The second is that Dai Hao loved only one person in his life and treated the Duchess with respect.
And now, an illegitimate child suddenly appears?
If you can’t control your lower body, then don’t fucking spread that bullshit out there!
Dai Hao looked at Xuanji Douluo's unusually ugly expression and could only sigh softly as he explained:
"Uncle Xuanji, I really didn't know Yun'er had given birth to a son for me. You also know that I have been guarding the West for many years, and I have brought all the White Tiger Guards to the Western Army Group.
I've entrusted everything in this mansion to Madam, and she's done a great job, making it so worry-free that I've completely lost control of it."
Even the old servants in the mansion that he was familiar with had passed away at some point, and when asked, they just said that they had retired and returned home.
I think it was all the work of his wife.
"But even if Yun'er and her son aren't having a good time in the mansion, Huo Yuhao is my son after all. Could he still want to deal with me as his father? Blood is thicker than water, can he really deny it?"
Hearing Dai Hao's words, Xuanji Douluo's face turned even darker.
He had only learned from Durex's secret letter that the situation was urgent and that the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had once again provoked Shrek Academy.
It now appears that the trouble is much bigger than he had imagined.
With a dark face, he said bluntly, "Dai Hao, have you been a marshal for too long? Do you think that if you just wave your arm, others will respond to you with overwhelming support?
The incidents involving Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng were obviously caused by Huo Yuhao. "If you want to recognize them, does that mean they will definitely recognize you?"
Dai Hao wanted to refute but he didn't have time to say it.
Xuanji Douluo took the lead and shouted, "Before I came here, I heard that Xu Jiawei was planning to hold a banquet at the Xinghuang Hotel tomorrow night. Guess whether he invited you."
Originally, Xuanji Douluo just thought that the Xingluo royal family simply wanted to take this opportunity to win over the hearts of the academies in various places, and by the way, show the strength of the empire in front of the elites of the entire continent.
But now it seems that things are far from that simple.
I'm afraid the Xingluo royal family has already learned of Huo Yuhao's identity and is ready to take this opportunity to take action against the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
Dai Hao's expression changed instantly.
He would come back from the border early, not only to meet Dai Huabin, but also because of the summons from the Xingluo royal family.
Otherwise, according to his original plan, he would just come back before the finals, show his face and end the trip.
Now, after hearing what Xuanji Douluo said, Dai Hao suddenly realized how passive the situation he had fallen into was.
"But even I only recently learned about this from my wife. Where did Xu Jiawei get the information? Besides, even if the Xingluo royal family wanted to contact that rebellious son, shouldn't they do it secretly?"
Xuanji Douluo glanced at him and cursed in his heart, "You don't know that you have had an illegitimate child for more than ten years, and you are still proud of it, right?"
"We must always prepare for the worst. Even if Xu Jiawei doesn't know, can't Huo Yuhao take the initiative to find the Xingluo Royal Family? Shrek Academy can't do anything about this, but what about the Xingluo Royal Family?
This is a blatant conspiracy. How can you break it? Are you planning to cause a scene at the banquet? I even doubt you can even see Huo Yuhao right now. After all, you personally handed such a fine knife to Xu Jiawei. Guess what he will do?
Dai Hao's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He finally realized the seriousness of the situation and said in a dry voice, "Uncle Xuanji, save me."
Xuanji Douluo's resolute voice suddenly rang out in the reception room.
"The simplest solution is to send your wife and two sons to Huo Yuhao and have them kowtow and apologize for the Duchess's harsh treatment of his mother."
Dai Hao's face flushed instantly, and he angrily said, "After doing this, how can I, Dai Hao, establish my authority in the army in the future? And how will the soldiers view me as the commander?
I'm afraid this will directly undermine the ten thousand year old foundation of our White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Besides, no matter how talented Huo Yuhao is, he's just a child now. What can he accomplish?"
Xuanji Douluo looked at his furious expression and just nodded calmly.
He naturally knew that Dai Hao would never agree to this proposal.
