Huo Yuhao Was Dead

"Yes, Sister Xiaotao is level 70 now. I want to get her a Soul Spirit to try and transform her Martial Soul into Ultimate Fire!"

"You really do care about your Xiaotao sister Tao, don't you?"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, Di Qiu'er's tone was somewhat sour.

"But who are you planning to have form a contract with her? It can't possibly be Uncle Dog, can it!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression stiffened. Di Qiu'er's question had stumped Huo Yuhao.

Yes, where can you find Soul Beast with the Ultimate Fire attribute?

It's impossible to actually let the Scarlet King, a Ferocious Beast's been around for 300,000 years, become Ma Xiaotao's Soul Spirit!

"It's okay, let's wait a bit! I have a feeling we'll find it."

Meanwhile, in the Inner Court.

Dai Yueheng was somewhat uneasy as he walked through the Inner Court square.

He just ran into Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochеn as he was passing by.

To his surprise, Ma Xiaotao actually stopped Ling Luochеn from causing him trouble.

Ma Xiaotao whispered a few words in Ling Luochеn's ear, and then the two of them stared at him with strange looks. This made him feel a little uneasy.

It wasn't until Dai Yueheng reached the shore of Sea God Island that he snapped out of his unease.

"How did we end up here without even realizing it?"

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard a "bang".

A figure fell from mid-air and landed in front of him.

The loud noise startled him, but he quickly recognized the person in front of him.

He felt his blood run cold.

He saw that the person in front of him was indeed Dai Li, who was monitoring the progress of her mission to assassinate Huo Yuhao.

Now, Dai Li's face was covered in blood, and her whole body was inexplicably swollen. She looked as if she had been severely tortured.

"Dai Yueheng!"

Just as Dai Yueheng was feeling somewhat lost, an old voice came from behind her.

Upon hearing this, Dai Yueheng subconsciously turned around and saw Xuan Zi standing behind him with an unpleasant expression.

"Xuan Zi, what are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Xuan Zi Dai Yueheng instinctively wanted to greet him.

However, Xuan Zi, who was usually quite amiable, had a stern face at this moment, as if she hadn't heard Dai Yueheng's words.

"Dai Yueheng, you've been caught."

Since it was morning, there were still quite a few students from the Inner Court out for a walk. When they heard a sound coming from Dai Yueheng's direction, they all gathered over there.

"Xuan Zi, what happened? I don't understand what you mean."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi sneered and threw the evidence from last night's torture directly at Dai Yueheng's face.

"Don't understand? Your family's involvement in the assassination attempt on Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao Di Qiu'er has been exposed. Now you're fired."

Xuan Zi's words caused an uproar among those around him.

Xuan Zi didn't give Dai Yueheng time to explain; instead, he grabbed Dai Yueheng by the neck and kicked him up.

With his other hand, he held the half-dead Dai Li on the ground.

He vanished from his spot in a flash.

After the group disappeared, a commotion arose from the surrounding crowd.

"Hey, did you guys hear what Xuan Zi just said? Dai Yueheng's family actually hired someone to commit murder."

"I can't get it out. Dai Yueheng usually acts so hypocritically; I never expected her to be like this in private."

"That's right!"

No one knows how these people spread the news, but the news of Huo Yuhao's assassination kept circulating in the Inner Court.

By the time it reached the Outer Court, the meaning had completely changed.

That afternoon.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er both felt something was off.

Especially since many people they encountered on the street were giving them strange looks.

They were starting to wonder if they hadn't chosen the right clothes or if their makeup had smudged.

"Lin'er, what's wrong with you two?"

They grabbed one of the female students they were on good terms with and went up to ask her something, but unexpectedly, the female student grabbed their shoulders instead.

I patted it lightly twice, then made a thumbs-up gesture, and ran off.

"What on earth is going on?"

The two of them arrived at the classroom, completely bewildered. However, to their surprise, the atmosphere inside was even stranger.

Many students in the classroom sat in their chairs with grim expressions. Around the classroom, especially on Huo Yuhao's desk, there were many foods and drinks.

There were even a few black-and-white photos of Huo Yuhao.

Upon seeing this scene, Wang Dong'er felt a sense of foreboding.

What's going on?

She scanned the students in the classroom with sharp eyes.

In the end, it was Zhou Sicheng, who was usually carefree and easygoing, who stepped forward.

"Wang Dong'er, I hope you stay strong!"

Wang Dong'er frowned upon hearing Zhou Sicheng's words.

"What exactly happened? Tell me!"

Seeing Wang Dong'er's constant urging, Zhou Sicheng could only take a deep breath and then say to her in a sorrowful tone:

"Wang Dong'er, the class monitor..."

"What's wrong?"

It's gone!

Upon hearing the word "gone," Wang Dong'er felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

In just a moment, she lost even the strength to stand.

"No... it's impossible, the class monitor... how could someone as amazing as the class monitor be gone?"

Upon hearing this news, little Xiao Xiao was standing nearby, instantly had tears welling up in her eyes, and she said in a choked voice.

"What exactly happened? Explain yourself!"

Wang Dong'er grabbed Zhou Sicheng's sleeve, her eyes bloodshot, panting heavily.

Zhou Sicheng was so startled by Wang Dong'er's actions that he stammered a little:

"It's... it's... the class monitor was harmed by people hired by Dai Huabin's family when he went to talk to them yesterday."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Wang Dong'er slumped to the ground in despair, muttering to himself.

That guy couldn't possibly be dead like that, absolutely not! Wasn't he incredibly powerful? An eleven-year-old, level 40 Soul Ancestor, Level 4 Soul Engineer. How could he be killed so easily?

"Zhou Sicheng, you're lying to me, aren't you?"

Beside him, Xiao Xiao gripped his sleeve and said, her voice trembling with emotion.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Xiao. This news came from the Inner Court. Today, some senior students from the Inner Court witnessed Dai Yueheng being captured by a powerful figure from the academy, and it's said that the powerful figure headed towards the White Tiger Family."

After saying that, Zhou Sicheng wanted to pat the two of them on the shoulders. However, remembering the difference between men and women, he stopped halfway through raising his hand.

He simply stood there and said a dry, curt sentence to the two of them.

My condolences.

In Class One, all the students knew that the relationship between Huo Yuhao and his two companions was extraordinary.

Now that this has happened, the two of them are probably not feeling very good.

Suddenly, Wang Dong'er, who had been slumped on the ground, stood up abruptly and walked straight out of the classroom.

"Dong'er, where are you going?"

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao quickly followed Wang Dong'er, worried that she might do something extreme.

I want to go home.

"Go home?"

"Right!"

As she spoke, a hint of crimson flashed in Wang Dong'er's eyes.

"Dai Yueheng, Dai Huabin, you all wait! Once I call you my Eldest Father Second Father, I'll come and send you all to heaven one by one!"

Just as the two were about to leave the classroom, a familiar voice came from outside.

"What's going on here? It's so noisy, I can hear it all from outside."
