At noon, Dai Luoli was chatting with Xu Yun'er. Their relationship was clearly heating up, and Dai Luoli was overjoyed.
He also understood who it was that brought him all this—the one who gave him the marriage contract with his beloved Xu Yun'er, the soul bone, and even mutated his martial soul to possess dual attributes.
He knew exactly who this benefactor was. In fact, sometimes Dai Luoli felt that Huo Yuhao was like a father to him, like a godfather bowing to his son.
Looking at his own father Dai Hao, there's a real difference. Dai Hao probably only gave him the title of son and the inherited Martial Soul.
Moreover, compared to the First Madam's two sons, she, being the youngest, was nothing at all.
This father has many wives and children, so he can't take care of his family at all, and therefore, his treatment is getting worse and worse.
She vaguely remembered that Dai Luoli thought she wasn't the worst treated one; there was another, but that brother she had never met was probably long gone.
Aunt Yun'er was the same; it seemed like Father had never cared whether they lived or died.
He wondered to himself, "What if I end up like Aunt Yun'er and her son?"
However, this feeling quickly vanished. Now he truly had a benefactor's help, and his power and status were rising steadily. His father now had high expectations for him.
It was just because of Brother Huo's words and his help that I became stronger and found happiness.
His confusion simply vanished.
When Huo Yuhao and the others arrived at the reception hall of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin were the first to tremble upon seeing Huo Yuhao's appearance. They broke out in a cold sweat and felt extremely uneasy.
Dai Luoli was overjoyed to see Huo Yuhao.
He also introduced Huo Yuhao's identity to Xu Yun'er.
He said to Xu Yun'er, " Yun'er, that's my benefactor. His name is Huo Yuhao. He's a hero of Shrek, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, and my idol."
Xu Yun'er looked at Huo Yuhao's expression, and also at her sister Xu Jiujiu affectionately holding his arm.
She said softly to Dai Luoli, "Speaking of which, I actually know this person. He's a legendary figure. Now it seems he's going to be my brother-in-law."
Dai Luoli also noticed this. "Brother-in-law, it seems so. Princess Jiujiu and the idol are so close; they seem to have some kind of special relationship."
The Star Luo Emperor Star Luo Emperor also present, and everyone stood up to pay their respects to him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty"
Even the guards and maids in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion were the same.
Huo Yuhao, however, did not accept this courtesy. This was a privilege granted to him by the Star Luo Emperor, and he dared not accept Huo Yuhao's greeting, as Huo Yuhao's reputation was simply too great now.
There is no one in the entire Douluo Continent who doesn't know him. Whether it's the Heavenly Soul Empire or the other empires, Huo Yuhao is now a legendary name, known to everyone.
Even the Star Luo Emperor wouldn't dare to provoke someone who commanded respect throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
Besides, he's now Huo Yuhao's Jiujiu -to-be older brother, and Huo Yuhao is his Jiujiu- be brother-in-law. Jiu Jiu has feelings for Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao also has feelings for Jiu Jiu. They're even in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. They're all family, so it's really inappropriate for them to exchange formalities.
The Star Luo Emperor personally invited Huo Yuhao to sit down, saying warmly, "Come, come, Yuhao, sit with me."
On either side of Huo Yuhao are the Star Luo Emperor and Princess Jiujiu. It's quite a mess, with his brother-in-law on one side and his wife on the other, while his younger brother and sister-in-law are opposite him.
After Huo Yuhao took his seat, the other side was occupied by several members of the Dai Family.
Dai Hao, Dai Yueheng, Dai Luoli.
At this moment, the three of them looked like clowns.
Forcing himself to stay alert, Dai Hao asked the Star Luo Emperor, "Your Majesty, now that the Sun Moon Empire has withdrawn its troops, the entire Douluo Continent enjoys a temporary peace. Xu Tianran has been killed, and the Sun Moon Empire has fallen into silence. What should our next decision be?"
Star Luo Emperor pondered for a moment, then replied, "Since this peace is hard-won, we will not break it. I know what you want to say, my dear minister. If we take advantage of this moment to strike the Sun Moon Empire Sun Moon Empire, we might be able to severely weaken it and leave it with no further opportunity to attack."
"But do you know what the consequences of this will be?"
" The Sun Moon Empire's desperate counterattack has implicated not only our Star Luo Empire, but also the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, which now face annihilation."
Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Duke said, "I was overthinking it."
Huo Yuhao suddenly spoke, his tone calm yet penetrating. " White Tiger Duke wants to use official duties to mask his grief, but there's no need for that. It will only make him more sorrowful."
"If you take advantage of someone's weakness to bully and harm them, what's the difference between you and a thug?"
"Just like your son Dai Huabin, who thinks that because he has a good family background, he can do whatever he wants in the academy, bully whoever he wants, since all the commoners in the academy are lowly people, so he doesn't need to care. So what if those commoners die?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin's eyes widened, his face turned deathly pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He stood up and, in a trembling voice, said to Dai Hao:
"Father, Father, I, I, I know I was wrong. I was indeed arrogant and domineering before, but now I have reformed and will not do it again."
"I was blind to your greatness before and mistakenly treated Senior Huo to a bad drink. I apologize to you here."
Dai Huabin's expression was clearly very bad. When he saw Huo Yuhao's face, it was as if he had seen a terrifying demon, no, a demon king, who could kill him at any moment.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had publicly pointed out Dai Huabin's faults, and with His Majesty the Emperor and the Princess present, White Tiger Duke would certainly have to give him an explanation. Therefore, Dai Hao wouldn't be ambiguous. " Huabin, you're not as composed as your elder brother at all. I'll punish you by banishing you from the Duke's Mansion for six months."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, his tone still calm. "Of course, I'm not making any accusations. It's just that, as subjects of His Majesty the Emperor, are nobles superior to others and can kill others at will? I strongly disagree with that."
Star Luo Emperor then said, " Yuhao is right, Brother Dai's management of his son is truly inadequate."
Dai Hao was truly being slapped in the face at this moment. "Yes, yes, Yuhao is right, Your Majesty is right, I will definitely discipline my unfilial son, no, I will discipline this rebellious son of mine properly."
Huo Yuhao's voice remained calm, "Sigh, sigh, those are all minor matters, minor matters. Huabin and Dai Yueheng are well-known figures at the Shrek Academy, unlike me. I'm just a nobody in the academy, a nobody, I can't do anything big."
Everyone was internally fuming. "If you can't accomplish great things, then there's no one in this world who can. Brother, right now, in the entire Douluo Continent, apart from a few old guys, who dares to say their influence is as profound as yours?"