No matter what, the Duchess was married to him in a formal ceremony. She was also the legitimate daughter of the main branch of the Zhu family and an important link in maintaining the relationship between the two families.
But he said this simply to lift the roof and prepare for opening the windows below.
Xuanji Douluo placed his palm on his neck and gently stroked it, with cold murderous intent in his eyes.
“As you said, at his age, he is at most a Soul Master. Even if his martial soul is of extremely high quality and his actual combat strength is comparable to that of a Soul King, he is already extremely talented.
It will take at least a decade for him to grow to the point where he can threaten the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Therefore, the sooner he is eliminated, the better for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."
The anger on Dai Hao's face froze, replaced by a look of deep hesitation.
His youngest son, Dai Huabin, was naturally gifted. Before he was twelve years old, he had already reached the 34th level of soul power. Even the ancestor Dai Mubai who lived ten thousand years ago could not match his talent.
But now that Dai Huabin has been disabled, and even because his spiritual sea has been damaged, he may only be able to live for another ten years at most. This requires the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to continuously provide natural treasures to nourish his spiritual sea.
His original plan was to find a way to win back Huo Yuhao, the illegitimate son who was accepted as a personal disciple by the elder of the Sea God Pavilion.
Perhaps with this relationship, he might be able to re-plan his claim to the throne of the Xingluo Emperor.
But now...
Xuanji Douluo was even more furious when he saw the ever-changing expression on Dai Hao's face.
If he hadn't received the dying instruction from the previous generation of Duke White Tiger, he would not have gotten involved in this mess.
"A true man should make decisive decisions. One of your sons was crippled because of him, and another was seriously injured. Do you still think you can reconcile with Huo Yuhao and be a loving father and filial son? I bet you don't even know where his mother is right now."
Dai Hao's expression instantly became somewhat awkward. Xuanji Douluo's words undoubtedly touched his sore spot.
He soon stopped hesitating and said in a deep voice, "But now in Xingluo City, how can we put him to death?
Not to mention the Shrek Academy's team leader, who is probably a Super Douluo. If we fail, the consequences will be disastrous. Once the opponent returns to the academy, we will have no chance to attack."
Seeing that he finally gave in, Xuanji Douluo slowly told him the plan he had just come up with.
"I will ask Xu Jiawei for permission to referee the semi-finals of this Soul Master Competition. Soul skills are blind in the competition. Even if the students from other academies can't kill Huo Yuhao during the competition, as long as they can severely injure him and cripple him, our goal will be achieved."
The Soul Master Competition can be traced back to the reign of the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago.
At that time, the rules of the competition still required avoiding injuring the opponent. If the opponent was even killed, the academy to which the soul master belonged would not only have to pay compensation but would also be directly expelled from the Soul Master Competition.
But now, after thousands of years of evolution, the Soul Master Competition has become a stage for the academies under each empire to demonstrate their strength.
Although students from each academy will try their best to restrain themselves and avoid killing their opponents during the competition due to the rules, injuries and disabilities are not uncommon in every competition, and it all depends on the referee's control over the competition process.
Dai Hao's eyes also lit up slightly. It was obvious that Xuanji Douluo's approach was very clever.
The only thing he needed to worry about was Shrek Academy holding him accountable after the game.
But Xuanji Douluo himself is a Titled Douluo of level 94, and he also holds a high position in the Xingluo Empire's Hall of Worship. Even if he is held accountable, he will probably only be compensated with some resources.
"Uncle Xuanji, our White Tiger Duke's Mansion has been passed down for ten thousand years. We will naturally not embarrass you when the time comes. We will also compensate you for any claims from Shrek Academy."
Xuanji Douluo nodded, a teachable expression on his face.
"That's great. I'll consult Xu Jiawei soon. But Dai Hao, now that one of your sons is disabled and the other is seriously injured, I think you'd better train a new heir. This huge White Tiger Duke Mansion still needs someone to inherit it."
