Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 142 Duke Youming, Zhu Zhan

Huo Yuhao was confident he could contend with them, but he might lose, which he absolutely couldn't allow. Therefore, he needed to interrupt their fusion before it happened. As for how to interrupt it, it was actually quite simple. What was Huo Yuhao's greatest strength?

Of course, it was his mental power. Imagine what would happen if Huo Yuhao hit them with a Soul Shock at the critical moment of Xiao Hongchen and his sister's fusion.

Coupled with Huo Yuhao's mysterious spatial abilities, he was fully confident in interrupting their fusion.

Without the pressure of a Soul Saint's combat power, the atmosphere in the meeting room instantly relaxed. Afterwards, they engaged in some symbolic discussion.

In short, it could be summed up in four words: no big deal.

Knock, knock, knock!

Just as everyone finished discussing and was preparing to disperse, a knock sounded on the meeting room door.

"Come in," Huo Yuhao said, sensing that the person was Song Ming.

Song Ming pushed the door open and bowed slightly to Huo Yuhao, "Young Master, Duke Baihu wants to see you."

Why is it this guy again? Huo Yuhao frowned and immediately replied, "I'm not seeing him." His tone was clearly impatient, to the point that he couldn't even be bothered with polite formalities.

"Hmm? Is there anything else?"

"Reporting to Young Master, it's not just Duke Baihu who has come, but also Duke Youming accompanying him."

Duke Youming?

Huo Yuhao was a little surprised, not understanding why that old fellow had been drawn here. He should know that this guy was Dai Hao's brother-in-law. Although he wouldn't implicate her family because of Madam's affairs, the relationship between the two sides was definitely not very good.

So, what was his purpose in coming here? The Baihu and Youming families had intermarried for generations, and their descendants often interacted. However, Huo Yuhao's position in the Dai Mansion was no different from that of a servant, and he had even less contact with the Zhu family.

Seeing his young master lost in thought, Song Ming didn't urge him, patiently waiting.

After a long while, Huo Yuhao couldn't figure it out. He first looked at the people sitting quietly in the meeting room, and then Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "Everyone, go back to cultivate."

At this time, everyone also realized that this father and son might not be as harmonious as they had imagined, but as subordinates, they didn't dare to ask more and silently retreated.

After dismissing this group of onlookers, Huo Yuhao instructed Song Ming again, "Bring them here. I want to see what the Zhu family is up to."

It was necessary for Huo Yuhao to understand the Zhu family's attitude. It was unlikely that they would become friends, but it was best not to become enemies.

The continent seemed peaceful now, but in reality, undercurrents were already surging. First, there was the struggle for supremacy between the Sun Moon and the four great empires of Tianhun, Douling, and Xingluo, then there were the ambitions of Shrek and the Holy Spirit Church, and there was also a newly emerging Donglin Empire.

It was conceivable that the continent would soon be in a chaotic mess.

"Yes." Song Ming was just a martial man who couldn't understand those twists and turns. After responding, he was about to retreat, but he was called to stop once more.

"Wait a moment."

"Does Young Master have any other instructions?"

"Before that, go and invite Spirit Sound Douluo."

Huo Yuhao was still very cautious. Although he had his teacher, a super powerhouse, which was very deterrent, he wasn't by his side.

What if Dai Hao and that Duke Youming ate a bear's heart and leopard's gall and suddenly attacked? Duke Youming was at least a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, not to mention Dai Hao. Song Ming alone couldn't handle it.

One shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but one must have the intention to guard against others. Besides, Huo Yuhao's relationship with these two families couldn't be considered harmonious.

Not long after, Song Ming brought Dai Hao, dressed in brocade clothes, and a short, fat man to the outside of the meeting room. A girl with pigtails was following the short, fat man.

"Young Master, the two dukes have arrived."

"Hmm?"

Huo Yuhao in the room was stunned. Wasn't he supposed to have this guy invite Ran Hongyue over first? Why did he bring Dai Hao directly?

However, although he was puzzled, since the person had already been brought, there was no reason to refuse them entry.

"Come in."

After Huo Yuhao's words fell, the luxurious and wide solid wood door opened in response, and footsteps followed.

Huo Yuhao looked up, and among the people who came, the first to catch his eye was Dai Hao with his golden hair and evil eyes. Unlike before, today Dai Hao was wearing a long white and gold robe, stepping on white-soled cloud boots. Coupled with his prominent appearance, he did have the feeling of an official. No, he was already a high-ranking official.

Huo Yuhao only glanced at him casually. He had no good feelings for this person at all, and even felt some aversion.

Moving his gaze to the right, Huo Yuhao saw a middle-aged man in black. This man was no more than 1.5 meters tall and was on the plump side, but he was only slightly plump. He didn't give people the feeling of being pot-bellied.

With black hair and black eyes, rounded features, and a face that was even more handsome than Dai Hao, he always had a faint smile on his lips. He didn't have any special aura, giving people the feeling that he was easy to get along with at first glance.

It had to be said that Huo Yuhao was now a little arrogant. He didn't even look up to those who weren't titled Douluos.

Turning his gaze to the last person, it was a girl, still with the standard black hair and black eyes of the Netherworld lineage. The girl was wearing a light cyan dress, the length of which was moderate, revealing her fair and slender legs. She was wearing a pair of the same light cyan crystal shoes. The crystal shoes were translucent, and a pair of jade feet were faintly visible.

It was hard to say how old she was, because this girl had a baby face, round eyes, a firm nose, and cherry lips, like she had walked out of an anime. Coupled with her pigtails, she was a pure loli.

The only thing Huo Yuhao could be sure of was that this guy was older than him. The reason was her height. This girl and her father were completely two extremes. Zhu Zhan was no more than 1.5 meters tall, while this girl was estimated to be over 1.7 meters tall.

How should I put it, this height was somewhat incompatible with her baby face.

"Ahem, Yuhao, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Zhu Rui. You are about the same age, so you can interact more in the future." Zhu Zhan suddenly said at this time.

Huo Yuhao looked at Zhu Zhan in surprise. What was going on with this guy? You don't know what kind of relationship I have with you. What's with this enthusiasm?

And what did he call me? Yuhao? Huo Yuhao really wanted to ask, are we very familiar?

And it's really hard for him to give birth to such a tall daughter.

Speaking of which, I don't know if it's my imagination, but Huo Yuhao always felt that Zhu Rui's gaze towards him wasn't very friendly, and the way this guy's eyes were slightly red looked like she had just cried. Huo Yuhao didn't understand what was going on.

Ah, what am I thinking so much about? Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that his thoughts had gone astray and hurriedly came back to his senses. He smiled politely at Zhu Zhan, "Duke, you are right. Please sit down, the environment is a bit simple, I hope you don't mind."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Zhu Zhan replied with a smile while pulling out a chair and sitting down. Dai Hao and Zhu Rui did the same.

Just as the three of them were seated, Ye Lingling, in a white dress, walked in gracefully, holding a tray in her hands. Ye Lingling walked past a few people and served them tea.

After doing this, Ye Lingling obediently retreated behind Huo Yuhao, holding her hands tightly in front of her, dressed like a maid waiting for orders at any time.

Huo Yuhao found it funny in his heart. He didn't ask anyone to serve tea, and even if he did, he wouldn't need Ye Lingling to do these things. This girl seemed very interested in his so-called family affairs.

Seeing that the three of them didn't speak, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't be in a hurry. He picked up the tea in front of him and tasted it lightly.
