"Oh, you're back early."

Suddenly, a scoundrel-like voice came from the utility room, and at the same time, a young man poked his head out.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, his eyes flickered slightly, and a look of disgust instantly appeared on his face.

Chapter 4 What is Motherly Love?

He first calmly put down the bundle of branches he had collected, then picked up the bedding on the ground, stretched out his hand and gently brushed the bedding with dirty footprints, and his hands were soon stained.

Huo Yun'er was very silly, she was not a very wise woman, after all, she had been with Dai Hao since she was a child, and her world only had Dai Hao. But Huo Yun'er could indeed be called a virtuous and gentle mother, she gave all her love to Huo Yuhao until the end of her life.

Having lived two lives as a human being, Huo Yuhao did not know what maternal love was. However, after his soul passed through the body of the original "Huo Yuhao", the fragments of memories deep in his mind allowed him to experience maternal love for the first time.

It was a very warm existence, and this quilt was the last love that Huo Yun'er left for Huo Yuhao, but today it was dirty, but it was not only the quilt that was dirty, but also a mother's worry for her son.

The footsteps slowly approached. As if because his words had not received a response, he seemed a little anxious. A hand quickly rested on Huo Yuhao's left shoulder, and then a face with an impatient expression came over, "Are you deaf?"

“Is there anything wrong?” Huo Yuhao took a step lightly to the right, not letting the hand continue to rest on his shoulder.

In front of him, a 1.7 meter tall, strong man with an ordinary face stood there. He was wearing a servant's uniform specially made for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. There was no fluctuation of soul power. He was just an ordinary person.

The man did not have his own original name. He was only called Chai San, a servant after he entered the Duke of White Tiger's mansion. He was not very old, only about twenty years old, and he was a member of the firewood room.

Chai San was somewhat surprised that Huo Yuhao dared to avoid him. Anger immediately rose on his face, "Why didn't you do the task in the firewood room today? You got me scolded by the manager."

Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at him and said casually, “I see that you have all your limbs intact, so you should be able to complete such a task by yourself. What’s the matter? Could it be that you have been practicing martial arts lately and ruined your body, turning into a useless person?”

After being scolded by Huo Yuhao, Chai San opened his eyes wide immediately. He couldn't believe that this submissive servant's son dared to disobey him and even scold him.

"You are the son of a lowly maid, and you dare to scold me." Chai San's eyes were wide open, and he raised his foot and kicked Huo Yuhao.

Judging from his skillful movements, it seems that he has done this many times.

Chai San had a sneer on his face, as if he had already seen himself kicking the other person to the ground with a heavy kick. Then he would go up and kick him a few more times to teach him a lesson about respect and inferiority.

However... unlike the previous situations where he would just accept everything, a ray of blue light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. He took a step ahead to thoroughly etch Chai San's movements into his eyes, and cleverly dodged to the side the moment Chai San kicked him, leaving Chai San with nothing to kick.

Chai San kicked the air, perhaps it was different from the previous development, he was stunned for a moment. But this dodge also completely angered Chai San. Although he was not a soul master, he had learned a few moves, which was also a common skill of many non-soul masters in Douluo Continent.

The next moment, he turned around, stabilized his center of gravity, and then took a few small steps forward. His fist was like a swinging stone, smashing hard at Huo Yuhao who had just dodged. This punch was powerful enough and came quickly.

Chai Sanguo's life was not one in which he had to eat one meal and not the next. He had meat in his stomach every day.

Although Huo Yuhao had the help of his spiritual eyes and could capture Chai San's movements in a relatively dim environment, his weak body could not be made stronger by eating fish for two months.

His mind could keep up, but his body couldn't. After a day of hard work, he didn't have much strength left. As for the short blade at his waist, he would be dead before he could even pull it out.

The fist passed through the rain curtain, and the rain splashed on the fist. Huo Yuhao's breathing tightened, and his pupils suddenly dilated. The fist became bigger and bigger in his sight.

If this punch hits, he will probably fall into a baby-like sleep on the spot.

But at this most dangerous moment, as if sensing the impending danger, Huo Yuhao's deep blue eyes suddenly changed. A bright sun emerged, and a crack appeared between his brows again.

"Eye of the Sky?"

