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

Chapter 120 The Confessed Orange

Huo Yuhao looked at Ju Zi with some suspicion, sensing that Ju Zi's current state seemed somewhat delicate.

However, considering that she is no longer a student of Shrek Academy, Orange would not stoop to poisoning or stealing seeds. She is currently at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and it's not like they will only see each other once in a long time.

There should be no reason for the other party to attack me.

So he nodded and agreed: "Okay, Senior Orange."

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi smiled and walked to Huo Yuhao's side, walking alongside him.

As the two walked, they arrived at Sun Moon Lake in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Usually, many people stroll around Sun and Moon Lake, but today only Ju Zi and Huo Yuhao were there, as if someone had cleared the area in advance.

Looking at the shimmering lake, Orange said as she walked, "Yuhao, do you know?"

I actually share a common enemy with you—the Duke of the White Tiger. Because of him, I lost my parents and became a child without a home.

When I first lost my parents, I was terrified because I was just a child. Sometimes I dreamt of them, wanting to feel their warm embrace again, but as soon as I touched them, their bodies shattered like a dream bubble.

Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Of course I know. We are all good comrades-in-arms who want to kill the White Tiger Duke. In this respect, we are on the same side."

His face immediately showed sympathy: "I didn't expect that you, Senior Orange, had such an experience. It seems that we all have a grudge against Dai Hao. Because of Dai Hao's neglect and the Duchess's oppression, my mother died in great pain."

Hearing these words, Orange took a deep breath, somewhat moved.

Although she already knew what Huo Yuhao had said in the Soul Fighting Tournament, hearing him say those words in person was still a different experience.

To be honest, she was touched for two reasons. First, Huo Yuhao could cook dishes that tasted like her father's, which made her feel good about him. Second, they had a common enemy.

So Ju Zi immediately said, "From now on, I will join you in taking revenge on Dai Hao."

One day, Dai Hao will die before our eyes. Of course, because you also have a grudge against the Duchess, I will also help you take revenge on her.

"Then I'll thank you in advance, senior. However, you didn't come to me today just to talk about this, did you?" Huo Yuhao asked.

He figured that if it was just to talk about this kind of thing, then there was no need for Orange to invite him to go shopping together. So, the so-called "going shopping together" had a strange feel to it.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly, directly used his mental detection to connect with Ju Zi, and then asked bluntly, "Senior Ju Zi, what exactly are you hiding from me? Could it be that Xu Tianran sent you here?"

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi's pupils widened slightly in shock, but she quickly regained her composure, straightened her expression, and casually set up a soundproof soul-guided shield.

Then she whispered, "What Xu Tianran? I'm not familiar with the Crown Prince, Yuhao, don't misunderstand. As for what I'm keeping from you, to be honest, I think everyone has their own secrets." She was going to gloss over the matter. Although Xu Tianran had given her the task of being with Huo Yuhao, and she was happy to carry it out, feelings need to be cultivated. She knew she had romantic feelings for Huo Yuhao, but what about Huo Yuhao's feelings for her?

Since Ju Zi wasn't sure, she naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to directly reveal her feelings.

Of course, the main reason she used the soundproof soul guide shield was because Xu Tianran would definitely arrange for people to keep watch nearby.

She knew Xu Tianran too well; even though she was the person Xu Tianran trusted most, he would never be completely at ease.

If we don't use a soundproof soul-guiding shield to cover it up, the person hiding in the shadows will probably report us to Xu Tianran soon.

"Senior Orange, tell me the truth."

"I actually know that Xu Tianran once saved your life, so you chose to stay by Xu Tianran's side as his subordinate. Your visit to me is very likely at Xu Tianran's behest. Why would Xu Tianran send you to see me?" Huo Yuhao asked directly.

Ju Zi was completely shocked. This was actually a secret to her, and even Xuan Ziwen didn't know about this past event. So how did Huo Yuhao know?
Ju Zi's first reaction was that Xu Tianran had betrayed her, but she quickly dismissed the idea. The reason was simple: telling Huo Yuhao about this extremely secret matter would not actually benefit Xu Tianran.

Xu Tianran would almost never do something that wouldn't bring him any benefit.

For a moment, Ju Zi thought about many things. After a while, her mind was filled with thoughts, but when she saw Huo Yuhao's face, her heart softened and she sighed helplessly: "Okay, I admit that Xu Tianran sent me here."

No matter what orders Xu Tianran gives, I will not harm you; you can rest assured of that. But how did you find out about this?

Now that Huo Yuhao had obtained such confidential information, she decided to stop pretending and reveal her plan, since she had already fallen in love with Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao thought to himself that the young Empress War God was indeed not as mature as the Empress War God in the later part of the original work.

He cleared his throat and asked, "Senior Orange, shouldn't you answer my question before I answer yours?"

Ju Zi hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind and said, "Yuhao, Xu Tianran asked me to be with you so that I could influence you and then you could persuade Elder Kong to make peace with Zhongli Wu."

She thought to herself that Huo Yuhao knew even that she had saved Xu Tianran and become Xu Tianran's subordinate, so he must also be very clear about the current conflict between Kong Deming and Zhongli Wu.

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that Xu Tianran was indeed worthy of his name, even able to come up with such a crooked idea. To be honest, Xu Tianran was a person who valued his own interests very much, so in Xu Tianran's eyes, many people in this world were actually just tools.

Although Ju Zi saved Xu Tianran's life and became the person Xu Tianran trusted most, Xu Tianran would still choose to give up Ju Zi if it involved his fundamental interests.

To give a simple example, in the original novel, Xu Tianran, in order to consolidate his throne, even made the decision to use Prince Tianhe's seed to make Ju Zi pregnant with royal blood.

Although in the end Ju Zi did not use Prince Tianhe's seed, but instead chose Huo Gua's seed, this also shows that Xu Tianran made a choice between the throne and Ju Zi.
