"Ah."
In the sea of spirit, the spiritual origin sealed in Tianmeng began to slowly release and merge into the surrounding ice and snow.
Huo Yuhao's already rich and pure spiritual power became even deeper at this moment, and his spiritual detection became even more transparent and detailed.
A powerful yet unnoticeable spiritual force slowly surged towards Xu Tianran, wrapping him up. Like an invisible ghost, it gently seeped into Xu Tianran's robe and into his body.
This mental force did not have any destructive power; it simply flowed along Xu Tianran's meridians toward his lower body.
However, unlike the distribution of meridians in ordinary people, Xu Tianran's meridians come to an abrupt end at his legs, leaving a bare area under his thighs.
“Is he really a disabled person?”
Seeing that his guess was wrong, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be stunned.
How can it be?
At this moment, the scene between the two bare thighs inevitably appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind.
Huo Yuhao felt his mind go blank, and in less than half a second, he instantly withdrew his mental power.
Unspeakable crazy joy enveloped his whole body, and an involuntary laugh was about to burst out from his vocal cords.
But Huo Yuhao didn't let himself laugh out loud.
He reached out his right hand to grab his face and suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out.
The wild laughter did not disappear, but turned into a slight tremor of the whole body.
It was obvious that he was having a hard time enduring it.
"Long live the Sun and Moon Empire!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
The students around him were still cheering, and no one noticed anything unusual about Huo Yuhao except Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
“Huo Yuhao, what’s wrong with you?” Xiao Hongchen asked with a frown when he saw Huo Yuhao suddenly laughing like a retard.
Huo Yuhao ignored him, his whole body still shaking from trying to hold back his laughter.
Xiao Hongchen cursed, “Huo Yuhao, why the hell are you going crazy all of a sudden!”
Huo Yuhao exerted force with his right hand and countless pieces of ice hit his face. The coldness and chill made him quickly calm down.
He exhaled deeply and said coldly: "Huh? Haven't I always been normal?"
Xiao Hongchen: "..."
Meng Hongchen: "..."
Would a normal person be like that just now...
Tian Meng retracted his spiritual power: "Yuhao, what did you see? Even the entire spiritual sea is shaking with you..."
Tian Meng swore that this was definitely the first time Huo Yuhao laughed like this.
“It’s hard for a normal person not to laugh, right?” Huo Yuhao’s emotions had stabilized, but the smile on his lips lingered for a long time.
"Besides, I wasn't just making fun of him. After all, being unable to be human is tragic enough. There were other reasons that made me laugh."
This is what Huo Yuhao saw just now. Not only was Xu Tianran bald under his thighs, but even in between his thighs...
Although Xu Tianran’s disability was not overturned, Huo Yuhao learned another unspeakable secret.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. I wonder if you can appreciate the dramatic effect brought about by this strong contrast."
"His Royal Highness, who is second only to the emperor and above all others, is not only extremely majestic but also extremely powerful. However, he must do his utmost to conceal his unspeakable secret and carefully keep it in his heart so that no one else can discover it."
"Because he knew that once this secret was exposed, he would instantly lose his status as the crown prince."
"The drama in this is really hilarious, haha..."
After listening to Huo Yuhao's explanation filled with laughter, Ice Queen asked, "Is that kind of thing important to the emperor of mankind?"
"Important, very important."
Huo Yuhao looked at the emperor and prince in the distance excitedly.
"No one outside knows about this now, otherwise he wouldn't be able to remain as the crown prince. If I can make good use of this information gap, I can achieve some of my own hidden goals."
Bingdi asked: "Are you trying to threaten him with this?"
“No.” Huo Yuhao rejected it. “I don’t think this is a smart idea.”
"I don't want him to know this secret."
"I have a greater use."
Huo Yuhao gently covered his mouth to hide his sinister smile.
Emperor Sun and Moon looked at the hall with satisfaction, nodded, and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"You are all the leaders and future of our Sun Moon Empire. I will not delay your meal. Pass it on, let the banquet begin."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Sun and Moon did not participate in the banquet. He just came to make a few announcements and left the hall surrounded by several people.
Huo Yuhao could see that Jing Hongchen had been accompanying the Sun Moon Emperor the entire time, but among the few people who had just followed the Sun Moon Emperor, there was an inconspicuous man in black who stayed behind.
He was the Titled Douluo that Tian Meng had mentioned earlier. After the Sun and Moon Emperor left, he quietly walked behind Xu Tianran.
Huo Yuhao was wary of this Titled Douluo.
Although the Sun-Moon Emperor only showed his face, Huo Yuhao got the good news, that is, the Sun-Moon Emperor's health was not very good.
Judging from the unstable fluctuations of his soul power and blood, he seemed to have a hidden illness.
With an emperor in poor health, a full-scale war would not have started so quickly while he was still in power.
