Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 119 Xu Tianran: Orange, you have to make a sacrifice!
Upon hearing this, Ju Zi immediately replied respectfully, "Your Highness, Ju Zi will obey your orders."

Ju Zi was a sensible person. She still needed Xu Tianran to complete her plan to avenge Duke Baihu, so she naturally had to show Xu Tianran an obedient attitude as much as possible.

Loyal oranges are the label she gave herself.

Xu Tianran nodded in satisfaction; he really liked Ju Zi's obedient attitude.

For Xu Tianran, the person he trusted most in the world was Ju Zi, because it was Ju Zi who saved his life when he was assassinated.

Therefore, he would only tell Orange some secret things.

He said gently, "Ju Zi, don't stand. Standing is too tiring. Isn't there a stool over there? Sit down first."

"Yes, Your Highness." Ju Zi immediately sat down on the stool. She knew that Xu Tianran didn't like anyone disobeying him.

Seeing that Ju Zi had sat down, Xu Tianran slowly said, "Ju Zi, I remember you and Huo Yuhao have a good relationship, right?"

Ju Zi paused for a moment, then immediately replied, "Yes, my relationship with junior Huo Yuhao is pretty good. Currently, both Huo Yuhao and I are students taught by Teacher Xuan, so I'm considered his senior."

For a moment, Ju Zi didn't understand why Xu Tianran was asking this, but she knew that Xu Tianran must have a purpose in doing things, so for a moment, her mood became somewhat heavy.

Xu Tianran sighed, and then immediately told Ju Zi the whole story of how Kong Deming prevented Zhongli Wu from becoming the Grand Preceptor.

Although Ju Zi is the person he trusts the most, Ju Zi is currently studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, so it's impossible for her to come and see him every day. Therefore, Ju Zi doesn't know some things so quickly.

The reason for sending Ju Zi to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is actually quite simple: firstly, to give Ju Zi some prestige.

After all, the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire are mostly graduates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

In any case, Orange should first establish herself as an alumnus. This will help her find common ground and build closer relationships with some of the higher-ups at Sunmoon in the future.

Even Xu Tianran himself graduated from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Therefore, sometimes when he puts on a gentle demeanor and talks with some high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Academy, he can use his experience of studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as a basis to find common ground with them and then use some means to win their hearts.

On the other hand, it's because Ju Zi aspires to join the Sun Moon Army, so she needs to learn about soul tools and understand what kind of soul tools can be practically applied on the battlefield.

Xu Tianran nodded in satisfaction: "It seems you did a good job when I asked you to win over Huo Yuhao last time."

Now that you have a good relationship with him, you should take it a step further. As long as Huo Yuhao is willing to act as an intermediary, I am very confident that I can get Master Kong to agree.

After all, Huo Yuhao was Master Kong's grand-disciple and was highly regarded by Master Kong.

According to my information, Elder Kong even arranged for several retainers to guard the vicinity of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, presumably to protect Huo Yuhao's safety.

Actually, Ju Zi isn't the Crown Princess right now; she's just Xu Tianran's secret subordinate. If Ju Zi were the Crown Princess, at least those close to the royal family would know her identity. Then, in the original story, Ju Zi wouldn't need to take Xu Tianran to rescue Huo Gua; she could simply reveal her identity, and Wang Shaojie's cousin would immediately release him.

Orange paused, then asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"Ju Zi, you should be with Huo Yuhao." Xu Tianran was also a little heartbroken. "For my great cause, I need you to make some sacrifices. As long as you can control him emotionally, I believe that letting him persuade Elder Kong would be a good strategy."

People who are young are actually very easily manipulated by their emotions!

Ju Zi's expression changed in surprise, and she immediately began to put on an act. She knelt down and said in protest, "Your Highness, you mustn't! Ju Zi is loyal to you. How could I do something that would betray you?"

Orange, who has good acting skills, felt a little happy at this moment. To be honest, she had no feelings for Xu Tianran. Her usual behavior in front of Xu Tianran was all an act. Things like "Xu Tianran is the only sun in my heart" were just an attitude she showed for the sake of her own interests.

As for Huo Yuhao, she has a deep affection for him because his cooking skills allow her to experience her father's cooking again.

Therefore, she did have the idea of ​​making Huo Yuhao her husband in the future, but because of Xu Tianran's existence, she never dared to express her feelings.

Although Xu Tianran has presented a good opportunity, the thought of Xu Tianran treating her like a tool dampened Ju Zi's good mood.

Xu Tianran was somewhat moved. He said, "Ju Zi, I know you've always had feelings for me, but you want to take revenge on Duke White Tiger, while I want to unify the Douluo Continent. So our goals are aligned, since Duke White Tiger is one of the obstacles to the Sun Moon Empire's unification of the Douluo Continent."

"However, our goal has now been thwarted by Master Kong, and I cannot abandon the power of the Holy Spirit Church. Therefore, Orange, you are the only one who can sacrifice yourself. Don't worry, I will make it up to you properly in the future."

Ju Zi fell silent, her expression complex, seemingly caught in a dilemma. After a moment, Ju Zi sighed and said, "Your Highness, Ju Zi obeys."

“Okay!” Xu Tianran nodded. To be honest, he had wanted to win over Huo Yuhao for a long time. After all, Huo Yuhao had a strong background and great talent, making him a very worthwhile person to win over.

As for the oranges, in terms of value, they are not as valuable as Huo Yuhao's.

Since Ju Zi hasn't been on the battlefield yet, there's no way for her to demonstrate her exceptional battlefield command talent. Even though she's well-versed in military strategy, in Xu Tianran's eyes, that's all there is to it. After all, he's seen plenty of people who are well-versed in military strategy, and whether someone has the talent to command a war can only be determined through actual combat.

Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy together. He then watched Bei Bei return to her dormitory. Although they both lived at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, their residences were completely different.

Although Beibei is an exchange student, she is still an outsider. It's impossible for her to live better than the number one genius of Sun Moon. The Sun Moon Empire wouldn't do something like treating outsiders better than its own students just to enhance the reputation of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Huo Yuhao strode forward, preparing to return to his residence.

Suddenly, a female voice rang out behind him: "Junior Brother Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao stopped and looked at the person who spoke; it was Ju Zi.

"Senior Sister Ju Zi." Huo Yuhao looked at Ju Zi with some confusion, wondering if she was going to eat the so-called "dad's" cooking again?
"Can you come with me for a walk?" Orange asked.
