Douluo: Peerless Light..

Chapter 179: Offended

After a while, Xuan Zi felt that flying was too slow, so he took out a rope and dragged everyone to fly. The flying soul guide only provided basic thrust to reduce consumption.

The speed of travel really increased, and we finally arrived at the military jurisdiction at dawn the next day.

Then Mr. Xuan ran away alone, saying that he needed to catch up on some sleep, and asked Dai Yuheng to handle the rest.

Soon, thirty figures flew over from afar. They were soldiers from the soul guide flying unit of the Western Group Army of the Xingluo Empire. The old man in the lead was a soul saint, with three yellow, two purple and two black soul rings. The rest of them were all above the fourth ring, and only a few had reached the fifth ring.

Minghui took a quick look and saw that they were all over thirty years old, their spirit ring configurations were not very good, and their fifth spirit ring was purple. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The Xing Luo Empire's suppression of civilian spirit masters was extremely high. Not only did they not have an institution for awakening martial spirits, but even if they had the opportunity to awaken, it was still under the control of the nobles, and they could not receive good training, and could only be slaves for generations, with no chance of turning over a new leaf.

Not only the Xingluo Empire, the other two countries are actually similar.

If you are not bullied by the Sun-Moon Empire, who will be bullied?
"Old Du, don't you recognize me?" Dai Yuheng smiled and went to meet him. He had already communicated with his father Dai Hao about the bandit suppression operation via letter, but he did not mention Huo Yuhao. First, he did not want to distract his father, and second, he wanted his mother to make the decision first.

In this way, when my father finds out about it later, he will be less blamed.

In addition, there was another reason: he didn't want his biological mother to lose power in the Duke's Mansion.

I just don't know how the situation is developing now. I can't help but feel a little worried.

"Are you the eldest young master?" The old man looked surprised.

After some greetings, Dai Yuheng asked again.

"Mr. Du, is father here?"

Elder Du shook his head. "The Duke was recalled by His Majesty a few days ago. He wrote back to the generals two days ago, saying that he had some matters to deal with at home. In addition, this Soul Master Competition needs to be attended by VIPs to motivate the domestic participating students."

Speaking of this, he showed a proud look on his face, "The military and civilians of our Xingluo Empire have always been martial, and the Duke has a high reputation in the country. I think His Majesty also thought of this, so he called the Duke back to attend this Continental Soul Master Competition."

Dai Yuheng didn't think so. This was not about asking his father to set an example, but clearly meant to embarrass himself in public and reduce his father's reputation.

However, this might not be his father's own decision. After Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong became reserve members of the team, he immediately sent a letter home.

My father is willing to stay in Xingluo City, perhaps because he wants to contact him personally and resolve this grudge.

This also indirectly shows that what his younger brother Dai Huabin did had a great impact and really made his father angry.

Thinking of this, I became even more worried.

He didn't show it on his face, but just nodded slightly and let someone lead the way.

"The Duke has already arranged this matter before he left. Please follow me," said Mr. Du in a amiable manner.

So, everyone rushed to the military camp and arrived soon, where they were arranged in a large cowhide tent.

Dai Yueheng asked everyone to take a seat, and then began to introduce the situation of the Mingdou Mountains. After he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong and asked a puzzled question.

"By the way, Yuhao, Wang Dong, what country are you from? I've never heard you tell me that."

"Is he a member of the Tianhun Empire?" Wang Dong said indifferently.

"Star Luo Empire." Huo Yuhao said calmly.

"Oh?" Dai Yuheng became interested and smiled. "I didn't expect that we are compatriots! Where in the Xingluo Empire is it?"

“It’s a small village near Xingluo City. Senior Dai must have never heard of it.” Huo Yuhao said.

"It seems that we are not only compatriots, but also fellow townsmen." Dai Yuheng smiled even more.

Wang Dong's eyes turned and he suddenly said, "Senior Dai, I've heard of your father. I heard he's quite handsome." Upon hearing this, Dai Yuheng straightened his back and began to brag, saying that his father was a hero.

"So how many wives does your father have?" Wang Dong asked immediately.

Dai Yuheng was stunned for a moment, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he said calmly, "Only my mother."

"As a soldier, my father is very self-disciplined when it comes to women. Now he is 43 years old, and he only has me and Hua Bin."

I only have one wife, so what does my mother mean to me? Huo Yuhao's mind was shaken, and his eyes turned cold.

Dai Yuheng continued, "My father once said that if a man cannot control his desires in this regard, he will not achieve much in the future."

Wang Dong looked at Minghui with a hint of amusement.

I feel offended!
Minghui thought to himself, I understand Wang Dong’s intention. Doesn’t he just want me to vent Huo Yuhao’s anger?

I also want to vent my anger for being offended. So he frowned slightly and asked in confusion:
"That's not right!"

"I remember that your father took a concubine and even had a son. I think his name was Dai Luoli."

"Also, I have another piece of gossip. It seems that your father had a relationship with a maid who had served him since childhood, and they also had a child."

Dai Yuheng blushed immediately and said angrily, "This is pure nonsense!"

"My father did have a concubine, but in our Xing Luo Empire, wives and concubines are two different things!"

"As for having an affair with a maid, although I rarely went home after entering the academy, I lived there for many years before this, and I have never heard of such a thing!"

After that, he asked politely, "Xiaohui, where did you get this news?"

"After your brother got into trouble, I sent people to your home to investigate your brother's behavior for a while." Minghui said calmly, "He was very arrogant both at home and outside! Otherwise, why do you think I didn't accept your apology on his behalf?"

"If you want to blame someone, blame him for the many sins he committed in the past!"

"The key is that no one cares about your family! This is why I have always liked you, Senior Dai. Really, you are the only one in your family who is relatively normal."

Dai Yaoheng blushed, not thinking this was a compliment. But Minghui hadn't revealed the specific source of the information yet, so he could only keep it to himself.

Then Minghui said, "This news came from the servants around your brother."

"Maybe he had been bullying men and dominating the market with your brother for so long that he developed a arrogant personality and accidentally let the secret slip. As for who it was, I don't know."

"But it's easy to check. Just check who was more arrogant and had a bad record in the past."

Xiaohui is smart. He not only eliminated the harm, but also avoided hurting the innocent Ma Xiaotao.

Of course, Dai Yuheng may not conduct a detailed investigation. It can only be said that the subsequent handling results still depend on Dai Yuheng's character.

Huo Yuhao was deeply moved, realizing that this was helping him to get revenge!
He knew without thinking that when Dai Yuheng returned home to Xingluo City, he would never let go of those who had hurt his mother.

Minghui nodded slightly and said, "To be honest, Yaoheng, I personally think that the maid's story is very likely true."

"As for why you didn't know, it's easy to understand. After all, this is a family scandal, who would spread it?"

"As the head of the family and the Duke of White Tiger, your father has to keep his dignity. Even if your mother knew about it and felt unhappy, she would have to help conceal it for the reputation of the Duke's House. As for whether she did anything behind the scenes, I don't know."

"But the news I received was that the maid was dead. And the child was also missing."
