Huo Yun'er immediately looked anxious, but she knew she had no power to help Dai Hao, so she could only turn to the powerful old mage for help. She said in an extremely earnest tone, "Elder Yi, Brother Hao is injured. Can you help him?"
Electrolux sighed inwardly, knowing that the other party still couldn't let go of Dai Hao. However, he didn't have any intention of blaming the other party. Passionate love can make people blind. Even he himself was blinded by love back then, which ultimately led to the massacre of his entire family.
If Huo Yun'er doesn't see Dai Hao's true colors, she will indeed continue to think about Dai Hao, just as Yu Hao thought.
He shook his head and said firmly, "I will not help him."
"But, Hao-ge is ultimately..."
Before she could finish speaking, Electrolux interrupted her, "Huo Yun'er, I hope you will watch quietly, because Dai Hao will answer some questions next. After he finishes answering those questions, you will know his true colors and change your mind."
true colors?
Huo Yun'er was a little confused. In her impression, Brother Hao was an exceptionally good man, both inside and out.
Although he and Xiao Yuhao were constantly suppressed by the Duchess and could not even see Hao-ge, their lives were extremely miserable.
However, in her mind, the bad guy was the Duchess, not Hao Ge.
Chapter 602 exposes Dai Hao's true colors!
Outside, Huo Yuhao, dressed in a black robe, had his soul power fluctuating around his vocal cords. His deep voice, unlike his usual one, resonated in the air: "First question, did you ever love Huo Yun'er?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Hao was somewhat bewildered. He had assumed that the other party was trying to gather military intelligence, which was why they were asking him such a strange question.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally said firmly, "I loved you."
"You're lying!" Huo Yuhao, with his divine sense, could naturally sense Dai Hao's lie.
The next moment, Ye Yulin directly attacked one of the White Tiger Guards. With a soft "poof," golden light descended, and the White Tiger Guard's head exploded in the golden light. His bloodied corpse fell to the ground.
"Ye Yulin, how dare you kill my personal guard right in front of me!" Dai Hao roared in fury.
The other Star Luo people also glared angrily, and the atmosphere, which had just eased slightly, became tense again.
"Marshal Dai, I warned you before that you should answer the questions honestly, otherwise I would kill one of your men as punishment."
"That was the first one. If you want me to continue helping you eliminate your subordinates, I'd be happy to oblige." Ye Yulin said calmly.
For him, killing a White Tiger Guard was nothing, as simple as eating and drinking.
Upon hearing this, Dai Hao's face grew even more gloomy.
Actually, he initially had some wishful thinking, believing that he was just telling a lie and that it wouldn't be a big deal and that the other party wouldn't find out.
After all, he was a Title Douluo; even if he were lying, how easy would it be to detect?
But he didn't expect that the other party actually had the means to determine whether he was lying.
Is it a soul skill?
But the black-robed man in front of us didn't use any soul skills.
He took a deep breath, feeling he had to tell the truth.
Otherwise, if things continue like this, the hope of breaking through will become increasingly slim.
It should be noted that even though they had four Title Douluos and a group of Star Luo elites, they were still being suppressed and beaten.
Only by buying time for everyone to recover can there be any hope of survival.
Although he had shown his love for Huo Yun'er in front of others, and even repaired Huo Yun'er's tomb.
But he did this simply to establish a deeply affectionate image in front of others, because no one likes to follow a heartless and ungrateful person.
Of course, he had another purpose: to bring his outstanding son, Yuhao, back to the Dai family.
"I have never loved Huo Yun'er," Dai Hao said calmly.
"Why? Haven't you always claimed to love her?" Huo Yuhao continued to ask.
"Why..." Dai Hao took a deep breath and revealed the truth with some helplessness: "I was just playing around, how could I take it seriously?"
"Why don't you take it seriously? Why don't you give Huo Yun'er a proper status?" Huo Yuhao continued to press, his tone quite inquisitive.
Of course, he had long known that Dai Hao didn't love Huo Yun'er at all, and he had expected Dai Hao to tell the truth.
