Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

Chapter 473

In short, Xu Jiawei would never allow any variables to affect his plans.

Xu Jiawei had never met any of the other people, so it was a bit difficult to deal with them.

However, Huo Yuhao is different. He and Huo Yuhao are acquainted and have room for communication. He has some ulterior motives that he can pursue with Huo Yuhao.

Just like it is now.

However, Huo Yuhao knew exactly what Xu Jiawei was up to, and he wasn't going to play along with Xu Jiawei's act. He could just say what he wanted to say directly, so why bother with this?
They're all ancient foxes, why bother playing these ghost stories with them?

"Your Majesty, you are indeed very sincere, telling me such confidential information. It seems you truly consider me one of your own."

Huo Yuhao said with a smile. Upon hearing this, Xu Jiawei assumed that Huo Yuhao believed him and laughed heartily, "Of course, our cooperation is long-term. It will not end until the Sun Moon Empire is destroyed."

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Until the demise of the Sun and Moon Empire?
Xu Jiawei really knows how to dream.

I'll just keep dreaming like this.

Destroy the Sun Moon Empire? The Sun Moon Empire's foundation is countless times greater than yours; it's just that it's currently undergoing a full-scale transformation and doesn't have time to expand outwards.

Once the battle for the throne of the Sun Moon Empire ends and everything settles down, it will bare its fangs at the Douluo Continent.

By then, the three great empires of Douluo Continent will be nothing but clay chickens and earthenware dogs.

Xu Jiawei's plan was excellent, but they didn't have much time left. Besides, what made Xu Jiawei think that the Sun Moon Empire would stagnate while they were catching up with it?
All pursuits are meaningless.

However, as the emperor of a country, Xu Jiawei chose to fight for his country and his enemies. Putting aside his character, Xu Jiawei was indeed a qualified emperor, much better than Dai Hao.

“Your Majesty, the information you revealed is indeed very important, but as you know, I have a lot of money, and I'm about to break through to level 70, so I need a spirit ring.”

"Even if this soul beast embryo cannot grant a second martial soul, I can still absorb its soul ring and soul bone. A mere few hundred million is nothing to me."

"Besides, you also said that you don't have the ability to identify this soul beast embryo. What if it has a miraculous effect after I absorb it? What if I can really obtain a second martial soul?"

Huo Yuhao remained unmoved, his attitude seemingly impervious to reason. He simply declared, "I'm rich, I'm not afraid of being scammed."

When Xu Jiawei heard his words, he was dumbfounded; things shouldn't have unfolded this way.

Knowing this secret, shouldn't Huo Yuhao's reaction be to stop bidding for the ring beast embryo? Why is he becoming even more agitated instead?

This truly baffled Xu Jiawei.

"Sect Master Huo, what are you doing?" Xu Jiawei quickly said, "This soul beast embryo is not worth much. The reason I chose to sell this soul beast embryo by deception is because the Star Luo Empire is really short of money right now. I'm telling you this because I don't want to deceive you."

Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head. "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter who I sell it to! I'm not afraid of being ripped off. Anyway, the highest bidder wins. If I can afford to pay a higher price, you'll make even more money, won't you?"

Huo Yuhao remained unmoved.

He was just waiting for Xu Jiawei to tell him the truth.

Looking at Huo Yuhao's expression, Xu Jiujiu's eyes also shimmered with a light. She glanced at Huo Yuhao, then at her dumbfounded brother, and noticed the fleeting smile on Huo Yuhao's lips.

In her opinion, Huo Yuhao should already know their purpose, and is just pretending to be crazy.

Their Star Luo Empire's plan was personally devised by his brother and executed by her and other important figures in the Star Luo Empire.

It must never be passed on to outsiders.

Of course, they were already prepared to tell Feng Yao, since Feng Yao was not an outsider to them.

However, Huo Yuhao was clearly not among them, otherwise Xu Jiawei would not have resorted to deception to get Huo Yuhao to agree.

But now it's clear that it can't be hidden anymore.

The way to get Huo Yuhao to not participate in the auction is to be honest with him.

Since his elder brother still wanted to play dumb, he had no choice but to confess himself.