As a close friend of the former Duke of White Tiger, he naturally did not want to see the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion decline.
Chapter 147 Will the young boy wake up in the princess's bed?
Dai Hao looked a little embarrassed, but he still lowered his head slightly and said, "Dai Hao will remember Uncle Xuanji's advice in his heart.
Although Yaoheng is severely injured, he will recover in a year or two after receiving treatment from the Medical Immortal Douluo. I will also keep him by my side and personally train him as my successor.
Hearing this, Xuanji Douluo's expression also became strange.
Durex's previous secret letter was written so urgently that he thought Dai Yuheng was dying. Even if he could be saved, he would only be a useless person in the future.
So, he spoke softly, "That's the best. I won't stay any longer. But besides the recent events at Shrek Academy, I'm afraid the Xingluo Royal Family will also take action against you. It's best not to reveal anything."
Dai Hao nodded and personally escorted Xuanji Douluo out of the Duke's Mansion.
Only when he returned to the mansion did he breathe a sigh of relief, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
But his eyes became colder.
Huo Yuhao, if I have to blame anyone, I can only blame you for being so cruel.
He could be so cruel even to his own brother.
If you don't die, the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion will probably never have peace.
……
In the Xinghuang Hotel, in the Shrek Academy's dedicated conference room.
At the long conference table, everyone except Gu Yuena had already taken their seats.
Zhang Lexuan, who was sitting in the first seat, looked at everyone who had rested for a night and found that their complexions had become better.
Especially when she saw that Huo Yuhao did not look as haggard as he did yesterday after being carefully cared for by Xian Lin'er all night, she nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her gentle face.
"It seems everyone had a good rest after not making a fuss last night."
Except for Xixi, Gongyang Mo and Yao Haoxuan who were unaware of the situation, everyone else present had a slightly blushing face, obviously understanding what the senior sister was referring to.
Xian Lin'er's eyebrows were raised. Last night she finally understood why Huo Yuhao always looked so fragile.
These youngsters don't know how to take care of others, they are just bullying him!
But it's also his fault that his disciple is too attractive. Just coordinating the relationships between these girls is probably a headache.
To sum up, Ma Xiaotao and her group of girls accounted for 99% of the mistakes.
Zhang Lexuan looked calm as she continued to preside over the meeting: "The Soul Master Competition will be held as scheduled in three days. There are a total of 133 colleges participating in this competition.
The first round of the preliminary competition will be a seven-on-seven team battle, and as the previous champion, our school will be the first to perform as a warm-up for the competition.
Most of the regular team members present had participated in the previous Soul Master Competition and were familiar with this process.
As long as they don't draw a strong team of the Royal Academy level from other empires, they will be able to beat them without any suspense with the strength of several regular players and the preliminaries.
As Zhang Lexuan continued to introduce the subsequent competition process, after the first round, the teams would be regrouped and enter the round-robin competition.
The round-robin tournament adopts a random competition system, with random draws from three modes: single elimination, three-on-two cooperative battle mode, and seven-on-seven team battle.
After Zhang Lexuan finished her introduction, Ma Xiaotao asked anxiously, "Senior Sister, how do we arrange the first match?"
Ma Xiaotao missed the last Soul Master Competition because of the evil fire problem. Now the evil fire no longer poses a big problem to her. It has even become a little fun to liven up the atmosphere between her and Huo Yuhao.
She naturally wanted to make her debut as soon as possible so that her name, the Fire Phoenix, could resound throughout Xingluo City.
"Xiao Tao, please listen to me first." Zhang Lexuan took out a beautifully crafted invitation from her storage soul guide and said softly to everyone.
"This is an invitation from the Xingluo Royal Family. It's supposedly to give the principals of each academy team an opportunity to exchange ideas before the competition officially begins. It's tonight in the banquet hall on the top floor of the hotel.
Each academy has one leading teacher and two students. If it were just that, it wouldn't matter, but the Xingluo Royal Family has specially invited you, Yuhao, to participate."
