Bab 797: Chapter 156 Truth_1
"There's nothing much to regret. If I had successfully become human again at that time, we might not have ended up together like this."
The Snow Emperor had a strong capacity for endurance.
Having transformed into this current state, she actually became more open-minded.
"That's true,"
For a while, the Ice Emperor didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Indeed, as the Ice Emperor said, being together was a very happy thing.
It was a stroke of luck amid misfortune.
"Now that the matter is resolved, you two should take the time to catch up,"
"Sky Dream, I need you to enhance the age of my newly acquired Soul Ring as well as the previous ones,"
Qin Xiao instructed.
The Skydream Ice Silkworm did not dare to slack off and immediately nodded, "Yes."
...
Meanwhile.
Xingluo City.
Duke White Tiger's Mansion.
Today the mansion was decorated with lights and banners, for the eldest son from Shrek City, Dai Yueheng, was coming home.
"Madam, Madam, the eldest son has arrived at the entrance,"
In the grand hall of the Duchy Residence, a servant ran up to the Madam frantically, knelt on one knee, and excitedly said.
"Yue Heng is back!"
The Madam stood up excitedly.
After her younger son met with misfortune, her heart had been as if missing its cornerstone.
Thus, she sent word, hoping Dai Yueheng would return to the mansion. Although Dai Yueheng was now disabled, he was after all the only heir of the Duke's family.
If something happened to him, the Duchy Residence really would have no successor.
Of course...
Even though that little demoness from the concubine's side did bear the Duke a son, he was nothing but a good-for-nothing, without any qualifications to inherit the Duke's title.
Even though Dai Yueheng no longer had the potential to become a Titled Douluo, as long as he lived, he was the rightful heir to the Duke's title.
In his veins flowed the blood of the Duke and the royal household; how could he be compared to some bastard born from a concubine's side?
Let alone the fact that Dai Yueheng was still a Soul Master—it wouldn't even be a bastard's place to inherit the Duke's title even if Dai Yueheng were an ordinary man!
"What are you all standing around for? Why aren't you hurrying to the mansion entrance to welcome the eldest son?"
The Madam stamped her foot angrily.
However, at that moment, Dai Yueheng's voice was heard from outside the hall.
"Mother, your child has returned."
The Duchess looked towards the entrance of the hall and saw a tall but very thin figure walking in.
It was no one else.
This was her eldest son, whom she had not seen for a long time—Dai Yueheng!
The Madam quickly stepped forward to Dai Yueheng, and instantly tears flooded from her eyes.
He had lost weight.
He had aged.
Though he should be at the vibrant age of teens or twenties, he looked as old as someone in their forties or fifties.
He was cloaked in a veil of decline.
But she knew that this was all normal.
Not that she was cursing her own son, but Dai Yueheng had gone through so much. The impact on him had been immense.
A fallen genius, reduced to a cripple, to persist in living took courage.
"Child, you've suffered these past days."
Madam, trembling, reached out her hand to gently caress Dai Yueheng's face.
Feeling the warmth he hadn't felt in a long time, tears began to involuntarily slide down the corners of Dai Yueheng's eyes.
In this moment, he lost all his false strength, appearing like a helpless child.
"All of you, leave us now. Without my summons, no one is to approach," she commanded.
Madam dismissed everyone around her.
For a time, only she and the eldest son were left in the great hall.
Dai Yueheng cried even louder.
The emotions he had suppressed for so long were finally released at this moment.
After a long while,
the crying subsided.
With red-rimmed eyes, Dai Yueheng turned to Madam and asked, "Mother, has the murderer who killed my brother been found?"
At the mention of this, a pained expression crossed Madam's face, "Not yet. But let me find him, and I will surely flay him alive and scatter his ashes!"
Madam spoke with intense hatred.
"However, I do have a clue which I haven't told anyone. In fact, we have always known who the murderer of your brother is."
"What? That's not right. If we know, why can't we catch him?"
"Do you still remember that Dai Yuhao bastard? He killed your brother. The reason we haven't found him is that we've never seen him from the very beginning. He has been gone for a long time, and no one knows what he looks like now."
As she spoke, Madam couldn't help but clench her fists, "Yue Heng, do you know what I regret the most? I regret not killing that Dai Yuhao bastard directly. Because of this, your brother lost his life!"
"What? You're talking about Dai Yuhao?"
Dai Yueheng was suddenly shocked.
"My son, why such a look? Have you seen Dai Yuhao?" she asked.
"Mother, do you remember when we sent him to the other residence and the servants said that he had changed his name to his mother's surname as well? So he is also called Huo Yuhao?"
Madam thought hard with furrowed brows for a moment, "It seems that there was such a thing. But whether he is Dai Yuhao or Huo Yuhao, what difference does it make?"
Dai Yueheng answered seriously, "There's a big difference. No one has seen Dai Yuhao, but some have seen Huo Yuhao."
"Who has seen him?"
"Many people... He even came to Xingluo City to take part in the Soul Master contest!"
"The Soul Master contest!"
Upon hearing this, Madam was suddenly shaken to her core, as if struck by lightning.
"It's a match! Your brother had an accident while participating in the Soul Master contest. Therefore, the murderer could very likely be among the contestants! I never thought, never suspected that Huo Yuhao, that bastard, was hiding among the contestants. It's simply unforeseeable!"
Madam's understanding suddenly became clear.
At that moment, half of the doubts in her heart were resolved.
"My son, who on earth is Huo Yuhao?" she asked, eager to know his true identity.
Dai Yueheng took a long breath, "He is a student at the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy, Qin Xiao!"
"What? The Sun-Moon Empire? The Royal Soul Guidance Academy?"
A look of disbelief spread across Madam's face.
"As incredible as it sounds, that's the truth.
I didn't know this secret either until Beibei recognized him."
"How does Beibei know him?"
"Beibei met him once in Aquipeia Forest. At that time, he even told Beibei and Tang Ya his name was Huo Yuhao."
Dai Yueheng paused, then continued, "Back then, in Xingluo City, Shrek Academy was under scrutiny, and Beibei didn't dare to acknowledge him.
But sometime ago, as an exchange student from the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy, Qin Xiao came to Shrek Academy, and Beibei was certain."
After all, those Eye Martial Souls are just too rare..."
Unconsciously, he too clenched his fists.
If he had known earlier that Qin Xiao was the one who harmed his brother, he would have never let him off easily.