Xu Jiujiu quickly coughed twice. Xu Jiawei was still a little confused when he saw his sister's expression, but after Xu Jiujiu's hint, he seemed to understand something.

Since that's the case, there's no other way.

Xu Jiawei sighed and gestured for Xu Jiujiu to do whatever she wanted.

Huo Yuhao is young, but he is extremely shrewd, which is completely inconsistent with his age.

Since that's the case, there's no point in hiding it anymore.

"Jiujiu, since that's the case, then you should have a good talk with Sect Master Huo."

After a long pause, she pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and then turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao.

"Sect Master Huo, the purpose of this top-level auction is actually aimed at Mingde Hall. The owner of this soul beast embryo can only be Mingde Hall, which is why we do not want you to participate in the bidding."

"Finally admitting it?" Huo Yuhao crossed his arms and looked at Xu Jiujiu with a smile.

After a long while, he gave a bitter smile. "It seems that he really did discover it a long time ago. Nothing can be hidden from Sect Master Huo."

"Of course, your reasons are really lame. After all, even if this soul beast embryo is defective and I can't absorb a second martial soul after buying it, it's still a matter of probability. You yourself said that there is only a hope of becoming a second martial soul, not 100%. If that's the case, why risk damaging your reputation to tell an outsider like me? Isn't this just shooting yourself in the foot?"

Huo Yuhao didn't say that he knew the plot, but only analyzed it from the simplest perspective. When Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu listened, they also showed a look of realization.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao discovered it for this reason; they had indeed miscalculated.

Just as Huo Yuhao said, they really did end up shooting themselves in the foot.

However, now that Huo Yuhao has served as an example, Xu Jiawei is confident in how to explain things to others.

It's not like I'm at a particularly bad deal!

It's just a matter of saving face. But Huo Yuhao at least has the Limit Douluo backing him up, and he himself is the head of a sect, so his status is only slightly lower than Huo Yuhao's.

Thinking about it that way, it's really not a big deal.

"Sect Leader Huo is truly meticulous. He can see through such a small clue. I really underestimated Sect Leader Huo."

Now that we've laid everything out in the open, I wonder what Sect Leader Huo's thoughts are?

Xu Jiawei looked at Huo Yuhao with a solemn expression. He was afraid that Huo Yuhao would ruin his plans, after all, Huo Yuhao did have the ability.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was indifferent, but a troubled look appeared on his face. "The Mingde Hall Master has a grandson and a granddaughter, whom he spoils rotten. He would never miss the opportunity to let his grandson and granddaughter obtain a second martial soul."

"Therefore, Jing Hongchen is determined to get this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo. After all, Mingde Hall is rich and powerful, which is known throughout the Douluo Continent. Money is just a number to them. Even if they don't have enough cash, their soul tools can be immediately converted into gold soul coins."

"I guess Mingde Hall can only offer two to three hundred million at most. This is because they have already sold off a large number of soul tools. You released the news in advance to give them time to sell soul tools. The soul tools in the previous auctions should all be from Mingde Hall because of this. The ones you put up for sale are the ones that cannot be studied. The ones that can be studied should have been sent to the research lab by you."

"Among the major forces bidding this time, Shrek Academy is focused on the competition. They are not interested in this soul beast embryo. After all, Shrek Academy has never lacked geniuses with twin martial souls. With their teaching staff, they also have no shortage of 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones. Therefore, Shrek Academy will not interfere with your plans in any way."

"As for the Body Sect, they are definitely willing to bid, but they absolutely cannot afford the money, so they are not a concern. Once the price reaches a certain level, they will definitely not continue to bid and will only be a supporting player."

"So the only things you can't see through are the Sea God Temple, the Temple of Destruction, and my Tang Sect. That's why you came to me with such a lame excuse. In reality, it was to make me give up bidding against Mingde Hall, causing Mingde Hall to lose a lot of cash, so that they could convert more Soul Guidance System items into cash and let them flow into the Star Luo Empire. Through this, you could obtain a large number of Soul Guidance Devices to use for research to catch up with the Sun Moon Empire. Add to that the smuggling transactions between us before, Your Majesty, you really are a cunning old fox."

