Chapter 315 Prince Xuexing Wants to Pick Peaches
While Huo Yuhao was chatting with Zhang Lexuan and Tang Ya, Dugu Bo walked in with a group of people not long after.
Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw that the elegant and easy-going man next to Dugu Bo was Ning Fengzhi, who was dressed in white and had a casual and friendly smile on his face. Next to him was the cold-tempered Jian Douluo.
On the other side of Dugu Bo was a gloomy old man, dressed in luxurious gold clothes, with a gloomy face and no words.
Behind them followed three people, namely Xue Qinghe, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who were disguised as Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue was dressed in a white dress with golden threads, and he also had a faint smile on his face. When she saw Huo Yuhao, her golden eyes fluctuated slightly, and then she swept her eyes to Zhang Lexuan and Tang Ya, especially staying on Zhang Lexuan for a longer time, and then turned back to Huo Yuhao.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were standing next to him, whispering something. When they saw Huo Yuhao, their eyes lit up, and both pairs of beautiful eyes were filled with joy.
Noticing Huo Yuhao's gaze towards them, Zhu Zhuqing's stunning face remained cold, but the joy in her eyes could not be concealed. Ning Rongrong was much bolder and wanted to run up to hug Huo Yuhao, but she stopped after taking two steps, puffed up her pretty face and turned her head away from him.
Huo Yuhao chuckled, then stood up to greet them, holding the hands of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing who pretended to be angry.
"Senior Dugu, Uncle Ning, His Majesty the Sword Douluo, and Brother Xue." Huo Yuhao greeted everyone one by one. Of course, he did not forget to ignore Prince Xuexing who came uninvited.
After several people nodded and greeted each other, they sat down one by one. When Ning Fengzhi saw Huo Yuhao came up and started to raise his own cabbage without avoiding him, the smile on his face became even bigger.
Prince Xuexing saw that Huo Yuhao was the only one who didn't greet him, and his face was as gloomy as water, but he had to force a smile on his face.
"This must be Huo Yuhao. A few days ago, you helped me catch the termite under my subordinates, stopped me from making mistakes, and allowed me to turn back from my mistakes. You can be said to be my benefactor. I came here today to thank you, my friend."
"For this, I also asked my brother for the title of Duke to show my gratitude to you." As he said this, Prince Xuexing flipped his hand, and a yellow scroll appeared in his hand, "Huo Yuhao accepts the order."
Prince Xuexing looked at Huo Yuhao.
According to the rules, when facing the imperial order, Huo Yuhao had to bow slightly to show respect.
Huo Yuhao stood still, just staring at Prince Xuexing coldly.
"Oh, thank me? Do you mean to ask Senior Dugu to kill me?" Huo Yuhao's voice was cold with a hint of sarcasm.
"Please go back, everyone here is a wise man, you don't have to act here. You asked Senior Dugu to kill me, I didn't retaliate against you in order to let Senior Dugu return your favor, but if you continue to hang around in front of me, I can't guarantee your safety."
"You!" Prince Xuexing's eyes sank, but thinking of Emperor Xue Ye's order last night, he had to put on a smile again, "That was because I didn't recognize the great man before. I came here today because I really know I was wrong and I came to apologize to you."
"Really?" Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
"Of course, this imperial edict proves that I spent a lot of effort to ask for it from my brother." Prince Xuexing raised the imperial edict in his hand. Duke can be said to be the highest title in the Tiandou Empire besides the king. Is it enough to show his sincerity?
"But I sensed a strong killing intent in your heart." Huo Yuhao sneered, "I'll tell you quietly, I'm a spiritual master, I have a soul skill that can sense other people's inner emotions. You seem to want to tear me into pieces?"
Prince Xuexing's face suddenly changed, and he quickly turned his soul power to protect his head, and smiled reluctantly: "I was thinking about my subordinates who bully men and women and take human lives lightly, so I was full of resentment in my heart."
"So that's it!" Huo Yuhao seemed to believe it, nodded slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Your Excellency really loves the people like his own children, I didn't expect that you are so hateful and hateful. It's a blessing for the Tiandou Empire to have you."
"Hehe." As he spoke, Huo Yuhao couldn't help laughing, with an appropriate apology on his face, "Sorry, I just told a joke and I couldn't help laughing out loud."
Prince Xuexing's face darkened again. He could hear the humiliation of him in Huo Yuhao's words. He was pointing at his nose and scolding him, you are a joke!
After enduring for a while, Prince Xuexing put on a smile again. He wanted to continue talking, but he saw Huo Yuhao suddenly turned cold, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said:
"I won't be a duke of the Heaven Dou Empire, so you'd better go back early, otherwise, I can only let the people in the Prince's Mansion take you back."
Seeing this, Prince Xuexing knew that Huo Yuhao would never reconcile with him, so he stopped pretending and said in a deep voice:
"I came here today on the order of His Majesty. I heard that you want to build an academy, and His Majesty specially ordered me to cooperate with you on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue, who was watching the show on the side, couldn't stand it anymore. She had to place people under Huo Yuhao's command to build the academy. How could she tolerate others picking peaches?
She put down the teacup in her hand and said lightly: "Uncle, this cooperation with Brother Huo to build the academy is my responsibility, and you should be under house arrest by my father at this time. I don't know why you disobeyed the emperor's order and came here?"
"Your Majesty handed this matter to me yesterday. This matter has nothing to do with you, my nephew." Prince Xuexing said coldly.
"And you established the academy to appease the ordinary people in the Orlan City area. Since this matter is related to me, it should be presided over by me personally. It can be regarded as my compensation to those common people." Prince Xuexing said the matter of compensation, but his tone was not apologetic, but full of contempt.
"I will go to see my father now and tell him what happened just now. Ask him if he cares about the people of the empire. Ask him if he sent his uncle here to deliberately push a young talent like Brother Huo to the opposite side of the empire?" Qian Renxue immediately stood up, apologized to the others present, and wanted to leave.
Prince Xuexing was angry and anxious. If Emperor Xue Ye knew that he really offended Huo Yuhao to death, he might really be abandoned by Emperor Xue Ye to calm the anger of the people of the Tiandou Empire, Huo Yuhao, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
His original plan was to apologize to Huo Yuhao first, and if the other party accepted, he would try to cooperate.
If the other party did not accept, he would use the name of the Heaven Dou Empire to force Huo Yuhao to cooperate. In this way, he would have explained to Emperor Xue Ye, and he would have the capital to continue to delay. After that, he would contact Huo Yuhao and slowly eliminate the hostility in the other party's heart, and even win him over to his own side.
But who knew that his plan had an accident from the beginning. If the prince went to see Emperor Xue Ye, he would most likely be finished.
