Chapter 160 Mom, Come with Me to Xingluo
Good books are never stopped being updated, waiting for you to appreciate them.
The outcome of this friendly match was exactly as Xuanzi had predicted.
Huo Yuhao displayed strength far exceeding that of ordinary Soul Kings, single-handedly crushing these genius students from the Inner Academy.
Those inner court students who were always arrogant and haughty were now all "submissive and obedient".
The initial disdain and doubt were gone from the way they looked at Huo Yuhao; instead, there was awe and complexity in their eyes.
Then, under Xuanzi's arrangement, the second friendly match began.
This time, however, it wasn't the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard that were involved; instead, people from both were mixed together.
The groups were regrouped and re-paired, allowing both sides to become more familiar with each other's martial spirits and fighting styles in actual combat.
In this process, Huo Yuhao at most played a supporting role and did not display much of his strength.
After all, he has already proven himself.
Over the course of the morning, both sides became quite familiar with each other through continuous exchanges and discussions.
As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the streets and alleys of Shrek City, bathing the entire city in a warm golden light.
Huo Yuhao then left Shrek Academy and walked along the wide streets of Shrek City towards his home in the west of the city.
His pace was neither hurried nor slow, and his face showed no expression.
He stepped into his home before the last rays of the setting sun disappeared.
The door hinges turned, causing the bell on the door to ring softly, producing a crisp "ding-dong" sound.
"Yuhao?"
Huo Yun'er came out of the house and looked at her son in surprise.
"Why did you suddenly come back?"
Her face lit up with surprise, but then she remembered something and quickly asked, "Have you eaten? I'll go make you something."
As she spoke, she started to run towards the kitchen.
Huo Yuhao quickly stopped her: "Mom, I've already eaten, you don't need to bother."
There's something I need to tell you.
Huo Yun'er was slightly taken aback when she saw his serious expression.
Huo Yuhao pulled his mother to sit down on the sofa in the living room.
Looking at his mother's rosy complexion, he pondered how to begin.
After all, what he was about to say was bound to bring up his mother's painful memories.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, looked at his mother's gentle expression, and slowly spoke.
"Mom, in a few days I will be representing the academy in the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Master Battle Tournament."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yun'er's eyes lit up instantly.
Her gentle face was full of surprise.
"That's great!" She couldn't help but grasp Huo Yuhao's hand. "You're only a second-year student and you've already earned this qualification. You should cherish it."
Huo Yuhao smiled but didn't reply.
He continued, "This time the competition will be held in Xingluo City."
His voice was calm, but his eyes were fixed on his mother's reaction.
"Mom, come with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a strange glint in Huo Yun'er's eyes.
Then, Huo Yun'er laughed and waved her hand, "You're going to the competition, what would I do there? No, no!"
The smile seemed forced, and the tone was somewhat flustered.
Huo Yuhao's heart sank slightly.
He knew that his mother was running away from the situation.
Huo Yuhao then cut to the chase and said directly, "Mom, this time it's not just about the competition."
He paused, then looked directly into his mother's eyes.
"Duke White Tiger will surely return from the front lines for such a major competition that takes place every five years."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao clearly felt his mother's body tremble violently.
The hands that were holding hers trembled slightly.
Huo Yuhao's heart sank. He knew that his mother still hadn't forgotten that man.
He continued, "Mom, we can't let all the suffering we endured be for nothing."
His voice was deep, yet it conveyed an undeniable firmness.
"I want to ask that person myself whether he truly cares about us."
Huo Yun'er didn't dare to look into her son's eyes, she just lowered her head, her eyes slightly red.
Huo Yuhao then said, "Mom, now that I'm capable, we don't need to be afraid of the Duchess anymore."
"Some debts must be collected!"
Hearing these words, Huo Yun'er's body stiffened.
Those past events, those pains, those memories she desperately wanted to forget...
Now that his son brought them up one by one, it was like uncovering a wound that had not yet healed.
This is the last thing she wants to think about right now!
A moment later, Huo Yun'er raised her head and looked at her son.
There was a hint of pleading in those eyes.
"Yuhao," her voice trembled slightly, "I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can grow up safely."
She squeezed Huo Yuhao's hand: "Let's leave what happened before behind, okay?"
Despite hearing this tone, Huo Yuhao did not compromise.
At this moment, he felt more heartache for his mother and hatred for the Duchess!
The mother and son are now living well, in a stable and peaceful life.
But that was because he had a fortuitous opportunity to travel to ten thousand years in the future.
It's because he learned about the past and made changes.
otherwise……
Otherwise, his mother would have been murdered in the White Tiger Duke's mansion long ago.
He was the only one left in the world.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao's hatred for Duchess Zhu Yunqing and Dai Huabin is not just due to his experience of being bullied when he was young.
It was even a "hatred for killing one's mother"!
He knew his mother would say that.
She's always been like this; she'd rather suffer injustice herself than let things go unpunished.
She would rather swallow all the bitterness in her heart than let her son be safe.
She was just an ordinary person without soul power, with limited knowledge and vision, and this was all she could do.
However, Huo Yuhao was prepared.
He looked at his mother, his expression turning serious.
"Mom," his voice was low and serious, "do you think we can live a normal life if we ignore them?"
Huo Yun'er was slightly taken aback.
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Impossible."
"The better we live, the more uncomfortable they become."
He paused, then took a deep breath.
"Not long ago... the Zhu family of Xingluo sent people to intercept and kill me."
"Fortunately, the faculty and staff of the academy arrived in time, otherwise... I might not have been able to see you."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yun'er's pupils suddenly contracted!
The pleading in her eyes was instantly replaced by terror. Her gaze swept over Huo Yuhao carefully, from top to bottom, from front to back, leaving no corner unchecked.
Even seeing Huo Yuhao standing unharmed in front of her, she was still worried.
"Yuhao," her voice trembled, "Are you alright?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Teacher arrived in time. He only suffered some minor injuries and has already fully recovered."
He told his mother a little lie.
However, this is a white lie.
Huo Yun'er's eyes were filled with heartache, and tears were glistening in them.
But her tone turned reproachful: "You child, why didn't you tell me about this?!"
Huo Yuhao patted his mother's hand and said softly, "I was just afraid you'd worry. Anyway, it's nothing serious."
Huo Yun'er's voice choked with emotion: "Isn't this a big deal?!"
She raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye, trying hard not to let the tears fall.
"Why...why is she targeting you again?"
Her voice was filled with pain and confusion.
"Are you really that unwilling to let us go?!"
The "she" Huo Yun'er was referring to was clearly the Duchess of the White Tiger.
Huo Yun'er looked at her son, her face full of self-reproach.
"It's all my fault for being so incompetent," her voice trailed off, "I'm not even a Soul Master, I couldn't protect you..."
Huo Yuhao then spoke, interrupting her.
"Mom, don't say things like that."
He held his mother's hand tightly.
"You gave me life, and I will protect myself and, more importantly, protect you."
Feeling his mother Huo Yun'er's trembling gradually subside and her breathing become more even, Huo Yuhao continued to speak.
"Mom, this time, I'm going to settle things with them."
"Otherwise, if this matter remains unresolved, we will continue to be in danger."
