Gu Yue: My Identity Has Been Exposed?!
Gu Yue Di Tian exchanged a glance, and in that instant, they had already communicated without a sound.
Di Tian transmitted his voice first. "My Lord, shall we ask?"
Gu Yue shifted her gaze from Di Tian's face to Huo Yuhao in the distance.
After a moment, he replied with only two words: "You say."
After receiving the order, Di Tian's gaze returned to Huo Yuhao.
After a moment of silence, he spoke.
The voice wasn't loud, and the tone wasn't exactly harsh, but each word seemed to have its edges deliberately softened, making one's heart clench even more upon hearing it.
"Apart from the Silver Dragon's Reverse Scale that Gu Yue gave you..."
He paused, his gaze darkening.
"You seem to still carry the aura of the Black Dragon Reverse Scale?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.
In fact, the moment Gu Yue Di Tian appeared, they sensed a familiar aura on Huo Yuhao —the aura of Di Tian's Reverse Scale.
However, with a formidable enemy at hand, they could not afford to investigate further.
Now that the external enemies have retreated, the dust has settled.
The doubts that had been temporarily suppressed were finally brought to the forefront.
Huo Yuhao's expression gradually turned serious, and then a thought struck him.
A beam of black light suddenly shot out from between his brows and hovered silently in front of him; it was the Reverse Scale that Di Tian had given him ten thousand years ago.
Huo Yuhao raised his hand, letting the Reverse Scale slowly rotate around his fingertip, then looked up at Di Tian.
"Uncle Gu, you're talking about... this ' Reverse Scale,' right?"
The room fell silent for a moment.
Gu Yue's gaze lingered on the Black Dragon Reverse Scale for a long time.
Di Tian, on the other hand, was completely stunned.
He stared at the scale on Huo Yuhao's fingertip, a scale so familiar it seemed almost unrecognizable, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
He recognized that scale.
To be precise, those were scales that had fallen from his own body, and he was intimately familiar with every trace of their aura and every pattern that clung to them.
Di Tian neither spoke nor moved.
But the turbulent emotions surging in his chest were almost impossible to suppress.
Normally, Dragon Clan only has one Reverse Scale on its vital parts.
However, Ferocious Beast are different. Every 100,000 years, after experiencing a Heavenly Tribulation, their Reverse Scale will fall off and a new one will grow. Therefore, Di Tian has a total of eight Reverse Scale in his hands.
Even though they are the same thing that is his Reverse Scale, the patterns and aura on them will differ due to the different ages.
The one in Huo Yuhao's hand at this moment was clearly the one that fell off after he survived the eight hundred thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation.
Because he was the most seriously injured and suffered the most during that ordeal.
Moreover, he gave that Reverse Scale to Spirit Ice ten thousand years ago, and later Spirit Ice returned it to him. That Reverse Scale is now in his hands.
So here's the question.
Where did Huo Yuhao get this one from?
How could there possibly be two identical Reverse Scale in this world?
Di Tian's brows furrowed more and more, and his gaze grew increasingly somber.
Just as Di Tian was racking his brains trying to figure it out, Huo Yuhao spoke up again.
"Perhaps..." A glint of insightful wisdom flashed in his eyes. "I shouldn't call you Uncle Gu, I should call you Beast God Di Tian!"
The moment the words left his mouth, Di Tian's pupils suddenly contracted.
At the same time, an extremely powerful aura poured out from his body without warning.
That aura swept through the entire hall like a whirlwind, making the surrounding air feel thick and viscous.
But that aura came and went quickly; almost as soon as it erupted, Di Tian withdrew it.
Di Tian hadn't expected that before he could even figure out what was going on, Huo Yuhao had already seen through his identity; his appearance had been altered, after all.
Di Tian's gaze returned to Huo Yuhao's face, where a faint smile was now on the young man's face.
"Looks like I was right."
Di Tian remained silent and did not speak.
The air in the hall was so quiet it felt unreal.
