Is this man really that good?
Huo Yuhao asked her true thoughts over and over again. She even tried to use the image of the father she had never met as described by her mother as a model to look forward to the next encounter with Duke of White Tiger, hoping that he would be able to recognize her through some similarities between herself and her mother...
But the more she thought about it, the more clearly she realized that she was simply deceiving herself!
After escaping from the White Tiger Duke Mansion and experiencing so many ups and downs in just over a year, she has become more and more clear-eyed about many things, including why her so-called father by blood, Duke of White Tiger, has never visited her mother for many years. Even if she accidentally remembered it, she only asked the vicious woman Duchess and nothing was said.
Huo Yuhao Clenched his fists so tightly that even his nails dug deeply into the soft flesh of his palms.
Except for Xia Linyuan, Gu Yuena, and Wang Dong who noticed Huo Yuhao's violent mood swings, no one else noticed anything was wrong with Huo Yuhao.
Xia Linyuan, who was sitting on Carlos's head, could see Huo Yuhao's every move and even the subtle changes in facial expressions with such cold eyes, but he did nothing.
As for Gu Yuena, the relationship between her and Huo Yuhao is not so familiar that she will take the initiative to care about the latter's emotional ups and downs, and she is not free enough to worry about it.
Different from them, Wang Dong asked slightly nervously if Huo Yuhao would be recognized by Duke of White Tiger (don't ask, I don't know why Wang Dong suddenly knew that Huo Yuhao's father was Duke of White Tiger).
After resting on the spot for a full two hours, everyone recovered from the discomfort after the rapid flight. Although their faces were still a little ugly, Soul Power and their physical strength were finally almost recovered.
When they arrived at the camp where Star Luo Empire Western Group Army, the commander of Duke of White Tiger Dai Hao, was stationed, it was already dark.
The morning sun is rising slowly from the east, shining on everyone, giving everyone a layer of dull golden light.
From a distance, everyone saw the military camps built on the mountain.
After Du Leisi Du Lao released something similar to a signal flare, everyone flying in the air had an unimpeded journey, and the soldiers training below were not distracted by them.
But Carlos was too conspicuous, and the soldiers who were practicing slowly stopped their movements and stared dumbfounded at the huge black shadow above.
Military camps passed by below, and everyone flew for nearly a quarter of an hour before they saw the distinctive large cowhide tent in the distance.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by a tall figure practicing boxing in front of the big cowhide tent.
The man's upper body was bare, revealing strong bronze muscles. He was probably close to two meters tall, and his blond hair was flying in the air.
Du Leisi led them to the man, then bowed slightly and said, "Marshal, General Linyuan, the eldest young master, and Shrek Academy's people are here."
There is no doubt that the marshal of the Star Luo Empire Western Group Army in front of him is Duke of White Tiger Dai Hao, the iron-blooded god of war who is more powerful than Star Luo Empire today. He is also the biological father of Huo Yuhao.
Upon hearing the words "General Linyuan", Dai Hao's movements obviously paused, as if he was stunned for a moment.
Dai Yueheng stood out from the crowd, knelt on one knee in front of the tall man, and said respectfully, "Father."
As Dai Yueheng's father called out, Huo Yuhao felt as if the blood in his body was flowing upstream in an instant, pouring into his head. His eyes instantly turned red, and tears almost came out of his eyes.
It's him!
That's him!
It was the man in front of me who ruined my mother's life!
This person is the guy that my mother has never forgotten, but has never visited their mother and daughter once in all these years!
Looking at Huo Yuhao who lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Dai Hao, Xia Linyuan jumped away from Carlos He jumped down, walked to her, and calmly hugged her slender waist, forcing her to look at Dai Hao, her biological father and enemy who she had hated for so long but had never met!
"Look at him." Xia Linyuan said coldly at a volume that only the two of them could hear.
Originally, Huo Yuhao had forced back the tears, but Xia Linyuan forced him to look at Dai Hao again. The subsided tears instantly surged to his head, and his eyes were covered with a hazy mist in the blink of an eye.
