Chapter 551 - Changed Destiny, Huo Yuhao's Envy

[White Tiger Dukes Mansion, Guest Reception Hall.]

[After calling Dai Luoli and Dai Yutong over, the Duchess also smiled and introduced them to Tang Wutian.]

["Your Highness, these are two children born to concubines of our White Tiger Dukes Mansion, Dai Luoli and Dai Yutong."]

[After speaking, the Duchess turned her head to look at Dai Luoli and Dai Yutong, her tone carrying a bit of deliberate condescension.]

["This is Your Highness from the Heaven Dou Empire, why haven't you greeted them yet?"]

[Hearing this, Dai Luoli quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.]

["Greetings, Your Highness!"]

[Dai Yutong, on the other hand, stood in place, her pearly teeth biting tightly onto her lower lip, her delicate hands clenched tightly into fists, her body slightly tense, and she did not speak right away.]

[Clearly, she had obvious internal resistance against the Duchess's command.]

[The Duchess's expression instantly turned gloomy.]

[Yet deep within her eyes flashed a trace of a sneer and joy.]

[She wished nothing more than for this concubine-born daughter to be unappreciative and provoke this Your Highness.]

[At that time, she could just seize the opportunity to make trouble and properly deal with this pair of mother and daughter!]

[A mere bitch born of a maid was actually able to make her husband, the White Tiger Duke, worry constantly and never forget her all these years—it was simply unforgivable!]

[However, before the Duchess could act up, Tang Wutian made the first move.]

[Twitching the corner of his mouth and experiencing a bout of incredulous shock, Tang Wutian quickly calmed down.]

[No matter what, things had already happened.]

[Since the Son of Destiny foreseen by his father had turned into a Daughter of Destiny, he would simply adapt to the circumstances.]

[Tang Wutian took a deep breath, stood up, and amidst everyone's astonished gazes, walked straight toward Dai Yutong, a gentle smile blooming on his face as he extended his right hand.]

["Your name is Dai Yutong? My name is Tang Wutian, very nice to meet you!"]

[This scene stunned everyone present.]

[The Duchess's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.]

[Dai Luoli also wore a look of utter bewilderment.]

[As for Dai Yutong herself, she was completely dumbfounded.]

[She never imagined that the boy before her, who clearly looked noble and extraordinary in demeanor, would take the initiative to walk over and talk to her.]

[For a moment, Dai Yutong was somewhat at a loss.]

[Yet she was not someone ignorant of etiquette.]

[After coming to her senses, Dai Yutong gently released her lower lip from her pearly teeth, extended her hand somewhat nervously, and lightly shook Tang Wutian's hand, her voice carrying a trace of nervousness and unease.]

["Hello Your Highness, my name is Dai Yutong, very nice to meet you too!"]

[Tang Wutian smiled, retracted his hand, and looked Dai Yutong up and down.]

[What Dai Yutong wore was a faded blue coarse cloth garment.]

[There were several patches at the cuffs and hem; although they were mended very carefully, one could still tell this piece of clothing had been worn for a very long time.]

[Her long blue hair, though neatly combed, had rather dry texture, and her complexion was somewhat pale—clearly, her nutrition could not keep up.]

[Looking again at Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin nearby, along with that gorgeously dressed Dai Luoli, the gap was clear at a glance.]

[The smile on Tang Wutian's face gradually faded, he turned his head to look at the Duchess, his brows slightly furrowed, his tone carrying a bit of dissatisfaction and questioning.]

["Madam, this Miss Dai Yutong is also a concubine-born daughter of the White Tiger Dukes Mansion, and the bloodline of the White Tiger Duke."]

["Why is her attire even inferior to servants? Furthermore, her complexion is pale, she is obviously malnourished."]

["Could this be because Madam failed to provide her with the treatment she deserves?"]

[The Duchess's complexion suddenly changed, and just as she was about to open her mouth to defend herself, Tang Wutian didn't give her the chance at all and continued speaking.]

["As the wife of the White Tiger Duke, Madam can be considered a distinguished noble lady within the noble circles of our Heaven Dou Empire. You should know how to fulfill the responsibilities of a matriarch, right?"]

[Tang Wutian's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable aura as he said flatly.]

["If Madam doesn't even know how to be a good matriarch and manage the inner courtyard, then I suppose I should also report this to the Yin Yang White Tiger Sect."]

[As soon as these words were spoken, the Duchess's heart instantly panicked.]

[Although she was the wife of the White Tiger Dukes Mansion, within the Yin Yang White Tiger Sect, she was merely the daughter of an ordinary Elder.]

[If this noble person truly complained to the Yin Yang White Tiger Sect and the Sect Master placed the blame on her, she would definitely suffer the consequences!]

[Although the Yin Yang White Tiger Sect was now one of the top Holy Land on the continent and did not fear the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.]

[Clearly, the Yin Yang White Tiger Sect would never offend the Heaven Dou Imperial Family just for the sake of an Elder's daughter like her.]

[Thinking of this, even though the Duchess harbored ten thousand grievances in her heart, she could only forcibly squeeze out a smile and quickly explained.]

["Your Highness has misunderstood!"]

