Chapter 3424: Vessel!

Hearing Huai Hongkai's words, Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Huai Hongkai to suspect him on the spot.

Moreover, the reason for the suspicion was so logical and reasonable…

Indeed.

Huai Dahai was a powerhouse of the God Venerable Realm, and his companions should naturally be in the God Venerable Realm as well. Furthermore, while at Shijue Academy, he wouldn't easily become friends with someone in the God King Realm…

"Speak, who are you?!" Huai Hongkai spoke in a deep voice, his eyes filled with killing intent. Even though he was heavily injured, he still erupted with a powerful aura.

Huai Hongkai's Realm was the First Stage of the Heavenly King Realm, and the pressure he emitted weighed heavily on Xiao Fan's heart.

"Well… I do indeed know Huai Dahai, and I am even closer with Huai Yushu." Xiao Fan said with a chuckle, "Senior, please calm down. You can ask Huai Dahai; my name is Xiao Fan…"

"Xiao Fan?!"

Upon hearing this, Huai Hongkai's gaze instantly became sharp as he looked Xiao Fan up and down.

"You… you are Xiao Fan?!" Huai Hongkai asked in disbelief.

"Yes… that's right, I am Xiao Fan." Xiao Fan nodded. "Senior, do you know me?"

"Hehehe… After Yushu returned, he often mentioned you, saying he had taken a little brother under his wing at Shijue Academy… whose Realm was also the Seventh Stage of the God King Realm." Huai Hongkai smiled, but after the smile, there was a sadness in his eyes that was hard to hide.

"Senior, uh… what happened to Huai Yushu? What's going on?" Xiao Fan asked urgently.

"Nothing… Yushu is… Cultivating with the Old Ancestor." Huai Hongkai let out a breath and said expressionlessly.

Xiao Fan stared intently into Huai Hongkai's eyes; he could tell at a glance that the other was lying. How could Huai Yushu possibly be fine?!

If Huai Yushu were fine, why would he have sent a communication jade slip asking for help?!

If Huai Yushu were fine, why would Huai Hongkai have such an expression?!

"Senior… please tell me the truth." Xiao Fan spoke in a deep voice.

"I said Yushu is fine… Alright, you should leave." Huai Hongkai let out a breath and spoke slowly.

"Senior, don't lie to me… A few days ago, Yushu sent me a message telling me something happened to him." Xiao Fan said solemnly, directly taking out the communication jade slip and throwing it to Huai Hongkai.

Taking the communication jade slip and checking its contents, Huai Hongkai's expression turned grim. After a long silence, he let out a sigh.

"I never would have thought… Yushu would actually send you a message. He truly trusts you…"

"Senior, what exactly happened?" Xiao Fan asked urgently.

"Yushu… it's better if you don't know about this matter. Young friend, you should leave. The Huai Family's waters are too deep; you'll only bring trouble upon yourself." Huai Hongkai let out a breath and spoke slowly.

"Senior, you can tell me what happened. What I choose to do in the end is my business…" Xiao Fan said calmly.

"Young friend, if you knew the truth, you might regret it, even if you are from Shijue Academy… it's the same." Huai Hongkai said calmly, "Shijue Academy is powerful, but you are only a Disciple of Shijue Academy… Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded. "I understand, Senior. But Huai Yushu treats me as a close friend… Now that I know he's in trouble, I have no reason to ignore it."

"Even if I can't help him, I still need to know what exactly happened."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Huai Hongkai remained silent for a long while before slowly saying, "Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you…"

"Yushu… he is the Vessel for the Old Ancestor's Possession." Huai Hongkai spoke in a deep voice, hatred and tears surfacing in his eyes simultaneously.

"A Vessel? Possession?!" Hearing this, Xiao Fan's expression changed.

He instantly understood why Huai Yushu clearly had a Level 3 Godhead yet remained obscure.

Why Huai Yushu was immediately taken away by the Huai Family after arriving at Shijue Academy…

Why Huai Yushu often said the Old Ancestor treated him exceptionally well.

It turned out the Ancestor of the Huai Family was using Huai Yushu as a Vessel!

No wonder. If that were the case, everything could be explained…

"That's right, a Vessel for Possession. Yushu has a Level 3 Godhead… I think you're well aware of how rare such a Godhead is. Therefore… our Huai Family's Old Ancestor decided long ago to perform Possession on Yushu."

Huai Hongkai's expression was extremely grim.

"Previously, Yushu went to Shijue Academy… because his mother and I secretly encouraged it… hoping Shijue Academy could protect him. In the end, sigh…"

"The injuries on my body were also inflicted by the Old Ancestor…"
