Imperial Palace

"I wasn't there at the time but later that night, Rong Rong seem to have gotten into a conflict with another student."

"I didn't want her relationship with everyone to end like that, so I told her a little story."

"Rong Rong seemed to have listened to it and later apologise to everyone at the Spirit Arena."

After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and said with a smile.

"I believe that Rong Rong will no longer be ostracized by the others."

Ning Fengzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that his little witch could cause so much trouble in the academy.

"Yuhao, thank you. I just wish that you wouldn't have to take any action but It's all over now."

Although Huo Yuhao spoke lightly about the experience, Ning Fengzhi knew exactly what role Huo Yuhao played in shaping his daughter.

'With the mystery displayed by Yuhao, it is no wonder why she fell for this kid.'

Although Ning Fengzhi said that he wouldn't care and blame Yuhao for how he treated to his precious treasure, that doesn't mean that he can't get a little revenge for her. So, at the dinner table, he just kept pouring wine for Yuhao to drink with no hint of stopping. 

Ning Fengzhi will return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan tomorrow with Zhao Wuji.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Huo Yuhao, with a slightly red face, solemnly thanked Ning Feng again.

"Master Ning, thank you for your help. I'll leave Teacher Zhao in your care!"

Zhao Wuji, who was standing by, also drank a lot and his eyes were a little red.

"Although I have only known you for a short time, I am proud of having a student like you in my life. I am useless and cannot help you build a better future. You have to walk the road ahead on your own."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, his smile was gentle.

"Teacher Zhao, don't worry, I will seek justice myself and it isn't too far away."

Zhao Wuji opened his mouth and choked up. He had never hated his own powerlessness as much as he did at this moment. His dormant passion for cultivation erupted once again, more violent than ever before.

He wanted to become stronger, and even if he couldn't protect them, he wanted to stand by his students and fight together.

Ning Fengzhi saw Zhao Wuji's mood and said, "Then Mr. Zhao and I will leave first. Yuhao, come and visit the Seven Treasures Glazed Clan to see us when you have time."

As he spoke, he patted Zhao Wuji on the back, and the two middle-aged men gradually left Huo Yuhao's sight. Huo Yuhao watched the two of them walk further and further away until they could no longer be seen.

"Let's go back too."

"Mmm."

Hu Liena gently hugged Huo Yuhao's arm.

"Parting is always painful."

A hoarse voice sounded in Huo Yuhao's ears, causing his body to stiffen slightly and many images flashed before his eyes.

"Well, it not like we'll never see it again. But, yeah, I just can't adapt to it."

"I don't want to leave you either."

"Mm."

"Do you love me more now?"

"I do."

"Hehe."

In the hotel.

Huo Yuhao stared at the girl in front of him in amazement. She was wearing the same white dress from the auction. The slender legs under the short skirt are covered with thin black stockings.

A charming voice brushed past his ears.

"I forgot to fulfill my promise yesterday, so I'll make it up today~"

The next day.

The luxurious palace located at the center of Heaven Dou City and is where the Imperial family and their servants live.

Huo Yuhao and Hu Liena were in front of the palace. They were stopped by the guards at the door.

"May I ask what are your intention in entering the palace?"

"Uh..." The two looked at each other and Huo Yuhao coughed lightly.

"We are here to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The guard nodded and continued to ask.

"Do you have a permit to enter? If not, please leave."

This put Huo Yuhao in a dilemma, as Bibi Dong had only given him the letter, but that is quite normal as the relationship between Spirit Hall and the two Empire has always been sour. Yuhao seemed to have thought of something, and touched his belt, and a badge appeared in his hand.

This was the token Ning Fengzhi gave him yesterday, saying that with it he could enter and leave the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan freely. Huo Yuhao handed it to the guard.

"Is this ok?"

The guard's eyes widened. He took it, checked it carefully and returned it.

"So you two are members of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan. Please come in, and I hope that you would forgive for my offense."

"It's okay and thank you."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, then walked in with Hu Liena.

"By the way, where is his Royal Highness located at?"

The guard thought for a moment and pointed in a direction.

"His Royal Highness should be in the study reviewing documents at this time. Please look for the highest palace. His Royal Highness should be located in the palace right next to it."

Huo Yuhao thanked him again and walked slowly on the luxurious path. It can only be said that it is worthy of being the residence of the Imperial family. The environment is beautiful, and the fountains and statues match each other beautifully. Even the green plants are neatly trimmed, and seems to be taken care of everyday.

There were few people on the road. When the two passed the tallest hall, two figures walked out of the hall.

A man wearing a luxurious yellow robe, with gray hair, and a slightly fat body, gave off a condescending vibe. On his right followed a thin middle-aged man with dark green eyes and hair.

"Hm?"

The light exclamation came from the middle-aged man with the strange hair color. His eyes were closely following the backs of Huo Yuhao and Hu Liena with a look of surprise and doubt.

"Mr. Dugu? What's wrong?"

The middle-aged man in fancy clothes at the side asked softly, following his sight, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong with those two?"

"There is a problem. The woman on the right is the current Saintess of Spirit Hall."

The other party's voice was very soft, but it exploded in his mind like thunder.

"What!? Why would the Saintess appear here? Mr. Dugu, are you sure you aren't mistaken?"

The man called Mr. Dugu shook his head slightly.

"No doubt about it. I have seen her before. Her aura is exactly the same. They seem to be heading to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The middle-aged man's pupils shrank. The direction the two men left was exactly the palace of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and his eyes flickered.

"I don't know why the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall would come to see the Crown Prince. But Mr. Dugu, this is a good opportunity to strike a blow to the him!"
