"Zhuyun, our Martial Soul Fusion Skill still has a long way to go."

At Star Luo Royal Academy, Dai Weisi had just finished combat training when he shook his head and sighed.

Zhu Zhuyun grabbed Dai Weisi's hand and denied it. "Weisi, your standards are too high."

Dai Weisi laughed heartily. "As the First Prince, I have to hold myself to high standards. Otherwise, how could I govern a nation?"

"That's true. After all, no one can compete with us anymore." A smile also flashed through Zhu Zhuyun's eyes, but very quickly, she frowned again. "Weisi, is there still no news from the Soul Saint you sent out?"

At the mention of this, the smile on Dai Weisi's face slowly disappeared. "There's been no news ever since they arrived in Heaven Dou."

"How could that be! Could something have happened?"

Zhu Zhuyun cared a great deal about this matter. This was a major affair concerning herself, and she truly did not dare leave a younger sister who could endure in silence for six years out there unchecked.

That feeling of possibly being targeted by a Title Douluo at any moment was simply too fatal!

"I don't know either."

Dai Weisi shook his head. He did not believe two Soul Saints would die so easily, but there really had been no news. Even after he sent word, the other side had not replied.

How much time could two Soul Saints need to assassinate a Soul Grandmaster?

If all went smoothly, they would only need to pause there briefly.

"Could they have been discovered by the Title Douluo Zhu Zhuqing latched onto?"

Dai Weisi guessed. That seemed to be the only possibility.

If that was really the case, then things were troublesome.

"Then what do we do?"

Zhu Zhuyun grew more and more panicked. If the matter of her sending people to assassinate Zhu Zhuqing was exposed, that would be provoking a Title Douluo. It could be said to be rubbing the other party's face into the ground. This was not on the same level of severity as Zhu Zhuqing whispering complaints into someone's ear!

It would still be fine if that Title Douluo came to demand an explanation. What she feared was that the Title Douluo was the kind to hold the smallest grudge and would slap the offender to death just for making him lose face.

Dai Weisi felt that staying put was the best course of action, and he immediately prepared to comfort Zhu Zhuyun.

Before he could speak, a soul master wearing magnificent armor came before him, then knelt on one knee and presented a sealed letter with both hands.

"Your Highness, a Secret Letter for you!"

"Understood. You may withdraw."

After taking the Secret Letter, Dai Weisi was somewhat baffled. Who would send him a Secret Letter?

Although it was called a Secret Letter, that did not mean the contents were top-secret information. A Secret Letter was simply a letter sent by someone who did not want to reveal their identity—in other words, it was unknown who had written it.

A letter from a mysterious person, abbreviated as Secret Letter.

After the messenger withdrew, Dai Weisi tore open the envelope and began checking its contents.

The next moment, Dai Weisi's expression darkened.

"What is it, Weisi?"

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun hurriedly pressed him. No matter how she looked at such a change, it did not seem like anything good.

"See for yourself."

Dai Weisi handed the letter to Zhu Zhuyun with his brows tightly furrowed.

After Zhu Zhuyun read it, her pupils also trembled.

"Twelve years old, suspected Title Douluo!"

"Intimate with Zhu Zhuqing! Once crippled one of Dai Mubai's arms for her!"

"How could a twelve-year-old Title Douluo be possible!"

"Who sent this letter to make fools of us?"

Zhu Zhuyun did not think this was real. How could such a thing be possible? It had to be some bored person trying to play a joke on the two of them.

Dai Weisi, however, shook his head with a grave expression. "You're thinking too simply. Someone capable of delivering a Secret Letter into our hands—who would joke with us about something like this?"

"But..."

Zhu Zhuyun still wanted to say something, but Dai Weisi interrupted her.

"Do you still remember that intelligence you obtained? Your younger sister latched onto a Title Douluo. Is it possible that it wasn't her latching onto a Title Douluo, but rather that her lover became a Title Douluo?"

Zhu Zhuyun's expression froze, and memories buried for many years began to resurface.