"Huo Yuhao, you better behave yourself later. Remember that." Xiao Hongchen suddenly said in a serious tone.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yuhao asked jokingly, "Are you afraid that I will eat as much as I want?"
Xiao Hongchen said, "It's still early to eat. I told you before that someone asked to see you."
At this moment, a handsome young man with dark skin walked up to the three people.
The person who came was the third prince Xu Tianci.
The Third Prince held a wine glass and a pot of fine wine in each hand. He saluted first, and then took the initiative to say: "Brother Hongchen, and this little brother Huo, it was my fault for not disciplining you last time, and the Royal Patrol disturbed you two. I have already punished them severely. Today I will punish myself with three more glasses."
Before Xiao Hongchen and Huo Yuhao could speak, the Third Prince had already drunk three glasses of wine in a row.
Xiao Hongchen, who was always arrogant, was extremely restrained at this moment. He returned the greeting and said respectfully, "Your Highness the Third Prince, my grandfather has already reported this matter to His Majesty. Someone instigated this, and it has nothing to do with Your Highness the Third Prince. I offer you three cups in return."
As he spoke, he picked up a bottle of fine wine on the table and drank three glasses in a row.
His Royal Highness the Third Prince smiled slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Xiao Hongchen did this but he was strictly maintaining a sense of boundaries with him.
Jing Hongchen strictly educates his grandchildren in this regard, and advises them not to show goodwill to any prince easily for the time being.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince specially wanted to see us today. I wonder what it is about?" Xiao Hongchen asked.
"Then I'll get straight to the point." The Third Prince went straight to the point, "Do you remember Xu Sheng, the royal family member who rescued you that night? I want to get to know him. Do you know anything about him?"
Xiao Hongchen: "..."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
The two of them looked at each other with strange expressions, as if they were waiting for the other to continue the question.
The third prince asked, "That royal family member has the Sun Martial Spirit inherited from our Sun and Moon royal family. It is very important to us. I hope you two can tell me what you know."
But there is no royal family member Xu Sheng... He is clearly Huo Yuhao in disguise...
Xiao Hongchen was about to open his mouth to decline when a dissatisfied voice came towards the Third Prince.
"Third brother, the emperor has issued an order prohibiting the prince from contacting the Lord of the Red Dust Hall. Now that you are talking to his beloved grandson in private, do you have other intentions?"
When the Third Prince heard this, his expression instantly turned cold and he looked in the direction of the voice.
Xu Tianran was seen slowly approaching with the help of Orange.
"Brother, I am apologizing to the beloved grandson of the Red Dust Hall Master for the incident with the Royal Patrol Team a few months ago. You should know about this, right?"
The Third Prince spoke the last few words clearly, as he knew that apart from the Crown Prince, no one else could do such a thing to sow discord.
Xu Tianran ignored him. He first greeted the Hongchen brothers and sisters, then let Orange push him forward and finally stopped in front of Huo Yuhao.
"Your Highness, this is Huo Yuhao." Orange introduced.
Xu Tianran nodded approvingly: "Huo Yuhao, I have heard Orange mention you many times. I heard that you are not only talented as a soul master, but also have made great achievements in soul guides."
“Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.” Huo Yuhao lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Xu Tianran.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Xu Tianran, but he was afraid that he would burst out laughing when he looked at Xu Tianran's face...
"No need to be so humble, haha." Xu Tianran smiled gently, "With a talent like you working for our Sun Moon Empire, why should we worry about the Sun Moon Empire's prosperity?"
“Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness.” Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked into Xu Tianran’s eyes.
As soon as his eyes met Xu Tianran's, his whole body trembled.
His keen mental power detected Xu Tianran's subtle emotional fluctuations, and there seemed to be a hint of... murderous intent in the other party's mind?
Huo Yuhao was sure that he had not said anything wrong, so how did the murderous intent arise?
At this moment, the Third Prince sneered and said, "Brother, if you say I have ulterior motives, I'm afraid you're not much better, are you?"
Xu Tianran frowned, looked at the Third Prince with some disgust, snorted coldly, and said to the person behind him: "Juzi, let's go back."
Orange didn't expect Xu Tianran to decide to leave like this. They wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Huo Yuhao.
She gave Huo Yuhao a complicated look, then pushed Xu Tianran away.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Are you offended by the words of the Third Prince?" asked Orange.
“A little bit.” Xu Tianran said coldly, “But it was mostly the look in Huo Yuhao’s eyes.”
“What’s wrong with his eyes?” Juzi was puzzled. She didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with Huo Yuhao’s eyes.
She also regretted that she didn't even say hello to Huo Yuhao.
"I always feel like his eyes are mocking me and ridiculing me." Xu Tianran's tone exuded a sense of violence, which was completely opposite to the gentle temperament he had displayed before.
"And the third brother actually wanted to unite with the fifth brother. I think they are just dreaming."
