Chapter 358 Huo Yuhao: Madam, long time no see
The White Tiger Duke's Mansion is located in the northwest of Xingluo City.
For some reason, it suddenly started to rain lightly in the originally clear sky. The rain continued continuously and wouldn't stop for a while.
The long sword crossed the sky and stopped at a hill.
"Brother Junting, this is it."
Huo Yuhao lowered his head and looked down, murmuring.
"Is Auntie buried here?" Chen Junting came to him and saw his lost look. After patting his shoulder to express comfort, he controlled the Seven Kills Sword and slowly fell downwards.
The closer he got, the more Huo Yuhao's body trembled.
In an instant, his thoughts were drawn back to the past.
The poor and frail boy knelt in front of a desolate small grave made of loess and stones with a wooden board as a tombstone and wept bitterly.
At that time, the boy was quite weak.
But now, all weakness no longer exists.
When his feet stepped firmly on the ground, his thoughts of memories were instantly brought back. He looked at the hill with a complicated expression, and then walked out step by step regardless of the raindrops falling outside.
Raindrops fell, gradually drenching him.
He walked towards the hillock and kept murmuring, "Mom, my son is unfilial. After nearly seven years, I came back to see you..."
Chen Junting didn't make a sound and just followed him.
After climbing over the hill, a tall tombstone appeared in the field of view in the distance, and Chenjun Pavilion stopped there.
The rest of the time will be left to Yuhao himself.
The tombstone in the distance is more than two meters high and very wide. It is beautifully decorated with granite and has some auspicious animals carved on it. Behind the tombstone is a tomb also repaired with granite, sitting there alone.
Looking at the standing tombstone, Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly became moist. Taking a few quick steps forward, the words on the tombstone clearly appeared before his eyes - the tomb of his beloved wife Huo Yun.
The signature is Dai Hao's name.
The original wooden tombstone, a handful of loess, and a pile of stones that he made by himself have been replaced by this granite.
Suddenly, thoughts emerged in Huo Yuhao's mind.
Father, no, Dai Hao has been here!
He renovated his mother's grave.
At least he didn't forget the word "loving wife". But…
What’s the use if you don’t forget!
His mother is dead!
Leave yourself completely!
Huo Yuhao's eyes were dull and complicated, and he knelt down in front of his mother's tombstone with a "pop" sound. Tears poured out uncontrollably. He leaned on the corner of the tombstone and cried bitterly.
"Mom, I'm back, I'm here to see you! I have become a real soul master and have a new home. Mom!"
After so many years of absence, this was the first time Huo Yuhao came back to pay homage to his mother. There was no doubt that he was riddled with guilt.
Over the years, in order to become stronger, he had neglected food and sleep and almost never rested. He didn't even dare to think about his mother because he was afraid that he would be impulsive and seek revenge.
Now, the time has come!
He has gone from a weak child back then to a soul emperor-level powerhouse with the ultimate attribute of twin martial souls, with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as his backer. Now, everything has changed.
He finally had the courage to come back to worship and the ability to take revenge!
He wants the duchess and those evil servants to pay for their debt with blood, and he also wants Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger to kneel before his mother's grave and repent!
He wants the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to pay the price!
It took about a quarter of an hour or about half an hour before Huo Yuhao finally got up from the tomb and walked back to Chen Junting.
"Brother Junting, I'm fine."
Chen Junting glanced at Huo Yuhao out of the corner of his eye, and his still red eyes could tell that he had just vented his emotions happily.
He didn't say much, just said: "Let's go."
Looking at the outline of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the two walked straight away. Not long after, he arrived in front of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
"Who are you?"
The two guards guarding the door didn't dare to act presumptuously when they saw Chen Junting and the two men were dressed in extraordinary clothes. They just stretched out their hands to stop them.
"This is the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. If you two sirs want to see someone, please state their names, and we will go in and report."
At this moment, neither Chen Junting nor Huo Yuhao took action without permission. Instead, they were preparing to show courtesy first and then attack.
"Go and inform Duke White Tiger or Duchess White Tiger that Chen Junting and Huo Yuhao, disciples of the Jiubao Glazed Sect, are visiting."
When the two guards heard this, they immediately did not dare to neglect.
You know, this is the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect! So he hurriedly said: "Please wait a moment, I will inform the madam right away."
One person was left to entertain, and the other person hurriedly went to inform. Chen Junting and Huo Yuhao stood in the rain, waiting quietly.
But compared to Chen Junting, who was immune to even a drop of rain, Huo Yuhao let the light rain hit him. Along the way, his clothes were already soaked, and his hair was hanging down, covering half of his face, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
Upon seeing this, the remaining guard wanted the two of them to come under the eaves to take shelter from the rain. It was obvious that Chen Junting and the others looked unshakable and swallowed back the words that came to their lips.
Maybe this is a special habit of big shots?
It's better not to say anything more for a little guy like him.
Lest disaster come from your mouth when the time comes.
At the same time, in the study room of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
The White Tiger Duchess is looking through and calculating the financial and treasure income and expenditure of the Duke's Palace this year.
But at this moment, "Mrs."
"What happened?"
The Duchess asked after pausing her work.
"Disciples from the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect are visiting."
"Nine Treasures Glazed Sect..."
murmured the Duchess.
This is really strange. Why would a disciple of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect suddenly visit their White Tiger Duke's Mansion? If it was formal, a greeting note should be sent in advance. Let’s put it this way…
"What's the name of the visitor?"
As she asked, the Duchess packed up the financial records on the table. No matter what, since someone from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect is here, they must be treated with a certain amount of attention.
"One is called Chen Junting and the other is called Huo Yuhao."
"...It turned out to be them."
The Duchess thought for a moment and searched the names of the two people from her memory. They were indeed very impressive.
……
"Coming."
Chen Junting looked at the closed door and said suddenly.
The next second, the door slowly opened. A graceful and regal woman walked out, making people recognize her identity at a glance. The wife of White Tiger Duke Dai Hao is also the daughter of the previous generation Xingluo Emperor and the sister of Xu Jiawei.
"Welcome..."
The moment the duchess stepped out of the palace and said the words, Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his head and looked at her. The hatred in his heart seemed to be burning out of his eyes!
"You are!"
At this moment, the Duchess's eyes suddenly widened. Because she saw the shadow of a person in Huo Yuhao.
