"Why did you get promoted so quickly?" Wang Dong exclaimed.
Huo Yuhao shrugged and did not answer.
Wang Dong originally wanted to comfort Huo Yuhao, but seeing his familiar attitude, the arrogance that had been dormant in his heart was aroused: "Tsk, I am one level higher than you, I don't know what you are showing off for."
Huo Yuhao was speechless and said, “Why are you still calling yourself ‘Uncle’? Have you forgotten that you are a girl?”
Wang Dong snorted, "What's wrong with girls? Can't girls call themselves "Uncle"? "
At this point, Wang Dong's face changed instantly, and he solemnly reminded him: "Huo Yuhao, when you go to my house, please don't tell my family that you found out that I'm a girl."
"Otherwise, my family, especially my second father, will never forgive you."
Huo Yuhao nodded and asked, "Wang Dong'er, your family is from the Haotian Sect, right?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"I'm just wondering, the Haotian Sect has been secluded from the world for a long time, but your family still invited me so warmly. I'm a little flattered."
"That's right. During the past holidays, I often told my family about you. This year, I haven't told them that I want to invite you, but my eldest and second uncles said that they must invite you to come and see me no matter what."
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly: "Oh? Really? Thank you very much. Where is the Haotian Sect?"
"Hehe, it's somewhere deep in the clouds." Wang Dong answered mysteriously.
Huo Yuhao smiled on the surface, but he felt an inexplicable weirdness in his heart.
The conversation with Wang Dong showed that it was not her who invited her, but her family.
Although it is a very normal behavior to invite younger classmates and friends to visit home, Ning Tian also invited him to the Jiubao Liuli Sect.
But his intuition told Huo Yuhao that it was abnormal for the hidden sect Haotianzong to invite him actively.
He kept it in mind for the time being.
The two of them moved very quickly. After leaving Mingdu, they headed northeast and soon entered the territory of the Tianhun Empire.
As Wang Dong led the way, he asked Huo Yuhao about his experiences in the past two years. Huo Yuhao concealed a lot, mainly talking about his experiences in Sun Moon Academy.
Huo Yuhao has complicated feelings towards Wang Dong.
He never imagined that his roommate would be a woman dressed as a man.
Although he had a powerful mental detection ability that could see through other people's identities, he had never thought about it, and later he accidentally saw through Wang Dong's identity.
After entering the Tianhun Empire, under the guidance of Wang Dong, the two seemed to be flying towards Tiandou City.
"Wang Dong, is the Haotian Sect next to Tiandou City?" Huo Yuhao asked with a frown.
Wang Dong chuckled and said, "I told you, my home is in the Cloud Recesses. It's not in Tiandou City, but it's not far from there."
“It’s good that we’re not in Tiandou City.” Huo Yuhao said calmly.
If I were in Tiandou City, I might meet some familiar people.
"According to the rules of my family, when we meet for the first time, I will test your strength first. Of course, you don't need to be nervous."
After flying all the way, a steep and majestic mountain finally appeared in sight. This steep peak was the tallest among the surrounding mountains, and the thick sea of clouds covered most of the peak.
"Dangdangdang, this is the Cloud Recesses. Am I kidding you? I bet you've never seen a mountain this high since you were a child."
Wang Dong had a proud look on his face as he led Huo Yuhao to land on the mountainside.
"Follow me closely and I'll take you up."
"You have to be careful. There is a group of vicious bird spirit beasts in the mist. Not only do they appear in groups, but there are also individuals that are ten thousand years old. So flying is prohibited here."
Huo Yuhao responded softly: "Yes, it is indeed the Cloud Recesses."
It is really easy to defend but difficult to attack. If there is an intruder, I am afraid there is no way to escape.
and……
Huo Yuhao used his spiritual detection, but since he approached the mountain, his spiritual detection could not see through the surrounding clouds.
The two climbed slowly, and a towering castle slowly appeared among the misty clouds.
Looking at the arched gate of the castle from afar, three powerful characters "Haotian Castle" were clearly written.
"This is the Haotian Sect." Huo Yuhao thought to himself.
Wang Dong saw Huo Yuhao's calm face and said in a depressed tone, "Aren't you surprised to see my house?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head: “No.”
"You..." Wang Dong said, "You are the first guest I brought back. Can you not react so calmly?"
Huo Yuhao said: “I really don’t feel anything, because I have seen something similar.”
This is not nonsense; it is Huo Yuhao’s true words.
The Body Sect also stands on a natural ravine, and its grandeur is no less than that of the Haotian Sect in front of it.
"Who looks down on our Haotian Sect?" A loud and deep voice sounded from the castle amidst the conversation.
The strong mental pressure was directly released on Huo Yuhao, and his face changed instantly.
This powerful pressure was stronger than any other powerful person he had encountered so far, and it forced him to mobilize all his strength to resist it in an instant.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a very strong physique walked out of Haotian Castle. The terrifying pressure directed at Huo Yuhao came from him.
He showed no sign of withdrawing his pressure.
Wang Dong saw the man coming and was about to scold him when he saw Huo Yuhao slowly raise his head. His eyes were like those of an eagle or a wolf, staring at the middle-aged man, and he spoke word by word, "Is this the way the Haotian Sect treats guests?"
