With the matter mostly settled, Huo Yuhao prepared to take his leave. However, before that, he still needed to accomplish the purpose of his trip.

"Brother Xue, could you please give me a pass to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? I want to go find someone," Huo Yuhao said shyly.

During their casual conversation, Qian Renxue also asked Huo Yuhao to change how he addressed her.

Qian Renxue said, "Of course."

As she spoke, she took out a golden token with the character "天" (heaven) engraved on it. "Take this token. With it, you can move freely within the Royal Academy. If you need anything in the future, you can also take it to the palace or my residence to find me."

Huo Yuhao accepted the token and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Xue."

"We've troubled you today, Brother Xue, so we'll take our leave now." Huo Yuhao stood up and said goodbye to Qian Renxue and Ning Fengzhi.

"Brother Huo, why don't we have a meal together?" Xue Qinghe suggested.

Huo Yuhao shook his head, "No, I have things to do this afternoon."

Ning Fengzhi then looked at Ning Rongrong, who had been hiding behind Huo Yuhao, and asked, "Rongrong, have you had enough fun outside? Do you want to go back to the sect?"

After a short while, Ning Rongrong emerged from behind Huo Yuhao. Her pretty face was flushed, and her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

She grabbed Huo Yuhao's sleeve and stammered, "I haven't had enough fun yet, that's why I'm not going back. Just leave me alone, I'm fine with this guy."

When Sword Douluo saw that the little princess looked like she had been crying, he felt a pang of heartache and glared angrily at Huo Yuhao, saying, "Rongrong, who made you cry? Was it this brat?"

Ning Rongrong said, "Grandpa Jian, he's very good to me. I'm crying because—"

Ning Rongrong paused, tears welling up in her eyes again. "It's because your dear granddaughter was almost captured and enslaved. It was all because of that slave-hunting group formed by Prince Xuexing. Grandpa Jian, you must stand up for me!"

Huo Yuhao felt something was amiss, but he didn't show it on his face.

Ning Rongrong is really daring. Does she enjoy seeking thrills so much? She doesn't stop now, and instead gets even more excited?

Sword Douluo's eyebrows shot up, and he roared with fury, "Is this true? Prince Xuexing has actually dared to bully men and women on the grounds of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! Rongrong, come with me, Grandpa will take you to vent your anger."

Ning Fengzhi quickly stopped him, "Uncle Jian—"

Sword Douluo snorted angrily and said, "Feng Zhi, don't stop me. Do you have to wait until someone kidnaps Rongrong before you take revenge? If you have a sword, you should use it. You have to let others know that you not only have a sword, but also the decisiveness to wield it! You are too hesitant. It will be too late to make amends after something happens."

Ning Fengzhi sighed and could only watch as Sword Douluo led Ning Rongrong and Huo Yuhao away.

Qian Renxue said in a low voice, "Teacher, it might not be a bad thing to let Sword Douluo make a fuss."

Immediately afterwards, Qian Renxue recounted her conversation with Huo Yuhao that day.

Ning Fengzhi seemed to be deep in thought. "You mean, Prince Xuexing really wants to support Xue Beng's ascension to the throne?"

Qian Renxue nodded, "Most likely."

Ning Fengzhi held a string of white jade beads in his hand, frowning in thought. Perhaps it would be good to let Uncle Jian make a fuss.

Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has already placed a heavy bet on Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who took him as his disciple. If he fails to ascend to the throne in the end, they will have lost everything.

Therefore, Prince Xuexing's actions undoubtedly violated the core interests of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After a long while, Ning Fengzhi relaxed his brows and looked at Qian Renxue, saying, "Qinghe, what do you think of Huo Yuhao?"

Qian Renxue praised, "The young man is intelligent and quite talented. I can't tell his cultivation level, but his strength is not low. Moreover, he is very clever, and some of his insights and opinions are completely unlike what a teenager would think of. If it weren't for his reminder, I would probably still be being deceived by Uncle Wang and Fourth Brother. I really don't know who taught this child."

Qian Renxue's eyes gleamed; such a talent should be put to her use.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "It seems Qinghe has a high opinion of him. I also think highly of him. He has both strength and intelligence, and he can also make soul tools. I can't predict his future."

"However, Rongrong is very affectionate towards him, and he takes good care of Rongrong, which is a good thing."

Qian Renxue was taken aback and asked, "Teacher, do you mean you want to marry Rongrong to him?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said, "It depends on the two of them. If Rongrong likes it, I won't object."

Qian Renxue immediately offered her congratulations, saying, "It seems that Teacher is about to have a wonderful son-in-law."

Ning Fengzhi said, "It's still far from certain. Let's follow them and see."

After saying that, he followed the direction that Sword Douluo had left in.

Ning Fengzhi was now certain that Huo Yuhao was most likely his son-in-law. The little witch had been following him everywhere today, inseparable, almost like one person—didn't that say something?

He was fairly satisfied with his son-in-law.

Qian Renxue walked alongside Ning Fengzhi, but her thoughts were completely different from Ning Fengzhi's.

