Yuhao Discovers the Truth! Setting a Trap for the Girls

New Student Class One alone has several women with Diary Copies. Add Meng Hongchen to that, and getting the rewards won't be easy.

Meng Hongchen is incredibly lucky. She claimed all of the first day's rewards, and because it was the first time the Diary Copy rewards had been activated, she even got a Lucky Critical. Not only did her martial soul evolve to the Ultimate Ice level, she even received a Soul Ring that can grow.

A trace of envy flashed deep in Ju Zi's eyes. If she had received rewards like those, perhaps she would no longer need to rely on anyone else. With her own strength alone, she could kill the White Tiger Duke and avenge her parents in the future, couldn't she?

Still, this was already quite good. At least with the Diary Copy, as long as Huo Yuhao mentioned her name ten times in the Diary every day, even if she received no other rewards, her Soul Power would rise by one level. She could reach the Soul King rank as quickly as possible.

Remembering how Huo Yuhao had written in the Diary that she could have been the perfect model of a virtuous wife and loving mother, Ju Zi's gaze dimmed slightly before she smiled at Meng Hongchen and spoke.

"Miss Meng, if you don't mind, why don't you eat with us?"

Meng Hongchen looked Ju Zi over, but she did not refuse. Instead, she sat down directly beside Huo Yuhao.

Ke Ke found the atmosphere a little strange. After thinking for a moment, she looked at Huo Yuhao and asked with a smile.

"Yuhao, are you from Mingdu? How do you seem so familiar with Miss Meng?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly as he ate.

"I'm from Star Luo. I just happened to meet Senior Sister Meng when I came to seek refuge in the Sun Moon Empire, so she brought me to the academy."

As he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's eating motion paused slightly. His gaze suddenly turned subtle as he slowly raised his head and looked at Ju Zi and Ke Ke across from him.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao say that he was from the Star Luo Empire, Ke Ke's pupils widened abruptly, her face filled with disbelief. Ju Zi, on the other hand, appeared equally shocked on the surface, but her reaction was noticeably slower than Ke Ke's. Even her eyes showed no change at all.

With the visual enhancement granted by his Spirit Eyes, Huo Yuhao saw through her at once, no matter how well Ju Zi hid it.

Without giving anything away, Huo Yuhao savored his food and let out a soft laugh, deliberately leading Ke Ke along.

"What's wrong, Senior Sister Ke Ke? There should be plenty of people from the Original Douluo Three Kingdoms who came to the Sun Moon Empire, right?"

Ke Ke gave an awkward sound and nodded somewhat hesitantly, looking a little embarrassed.

"There are indeed many. But seeing how close you are with Miss Meng, I thought you had known her for a long time. For Miss Meng to personally bring you into the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, your talent must be incredible, Yuhao!"

Huo Yuhao waved his hands bashfully, as though he did not wish to accept such praise.

"No, no. I'm only a one-ring Soul Master. It's just that my martial soul is somewhat special and better suited for becoming a Soul Engineer, so Senior Sister Meng brought me here."

Huo Yuhao's reaction made Meng Hongchen, Ju Zi, and Ke Ke all laugh.

Meng Hongchen and Ju Zi knew the truth and understood that he was only putting on an act. Ke Ke, meanwhile, genuinely thought Huo Yuhao was just an innocent little brother. Yet at such a young age, he had crossed the continent from Star Luo to the Sun Moon Empire. There must have been some reason he had no choice but to leave.

Ke Ke had always been straightforward and unable to keep things to herself. She immediately looked at Huo Yuhao and asked curiously.

"You came all the way to the Sun Moon Empire at such a young age. Did you run into some kind of trouble?"

Huo Yuhao practically wanted to give Ke Ke a thumbs-up on the spot. What a perfectly timed question!

"Senior Sister Ke Ke should have heard of the White Tiger Duke, right? There is an irreconcilable enmity between me and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. To avoid being exterminated by them, I could only come to the Sun Moon Empire for now. Once I grow stronger, I'll go back and take revenge on them."

Hiss!

Ke Ke sucked in a sharp breath, stunned by the identity of Huo Yuhao's enemy. It was the renowned White Tiger Duke, after all. In the entire Star Luo Empire, his status was likely second only to the emperor's.

