolutely shouldn't have. The Ningyun Sect... hmph, they won't give you a chance to bide your time!" (End of Chapter)
