"What about my master's wife?"
Ma Xiaotao's voice couldn't help but rise a little.
Zhang Lexuan hesitated and said, "Vice President Cai should be the dean of the Spirit Department now. Dean Yan got into trouble, and Elder Mu said that Dean Yan needs to study with him again for a while."
"So it turns out my teacher was fired. That's all right then."
Ma Xiaotao suddenly lost interest and walked towards the soul guide elevator with an indifferent look on her face.
Zhang Lexuan looked at Ma Xiaotao's relaxed back and suddenly felt a little envious.
The vice-president of the Martial Spirit Department of Shrek Academy is usually a powerful figure at the Titled Douluo level.
I have been chosen by Mr. Mu. Can I really do the job well?
She suddenly remembered what Mr. Mu had said before: when the sun burns itself day after day, all that will be left in the end is only ashes.
Looking at the schoolmates who were laughing and walking towards the soul guide elevator at the same time, Zhang Lexuan felt the pressure in her heart becoming heavier.
……
In the imperial study of Xingluo Palace.
Xu Jiawei was still sitting behind his desk, meticulously reviewing the documents related to the Soul Master Competition that were sent to him by the various departments below.
Suddenly, the door of the study was slammed open.
A pretty figure, wearing the iconic yellow and purple uniform of the Xingluo Royal Academy, with her long purple hair neatly tied into a high ponytail, rushed in hurriedly.
Before the person appeared, a clear and urgent voice was heard.
"Brother, something big has happened. The secret guards we have stationed in the Duke of White Tiger's mansion have sent a secret message saying that a group of White Tiger guards have suddenly returned to the Duke's mansion, escorting something. It seems to be related to Dai Yueheng."
Xu Jiawei finished reviewing the last line of the document in his hand without any haste. Then he looked up at Xu Jiawei, who was sitting unceremoniously on the desk chair and pouring himself a cup of hot tea, which he drank for a long time.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's already happened, so we'll know sooner or later."
A smile appeared on Xu Jiawei's face.
"Before you arrived, the Duke of White Tiger's mansion sent someone to the Imperial Worship Hall to invite Senior Medical Immortal Douluo over. It seems that Dai Yueheng may have suffered some serious, incurable injury."
Xu Jiujiu's blue-purple eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
"So, Dai Hao's two sons are now in serious trouble? Doesn't that mean he has no successor?"
Dai Hao's own talent is not outstanding. If he had not found a new way, and if Xuanji Douluo of the Worship Hall had not been a close friend of the previous generation of White Tiger Duke, and had not given his late friend's dying wish, he would have strongly supported Dai Hao to take the throne.
Otherwise, after the death of the previous generation of White Tiger Duke, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion should have fallen apart long ago.
"It's hard to say." Xu Jiawei said in a deep voice, "I just know that Dai Yuheng did not appear in the Shrek Academy registration form this time.
We'll need to wait until Senior Medical Immortal returns to discuss what exactly happened. All I can say is that the current situation is becoming increasingly favorable for us."
Xu Jiujiu nodded, and then seemed to remember something, and said with some difficulty: "Royal brother, the person in charge of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in Xingluo City said that Master Lingbing is obsessed with the research of soul guides and does not care about worldly affairs.
I'm afraid we can only trade with his disciple Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy. Could that Master Lingbing actually be from Shrek Academy?"
Xu Jiawei shook his head and analyzed calmly, "If Master Lingbing had a deep connection with Shrek Academy, most of the soul guide designs he designed wouldn't be sold through the Nine Treasures Pavilion.
According to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, they only have a cooperative relationship with the other party. Rather, I am now very interested in the Huo Yuhao you mentioned.
As he spoke, Xu Jiawei took out a few registration forms from the pile of documents beside him and handed them to Xu Jiujiu.
Xu Jiujiu looked puzzled at first, but soon, those blue-purple eyes showed deep surprise.
"With his age and soul power, can he join the Shrek Academy's main team?"
Naturally, there wasn't much information on the registration form. It was just name, age, nationality, and a vague soul power level. There wasn't even a specific martial soul.
Xu Jiawei looked at her surprised expression and said softly, "Before you came here, you must have heard the rumors about Shrek Academy."
She frowned for a long time, and after a few seconds, her pretty face turned red for no reason.
"Royal brother, do you still believe this? Do you believe that Huo Yuhao is the transformed form of a hundred-thousand-year-old immortal grass? It's just a case of three people making a tiger. If that were true, would Shrek Academy still dare to let him participate in the Soul Master Competition?"
The rumors from the outside world have become increasingly outrageous, even to the point that Huo Yuhao is the incarnation of a hundred thousand year old immortal grass.
Some people even swore that the daughter of the aunt of their third uncle's second cousin had studied in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy, saying that even if the young man smelled the food, he would live longer.
All we can say is that the general public just likes this and doesn't even care about the underlying logic.
After all, Shrek Academy has always been at the center of public opinion, and with the addition of some romantic elements, the speed of spread is naturally very fast.
Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "True or false, it doesn't matter. I just suspect that the person Dai Huabin sent to assassinate at Shrek Academy was this Huo Yuhao.
After all, they are of similar age and should have entered the same class. So it is reasonable that something happened in the college that caused Dai Huabin to hold a grudge against him.
Dai Yueheng must have had some problems on the way here, resulting in serious injuries. Coincidentally, Huo Yuhao was in Shrek's main team.
"The two sons of the Dai family both want to deal with the same person. What's the reason behind this?"
Xu Jiujiu shook his head subconsciously. "We only knew before that Dai Huabin sent someone to assassinate a disciple of a Poseidon Pavilion elder, but we never knew who it was."
