Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Inside the Shrek Hotel, in Mo Yan's room, Huo Yutong sat there somewhat blankly, looking at her sister Mo Yan who was lying lazily beside her, and asked curiously, "Sister Mo Yan, is there something you need from me?"

"It's true."

"What's that?"

"It's nothing serious." Mo Yan turned to the side, stretched, yawned lazily, and said casually, "Just stay in my room today and don't go out. Just stay here peacefully for the day."

"Huh?" Huo Yutong was taken aback upon hearing this. Her small head tilted to one side instinctively, her clear eyes filled with confusion as she looked straight at Sister Mo Yan.

She remained silent for a few seconds, but finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked softly, "Sister Mo Yan, is... is someone trying to harm me?" Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.

"More or less." Mo Yan nodded slowly, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest of the bed, his gaze darkening.

She knew very well that Dai Hao's actions were unpredictable, and no one could say for sure whether he would target Huo Yuhao or Huo Yutong first.

However, as long as she and Jin Tianming have a clear division of labor and each keeps the two children close by their side, not giving Dai Hao any opportunity to take advantage of them, then no matter how capable he is, he won't be able to cause any trouble.

"I see." Huo Yutong nodded as if she understood, and obediently responded. Then she sat back on the soft chair, placed her hands properly on her lap, and remained motionless. She didn't ask any more questions, and her quiet appearance was just like a well-behaved child who had been instructed by her parents.

Looking at her overly obedient appearance, Mo Yan's eyes softened slightly, but then a hint of helplessness welled up inside. After a moment of silence, he broke the silence in the room with a soft voice: "You don't need to be so reserved. There's no need to sit here in a daze."

"You can read a book or drink tea if you want, just like you're in your own room, and continue doing your own thing."

Hearing this, Huo Yutong's eyes lit up. She cautiously raised her head and asked with a hint of anticipation, "Then... can I call Dong'er and Xiao Xiao over, Sister Mo Yan? I'll feel more at ease with them by my side."

"Then forget it." Mo Yan waved his hand without thinking, directly rejecting the suggestion, his tone firm and unyielding. "With too many people around, things could easily go wrong. You should stay here quietly; it's safer for me to watch over you."

It's definitely not because I thought it was noisy or disturbing her sleep.

Mo Yan withdrew his gaze and continued to sit on the bed with his eyes closed to rest, muttering to himself: Sure enough, A Luo is the one who understands tranquility best in this world.

I just don't know if she's gotten into trouble with Tang San yet—if it weren't for Tang San interfering and causing all this mess.

She's not so incapable of slacking off!
Upon hearing Mo Yan's refusal, Huo Yutong showed no displeasure. She simply gave a soft "Oh," then sat up straight again, picked up the book left by Dugu Luo from the table beside her, and quietly began to read. The sound of the pages turning was incredibly gentle, blending seamlessly with the tranquility of the room...

The rest area of ​​the Star Luo team at the Soul Master Competition.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere was completely different in the Star Luo team's rest area at the Soul Master Competition venue.

Xu Jiujiu stared wide-eyed at Dai Hao, who was standing in front of her. His pupils contracted slightly, and his face was filled with undisguised disbelief.

She leaned forward slightly, her lips pressed tightly together, her eyes sharp and questioning, as if silently shouting: Are you kidding me, princess?
That genius from the Sun Moon Team who shone brightly on the field and amazed everyone with his original martial soul, is also a genuine level 5 quasi-soul master. Such a top talent is actually the son of you, General Dai Hao of the White Tiger!?
How can this be?

Why are you only telling me now that it's so important?
If they had known about this relationship earlier, the Star Luo team could have made more preparations during the pre-match strategy!
After a long time, the questions in her mind surged like a tide, almost overwhelming her reason.

