Should we take Tang Wutong to the front lines of the Mingdou Mountain Range?

Zhou Huan and Xuanzi exchanged a glance, but it was only for a moment, and neither of them said anything.

Zhou Huan was unaware that Huo Gua had already met Tang Wutong, but Xuanzi did know. Just yesterday, when Huo Gua returned to Sea God Island to report on the battle situation at the Ming Dou front, he happened to run into Tang Wutong.

Seeing that no one spoke, Huo Gua asked, somewhat puzzled, "Xuan Zi, is there a problem?"

After a moment's thought, Xuanzi agreed, "No problem, we'll do it your way. Then, this Sea God Pavilion Meeting is adjourned. Let's disperse."

Upon hearing that the meeting was adjourned, Zhou Huan immediately perked up, stood up, and pulled Zhang Lexuan to leave.

Unfortunately for him, Huo Gua walked right up to Zhou Huan and said, "Do you have time to talk?"

Let's talk... let's talk about you!

I don't have time, I don't want to chat, so why do you all like to talk to me?

I'm not just chatting online; I have important business to attend to, okay? Can't you see my girlfriend is right next to me?

Zhou Huan was internally cursing, but since Huo Gua was already in such a miserable state, he forced a smile, "Class monitor, what do you want to talk about? Let's say it here."

As soon as Xuanzi adjourned the meeting, the Pavilion Elder scattered faster than anyone else, as if they wouldn't dare call themselves big shots of the Sea God Pavilion if they didn't make a sudden disappearance.

Only Zhou Huan obediently led Zhang Lexuan to leave through the main gate.

Then, he was intercepted by Huo Gua.

Therefore, only Huo Gua, Zhou Huan, and Zhang Lexuan remained in the conference room at this time; even Beibei and Ma Xiaotao had already left.

Huo Gua, however, still looked at Zhang Lexuan and said, "Excuse me, Senior Disciple Sister, can I speak with Zhou Huan alone?"

Zhang Lexuan remained silent, glanced at Huo Gua, and left without saying a word. Inwardly, however, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. It wasn't like she wanted to hear what this scumbag had to say. Besides, if she wanted to know, why didn't she just ask Zhou Huan?

Surely her boyfriend wouldn't keep it from her?

Watching Zhang Lexuan's departing figure, Zhou Huan looked at Huo Gua with a slightly gloating expression. "Class monitor, you've really upset Senior Disciple Sister."

Knowing Zhang Lexuan as he did, Zhou Huan could tell whether his girlfriend was happy or angry from just a micro-expression.

Huo Gua to the side, was somewhat bewildered. "... Didn't I just politely apologize first? Senior Disciple Sister such a kind person, she shouldn't mind such a small thing, right?"

Haha, if it were anyone else, Sister Lexuan certainly wouldn't care.

It's a pity that it's you now. Because of Qiu'er, you're a complete scumbag in Sister Lexuan's eyes. Do you really think she'd treat you well?

Sister Lexuan hates scumbags the most. With this preconceived notion, it's meaningless no matter how polite you are.

Zhou Huan was secretly thinking to himself, but he couldn't possibly explain anything aloud. Instead, he continued, "Alright, what my girlfriend thinks of you isn't important. Tell me, what did you want to see me about? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Unexpectedly, Huo Gua said firmly, "Let's go to the Keman Tower and eat and talk."

Zhou Huan glanced at Huo Gua with interest and said, "... Then let's go."

Clearly, Zhou Huan realized that Huo Gua's intentions were definitely not as simple as just inviting him to dinner.

So, what kind of trouble is this kid up to?

However, no matter what kind of trouble it might cause, Zhou Huan wasn't afraid; she was ready to go.

Within minutes, the two arrived at the Keman Tower.

Inside the private room, after all the dishes had been served, Huo Gua didn't rush to discuss business. Instead, he first had a meal and drinks with Zhou Huan.

After they had finished eating, Huo Gua suddenly released a burst of Soul Power, sealing off the entire private room, before asking seriously, "Zhou Huan, are you going out to sea?"

