Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

Although the question was asked lightly, only she knew that her mind was already elsewhere.

Ever since she set foot on the grounds of Donghai City, that name has been constantly echoing in her mind, making her restless.

She knew that asking so directly would seem a bit deliberate, but she just couldn't help it—

If she can't see him in person and confirm whether he is indeed the Huo Yuhao from ten thousand years ago, she probably won't be able to concentrate on anything else right now.

Thus, the Silver Dragon Queen was completely absorbed in her turbulent thoughts and did not notice...

Her feigned nonchalance and indifferent questioning demeanor had vanished without a trace, disappearing from her eyes and brows.

Mo Yuan's gaze swept lightly over her fingers that were unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes, then over her slightly flushed cheeks and those unnatural purple eyes.

This appearance...

The more I look at it, the less it seems like they're inquiring about a fellow disciple within the Spirit Pagoda; rather, it seems like...

A shy, hesitant girl, preoccupied with her own thoughts, eager to see her sweetheart.

Mo Yuan: She's never met Huo Yuhao, am I just imagining things?

Surely Huo Yuhao isn't some kind of human succubus who can steal the souls of other girls just by being heard of without ever seeing him?

"Oh, you mean Huo? He is indeed my disciple." After a brief moment of surprise and bewilderment, Mo Yuan smiled meaningfully. "Miss Gu, would you like to get to know this fellow disciple?"

Upon hearing Mo Yuan's voice, Gu Yuena realized that she seemed to be acting somewhat out of character.

So she resumed her initial composure and poise, then nodded slightly and explained:

"Yes, Master Mo. I've heard that he is the most talented core disciple in the history of the East Sea City Spirit Pagoda, so I was just a little curious."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan's face immediately lit up with a smile. After all, anyone who mentioned such a disciple would inevitably feel proud.

Then, he quickly and politely replied:

"Student Huo is indeed quite talented, but Miss Gu, as the personal disciple of the deputy tower master, is equally extraordinary."

At such a young age, he's already ranked high on the list of child prodigies; he's certainly no less impressive than him!

Gu Yuena: ...

Honestly, if she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have stood out too much at headquarters a couple of years ago, which led to her being placed on this inexplicable list.

Of course, outwardly she remained perfectly polite, nodding slightly:

"You flatter me, Master Mota."

After a brief moment of thought, Mo Yuan suggested to Gu Yuena:

Mo Yuan pondered for a moment, then proposed in a warm tone:

"You are all the most outstanding talents of this generation of the Spirit Pagoda. It would be good for you to get to know each other and exchange ideas."

How about I arrange for you to have a meal at the best restaurant in Donghai City?

"Then I'll have to trouble Master Mo."

……

That night, Gu Yuena boarded the Spirit Pagoda's special car alone and headed to the restaurant that Mo Yuan had reserved for her and Huo Yuhao.

They had originally agreed to travel together, but just before departure, Huo Yuhao hurriedly added her on social media and left a message saying that something came up and he wanted her to go ahead first.

The message was brief and the tone was ordinary, but Gu Yuena had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

As the light flashed past the car window, her thoughts drifted elsewhere.

—Is he deliberately keeping her hanging? Or...is he avoiding her?

Logically speaking, her greatest confidence in this trip should be that after being reborn as a human, her identity is flawless!

Even if he really was Huo Yuhao from ten thousand years ago, there was absolutely no way he could see through her true form.

If that's the case, why did he postpone the meeting? Was he genuinely unable to get away, or did he have another purpose?

Gu Yuena frowned slightly, her fingertips unconsciously tapping the phone screen.

No matter what, he was, on the surface, the personal disciple of the deputy tower master Leng Yaozhu, and his cultivation talent could be described as unparalleled genius.

Her human appearance is the envy of countless people of the same sex and the admiration of countless people of the opposite sex. It is difficult for many people of her age to even meet her.

He, on the other hand, was unhurried and told her to wait first.

What exactly is this person busy with?

Gu Yuena kept muttering to herself, and soon the car slowly came to a stop.

Outside the window, the warm light from the restaurant shone softly, illuminating her complex expression, which was half puzzled, half apprehensive, and also carried a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

After the door of the car was opened by the attendant of the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yuena leaned slightly and stepped out of the car.

She wore a moon-white knee-length dress, simple yet exquisite in style. The smooth silk fabric hugged the girl's budding curves, shimmering with a warm, pearly luster under the restaurant's porch lights.

This was one of the clothes that Brigitte had prepared for her, and Gu Yuena didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

This outfit perfectly complements her elegant and ethereal beauty.

Her silver hair cascaded down her shoulders like water, and her purple eyes appeared even more profound and captivating in the interplay of night and warm light.

Gu Yuena looked up and saw the renowned restaurant "Yundingxuan" in Donghai City.

The atmosphere here is very romantic and elegant, with diners dressed in lingerie chatting in hushed tones – most of them are men and women sitting face to face at the tables.

However, having only recently been reborn as a human, Miss Silver Dragon naturally lacked the emotional intelligence to realize the subtle reasons Mo Yuan had chosen this restaurant for them.

Moreover, she was about to meet Huo Yuhao, who was very likely the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago, and she had no mood to realize this at the moment.

She took a deep breath, lifted her skirt, and slowly stepped onto the steps leading to the door.

With every step I took, I could feel the gazes from all directions—gazes of amazement, admiration, and curiosity.

Gu Yuena gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, her palms slightly sweaty.

She wasn't stage-frightened.

Yes, it wasn't stage fright!

Led by the waiter, Gu Yuena walked towards the private room that Mo Yuan had reserved in the restaurant.

To her surprise, the restaurant waiter said that a male guest had already arrived in the private room.

No, what happened when something came up?

Gu Yuena always felt like she had been deceived by Huo Yuhao.

As she walked, she shook her head slightly, trying to banish from her mind the vivid scene of her confrontation with Huo Yuhao ten thousand years ago.

Soon, she arrived at the door of the private room.

After the waiter bowed respectfully and left, Gu Yuena remained in front of the closed door, mentally preparing herself.

Finally, she made up her mind, and slowly reached out with a slender hand to gently knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Upon hearing the sounds coming from inside the room, Gu Yuena's hand, which was on the door and ready to push it open, froze instantly.

Even though the voice has become much more childish...

But it can't be wrong!

Gu Yuena pushed open the door gently, her mind reeling, already having her answer.

Because at this moment, all four pieces of evidence are conclusive: the same name, the same martial spirit, the same appearance, and the same voice.

But it's alright... Right now, only she knows Huo Yuhao's true identity, while Huo Yuhao is unaware of her background!

The advantage lies with me!
