Chapter 240 Qian Renxue: Come find me tonight
The surrounding crowd began to whisper among themselves, their faces filled with disbelief.
For most people present, the title of Holy Son of the Spirit Hall was undoubtedly a foreign and mysterious one.
They may have heard some rumors about the Spirit Hall, but their understanding of the Spirit Hall's Holy Son was like looking at flowers through a fog, elusive and hard to grasp.
After all, for these ordinary people living at the bottom of society, they are more familiar with the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
In their hearts, the Pope is a god-like figure, an object of their faith and reverence.
The identity of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall seems far removed from their daily lives.
However, although the concept of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall was vague to them, what they were witnessing was still shocking.
What they saw was Prince Xue Beng, a figure who was almost as noble as the God of Heaven in their eyes, showing unprecedented respect and humility in front of Huo Yuhao, even to the point of worship.
For these people who are used to ordinary life, this scene was undoubtedly a heart-wrenching visual shock.
Ordinary people are always very curious, and they are very interested in the interactions between those high-ranking figures.
In their view, whether someone is good or bad is unimportant. What they care more about is how those of higher status will behave when facing even more powerful figures.
This mentality may stem from their incomprehension and curiosity about the game of power, or it may be because they are eager to glean some secrets about the workings of power from the interactions of these important figures.
Huo Yuhao stood there, calmly watching the avalanche before him. A slight, almost imperceptible smile played on his lips.
For him, everything happening before his eyes seemed to be getting more and more interesting.
He could sense the whispers of the people around him, and their curiosity and surprise.
To him, all of this was merely a scene in a meticulously orchestrated drama. And he was the protagonist of this drama, reveling in the thrill of being in control of everything.
Huo Yuhao knew that this show had only just begun, and he would lead the plot to one climax after another.
Huo Yuhao now has an uncanny ability to see through Xue Beng's subtle calculations and hidden thoughts.
He knew perfectly well that Avalanche's true intention was nothing more than to use his power and influence to help him ascend the throne smoothly.
Huo Yuhao's wisdom and observation skills allowed him to easily see through Xue Beng's ambitions, but he did not show any dissatisfaction or opposition. He simply observed Xue Beng's every move quietly.
At the same time, Xue Beng was also constantly observing Huo Yuhao. His gaze was not only fixed on Huo Yuhao, but also carefully observed the three girls beside Huo Yuhao.
To Huo Yuhao's left stood a girl in a blue dress, a girl Xue Beng knew all too well. She was Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Looking at Ning Rongrong in front of him, Xue Beng felt a tremor in his heart.
Xue Beng remembered that when Ning Rongrong first came to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she had been beaten up by someone because of some minor misunderstanding.
At the time, Xue Beng unintentionally acted more arrogantly than Ning Rongrong, but unexpectedly provoked the young lady's anger. Ning Rongrong had a fiery temper and acted directly, never beating around the bush, which left a particularly deep impression on him.
However, Ning Rongrong's arrogance has its reasons.
After all, the other party is the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Moreover, Xue Beng understood that if he could get Ning Rongrong's help, his path to the throne would be much smoother with Huo Yuhao's support.
Therefore, while observing Ning Rongrong, Xue Beng was also thinking about how to better utilize the relationship between her and Huo Yuhao.
Besides Ning Rongrong, the other two girls beside Huo Yuhao also caught Xue Beng's attention. Although they didn't know what kind of background they had, the two of them looked like they were not to be trifled with.
However, compared to the other two girls, Xue Beng paid more attention to Ning Rongrong.
To be honest, Xue Beng has never met anyone as arrogant as Ning Rongrong in his life.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao was able to win over Ning Rongrong. This was simply unbelievable to Xue Beng. After all, in Xue Beng's eyes, Ning Rongrong was practically a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, a true reincarnation of the Demon Orb.
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to express his thoughts, a crisp and melodious sound of horses' hooves suddenly broke the tranquility of the street.
Immediately afterwards, a luxuriously decorated, glittering carriage slowly drove into everyone's view.
The carriage is exquisitely designed, with every detail revealing the owner's noble status, making it seem like a work of art.
Its appearance undoubtedly added a beautiful scene to the street, attracting the attention of everyone around.
This carriage was even more luxurious than the one that had been used in the avalanche; it exuded an aura of wealth from beginning to end.
Its wheels are inlaid with sparkling gems that gleam in the sunlight, making their value impossible to ignore.
The carvings on the car body are exquisite, and every detail exudes unparalleled luxury, as if they were the work of artisans who poured countless efforts into it.
The horses pulling the carriages were also carefully selected steeds, with coats as smooth as silk and a steady, powerful gait, showcasing their noble lineage.
These horses are also decorated with magnificent harnesses, and the gold and silver ornaments and gemstone embellishments on them make them look even more luxurious.
Upon seeing the carriage before him, Xue Beng's lips curled into a smug smile. The reason he was so happy was that the owner of this carriage was none other than his uncle—Prince Xue Xing.
The carriage slowly came to a stop, and the attendants quickly stepped forward and respectfully opened the door. A distinguished middle-aged man stepped out, dressed in a magnificent robe and wearing a golden crown; his every gesture exuded an innate air of authority. This man was none other than Prince Xuexing.
Let's go back to the time when Avalanche and Snowstar were talking.
Avalanche: "Uncle, I've finished washing up. Now, let's go find the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall."
However, upon hearing Xue Xing's words about avalanche, a glint of wisdom flashed in her eyes.
He slowly stood up, straightened his fur coat, and then said to Avalanche in a calm tone, "No, we will no longer act together."
Upon hearing Xue Xing's words, Xue Beng was immediately puzzled. His brows furrowed, his face filled with confusion: "Uncle, why is that? Why don't we act together?"
