Chapter 247 Revisiting Xingluo
The sycamore trees on campus turn green and then yellow, then green again; their leaves fall and then grow back, then fall again.
Before we knew it, the holiday was here again.
Huo Yuhao stayed at home for two days before leaving, his destination being Xingluo City.
He wasn't just making things up when he told Wang Dong he had a lot to take care of during the holiday.
Those plans, those ideas, those people he needed to meet—he had to implement them one by one.
Compared to the last time when Star Luo City was flooded with people due to the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, this time it wasn't as lively, but as the capital of the Star Luo Empire, it was still prosperous.
Huo Yuhao looked up at the "Starlight Auction House" sign above, wondering if Xu Jiujiu was still there.
Huo Yuhao did not come alone this time; there was another person with him.
The figure was tall and slender, with long black hair cascading down like a waterfall, making her stunningly beautiful face even more captivating.
His features were exquisite, his eyebrows and eyes like a painting; anyone who saw him would exclaim, "This girl is truly beautiful!"
He turned to Huo Yuhao with his pinky finger slightly raised, and asked, "Yuhao, what are we doing here?"
His speech always gave people a strange feeling.
Because it was clearly a male voice, but it was soft and gentle, which created an inexplicable sense of incongruity.
This person was none other than Gongyang Mo!
He was standing next to Huo Yuhao at this moment, and under his right trouser leg was a silver-white metal leg.
But at this moment he was wearing trousers, and from the outside he looked no different from a normal person.
Huo Yuhao brought Gongyang Mo with him because he couldn't possibly handle everything personally later on.
He needs to build his power base, handle affairs, and deal with various emergencies, leaving him overwhelmed. He needs a trustworthy helper.
Among the five, Huo Yuhao chose Gongyang Mo for two reasons: first, Gongyang Mo did not have any family influence and would not be subject to the constraints of various forces; and second, Huo Yuhao had done Gongyang Mo a favor.
That leg-shaped soul tool not only allowed him to stand up again, but also rekindled his hope for life.
Huo Yuhao felt that Gongyang Mo was the most trustworthy person among the five at this stage, so he took him to explore his resources in Xingluo City.
"I'm taking you to meet someone."
Huo Yuhao smiled and stepped into the Starlight Auction House.
As soon as I reached the door, a staff member came up to me with a big smile.
He was dressed in a neat uniform and had a professional smile on his face.
His gaze swept over the two of them, finally landing on Gongyang Mo, and he said, "Hello, madam, it's not auction time now. If you would like to entrust the auction to someone else, I can take you there."
Although Huo Yuhao, who was standing next to him, was not short, he still had a childish look on his face and did not seem like someone who would make decisions.
Therefore, the waiter's words were clearly directed at Gongyang Mo.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao burst out laughing.
He had told Gongyang Mo to cut his long hair long ago, and now he's being mistaken for a woman.
Gongyang Mo did not fly into a rage upon hearing this; he merely snorted, "What kind of eyesight do you have? Can't you tell the difference between men and women?"
The waiter was taken aback when he heard this. He recognized the voice as male and realized he had made a mistake.
But I can't blame myself for this. The other person's appearance and demeanor are completely like a girl's!
He had never encountered such a situation before and was at a loss for how to deal with it. He stood there helplessly, his face full of embarrassment.
Huo Yuhao smiled and casually took out a round token.
The token was made of white jade, with intricate patterns engraved on one side and a crown carved in the center of the other side.
He waved the token in front of the waiter and asked, "Is Xu Jiujiu here?"
The waiter was shocked when he saw the token. He recognized the patterns engraved on the silver token; it was a symbol of royalty, a token that only a very few people could possess.
Moreover, upon hearing Huo Yuhao address the princess by her name, he knew even more that the other party was no ordinary person.
He quickly shifted his attention from Gongyang Mo to Huo Yuhao, his face full of respect.
He said respectfully, "The princess is not at the auction house. You may wait in the reception room, and we will inform the princess immediately."
"Um!"
Huo Yuhao nodded, and following the waiter's guidance, they passed through the hall, walked down the corridor, and arrived at the reception room on the first floor.
After the waiter left, Gongyang Mo finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "Who are we going to see? That person said it was a princess? Could it be the princess of Xingluo?"
Seeing Gongyang Mo's expression, which was a mixture of confusion and excitement, Huo Yuhao didn't hide anything, since he was about to meet him soon.
"That's right, we're here to meet Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire!"
After receiving a definite answer, Gongyang Mo's mouth dropped open.
He came from a commoner background, and before he became a Soul Master, those nobles were people he had to look up to.
Even now that he has become a Soul Master, he still feels that the royal family is very distant from him.
I never expected that this trip to Xingluo City with Huo Yuhao would lead to meeting a princess of a nation.
Seeing Gongyang Mo's shocked expression, Huo Yuhao calmly said, "Don't be so surprised. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with these royal families in the future."
Gongyang Mo's gaze towards Huo Yuhao changed slightly. He slowly nodded, surprised that Huo Yuhao had such a connection with the Star Luo royal family.
The two did not wait long in the meeting room; about half an hour later, the door to the meeting room was opened.
The door hinges turned, making a slight creaking sound, and a beautiful figure appeared, walking in from outside.
She was tall and slender, wearing a bright yellow long dress, the hem of which shimmered softly in the sunlight, like flowing gold.
Her appearance was absolutely stunning, with exquisite features and beautiful eyebrows, comparable to Gongyang Mo.
But unlike Gongyang Mo, she was not gentle and beautiful; instead, she possessed a certain nobility and majesty.
The person who came was none other than Princess Xu Jiujiu of Xingluo, whom Huo Yuhao had come to see.
When she heard that someone had come to the Starlight Auction House with their exclusive token, she knew it must be Huo Yuhao.
She dropped everything and came over immediately.
After a long while, his gaze swept over Gongyang Mo and finally landed on Huo Yuhao's face.
With a bright smile, she asked, "Young Master Huo, what brings you here today?"
Huo Yuhao had come here because he needed something from someone, and his attitude was very friendly.
He smiled and said, "I've come to see Princess Jiujiu, naturally to discuss important matters."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu glanced at Gongyang Mo, the stranger.
Huo Yuhao understood what she meant and said, "He's one of us. If I'm too busy in the future, I might have to ask him to contact Princess Jiujiu."
After a long pause, he nodded, sat down next to Huo Yuhao, and asked, "Young Master Huo, do you have a new soul tool?"
Although Huo Yuhao did not return to Xingluo City during the past year or so, his cooperation with Xu Jiujiu continued uninterrupted.
During this period, he also produced a number of soul tools, which were transported to the Starlight Auction House for sale by the royal family.
Of course, some of them were bought by the Star Luo Royal Family themselves, who wanted to study Huo Yuhao's soul guidance technology.
Huo Yuhao's many soul tools are quite different from those currently on the market.
His design is more ingenious, his craftsmanship is more exquisite, and his effect is more outstanding.
Therefore, they are very popular, and people are naturally looking forward to Huo Yuhao's new products.
Huo Yuhao smiled, a smile that carried a hint of mystery.
He turned to look at Gongyang Mo and said, "Senior Gongyang, show Princess Jiujiu your legs."
Xu Jiujiu was stunned upon hearing this, and then a blush crept onto her face.
She already knew from the waiter that Gongyang Mo was a man, judging from his legs.
Even if he looks like a woman, he's still absolutely unsuitable.
Why is Huo Yuhao bringing this up right away?
A surge of shame and anger welled up inside her.
The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 252 Revisiting Xingluo, we look forward to your visit.