As Huo Yuhao's gaze became more focused, a strange situation occurred. Chai San's body seemed to become transparent, and at the same time his speed became extremely slow. Everything around him seemed to have entered bullet time. Huo Yuhao clearly discovered that there was a dim flame jumping in the opponent's abdomen.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao felt that the temperature of his body instantly rose a lot, and there was a special force guiding him at the center of his eyebrows. Soon, a subtle golden light burst out from his third eye and hit Chai San's body straight.

The golden light instantly covered the jumping flames in Chai San's body. Visibly, the flames began to shrink and become dimmer, like a candle in the wind, which would be extinguished at the slightest blow.

But Chai San himself was as if struck by lightning. His eyes were a little dull, and he, who originally had strong blood and energy, became listless in an instant, as if his life force had been deprived.

"boom!"

In an instant, Chai San's hand movements stopped, and his fist suddenly fell back when it was about ten centimeters away from Huo Yuhao. Then, Chai San fell directly on his back.

A strange situation happened again. Strands of invisible energy emerged from Chai San's body and then retracted into Huo Yuhao's body. Huo Yuhao saw all of this with the help of his divine eye.

He stood where he was. The dazzling sun in his eyes had disappeared, and his heavenly eyes had also dissipated. Cold sweat spread all over his body, mixing with the rain. His chest rose and fell, and he stared at Chai San, who had returned to normal and fell to the ground.

After swallowing, Huo Yuhao reached out and touched his forehead, and felt an incomparable warmth.

"Is this the function of the Heavenly Eye? But why didn't I faint when I used that golden light this time? And what was that energy that entered my body?"

Huo Yuhao felt a little doubtful.

"Tap tap tap."

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's expression changed and he looked towards the direction of the courtyard gate, where he could hear several hurried footsteps running towards him.

Huo Yuhao grasped the short blade with sheath at his waist, looked at Chai San deeply, but finally put it down. He then planned to slip out through the small door before anyone arrived and escape from the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion in advance.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped, as if he had thought of something. He glanced in the west direction of the Duke's Mansion, and then he acted resolutely, hugging the thin bedding around his waist and leaving through the small door on the other side of the house.

Less than five seconds after he left, six people rushed in through the gate. Their clothes were no different from Chai San's, and they were obviously servants in the firewood room of the Duke's Mansion.

"Xiao San'er!"

As soon as they entered the yard, the six people were stunned by what they saw.

Chai San was seen lying on the ground like a dead man. If it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest and abdomen, he would have been mistaken for dead.

Six people rushed forward to check Chai San's body.

However, a confusing situation occurred. There was no damage on Chai San's body, not a single wound.

"This..." One of the servants looked at his companions in surprise.

Everyone looked at each other, all confused as to what was going on.

But soon, one of the servants noticed the bundles of branches on the ground not far away. He suddenly thought of something and quickly walked to the small door on the side of the yard, only to see that it had been opened, and he was facing a straight corridor. Suddenly, a look of disbelief appeared on the servant's face. But soon, this disbelief turned into excitement.

He hurried back to the yard and shouted excitedly, "It was that bastard who injured the person. He ran out of the back door."

Hearing this, the other five people all raised their heads at the same time.

The servant who ran to the small gate to take a look said excitedly: "Carry Chai San up, and let's go directly to Manager Wang."

"Don't send Chai San to the medical room?" One of the servants glanced at the unconscious Chai San.

"Take him with you to Steward Wang. He won't die for a while."

Hearing this, everyone stopped hesitating and lifted Chai San up together and left the dilapidated firewood room.

Chapter 5 Dai Luoli's Mother

On the other side, after Huo Yuhao left the old and dilapidated woodshed, he did not choose to escape directly from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, but chose to find the housekeeper of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

This choice was completely forced.

Can he run? He can. But unfortunately, he can't run more than a kilometer. He will definitely be caught. The reason why Chai San targeted him was because he, or the whole people in the firewood room, were instructed by Dai Huabin.

It would have been fine if he didn't resist. Once he resisted, it would give this group of people the opportunity to punish him. I guess it would be considered a blessing if he just lost some skin.

The Duchess was jealous, so after Dai Hao went to the front line to guard the border, she often assigned the heavy work of the servants to the frail Huo Yun'er. After Huo Yun'er died, the Duchess was too lazy to deal with Huo Yuhao. Anyway, a waste of the first level of innateness was not worth mentioning. However, his son Dai Huabin took over this "job" and enjoyed it very much.

