Huo Yuhao "shyly" drank the tea before him, lowering his head like an ostrich burying itself in the dirt.
Inwardly, however, Huo Yuhao was chuckling, because he had discovered a little secret about the person opposite him.
Across from him, Xue Qinghe was growing restless. During their earlier conversation, he had gleaned no useful information whatsoever, as though the person before him really were just an ordinary little girl.
But Xue Qinghe did not believe that. All the intelligence he had received pointed toward Huo Yuhao, indicating that he had been an important participant in these events. Moreover, Xue Qinghe could sense that Huo Yuhao's cultivation was roughly at the Soul Ancestor level. At eleven or twelve years old, cultivation like that went beyond what the word "genius" could describe.
Meanwhile, inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Xue Ye held the intelligence his spies had gathered on Huo Yuhao and sank into thought.
The report was extremely strange. Aside from establishing that Huo Yuhao was not from Heaven Dou but from Star Luo, that his martial soul was Spirit Eyes, that he had spent some time at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and that he had a connection to Dugu Bo, there was no other information whatsoever. It was as though this person had appeared out of thin air.
This did not look like the information a spy would have, because it was far too straightforward. Still, Xue Ye made no other decision, choosing instead to wait and see how things stood on each side.
Some time later, two groups stopped outside the Crown Prince's Residence without having arranged to do so.
Naturally, these were Salas's and Ning Fengzhi's groups. As Xue Qinghe's teacher, however, Ning Fengzhi could go straight inside to wait, while Salas could only wait outside.
