After thinking it all through, Xu Jiawei finally couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

"It truly is fate and timing. No wonder Xuanji Douluo suddenly requested that I arrange for him to be the referee for the Soul Master Competition. So this is what he was planning. He really wants to drag our Xingluo Royal Family into this as well."

It can be said that Xuanji Douluo has the highest status and cultivation in the Xingluo Empire's royal worship hall, except for the chief and deputy hall masters and Shattered Star Douluo.

At that time, he was willing to condescend to serve as the referee of the Soul Master Competition to show the outside world the national strength of the Star Luo Empire. As the Star Luo Emperor, he was naturally extremely happy to do so.

But unexpectedly, this was also a trap set by the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion for him.

If Xuanji Douluo did anything to Huo Yuhao in the Soul Master Competition, he, the Star Luo Emperor, would probably be held accountable by Shrek Academy, and the relationship between the two families would even become worse.

Xuanji Douluo is still a member of the Xingluo royal family on the surface. When the time comes, he will have to protect him when facing pressure from Shrek Academy. He really has to swallow his anger.

"Yuhao, what are your plans next?" Xu Jiawei looked at Huo Yuhao, his tone becoming much more intimate. "If you need anything, we, the Xingluo Royal Family, can also provide a little help."

Now that the situation is clear, Xu Jiawei naturally wants to get rid of the major concern of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion as soon as possible.

With Huo Yuhao's powerful claim and the Dai family's ancestral tradition, he can completely minimize the impact caused afterwards.

If he doesn't do something he has been thinking about day and night soon, he will probably be unable to sleep or eat.

When the time comes, what kind of posthumous title should I give to my good brother Dai Hao?

Looking at Xu Jiawei's eager expression, Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched slightly, but he still spoke in a deep voice.

"Don't worry. As the saying goes, lure the snake out of its hole so you can catch it all in one fell swoop. The more desperate the other party is, the more flaws they will reveal. When we take action, our reputation will be more righteous."

Hearing this, Xu Jiawei realized that he was a little anxious. He leaned back on the sofa and laughed dumbly: "It seems that my Qi-cultivation skills are not as good as yours. It really is true that every generation has talented people.

You're also considered a citizen of our Xingluo Empire, and as the Xingluo Emperor, I'm also considered your half-elder. So, I'll just give you the long-gathered Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone from the Xingluo Treasury as a gift.

That soul bone imbued with the Ice Explosion soul skill is just right for your ice-attributed martial soul. I think Yuhao, you can also use this to shine in the upcoming soul master competition."

The more Huo Yuhao's talent was revealed, the more uneasy Dai Hao became.

In this way, the opponent is likely to lose his composure and use some stupid tricks.

By then, as long as he can catch the criminals red-handed, he can happily take over the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion.

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't refuse the generous gift. He nodded and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty."

It would naturally be a good thing for Huo Yuhao to be able to obtain the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone early.

The Extreme Ice Blooming soul skill that comes with his current Ice Dragon King martial soul essentially only possesses some of the characteristics of the Ice Explosion Technique.

This was more due to his understanding of the use of Ice Explosion Technique in his previous life, which was engraved on his soul.

Otherwise, how could the Ice Emperor, who did not have Ice Explosion in his innate skills, generate an Extreme Ice Bloom soul skill similar to Ice Explosion in his third soul ring?

If he could absorb the left arm bone of the Ice Scorpion and obtain the original Ice Explosion Soul Skill, the combination of the two might result in another degree of qualitative change, allowing his combat effectiveness to reach a higher level.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao did not refuse, Xu Jiawei's smile deepened.

The two continued to discuss briefly some follow-up details on how to deal with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Then Xu Jiawei stood up and smiled slightly.

"It's getting late, so I won't keep you any longer. I'll have Jiujiu deliver those two things to you tomorrow. I just hope our true cooperation can come soon."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

Huo Yuhao also stood up to return the greeting.