"I, I..." She was so choked that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence. She could only be held hostage by Xia Linyuan, looking at the tall figure through the gaps in the crowd with tears in her eyes.
Xia Linyuan Leng Leng said, "Do you still remember what you promised me back then?"
Remember, of course she remembers, how could she not remember.
She wants to become strong! Become powerful enough to fight against the White Tiger Duke Mansion on her own! She wants to personally cut off the inheritance of the White Tiger Duke Mansion's direct bloodline and avenge her mother!
But she couldn't say a word because she was too excited.
Xia Linyuan Leng Leng said, "I advise you not to think too much and not to have any illusions about him. I am telling you now that the facts are the facts. No matter how unwilling you are to believe it, you cannot change the facts. The only thing you can do now is to set your goal and target him."
"I, I understand..." Huo Yuhao said angrily and aggrievedly.
Because they were standing at the back and Xia Linyuan deliberately weakened their sense of presence, no one noticed their movements even though Xia Linyuan's height was particularly prominent among the crowd.
At this time, Dai Yueheng had already stood up and whispered a few words in Dai Hao's ear. Dai Hao immediately strode over and said with a smile, "Welcome teacher Naiya and all the top students from the Shrek Academy."
"I have met the Duke." With Inverted Clone taking the lead, everyone saluted Duke of White Tiger at the same time.
Dai Hao and Inverted Clone shook hands and said, "Everyone who has come from afar, please come in and let me show my loyalty as a landlord."
Inverted Clone smiled and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "Your Majesty, the Duke is very polite. As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, you have everything to do, so how can we nag the Duke? We are here mainly to carry out the task. As long as the Duke asks his subordinates to provide us with enough clues, it will be fine."
Dai Hao was not polite, smiled and said, "In that case, Mr. Du, you are responsible for entertaining all the distinguished guests."
Inverted Clone nodded to him and said, "Your Majesty, then we will not disturb you."
"If I have the opportunity to meet you again in the future, please allow me to show my kindness as a landlord." Dai Hao bowed his hands to everyone.
"Definitely." Inverted Clone also returned the gesture.
When Durres led everyone to another tent, Dai Hao deliberately walked through the crowd and came to Xia Linyuan. He smiled gently and said, "Linyuan nephew, long time no see., I still remember that the last time I saw you, you were only a little bit old. It felt like you were so big in just the blink of an eye, and you became the commander-in-chief of the million-strong Three Kingdoms Allied Forces on the Abyss front line, unlike the two boys from my family..."
Xia Linyuan said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "Uncle Dai is so complimentary. These false names are just flattery from the outside world. Linyuan dare not live up to them."
"Alas." Dai Hao sighed and said with a look of regret, "It would be great if this kid Huabin could learn more from you."
"Uncle Dai, Dai Huabin has done a good enough job. You will put a lot of pressure on me."
"Don't say nice things about him here. I can see his hard work and hard work in cultivation, but rather than cultivation, I hope he can learn more from you in other aspects."
Although he said he hoped Dai Huabin could study more like Xia Linyuan, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Dai Hao was very satisfied with Dai Huabin.
Born in the White Tiger Duke Mansion, which has a cruel inheritance system, although it is no longer as good as the White Tiger royal family ten thousand years ago, it is not a vegetarian. How could Dai Hao be so simple?
As the son he values the most, Dai Huabin must have his reasons for valuing him. So what does he value about Dai Huabin? His talent? Or his hard work and hard work in cultivation? Or his decisive and ruthless character?
I'm afraid only the person involved knows about it.
When Xia Linyuan came to the tent where everyone was resting, Inverted Clone said, "After dinner, everyone will rest for six hours, and then we will set off to enter Mingdou Mountains. I believe the information should arrive by then."
After a long journey, everyone was a little tired, and the target of their extermination this time was the extremely vicious Evil Spirit Master, so they had to adjust their physical condition to the best before going into the mountains to fight, so as not to lose their chain at the critical moment.
"Senior Dai Yueheng, I see that every White Tiger Guard under Duke of White Tiger is very strong. Why doesn't Duke of White Tiger send White Tiger Guard to destroy them?" Ning Tian suddenly asked.