For Shrek Academy, blocking information within its own sphere of influence was a simple matter. The information that could be disclosed to other factions was only what they were willing to reveal.
After Xu Jiawei tapped his fingers lightly on the table a few times, his eyes became deep.
"I have decided to hold a banquet tomorrow night in the top-floor banquet hall of the Star Emperor Hotel and invite the leaders of each participating college team to attend.
This also provides a suitable occasion for us to talk with Huo Yuhao and understand the situation. When the time comes, I will have to ask Jiujiu for your help."
Xu Jiujiu's mouth corners twitched slightly, and he naturally understood what his brother meant.
"Royal brother, those are just rumors. How could such a thing happen? Do the female students of Shrek Academy even care about their dignity?
Huo Yuhao isn't really a Hundred Thousand Years Immortal Grass, so how could anyone possibly want to do such an unspeakable thing to him? "
However, Xu Jiujiu finally agreed. Although she complained, she knew that this was her responsibility as a princess of the Xingluo royal family.
Chapter 146 Guess who didn’t receive an invitation
White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
The sunlight shines on the glazed tiles, making them sparkle.
The golden palace roof and the vermilion gate, each of them exudes an antique style, making the architectural complex of this mansion more magnificent and solemn.
However, the atmosphere in the mansion was filled with a strange sense of oppression.
Duke Dai Hao had clearly returned to the mansion a few days ago, and the palace had been decorated with lanterns and a grand banquet was held to welcome him. But now, the servants in the mansion walked with their heads lowered, not daring to make the slightest sound.
In a very gorgeously decorated room somewhere in the mansion.
Dai Hao stood with his hands behind his back, his usually resolute face now covered with gloomy clouds.
Beside him, the Duchess, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was wiping the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief. Her eyes, which should have been elegant and noble, were now red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.
An old woman with a haggard face was sitting on a chair beside the bed. The soft green light in her hand gradually faded, but her furrowed brow did not relax.
"I've already cleared most of the corpse poison for him. But some has already invaded his flesh and bones. He can only rely on himself to slowly expel it with his soul power. This process will probably take one to two years.
As for the corrosive injuries he suffered, they will need to be repaired by the body itself, and he will recover slowly over the next few months. Because the toxins were about to invade his brain, even if I treated him, he would probably need to be in a coma for several weeks before waking up.
After respectfully seeing off the Medical Immortal Douluo, the Duchess could no longer suppress her inner grief and threw herself on the bed, bursting into tears.
"My Yuheng, my son! Who could be so cruel to have brought him to this state?"
Listening to his wife's shrill crying, Dai Hao felt a headache.
Especially when he thought of the contents of the secret letter that Durex had sent to him urgently, his face turned ashen in an instant.
"Shut up." He snapped. "Does crying and whining solve the problem? You might as well take a good look at the two good sons you raised.
"They're all so stupid, they actually dare to plot against Shrek Academy. I think your good son wants to get rid of Huo Yuhao again. What have you done to Yun'er in the past few years?"
The Duchess cried even louder when she heard this.
"Dai Hao, do you care so much about that maid giving birth to a child? I am your legitimate wife, and Yaoheng and Huabin are the direct descendants of our White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
In the end, it was all because of that damned maid-son that you ended up like this. You are now taking your anger out on us because of that maid-son, right? Look at what Yaoheng looks like now. Do you think that damned maid-son still has any affection for you and this family?"
"you……"
Dai Hao became increasingly irritated.
He had no intention of returning from the border early this time.
When Dai Huabin got into trouble before, he was unable to escape because of the tense military situation.
But it was also at that time that he forced the Duchess to reveal the fact that Huo Yuhao was Huo Yun'er's son.
A son who is more talented than Dai Yuheng and even Dai Huabin.
He had planned to find an opportunity to deal with this matter and repair the relationship between father and son during this Soul Master Competition.
Before he could take any action, Dai Yuheng got into this kind of trouble again.
Now that he heard his wife's words, he couldn't help but wonder whether Huo Yuhao would return to his roots.
Before he could figure out what was going on, a notice came from outside the door that His Majesty Xuanji had arrived for a visit.
A gleam of light flashed in Dai Hao's eyes. Seeing that his wife was still crying, he was also upset. He turned around and left the room and went to the living room.
Not long after, Dai Hao saw an old man in his seventies standing in the reception room.
He quickly put on his usual smile, took a few steps forward, and said hesitantly, "Uncle Xuanji, why are you here? What's the matter with visiting me?"
Xuanji Douluo sighed secretly, then said straight to the point: "I know everything about Yaoheng."
Upon hearing this, Dai Hao said in a deep voice, "Yueheng has always been a calm person. To make him act so radically, something must have happened that I'm not aware of."
"That's why I rushed here after receiving Durex's secret letter. Your youngest son angered Shrek Academy, and now Yaoheng is acting like this. Doesn't your White Tiger Dukedom have a thousand-year-old friendship with Shrek Academy?"
Xuanji Douluo's tone was rarely mixed with anger. He simply couldn't understand why Dai Hao's two sons would do such stupid things one after another.
By the time Dai Hao finished hesitatingly explaining the whole story, Xuanji Douluo's face darkened.
He knew clearly that Dai Hao had two good deeds that had been widely circulated in the Xingluo Empire.
One is that Dai Hao joined the army under a false name when he was young, and gradually became the commander of the corps with his outstanding military achievements.
It was not until he was transferred back to the imperial capital to take up his post and accepted the reward from the Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei that his identity was recognized by coincidence, and he later became the Imperial Marshal.
But Xuanji Douluo knew that this was all bullshit.
The title of Duke of White Tiger must be inherited by the bloodline of the Dai family. Whoever inherits the Duke of White Tiger will naturally control the Western Army Group.