Huo Yuhao looked down at his empty fingertips; the Reverse Scale had been repositioned between his brows.
Then he raised his head, his gaze fixed directly on Di Tian's face.
"Senior Di Tian," his voice was neither loud nor soft, "I can explain the origin of this Reverse Scale, but before I do..."
He turned his head slightly, shifting his gaze from Di Tian to Gu Yue's figure beside him.
"Gu Yue, Senior Di Tian isn't your father, is he?"
Gu Yue raised her eyes and met Huo Yuhao's gaze.
Her expression remained unchanged, but a very subtle glint flashed in her purple eyes before she nodded.
Huo Yuhao's smile deepened, a hint of smugness in his eyes as his judgment was proven correct.
"Actually, I should have noticed it a long time ago. Although I've only met Senior Di Tian twice, the way you two interact... really doesn't seem like a father and daughter."
He paused, seemingly considering his words.
His gaze returned to Gu Yue, and he continued, "Every time Senior Di Tian looked at you, a hint of respect would flash deep in his eyes."
"That's not the look a father gives his daughter; it's as if you're the one who should be in charge."
"Therefore, Gu Yue, your status should be above that of Senior Di Tian."
Gu Yue Di Tian exchanged another glance, both of their eyes flashing with shock.
On the continent, almost all Soul Master presuppose one thing: that Beast God Di Tian is the undisputed strongest among the Soul Beast Clan and the leader of the Soul Beast Clan in the Star Dou Great Forest.
But Huo Yuhao's words just now clearly shattered this perception!
The reactions of Gu Yue Di Tian at this moment also proved that Huo Yuhao was right.
Huo Yuhao's gaze slowly swept over the two of them before he said, "In the Core Circle of Star Dou Great Forest, there is also a powerful and mysterious being."
"Even Senior Di Tian would have to address him as... Lord."
When those last two words were uttered, the air in the hall seemed to freeze for a moment.
The shock on Gu Yue Di Tian's faces could no longer be concealed. Even among the Soul Beast Clan, only a few Ferocious Beast in the Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest knew of the Silver Dragon King's existence.
Humans have absolutely no chance of accessing the secrets at this level.
But Huo Yuhao now knows!
While Gu Yue Di Tian were shocked, a deep sense of doubt simultaneously surfaced in their eyes.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the same question in each other's eyes: Who told him?
Could it be that Ferocious Beast in the Core Circle leaked information to the humans?!
The idea had barely crossed their minds when both of them rejected it simultaneously.
Those Ferocious Beast have followed the Silver Dragon King for many years, and their loyalty is beyond question. They would never leak such a secret.
But if it wasn't an internal leak, how did Huo Yuhao find out?
Both of them were filled with various speculations, but neither of them spoke for a moment.
Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yue and smiled, "So, your identity is..."
Gu Yue's heart tightened. Huo Yuhao had already directly exposed Di Tian's identity, and she originally thought that her own identity could no longer be hidden.
They had even secretly prepared themselves, thinking about how to deal with the possible situations that might arise next.
But Huo Yuhao's next words stunned both her Di Tian.
"The Lord's daughter!"
When these words were spoken, Gu Yue's first reaction was to be stunned for a moment.
My second reaction was to laugh.
She struggled to suppress the laughter that was practically rising in her throat.
His lips tightened and relaxed, relaxed and tightened again, repeating this two or three times before he finally managed to keep a serious expression on his face.
Then she nodded solemnly and gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up.
"That's right," she said, her tone perfectly steady, without a hint of weakness. "I didn't expect you to know that?"
Huo Yuhao snorted lightly, his nose slightly raised, his face full of smug satisfaction, as if to say, "Just as I expected."
"That's right, it seems my judgment was correct."
He stood up from his seat, ignoring Di Tian's gaze, and naturally walked to the seat next to Gu Yue and sat down.
Then he turned his head and looked at Gu Yue, asking, "So, Senior Di Tian will also have to call you Young Master?"
