Wang Dong'er's Hidden Injury, Lovesick Heartbreak Red

Wang Dong'er turned to look at Huo Yuhao, her eyes filled with barely concealed worry. She was clearly concerned that her Second Uncle might do something outrageous.

Er Ming met her uneasy gaze, he couldn't help but think to himself, "Girls are more outgoing."

She's not even married yet, and she's already learned to side with outsiders. He can only watch helplessly.

He waved his hand dismissively, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to him. We'll just talk about men's topics."

Wang Dong'er glanced at Huo Yuhao again, and only after Huo Yuhao nodded slightly to her did she look away, leaving the reception room with a hint of unease, turning back every few steps.

The door was gently closed, leaving only Huo Yuhao and Er Ming in the reception room.

Er Ming leaned back on the sofa, calmly looking at Huo Yuhao.

After a moment of silence, he spoke, his tone more serious than ever before. "Kid, I'm asking you, do you really like Dong'er?"

Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao replied almost as soon as he finished speaking, "Of course."

Er Ming's expression remained ambiguous. He then sighed softly and said, "Dong'er was born in the Clear Sky Sect. She was born with congenital deficiencies and a weak constitution. Her parents tried everything they could, but to no avail."

Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but a sense of confusion welled up inside him that was difficult to suppress.

Wang Dong'er's father is Sea God Tang San, one of the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm!

How could a child of God be born with a deficiency? This was truly hard for him to believe.

However, he simply sat there quietly, without interrupting Er Ming, waiting for him to continue.

Er Ming didn't look at his expression, as if recalling a long-ago event. "Dong'er was three years old, her martial soul awakened automatically, and it was Twin Martial Souls."

"But this was not a good thing for her at the time."

"The power of the Twin Martial Souls far exceeded the limits that her frail body could withstand, placing a greater burden on her body and planting a hidden, enormous wound within her."

"Even with her father's full strength, he could only suppress the hidden injuries in her body until she was twenty years old."

Hearing Er Ming's words, Huo Yuhao's brows gradually furrowed.

His fingertips rested lightly on his knees, his mind racing as he assessed the veracity of Er Ming's words.

Is Wang Dong'er really in Life God danger?

If it's true, what was the other person's real purpose in bringing these things up with him?

He had no answer to the first question, but the answer to the second question was given in Er Ming's next comment.

"After years of searching and investigation, Dong'er's parents finally found a miraculous Immortal Herb that could heal the hidden injuries in her body."

"However, the conditions for picking this Immortal Herb are extremely demanding; one must have a unique and unconditional love for Dong'er to be able to pick it."

He paused, his gaze falling on Huo Yuhao's face, his tone growing heavier. "Since you say you truly love Dong'er, then go and gather this Immortal Herb."

"This will prove your sincerity towards her, and it will also save Dong'er's life."

Huo Yuhao had read the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and was familiar with the various rare and precious materials recorded in it. Based on Er Ming's description, he had roughly determined what the Immortal Herb the other party was talking about was.

He had seen the flower "Lovesick Heartbreak Red" around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He loves Wang Dong'er, and he doesn't deny that.

But that love was not "the only one".

Huo Yuhao was filled with complex emotions, but he didn't show the slightest sign of it on his face.

He knew that he still had to put on an act in front of Er Ming.

Almost as soon as Er Ming finished speaking, he asked with just the right amount of urgency, "Senior, what kind of Immortal Herb is it? Where can I find it?"

Er Ming seemed to have anticipated this question. He calmly took out a folded map, placed it on the coffee table beside him, and pointed to it with his finger. "This Immortal Herb is called the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. As for its location... it's on this map."

This was a test that Tang San had designed long ago. He had told Da Ming and Er Ming that wanting to be his son-in-law was not an easy thing.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately straightened his expression, took the map in his hand, and stated, "Don't worry, senior, I will go there."

His expression was sincere, and his gaze was firm. Even Er Ming was sitting next to him, couldn't help but nod slightly, as if he had finally gained some recognition for this young man.

Huo Yuhao took in the other party's reaction without revealing any flaws.

However, he quickly changed the subject. "But senior, the All-Continent Youth Soul Master Tournament is about to begin, Dong'er is one of the participants. It seems we'll have to wait until after the tournament to retrieve the Immortal Herb."

Upon hearing Er Ming, a hint of displeasure flashed in Erming's eyes.

It seems to be saying, is a mere match more important than Dong'er's life?

However, he didn't say it aloud. He remained silent for a moment, then finally replied calmly, "It's good that you know. Dong'er only has two years left until her twentieth birthday."

Huo Yuhao nodded and replied earnestly, "I will definitely heal Dong'er's hidden injuries before Dong'er turns twenty."

He said "heal hidden wounds," but he didn't say "bring the Lovesick Heartbreak Red."

After all, he wasn't sure if he could actually pluck this Immortal Herb. This subtle difference in wording was a deliberate way of leaving himself room to maneuver and buy him time.

Although Er Ming has been in human society for many years, he has spent most of his time in the Clear Sky Sect and is not proficient in the roundabout ways of speaking among humans.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's earnest promise, he just thought the kid's attitude was good and didn't think much of it.

After that, the two had nothing more to talk about, and the conversation ended uneventfully.

Huo Yuhao escorted Er Ming to Wang Dong'er's side, and only after watching the two figures disappear side by side at the end of the corridor did the smile on his face gradually fade away.

He stood there, silent for a moment.

Can a single flower truly test true love?

Even though it was recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, Huo Yuhao still didn't quite believe it.

Furthermore, he didn't believe that Tang San would stand by and watch his daughter's life be in danger, nor did he believe that a God King couldn't even heal his daughter's old injuries and had to rely on a flower to resolve them.

Of course, Huo Yuhao made this promise because he trusted his teacher, Electrolux.

Although this teacher from another world only called himself Demigod, in Huo Yuhao's heart he was almost omnipotent. He believed that the teacher should have a way to heal Wang Dong'er's hidden injuries.

With this in mind, Huo Yuhao immersed himself in his own Spirit Sea.

Before he could even speak, Electrolux had already appeared.

Electrolux had witnessed everything that happened outside and naturally knew Huo Yuhao's purpose in appearing at this moment.

He said directly, "I noticed something was off about that little girl Wang Dong'er before, but whether we can resolve it depends on a more thorough investigation."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's confidence in his teacher soared, and he immediately said, "I'm troubling you again, teacher."

Electrolux smiled and said, "There's no need for such formalities between us. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to recover to this state so quickly."