She remembered that several years ago, she had sent people to take revenge on that commoner family who had saved Zhu Zhuqing. In the end, all the soul masters she sent disappeared. Later, she had thought some powerful expert was living there in seclusion, and so she had dropped the matter.

After that, Zhu Zhuqing had gotten together with a poor boy from that place, and Zhu Zhuyun had been happy about it for a long time.

But after Dai Weisi put it this way, she seemed to understand something.

"There was never any hidden expert there back then. It was all done by that little boy!"

"How did he become a Title Douluo at twelve years old!"

Dai Weisi's eyes lit up. "Zhuyun, what do you know?"

Zhu Zhuyun gnashed her teeth and said, "I think I know who that so-called Title Douluo is."

"Who is it?"

Zhu Zhuyun said, "My dear little sister's lover!"

"Do you know anything else?" Dai Weisi lowered his eyes. "For example, anything about his family?"

Zhu Zhuyun instantly caught on when she heard that, and she also let out a cold laugh.

"Now that you mention it, yes. That esteemed one has both parents alive."

"Then why don't we invite those two to the imperial palace for a visit?"

Dai Weisi could no longer hold back his smile and burst into loud laughter.

Because with this move, he would be able to gain a subordinate at the Title Douluo level!

Though obtained through coercion, as long as he could use him, wasn't that enough?

"Who are you?! I'm just passing by!"

A passing Soul Master trembled as he looked at the Cloaked Figure holding a hammer. The other party's terrifying Soul Power left him afraid to make the slightest move.

"This is not a place you should have come to. Die!"

The Silver Hammer fell, and the passing Soul Master was blasted to death on the spot.

Looking at the man's mangled corpse, Tang Hao lowered his eyes.

"I never intended to kill. Sigh."

Only after destroying the body and erasing all traces did Tang Hao let out a breath of relief.

He carefully sensed his surroundings, and only after confirming there was no one there did he walk toward a mountain wall a hundred meters away.

As he strolled, he thought to himself:

I wonder whether the Star Luo Royal Family has any ability. I hope they aren't too useless.

Thinking of the scene he had seen when passing by Shrek, Tang Hao's eyes filled with a vicious gleam.

He understood the feelings between Xiao Wu and Tang San as if they were his own, yet his future daughter-in-law had actually been threatened by Jiang Qianhai like that.

In his heart, Jiang Qianhai's actions were already a path to death!

If not for the fact that he had not had enough time, he would have wanted to beat Jiang Qianhai to death right then and there.

Unfortunately, he could only throw Jiang Qianhai's information to the Star Luo Royal Family, who were hostile to him.

He would treat this matter as a lesson for that arrogant fellow!

He wanted to make him understand that strength was not capital for arrogance. If he could not control himself, then he would have to pay the price!

He would give him a life lesson for free. Hopefully he would like it.

Arriving before the stone wall, Tang Hao reached out and pressed a hidden corner. As Soul Power surged, the stone wall reacted.

Silently, an opening large enough for one person to pass through appeared in the stone wall.

The cave was dim, but to Tang Hao, that was nothing.

He walked inside, and in the next moment, a tenaciously surviving Blue Silver Grass appeared in his field of vision.

Tang Hao crouched before the Blue Silver Grass, his gaze unfocused.

His fingers gently stroked the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass as he murmured, "Ah Yin..."

After that, half laughing and half crying, he forced himself to sound happy as he told this Blue Silver Grass about Tang San.

However, the Blue Silver Grass with its drooping leaves did not react much, but Tang Hao had long since grown used to it. His large hand stroked it gently, his eyes brimming with tenderness.

Then he carefully took a small bottle from his chest.

"This is Water of Life. Ah Ying, try some."

As he spoke, Tang Hao poured the water in the bottle onto the roots of the Blue Silver Grass, and it was instantly absorbed by the soil.

Tang Hao wiped away his tears, said a few more words, and then chose to say goodbye.

Very soon, the cave fell into darkness once more, and the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass instantly drooped down again.

After all, without light, even the Blue Silver Emperor could not withstand it!
