Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Zhu Zhan was the same, and so, the two silently sipped their tea. Zhu Rui and Song Mingye stared at each other with wide eyes, not saying a word, while Dai Hao remained silent, but the old fellow's gaze occasionally drifted towards Huo Yuhao, a complex and conflicted expression on his face. Huo Yuhao noticed this, but he couldn't be bothered to pay attention. The atmosphere in the room was somewhat strange.

Zhu Zhan also sensed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he took the initiative to start a conversation: "Yuhao, I came here especially for you. You know, you are now famous in Star Luo City, and I think it won't be long before you become famous throughout the continent."

"Duke, you flatter me. This little bit of skill I have is nothing. I owe all my achievements to my teacher's guidance," Huo Yuhao said politely. We're not close, so don't try to get familiar with me!

"The Body Sect Master? I have long admired him. But don't be so humble. To reach this level at such a young age..."

Next, Zhu Zhan spoke effusively, praising Huo Yuhao to the skies, with all sorts of compliments flowing from his mouth.

Huo Yuhao was speechless. Please, Uncle, wake up! Your martial soul is a cat, not a dog.

"Yuhao, what do you think of my daughter?" During their chat, Zhu Zhan suddenly shifted the topic to Zhu Rui.

Zhu Rui, who had been sitting quietly beside them, trembled slightly upon hearing this. Her hands under the table gripped her skirt tightly. So, this was finally happening.

This was the tragedy of a large family. Unless they had exceptional talent, women often became tools for connecting powers.

No one would willingly let their marriage be arranged by others, and Zhu Rui was no exception.

What if he was the young master of the Body Sect? What if he was young and promising? What if he had extraordinary talent? What did it have to do with her? Could he be better than her Yue brother?

Huo Yuhao's thoughts raced. This opening was wrong. It sounded like he was trying to play matchmaker. Was he going to say something about a talented man and a beautiful woman?

His gaze involuntarily turned to Zhu Rui, whose eyes were dim and filled with pain. When she noticed Huo Yuhao looking at her, she immediately turned her head away, as if she had "unwilling" written all over her face.

"Duke, you are handsome, elegant, and your appearance is comparable to Pan An. You possess extraordinary talent in both military and civilian affairs, truly a rare hero in a century, and you will surely achieve great things."

"As the saying goes, like father, like daughter. Miss Zhu is naturally beautiful, stunning, intelligent, and exceptionally talented. She is equally adept in the drawing room and the kitchen, truly a rare woman in ancient and modern times. It is an honor for me to meet you two today."

Huo Yuhao's mouth was like a machine gun, quickly exhausting his not-so-solid literary knowledge.

Zhu Zhan's old face turned red with embarrassment, and he cursed inwardly, 'This kid has a glib tongue. What handsome and elegant? I'm already old. What does that have to do with me?'

And who was this Pan An?

Zhu Rui also felt uncomfortable. What exceptional talent? What did that have to do with her? Besides, Huo Yuhao didn't even know what her talent was. He was just talking nonsense.

But soon, Zhu Rui began to panic. From what this guy was saying, it seemed like he didn't dislike her. Would he really agree to her father's proposal? Zhu Rui panicked, really panicked.

Song Ming and Ye Lengleng behind Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle. It was the first time they had seen Huo Yuhao like this.

Huo Yuhao smiled as he looked at the opposite side. 'Say something! Weren't you very talkative just now? Who doesn't have a mouth?'

"Ah ha ha, it seems that you have a good impression of Rui'er. In that case, I will take the liberty of betrothing Rui'er to you today!" Zhu Zhan was an old fox, with a very thick skin.

Uh!

Huo Yuhao was speechless. Sure enough, it was that old-fashioned girl-giving scene again. Were they talking about marriage already?

"Hehe, Duke, you jest. I am only twelve years old this year. It is too early to talk about these things now. Besides, this is my first time meeting Miss Zhu. It is really inappropriate," Huo Yuhao said with a twitch of his lips, thinking, 'You really dare to say that. Have you ever thought about what I will do to your sister and grandson in the future?'

Zhu Zhan waved his hand and said豪声道: "Ambition knows no age, and marriage knows no age. Rui'er is fifteen this year, three years older than you, but as the saying goes, 'A woman three years older holds a golden brick.' Moreover, Rui'er is already level thirty-nine. Although she can't compare to you, she won't disgrace you."

Damn, you're giving yourself face, aren't you? When did it become your Zhu family's turn to decide my marriage? Huo Yuhao cursed inwardly.

Finally, Zhu Zhan looked at his daughter, only to see that the usually timid daughter was now boldly looking directly at him.

"Father, I don't want to marry him."

Zhu Zhan frowned and scolded in a cold voice: "What is this place? What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up."

The Duke's authority had long been deeply rooted in her mind. Under Zhu Zhan's scolding, Zhu Rui's body trembled, and she subconsciously wanted to lower her head, but this time she was rarely雄气: "Father, I don't want to marry her, and I can't marry her."

"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Zhan asked in confusion.

"Because, because..." Zhu Rui bit her lip, hesitating, as if she found it difficult to say, "Because I am already Yue Ge's person."

Zhu Zhan stood up abruptly. "What, what did you say? That lowly thing, defying his superior, he is so bold, so bold. And you, you shameless rebellious daughter, you are really making me angry, making me angry." Zhu Zhan pointed at Zhu Rui, his fat face flushed with anger, his whole body trembling.

Zhu Zhan was not only angry at his daughter's lack of self-respect. It was okay if she had lost her virginity, but how could she say it in this kind of situation? The Zhu family's young lady, who was supposed to marry Huo Yuhao, had already lost her virginity. Wouldn't it be a laughing stock if it spread out? Wasn't this slapping Huo Yuhao's face, slapping the Dai family's face, and slapping the Body Sect's face? Zhu Zhan cursed Zhu Rui a hundred times in his heart.

However, what he didn't know was that Zhu Rui said it on purpose. She hadn't lost her virginity. The purpose of saying this was to completely cut off the Zhu family's plan to use her for marriage, because Huo Yuhao would definitely not marry an impure woman given his status.

Indeed, as soon as Zhu Rui finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's face immediately darkened. Even if he didn't have the idea of marrying into the Zhu family, that wasn't a reason for the Zhu family to humiliate him.

"Yuhao, listen to my explanation. I didn't mean to. I didn't know about this either. But it doesn't matter. I have another daughter who is younger than you..." Zhu Zhan didn't give up and turned to Huo Yuhao.
