Chapter 186 Are you a man?
Huo Yuhao had already arrived when Lei Jing and Dai Yueheng clashed in the alleyway at the entrance to the secret passage. However, just to be on the safe side, he didn't help Lei Jing. Dai Yueheng's fall into the life of an evil soul master, and the mutation of his martial soul into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, gave Huo Yuhao some clues.
He didn't want to expose himself to Dai Yueheng's attention too early. Who knew if there were other forces secretly watching Dai Yueheng? He wouldn't make a move as long as Dai Luoli wasn't in mortal danger. So it wasn't until Dai Luoli's martial soul awakened and he rushed out to find Dai Yueheng to die that Huo Yuhao knocked him unconscious and escaped under the cover of the simulation.
As for how the White Tiger Duke's Mansion would deal with Dai Yueheng, and what kind of conflict would erupt between Dai Yueheng and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, Huo Yuhao had no interest in getting involved. He was happy to see Dai Yueheng causing trouble at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
After all, this was a family matter of the White Tiger Duke's mansion; what did it have to do with him, an outsider? His only concern was ensuring the safety of Dai Luoli and his mother, his two benefactors. Now that Dai Luoli had been found, the next step was to find his mother.
The White Tiger Duke's mansion is too dangerous now. If Dai Luoli and her son continue to stay here, their lives may be in danger. Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and decided to take them away first.
Having escaped Dai Yueheng's threat, Huo Yuhao first took Dai Luoli back to Dai Luoli's small courtyard.
At this moment, there was no one else in the courtyard besides the two of them. Pushing open the door to Dai Luoli's room, Huo Yuhao laid him down on the bed, then lifted Dai Luoli's arm and used his own soul power to nourish this unfortunate child who was severely overdrawn.
While nurturing Dai Luoli's meridians, Huo Yuhao took out the Bone Refining Pill from his soul tool and gave it to Dai Luoli. With the help of his soul power, the medicinal power of the Bone Refining Pill was rapidly spreading.
A faint, dark red light emerged from Dai Luoli's skin and traveled throughout her body as Huo Yuhao's soul power drove it. Each time it passed through a bone, a series of crisp "crunching" sounds rang out, accompanied by a tingling and pain caused by the bone strengthening.
Eleven-year-old Dai Luoli had never experienced anything like this before. He had only just finished strengthening his arms when the pain jolted him awake from his deep sleep.
Panting heavily, Dai Luoli opened his eyes and saw Huo Yuhao, who had a black ponytail, was incredibly handsome, and had an indifferent and aloof expression. This person, whom he had never met before, seemed to care about him a lot.
Who am I? Where am I? Where is Dai Yueheng? Where is Uncle Lei? And who is this?
Dai Luoli was stunned, her brain seemed to have shut down, and she didn't know what to say.
Seeing his dazed look, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and said, "Close your eyes and concentrate. Follow my soul power guidance and continue absorbing the medicinal power of the Bone Refining Pill. If you have any questions, ask them after you've finished absorbing it."
"Ah...you're a man!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's face immediately darkened...
"Your focus is a bit odd! Stop wasting time and get back to work!"
Dai Luoli's expression was a little strange, but he still obediently did as Huo Yuhao said. Although bone strengthening was painful, Dai Luoli could indeed feel his improvement. Even though he had a lot of questions to ask, this was definitely not a good time.
Seeing Dai Luoli sit up and meditate cross-legged, Huo Yuhao helped him practice for a little while longer. Once he was familiar with the process, he let him do it on his own.
Just then, there was a knock on Dai Luoli's door.
"Knock knock knock!"
Huo Yuhao frowned, remained silent, and habitually released his simulation to hide himself and Dai Luoli's figures.
"Third Young Master! Are you there?"
"The door isn't locked, let's go in and take a look."
"But..."
"Why so many 'buts'? Things haven't been peaceful in the manor lately; we must be careful!"
"Oh well."
After saying this, several guards opened the wooden door, came in, looked around, and even opened the wardrobe to check it out.
"That's strange. Could it be that Young Master Lei took him to training right now?"
"Let's go! We need to hurry and find the Third Young Master to convey the Duke's orders."
"By the way, have you seen the Second Madam?"
"No, I remember that the Second Madam went back to her parents' home a few days ago and hasn't returned yet."
"Why didn't the Third Young Master go with them?"
"It is said that the Third Young Master's martial soul has undergone a benign mutation, and his soul power has reached a bottleneck, requiring a second soul ring."
The Duke promised to take him hunting for spirit rings in a while, that's why he hasn't gone yet, right?
"Alright, alright! Let's get this over with, guys. Who knows if that lurking villain might suddenly strike!"
Did the second wife go back to her parents' home?
Huo Yuhao suddenly realized why he hadn't been able to find anyone after searching for so long! This saved him a lot of trouble; he could just take Dai Luoli and run away in a bit.
At the White Tiger Duke's mansion, in Dai Hao's villa, a group of White Tiger guards returned after issuing their orders.
Dai Hao was listening to the reports from the guards.
"Report! Dai Lin, Dai Hu, and Dai Huan have all received the news!"
"Report! Dai Jinglun, Dai Yuqian, and Dai Mengming have all received the news!"
"Report! Your subordinates have not found the eldest young master and the third young master!"
Dai Hao turned around abruptly, staring in disbelief at the reporting guard. After a few seconds of stunned silence, his blood rushed to his head, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he was enraged!
"Something happened to Yao Heng and Luo Li?!"
Upon hearing this, the imperial guard who had brought the message knelt down in fright and hurriedly explained, "I couldn't find the two young masters and don't know if anything has happened to them..."
An uncontrollable surge of soul power from a Contra Douluo-level expert swept across the entire courtyard. Dai Hao gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and veins bulged on his forehead and exposed forearms. All the guards were terrified and remained silent.
They were originally kneeling on one knee, but at this moment they all followed the example of the guard who came to deliver the message and hurriedly knelt on both knees. Some even knelt down and kowtowed, fearing that Dai Hao's anger would affect them.
Just then, a gentle aura of soul power spread out instantly, neutralizing most of Dai Hao's soul power pressure. Dai Hao looked up and saw Fan Zhixie, who had just gone to investigate Lei Jing's sixth soul skill.
Dai Hao, who had initially been somewhat pleased, looked up and saw Fan Zhixie's grave expression. A bad premonition instantly welled up in Dai Hao's heart. Could it be...?
"Uncle Fan, what happened to Lei Jing? Where's Luo Li? Have you seen Yao Heng?"
Fan Zhixie didn't speak, but looked at Dai Hao with a complicated expression and gently shook his head.
"My son! My son!"
There was no response, no news, but whenever Dai Hao thought of his clansmen who had died tragically, he couldn't help but imagine the worst.
"Dai Hao!!! Calm down!!! No news right now is good news!!!"
Fan Zhi's words struck Dai Hao like a hammer blow, jolting him out of his daze. The White Tiger Duke, regaining his composure, suppressed his unease, waved his hand, and said, "Everyone back to your posts. Report immediately if there's any news!"
"yes!"
