Douluo: Me! Huo Yuhao, Holy Son of Wuhun Palace.

Star Luo Palace.

Under the temptation of soul guide technology, Emperor Xingluo finally chose to agree to the contract.

He promised that in the near future he would select a suitable city within the Xing Luo Empire as the basis for the expansion of the defense project; at the same time, he would increase support for the mining of mineral resources within the Xing Luo Empire, collect scarce metals from all walks of life, and prepare to invest heavily in the development of soul guides.

Emperor Xingluo knew very well that soul guides were completely epoch-making.

Only when their soul guides start to take off will they have a chance to contend with the Spirit Hall.

They were previously forced to do research due to the sheer technical barriers of soul guides.

Now that he has this opportunity, he must seize it no matter what and let the soul guides in the empire get started first.

As for large-scale defense projects, as long as the initial investment and costs are controlled and the backbone forces are retained to always guard against the Spirit Hall, it is not a bad thing in the long run.

The two sides reached a preliminary consensus.

At the invitation of Emperor Xingluo, Huo Yuhao and Qian Renxue stayed to attend the palace dinner.

……

Star Luo Palace.

When Dai Yun'er heard that Huo Yuhao was coming, her heart was pounding.

I didn't expect that he would actually come and plan to stay for the dinner.

She was still struggling with what to wear for the dinner when Davis arrived first.

"Brother, why are you here?" Dai Yun'er was a little surprised. "Help me see, which one is better, the pink one or the bright red one?"

She held a dress in each hand.

“Yun’er, let me make it clear to you in advance. Huo Yuhao is here on behalf of the Spirit Hall, and he is accompanied by His Highness Qian. This dinner is of great importance right now, so you must not cause any trouble.” Davis warned.

Dai Yun'er was stunned at first, then gradually became sad. Finally, she lowered her head, and her arms that were holding her dress slowly dropped down, with the hem of her dress touching the ground.

Wordless silence.

Davis looked at it, feeling a little reluctant.

He naturally knew what his sister was thinking, but the problem was... his sister was not suitable for him.

He wanted to say something, to comfort her.

"I understand. Is there anything else, brother?" Dai Yun'er lowered her head.

Davis couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

"Then you...get ready first, I'll come see you later."

Dai Yun'er hummed softly and silently put away her dress.

Seeing this, Davis signaled to the maid next to him, and he turned and left first.

-

That night, the Xingluo Palace dinner arrived as scheduled.

Huo Yuhao himself didn't really like these social events.

Qian Renxue has been undercover in the Tiandou royal family for many years and is very familiar with these procedures.

At this dinner, Huo Yuhao met an old acquaintance, the Platinum Archbishop Yelivi of the Star Luo Empire's Spirit Temple.

As the Spirit Hall grew in power, his status as the Platinum Archbishop also rose and became extremely important.

In the Xing Luo Empire, if he did not show up at such an important dinner, it would be something suspicious.

Yelivi was extremely respectful to Huo Yuhao and Qian Renxue, and he also knew that Huo Yuhao must have come here with a mission.

Huo Yuhao informed the other party of the Pope's decision in a few words.

When Yelivi heard about the "open soul guide technology", he couldn't help but be surprised and felt a little surprised.

He knew that Huo Yuhao was the owner of this soul guide technology, and that Huo Yuhao had a very high say in this regard.

But in the current situation, supporting the armed forces of the Star Luo Empire... is it really okay?

He couldn't figure this out and didn't dare to ask.

Perhaps His Holiness the Pope has his own considerations.

Huo Yuhao naturally knew the other party’s confusion.

In fact, they can easily fall into a misunderstanding in the process of thinking, that is, they all subconsciously believe that the original intention of His Royal Highness the Son of Heaven must be for the development of the Spirit Hall.

The things they can't figure out are mostly attributed to their own incomplete vision and inability to gather information, which enables them to see through the high-end game plans of others.

If we break this misconception.

For example, from Qian Renxue’s perspective, she learned that Huo Yuhao was closely related to the Xingluo royal family.

Then, dissuade the Pope from using violent means to start a war, promote the development of soul guides in the Xingluo Empire, and "impersonate" the identity of the Xingluo royal family;

Behind these seemingly suspicious and incomprehensible behaviors, the answers are obvious.

Protect shortcomings.

No matter how unbearable it was in the past, he still had feelings for the Star Luo Empire.

“Besides that,” Yelivi gestured to Huo Yuhao to come closer.

Huo Yuhao approached as instructed.

"Your Highness, do you still remember the seafaring exploration mission of that year?" Yelivi deliberately lowered his voice.

Qian Renxue's ears twitched slightly, her eyes flickered, and she was a little curious.

what action?

“Is there a result?” Huo Yuhao was also a little surprised.

At that time, the Xing Luo Empire suspected that it had discovered the secret place of Dragon Valley, and specially dispatched many ships and warships to explore it.

He had even made promises to the Silver Dragon King about this matter.

"There is some news, but it has only anchored in the general sea area, without a specific location. It is said that the place belongs to an ocean restricted area and is affected by extreme cold currents, making it difficult for ordinary ships to enter." Yelivi said mysteriously.

Ocean restricted area?

Huo Yuhao was secretly shocked when he heard this. Could it be that he was referring to the "Eternal Frozen Sea"?

Through the [Listening] ability bestowed upon him by Queen Qingyou, he discovered that the other party was not lying.

This doesn't ensure that the news is true, it just ensures that he is not lying.

After all, Yelivi could also be deceived by the information.

"As for more specific information, I think only Your Majesty knows better." Yelivi said, looking at the figure above the throne.

After toasting, he left first.

Huo Yuhao looked at Yelivi's departing back and took a sip of the wine in the glass.

"What news?" Qian Renxue asked softly in his ear.

"A secret realm, or to be more precise, a 'cemetery'. Most likely only the dragon clan can enter it." Huo Yuhao said.

"Cemetery?" Qian Renxue was a little surprised.

“I’ll talk to you in detail later.” As Huo Yuhao spoke, he looked up at the Xingluo Emperor above him and glanced at him.

Emperor Xingluo noticed his gaze and nodded with a smile.

Dai Yun'er was dressed stunningly, wearing a fiery red cloud shirt. She came to toast Huo Yuhao, sincerely calling Qian Renxue "Sister Qian".

Davis was quite nervous when he saw this scene not far away, fearing that his sister would run into an obstacle and get embarrassed.

He came over with a wine glass in hand and greeted Huo Yuhao with a smile.

Just a simple chat and then leave.

Watching the brother and sister leave, Qian Renxue raised her wine glass and clinked glasses with Huo Yuhao.

"It seems that the girl is interested in you." Qian Renxue took a sip of wine and teased with a playful tone.

"I'm not the only one who likes you." Huo Yuhao argued with a smile.

He could naturally see what the little girl was thinking, but that was all.

To him, they were just acquaintances.

The kind of person who will help out when he can, but that's all.

Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked towards the Xingluo Emperor, then spoke to Qian Renxue beside him.

"follow me."