After all, Dai Huabin had been influenced by the White Tiger Duchess since he was a child, and developed an arrogant character. He also believed that the White Tiger bloodline was extremely noble. In his opinion, Huo Yuhao, a lowly child born to a personal maid, should die to avoid dirtying his eyes.

During these years, Dai Huabin not only kicked Huo Yun'er, but also beat Huo Yuhao. However, no matter what Huo Yuhao's identity was, he was still Dai Hao's child. It was impossible to kill him casually. He could only send his subordinates to bully him.

Now that Huo Yuhao has hurt someone, Chai San and other people in the firewood room will definitely report him to the manager who is a great soul master. Once the news gets to Dai Huabin, the other party will definitely take advantage of the situation. I am afraid that the person chasing him will not be an ordinary person, but a soul master.

How could he possibly escape under such circumstances?

So he went to the old steward of the Duke of White Tiger's Mansion in advance to report Chai San's complaint, and then stabilized the situation while Chai San and others were still not able to react.

Don't forget, no matter what Huo Yuhao is like, he still has the blood of the White Tiger family. According to the rules of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, if a servant commits an offense against his superior, he can be beaten to death.

The previous Huo Yuhao did not dare to go to the old butler, but the current Huo Yuhao is different. When he chose to fight back against Chai San, he was destined to have only one way left, which was to ask the old butler for help. Moreover, relying on the memory recall, he also knew clearly that the old butler and the Duchess did not have a good relationship. The servant who cleaned the Luofeng Courtyard where the old butler lived had been executed by the Duchess.

The specific reason is unknown, but the servants in his residence were inexplicably ordered to be killed by you. How could the old housekeeper not be angry? However, Huo Yuhao also remembered that the old housekeeper endured it at the time, and there was no follow-up.

Stepping into the rain and fog, water splashed up. The light of the soul guide lamp hanging on the wall seemed a little hazy. Huo Yuhao moved quickly and hurried towards his destination.

The White Tiger Duke's Mansion is very large. The innermost part is the Inner Palace, which covers an area of ​​one thousand acres. It is where the owner of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion lives. The Outer Palace is where the direct subordinates of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion live. There are many masters and soul masters in the Outer Palace, and the defense is also the most stringent, which can protect the Inner Palace from harm at any time.

As for ordinary servants, there is no special name for the place where they live. It is outside the outer mansion, that is, in the courtyard close to the outermost wall.

The old butler currently lives in a place called Luofengyuan on the west side of the Duke's Mansion. The most special thing about that place is that there is a small patch of maple trees. It is autumn now, and the maple trees must have turned into a bright red.

The rain was getting heavier. Lines of rain slid down from the eaves and merged into the bluestone slabs. The air became colder and white mist floated in the air. The darkness all around seemed to swallow up the faint light released by the soul guide lamp.

As he walked, Huo Yuhao became troubled and stopped suddenly. He overlooked a major problem, which was that ordinary servants were not qualified to enter the outer mansion unless they had the consent of their superiors. Otherwise, if they stepped in and were discovered by the patrolling guards, they would be beaten to death on the spot.

Huo Yuhao fell silent, his face changing, as if he was a little annoyed that he had not thought the situation through and put himself in danger. He let the rain wet his body, but at this moment, just as he lowered his head to think of a solution as quickly as possible, he glanced at the quilt around his waist. At that moment, his heart skipped a beat and his eyes were fixed on the short blade with its sheath.

The scabbard is about one foot and two inches long, dark green in color, and made of tough leather. On the leather, there is a mark of a roaring white tiger, symbolizing the White Tiger, the inherited martial spirit of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

This is exactly the White Tiger Dagger that Dai Hao gave to Huo Yun'er. It is said that this was once Dai Hao's personal item. In the entire Duke's Mansion, only people of the White Tiger lineage dare to use the White Tiger as a mark on their weapons.

But it was this simple dagger that couldn't be simpler that brought Huo Yuhao the opportunity to enter the outer palace.

This dagger is not a cabbage sold on the street. My mother told me that this dagger is not used specifically for fighting, but is a symbol of honor. Those who have made outstanding contributions to the White Tiger family will be given a White Tiger dagger. In a sense, with it, you are a direct descendant recognized by the White Tiger family, which means you are one of their own.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao headed quickly towards the western outer mansion in the heavy rain. Along the way, he met many servants who were working, but he was too familiar with the roads in this construction area, so he could hide there and the servants would not be able to find him.

