Douluo: Dark-eyed White Tiger Huo Yuhao

Page 12

As the young master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Tian has been exposed to soul guides since he was a child.

Therefore, she had a clear understanding of what it meant for Huo Yuhao to become a third-level soul engineer at such a young age.

Apart from Shrek Academy, which has the most advanced soul guide technology, there are only a few level seven soul guides in the original three kingdoms of Douluo. These level seven soul guides are basically owned by the royal family and are absolutely inaccessible to ordinary people.

Except for the royal family, people can basically only have access to sixth-level soul masters at most. The Jiubao Liuli Sect now has cooperative relationships with multiple sixth-level soul masters, and is considered to be one of the Douluo Yuan Three Kingdoms sects with the best relationship with soul masters.

In order to meet this demand, the Jiubao Liuli Sect has also been training its own soul guides. However, due to issues such as venue funding, the results are no match for the Soul Guide Department of Shrek Academy. The highest number is only two sixth-level soul guides, and most people who want to be trained to third-level soul guides have to be in their thirties at least.

Huo Yuhao is in the same class as her, which means he is only about eleven years old now, but he can become a third-level soul engineer. Regardless of whether there is any water in this, it indicates that in the field of soul guides, he is the absolute number one genius in the Douluo Yuan Three Kingdoms.

To Ning Tian, an eleven-year-old third-level soul engineer is much rarer and more important than an eleven-year-old soul master.

As long as he doesn't take the initiative to be hostile to her, she should try her best to make friends with him.

Since they wanted to discuss serious matters, the outer courtyard restaurant of Shrek Academy, which had no seats, was no longer suitable. Also, since they had classes in the afternoon, it would be too late to go to a restaurant in Shrek City to eat. In the end, Huo Yuhao decided to take the initiative to show off his skills.

Huo Yuhao found an empty corner in the academy and took out kitchen utensils from his storage soul guide. He then took the fish from Zhu Yun, lit a fire and started grilling it.

Looking at the two people's skillful movements, Ning Tian's mouth twitched involuntarily.

How are these two so skilled? And why would someone carry a fish?

Noticing Ning Tian's gaze, Huo Yuhao explained with a smile:

"Xiaoyun likes the grilled fish I make. Every few days, she insists on asking me to make it for her, so we have developed the habit of carrying kitchen utensils and ingredients with us."

Anyway, the storage space of their soul guides is quite large, which is completely sufficient. It doesn't hurt to put some cooking utensils and seasonings that don't take up much space.

Since ordinary storage soul guides are not very effective in storing food, Zhu Yun even asked someone to buy her a storage soul guide specially for camping to store fish. When the food is stored in it, the shelf life will be multiplied several times.

Basically, every four or five days, Huo Yuhao would come and grill fish for her. Calculating the time, today was almost the right time.

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he skillfully sprinkled seasoning on the grilled fish, his movements extremely skillful.

After a while, the unique aroma of grilled fish emanated, which made Ning Tian and Wu Feng's eyes light up when they smelled it.

They hadn't expected Huo Yuhao's cooking to be very good, but they didn't expect it to taste so delicious.

It looks like they can enjoy themselves at noon today.

Soon, Huo Yuhao finished grilling the first fish. He handed it to Zhu Yun, and then Zhu Yun handed it to Ning Tian.

It was true that she was envious of the grilled fish made by Huo Yuhao, but she knew who the protagonist was today, and at this time she should give it to Ning Tiancai first.

Ning Tian did not refuse. After taking the grilled fish, he took a light bite and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"good to eat!"

Although she had expected this, the deliciousness of Huo Yuhao's grilled fish still exceeded her expectations.

As the eldest daughter of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tian had tasted quite a few delicacies from land and sea, but those so-called delicacies were nothing compared to Huo Yuhao's grilled fish.

She bet that she would never be able to eat such delicious grilled fish in her life.

Huo Yuhao smiled calmly.

"As long as you are satisfied, take your time to eat. The amount of fish Xiaoyun brought is definitely enough."

After saying that, he continued to grill the fish.

The reason why his grilled fish is so delicious is that practice makes perfect, but more importantly, it is his control over the heat and seasoning.

You must concentrate on this kind of work. It's okay to talk occasionally, but talking all the time will affect the quality of the grilled fish.

Soon, the grilled fish were freshly baked and went into the stomachs of the four people present.

The three girls ate a lot, and with their appetites whetted, they couldn't stop eating.

Looking at the three people eating with relish, Huo Yuhao suddenly thought of Wang Dong for some reason.

