Chapter 3 First Encounter
Seeing Cui'er gradually becoming quiet, Huo Yuhao loosened his hand that was covering her mouth and instead hugged her slender and soft waist.

Cui'er's waist was very soft, and one could smell the unique female body fragrance even in the rain, but Huo Yuhao had no intention of appreciating or feeling it. He just hoped that the guards from the Duke's Mansion would not arrive because of the girl dressed as a maid in front of him.

“Um, where is this place?” Huo Yuhao, who was much shorter than Cui’er and was sticking close to her, raised his head and asked in a low voice.

"This is the second lady's residence." Cui'er didn't know where this young man came from. She was afraid of the dagger in his hand, and a little ashamed of the movements of his hands.

Second wife? Huo Yuhao was stunned. He knew that in addition to the Duchess, Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger also had a concubine, who seemed to be the child of a large family. He didn't expect that he would climb over the wall and end up in her yard.

Moving his sight slightly, Huo Yuhao saw the somewhat surprised young woman behind the window.

The young woman opened her mouth slightly, as if she was incredulous at the scene before her. However, when her eyes fell on Huo Yuhao's dagger, her body trembled slightly.

this is not.
As the Duke's wife, she naturally knew that this dagger was the symbol of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and no one except the Duke's confidants was qualified to hold it. But how could this young man in front of her...
Moreover, there was blood!

Suddenly, a figure emerged in the Second Madam's mind. This figure was gentle and thin, like a small flower on the roadside that exuded a special fragrance, which left a deep impression on people.

"Could he be the son of Huo Yuner?" The second wife was stunned for a moment before quickly coming to her senses. She quickly turned around, took an umbrella from the house, and walked out in the rain.

Huo Yuhao watched the Second Madam gradually walk towards him, and his expression softened a little, but the dagger was still on Cui'er's neck.

He had heard from his mother about the good-natured Second Lady, who was one of the few people in the Duke's Mansion who was kind to his mother. It was said that when he was young, the Second Lady had pleaded for them, but she failed due to the strong interference of the Duchess.

For this reason, he was grateful to the Second Madam, but he did not dare to gamble, because if he took a wrong step now, he would not know how he would be treated!
"Child, don't get excited. Can you put the knife down first?" The Second Lady's voice was as gentle as her appearance, like a spring breeze.

"I know you, you are the Second Madam." Huo Yuhao said, feeling relieved in his heart.

It seems that this second lady has no ill will towards me.

That couldn't be better.

As expected, Huo Yuhao put down the dagger and loosened his grip on Cui'er. Cui'er's legs softened when she saw this. She glared at Huo Yuhao with some resentment, and then ran to the Second Madam, "Madam, I was scared to death! He jumped out of the water all of a sudden, like a monkey, holding a knife. I was really scared!"

Huo Yuhao scratched his head in embarrassment. He admitted that he was a little anxious, but he was also forced to do so.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." However, Huo Yuhao still decisively chose to apologize. After all, the way Cui'er looked at him was a little scary.
After Cui'er calmed down, the Second Madam looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "You are Huo Yun'er's son Dai Yuhao, right? How did you get over the wall?"

“I can’t explain it to you right now.” Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, “Second Madam, I have something I want to ask you for help!”

"Help?" The second wife was a little puzzled. She was also very sad after Huo Yun'er passed away last year, but why would her son ask her for help?

"I want to find the old butler. Do you know where he lives?" Huo Yuhao felt a little uneasy after saying this. He didn't know whether the Second Madam was willing to help him.

You have to know that after Duke White Tiger went out to fight, the Duke's Mansion became a place where the Duchess had the final say. If the Second Lady told her the old housekeeper's address, it would be indirectly against the Duchess.

"What do you want with him, kid?"

"To be honest, I've gotten into big trouble."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and simply informed Second Madam of his current situation. When he saw Second Madam's gradually frowning brows, Huo Yuhao became even more uncertain.

After a long while, the second lady sighed softly, "Forget it. I always thought Huo Yun'er was a miserable woman. Now her son has been forced to kill someone. Child, come with me."

A hint of joy blossomed in Huo Yuhao's eyes!
He quickly sheathed the White Tiger Dagger and strode forward to follow the Second Madam.

Cui'er walked beside the Second Lady, pouting, still looking at Huo Yuhao with some dissatisfaction.

This boy looked to be only about ten years old, so thin that one could pinch his bones. But the look in his eyes just now was extremely firm.

Moreover, his eyes seemed to have changed just now, as if they were blood-red.

But when Cui'er recalled the situation at that time, she found that Huo Yuhao had no ill intentions and his actions were just scary.

Well, a very strange boy.
Huo Yun'er also knew such a person, but she didn't expect that this young man was Huo Yun'er's son.