This sentence was not said to Wang Dong, but Wang Dong felt his face burning when he heard it. He immediately shouted to the middle-aged man: "Second father, what are you doing? Why are you bullying my friends?"
Seeing that Huo Yuhao dared to talk back, the middle-aged man snorted coldly and was about to increase his pressure.
Seeing Wang Dong getting angry, he put away his pressure and laughed, "Not many people are qualified to enter Haotian Castle. Little guy, I just tested you a little, but at your age and with such cultivation, you are definitely qualified."
"No more nonsense, come in. My last name is Tai, you can just call me uncle."
Having said that, he ignored the two of them and turned into the castle.
Wang Dong looked at him indignantly. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Huo Yuhao beside him say calmly, "Wang Dong, the Haotian Sect doesn't seem very friendly."
The targeted pressure dissipated, and Huo Yuhao felt relaxed all over, but his hostile eyes were still fixed on the middle-aged man's departing back.
Wang Dong suddenly felt awkward and said quickly: "Yuhao, don't pay attention to my second father, he just gets sick all the time, come with me, I'll find a good place for you to stay first."
“Yeah.” Huo Yuhao did not make things difficult for Wang Dong, but just suppressed the negative emotions in his heart.
He hasn't had negative emotions like this for a long time, and the sudden outburst after a long period of peace may be more intense than before.
He cursed inwardly.
It doesn't make sense to actively invite someone to your home and then have to give them a bad look.
In the frozen plane, Tian Meng lay on the slightly shaking ice, and said in disbelief: "That man is so strong, I'm afraid he is even stronger than those old men before."
Yin Lex's old face showed an unprecedented solemn expression: "Big Bug, Little Scorpion, Snow Girl, you three had better not reveal any power or aura."
He carefully sensed the familiar auras in Haotian Castle, and his expression became more and more solemn.
From the moment he entered Haotian Castle, Huo Yuhao felt uncomfortable all over. It seemed that his spiritual detection was restricted by an invisible force. This was not a big deal. The key was that the atmosphere of the entire Haotian Castle was not right.
Depressing, dull, and cold... It seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were watching him in the dark with the gazes of greedy hunters.
Not the gray-clad men that walked by every now and then, but more like something else.
Huo Yuhao felt more and more uneasy, and his eyes became colder and colder.
He followed Wang Dong all the way to a room on the second floor of Haotian Castle.
The room is not big, and the furniture inside is all carved out of stone and is quite simple.
The two had been traveling for a whole day and could now see the clouds outside under the moonlight through the window.
Wang Dong said apologetically: "I'm sorry, although my house is quite big, the conditions are a bit simple."
Is it simple?
Huo Yuhao did not think this place was shabby. As soon as he entered the house, he felt the cold air blowing towards him. Being in a place with such strong cold air was extremely beneficial to him.
There is a clear and cold frozen spring in the pool, and even the bed is a large piece of ice chalcedony that has been frozen for thousands of years.
"It's getting late today, so I'll just talk to you for a while. I'll take you on a tour tomorrow, and then we'll go meet my eldest and second uncles." Wang Dong said.
“Then let me ask you something.” Huo Yuhao asked a question that he had always been very curious about, “The disciples of Haotian Sect should all have the surname Tang, right?”
"That's right." Wang Dong nodded in acknowledgement.
"Then why is your surname Wang instead of Tang? Is your mother's surname Tang?"
Wang Dong lowered his head and remained silent. After a moment, he replied, "I don't know either. Ever since I was old enough to understand, I have always been called Wang Dong."
"I have never seen my parents since I was a child. My eldest and second uncles have been with me since I was a child. Every time I ask them, they will only tell me that my parents are away on a business trip."
Her voice gradually became low, but soon she cheered up again and said:
"I don't know why almost all the disciples in Haotian Sect have the surname Tang, except for my eldest father, second father and me."
"If my last name was Tang, I would be called Tang Dong. Yuhao, if your last name was Tang, would you be called... Tang Hao?"
Huo Yuhao corrected her: "My last name is Huo, not Tang. Please don't let your imagination run wild."
"Tang Hao... I always feel that this name is so familiar..." Wang Dong muttered to himself.
She shook her head and said, "It's getting late, you should get some rest first. Hey, this is the Hanyu Room I specially selected for you. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After Wang Dong left the room, Huo Yuhao immediately put away his smile and closed the door tightly.
"Yuhao, that gorilla-like human is very strong, almost as strong as the dark old man, and there is a guy on the third floor who is stronger than him." Tianmeng said timidly.
“I always feel uneasy. There are countless strange things happening in the Haotian Sect.” Huo Yuhao frowned and said, “I’m afraid I shouldn’t have come.”
He turned his head to look at the big bed made of ten-thousand-year-old ice jade, and a pure cold air emanated from it.
On the third floor of Haotian Castle, Wang Dong walked into a large room with an angry look on her face. Her second father was already sitting in the room, and a middle-aged man with long green hair was also sitting in the main seat.
"Second father, what are you doing?" Wang Dong asked his second father, "Didn't you say that you must invite Yuhao to come to Haotian Sect as a guest? Why are you being so rude to him?"
The middle-aged man with green hair waved at her: "Xiaodong, come here."
"Big Dad, please tell me about Second Dad. How could he..."