Zhou Huan: "..." Uh, I really didn't expect your first question to be this. I thought you wanted to ask about Tang Wutong.

However, there was nothing wrong with discussing the sea voyage, so Zhou Huan replied, "Yes, I received some news from Di Tian that there's an opportunity at sea, and I'm planning to take Xiao Xiao and the others for a trip. The Imperial War is up to you guys; we can't have the entire Shrek involved."

Upon hearing this, Huo Gua nodded in agreement, then looked at the private room sealed by Soul Power, still feeling somewhat uneasy.

After a moment's thought, Huo Gua suddenly waved his right hand, and an oval-shaped entrance appeared behind him, leading to a gray world.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Huan's gaze narrowed slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. Of course, he knew what this was—wasn't it the Undead Demiplane of Electrolux?

So, is Huo Gua his cards on the table?

At the same time, seeing that Zhou Huan didn't seem shocked by the appearance of the Undead Demiplane, Huo Gua's heart stirred slightly, and he asked, "You've seen demiplanes before? Why don't you seem surprised at all?"

Zhou Huan shook his head and smiled faintly, "I've never seen it before, but it doesn't seem strange to me."

Huo Gua looked at Zhou Huan with a puzzled expression. "I find you very strange now."

However, Zhou Huan nodded slightly and said, "In fact, we are all very curious."

Huo Gua: "... Should I come in?" He didn't want to continue with this mystery; it was getting a bit tedious.

Should we enter the Undead Demiplane?

Zhou Huan didn't care. Before Huo Gua could even move, he stepped inside. His carefree and fearless demeanor almost made Huo Gua think that Zhou Huan was the master of the demiplane, not himself.

The entrance to the outside world disappeared instantly after Huo Gua entered the Undead Demiplane.

Zhou Huan looked around at this gray world and, as expected, it was very different from the Douluo Plane. The most obvious difference was that the Undead Demiplane was not a complete world and was missing many things.

However, this is already outrageous; not everyone can be like Electrolux, capable of building a demiplane.

Huo Gua, this Son of Destiny, still receives some preferential treatment and prestige.

After briefly observing this novel concept of the Undead Demiplane, Zhou Huan turned to Huo Gua and asked meaningfully, "Class monitor, you're being so mysterious, even releasing a demiplane. You're not just here to show me around, are you?"

Previously, when Zhou Huan was examining the Undead Demiplane, Huo Gua did not make a sound to disturb him.

At this moment, upon hearing Zhou Huan speak, Huo Gua said, "Of course not, I just feel it's safer here."

Hearing this, Zhou Huan smiled slightly and continued to ask, "Oh? Where does the squad leader think the danger comes from?"

However, Huo Gua did not answer, but instead asked hesitantly, "Zhou Huan Qiu'er, how is Qiu'er now?"

Wow!

The first person to ask was actually Wang Qiu'er. You're something else, Huo Gua!

It wasn't a waste of my little bit of encouragement beforehand; I thought it wouldn't have much effect.

But what can Qiu'er do now?

So Zhou Huan answered truthfully, "She is still asleep for now, but if this voyage goes smoothly, it should at least wake Qiu'er up. Of course, it's still a long way from her resurrection."

Zhou Huan didn't need to make empty promises to Huo Gua, but even this was enough to make Huo Gua overjoyed.

Huo Gua immediately lit up with excitement. "Really? Zhou Huan, please!"

As she spoke, she almost bowed to Zhou Huan, but Zhou Huan clearly wouldn't accept such a gesture, so she said, "No need for that. I've already said, Qiu'er is also my teammate. Just remember your promise."

After listening, Huo Gua nodded very seriously, then took a deep breath and asked with a complicated expression, "Who do you think Tang Wutong is?"

Bite!

As expected, the question eventually came down to Tang Wutong!

No wonder Huo Gua so cautious, even bringing out the Undead Demiplane.

It seems Electrolux has discovered something.

However, Zhou Huan didn't offer much explanation in response to Huo Gua's question, but simply replied, "Tang Wutong is naturally just Tang Wutong."