The reason for asking these questions was simply to let Huo Yun'er in the undead demiplane hear Dai Hao's answer later.
Dai Hao glanced at the man in black robes with some surprise and sighed, "Since you were able to ask questions about Huo Yun'er, I think you should also know about Huo Yun'er's past."
She was merely a head maid in the Duke's mansion; in terms of status alone, she was a household slave, essentially one of the Duke's assets.
I am the Duke of White Tiger, who enjoys His Majesty's deep trust and is a high-ranking noble in the empire. If I take this relationship seriously and give her a title, I will be harming the interests of the Dai family.
After all, if a maid can rise so high and gain a title, wouldn't other noble ladies, or even royal princesses, feel that marrying me would be an insult to themselves and their families?
The Dai family is strong, but not strong enough.
A marriage alliance is undoubtedly one of the most effective ways to secure the interests of the Dai family.
However, I never expected His Majesty to bestow the princess upon me in marriage. If it weren't to put His Majesty at ease, I should have followed in the footsteps of my ancestors and married a woman from the Zhu family.
Why did you give the White Tiger Dagger to Huo Yun'er?
"White Tiger Dagger?" Dai Hao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and tried to explain as much as possible with the truth in order to buy some more time.
"To be honest, the reason I gave Huo Yun'er the White Tiger Dagger was simply because I was drinking Shrek Academy's fine wine and got a little drunk. I didn't use my soul power to sober up and said some drunken things. I gave her the White Tiger Dagger and then felt embarrassed to ask for it back."
Anyway, it's just a level 5 melee soul tool. With the Dai family's wealth, it's nothing. Besides, what's a maid's is mine. If anyone asks, I can just say that I asked Huo Yun'er to keep it safe.
Anyway, in front of others, a maid like Huo Yun'er, with her deeply servile nature, would definitely consider my needs in everything she did.
Huo Yuhao listened to Dai Hao's words without being surprised by Dai Hao's ruthlessness.
He remembered that when Huo Yun'er was two years old, the Duchess said that Huo Yun'er was suffering from a serious illness and sent Huo Yun'er and her son to live in the woodshed behind the servants' quarters. Dai Hao never came to see them again.
Although Dai Hao had to go out to fight, there were no large-scale battles, so he couldn't stay away all the time. Sometimes Dai Hao would bring some people home with him.
Dai Hao did inquire about Huo Yun'er's whereabouts, and he estimated that her intentions were merely driven by lust. However, the Duchess repeatedly advised Dai Hao not to go, citing Huo Yun'er's serious illness and the fear that she might infect Dai Hao.
Then Dai Hao really didn't go.
Even though Dai Hao had not yet become a Title Douluo at that time, he was still a Soul Douluo.
With the physical abilities of a Contra user, the so-called serious illness would be like a raging flood to ordinary people, but for Dai Hao, it would have no effect whatsoever.
Moreover, given the White Tiger Duke's wealth, it wouldn't be difficult to hire a support-type or food-type Soul Master skilled in healing to come to the Duke's mansion and give Huo Yun'er a treatment. It's just that the Duke is too lazy to do so.
After all, in Dai Hao's eyes, Huo Yun'er was just a maid.
The remaining Star Luo army was somewhat confused at this moment, feeling that this White Tiger Duke was a stranger.
It's completely different from the deeply affectionate image the other person once projected.
Some of the White Tiger Guards even changed the way they looked at Dai Hao.
After all, if the Duke has said so, doesn't that mean that the deep affection he showed before was completely fake? If the affection was fake, then was his usual "genuine concern" for the soldiers also fake?
Dai Hao noticed the unusual activity in the army, but didn't pay much attention to it. He knew he would have a way to suppress the spread of his words after successfully breaking through the encirclement.
At this moment, the one who is most hurt is Huo Yun'er in the undead demiplane.
She looked at Dai Hao in the mirror, his body, made of soul, trembling incessantly as if blown by a storm. Dai Hao's words had undoubtedly caused her great psychological trauma.