But now Huo Yuhao was walking behind them, his eyes were calm, and his handsome face made her unable to help but look at him a few more times. Huo Yuhao was not the kind of handsome man who could anger both heaven and man, but the more she looked at him, the more attractive he became. However, because of his thin figure, his facial features looked more three-dimensional.

After leaving the Second Madam’s villa, she specifically chose a road without White Tiger Guards and led Huo Yuhao forward.

At the end of the road is a somewhat old courtyard. The rain is now gradually weakening, and shouting sounds can be heard from inside.

The gate of the courtyard was not closed. The second wife turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao, then walked into the courtyard with Cui'er's support.

Huo Yuhao also followed in.

There were already two figures in the courtyard. The older one stood under the eaves and watched a young man doing some kind of exercise on the grass. The young man had a bare back, which was covered with rain. Although it was still summer, it was still cold to exercise in the rain. Besides, wouldn't he catch a cold?
"Wang Lao." The second wife walked up to the elder and bowed gently, then shouted to the young man who was gritting his teeth to exercise, "Li'er, come here quickly and dry yourself. It's still raining outside, how dare you train in this weather?"

"Mother, I'm fine!" The young man breathed heavily, and his speech was intermittent due to physical fatigue.

Huo Yuhao, who was standing below the Second Madam, said, "This is a training method that can stimulate the body's potential."

"You know?" Butler Wang Lao looked at the ragged young man with some curiosity, "Shuhan, who is he?"

"Mr. Wang, he is Huo Yuner's son."

"Oh, it's him." Elder Wang nodded. "You brought him here. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by Dai Hao's wife?"

“I chose a small path, so no one discovered me during this time.” The Second Madam chuckled, “Old Wang, I am a Soul Sect master after all. I can bring Huo Yuhao here without being discovered.”

"You, come here." Old Wang said no more, but turned to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao walked up to him, looked at this elderly man, and without saying a word, he knelt on the ground!

"What are you doing?"

The Second Lady was a little surprised to see this scene. She didn’t know why Huo Yuhao suddenly knelt down to Old Wang?
"Yuhao thanks Mr. Wang for taking care of my mother and me over the years. Although Yuhao has never seen you, your kindness will be unforgettable to my mother and me!"

Huo Yuhao looked at Elder Wang and spoke loudly.

There was no expression on Mr. Wang's slightly wrinkled face. "How did you know that I have been taking care of you all these years?"

"When my mother was alive, she once mentioned your name, and Yuhao has always kept it in his heart."

"Huo Yun'er, Dai Hao and she are doomed to be together. But don't you know what it means to be a man with a golden child? Get up now!"

Old Wang nodded slightly, his body suddenly shook, and he burst out with an aura of majesty without even being angry!

Huo Yuhao stood up from the ground and looked at Old Wang with excitement in his eyes.

The old man in front of him must be an extremely powerful soul master!
If he is really willing to accept me, then can I practice soul power with him?

Currently, Huo Yuhao only masters a very basic soul power cultivation technique, which cannot even be considered a technique. Coupled with long-term lack of nutrition, he has only achieved this level of cultivation at the age of ten.

“Shuhan, you can take your son back now.” Elder Wang said to the Second Madam. Before entering the house, he paused and said to Huo Yuhao, “Come in with me.”

Then, he just walked straight back into the house.

Huo Yuhao did not follow Old Wang immediately, but turned around and bowed deeply to the Second Madam!
"Second Madam, Yuhao thanks you for your help!"

"Come in." The second lady smiled at him.

Huo Yuhao nodded and was about to walk inside, but suddenly stopped and looked at Cui'er.

Cui Er looked at him in confusion, "Why are you looking at me?"

“I’m really sorry for what happened just now. I really had no choice but to do that. If you had called someone over, I would have been finished.” Huo Yuhao apologized again.

"Okay, I'm not injured, so you don't have to apologize anymore." Cui Er looked at the boy in front of her who was only ten years old but had suffered so much misfortune, and her heart softened. "Go in quickly, don't keep Mr. Wang waiting for too long."

"it is good."

After chuckling, Huo Yuhao did not stay any longer and turned to walk towards Old Wang’s house.

“Oh, by the way, Second Madam, and Miss Cui’er. From today on, my name is Huo Yuhao.”

The young man's voice came out slowly.

The second lady restrained her gaze, suddenly walked quickly to the boy who had stopped training, and grabbed his ear.

"Dai Luoli, didn't you hear what Elder Wang said? Why don't you hurry back with me?"

"It hurts, it hurts! Mother, can you please stop using so much force? My ears are almost broken!" Dai Luoli got up from the ground with his teeth bared. He didn't even have time to get his clothes as he was dragged out of the yard by the Second Madam.
