"What, Yuhao? You're already level thirty-nine?!"
Inside the Body Sect, Wang Dong stared at Huo Yuhao in shock, her expression complicated.
"Damn it. I should never have left."
"It's all Second Dad's fault. Hmph!"
"Last time, I missed out on a Soul Spirit because of him."
"And this time... well, he had something to do with it too."
"If those Evil Soul Masters hadn't created an illusion of Second Dad, they wouldn't have abducted me, and I wouldn't have missed out on the Immortal Herb. It's infuriating."
"No matter how I look at it, Second Dad's to blame."
Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly. "It's all right, Wang Dong. Maybe Brother Song Que still has some left."
"I'll ask him when he gets back."
Wang Dong nodded. "Thanks, Yuhao. You're the best."
Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, then said, "What happened to you this time was dangerous."
"The Evil Soul Masters, and the Star Luo Zhu Family..."
Huo Yuhao frowned, a chill flashing through his eyes.
"Wang Dong, did the Zhu Family ever say why they wanted to capture you?"
Wang Dong shook her head. "They refused to admit anything."
"Given their ties to the Star Luo Royal Family and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, we could only leave it at that for now."
"But First Dad and Second Dad said we rescued you from the Zhu Family, so they had to answer for it, whether they admitted anything or not."
"In the end, they crippled the right legs of everyone in that group from the Zhu Family. Only then was the matter settled."
Huo Yuhao nodded, his thoughts churning.
The Zhu Family... Could this be because of me?
If it really was, why didn't they come after me?
He shook his head. Forget it. There's no point dwelling on it.
