"I should go now. Mom will be worried if I go back too late." After finishing the roasted rabbit leg, Huo Yuhao stood up, waved goodbye to the two of them, and turned and left under Mu Xing's gaze.

After Huo Yuhao disappeared from Mu Xing's sight, Fu Rui put down the rabbit head and asked in confusion: "Why don't you just take him away?"

"I don't like to force people. I want him to be willing." Mu Xing retracted his gaze. "This day will come sooner or later, when he finds out that his mother can't help him get the spirit ring."

How could you kidnap someone after just a few meetings? Although she did consider kidnapping instead of buying him.

It was three years later when they met again, and the boy's deep blue eyes revealed a deep hatred.

"Mom, your spirit in heaven is watching. No matter how much effort I put in, one day I will come back and trample everything here under my feet. From now on, I will take your last name and change it to Huo, Huo Yuhao."

"Wasn't your last name Huo before?"

“Uh…” Huo Yuhao’s hatred suddenly froze, leaving only endless embarrassment.

“Don’t worry about it and don’t explain to me. You must always be on guard against others. I’m sure your mother must have taught you this many times.” This kind of thing was irrelevant to Mu Xing. What she wanted was the person in front of her, whether she called him Dai Yuhao or Huo Yuhao.

Besides, she didn't even let the other party know her real name.

"Mom..." The reluctance and unwillingness on his mother's face when she passed away reappeared in his mind unconsciously. Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually turned red and he couldn't help but clench his teeth.

"Have you decided?"

“Yes!” Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously. “I want to join Dragon Pavilion. For revenge, I can do anything!”

"Is that so!" Mu Xing sighed, "If your mother had made up her mind to leave the Duke's Mansion three years ago, she would definitely still be alive and well, and you would have become a soul master long ago." Although she had sent people to secretly look after Huo Yun'er and her son in the past few years, and had people hint to them several times that they could live a better life if they left the Duke's Mansion, it was a pity that Huo Yun'er was unwilling to leave until her death, which delayed her son in vain and also cost her own life.

Huo Yuhao felt even more sad when he heard this. It was all the fault of the Duke's Mansion, a cannibalistic place, and Dai Hao. If his mother hadn't been worried about him, she wouldn't have insisted on staying in the Duke's Mansion, nor would she...

“Let’s look forward.” Mu Xing extended his hand to Huo Yuhao, “Let’s show each other our value.”

“I don’t know how much I am worth. In the Duke’s Mansion, they all say that I am a waste.” Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile.

"It is important for people to respect themselves." Mu Xing leaned down and looked him in the eye. "It doesn't matter how others look down on you. What's important is that you don't look down on yourself. Then others will not dare to look down on you in the future."

“Yes!” Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously. He had his own ideas. It was a pipe dream for him to go to the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion to seek revenge alone. Even if he had the ability in the future, how many years would it take? Twenty, thirty, or fifty years? By that time, everything would have changed. What would be the point of revenge? The goal he set for himself was to complete his revenge within twenty years. This required even stronger strength and power. Joining the Hidden Dragon Pavilion was undoubtedly a shortcut, and Mu Xing gave him hope to achieve this goal.

The White Tiger Duke's Mansion was located in the Xingluo Empire. Huo Yuhao only knew that he and Mu Xing had stepped into a crack that appeared out of thin air several times in succession. When the sun set, they arrived at the northern end of the Tianhun Empire.

Huo Yuhao held Mu Xing's hand tightly. From afar, he could see a world of ice and snow.

"Where are we going?" His physical talent was very poor, even worse than some ordinary people who were not born with awakened soul power. The north was still too cold for him.

"Go to Dragon City, where the Dragon Pavilion is located."

Dragon City is now one of the most prosperous economic centers on the continent. It is located in the northeast of the Tianhun Empire and the temperature is relatively low. After entering the city, Huo Yuhao, who had never been to a big city, was shocked by the bustling crowds and noisy noises here. He had never seen so many people before.

There were tall buildings on both sides of the street, and wide stone streets were dotted between the buildings. Some main roads were even more than 30 meters wide. The streets were crowded with people, some were in a hurry, and some were shopping leisurely. The air was filled with the aroma of various foods, and it seemed that every corner of the city was full of vitality. What surprised Huo Yuhao even more was that the cold wind was howling outside the city, but it was warm as spring inside the city.

“Isn’t it strange?” Mu Xing saw Huo Yuhao’s confusion and said, “This is all thanks to the Soul Guide Thermal Energy Device.”

“What is that?” It was Huo Yuhao’s first time traveling far away, and everything around him was very new to him.

"It's a soul guide device, but it's for civilian use. The soul guide thermal energy device can save a lot of expensive coal. It only needs to be injected with soul power by the soul guide once every week to meet the heating needs of the entire Dragon City, and it doesn't even have the smell of burning coal."

“What is a soul guide device then?” As soon as Huo Yuhao asked this question, he felt that he was too ignorant.

"In the beginning, it was just a weapon driven by soul power, and the higher the quality of the soul guide, the greater the power. Even if you are just an auxiliary soul master with no offensive power, you can have a considerable degree of offensive power with a powerful soul guide, and all you need to pay is soul power." Mu Xing was very patient, "But now you can see that it can also be used for people's livelihood."

“This… this is too great!” Huo Yuhao’s eyes lit up. If he could become a soul engineer, his chances of success in revenge would be greatly improved.

Mu Xing suddenly moved closer to Huo Yuhao and stared into his eyes, making him feel a little nervous and at a loss.

"What...what happened?"

"You have a pair of very useful eyes, which makes you very suitable to be a soul guide. If you want to learn, I can help you."

“Can you teach me how to make a soul guide?” Huo Yuhao’s eyes widened. He was a smart kid. The fact that Mu Xing could take him from the Xingluo Empire to the northern end of the Tianhun Empire within one day proved that she was not an ordinary person. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

"Maybe I'll teach you something else, like how to kill your enemies. It depends on what you want to learn."

Huo Yuhao’s eyes gradually brightened. He took a step back, increasing the distance between himself and Mu Xing. Then, he bent his knees and was about to kneel on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Mu Xing supported him and prevented him from kneeling down.

"Become my disciple!" Huo Yuhao said seriously.

"No need for such a grand ceremony." Mu Xing felt that he could buy a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment on the street.
