Douluo: Crossing the Yuhao Star Palace Master

Chapter 126 Assassin
Hearing Ning Tian say this, Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "I'll pass. Maybe next time."

His plan was already in place, and he was just waiting for Ning Tian to enter the fray. If he were to follow Ning Tian's good intentions, there might be unforeseen circumstances.

Ning Tian gently reached out and pinched Huo Yuhao's face, feigning anger like a little girl, "Fine! My dear young master Huo! My humble abode can't even accommodate a great deity like you!"

Huo Yuhao suddenly felt immense pressure. The other five girls weren't so generous as to just watch Ning Tian act so coquettishly towards him. So, before he could say anything, the six girls surrounded him, some hitting him and others taking advantage of him, which scared Huo Yuhao so much that he quickly activated his simulation.
But then, Xiao Xiao secretly kissed him.
Realizing that someone had sneaked away, Ning Tian, ​​Wang Dong'er, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, and Wu Feng all spoke up.
However, Wu Feng didn't only try to kiss Huo Yuhao during the chaos.
After all the commotion, the girls had their fun and then let Huo Yuhao go.

According to the rotation of overnight stay rights, it was Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao's turn today. So the Lan sisters went with Ning Tian and Wu Feng to the Nine Treasures Pavilion, the merchant guild of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School in Shrek City, to spend the night, while Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao went back to the academy with Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao originally didn't want the two girls to go back with him, but he couldn't explain the reason, so he had no choice but to let them come along.

Upon exiting the north gate of Shrek City, Huo Yuhao immediately activated his first and second soul skills, instantly launching mental detection and simulation.

When they had traveled halfway, Huo Yuhao finally met the assassins that Dai Huabin had prepared for him, a total of six.

Almost at the same moment, after he had identified all his targets, Huo Yuhao immediately reached out and tightly grasped the hands of Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, then shared his mental detection with them.

Before Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao could even be surprised by Huo Yuhao's actions, they followed his directions and saw the six assassins hidden in the treetops.

Wang Dong'er asked in a low voice, "Is this an assassin?"

Xiao Xiao then asked, "It's not targeted at us, is it?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "I don't know. But I've already started the simulation. After that, none of you should move. Leave it to me."

The two girls were a little worried. Xiao Xiao spoke first, "Is it alright? Should we just go back to Shrek City?"

Wang Dong'er nodded in agreement; clearly, none of them wanted to see Huo Yuhao take any risks.

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. He had orchestrated this whole affair, yet he couldn't tell them the truth—it was his fault. But the opportunity was right in front of him, and he couldn't just give it up. After all, he was absolutely certain of success and wouldn't let Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er get hurt because of him.

With this in mind, he handed the signal flare from the inner courtyard to Xiao Xiao and said, "When I say to fire it, fire it. Wait for my signal."

Xiao Xiao held the signal flare in her hand and nodded slightly, but the worry in her eyes did not diminish at all. She and Wang Dong'er looked at each other and finally chose to believe Huo Yuhao's arrangement.

Wang Dong'er placed her other hand under Huo Yuhao's hand, her pink-blue eyes looking into Huo Yuhao's eyes, and whispered, "Promise me, no matter what, don't take any risks!" Huo Yuhao lowered his head, gently pressed his hand to her forehead, and said softly, "Don't worry, everything will go smoothly."

Wang Dong'er's face turned red, and her eyes darted away. She hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to do such a thing, and for a moment she murmured and sobbed shyly.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao was naturally very unhappy, so she grabbed Huo Yuhao's waist with one hand and said fiercely, "You can't be biased!"

Huo Yuhao chuckled awkwardly, then turned back and nuzzled her cheek against her ear for a while before Xiao Xiao reluctantly let him go.

Of course, Wang Dong'er's jealousy was triggered by his actions with Xiao Xiao, but Huo Yuhao had important matters to attend to, so she had to suppress her jealousy for the time being and let out a soft hum to express her dissatisfaction.

After reaching an agreement, Huo Yuhao began to operate the system, manipulating the simulated illusions to start directing his own project.
The assassins hidden in the treetops watched as Huo Yuhao and his companions headed towards their planned ambush point. However, Huo Yuhao inexplicably stopped and began talking to his two female companions. This significantly slowed their pace, leaving everyone puzzled.

One of the assassins closest to Huo Yuhao and his companions grinned lewdly and whispered to the commander-in-chief, "Boss, I think this kid's got some kind of flirting flirting over there. Who knows, maybe they'll start a fight later. Should we wait and see? We can ambush them once they've found a spot, hehehehe."

"Get serious! Don't forget where we're carrying out this assassination today? If the Shrek Academy people find out, we're all doomed! For the sake of the Second Young Master, we must act cautiously! If you keep thinking about lewd things, I'll ask Madam to dismiss you when we get back!"

The assassin, who had been looking like a lecherous man, immediately composed himself upon seeing his boss's fury and pleaded in a low voice, "I wouldn't dare! Please forgive me, boss!"

"Hmph! Everyone, pay twelve times the attention! If this doesn't work out today, you'll all come with me down to see the Duke, do you hear me?!"

The telepathic message exploded like thunder in the ears of the other five assassins, waking them up completely and making them realize that they no longer dared to underestimate the target they were trying to assassinate.

These six assassins were all veterans who had fought alongside the old White Tiger Duke. Due to their advanced age, they could no longer follow the current White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao, to the battlefield, so they stayed in the manor to protect the White Tiger bloodline and offspring. They were the secret guards belonging to the White Tiger Duke's manor.

Every son of the White Tiger Duke, upon reaching the age of twelve, would be assigned a group of men to serve him. Dai Yueheng also had his own personal guards, numbering no less than Dai Huabin's and possessing greater strength.

These elderly men from the Dark Guard Corps all came from families that had served the White Tiger Duke's mansion and received its favor. If faced with an inevitable death, each of them would choose suicide without hesitation for the sake of their families.

After all, they all knew that if they didn't commit suicide, their family would be finished.
They were already prepared when Dai Huabin assigned them this mission. No one doubted that assassinating Shrek Academy students near Shrek City would be investigated thoroughly by the academy. They simply hoped that the success of this mission would bring more benefits to their families.

Of course, this is all predicated on their success.
