Huo Yuhao looked at Xu Tianran in front of him and immediately made an exaggerated expression, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness. May I ask what business Your Highness has with me?"
His naive and unsophisticated demeanor led Xu Tianran to subconsciously conclude that Huo Yuhao was definitely not of noble birth.
In contrast, the feeling of being superior is even stronger.
Xu Tianran said calmly, "It's nothing, I'm just here to watch the game like you, what do you think?"
Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "Then how does Your Highness know my name? You must be looking for me."
Huo Yuhao was too lazy to play games with him and went straight to the point. He had already guessed why Xu Tianran had come to find him before he even came in.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had pointed it out, Xu Tianran smiled slightly, reached out and turned his wheelchair around to look at the contestants below.
"You're very clever, so guess why I contacted you?"
Xu Tianran still didn't get straight to the point, as if speaking in riddles was more in line with his identity.
Huo Yuhao pulled up a chair and sat down next to him, glancing around as he said, "Actually, we can't really guess, and didn't Your Highness just give me a hint?"
"Hahaha, the students of the Shrek Academy are indeed as good as their reputation, they are very smart." Xu Tianran laughed and waved to the guards behind him. The guards standing at the door immediately went out and closed the door.
"That's right, it's about the Ju Zi, but that's not the main reason I contacted you." Xu Tianran didn't hide anything and went straight to the point.
Huo Yuhao yawned and said, "If Your Highness has anything to say, you can simply say so. After all, it's late at night, and everyone should go home and sleep early."
"You're right. Actually, my purpose is very simple: I wonder if you, Huo Yuhao, would be willing to join the Sun Moon Empire? As long as you are willing, when I ascend the throne, I guarantee to give you preferential treatment in terms of resources until you reach the level of Super Douluo," Xu Tianran said slowly.
Huo Yuhao pondered, then asked doubtfully, "His Highness the Crown Prince's offer is very tempting, but I don't think I can win his favor, after all, we've only just met."
Xu Tianran laughed and slapped his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, saying, "Hahaha, you're right. This is our first meeting, but it's not the first time I've seen you. I think you have this value, so you have this value, don't you agree?"
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Of course, but Your Highness, I'm used to being a carefree person, and frankly, I'm not suited to staying in one place."
Xu Tianran shook his head. Huo Yuhao's refusal was within his expectations. He continued, "No need to rush to refuse. After all, a matter requires careful consideration, doesn't it? You can think it over carefully and give me your answer before the competition ends."
Huo Yuhao cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Your Highness is right. I was too hasty. I should indeed consider it."
As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, the next match began.
Because he had been talking to Xu Tianran the whole time, he hadn't even paid attention to the topic of the competition.
However, this was not important to him. With a quick glance, he immediately spotted He Caitou.
He Caitou moved quickly, looking confident, indicating that the information given by Old Tang was correct.
He Caitou's movements were very skilled; his carving knife flew through the air, and he collected the countless flying iron filings bit by bit.
During the competition, the rare metals were provided by the organizers, so these scraps were naturally allowed to be taken away.
As for unused rare metals, they cannot be destroyed.
Therefore, in order to take away more rare metals, He Caitou's speed was much slower than that of other competitors.
In order to take away more rare metals, He Caitou used a large number of Core Array, but these Core Array were of almost no help to his Soul Tool.
When you take it with you, you can simply disassemble it and reuse it, which is a very cost-effective thing.
When it comes to saving money, I, Huo Yuhao, acknowledge your Brother He!
The match proceeded at a leisurely pace, and it was roughly estimated that Huo Yuhao and He Caitou would be able to return before dawn.
Xu Tianran didn't hesitate either, saying, " Huo Yuhao, I think we can discuss my proposal while we talk."
For example, Huo Yuhao, where are you from?
Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at him and said, "Hasn't Your Highness investigated my identity?"
Xu Tianran waved his hand and said sincerely, "No, I do like to respect people's privacy. I only just found out you're from the Star Luo Empire."
"According to my informant, you should be from an ordinary small town in the Star Luo Empire, so I think you should really consider my proposal."
Huo Yuhao secretly rolled his eyes. He really didn't want to talk to Xu Tianran, this hypocritical guy, at all.
While they claim to respect people, they've secretly investigated your background thoroughly.
However, Huo Yuhao is an exception. He had long concealed his background, and unless he revealed it himself, very few people knew his identity.
That's why he would often spend time with his mother Huo Yun'er, at the tailor shop in that small town.
Even though the townspeople knew that Huo Yuhao was the third son of the Duke's Mansion, the people from the Shadow Garden were also there. What these people could find out was all information that Huo Yuhao had deliberately left behind.
Huo Yuhao replied, "Since Your Highness has already investigated thoroughly, why ask again?"
"Actually, after thinking about it, I'm not suited to stay in the Sun Moon Empire. After all, I only have a superficial understanding of Soul Tool. I'd rather be a wanderer; I'd find that more enjoyable."
Xu Tianran slowly clenched his right hand, then slowly relaxed it, and said with a smile, "Since Huo Yuhao, you're unwilling, I won't force you. By the way, how did you and Ju Zi meet?"
Huo Yuhao smiled inwardly and replied, "We are both students of Professor Xuan Ziwen. Ju Zi is just my senior; we rarely interact."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's answer without hesitation, Xu Tianran hesitated for a moment.
At the same time, a "ding" sound was heard.
The match below has ended.
Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou's confident smile below, and then scanned the works of the other contestants around him. None of them were as exquisite He Caitou's. He figured that first place was a sure thing.
Huo Yuhao immediately got up to leave.
Xu Tianran called out to him, "Wait, Ju Zi will be leaving the academy soon, and I hope she won't be disturbed during this time."
Huo Yuhao turned his head and rubbed two fingers together, saying, "Your Highness, Senior Sister Ju Zi is very popular in the academy, so if you want no one to approach her, you know what I mean."
"One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin, plus one hundred catties of rare metals."
Huo Yuhao shook his head and continued, " Ju Zi is the senior I respect the most."
"What's the meaning?"
"You'll have to pay more."