After all, she always believed that she and Dai Hao were in love, but it was only because of the Duchess's suppression that she could not be with him for a long time.
But Dai Hao's words just now shattered all her illusions!
Chapter 603 Dai Hao, prepare to die!
The other person never loved me at all; they were just toying with my feelings.
The sweet words spoken back then were all lies, and the vows of eternal love were also lies.
So-called love is nothing more than the other person's lies.
“I was so stupid, so stupid…” Her eyes gradually lost their light, and her voice became choked with sobs: “I thought Dai Hao loved me, and I was hoping that he, I, and Yu Hao could live together in the future.”
However, looking back now, I was too naive. He was full of lies, and I couldn't judge people well, which is why Yuhao's childhood was so painful.
"When the Duchess was constantly suppressing my son and me, I even told Yuhao that things would get better once his father returned. Looking back now... I was so ridiculous. I actually pinned my hopes on someone like Dai Hao!"
As she spoke, she closed her eyes in pain, her mind filled with memories of the past. As she thought about them, her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.
Electrolux looked at Huo Yun'er and seemed to see himself in her, after being betrayed by his lover years ago.
So he comforted her, saying, "Huo Yun'er, you don't need to blame yourself too much. People who are immersed in love are unlikely to see the true face of their lovers."
Furthermore, Dai Hao was a duke, and you were just a maid at the time. Even if you truly saw through his true colors, if he wanted to do something, what way could you possibly resist him?
The one who's wrong isn't you, it's Dai Hao who betrayed your sincere heart!
Upon hearing this, Huo Yun'er opened her eyes. After spending this time together, she had developed a great respect for this learned elder and was willing to listen to his advice, since his wisdom in life far surpassed her own.
She murmured unconsciously, "Old Yi, you're right. Dai Hao is wrong. He lied to me!"
As she spoke, she looked at Electrolux with pleading eyes: "Elder Electrolux, what do you think I should do now?"
Electrolux really wanted to say, "Of course, kill Dai Hao, and I'll help you," after all, when he took revenge back then, he chose to kill.
With his extensive knowledge and deep understanding of human nature, he knew that even if Huo Yun'er harbored hatred towards Dai Hao, she hadn't reached the point of wanting to kill him.
A person's character is formed over many years. Unless one experiences a drastic change such as being betrayed by a lover and having one's entire family wiped out, it is difficult for such a person to undergo a significant transformation.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's voice rang in Electrolux's ears. After listening to Huo Yuhao's words silently, he felt that he could implement the next plan according to the other party's words.
After all, Dai Hao, who was full of lies, certainly didn't want Huo Yun'er and her son to know that his lies had been exposed.
So he silently relayed Huo Yuhao's strategy: "Go confront Dai Hao and let him know that his lie to you has been exposed by himself."
"Okay." Huo Yun'er agreed immediately without the slightest hesitation.
Electrolux waved his staff, and a gate to the dead, emanating an aura of annihilation, slowly appeared: "Go, but I must remind you, the black-robed man who just questioned Dai Hao was Yu Hao!"
Huo Yun'er nodded vigorously, then walked into the Gate of the Dead.
Outside, Dai Hao stared in surprise at the black door behind Huo Yuhao, wondering to himself if it was a new soul tool developed by Sun Moon.
Suddenly, Huo Yun'er stepped out of the Gate of the Dead. Dai Hao's eyes widened instinctively, and he held his breath for a moment. He was somewhat incredulous: "Yun'er? Weren't you already dead?"
He observed Huo Yuhao, and with the eyesight of a Title Douluo, he quickly noticed the anomaly. His brows furrowed into a deep frown: "No, you don't seem to be made of flesh and blood. Instead, you resemble the vengeful spirit of an evil soul master. Could this be your soul?"
"Damn you Sun and Moon people, you extracted Yun'er's soul? It seems your cooperation with the evil soul masters is even closer than I imagined! You bunch of evil bastards, one day, a righteous person like me will give you a severe punishment!"
