Zhang Lexuan smiled gently: "But please rest assured, Your Highnesses, if the Sun-Moon Empire really has ill intentions, Shrek Academy will never sit idly by."
"Your Highness, please excuse me, Le Xuan, and take my leave."
After saying that, Zhang Lexuan stood up and left. Vina and Xu Jiujiu did not stop her and bowed and said goodbye.
Now, the two princesses had a sincere conversation face to face.
Vina smiled and said, "Jiujiu, how did your spies get this information? Xu Tianran's plan is so important that only the Sun and Moon leaders can understand it. Could it be that your Xingluo spies have infiltrated the Sun and Moon leaders?"
Xu Jiujiu smiled and said, "The identity of this spy is very secretive. He only communicates directly with me who is in charge of intelligence. I'm sorry that I can't answer truthfully."
Behind Vina, an old man stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the night view of Mingdu and said indifferently: "Or, in fact, Xu Tianran did not have such a conspiracy, and Xingluo deliberately made it up for the purpose of assassination?"
"The purpose is to drag the Tianhun Empire into the water?"
After a long pause, he turned to look at the old man.
The Nebula Douluo behind her leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Princess, Super Douluo."
The royal education he received since childhood made Xu Jiujiu appear neither humble nor arrogant when facing this unknown Super Douluo.
She smiled slightly and said, "Senior, we are all well aware of the gap in national strength between Tianhun Xingluo and Sun and Moon. The minor frictions on the border in recent years have proved that the pressure on the front battlefield is constantly increasing. Sooner or later, our defense line will be breached."
"If we can't use this opportunity to go deep into Mingdu and cause chaos in the Sun-Moon Empire, can we wait for another twenty years?"
"That's why you agreed to our request so readily, isn't it?"
The old man was silent for a moment, then he turned around and said, "The plan to assassinate Xu Tianran is in charge of the Du Sect Master. My mission is just to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess and the others."
Vina sighed and said, "We can't rely on Douling, and Shrek Academy hasn't given us a clear answer. It looks like our two countries have no choice but to take action."
Nebula Douluo nodded slightly: "Based on my experience, the executors of an assassination plan are more valuable when they are good than when they are numerous. Extra personnel will affect the plan, and even a Titled Douluo may not be more suitable."
"This time, Tian Lao and Du Zongzhu will be the main force in the assassination, and they will strive to kill with one strike."
Xu Jiujiu, Vina, and the Super Douluo old man all nodded in response.
Suddenly, the old man raised his eyebrows and shouted in a low voice: "Who is it? Come out!"
The other three were slightly stunned, and then became alert at the same time.
Was there anyone else in the room? Why didn't they notice?
Even Nebula Douluo Manyi was stunned. She was already a Titled Douluo, but she didn't notice anything unusual at all.
The old man finished drinking, turned around and stared at the room quietly.
Just a moment ago, he vaguely sensed a flash of energy fluctuation in the room, but he was not sure whether the low shout at this moment was an attempt to trick out the hidden existence.
In the past, he would not have paid much attention to this energy fluctuation, but today's situation was very special. Being in the enemy's capital, the young talents of his country might be attacked, which made him much more sensitive than usual.
The atmosphere was silent for a long time, there was no movement, and the fleeting energy fluctuation never appeared again.
"Is it my illusion?" The old man frowned and thought to himself.
Just then, a familiar figure appeared in the room: "I'm sorry, Princess, to intrude on your conversation."
Xu Jiujiu and Vina were shocked at the same time. The two Titled Douluo also looked horrified, but the reason for their horror was Huo Yuhao’s powerful concealment ability.
"Yuhao, why are you here?" Xu Jiujiu quickly calmed down and asked.
“I’m here to persuade you to give up the assassination plan.” Huo Yuhao looked at Vina again, “Your Highness Vina, I am Jiujiu’s spy. I was the one who told Xing Luo about Xu Tianran and the Holy Spirit Church’s plans.”
The shock on Vina's face also disappeared: "Huo Yuhao, you are not dead after all."
Huo Yuhao said: "Yes, I am not dead."
"It seems that what Qiu'er said is true." Vina stood up immediately, "Come with me to see the sect master. The sect master has been talking about you all the time."
Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice: "I will go to see him in person soon, but I have only one purpose for coming here today."
"What purpose?"
"I advise you to give up the assassination of Xu Tianran."
Huo Yuhao spoke word by word.
He looked at the two princesses with determination.
In the sea of spirituality, Tianmeng reminded with some concern: "Yuhao, that poisonous old man is nearby, are you sure you want to do this?"
Huo Yuhao was not surprised, but responded calmly: "This is my karma, I will have to face it sooner or later."
At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly emerged from the window, and even the Super Douluo-level old man retreated into the room out of awe.
Huo Yuhao looked towards the window with a serious expression. He was very familiar with that aura. Even though the other party was much more restrained at the moment, he still recognized it.
"Boy, I thought you were blown to pieces."
He was a tall old man with dark green hair, and it was none other than the leader of the Body Sect, Du Bushi.
“Master Du, long time no see.” Huo Yuhao raised his head slightly and without dodging, he met Du Bu Si’s gaze directly.
