Douluo 2: The sickly sister is the group's favorite

Chapter 182: Petrified on the spot

Huo Yuxi and Xiao Hongchen waited for a while before Bai Wenxun appeared behind them quietly.

"Hello." His height was about the same as Xiao Hongchen, and Huo Yuxi was forced to tilt his head back to barely see him.

"Hello." Xiao Hongchen held her head and took two steps back.

After they had distanced themselves from each other, Huo Yuxi stood on the steps beside him and looked directly into Bai Wenxun's eyes. "Do you have something to talk to us about?"

Bai Wenxun admired her straightforwardness and said, "Huo Yuxi, a core disciple of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy."

Huo Yuxi could not deny it and motioned for him to continue.

"I have been observing you since the first game. I was planning to visit you after the game, but I didn't expect you to get here first."

When he said these words, his face was full of sincerity, and Huo Yuxi couldn't guess what he was trying to do.

Bai Wenxun ignored their reactions and continued, "I came here to ask for a favor."

"After this is done, I will do my best to satisfy whatever you want."

"What help?" Huo Yuxi was whetted by his curiosity and asked with blinking eyes.

Xiao Hongchen narrowed his eyes slightly. As the heir of Mingdetang, he was very familiar with such negotiations.

"There are often competitions in the big battle field. Some soul masters take this as a profession and sign contracts with them, letting those nobles pay for their fun."

"But some people are not satisfied with this way of making money, and have set up organizations specifically to collect some young children and raise them from a young age."

"Those with better talents can get resources to survive, while those with poor talents will be treated as waste."

Huo Yuxi frowned when he heard this, "What do you mean by treating it as waste?"

Xiao Hongchen held her hand with no expression on his face.

He'd seen far more disgusting things than this.

There aren't many soul masters in Douluo Continent, but there are many who want to change their fate by having their children awaken their spirits, just like rabbits, giving birth to a litter of them in their lifetime.

But as the saying goes, like father and son, like mother and daughter, a mouse's child is born to dig holes. If the parents' genes are not good, the child will not be able to cross this barrier.

So they could only sell some older children to nobles as slaves to supplement the family income.

Bai Wenxun turned to look at Huo Yuxi and confirmed the answer in her heart, "It's just what you think."

"In order to survive, those who join the organization can only work hard to practice, learn combat skills, and make money for it."

“What’s the difference between this and an evil soul master?” Huo Yuxi felt that the nature of both of them was to treat human life as worthless!

"There is a difference." Bai Wenxun explained, "The world of soul masters is a world where the strong prey on the weak. As long as it doesn't involve civilians, there won't be any problems."

"The children who were taken away were all soul masters. They were loopholes outside the law."

This was completely beyond Huo Yuxi's bottom line, and he turned to Xiao Hongchen for help.

But what he got was a nod of affirmation, "Xixi, this world is so cruel."

“But they are still so young!” Huo Yuxi found it hard to imagine that it was legal to massacre such young children.

"Douluo Continent is a world of kingship. If Shrek wasn't so much stronger, you would have encountered more unreasonable things."

Huo Yuxi suddenly thought of the time when he was a child in the Duke's Mansion and heard many parents scolding their children for being obedient.

At that time, she even asked Huo Yun'er what those people were doing. Only now did she realize that they were selecting assassins and servants!

Bai Wenxun waited for her to recover and said, "We were trained by the organization."

"I have participated in countless competitions, including life-and-death battles."

"This is also the reason why we came to you this time. The organization has recently teamed up with the nobles and plans to hold a life-and-death match. The winner can be included as a death warrior."

"Yunwen's age is just within this range, and he has the best talent, so he will definitely be selected." Huo Yuxi understood. Their previous living environment was not good, but they lived better than others. The reason why they came this time was because they didn't want Yunwen to be involved in such danger.

Huo Yuxi had no way of judging his actions. After all, in such an environment, no one would choose not to protect themselves.

"Then how do you want us to help you?" Huo Yuxi planned to find out the details first, and then go back to ask the teacher for advice.

Bai Wenxun pursed his lips and said, "They dealt with another group of people some time ago."

"It just so happens that I have the opportunity to contact the person in charge, who is secretly operating and letting the people go. You can find them and use this as a breakthrough point."

The people above him already suspected him. If he didn't hurry up, death would be waiting for him...

Thinking of the rhyme, he was unwilling to give up!
Huo Yuxi thought about it and nodded.

After getting her answer, Bai Wenxun was completely relieved, "I hope you can get back as soon as possible, I can't hold on for much longer."

He knew that Shrek would not easily believe a stranger's words, so he could only try his best to explain to Huo Yuxi that the situation was urgent.

“Don’t worry.” Huo Yuxi waved his hand and pulled Xiao Hongchen to leave.

When the two turned around, Bai Wenxun said again: "I'm giving you a heads up. Someone is watching you, so be careful!"

Huo Yuxi kept these words in mind and left with Xiao Hongchen.

When I returned to the lounge, Xiaoxiao and the others' battle was at a critical moment.

With her reminder, Xiao Xiao and Ma Rulong became particularly cautious, and responded immediately after noticing the two people's subtle movements.

It can be seen that the other side is really anxious, and all the weapons they took out are high-risk and high-level soul guides.

Huo Yuxi thought that the hidden weapon was somewhat similar to the Tang Sect's. If Xiao Xiao and the others had not been on guard, this attack might have really allowed them to reverse the situation.

Unlike the previous battle, the two Soul Kings did not admit defeat, but wanted to fight to the death.

If they lose this match, they will not be able to fight in the next three-way match, and they will be severely punished...

Thinking back to the pain, the two would even rather die here!

However, how could Ma Rulong, who had made sufficient preparations, let them succeed?

The defensive soul guide completely covered him and Xiao Xiao, and all attacks were blocked.

The San Sheng Soul-Suppressing Cauldron swooped down from the air and knocked the two men off the stage.

Huo Yuxi frowned at their dazed looks.

"Their reactions are not right. What that person just said should be true." Huo Yuxi originally believed 40% of Bai Wenxun's words.

Now seeing these people’s responses increase to 60%.

"Situations like this are very common in Douluo Continent, and we can't take care of so many people." Xiao Hongchen didn't quite agree with her idea of helping.

There are too many injustices in this world. They are not gods and cannot save so many people.

Huo Yuxi did not refute his words, but said: "I know, but sometimes, it's good to be able to help someone."

She rarely refuses to help out when she can.

There was once a beam of light that illuminated the world for her, so she also wanted to do her best to hold up an umbrella for the weak.

Xiao Hongchen noticed that when Huo Yuxi said this, there was a complex emotion in his eyes, sadness, guilt... as if he would leave him at any time...

"Xixi?" He subconsciously reached out and held Huo Yuxi's hand. The warmth from it made him feel that the palpitations in his heart had eased a little.

"I'm fine." Huo Yuxi could understand his fear. Although he didn't know why, he still patiently patted the back of his hand to comfort him.

As soon as Xiao Xiao came back, she saw the two people holding hands, and she was petrified on the spot.

What's going on here?
