I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

The next day, everyone gathered outside Shrek City. When the last person arrived on time, Elder Xuan also remembered the words he had spoken when Xu Xingyu participated in the Inner Academy assessment.

In addition, Dai Yueheng's personal remarks ignited a passion in the hearts of the reserve team members, who immediately agreed to Elder Xuan's request.

Only Wang Dong'er and Xu Yanxue, who already knew about this, didn't say much, at most replying with "join".

Looking at these adorable students who would support Shrek Academy in the future, Elder Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, and he sighed inwardly that the spirit of Shrek would indeed be passed down forever.

If Xu Xingyu could hear this, she would only think to herself, "No, it's that your Shrek deception skills will be passed down forever."

After receiving the declarations of all the reserve team members joining the Shrek Supervisory Group, the group set off for the venue of the Soul Master Competition, namely Star Luo City.

To make traveling easier, each selected member had to bring a reserve member with them, since even with flying soul tools, their speed wouldn't be very fast given their cultivation level.

Ma Xiaotao brought Xiao Xiao, Jiang Nannan brought Xu Yanxue, Dai Yueheng brought Huo Yuhao, Chen Zifeng brought Xu Sanshi, Gongyang Mo brought Bei Bei, Ling Luochen brought Wang Dong, and Xu Xingyu brought He Caitou.

While traveling, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but think back to this nominal hometown. You see, since his martial soul awakened, he has rarely been home, only occasionally taking time to visit his grandfather in this life.

It can be said that apart from her grandfather and his subordinates, Xu Xingyu doesn't have much affection for the Star Luo Empire. This may be because of her reincarnation, which makes Xu Xingyu feel little sense of belonging to the Star Luo Empire.

However, if the Star Luo Empire really runs into trouble, he will still have to step forward to help.

This was not because he considered the Star Luo Empire his home, but simply because he knew that his grandfather, as the hereditary duke of the Star Luo Empire, would never back down.

So Xu Xingyu had no choice but to go along with the other person's nonsense.

However, the Star Luo Empire wasn't without its headaches. Recalling the marriage contract that was forcibly arranged at birth, and the princess Xu Xingyu, he felt uneasy all over.

It would be a lie to say that I had no feelings for Xu Xingyu, but at most, she was the kind of friend I could talk to.

Besides, I already have enough people around me; having more would be inappropriate.

Having stopped thinking about how to handle her relationship with the princess, Xu Xingyu began to focus on her journey.

During this time, Xu Xingyu and He Caitou began to discuss which department to assign each other to and what kind of work each of them would need to do in the future.

Of course, this conversation was enveloped in soul power, since Shrek was unaware that He Caitou had already been directly taken away by their Spirit Pagoda.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and Dai Yueheng also began a very serious discussion.

After a brief silence, Dai Yueheng was the first to speak.

He said with certainty, "Huo Yuhao, you're Aunt Yun's son, right? Your birth name wasn't Huo Yuhao, it was Dai Yuhao, wasn't it?"

Huo Yuhao stubbornly retorted, "My surname is Huo, not Dai! Your Dai family doesn't acknowledge me, so aren't you ashamed to come looking for me now?!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's emotions becoming increasingly unstable, Dai Yueheng couldn't help but sigh and complain inwardly, "Why do I have to go through all this trouble to persuade this mess that my father, mother, and brother created?"

Dai Yueheng did not feel any ill will towards Huo Yuhao, his half-brother who suddenly appeared.

He is the kind of person who would never refuse anything that benefits his White Tiger family and the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Yueheng would not suppress such an outstanding younger brother as Huo Yuhao; on the contrary, he would persuade the family to focus on cultivating him.

Because his only concern is the continuation of his family, he will ignore the other party as long as they do nothing that would harm the family.

Even Dai Yueheng felt no aversion towards his younger brother, Dai Huabin, who had always coveted the right to inherit the Duke's mansion.

If the other party can truly do better than me, then why not entrust the future of the family to him?

He might just find a job at Shrek Academy then.

However, Huo Yuhao, the younger brother, has been persecuted by the family since childhood due to his mother's jealousy, which has led to Huo Yuhao now standing on the opposite side of the family.

Because Dai Huabin was still young at the time of the incident, and didn't take it to heart, he had forgotten that he was the culprit who caused the other party's mother's death.

Their mother didn't tell them about this either, and Dai Yueheng knew it was purely because he had conducted his own investigation without his mother's knowledge.

Moreover, after her mother learned that Huo Yuhao was still alive, her first action was to send someone to assassinate him.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao has now become a key student being cultivated by Shrek Academy, so all those assassins are dead, and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion also received a warning from Shrek Academy.

To make matters worse, his own father, Duke White Tiger, found out about this. Upon learning that he had a son who had been persecuted since childhood, Duke White Tiger was deeply disturbed.

In response, Duke Baihu gave Dai Yueheng a strict order: he must bring the son back.

However, looking at Huo Yuhao in front of him, Dai Yueheng really suspected that the other party might immediately put on a show of fatherly love and filial piety when they met.

But thinking of his father's orders, Dai Yueheng could only say in a persuasive tone, "Yuhao, I know you are full of prejudice against the family because of what happened in the past, and it is true that the family has wronged you, but no matter how you deny it, blood is thicker than water. You are my younger brother, and I am your older brother."

"You can resent Hua Bin and my mother for what happened back then, but please don't involve the family."

"Regarding your situation, your father was always fighting on the front lines to protect our country, which led him to neglect your mother and ultimately caused that tragedy."

"But ever since he learned of your existence, Father has felt a deep sense of guilt. He doesn't expect your forgiveness, but please, at least talk to him once!"

Huo Yuhao did not immediately give an answer to Dai Yueheng's persuasion, but after a moment of silence, he replied: "I will consider it."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression, Dai Yueheng knew he hadn't succeeded in persuading him. However, whether Huo Yuhao would have the final say was another matter, since their first destination wasn't Xingluo City.