After Xu Jiawei personally escorted Huo Yuhao out of the room, he waited in another room for a long time before coming back in.

Xu Jiawei sat back on the sofa and took a sip of tea before he said softly, "Jiujiu, you've also been listening in on him for so long with the soul guide in the next room. Do you have any new opinions about him?"

Xu Jiujiu sat down on the sofa opposite Xu Jiawei without any hesitation, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup. After drinking it all, he said unhappily.

"What do you think? It's just his behavior and speech. He doesn't act like a child at all."

After a pause, he thought about the usual practices of the nobles towards illegitimate children, and his expression became a little complicated.

"He was able to come to this point today after going through so much hardship. Perhaps it is just as you said, my royal brother. It is fate's arrangement."

"Destiny?" Xu Jiawei murmured softly, put the teacup in his hand back on the coffee table, his eyes becoming deep.

"Previously, our Xingguan Sect used our astrological talents to conduct a divination once every hundred years within our ancestral land. The result was that our Xingguan Sect's opportunity would soon arrive in Xingluo City. Do you think this is truly fate?"

Astrological talent, this is the most unique feature of the Star Crown Martial Soul.

In the sect's ancestral land, by using the power of the stars to observe the night sky, one can receive guidance from the morning star.

Why did the Xingguan Sect, which was a hidden sect in the past, resolutely come out and lead the people of Xingluo to resist the invasion of the Sun and Moon Empire? It was because they were guided by the divination results.

It was also during that time that the Xingluo royal family changed, and the Xingguan Sect became the new master of the Xingluo Empire.

"Thinking too much is just asking for trouble. Our Star Crown Martial Spirit's astrological talent isn't always accurate." Xu Jiujiu smiled and shook his head, changing the subject.

"Rather, my royal brother, are you really planning to take that item out and put it up for auction this time? Although our ancestors have never been able to find a way to use it, what about in the future?"

Hearing this, Xu Jiawei shook his head slightly and tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers.

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. This is a rare treasure that our ancestors accidentally obtained thousands of years ago with the guidance of the morning star.

After all these years, it's been gathering dust in our Xingguan Sect's treasury. It's good to bring it out now to warm up the situation and let us know the extent of the Sun Moon Empire's Mingde Hall's research on soul guides."

Seeing that Xu Jiawei was determined, Xu Jiujiu stopped trying to persuade him.

Xu Jiujiu said softly, "But my royal brother, do we really have to obey Huo Yuhao's instructions regarding the handling of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion?

Shrek Academy is neutral on the surface, so it's hard to say how much help it can provide when the time comes."

Xu Jiawei's expression became more serious. He sat up straight again and his eyes became sharper.

"Didn't you say it yourself? You're openly neutral. If Shrek could get hold of something against you, they'd probably do something more ruthless than anyone else. Besides, do you really think that Huo Yuhao is just backed by Shrek Academy?

Because of Shrek Academy, we haven't been able to get any more useful information about the Spirit Pagoda that suddenly appeared outside the Star Dou Great Forest, but I think the mysterious Master Lingbing might be inside that Spirit Pagoda."

Xu Jiujiu's breathing paused slightly, and he immediately understood the connection.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

A smile returned to Xu Jiawei's face. "Aren't you going to bring Huo Yuhao a carving knife and spirit bones tomorrow? Then, please help me gather some useful information."

Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu looked at him suspiciously.

"Why didn't you just ask him directly?"

The smile on Xu Jiawei's face became more meaningful, and he spread his hands, looking as if it was a matter of course.

"When I heard Huo Yuhao's true identity a while ago, I was so overwhelmed that I forgot about it. I just remembered it now. Besides, Jiujiu, aren't you curious about him and want to know more about him?"

Xu Jiujiu was choked by his words, and immediately realized the teasing meaning in Xu Jiawei's words, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

"He already has a bunch of beautiful women around him, but he doesn't look down on your sister. Not to mention, do you want me to be his mistress?"