Huo Yuhao could clearly see that there was not even the slightest hint of surprise in Ju Zi's eyes!

This further confirmed the suspicion in Huo Yuhao's heart.

Otherwise, given Ju Zi's hatred for the White Tiger Duke, she absolutely should not have reacted like this! Clearly, there was a high chance that Ju Zi had already known about his irreconcilable enmity with the White Tiger Duke!

There were only two ways Ju Zi could have learned of this. One was that she had heard it from Xu Tianran. The other was exactly as Huo Yuhao had guessed: she could see what he wrote in the Diary!

But Jing Hongchen had yet to support Xu Tianran. In the princes' struggle for the throne, Jing Hongchen only wanted to remain uninvolved.

But if she really could see the Diary's contents, then the actions of not only Ju Zi, but also Meng Hongchen, Gu Yuena, and even Wang Dong'er could all be explained!

He had encountered Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen the moment he arrived at the Sun Moon Empire's border. Girls who should not have been here had appeared one after another, and even when he came to the cafeteria for a meal, he had run into Ju Zi.

Any one of these could be explained as a coincidence. But when there were too many coincidences, it meant something had to be wrong somewhere!

With that thought in mind, Huo Yuhao turned to Meng Hongchen and asked.

"Senior Sister Meng, are we really going to tour Mingdu together this afternoon? Actually, I still want to continue learning about Soul Tools from Senior Xiao Hongchen."

Meng Hongchen was startled when she heard that. She had never expected Huo Yuhao to waver. If Huo Yuhao went back into the Laboratory with Xiao, then today's reward would be out of reach again!

Was it because they had mentioned the White Tiger Duke that Yuhao wanted to continue studying Soul Tool knowledge so he could take revenge on the White Tiger Duke's Mansion sooner?

But regardless of why Huo Yuhao had suddenly changed his mind, Meng Hongchen naturally did not want the Diary Copy's reward to slip away. She hurriedly tried to persuade him earnestly.

"You spent all day yesterday in the Laboratory with Xiao. Since coming to Mingdu, you haven't even gone out to see the city. Even if you're eager for revenge, there's no need to rush so much. If you keep your emotions wound too tightly, it'll be easy for problems to arise."

Ju Zi's eyes flickered, and she added with a gentle smile.

"Miss Meng is right, Yuhao. Hatred is not the entirety of life. If you remain immersed in hatred, you'll suffer terribly."

Ke Ke's gaze swept over Huo Yuhao, Meng Hongchen, and Ju Zi. To seem a little more in tune with them, she nodded repeatedly as well.

"Miss Meng and Ju Zi are right."

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment before nodding with some reluctance.

"All right. I won't go to the Laboratory today, then. But starting tomorrow, I can't slack off anymore."

Meng Hongchen naturally had no objection. She would secure today's reward first, then figure out other ways later.

However, Ju Zi had already been mentioned seven times in the Diary, and she only needed three more mentions to receive a reward. Naturally, she did not want to watch Huo Yuhao get snatched away and monopolized by Meng Hongchen. After hesitating for a moment, she immediately smiled.

"Yuhao, would you mind if Ke Ke and I joined you and Miss Meng? We know some interesting places too. We can take you out to relax, and after we finish looking around, you should feel much better."

This was exactly what Huo Yuhao had been steering things toward, so he naturally had no objections. He immediately agreed happily. Meng Hongchen glared at Ju Zi irritably, but to avoid exposing the existence of the Diary Copy, she could only grit her teeth and agree.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao used his thoughts to write in the Diary within his mind.

Today, I'll relax for now. This afternoon, I'll tour Mingdu with Senior Sister Meng and Senior Sister Ju Zi. Starting tomorrow, though, I can't keep doing this. I have to spend most of every day in the Laboratory, learning about Soul Tools!

As Huo Yuhao lowered his head and stuffed food into his mouth, his gaze gradually deepened.

The trap has been set. Next, I can see whether anyone will jump into it—and who will jump into it. I'll verify whether my suspicion is true, and whether the truth is really what I think it is!

Who said this book was following an old formula? Step forward! This won't be over until you hand over your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets! Tips would be even better, hehe.

I said before that the Huo Cheater I write won't turn a blind eye to what happens around him. Now, let's watch Huo Cheater perform!
