How Could Anyone Go Undercover to Mend Relations Between Enemy Factions? Right, Qian Renxue?

Yu Tianheng was momentarily at a loss for words. "Yanzi was already about to accept my courtship!" he said urgently. "Surely even Your Highness can't steal someone else's girlfriend?"

Huo Yuhao said nothing, the hint of a smile on his face. Someone had already stepped forward in his place.

"Yu Tianheng! What are you talking about? When did I ever agree?"

Dugu Yan fixed her snakelike eyes on Yu Tianheng, a chill emanating from them.

"Yanzi, you-" Yu Tianheng stared at Dugu Yan in shock. "You were clearly about to agree before..."

"That was your delusion, Yu Tianheng," Dugu Yan said coldly. "Don't flatter yourself."

At that moment, Yu Tianheng felt like a clown. He clenched his fists, glared bitterly at Dugu Yan, then whipped his head around to look at Huo Yuhao.

With a furious shout, Yu Tianheng swung a fist at Huo Yuhao, lightning surging in his palm.

Huo Yuhao's expression did not change.

"How dare you! Yu Tianheng, how dare you attack His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The three education committee members flew into a rage. In an instant, their combined pressure descended on Yu Tianheng and pinned him down. Huo Yuhao was naturally unharmed.

Qin Ming, the Imperial Fighting Team's supervising teacher, hurried forward to intervene. "Tian Heng, calm down! Tian Heng!"

Yu Tianheng finally calmed down by degrees, and the three committee members withdrew their pressure.

His face cold, Yu Tianheng shot Dugu Yan a resentful glare, then glared at Huo Yuhao before looking at his former teammates.

He had no face left to stay on the Imperial Fighting Team.

"I'm leaving Heaven Dou Royal Academy!" Yu Tianheng said coldly. "You'll regret this! Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan won't let anyone bully us."

With that, Yu Tianheng left without looking back.

He was a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and no one stopped him.

Dugu Yan watched Yu Tianheng's retreating figure, her gaze icy. She was also somewhat baffled.

Yu Tianheng came to hate me just like that?

I only rejected him, and his love turned to hate? Or does he resent me for making him lose face?

It seemed Yu Tianheng had not liked her as much as he had claimed.

Dugu Yan felt a surge of disgust toward Yu Tianheng.

She had originally been quite fond of him. He was powerful and courteous, and she had been ready to accept his courtship. Yet when the moment came, she discovered Yu Tianheng was a pewter spearhead that only looked like silver.

Not only was he impulsive and quick to anger, he had no brains at all.

Dugu Yan gave Huo Yuhao a long look.

The implication behind the crown prince's words just now had been clear enough.

Her marriage was not merely her own affair; it also concerned her grandfather's position.

Before the crown prince, Xue Qinghe, had entered the fray, she might still have ended up with Yu Tianheng. But now that the crown prince had stepped in, she could choose not to accept him, but she absolutely could not turn around and choose Yu Tianheng.

That would be a slap in the Heaven Dou Empire's face, signifying that her grandfather had chosen the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan over the Heaven Dou Empire without reservation.

Dugu Yan looked at Huo Yuhao, her voice cool. "Your Highness, I still need to consider what you said and return to discuss it with my grandfather. I hope you will forgive me."

Huo Yuhao nodded amiably. "Then I'll await your good news, miss."

He nodded to the other members of the Imperial Fighting Team, then turned and left.

The three committee members followed him. Only after they had gone some distance from the Imperial Fighting Team's training grounds did Meng Shenji, the chief committee member, speak with a worried expression:

"Your Highness, might we have offended the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan over Yu Tianheng?"

"Yu Tianheng alone cannot represent the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan," Huo Yuhao said calmly.

Besides, who was he now?

He was Qian Renxue! He was Spirit Hall's undercover agent!

If he could make the Heaven Dou Empire and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan fall out, that would be an enormous, unexpected windfall. He could laugh out loud right now.

His purpose in going undercover was to sow discord and drive the other major factions apart, so they could not join forces against Spirit Hall.

Surely no one would go undercover and then take great pains to befriend all the major enemy factions and mend relations between them?

Any thoughts, Qian Renxue?

As they walked, they reached the gates of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Huo Yuhao stopped and said to the three committee members:

"Yu Tianheng's departure from the Imperial Fighting Team will inevitably affect its strength. This was my fault. Choose someone to fill the vacancy he left as soon as possible."

"The Imperial Fighting Team still needs experience. From now on, have them travel to the Soul Fighting Arenas in the major cities to challenge opponents and hone themselves."

"Yes! We had already been considering that," the three committee members replied respectfully.

Huo Yuhao continued, "Send the Heaven Dou Second Team to the Soul Fighting Arenas in the various kingdoms to challenge opponents and gain experience as well. We can't let them behave like trash, knowing only how to bully men, prey on women, and indulge themselves, then go to the Soul Master Tournament and disgrace our Heaven Dou Empire."

The three committee members looked troubled.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the three of them, his expression commanding.

"Your Highness, the fourth prince is also on the second team. If we send him out to challenge opponents and gain experience, I'm afraid he won't agree."

Huo Yuhao snorted coldly. "Then make him get out of the second team and stay put at home."

Huo Yuhao flicked his sleeves and walked out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy with a cold expression.

Inside, however, he was delighted.

He had accomplished both of his purposes in coming to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

One, naturally, was to meet Dugu Yan.

Prince Xue Xing alone was not enough to ensure that Dugu Bo would come looking for trouble with him, but with Dugu Yan added to the mix, he had a degree of confidence.

The other, naturally, was to arrange for Xue Beng to go to Suotuo City.

That was the place he had arranged for Xue Beng to die.

There was Tang San, the Clear Sky Douluo's son; Dai Mubai, a prince of the Star Luo Empire; Ning Rongrong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess; Yu Xiaogang, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's useless son; and Xiao Wu, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form.

Only by dying there would Xue Beng meet an end worthy of his status. Only then could the curtain rise on the grand show and the situation in the Heaven Dou Empire explode with a roar.

As for whether Xue Beng would go to Suotuo City?

He had plenty of ways to make it happen.

By nightfall, Huo Yuhao finally returned to the crown prince's residence and entered the secret chamber.

Huo Yuhao looked exhausted.

Here, he could finally shed his disguise for the time being.

At that moment, he finally understood how hard it was for Qian Renxue.

Having to deal with people behind another face every day-for just one day, and he already felt an indescribable mental exhaustion.

If this went on long enough, he would even forget who he was.

Qian Renxue had infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire as an undercover agent at the age of nine. That Bibi Dong was truly inhuman.

And Qian Daoliu was a brain-dead idiot too.

Huo Yuhao only wanted to take a little pity on himself.

"I'm Qian Renxue now, and I've had it so hard. It should be fine to give myself a little bath, right?"

Huo Yuhao returned to his original appearance and lay down in the bathtub, looking thoroughly content.

Golden locks floated freely on the surface as the water surged and swelled, its white waves shimmering in the lamplight.

Huo Yuhao felt a little hot.

"I've had it so hard. It should be fine to relax properly, right?"

Huo Yuhao convinced himself.

The warm water eased away the day's fatigue.

After an unknown length of time, Huo Yuhao stepped out of the tub, feeling refreshed.

Huo Yuhao muttered to himself.

In the blink of an eye, the night passed. Time went by quickly.

When he got up in the morning, Huo Yuhao felt dizzy and muddleheaded, his mouth and tongue dry, and he was terribly thirsty.