"I didn't say anything." Xu Jiawei looked at Xu Jiujiu's somewhat angry look and couldn't help laughing, but he didn't plan to say anything more.

As the Emperor of Xingluo, he naturally would not use his sister's lifelong happiness as a bargaining chip, otherwise his position as emperor would be in vain.

Chapter 154: Huo Yuhao, you don’t want to

By the time I returned to my room, it was almost late at night.

What happened throughout the night made Huo Yuhao feel a little tired.

He casually took off his overly formal dress coat and threw it at the end of the bed, then began to unbutton his shirt, just wanting to enjoy the rare time of rest alone.

Just then, there was an inopportune knock on the door.

dong dong dong-

Huo Yuhao paused in unbuttoning his shirt and frowned slightly.

It’s already this late, who else could it be?

With some doubts, Huo Yuhao opened the door and was stunned when he saw two unexpected people standing at the door.

The two had obviously just taken a shower before coming, and both changed into light pajamas. Yan'er's pajamas had a fiery red ribbon, while Yu Mengdi's were a more rustic white long-sleeved style.

The two people's exposed fair skin had an alluring light pink hue due to bathing.

Their eyes all fell on Huo Yuhao's half-open collar, his sturdy chest faintly visible under the soft light in the room.

Yan'er looked him up and down without any reservation, her red lips curled up in a passionate arc, and her eyes were full of interest.

Yu Mengdi on the side seemed a little at a loss, his eyes wandering around in panic. He obviously did not expect the other party to open the door in this state.

This kind of aura that tempts people to depravity at all times and inadvertently, it turns out that the person in front of me is the embodiment of evil!

As the owner of the Angel Martial Soul, I absolutely cannot let the other party continue to use this skin to seduce ignorant girls. I must bring him to justice on the spot!

Seeing the two people in front of him both having somewhat puzzled expressions, especially the angel girl who looked like she wanted to judge him immediately, Huo Yuhao felt even more confused.

Although the owners of angel martial spirits are usually a bit eccentric, he should not have cast undead magic in front of outsiders. Where did they come from with this attitude of coming to accuse him?

With some doubts, Huo Yuhao asked calmly.

"It's so late, what do you two want to talk to me about?"

"It's nothing serious." Yan'er laughed and responded proactively: "It's just that Shrek Academy and Zhengtian Academy are both located in the Tianhun Empire. We have long been fascinated by Shrek Academy.

"In addition, my good sister Mengdi said those words before, which caused you trouble. We are also very sorry. Now we have come all the way to apologize to you in person, and we also want to make friends with you."

As he spoke, Yan'er nudged Yu Mengdi beside him with his elbow, signaling him to speak up quickly.

Still immersed in the surging sense of justice in his heart, Yu Mengdi's body stiffened noticeably.

It is a great shame to bow to evil.

But when she thought of Yan'er's previous plan, she took a deep breath, bowed slightly to Huo Yuhao, and spoke in a slightly stiff voice.

"I'm sorry. I made those rumors about you without investigating them thoroughly. I'm truly sorry for the trouble I caused you."

Seeing that the other party had already apologized for the previous incident, Huo Yuhao didn't want to argue any further. He just wanted to get rid of the two people quickly and have a good sleep.

"Since you've apologized, let's end this matter here. It's late, I need to rest."

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to close the door, Yan'er suddenly stepped forward and used her body to block the gap in the door that was about to close.

"Hey, don't be so anxious," she said with a hint of amusement in her voice, her eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao.

"We haven't asked yet. Where did Huo Yuhao go during the banquet? Mengdi and I were planning to apologize to you at the banquet, but we searched for you for a long time and couldn't find you."

As Yan'er spoke, she squeezed her entire body into the room and moved a little closer to Huo Yuhao.

Seeing this, Yu Mengdi on the other side also slipped into the room and then closed the door tightly.
