"Moreover—" Huo Yuhao looked at Bei Bei with a half-smile, then his gaze swept over Xu Sanshi, Wang Dong, Gongyang Mo, and the others, "Which of you dares to pat your chest and guarantee that you haven't taken a single pill since you started cultivating?"
Bei Bei felt her cheeks burning and couldn't help but lower her head. The others were also too embarrassed to make eye contact with Huo Yuhao.
And what's with this "Shrek Academy never forces growth" nonsense—they've never been seen consuming fewer elixirs anyway, just making a fool of themselves by saying they're better than everyone else.
Wang Yan clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
"Yuhao is right. Humility makes one progress. Even if we have some advantages, it doesn't mean we are much better than our opponents. Everyone should adjust their mindset and take every enemy seriously."
Bei Bei nodded silently. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Huo Yuhao's repeated criticisms of her, he was telling the truth after all.
"In any case, I've really learned a lot this time."
On the official road outside Xingluo City, a large troop of people was slowly walking towards the city gate.
In the middle of the procession was a huge carriage with a lifelike white tiger head. It was obvious that this was the carriage of Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger.
""
Dai Hao sat upright in the vehicle, resting his chin on one hand, flipping through the unfinished military affairs of the Western Army Group.
After reading a few articles, he became somewhat restless and put them aside, placing his hands flat in front of him and closing his eyes to rest.
Having been in military campaigns for so many years, Dai Hao was a seasoned veteran in the officialdom, and he was naturally aware of every little thing happening in the court.
This time, however, Xu Jiawei suddenly insisted that he return to Xingluo City, saying that he wanted to watch his two sons' matches together, which puzzled Xu Jiawei.
Everyone in the Star Luo aristocratic circle knows that Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin originally studied at Shrek Academy, but then had to transfer to Star Luo National Academy after committing a crime.
What would it mean if he went himself? Wouldn't that be a public execution of his White Tiger family?
Dai Hao was aware that Xu Jiawei did not trust him, but because Dai Hao controlled the military power of the Western Army Group, Xu Jiawei needed him to deal with the Sun Moon Empire, so the two forces had been in a relatively peaceful state.
With that thought in mind, Dai Hao had already arrived at the palace's viewing platform.
"Your subject Dai Hao greets Your Majesty and the Empress."
Xu Jiawei stepped forward with a smile and helped Dai Hao up, saying, "Brother, there's no need for such formalities. Please rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xu Jiawei's face was filled with a happy smile. This grandson is finally back! I can finally take back the military power of Mingdou Mountain Range!
Time flies, and age waits for no one!
"The last time I witnessed the final of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament in Star Luo City was twenty years ago. At that time, both I and my virtuous brother were just young men. Time has passed, and today, twenty years later, I am the ruler of a country, and my virtuous brother has become the first commander of the empire."
"But how many twenty-year periods does one have in a lifetime? That's why I must have my worthy brother return, even if it's just to reminisce about our youth!"
Dai Hao hesitated for a moment, then smiled and spoke, "Yes, looking at Princess Jiu Jiu and Dai Yueheng is like seeing myself and His Majesty back then!"
"That shameless old fox—" Xu Jiawei cursed inwardly. "What? You want to set up my sister for your son? You idiot who doesn't know his own situation!"
"Let's not talk about that. Look, my dear brother, the first half of the match is Shrek Academy's, and the second half is our Star Luo National Academy's. Finally, we can see Yueheng and Huabin show off their skills!"
Dai Hao feigned modesty and said, "Their insignificant achievements today are all thanks to the Empire; they really are nothing."
"Haha—my dear brother, you're as humble as ever."
The two old foxes chatted idly until the battle between Shrek Academy and Zhengtian Academy went from 2-2-3 to 3-3, with Huo Yuhao, He Caitou, and Ning Tian as the last three to enter the arena.
Xu Jiawei deliberately asked, "Brother, do you still remember this Huo Yuhao?"
"I remember, it was this person who had a little dispute with my son Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng, which led to—" Dai Hao paused for a moment.
Then he saw Huo Yuhao use his exquisite swordsmanship to cut down the golden leaf that was entrenched beside him, and then rush to Ye Wuqing's side in one breath. Surging lightning flashed on the arena, and Ye Wuqing was blasted away by a single punch.
This was a complete and utter victory, which made Dai Hao frown.
Dai Hao bowed slightly to Xu Jiawei, "Your Majesty, this boy's talent is indeed much higher than I expected. He is also a genius with twin martial souls. I hope Your Majesty can come up with a solution as soon as possible."
Dai Hao's words were definitely mixed with some personal grudges, after all, his two children were forced to drop out of school because of Huo Yuhao's actions.
Xu Jiawei almost lost his composure, but he managed to suppress his expression and asked with feigned surprise, "Then what you mean, brother—"
Dai Hao replied without hesitation, "If we can subdue them, we will; if we cannot, we must not leave a hidden danger for the empire."
"6
,
Xu Jiawei's lips couldn't help but curve into a beautiful smile.
So much fun!
Your own father is actually urging the emperor to kill his son! Dai Hao, if Huo Yuhao knew what you said today, how many days would you have left to live?
"We should show more respect to such a genius," Xu Jiawei said with a smile. "I've already sent Jiu Jiu to get in touch with this great genius from Shrek Academy. After all, he's from the Star Luo Empire, so he must have some feelings for his motherland."
Dai Hao raised an eyebrow slightly. Judging from this old fox's words, was he planning to use a honey trap? What about Yue Heng?
After watching Huo Yuhao walk off the stage amidst cheers from the audience, he stood up after a long while and walked towards the Shrek team.
A hint of unease flashed in Dai Yueheng's eyes.
As the eldest son of the Dai family, he naturally knew this princess of the empire, but she was usually quite low-key and rarely went out, so they didn't have much interaction.
But now the Dai family is in a predicament, and it would be best if he could make contact with the royal family. Moreover, Xu Jiujiu's appearance and temperament are undoubtedly the best choice. But unfortunately, this noble princess does not seem to have any interest in him in that regard.
On the contrary, she had a strong interest in Huo Yuhao. Whenever Huo Yuhao had a match, this princess was always the first to arrive at the venue.
Could it be—thinking of this, Dai Yueheng's face darkened.
"Jiu Jiu, isn't it inappropriate for you to go directly to the Shrek team?"
After a long silence, the young master Dai did not respond. Instead, he spoke bluntly, "Deputy Captain Dai, please address me by my title when we are working."