Come to think of it, I seemed to have promised that guy that I would grill some fish for him.

Huo Yuhao lowered his head and smiled.

Forget it, next time.

After all, he had something serious to discuss with Ning Tian this time, and some of the words were not convenient for Wang Dong to hear.

Chapter 16 Cooperation

After more than half an hour, the four of them were finally full.

Ning Tian felt that he had not been so absorbed in eating for a long time. Huo Yuhao's grilled fish was truly the best in the world.

She stretched her body, then turned to Huo Yuhao, looked him straight in the eye, and asked:

"Thank you for your hospitality. Let's get down to business. Huo Yuhao, you are the Huo Yuhao from the Duke's Mansion, right?"

"Well, it seems you have heard of me. The person next to me is my fiancée Zhu Yun."

Huo Yuhao had already expected that Ning Tian would know his name.

After all, he is one of the four young masters of the Duke's Mansion, and excluding the young master Dai Luoli who has almost no competitive ability, there are only three heirs competing for the position of Duke.

Coupled with the turmoil Dai Hao caused when Huo Yun'er died five or six years ago, he is even quite famous in the top society.

Ning Tian is the young master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, so it would be really strange if we had never heard of him.

Ning Tian looked at Huo Yuhao, then at Zhu Yun, and finally sighed:

"First, tell me why you came to see me. Do you have any request?"

“I hope we can have a partnership.”

In response to her question, Huo Yuhao said directly:

"I believe you've heard that Shrek Academy's elimination rate is extremely high, and the difficulty of the assessment is far beyond the reach of ordinary academies. If we reach a cooperation, many things will go much more smoothly, and we can also look after each other."

Ning Tian was silent for a moment and asked:

"Then the question is, why should I cooperate with you instead of Dai Huabin?"

She folded her hands over her chest and said calmly:

"Our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and your Duke's Mansion have a relationship spanning tens of thousands of years, so we're quite familiar with your situation. Given your relationship with Dai Huabin, if I were to collaborate with you, I'd easily be lumped into your camp, wouldn't I? That would anger Dai Huabin, and what good would that do me?"

"I see. You're asking me how I'm better than Dai Huabin, right?"

"You can understand that."

Ning Tian said in a deep voice:

"Huo Yuhao, I admit that you are completely different from what I imagined, but you are still just a bastard. You should know better than me how disadvantaged a bastard is when vying for the position of Duke of White Tiger."

"That's right."

Huo Yuhao nodded.

As Ning Tian said, forming an alliance with Huo Yuhao also means becoming an enemy of Dai Huabin. If he does not show conditions that are enough to impress Ning Tian, Ning Tian has no reason to annoy a genius who can become a Soul Master at the age of eleven.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and asked:

"Then let me ask you first, what do you think is Dai Huabin's advantage in competing for the position of Duke of White Tiger?"

Ning Tian raised his eyebrows slightly and replied calmly:

"Isn't this simple? First, he's a legitimate son. Second, he's a genius who became a Soul Master at the age of eleven. Third, he has someone to fuse his spirit with."

"Only this?"

Huo Yuhao spread his hands and smiled confidently:

"If it's just this level, then I'm no worse than him. First, although I'm a concubine's child, Xiaoyun is a legitimate child. Then, he's an eleven-year-old Soul Master, and I'm also an eleven-year-old third-level Soul Instructor. Finally, he has a soul fusion partner, while Xiaoyun and I can also use soul fusion techniques. Besides that, more importantly..."

Having said this, Huo Yuhao's smile became even more confident.

"I took the initiative to come to you, but he didn't think about it."

In other words, Huo Yuhao had the brains to take the initiative to seek an alliance with Ning Tian, but Dai Huabin did not.

"……I see."

After listening to Huo Yuhao's words quietly, Ning Tian suddenly laughed.

When he saw her smile, Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that this was the first time Ning Tian smiled since they met.

She had always given people a dignified and serious feeling because of her tense face. But when she smiled like this, she suddenly became a lot more lively and lovely.

She smiled and stretched out her hand towards Huo Yuhao.

"You are really an interesting person."

Huo Yuhao also extended his hand, shook hers, and said with a smile:

"Can I understand that you agree to cooperate with me?"

"Yeah, of course."

Ning Tian smiled slightly and said:

"To be honest, I actually went to see Dai Huabin two days ago to discuss cooperation matters with him."

"Oh?"

Huo Yuhao suddenly became curious.

"What was the outcome?"

Ning Tian smiled again, but this time her smile looked a little chilling.

"I can only say that I've come to a profound realization that talent in cultivation and IQ are not linked."
