"My husband, I know I was wrong. I won't mention the past anymore."

The Duchess, seeing Dai Hao's rage result in so many deaths, also realized her earlier mistakes.

Too impulsive.

Some things should never be brought up in public.

"Huo Yun'er has been dead for so many years, where did this dagger come from? Could it be that Huo Yun'er's son has returned?"

The Duchess had long thought of Huo Yuhao.

But, she still couldn't accept this outcome.

"It's very likely," Dai Hao said with a grave nod.

"Huo Yun'er's son is just a waste Martial Soul, how could he be a match for Hua Bin?"

"Sometimes, to kill a person, you don't necessarily have to do it yourself."

Dai Hao looked deeply troubled, "You take care of Hua Bin's descendants properly. I'll make a trip to the imperial palace to see if His Majesty can help us find the murderer."

"My husband, Hua Bin's body is still warm, you want to leave now?"

Dai Hao just gave the Duchess a deep look before striding away.

It wasn't until Dai Hao had completely disappeared from her sight that the Duchess threw herself onto Dai Huabin's body and burst into tears.

"Wuuu wuuu."

"If only I had nipped the problem in the bud back then and killed that bastard child too."

"Hua Bin, it's all mom's fault…

"But you're also too heartless, leaving mom like this, how am I supposed to live? Your elder brother is ruined, and mom's body can't bear children anymore. The future inheritance of the Duchy Residence will probably fall to that bastard Dai Luoli's son. That vixen, won't she just shit all over mom's neck?"

"Hua Bin, please rise and help mom…"

...

Elsewhere.

Qin Xiao had just returned to the hotel when he noticed Meng Hongchen waiting outside his room.

"Uncle Master, you're back."

Meng Hongchen greeted Qin Xiao, her pretty face immediately lighting up with joy.

But, in the next moment, her expression changed, "Uncle Master, why is there blood on you? Are you hurt?"

Qin Xiao shook his head slightly, "No, I encountered a stray dog outside trying to bite someone and I killed it. This is that beast's blood."

Not giving Meng Hongchen a chance to ask more questions, Qin Xiao added, "Why aren't you asleep this late?"

"When you didn't show up for dinner, I realized you were out. I prepared this for you."

Meng Hongchen took out a carefully prepared love-filled meal from her Spatial Soul Guidance Device.

Qin Xiao was slightly taken aback.

However, Meng Hongchen didn't wait for a response; she thrust the love-filled meal into Qin Xiao's hands and quickly said, "Goodnight," then hurried away.

Qin Xiao shook his head, "This guy…"

"Qin Xiao, if you let down my granddaughter's kindness, see if I don't... Humph."

A cold snort suddenly came from behind Qin Xiao.

Without turning around, he knew who it was.

Jing Hongchen.

He had even faintly sensed Jing Hongchen's presence when he went to the Duchy Residence to kill Dai Huabin.

But.

Wasn't this just right?

Seeing him kill Dai Hao's son, Jing Hongchen would be much less wary of him.

Yet.

Qin Xiao still feigned a startled reaction, turning around and patting his chest.

"Dean Hongchen, don't you know that scaring people can scare them to death?"

Jing Hongchen snorted, "Humph, you little rascal boldly stormed into the Duchy Residence alone and killed the Duke's son; I see you've got quite the courage."

Qin Xiao smiled slightly, "My grudge with the Duchy Residence, I've told you before, and you probably already know, don't you?"

"If we were to switch places, if you were me, after being oppressed for over a decade and finally possessing the power to take revenge, would you hold back?"

"Haha, of course not," Jing Hongchen laughed, "Don't be tense, I'm here to tell you that I've taken care of some small things you neglected. No one will connect the attack on the Duke's son to you.

Also, don't rush with your revenge. Your current Cultivation Level is quite impressive among your peers, but it's still weak compared to the powerhouses in Soul Land. You should focus on cultivating and studying soul tools, Mingde Hall will support you all the way. I believe it won't be long before you surpass Dai Hao, and then, won't you just be able to wipe out the entire Duke's Mansion at will?"

Jing Hongchen cajoled and painted a rosy picture.

Just as Qin Xiao had thought.

It was only after seeing him kill Dai Huabin that Jing Hongchen truly trusted Qin Xiao.

This was Qin Xiao's lifeline.

In the future, even if Qin Xiao truly betrayed the Sun-Moon Empire and Mingde Hall, this matter alone would be enough to make the Xingluo Empire put him to death.

"Then, my thanks to Dean Hongchen for the cultivation," Qin Xiao said.

"Care to join me for a bite?" Qin Xiao asked, not wanting to drag the conversation with Jing Hongchen any further.

"Forget it, I'm not hungry; enjoy it yourself," Jing Hongchen waved his hands repeatedly.

He could tell that the love-filled meal must have been personally prepared by Meng Hongchen.

The taste... hehe, was left to the imagination.

Whoever eats it knows what it means to be in agony.

Qin Xiao astutely noticed Jing Hongchen's gaze, and something suddenly clicked in his mind.

However.

Before he could ask about the truth of the matter, he felt a sudden movement.

Jing Hongchen's face also showed surprise, "Eh, where is this strong soul power fluctuation coming from? In Xingluo City, it's impossible for a Titled Douluo to make a move…"