"Boy, you still recognize me as your sect leader." Du Bu Si snorted coldly and took a few steps forward. "Can't my Benti Sect accommodate you? You just walked away and ignored me for so many years."
He glanced at Xu Jiujiu who was standing beside him and said, "It seems that your heart is still with your Princess Xingluo?"
Xu Jiujiu's face suddenly changed, and Xingyun Douluo Manyi immediately protected her: "Master Du, Xingluo and Tianhun are allies now, please understand."
Du Bu Si snorted again: "Even if that Xu stood in front of me, I would still say this."
Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice: "Of course I remember the kindness that the Body Sect has shown me, so I am here to repay it now."
"Repay? How do you want to repay?" Du Bu Si did not act aggressively, but asked with an interested look.
Huo Yuhao said firmly: “Your assassination plan this time will definitely fail. I am here to persuade you to give up, and I will definitely take all of you away from the Sun-Moon Empire safely.”
"What a joke. You said failure means failure. Do you look down on me?"
Du Bu Si narrowed his eyes slightly, and an invisible pressure suddenly attacked Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao was no longer a weakling who could be immobilized by pressure. He withstood the pressure and asked calmly, "Dragon Emperor Douluo is now Xu Tianran's bodyguard. Poison Sect Master, do you have the confidence to take Xu Tianran down from him?"
As soon as the four words "Dragon Emperor Douluo" came out, Du Bu Si frowned obviously.
But he still said confidently: "It's just Long Xiaoyao. I don't think I am his opponent. But it's not easy for him to protect someone intact from me."
Huo Yuhao asked, “What if we add another Ultimate Douluo? That means there are two Ultimate Douluos in total?”
"The two Ultimate Douluos of the Holy Spirit Church are now in the palace. Moreover, Xu Tianran himself is a Titled Douluo. In this situation, Poison Sect Master, how confident do you think you are?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Jiujiu and Vina exclaimed at the same time: "Xu Tianran is also a Titled Douluo?"
Huo Yuhao nodded: "It is absolutely true. With two Ultimate Douluo protecting him and many level nine soul masters serving him, do you think you can really take down Xu Tianran?"
Du Bu Si's old face instantly turned gloomy. Even if he was confident, he couldn't help but waver at this moment.
At this point, Huo Yuhao raised his lips slightly and said, “Master Du, I have some information about Xu Tianran in my hand. If it is released, the effect will be hundreds of times better than assassinating him. Do you want to know?”
Du Bu Si was feeling upset and asked casually, "What?"
The long-awaited spiritual sharing was activated, and a secret about Xu Tianran was shared with Du Bushi.
His current identity and future plans were also shared with Xu Jiujiu, Vina and others in a concealed manner.
Even Du Bu Si, a peerless expert over 200 years old, was stunned after learning this secret. He was stunned for a few seconds before coming to his senses: "Is this true?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, “Really? You should also know the effect of my spiritual detection, Poison Sect Master.”
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Du Bu Si suddenly laughed out loud with his head raised in an ungraceful manner.
"Well, this is really more painful than killing him, hahahahaha——"
"As you said, this highly anticipated final of this tournament will be something he will never forget."
"Hahaha--"
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's brain trembled violently. He looked up at Du Bu Si and a stream of blood slowly flowed out of his nostrils.
This is the backlash of spiritual sharing being forcibly shut down by a strong person.
Du Bu Si grinned at him and said, "This is your punishment for leaving the Body Sect without permission. After the competition is over, I will slowly settle the score with you."
After saying that, Du Bu Si flew out of the window.
"Yuhao, are you okay?" Xu Jiujiu handed him a tissue with concern, motioning him to wipe the blood from his nose.
“It’s okay, Princess.” Huo Yuhao smiled slightly.
"I promise you that I will take you away from Mingdu safely."
……
In the hotel corridor, Huo Yuhao disappeared and slowly walked towards the top floor.
Du Bu Si's performance somewhat surprised him.
He had imagined many possible reactions of Du Bu Si: rage, madness, questioning... None of them could be as calm as he was now, as if he had known everything for a long time.
Suddenly, he stopped. In the corridor in front of him, the mysterious girl named Huo Qiuer was leaning against the wall again, waiting for his arrival.
“Have you ever seen a poisonous creature that is not deadly?” Huo Qiuer asked when Huo Yuhao approached.
"Are you surprised that he wasn't angry when we met again?"
Huo Yuhao remained invisible and said, “Yes.”
"Because I have repaid your karma. I told you that I know you too well. It's quite difficult to fool that old guy. But I am different from you. I have lived quite happily in the past few years in the Body Sect." Huo Qiuer said calmly.
Huo Yuhao was silent for a while and asked, "Why are you helping me like this?"
Huo Qiuer suddenly laughed and let out a short "hey".
She turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao, and imitated his grin, saying, "Of course, it's because I want to get a bigger reward from you. The cause and effect has simply been transferred to me."
Huo Yuhao paused and said softly, "Thank you."
Then his breath completely disappeared.
In the eyes of outsiders, Huo Qiuer was the only one in the corridor from beginning to end.