The journey was smooth.

There is no gate blocking the outer mansion and the place where ordinary servants live. The most obvious thing about the entrance to the outer mansion on the west side is that there are several rows of ginkgo trees.

It was an arched entrance, eight meters wide and three meters high, with a white tiger lampstand on each side. The light emanating from inside was extremely clear.

Huo Yuhao was breathing heavily, with hot mist coming out of his mouth. He glanced at the White Tiger Dagger and rushed into the entrance of the outer palace with determination.

In an instant, the light became much brighter. The first square building encountered after entering the outer palace was called Chunfeng Pavilion. This was where the White Tiger Duke's Mansion distributed monthly allowances.

Compared to where ordinary servants live, there is a soul guide lamp every five meters, and in the outer mansion, there is one every three meters. The quality of the soul guide lamp is much stronger. The soul power injected once is enough for continuous use for twenty-four hours for ten days, and the lighting can reach farther places.

There were three forks in front of Huo Yuhao, leading to three directions. Fortunately, he had a good memory and knew the way to Luofeng Courtyard. Immediately, Huo Yuhao endured the hunger in his stomach and hurried towards his destination.

Along the way, perhaps because of the rain, or because nothing had happened in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion for too long, the patrol members became a little lazy. Huo Yuhao ran for hundreds of meters without seeing a single patrol member.

Finally, he ran to an arched bridge over an artificial river. Even though it was dark, he could still see a group of maple trees with branches like flames growing on them on the opposite side of the bridge, as well as a tall building beside the maple trees.

In the rain and fog, everything seems somewhat eye-catching.

Luofengyuan, we’re here!

"who!"

Suddenly, just when Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, a warning shout came from behind him, and he felt a chill down his spine.

He looked back and saw a team of twenty people standing at the exit of a flower garden corridor, staring at him.

This group of people are all soul masters. With the help of his spiritual eyes, Huo Yuhao can vaguely see the faint fluctuations of soul power on the leader. That person has a firm face and a fierce look in his eyes. He has a blade on his waist, which is not sure whether it is a soul guide or an ordinary weapon. His hand is on the hilt, and he is ready to rush towards him and kill him at any time.

"What happened?"

Just when Huo Yuhao was about to take out the White Tiger Dagger to identify himself, a soft voice sounded. Everyone was attracted by the voice and saw a beautiful woman with a gentle face and six maids holding umbrellas walking towards them from a distance.

Seeing the beautiful woman, Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes a little, and his tense body quietly relaxed a little. And this beautiful woman was none other than Dai Hao's concubine, the biological mother of Huo Yuhao's only brother, Dai Luoli.

Chapter 6: Second Lady's Help, First Encounter with Dai Luoli

"Second lady."

Seeing the beautiful woman, all the members of the patrol team immediately became respectful. The middle-aged man with a resolute face who was in the lead even quietly moved his hand that was holding the handle of the knife away a little.

"what happens?"

The beautiful woman came over with a smile on her face and asked curiously.

The patrol captain quickly replied, "Madam, an unidentified person has sneaked into the outer mansion, and we are trying to arrest him."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman subconsciously turned her head to look, and happened to see the boy standing on the arched bridge, his body shivering in the cold wind, but his eyes were extremely determined. The boy's patched clothes were soaked, and the strange thing was that the boy was holding a quilt around his waist, which looked strange no matter how you looked at it.

When she noticed the boy's lively deep blue eyes, the second wife's eyebrows twitched. She seemed to have seen this boy's deep blue eyes somewhere before...

“Second Madam, please step back a bit and allow us to capture this unidentified man first.” The patrol captain said respectfully, and then waved his hand. In an instant, the other 19 members of the patrol team dispersed in tacit understanding and completely blocked Huo Yuhao’s escape route.

Everyone grasped the hilt of the knife at their waist, their eyes sharp, waiting for the captain to give the order to catch the person in front of them.

"I am not a thief. I have a certificate that allows me to enter and leave the outer palace freely."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and spoke loudly. Then, he quickly took out the White Tiger Dagger from his waist. However, this action made everyone in the patrol team alert and they did not listen to him at all. The patrol team leader's eyes turned cold, his muscles tensed, and he immediately ran towards Huo Yuhao like a gust of wind.
