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

Chapter 602 exposes Dai Hao's true colors!

Outside, Huo Yuhao, dressed in a black robe, had his soul power fluctuating around his vocal cords. His deep voice, unlike his usual one, resonated in the air: "First question, did you ever love Huo Yun'er?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Hao was somewhat bewildered. He had assumed that the other party was trying to gather military intelligence, which was why they were asking him such a strange question.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally said firmly, "I loved you."

"You're lying!" Huo Yuhao, with his divine sense, could naturally sense Dai Hao's lie.

The next moment, Ye Yulin directly attacked one of the White Tiger Guards. With a soft "poof," golden light descended, and the White Tiger Guard's head exploded in the golden light. His bloodied corpse fell to the ground.

"Ye Yulin, how dare you kill my personal guard right in front of me!" Dai Hao roared in fury.

The other Star Luo people also glared angrily, and the atmosphere, which had just eased slightly, became tense again.

"Marshal Dai, I warned you before that you should answer the questions honestly, otherwise I would kill one of your men as punishment."

"That was the first one. If you want me to continue helping you eliminate your subordinates, I'd be happy to oblige." Ye Yulin said calmly.

For him, killing a White Tiger Guard was nothing, as simple as eating and drinking.

Upon hearing this, Dai Hao's face grew even more gloomy.

Actually, he initially had some wishful thinking, believing that he was just telling a lie and that it wouldn't be a big deal and that the other party wouldn't find out.

After all, he was a Title Douluo; even if he were lying, how easy would it be to detect?
But he didn't expect that the other party actually had the means to determine whether he was lying.

Is it a soul skill?
But the black-robed man in front of us didn't use any soul skills.

He took a deep breath, feeling he had to tell the truth.

Otherwise, if things continue like this, the hope of breaking through will become increasingly slim.

It should be noted that even though they had four Title Douluos and a group of Star Luo elites, they were still being suppressed and beaten.

Only by buying time for everyone to recover can there be any hope of survival.

Although he had shown his love for Huo Yun'er in front of others, and even repaired Huo Yun'er's tomb.

But he did this simply to establish a deeply affectionate image in front of others, because no one likes to follow a heartless and ungrateful person.

Of course, he had another purpose: to bring his outstanding son, Yuhao, back to the Dai family.

"I have never loved Huo Yun'er," Dai Hao said calmly.

"Why? Haven't you always claimed to love her?" Huo Yuhao continued to ask.

"Why?" Dai Hao took a deep breath and revealed the truth with some helplessness: "I was just playing around, how could I take it seriously?"

"Why don't you take it seriously? Why don't you give Huo Yun'er a proper status?" Huo Yuhao continued to press, his tone quite inquisitive.

Of course, he had long known that Dai Hao didn't love Huo Yun'er at all, and he had expected Dai Hao to tell the truth.

The reason for asking these questions was simply to let Huo Yun'er in the undead demiplane hear Dai Hao's answer later.

Dai Hao glanced at the man in black robes with some surprise and sighed, "Since you were able to ask questions about Huo Yun'er, I think you should also know about Huo Yun'er's past."

She was merely a head maid in the Duke's mansion, essentially a household slave, one of the Duke's assets. I, on the other hand, am the White Tiger Duke, deeply trusted by His Majesty, a high-ranking noble in the empire. If I were to take this relationship seriously and grant her a title, I would be harming the interests of the Dai family.

After all, if a maid can rise so high and gain a title, wouldn't other noble ladies, or even royal princesses, feel that marrying me would be an insult to themselves and their families?
The Dai family is strong, but not strong enough.

A marriage alliance is undoubtedly one of the most effective ways to secure the interests of the Dai family.

However, I never expected His Majesty to bestow the princess upon me in marriage. If it weren't to put His Majesty at ease, I should have followed in the footsteps of my ancestors and married a woman from the Zhu family.

Why did you give the White Tiger Dagger to Huo Yun'er?

"White Tiger Dagger?" Dai Hao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and tried to explain as much as possible with the truth in order to buy some more time.

"To be honest, the reason I gave Huo Yun'er the White Tiger Dagger was simply because I was drinking Shrek Academy's fine wine and got a little drunk. I didn't use my soul power to sober up and said some drunken things. I gave her the White Tiger Dagger and then felt embarrassed to ask for it back."

Anyway, it's just a level 5 melee soul tool. With the Dai family's wealth, it's nothing. Besides, what's a maid's is mine. If anyone asks, I can just say that I asked Huo Yun'er to keep it safe.

Anyway, in front of others, a maid like Huo Yun'er, with her deeply servile nature, would definitely consider my needs in everything she did.

Huo Yuhao listened to Dai Hao's words without being surprised by Dai Hao's ruthlessness.

He remembered that when Huo Gua was two years old, the Duchess said that Huo Yun'er was suffering from a serious illness and sent Huo Yun'er and her son to live in the woodshed behind the servants' quarters. Dai Hao never came to see them again.

Although Dai Hao had to go out to fight, there were no large-scale battles, so he couldn't stay away all the time. Sometimes Dai Hao would bring some people home with him.

Dai Hao did inquire about Huo Yun'er's whereabouts, and he estimated that her intentions were merely driven by lust. However, the Duchess repeatedly advised Dai Hao not to go, citing Huo Yun'er's serious illness and the fear that she might infect Dai Hao.

Then Dai Hao really didn't go.

Even though Dai Hao had not yet become a Title Douluo at that time, he was still a Soul Douluo.

With the physical abilities of a Contra user, the so-called serious illness would be like a raging flood to ordinary people, but for Dai Hao, it would have no effect whatsoever.

Moreover, given the White Tiger Duke's wealth, it wouldn't be difficult to hire a support-type or food-type Soul Master skilled in healing to come to the Duke's mansion and give Huo Yun'er a treatment. It's just that the Duke is too lazy to do so.

After all, in Dai Hao's eyes, Huo Yun'er was just a maid.

The remaining Star Luo army was somewhat confused at this moment, feeling that this White Tiger Duke was a stranger.

It's completely different from the deeply affectionate image the other person once projected.

Some of the White Tiger Guards even changed the way they looked at Dai Hao.

After all, if the Duke has said so, doesn't that mean that the deep affection he showed before was completely fake? If the affection was fake, then was his usual "genuine concern" for the soldiers also fake?

Dai Hao noticed the unusual activity in the army, but didn't pay much attention to it. He knew he would have a way to suppress the spread of his words after successfully breaking through the encirclement.

At this moment, the one who is most hurt is Huo Yun'er in the undead demiplane.

She looked at Dai Hao in the mirror, his body, made of soul, trembling incessantly as if blown by a storm. Dai Hao's words had undoubtedly caused her great psychological trauma.

After all, she always believed that she and Dai Hao were in love, but because of the Duchess's suppression, she was unable to be with him for a long time.

But Dai Hao's words just now shattered all her illusions!
