Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

“Dean, I'm wronged! This student only focuses on cultivation to avenge the destruction of my entire family. I have absolutely no intention of harming the academy,” Xu He hurriedly cried out.

Yan Shaozhe sneered, "Don't call me Dean, I can't afford it. You are a prince, using a false name to enter the academy for many years. I always thought you were honest and simple, but I never imagined it was all an act. Your classmates were deceived by you, Fan Yu was deceived by you, and even I, the Dean, was completely fooled and remained oblivious."

"Worthy of being the prince of the Sun Moon Empire, your schemes are truly deep and your acting is perfect. Wouldn't you agree, Your Highness?"

Yan Shaozhe's words were piercing and assertive, causing Xu He to feel a great sense of fear, as if a huge label was being placed on his head, confirming his identity as a spy.

However, Xu He was unwilling to admit it. If Yan Shaozhe truly confirmed his identity as a spy, he would have no chance of survival.

“May I ask the Dean, does the academy have a rule that people from the Sun Moon Empire cannot enter the academy? Does it have a rule that royal children cannot enter the academy?”

“Since there are no such rules, what's wrong with me entering the academy to study?”

Yan Shaozhe stared intently at Xu He, never expecting that the usually simple and inarticulate young man would be so eloquent and persuasive.

“Alright, Shaozhe, it's understandable that he concealed his identity to avoid exposure. Don't be so suspicious,” Xuan Zi said from the side, acting as a mediator.

Upon hearing this, Xu He was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Xuan Zi, gratefully saying, “Thank you, Elder Xuan. Elder Xuan is wise.”

“Hehe, young friend, don't be nervous. Shrek will not wrong any good person.”

Xuan Zi stroked his long beard, appearing as a kind and approachable senior. He continued, “Young friend, I am quite curious about the martial arts technique, Nine Yang Divine Skill. I wonder if you would be willing to tell me more about it.”

“Ah, what?” Xu He was stunned.

“Is it inconvenient? If it's really inconvenient, then just pretend I didn't say anything,” Xuan Zi said.

Xu He replied, “No, Elder Xuan, it's not that I'm unwilling to talk about it, but I also don't know the cultivation method of the Nine Yang Divine Skill. I can cultivate it myself, just like moving my hands and feet, as if it's innate, but I just can't describe it.”

“In fact, according to my understanding, the Nine Yang Divine Skill is nothing more than a more advanced form of meditation.”

Xu He tried his best to make the Nine Yang Divine Skill sound useless. He suspected that Yan Shaozhe brought him here not only because of his identity but also because these old guys had their eyes on his Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Yan Shaozhe waved his hand and said coldly, “No need for further ado. During the academy's investigation, you will stay in the Sea God Pavilion. Any objections?”

Upon hearing this, Xu He's heart filled with anger. He understood that Yan Shaozhe was clearly coveting the Nine Yang Divine Skill and was using this as an excuse. These sanctimonious hypocrites!

“Hehe, when did it become the Martial Soul Department's turn to interfere with the affairs of my Soul Tool Department?” Just then, a rough voice came.

Xu He's eyes lit up when he heard this voice, and he looked expectantly towards the entrance.

Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo, and Fan Yu entered one after another. It turned out that after Xu He was taken away, Fan Yu was worried that something might happen to his disciple, so he found Qian Duoduo, the Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department, and Xian Lin'er, the Dean.

“Yan Shaozhe, you shameless old man, what kind of skill is it to bully a child? If you have the guts, come to the Soul Fighting Zone with me.”

Xian Lin'er said coldly. She was nearly a hundred years old, but she looked only in her fifties. Her black hair was neatly styled, and she wore a white formal suit with gold trim, giving off a heroic aura.

“Lin'er, how can you call this bullying? You should be able to guess He Caitou's identity. We have to be cautious,”

Facing Xian Lin'er, Yan Shaozhe felt inferior and his tone immediately softened. It wasn't hard to imagine that there must have been some secrets between the two when they were young.

Xian Lin'er snorted and said, “Even if there's an investigation, it should be done by our Soul Tool Department. Why do you need to interfere?”

On the other side, Huo Yuhao returned to the Sea God Pavilion. On the way, Jiang Nannan said that she would go through the withdrawal procedures in the next two days. Coincidentally, the two ran into Xu Sanshi as they were parting.

Seeing Xu Sanshi's murderous gaze, Huo Yuhao just smiled disdainfully. He knew that this guy had misunderstood and that Jiang Nannan was his weak spot, but he was too lazy to explain. Even if he didn't have any designs on Jiang Nannan, what if he did take her?

He would still pluck the dragon's scales and stroke the tiger's butt. If you're not happy, then hold it in.

He didn't know what day it was today, but it seemed like everything was happening at once. On his way back to the Sea God Pavilion, Huo Yuhao encountered another acquaintance, someone he couldn't wait to kill.

Dai Huabin, his half-brother, the main culprit who killed his mother, and his girlfriend, Zhu Lu.

It wasn't a coincidence because Dai Huabin was at the Sea God Pavilion looking for Huo Yuhao.

Thump!

An unexpected scene occurred. After seeing Huo Yuhao, the proud Dai Huabin actually knelt down on the spot.

Zhang Lexuan was stunned by this scene. She had heard about the Soul Master Competition and heard that these two and Dai Yueheng were brothers, but what was going on now?

“Huo Yuhao, it was all my fault before. If you want revenge, come at me. I have no complaints. I only ask you to spare the Dai and Zhu families.”

Dai Huabin's tone was resolute, as if he was determined to pay for his past actions.

A few days ago, he received a letter from his mother, Zhu Nuo, learning that Dai Hao had led people to intercept Huo Yuhao, but not only did they fail, but his mother's cultivation was crippled, and his father had fled on the spot and had not been heard from since.

At the end of the letter, his mother told him to stay in Shrek and that only Shrek could guarantee his safety.

After learning about his cheap younger brother's strength from the letter, Dai Huabin had completely lost his desire to fight, which led to the scene of him admitting his mistakes.

Huo Yuhao sneered in his heart when he saw this. This guy was really good at acting, just like his father. If he really wanted to die heroically, he wouldn't have staged this scene in Shrek.

Dai Huabin clearly knew that the Shrek higher-ups would not allow Huo Yuhao to kill people in the academy, so he put on this show to test his attitude and ensure his own safety.

Moreover, this righteous performance might even be valued by the Shrek higher-ups, who might think that he was deeply affectionate, responsible, and worthy of being cultivated.

Besides losing face, there were no other losses.

Huo Yuhao didn't look at him, lest he get angry and slap him to death, giving those old fogeys in Shrek an excuse to make trouble. He would be surrounded by trouble again.

“Hey, Huabin has already apologized, what else do you want?” Seeing Huo Yuhao walk past them without turning his head, Zhu Lu couldn't help but speak angrily.
