Huo Yuhao, I like you!
After saying this, Wang Dong's cheeks turned red, and she felt a wave of embarrassment, wishing she could cover her face with her hands and not dare to see anyone.
Huo Yuhao was also stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Wang Dong had followed him for so long just to confess his feelings?!
Huo Yuhao was not swayed by her beauty at all. He sneered inwardly, thinking, " The God King's ambition to seize me is still alive and well!"
In Huo Yuhao's view, apart from God King Tang exerting influence in secret, it was impossible for Wang Dong to have done such a thing.
Seeing the other person's lowered head, Huo Yuhao said coldly, "It's impossible between us!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong looked up at Huo Yuhao, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes misting over, and asked, "Why?"
Huo Yuhao stated bluntly, "There's no reason, I just don't like you, and we're not a good match!"
Tears welled up in Wang Dong's eyes, and she cried her heart out, but Huo Yuhao remained unmoved.
"You've seen my body, so you have to take responsibility for me!"
Wang Dong's tearful, almost desperate cry echoed like thunder across the lakeside.
This sentence was the last, and most shameless "weapon" she could think of.
She tried to use this worldly, even somewhat unreasonable "reasoning" to bind Huo Yuhao in front of her.
However, what she received in return was Huo Yuhao's even colder response, which was tinged with suppressed anger.
He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
He knew who was behind that so-called "accident".
It was that lofty God King, and Tang San who had meticulously orchestrated the game!
Wang Dong may also be an innocent pawn, but Huo Yuhao is absolutely unwilling to become a puppet in this game!
He neither wanted to nor cared to argue with Wang Dong about this "absurd debt" designed by others.
There were many people coming and going at the Sea God Lake, and he didn't want to make a big fuss and be labeled "irresponsible" or become the "scumbag" Kong Xuan talked about, since he was the victim.
You'd better go ask your father what he's been doing!
Huo Yuhao's voice was deep and resonant, carrying an almost cruel calmness as he pounded into Wang Dong, each word striking him hard. "I'll say it one last time, there's no possibility between us!"
Before he could finish speaking, he gave Wang Dong no chance to say anything more, turned around abruptly, and left quickly without looking back.
That figure, under the setting sun over Sea God Lake, cast a long, lonely yet incredibly resolute shadow.
Wang Dong froze completely in place.
Tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string, blurring Huo Yuhao's receding figure and obscuring the colors of the world around her.
"Ask my dad...?"
She muttered to herself absentmindedly, her mind blank, overwhelmed by a wave of immense sadness and the humiliation of rejection, leaving her almost unable to think.
Father?
That mysterious and distant father who left almost no clear impression on her memory?
How could this matter... be related to my father?
What exactly does Huo Yuhao know?
Countless questions churned and burst in her heart like bubbles, yet she could find no answers.
She felt icy cold all over, a sense of loneliness as if abandoned by the whole world, and an incomprehensible sense of injustice that bound her firmly to the spot.
Not long after Huo Yuhao left, another person appeared by his side.
It wasn't Wang Dong, but Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan winked at Huo Yuhao and said with a smile, " Yuhao, your resolute attitude is commendable."
From this sentence, Huo Yuhao could tell that Kong Xuan must have seen everything that had just happened.
He was a little embarrassed, then a little annoyed, and asked, " Brother Xuan, where were you hiding? How come I didn't find you?"
Kong Xuan smiled mysteriously, "Your Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is useful, but the difference in our Divine Power is still too great. It won't be so easy for you to detect me."
After saying that, his expression turned serious, and he added, "We'll be able to return to the Sun Moon soon. Even if Tang San is God King then, his influence in the Sun Moon will be limited, so you won't have to worry about anything anymore."
Huo Yuhao nodded; he also missed his life in Mingdu.
" Brother Xuan!" Huo Yuhao stopped and looked at Kong Xuan solemnly, "Before the end of this semester, I want to challenge Dai Huabin!"
Kong Xuan showed no surprise. He knew Huo Yuhao's background well, so he didn't try to dissuade him. He simply looked at Huo Yuhao calmly and asked a crucial question, "In what capacity do you want to beat him up?"
His tone was very calm, as if he were asking about something extremely ordinary.
Although Huo Yuhao is currently only at the Soul Ancestor level, Dai Huabin is already at the Soul King level.
However, Kong Xuan's matter-of-fact tone revealed his absolute confidence in Huo Yuhao's inevitable victory.
He wasn't concerned with winning or losing, but rather with how Huo Yuhao would choose to confront this long-standing feud.
Huo Yuhao's expression became extremely serious, and flames seemed to burn in his Spirit Eyes.
He slowly raised his head, his voice low but carrying an undeniable firmness. "As the 'younger brother' he once wantonly bullied and trampled underfoot!"
This identity represents all his humility, all his forbearance, and all his unbearable past in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
He wanted to use this most original and direct identity to tell Dai Huabin openly and honestly that the "bastard" he once regarded as worthless... had returned!
Upon hearing this, a knowing glint flashed in Kong Xuan's eyes. He further confirmed, "Are you prepared to expose your identity and have your past laid Yangguang for all to see?"
Huo Yuhao nodded heavily, as if the emotions he had suppressed for many years had finally found an outlet. His voice trembled slightly, but it was filled with unwavering resolve.
" Brother Xuan, I know, perhaps I'm still not mature enough."
"But... when I was a child in the Duke's Mansion, Dai Huabin, relying on his status as the eldest son, led his gang of followers to bully and beat me, and to call me and my mother so contemptuously."
"My mother eventually succumbed to illness due to overwork and passed away in despair. Dai Huabin is absolutely responsible for this!"
"I will never be at peace if I cannot avenge this wrong myself!"
Listening to Huo Yuhao's tearful accusations, Kong Xuan understood that this battle was not a simple contest of pride for Huo Yuhao, but the beginning of his revenge to sever the nightmares of the past and embark on the path of a true strongman, a cause and effect that he had to personally resolve.
Kong Xuan smiled knowingly, a smile that revealed undisguised support.
He patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, his voice firm and resolute. "Good! Now that you've thought it through, let's go fight! There's no need for any hesitation!"
He paused, his tone revealing a strong sense of confidence and protectiveness. "As for your identity, there's even less to worry about! Don't forget, you're now my grandfather's disciple."
"Even if Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Duke comes in person, what can he do? Does he dare to touch the personal disciple of the Hall Master of the Sun Moon Empire's Worship Hall?"
These words were like a shot in the arm for Huo Yuhao.
Yes, he is no longer that helpless, bullied, and destitute boy.
Behind him stood Kong Xuan, and the entire Sun Moon Empire's Worship Hall!
This identity is his greatest protection, enough to allow him to fearlessly face the power of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and carry out this long-overdue reckoning!
The last trace of hesitation in Huo Yuhao's eyes vanished completely, replaced by a burning fighting spirit and unwavering determination.
"I understand, Brother Xuan! Thank you!"