She didn't want Huo Yuhao to actually become the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If the two families were truly bound together, how could she recruit him?

What methods are there to sabotage the relationship between Huo Yuhao and Ning Rongrong?

Qian Renxue's mind raced. Should she send a woman from the Spirit Hall to sabotage their relationship?

It seems that it's not impossible.

Who can she send to Tiandou City now?

Qian Renxue thought of the boy's striking pink-gold eyes and his teasing of her, whether intentional or unintentional.

Ultimately, she decided to go herself.

This is a good opportunity to test whether the boy has truly seen through her true identity.

She always had a feeling that Huo Yuhao seemed to see right through her.

Chapter 131 Holding Prince Xuexing Accountable

"Xuexing, get out here."

Sword Douluo arrived at Prince Xuexing's mansion and soared into the air, standing atop a giant sword, overlooking the luxurious and magnificent mansion below. His booming voice echoed in all directions.

Sword Douluo's angry roar could be heard throughout most of Tiandou City. The common people and nobles on the road immediately started talking about who dared to tell Prince Xue Xing, the hegemon of the Tiandou Empire, to get lost.

Then, they saw the figure floating in the sky.

Oh, so he's a Title Douluo. That's fine then, we can still watch the show and have some fun.

Prince Snowstar, because he plays on a higher level, is not as universally disliked as Avalanche, but ordinary people still both fear and hate him.

Now that they see a powerful Title Douluo causing trouble for them, everyone is naturally applauding and cheering. Many people have even gathered in front of the Prince's Mansion, pointing and whispering excitedly.

"Bah, this old bastard finally got his comeuppance. He forced my daughter-in-law into marriage, and my poor child was beaten to death by the people of the Prince's mansion."

"And my daughter—"

Hearing the accusations from the crowd, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In the original story, it was simply outrageous that someone like that could rise to power.

That makes sense. In the original story, after Tang San learned his true identity, his stance shifted from that of a commoner to that of a nobleman. He only cared about his own interests, so how could he care about the lives of ordinary people?

Not to mention the "eternal plan" that was conceived ten thousand years later, which undoubtedly caused the deaths of tens of millions of people on the Douluo Continent.

Prince Xuexing was enjoying the beautiful girl's service with a blissful expression when he suddenly heard this thunderous voice, and his face immediately turned ashen.

He pushed aside the girls on either side, put on his coat, walked out of the main hall, and looked up at the figure standing in the sky.

"Sword Douluo".

Prince Xuexing frowned, annoyed. When had he offended the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? How dare this Sword Douluo insult him like this in front of the entire Heaven Dou City?

As a prince of a nation, doesn't he have any dignity?

Prince Xuexing walked out of the mansion with a sullen face and said in a deep voice, "Sword Douluo, I don't know how I, Xuexing, have offended your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, that you would dare to insult me ​​like this?"

"Insult you?" Sword Douluo's tone was indifferent, tinged with contempt and sarcasm.

As a titled Douluo, his five senses far surpassed those of ordinary people, so he naturally heard the discussions among the common people below. He was naturally disgusted by Prince Xuexing's actions, and said, "Today, I will not only humiliate you, but also beat you!"

After saying that, he flicked two fingers, and a sword aura slashed towards Prince Xuexing.

Even if he witnessed Prince Xuexing committing evil deeds, he would not interfere because of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Today, however, he had a legitimate reason to act, and he wanted to make Prince Xuexing remember the pain of this day forever.

As the sword light approached in an instant, Prince Xuexing was terrified.

At this moment, a dark green figure appeared before him. The person made a fist with both hands, and a ball of dark green light emerged from his palms to meet the sword light.

The two collided, the sword light dissipated, and the dark green light cluster turned into clouds and scattered.

Huo Yuhao sensed something was wrong and shouted, "This dark green mist is poisonous! Everyone hold your breath and back up!"

The dark green figure glanced coldly at Huo Yuhao, then gently lifted his right hand, and the poisonous mist slowly gathered in his palm again.

Prince Xuexing breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Dugu Bo's figure. At least his safety was now guaranteed.

Sword Douluo descended from the sky, stood in front of Ning Rongrong, sword in hand, and said coldly, "Old Poisoner, are you going to stop me?"

Dugu Bo said, "It's better to resolve enmity than to let it fester. I wonder what grudges you two have against each other? Why don't we sit down and talk?"

Sword Douluo said coldly, "This matter cannot be discussed today! Old Poisoner, you should leave."

Dugu Bo sighed and said, "I owe him a favor."

As he spoke, rings of spirit rings rose from beneath him, the nine spirit rings radiating an imposing aura as they wary of Sword Douluo.

With a gentle stroke, Sword Douluo moved Huo Yuhao and Ning Rongrong's group to a distance. Immediately afterward, nine spirit rings rose around his body.

"You can't stop me," Sword Douluo said calmly.

Dugu Bo said indifferently, "How will we know if we don't try? Let's fight outside the city."

With a battle between Title Douluos about to erupt, Prince Xue Xing panicked. He didn't know why Sword Douluo was so angry today. Had he done anything to provoke the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School recently?
