Wang Yan clapped his hands, signaling everyone to quiet down.
"Alright, the match is over. Everyone, go to the rest area to relax. Of course, if you don't want to watch the match, you can go back to the hotel first."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised his hand and said, "Teacher Wang, I want to go out to see a friend."
All eyes turned to him, and they all remembered what Huo Yuhao had said earlier.
Wang Yan nodded and said, "There's nothing urgent right now. Just remember to come back for the meeting the day after tomorrow afternoon."
Just then, Xian Lin'er, who had been watching the game from a distance, suddenly appeared, grabbed Huo Yuhao's face, and said, "Le Xuan, you go with him. I'll keep watch over things here."
"Mom, I'm just going to see a friend, I don't need anyone to come with me!"
"Enough with the nonsense! Or I'll go with you myself!"
Seeing Xian Lin'er's firm stance, Huo Yuhao dared not continue arguing. He stared at Zhang Lexuan with a pitiful look.
Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but burst out laughing at his current appearance. However, because Xian Lin'er was there, she maintained her usual gentle and dignified image in order to perform well.
"Yes, Aunt Xian."
With the Dean of the Soul Guidance Department, Xian Lin'er, a Super Douluo-level expert, personally overseeing the operation, no one dared to object. The group followed her to Shrek Academy's exclusive rest area, while Zhang Lexuan secretly took Huo Yuhao's hand and, under the cover of a simulation, left Star Luo Square.
Once outside, Zhang Lexuan asked, "Yuhao, where is the friend you're planning to meet?"
Huo Yuhao said reluctantly, "Didn't I tell you before that when we were at the White Tiger Duke's mansion, only one woman and her son took care of my mother and me? That woman was the concubine of the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, and her son was naturally the White Tiger Duke's illegitimate son. That is, my half-brother."
"I had saved up one Marrow Cleansing Pill and one Bone Refining Pill. I want to take this opportunity to go back and give them to him, as a way of repaying some of the kindness I owed him. So I plan to go to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion myself."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's expression softened. She patted Huo Yuhao's head and said softly, "Turn on the simulation, and I'll just watch from the side without making a sound, okay?"
Huo Yuhao frowned, then sighed in relief, "Alright, then that's settled."
The White Tiger Duke's Mansion was located in the northeast of Xingluo City, not too far, but certainly not close either. Zhang Lexuan followed Huo Yuhao, leisurely strolling through Xingluo City as they traveled. By the time they arrived, it was already ten o'clock at night.
Returning to the place where he had spent eight years, Huo Yuhao was overwhelmed with emotions, a mix of feelings welling up inside him, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
He stared at the familiar vermilion gate, at the familiar plaque hanging high, at the vermilion buildings and green tiles, at the intricate brackets, and couldn't help but pause for a moment.
After a long while, Huo Yuhao let out a long sigh and said, "Sister Lexuan, let's go."
Zhang Lexuan nodded without saying a word, but hugged Huo Yuhao from behind, activated her soul power, and flew into the air.
Under the cover of the simulation, the two easily entered the outer residence.
Huo Yuhao was extremely familiar with this area. Before assassinating the head steward of the outer courtyard, he had already intentionally memorized the entire layout of the outer courtyard.
Although he might not be very clear about the inner palace, Huo Yuhao could definitely be considered a walking human map at least in the outer palace.
The two quickly arrived at the inner gate of the northern courtyard of the outer mansion, and without alerting the guards, successfully entered the true core area of the White Tiger Duke's mansion.
Huo Yuhao was unsure whether there were any Title Douluo level experts guarding this place, so he became more cautious when using his mental detection abilities after arriving.
After searching through each small courtyard for quite some time, they finally found their destination—the secluded courtyard where the White Tiger Duke's concubine was located.
Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan carefully flew over the courtyard wall and entered. After passing through several corridors, they quietly entered a room.
Inside, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy was meditating cross-legged, diligently cultivating his soul power.
His bedroom wasn't very big; the entire layout consisted of just a bed, a table, a chair, and a wardrobe. It was nowhere near as grand as that of his two legitimate sons, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin, but it was far better than the woodshed Huo Yuhao had slept in back then.
After Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan entered, they remained still, carefully observing the young man.
Between her eyebrows and eyes, there were some features that resembled Huo Yuhao's. If it weren't for the fact that the power of the Ice Emperor, the Ice Phoenix, and that 100,000-year-old Ice Heaven Snow Lotus had changed Huo Yuhao's appearance so much, the two would probably look even more alike.
Huo Yuhao remembered his name and his martial soul. Dai Luoli, the boy's name, was Huo Yuhao's half-brother. His martial soul was a special White Tiger martial soul mutated from the Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul.
Because its spiritual essence has not been fully awakened, it is mistakenly believed to be a malignant mutation of the martial soul.
But no matter what, it's still stronger than Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul. At least Dai Luoli's Martial Soul is the White Tiger, so the old men of the Dai family will naturally take it seriously. Even if it's not as good as Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin, Dai Luoli can still enjoy the treatment that a White Tiger offspring should have.
However, no one in the Dai family is skilled in mental power, and his son, born out of wedlock, lacks exceptional talent, so no one pays him much attention. He has been cultivating for five years, yet his strength is still insufficient even for a second-ring Great Soul Master. It's foreseeable that if things continue like this, and no one discovers his potential talent, he will likely never achieve much in his life.
Huo Yuhao smiled, lit up his third soul ring, and activated Illusionary Eyes!
Since Dai Luoli was engrossed in cultivation, it was impossible for him to open his eyes and see Huo Yuhao's icy white pupils. Huo Yuhao simply raised his hand and, through physical contact, reflected Dai Luoli's soul essence from between his foreheads.
Huo Yuhao also knew that things had to be done slowly and that he couldn't use drastic measures right away, so he didn't arouse Dai Luoli's greatest fears and desires, but instead arranged some normal nightmares for him first.
For example, when facing the pursuit of soul beasts alone, Huo Yuhao specifically arranged for a thousand-year-old Blood Tiger, which shared the same origin as Dai Luoli, to create nightmares.
With everything settled, Huo Yuhao returned.
Zhang Lexuan asked, puzzled, "Why did you use the Illusionary Eye on him?"
Huo Yuhao sighed, "This kid's martial soul is a special White Tiger martial soul that mutated from the Evil Eye White Tiger. It consists of two parts: the bloodline origin and the spiritual origin. The bloodline origin awakened the White Tiger martial soul, but the spiritual origin requires special stimulation to awaken."
So I arranged some nightmares for him to help him.