["Yutong is only looking a bit weak because her mother recently fell ill, and she has been nursing her day and night by the bed, leading to overexertion."]

["As for her plain attire... that is because she has always been thrifty!"]

["However, please rest assured, from now on I will definitely not let her be so thrifty anymore, and will surely let her wear clothes worthy of her status as a concubine-born daughter of our White Tiger Dukes Mansion!"]

["That's good."]

[Tang Wutian sneered inwardly, not exposing her lie on the spot.]

[After speaking, he turned to look at Dai Yutong and asked in a gentle tone.]

["Is your mother ill? Coincidentally, among my guards, there is a Support System Spirit Master of the healing type, who can help treat your mother."]

["Your Highness, really?!"]

[Hearing this, surprise and excitement burst forth in Dai Yutong's clear eyes, her voice even carrying a trace of trembling.]

["Of course."]

[Tang Wutian smiled slightly, and immediately leading his accompanying guards, followed the eager Dai Yutong as they turned and left the Guest Reception Hall.]

[The Duchess wanted to stop them, but it was too late to speak; she could only watch helplessly as the group disappeared outside the door, her heart filled with frustration.]

[She knew that once Tang Wutian went to that firewood room, all her lies would be completely exposed!]

[Yet things having reached this point, she could only pray that Your Highness was magnanimous and wouldn't hold too much against her...]

[On the other side.]

[Dai Yutong led Tang Wutian and his group, passing through courtyards and corridors all the way, and finally arrived at the most remote corner of the Dukes Mansion.]

[A dilapidated firewood room appeared before everyone.]

[Pushing open the creaking wooden door, a heavy medicinal scent rushed toward them.]

[The indoor light was dim, the furnishings simple, and on a shaky wooden bed lay a pale-faced, haggard-looking woman.]

[She was none other than Huo Yuner.]

[Seeing her mother's weak appearance, Dai Yutong's eyes reddened again, and she quickly walked to the bedside, grasping her mother's hand.]

[Tang Wutian followed closely behind and walked in; seeing this scene, he also let out a slight sigh in his heart.]

[He turned his head to look at a tall, gentle-tempered guard behind him and said.]

["Brother Lin, your Martial Soul is the Healing Scepter, you should be able to cure this auntie, right?"]

[The guard referred to as "Brother Lin" stepped forward and nodded respectfully.]

["Your Highness, rest assured, this is simple."]

[After speaking, Brother Lin extended his right hand, and a Healing Scepter, entirely emerald green with a green gem inlaid at the top, appeared in his hand.]

[Immediately following, Spirit Rings rose sequentially from beneath his feet.]

[Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black!]

[A full seven Spirit Rings!]

[Impressively a Seven-Ring Soul Saint!]

[Seeing this, Dai Yutong couldn't help but gasp, covering her mouth.]

[This seemingly ordinary guard uncle was actually a powerhouse at the Soul Saint level!]

[Seeing Brother Lin gently wave the Healing Scepter, a soft and warm emerald-green light gushed forth from the gem at the top of the scepter, and like flowing water, gently enveloped Huo Yuner's entire body.]

[Huo Yuner's tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed under the infiltration of this healing light.]

[Her pale complexion also began to recover a trace of ruddiness at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her breathing became much more steady.]

[A moment later, Brother Lin withdrew the scepter, turned around, and said helplessly to Tang Wutian.]

["Your Highness, this Madam's body has some serious deficiencies. To completely cure her, I'm afraid it will require several days of continuous treatment supplemented with medicinal diets to fully restore her Vitality."]

[Hearing this, Dai Yutong anxiously looked at Tang Wutian, her eyes full of expectation and entreaty.]

[Tang Wutian smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone.]

["Rest assured, over the next few days I will keep coming over to help cure Auntie."]

["Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"]

[Dai Yutong was so emotional that tears were about to fall, and she bowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.]

[Over the following days, Tang Wutian indeed kept his word.]

[Every day he would arrive at this firewood room punctually, letting Brother Lin perform treatments for Huo Yuner.]

[At the same time, he also had people prepare medicinal diets infused with nourishing Soul Beast meat for Huo Yuner to consume daily, supplementing the deficiencies in her body.]

[Under several days of continuous treatment and conditioning, Huo Yuner's body got better day by day.]

[Her originally pale complexion turned rosy, her dry hair gained luster, and even her voice had much more vigor when speaking.]

[And under Tang Wutian's reprimand and pressure.]

[The Duchess no longer dared to make things difficult for Huo Yuner and Dai Yutong.]

[Not only did she have servants move Huo Yuner and Dai Yutong from that dilapidated firewood room to a normal courtyard to live in, but she also no longer dared to dock their monthly allowances.]

[Huo Yuner and Dai Yutong's lives also improved day by day.]

unrivaled tang sect, periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes could not help but be filled with envy.

Seeing that in the White World, under Tang Wutian's help, mother Huo Yuner's body gradually improved and recovered to normal.

This made him think of himself.

Back then, if that God King Tang could have let that Tang Wutong approach him and help cure his mother.

In the future, even if it meant pledging his allegiance, he would have been completely willing.

But why was he unwilling to do so, insisting on letting his mother die of illness, and instead scheming against him?

Could he not just be open, honest, and magnanimous?!
