In a coffee shop in a small town outside Shrek City
Huo Yuhao savored the drink, which he had never tried before, while waiting for Zhu Lu to arrive.
"This thing seems to have come from the Sun Moon Empire."
Huo Yuhao looked at the coffee in his hand and thought to himself.
"There are quite a few things passed down from the sun and moon; we can go there to train and see what it's like."
Just then, a beautiful figure dressed in black walked to the opposite side of him and slowly sat down.
"You've arrived." Huo Yuhao glanced at Zhu Lu and said calmly.
Zhu Lu nodded somewhat timidly, glancing warily around.
Huo Yuhao, however, took a leisurely sip of his coffee.
It wasn't that he particularly liked this special drink, but rather that he was subtly putting pressure on the other person.
Although he didn't know what Zhu Lu was hiding, he knew that Zhu Lu definitely wouldn't tell him unless he put some pressure on her.
Before Zhu Lu even arrived, Huo Yuhao had already activated his mental detection and confirmed that no powerful figures were accompanying her. Otherwise, he would probably have already made a simulated escape by now.
"What...what do you want to say to me by leaving this note?" Zhu Lu took the note out of her pocket and placed it in front of Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao picked up the note and glanced at it. The Rakshasa Poison in his hand then spread out and dissolved it.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you about Dai Huabin." Huo Yuhao released his grip, letting the crumbs of the note fall onto the table.
Sure enough, the moment Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Zhu Lu trembled, her eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Huo Yuhao with some fear.
He immediately covered his wide-open mouth.
He acted as if he knew nothing at all.
"You can tell at a glance from this appearance, right?" Huo Yuhao silently complained, but his fingers continued to tap lightly on the table, constantly putting pressure on her. At the same time, his mental energy slowly covered Zhu Lu's body in his sea of consciousness, trying to disintegrate her mentally.
However, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt as if his mental power was being hindered, and his usually invincible mental interference was blocked!
They came prepared!
At this moment, he began to look the girl in front of him in the eye.
He suddenly realized that the girl's posture seemed somewhat...deliberate?
Yes, it's so obvious!
Even someone who doesn't know the situation can tell something's wrong!
Dai Huabin is dead. Zhu Lu might be afraid of him because of the freshman competition, but her current behavior is far too fearful!
If she really knew something, wouldn't it be easier for him to notice if she showed this kind of expression at this time?
At this moment, information about the Zhu family surfaced in Huo Yuhao's mind.
Like the Dai family, they are ancient families with a history of thousands of years, and it could even be said that they were born to depend on the Dai family!
The heir of such a family must have received psychological training from a young age. How could she possibly be such a little girl who is easily frightened?
This is too deliberate, so deliberate it's like... it was all to lure him out!
So he was fooled; he wasn't the hunter, the girl opposite him was!
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao's gaze towards Zhu Lu became more serious.
The arrogance that had been unconsciously rising in my heart quietly crumbled at this moment!
The heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river!
Huo Yuhao looked at Zhu Lu, and the fingers that were lightly tapping the table stopped.
"Wow, that's quite an acting performance, Miss Zhu Lu. Tell me, why did you lure me out?"
Zhu Lu looked completely bewildered, as if she had no idea what Huo Yuhao was talking about.
"Stop pretending. Your defensive soul tool gives you away. You didn't have this soul tool on you when you were at Shrek Academy," Huo Yuhao said calmly.
If you're really scared, you'll definitely keep it on all the time; you can't take it off inside the academy and only put it on outside.
As she said this, Zhu Lu's confused look gradually disappeared, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Your martial soul is very special, and your soul skills are also unique. We must be wary."
"But now that we've already arranged to meet, there's no need to pretend anymore."
"You were the one who did Dai Huabin's thing, weren't you?"
Huo Yuhao took a small sip of coffee, said nothing, and simply looked at Zhu Lu quietly.
"Don't look at me like that. I have no evidence and it's just a guess. Before Dai Huabin made his move, he told me that he was looking for you, so I guess it was you who did it."
"Then you know, I can easily deal with you and leave now, and no one will notice," Huo Yuhao said softly, a murderous glint in his eyes.
"But what good does this do you?" Zhu Lu's lips curled into a smile as she rested her chin on her hands, looking at Huo Yuhao's face with a hint of joy in her eyes.
"The entire Dai family is looking for you now. Your opponent is the Dai family, so taking action against me will not benefit you," Zhu Lu analyzed.
But Huo Yuhao just smiled coldly: "Who doesn't know that your Zhu family and the Dai family are related?"
"That was before. The situation is different now." Zhu Lu shook her head and held up a finger. "The reason why the Dai family and the Zhu family are related is because of the Spirit Fusion Technique. Each generation's family head will form a pair of Spirit Master couples to perform the Spirit Fusion Technique."
"But did you know that the head of the Dai family hasn't married into the Zhu family for several generations?"
She held up two more fingers: "Two generations."
"The women of the previous generation of the Zhu family all died young, while the wife of the current head of the Dai family is the sister of the Xingluo Emperor."
"This has led to the Zhu family's influence declining over two generations due to the influence of certain individuals, and in a few more years they will probably be driven out of the imperial aristocracy."
"I originally thought that things would change in this generation, but it is clear that with Dai Huabin dead, the Zhu family has lost its chance to turn things around."
"So those old guys got anxious and even came up with a stupid idea: to have me seduce Dai Yueheng."
"Of course I'm unwilling. I grew up with Dai Huabin, and we have some emotional connection, but Dai Yueheng..."
When Zhu Lu got to this point, a hint of bitterness appeared on her face, but it quickly disappeared.
"So I used the powerful figure behind you, the ultimate ice expert, as an excuse to say that I could recruit him."
"Only those old guys are willing to let me go."
"But don't worry, I haven't betrayed you."
As she spoke, she winked at Huo Yuhao.
A titled Douluo with ultimate attributes could easily take on ten opponents at once!
Historically, there have only been two Title Douluos with the ultimate attributes, and without exception, they both stand at the pinnacle of the Soul Master world!
Therefore, no one doubts the prestige of a titled Douluo with ultimate attributes!
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly, but he ignored her.
Who knows if this woman is telling the truth or lying?
"So I hope you and the powerful person behind you can help me." Zhu Lu looked at Huo Yuhao with a sincere expression.
Huo Yuhao pondered Zhu Lu's words.
In other words... in the eyes of the Zhu family, I now have a Title Douluo powerhouse at the level of extreme ice behind me!
At least he's safe for now, as long as he can keep this guy in check.
Then the Zhu family... after all, they are a family with a history of thousands of years, they must have a lot of good things hidden away, let's find an opportunity to get some out.
He wouldn't miss such an opportunity to acquire resources!
"Why should we help you?" Huo Yuhao asked Zhu Lu.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was somewhat relenting, Zhu Lu's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Whatever you want, as long as we have it, we can give it to you! As long as you agree, I can apply for countless things from the family!"
"Then I want the magic herb!"
Huo Yuhao continued to make exorbitant demands, looking at Zhu Lu.
He learned about this thing from Shrek's library. Although he only knew a little bit about it, he had heard that it was a treasure that could change one's aptitude!
The reason I'm bringing this up now is just to test Zhu Lu's reaction.
But to everyone's surprise, Zhu Lu hesitated for only a moment, then gritted her teeth slightly.
"We don't have the immortal herbs, but we do have top-grade medicinal herbs, but I have to ask the elders in my clan for them."