Xuexing chuckled, a laugh brimming with confidence and wisdom.
He slowly walked to the tent entrance, gazing at the distant, undulating mountain range. Then he turned around, his eyes deep as he spoke to Xue Beng: "Xue Beng, think about it. If we act together, we might just run into Xue Qinghe. The probability of Huo Yuhao choosing Xue Qinghe, this Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, is one in five, just as the probability of him choosing us is one in five. But if we split up—"
Xue Beng immediately understood Xue Xing's meaning: "Yes, Uncle, how come I didn't think of that? If we split up, there will be three forces searching for Huo Yuhao's side. In that case, Huo Yuhao will choose our side with two-thirds of the forces!"
A sudden realization dawned on Xue Beng's face. He realized that if they could split up, their search for Huo Yuhao's forces would form three separate groups. This would greatly increase their chances of winning when Huo Yuhao chose a partner.
Avalanche's mind raced, and he began to imagine the enormous advantage they would gain if they could successfully persuade Huo Yuhao.
If Xue Beng could think of this, Huo Yuhao could certainly figure it out. He didn't expect that Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing had so many ulterior motives. However, they probably never imagined that he had always been with his so-called "Xue Qinghe" and himself.
After all, the real Crown Prince's serum had long since disappeared to some unknown corner, and the current Xue Qinghe was not the same Crown Prince as before, but Qian Renxue.
Huo Yuhao stood to the side, a slight smile playing on his lips, lost in thought.
Xue Xing alighted from the carriage and bowed to Huo Yuhao in return. His elegant posture and polite manners made it difficult for anyone to detect the scheming hidden deep within him.
Xuexing's every move was so graceful, as if he were visiting an old friend rather than seeking a political alliance.
Looking at Xue Beng and Xue Xing in front of him, Huo Yuhao suddenly had a plan in his mind, which was to make Xue Xing and Xue Beng lose both their wife and their army.
Huo Yuhao began to devise a brilliant plan: he would ensure that Xue Xing and Xue Beng would not only fail to obtain the benefits they desired in their pursuit of cooperation, but would also have to pay a heavy price.
He wanted to ensure that these two seemingly shrewd nobles would ultimately end up with nothing.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips.
He wants all the benefits from Xuexing and Xuebeng, and he also wants to get involved with both Xuexing and Xuebeng.
Huo Yuhao's plan is not limited to preventing Xue Xing and Xue Beng from obtaining the benefits they want; he also wants to further weaken their power.
Just as they were chatting happily, Xue Qinghe's carriage finally arrived, the sound of horses' hooves echoing crisply on the cobblestone road.
The carriage curtain was gently lifted, revealing Qian Renxue's exquisite face. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she saw Huo Yuhao mingling with Princes Xue Beng and Xue Xing, which made her raise an eyebrow.
However, Qian Renxue quickly thought of Huo Yuhao's mischievous nature, and a smile couldn't help but rise in her heart.
Since Yuhao enjoys playing around so much, I'll play along and see this whole show through.
Immediately, Qian Renxue's face changed to one of regret and disappointment.
Judging from his expression, he was clearly regretting missing out on Huo Yuhao.
Xue Beng and Xue Xing noticed the change in Qian Renxue's expression. They exchanged a glance and both revealed smug smiles.
They knew that Qian Renxue's expression undoubtedly showed her regret for Huo Yuhao's "loss of composure." The two secretly rejoiced, feeling that they had definitely gained the upper hand this time.
Xue Xing thought to herself, "My dear nephew, you didn't expect this, did you? You've been scheming your whole life, but you still made a mistake this time, allowing us to befriend Huo Yuhao, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, before we even met the woman."
Xue Beng was also very pleased with himself. He looked at Xue Qinghe in front of him, and his tail was practically wagging.
Having fought with Xue Qinghe for so long, this was the first time Xue Beng had seen Xue Qinghe so out of control. It seemed that his thinking was indeed correct; he must hold on tightly to Huo Yuhao's coattails.
Avalanche thought to himself: "My dear brother, you didn't expect this, did you? We've already brought the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall into our camp ahead of time. Now, the most powerful people in the world are on our side. I'll see what you have to offer to compete with me!"
At this moment, Avalanche was extremely pleased with himself.
In the Douluo Continent, the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are undoubtedly the world's super powers.
The Spirit Hall is the strongest force in terms of overall strength on the entire Douluo Continent, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the wealthiest force on the entire Douluo Continent.
Now that the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have joined forces, there is no doubt that the Spirit Hall is now the most influential force on the entire Douluo Continent.
Subsequently, Xue Beng and Xue Xing immediately showed Huo Yuhao respect, and they respectfully led Huo Yuhao to Xue Beng's residence.
Xue Beng respectfully invited Huo Yuhao to the carriage.
Even though it was just a short distance from the ground to the carriage, Xue Beng diligently stood guard by, constantly touching Huo Yuhao's clothes to make sure that every wrinkle on Huo Yuhao's clothes was facing the same direction.
Ning Rongrong looked at Xue Beng with disdain. This fourth prince had absolutely no bottom line; he actually went to such lengths.
Avalanche naturally noticed Ning Rongrong's disdainful gaze, but he pretended not to see it.
After all, Ning Rongrong was someone he really couldn't afford to offend.
Although he was a prince, his status as the fourth prince was far inferior to that of the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
After all, behind Ning Rongrong stood two powerful experts at the Super Douluo level.
Moreover, she is showered with love and affection.
In comparison, he could act arrogantly in front of ordinary people because of his status as the fourth prince, but if he really offended Ning Rongrong, he would probably get a severe beating.
However, just as Huo Yuhao turned to leave, he clearly heard Qian Renxue's voice.
"Yuhao, remember to come to my room tonight. I'll be waiting for you at the Crown Prince's residence."
