Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

"To prevent Dai Huabin from going back on his word, I made sure to keep written evidence. Here is the contract and the image-keeping device from when I made the bet with Dai Huabin."

Actually, I didn't think Dai Huabin would keep his promise, so my original plan was to send copies of the evidence to Xingluo City.

By passing them on to the new royal faction nobles who are tied to the current royal family, Dai Huabin, as Dai Hao's eldest son, can influence the prestige of the White Tiger Duke to some extent.

These new imperial factions will certainly not let this opportunity slip by. They will seize this chance to weaken the White Tiger lineage without paying anything, while simultaneously currying favor with the royal family.

Huo Yuhao's tone was calm, but Xian Lin'er and Fan Yu could hear the unwavering determination in it.

Xianlin'er and Fanyu believed that if Huo Yuhao encountered Dai Huabin in the wilderness, he would definitely kill him without hesitation.

Xian Lin'er and Fan Yu fully agreed with Huo Yuhao's determination. Dai Huabin's sending someone to assassinate Huo Yuhao was an irreconcilable enmity.

Although Dai Huabin is young, that is not an excuse to shirk responsibility.

Moreover, as the son of the Duke of Baihu, Dai Huabin should be more mature than his peers given his powerful family background.

Both morally and logically, Dai Huabin must pay the price.

However, Huo Yuhao's understanding greatly exceeded their expectations. Fan Yu couldn't help but ask, "A new royal faction? Yuhao, do you think there's still an old royal faction in the Star Luo Empire?"

Fan Yu had lived to be forty-six years old and still possessed excellent abilities, so his vision was naturally broad enough.

He was also aware that the Star Luo Empire had a new royal faction that protected the Xu family and an old royal faction that revived the Dai family.

However, it's normal for him to know these things, but it's very abnormal for Huo Yuhao to know them.

Huo Yuhao, with neither background nor strength, was able to see the potential antagonism between the Xu and Dai families at such a young age; his vision was simply terrifying.

"Is there anything strange about this? Four thousand years ago, the White Tiger royal family claimed to have abdicated voluntarily, but it was simply because the royal bloodline had been nearly wiped out by the Sun Moon Empire, leaving them with no choice but to do so."

The Star Luo Empire is the closest of the three great empires to the Sun Moon Empire, with their borders adjacent to each other, and they have suffered the greatest impact.

Given the turbulent situation in the Star Luo Empire at that time, the White Tiger lineage was like a candle flame in the wind that could be easily extinguished.

If the Dai family wants to continue its lineage, it must abdicate. This will not only give them a good reputation but also allow them to leverage the new emperor's influence to further their development and regain their former glory.

Fan Yu looked astonished, while Xian Lin'er cast an admiring glance at him, "Yu Hao, you are not only exceptional in talent, but also exceptional in yourself."

The appearance of such a powerful martial soul with such extreme attributes in you is less a gift from heaven and more like a wise bird choosing a good tree to perch on.

"Dean, you flatter me."

"Yuhao, you don't need to be modest; this is not an exaggeration."

At this point, Xian Lin'er abruptly changed the subject, her expression turning slightly curious as she said:

"However, Yuhao, I have another question. How do you know which nobles belong to the new royal faction and which powerful figures belong to the old royal faction?"

"I really don't know that, but I just need to send this evidence to Starlight Auction House under the guise of intelligence. Selling information is one of the auction house's businesses."

"That's indeed a good idea," Xianlin'er nodded. "But how can you be sure there aren't any members of the old royal faction within the Starlight Auction House who might be hiding this evidence?"

"It's no secret that Starlight Auction House has a top auctioneer named Jiu Jiu, who is also the younger sister of the Star Luo Emperor."

Moreover, the profits that auction houses can make will inevitably be firmly controlled by the royal family, and as the largest auction house in Starlight Auction House, it must be backed by the royal family.

Before Xian Lin'er could ask, Huo Yuhao, as if reading her mind, added:

"I was born in Xingluo City. My mother was a servant in a top-level noble family, and it was at that time that I came into contact with this information by chance."

Xian Lin'er nodded in sudden realization. That made sense, since the information she had seen before described Huo Yuhao as an orphan.

She was still wondering how Huo Yuhao, as an orphan, had come into contact with a top-tier auction house like Starlight Auction House.

It turns out his mother had only passed away in recent years, which makes sense now.

There are only a few top nobles in Xingluo City. As for who they are, since Huo Yuhao didn't say it explicitly, it means he doesn't want to say, and Xian Lin'er won't ask.

After hearing Huo Yuhao's plan, Xian Lin'er's voice carried a hint of regret, "So it seems that even without us, you can easily solve this."

"Dean, this is different." Huo Yuhao shook his head with a light laugh.

Although the results were the same, he verified something more important.

He saw it clearly: the trigger condition for Xianlin'er's [Mechanical Spirit] was:

Fighting for you from the bottom of my heart

This tells us two things: first, the red text will not appear automatically; it requires certain conditions to be met.

Secondly, Xian Lin'er's actions were heartfelt; she genuinely wanted to stand up for him. This was far more important to Huo Yuhao than how much help she could provide.

"My plan consists of nothing more than spreading the bet."

After all, I couldn't produce any decent evidence for the subsequent assassination attempt, and without physical evidence, it's difficult to determine the veracity of a statement based solely on testimonies.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xian Lin'er instantly understood his meaning, frowned, and shook her head.

"We can't do anything about the evidence. Before the operation, these assassins destroyed everything that could prove their identities."

Their storage soul tools only contained some ordinary supplies, which were completely useless.

"I see." Huo Yuhao was not disappointed; he had expected this.

As members of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, they certainly possessed the most basic qualities for assassination. If it weren't for the special martial souls and soul skills in Douluo Continent, they wouldn't even be able to extract a confession.

"Yuhao, you don't need to worry about this. I'll make a copy of the evidence; none of the bets on it will go unclaimed!"

Fan Yu's eyes sharpened, and he immediately took out the same type of image-recording soul tool and soul guide paper to make a rubbing.

Regardless of whether Dai Huabin is the son of the White Tiger Duke, anyone who dares to touch his disciple will have to bear his wrath.

There are only a handful of level eight Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent, and in some ways, Fan Yu's status is even more prestigious than Dai Hao's.

That's right, this contract paper is not ordinary paper; it is also a soul tool, belonging to the lowest-level, unranked soul tool, which can only be used when paired with a corresponding soul tool pen.

The advantage is that when a backup is needed, you can simply take out the same type of contract paper, infuse it with soul power, and tap it to make a backup.

"Alright, Yuhao, you should go back now. Remember to do your best in the competition the day after tomorrow," Xian Lin'er said to Huo Yuhao with gentle eyes.

"The match the day after tomorrow? What match?" Huo Yuhao was stunned, somewhat confused.

"You'll find out in the selection process."
