Chapter 140 Zhu Lu's Fear
Star City, the Duke of Youming's Mansion.
Ten thousand years ago, the Netherworld lineage was inferior to the White Tiger lineage, and this phenomenon did not change even after Zhu Zhuqing became a god.
With the decline of the White Tiger Dynasty more than four thousand years ago, the Netherworld lineage also fell into complete decline.
Although the Zhu family of Youming still holds the title of Duke, their actual influence is not even as great as that of some marquises.
All of this is inseparable from the covert suppression by the Xingguan Xu family.
The White Tiger lineage enjoys considerable popularity in Xingluo and cannot be easily dealt with.
However, the Zhu family of the Netherworld were not so lucky.
For over four thousand years, the Xu family has used every means to weaken the Zhu family's power in order to limit their martial soul fusion technique with the White Tiger family.
In the early years, neither the White Tiger Dai family nor the Netherworld Zhu family noticed anything unusual about the Xu family's methods, simply assuming it was due to the Zhu family's poor management.
Faced with this situation, the Baihu Dai family wanted to help, but their political enemies would always jump out to accuse them of trying to restore the monarchy.
To avoid suspicion, the Baihu family had to reduce their interactions with the Zhu family, and even made a promise that only one Netherworld White Tiger would appear in each generation.
It was only after making the promise that the Baihu and Youming families realized that the Xu family had played a crucial role in all of this.
But by the time they realized what was happening, it was too late; the Zhu family's decline was already irreversible.
Having lost the Netherworld White Tiger as their last resort, the White Tiger family could only obediently serve as subjects of the Xu family from then on.
Because one or two Netherworld White Tigers couldn't cause the slightest ripple in front of the Star Crown Sect.
Although the Duke of Youming's mansion still maintains its dignity on the surface, it is actually weak inside and out.
The night was as dark as ink, and the Duke of Youming's mansion was completely silent.
Moonlight spilled onto the mottled wall, revealing the marks eroded by time.
Huo Yuhao stood in the alley, looking at the magnificent mansion, which could not hide its desolate interior.
During the meeting just now, Huo Yuhao assigned various tasks to the members of the Di'ao Second Team.
But in reality, those missions were just a smokescreen.
Now, Xu Jiawei's spies must be everywhere in Xingluo City.
Only by completing various tasks to distract Xu Jiawei can Huo Yuhao's true objective possibly succeed.
Because of the poor enforcement and refereeing errors today, Xu Jiawei gave Dai Hao a night off, allowing him to take the two brothers, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin, back to the White Tiger Duke's mansion to catch up with the Duchess.
Huo Yuhao overheard Dai Hao and the Dai brothers talking about this by simulating himself into a tree at the entrance of the Star Emperor Hotel.
Zhu Lu, on the other hand, returned to the Duke of Youming's mansion to reunite with her family.
However, Xu Jiawei's spies were still everywhere in front of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the Netherworld Duke's Mansion.
Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng's starting point was the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
Huo Yuhao was born in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and is extremely familiar with the place.
Before he and Tianmeng left the Star Emperor Hotel, they had already changed their appearance through simulation, then passed through dark alleys, and finally entered through the small door where Huo Yuhao had left by simulating the appearance of a servant of the White Tiger Duke's mansion.
Afterwards, Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng lingered at the small door for a long time, then imitated Dai Hao and Dai Yueheng, while Gui Gui Chong slipped out through the small door.
All of this will inevitably be seen by Xu Jiawei's informants.
Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng traversed extremely complex paths, constantly changing their appearances using simulation skills along the way, before confirming that they had shaken off Xu Jiawei's spies.
"Brother Hao, did you find out everything just now?" Tianmeng asked.
Huo Yuhao said, "Don't worry, we've already found out where the small gate of the Duke of Youming's mansion is, and we've lured Xu Jiawei's spies there."
After hearing Huo Yuhao's affirmative answer, Tianmeng let out a long sigh of relief.
They then used their simulation skills to transform themselves into the appearances of Dai Hao and Dai Yueheng.
Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng were extremely careful to leave a trace, so that Xu Jiawei's spies would spot them and allow them to enter the Duke of Youming's mansion through a small door.
"Brother Hao," Tianmeng and Huo Yuhao changed their appearances again and came to the kitchen, "Xu Jiawei's informants should have been reported already."
Huo Yuhao casually chilled a glass of juice and drank it all in one gulp: "Then next up is Zhu Lu's side."
"As long as she sees Dai Hao and Dai Yueheng arrive at the Duke of Youming's mansion, she will definitely tell Dai Huabin."
"Brother Hao, I want one too." The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm no longer has the ability to use ice elements.
After taking the chilled juice from Huo Yuhao, Tianmeng chuckled, "When Dai Hao and the Duke of Youming both deny bringing Dai Yueheng here, what will Dai Huabin, who has the Youming White Tiger, think?"
"They'll inevitably think that Dai Hao has given up on him."
"And what will Xu Jiawei think when he receives the secret message saying that Duke Baihu and his eldest son are having a late-night rendezvous with Duke Youming?"
A cold glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes: "It's about time. We should go and show our faces to Zhu Lu."
Then Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng headed to Zhu Lu's residence, which they had found out from the servants' appearances.
Zhu Lu's residence was near the back garden and not far from the residence of the Duke of Youming.
Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng squatted in the back garden for a long time until they finally saw Zhu Lu's maid come out to get up in the middle of the night, and then they transformed back into Dai Hao and Dai Yueheng.
The maid, carrying a light-emitting soul tool, could vaguely make out the backs of two imposing men.
"that..
The maid's eyes widened: "It looks like Duke White Tiger and the eldest young master?!"
"Why did they go to the master's place?!"
The maid rubbed her eyes, trying to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
When she looked again, the two figures with blond hair had already disappeared at the end of the alley in the back garden.
"No! We must tell Miss right away!" The maid hurriedly returned to Zhu Lu's side.
Zhu Lu did not rest at this time.
Because Yao Haoxuan was injured in the knockout stage, Long Xiaoyao has decided to temporarily let her and Dai Huabin play in the round-robin stage.
They may not get a chance to play in individual battles, but in team battles and 2-2-3 situations, their Netherworld White Tiger can be considered a major killing move.
At this moment, Zhu Lu was quite anxious and had no desire to sleep.
Her personality is a microcosm of the current Duke of Youming's mansion; she is extremely dependent on Dai Huabin and has no opinions of her own.
"Miss! Miss!" The maid rushed open the door, "Something terrible has happened!"
Zhu Lu frowned and asked, "What's the panic? What happened?"
"I...I just saw Duke White Tiger taking the young master to the master's place!"
Zhu Lu suddenly stood up, exclaiming incredulously, "What did you say?!"
The maidservant said tremblingly, "Miss, I saw it with my own eyes! Duke White Tiger did indeed go to the master's place with the eldest young master!"
Zhu Lu unconsciously twisted her sleeves, her nails almost digging deep into her palms.
What does it mean that Dai Hao secretly met with the Duke of Youming late at night with Dai Yueheng?
Is the White Tiger family changing their marriage partner, or—
Zhu Lu's face turned deathly pale!
"No! I have to tell Hua Bin immediately!"
Just as Zhu Lu was about to rush out, Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng, disguised as Dai Hao and Dai Yueheng, secretly left the Duke of Youming's mansion.
They moved swiftly through the dark alleys of Xingluo City, returning as they had come, taking advantage of the fact that Dai Hao had not yet left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
Hurry up and enter through the small door.
At this moment, the east was already tinged with the pale light of dawn.
Last night, Dai Hao spoke privately with each of the Dai brothers, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin, hoping that they could get along well in the future.
Dai Yueheng, in particular, spoke the longest, urging him to be extremely careful during the Soul Master Competition.
When Dai Hao brought the two brothers back to the Star Emperor Hotel, they saw Zhu Lu standing at the hotel entrance with an absent-minded expression.