Dai Yueheng explained, "I have been there, but too many people have gone, and the other party has no intention of taking the lead. If there are too few people, it will not have any effect."
"Death's Hand Bandit Group is also very powerful and extremely cunning. He may even have spies planted in the army. My father has sent people to exterminate him many times, but each time not only failed, but also suffered huge losses."
"Furthermore, the area where Death's Hand Bandit Group is active is too sensitive. In order to avoid causing unnecessary wars, my father has been afraid to make any big moves, so this Death's Hand Bandit Group can become increasingly rampant under our noses."
"As students of the Shrek Academy, we are not restricted by the state, so this time, I will kill them completely!"
At the end of the day, Dai Yueheng's heavy child was already filled with a fierce light.
Xia Linyuan asked casually, "As the most elite army of the empire, the Western Army Group mainly prevents Sun Moon Empire from violating the border. How could it be possible for a small bandit group of less than 300 people to insert spies?"
"Ahem!" Dai Yueheng coughed heavily, "This is just a guess. After all, not every Spirit Master has such an obvious aura like Evil Spirit Master, and the Western Group Army has half a million soldiers, so..."
"Haha." Xia Linyuan just chuckled and asked no more questions.
After resting for six hours, everyone's fatigue was gone.
It was past noon at this time, and after eating the lunch prepared by Durres, they also received all the intelligence collected by the Western Group Army.
According to intelligence, there are about three hundred members of Death's Hand Bandit Group, and they are all young adults. Among them, Spirit Master accounts for a tenth of the number. The main activity area is in the central area of the Mingdou Mountains.
There is no accurate information on who the leader of the bandit group is. We only know that he is a Spirit Master who has a cultivation level of at least Soul King. There is no way to know his abilities.
There is very little information, because this Death's Hand Bandit Group method is extremely cruel and leaves almost no one alive wherever it goes. It also greatly overlaps with the information Shrek Academy obtained through its own intelligence channels.
Through intelligence from both sides, it is currently only known that the leader of Death's Hand Bandit Group is Evil Spirit Master who is above the level of Soul King. There are about three hundred people in the entire bandit group, and about thirty of them are Spirit Master.
Due to time constraints and the fact that they had to participate in the continent-wide high-level Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, after confirming the information and getting a map showing the general direction of their departure, everyone set off immediately.
Because they might enter the territory of the Sun Moon Empire to fight, the Western Group Army could not provide manpower help. Even the military Flying Soul Tool they borrowed could not be carried into the mountain. Therefore, after everyone came to the entrance of the mountain, they returned the military Flying Soul Tool to the leader White Tiger Guard.
"Keep the formation, Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng and I are in front, the control department and the auxiliary department are behind, pay attention to the formation, ten meters apart, Huo Yuhao, you follow me, keep Spiritual Detection..." Although Ma Xiaotao looked carefree and fussy, he gave the order without hesitation.
"Let's go!"
There were three people from Ma Xiaotao in front of them, and they were moving very fast. Even though there were very few people in the Mingdou Mountains, there was no way to go forward. However, with the strong strength of Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, a passage was easily opened up. By the time it got dark, they had already penetrated deep into the Mingdou Mountains.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Ma Xiaotao said, "Everyone should rest on the spot, but no fires are allowed to avoid disturbing the enemy. Moreover, time is running out. I'm afraid we will have to search for traces of the enemy all night tonight."
After receiving the order, everyone immediately sat on the ground.
Yao Haoxuan chuckled and said, "Dai Yueheng, Duke of White Tiger is so handsome."
With the beginning of Yao Haoxuan, Dai Yueheng immediately explained to everyone the glorious deeds of Dai Hao.
Xia Linyuan was not very interested in Dai Hao's glorious deeds, but when Ma Xiaotao suddenly asked Dai Hao how many wives he had, and Dai Yueheng's answer was that Dai Hao was very self-disciplined in women's sex, then he must be a monster.
He smiled slightly, "Can I take the liberty to ask, Dai Yueheng senior, how long has it been since you last replied to the White Tiger Duke Mansion?"