But Xu Jiujiu was, after all, a princess of the Star Luo Empire, with a mind far beyond that of ordinary people. She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the myriad doubts in her heart, and did not ask for any extra details. She simply raised her eyes and looked directly at Dai Hao, and said in a deep voice, "Is this true, General Baihu?" Her tone carried a hint of scrutiny, trying to find some flaws in Dai Hao's face.

"Of course it's true." Dai Hao said calmly. He knew very well that such a thing was just empty talk and could not convince Xu Jiujiu at all.

He then took out a neatly folded envelope from his pocket—the very letter Huo Yun'er had left—and solemnly handed it to Xu Jiujiu, saying respectfully, "Your Highness, please take a look. This letter can prove that what I said is true." Xu Jiujiu took the old envelope, twisted the seal open with her fingertips, and quickly browsed the contents of the letter.

Her gaze was focused, her brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes furrowed. After a moment, she finished reading the entire letter, folded the envelope again, and handed it back to Dai Hao.

She looked up at Dai Hao and asked calmly, "General Baihu, the letter seems to mention that Huo Yuhao is the older of the twins. If he has an older brother, then what about his younger sister? Where is she now?"

"His younger sister is named Huo Yutong. She is also studying at Shrek Academy and has come to participate in the Soul Master Competition with the Shrek team this time."

When Huo Yutong was mentioned, Dai Hao's tone was filled with barely concealed excitement, after all, she was the daughter he had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, but at the same time, it was mixed with a little guilt.

Upon hearing this answer, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but forcefully twitch the corners of her mouth, inwardly rolling her eyes—good heavens, really good heavens! She was completely impressed by Dai Hao.

Duke White Tiger, you are truly amazing! You are incredibly prolific! Each of your children possesses extraordinary talent, it's simply unbelievable.

Xu Jiujiu secretly complained to himself that not long after he sent Dai Yueheng away, Dai Huabin had become a cripple because of what happened before. He thought that the younger generation of the White Tiger family would fade away, but he did not expect that such an extraordinary pair of dragon and phoenix twins would appear now.

Dai Hao's intentions in coming to see her at this time are self-evident.

Sure enough, just as she had thought about it, Dai Hao spoke up.

“Your Highness, as a father, I have been kept in the dark all along and have failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a father.”

"I would like to personally go on stage after the competition to sincerely apologize to the children, and then take them back to the White Tiger Clan to make up for the years of neglect. I wonder if Your Highness would agree?"

Dai Hao's tone was extremely sincere, even tinged with humility.

Although he harbored great ambitions, he also knew that Xu Jiawei was nearing his end. However, the power of the Star Luo Empire was in the hands of the Xu family, so he had to suppress his ambitions for the time being and show Xu Jiujiu enough respect.

Moreover, Dai Hao had already made up his mind. He planned to use the power of the Xu family royal family to completely snatch Huo Yuhao back from the Sun Moon Team.

After all, Huo Yuhao is not only exceptionally talented, but also a Level 5 Quasi-Soul Master. If he could return to the White Tiger Clan, he would undoubtedly greatly enhance the clan's strength.

As for Huo Yutong, that's even easier to handle.

Since Dai Huabin sacrificed himself for the sake of his family's interests, creating an opportunity for the White Tiger Family and Shrek Academy to form an alliance again, it has been easy for him to bring Huo Yutong back.

Even if Shrek Academy tries to obstruct him, he can use Huo Yutong as a bargaining chip to strengthen the alliance between the White Tiger Family and Shrek Academy.

This arrangement can be described as killing two birds with one stone. From any perspective, it is a win-win deal for Dai Hao and the White Tiger family.

Just as Dai Hao and Xu Jiujiu were discussing, a burst of enthusiastic cheers came from the arena, and the match of the Sun and Moon team had just ended.

As expected, Team Sun and Moon emerged victorious.

Under Xiao Hongchen's precise and fierce attacks with his soul tools, those opponents who had previously looked down on soul tools and thought they were inferior were utterly powerless to fight back, and completely understood the absolute dominance of soul tools.