Xu Jiawei's lips twitched upon hearing this. The term "cunning and shrewd" is not a compliment, is it?
"I have already been frank with the Sect Master. I wonder what the Sect Master's thoughts are?"

Huo Yuhao smiled, “Your Majesty and Princess Jiujiu have prepared so much for this top-level auction. If I, as your partner, were to disrupt it again, I would truly be ungrateful. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll help you raise the price to within Mingde Hall’s acceptable range, and then we’ll stop immediately. Not only that, I can also help you deal with the Sea God Temple.”

"Really?" Xu Jiawei's breathing quickened upon hearing this.

The Temple of Poseidon is such a mysterious force that it is said to be backed by a god.

Just like the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, it also has a god backing it up.

The Temple of Poseidon has only been established for a year, yet it has already dominated the entire sea area. Its strength is simply unfathomable, and its funds are undoubtedly substantial, given the considerable profits that come with expansion.

They ruled over all the seas of Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent, and all the coastal cities belonged to them. It goes without saying how wealthy they were.

The main reason is that the Holy Son of the Sea God Temple is an unparalleled genius, and it's unlikely that he wouldn't be tempted by this soul beast embryo.

Xu Jiawei has still not been able to contact the Temple of Poseidon because he simply cannot reach it.

Now that Huo Yuhao actually says he has a solution, that's fantastic! If it's true, it will be a huge help.

"Of course, when has this sect master ever boasted? Now that the Holy Son of the Temple of Destruction is dead, only the Holy Son of the Temple of the Sea God is likely to participate in the bidding. Once we get him on board, Your Majesty's matter will be settled."

"So, what does Sect Leader Huo intend to do?"

"I have my own methods, and I guarantee His Majesty will be satisfied. However, if this succeeds, His Majesty will owe me two favors."

Huo Yuhao spoke casually, as if he could solve a problem that Xu Jiawei considered extremely difficult at any time.

Don't use the suspect, but don't use it.

Since Huo Yuhao was so confident, he decided to trust him this once. After all, Huo Yuhao wasn't an unreliable person. Judging from their previous interactions and transactions, Huo Yuhao was quite sensible.

They probably wouldn't joke about something like this.

It wouldn't be right to make fun of someone who is the ruler of a country.

As for the two favors, they are harmless. Huo Yuhao wouldn't possibly want his throne, would he? As long as that's not the case, everything is negotiable.

Being able to connect with the Limit Douluo behind Huo Yuhao is actually a win for them.

Even if Huo Yuhao is a lecherous devil, so what if he wants his sister?

He couldn't wait to strip Xu Jiujiu naked and send her to his bed.

"Then I will await good news from Sect Leader Huo."

"Sure, sure. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I had a decent breakfast."

After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, he got up to leave. Seeing this, Xu Jiawei quickly looked at his sister beside him and gave her a wink.

After a long while, she finally went over and stood beside Huo Yuhao, preparing to see him off.

After the two left, Xu Jiawei's face gradually darkened. He rested his head on his hand, seemingly lost in thought.

Xu Jiujiu accompanied Huo Yuhao all the way out of the palace gate. The two were quiet on the way, not knowing what to say.

Xu Jiujiu, who is usually very talkative, has been inexplicably nervous ever since she met Huo Yuhao. She always feels a little uncomfortable in front of him.

Moreover, she always felt that her brother had the idea of ​​giving her to Huo Yuhao as a woman in order to keep Huo Yuhao by his side.

She believed her brother was capable of such a thing. After all, there was no kinship in the royal family. The reason she and her brother had such a good relationship was because she could help him with his affairs. What her brother valued from the beginning was her ability.

As the saying goes, once you're born into an imperial family, you're no longer in control of your own destiny.

She enjoyed the life of a princess, living in luxury, surrounded by exquisite clothes and fine food, with everything imaginable.

Then she would have to fulfill the duties of a princess.

If her imperial brother really did this, she would have no reason to refuse.

However, the person she always liked was Feng Yao.

Moreover, although Huo Yuhao in front of her looks very serious, he already has four women by his side, a veritable philanderer. What's even more outrageous is that those women are superior to her in both talent and appearance.
