Chapter 254: Chapter 254: The Third Master Has Been Back Home For A Long Time, It’s About Time He Showed Up

The people standing at the library entrance were angry but couldn’t express it.

They were no match for Huo Zhi and the Huo Family’s hidden guards.

"Huo Zhi?"

Just then, a questioning and familiar voice reached Huo Zhi’s ear.

She looked up to see a tall figure appearing at the library entrance.

Huo Zhi took two steps forward and bowed slightly, "Master Long."

Long Xinzhao was from one of the four great families, the Long Family. His sister marrying into the Huo family didn’t make him Huo Zhi’s master.

Still, it was customary to greet him respectfully whenever they met.

Long Xinzhao scanned the hidden guards behind her.

From their stern faces, the evil Qi intentionally exuded, and the almost unanimous lack of expression, he knew clearly that these were the Huo Family’s hidden guards.

His brother-in-law also had them around him all the time.

Every time he saw them, Long Xinzhao felt they were emotionless robots.

"Senior, do you know her?" A male student next to him, aware of Long Xinzhao’s status, eagerly asked.

This person privately thought that as the Long Family was one of the four great families with influence, they could help solve their problem.

They speculated the appearance of Huo Zhi and the others might be related to Lili and Li Xiao.

If they crossed paths with Long Xinzhao, they would certainly retreat.

Long Xinzhao, very professional, slightly bowed to the unfamiliar student.

He turned to Huo Zhi and asked, "What happened?"

"We received orders from the master, no one is allowed to leave the library."

Huo Zhi’s answer was straightforward.

However, it made Long Xinzhao’s expression change slightly.

He knew all three leaders of the Huo Family’s hidden guards: Huo Qiang, Huo Chuan, and Huo Zhi.

The old Mr. Huo and Huo Hongxing were not in charge of the family affairs anymore. The ones Huo Zhi could call ’ masters’ were only his brother-in-law, the second and third masters.

Long Xinzhao knew that he didn’t need to ask further.

There were some matters he couldn’t inquire about.

Gently, Long Xinzhao told the others who were trying to leave for the clinic, "You guys can wait a bit, and it probably won’t take too long. There should be medical students inside who can check your injuries first."

Finishing his words, he didn’t wait for a response and turned around to enter the library.

Those who were waiting for him to deal with Huo Zhi and her companions were utterly stunned.

"Xinzhao, what’s going on outside?"

A girl looking like a porcelain doll came over to ask.

She was Gu Qingqing, a member of the Gu Family, one of the four great families.

Long Xinzhao shook his head at her, "I’m not sure what happened, but we’re not allowed to go out for now."

"What’s the matter?" Gu Qingqing frowned, her expression not very good.

"There are people from the Huo Family outside."

Long Xinzhao bypassed her, took a seat at the nearest table, looking relaxed and casual.

The seat he chose was Qin Ruan’s earlier spot.

On the table lay the books that Qin Ruan was reading.

Long Xinzhao picked up a book and closed it, then glanced at the title.

This glance made him subtly raise an eyebrow.

"Pregnancy Encyclopedia".

He then flipped through the other books set aside, all of them were related to pregnancy.

If you’re not in the relevant field, you wouldn’t read these kinds of books.

Long Xinzhao knew Qin Ruan was the last one to sit here.

He remembered that Qin Ruan was neither a medical student nor was she studying a subject related to these books.

So, the question was, why would a freshman like Qin Ruan be reading these books?

Long Xinzhao stroked the book in his hand, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

Gu Qingqing sat opposite him, her previous aggressive demeanor receding.

She stared at Long Xinzhao with a full smile, "Did people from the Huo Family come to our school? Who came, and did anything happen? Did the Third Master come?"

"What are you thinking about? The Third Master hasn’t been in the country for very long because of his bad health," Long Xinzhao replied without lifting his head.

It was well known that the Third Master of the Huo Family was sickly and rarely showed up in public.

The sudden appearance of Huo Zhi at Shengshi Academy today was already surprising enough for him.

Gu Qingqing still hoping for the Third Master to come was absurd.

Aside from the Third Master’s health not allowing him to be busy, even if he was in good health, who in Shengshi Academy could warrant his personal visit?

In his heart, Long Xinzhao guessed that it was probably due to the recent actions of the school board that Huo Zhi and the others were dispatched.

Apart from the recent turmoil in the board, he could not find any other reason.

The Second Master managing the HEA Group and dealing with various major families, also the recent unrest of the Su Family, would inevitably keep him very busy.

His brother-in-law was always busy working with the President.

If there was an issue in the school, it would only be handled by the subordinates.

Gu Qingqing didn’t ponder much, she propped her chin on hands, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"The Third Master has been back in the country for quite some time now, he should show up."

Long Xinzhao looked up and gave her a light look.

"Stop talking about the Third Master all the time, as if you’re afraid people won’t know what you’re thinking."

"What could I be thinking about?" Gu Qingqing look embarrassed.

Long Xinzhao didn’t hesitate to reveal her intentions, "You’re aiming to be Madam Huo the Third."

Gu Qingqing unapologetically said, "Among all the families in the Capital City, which one with a daughter doesn’t aim for the position of Madam Huo the Third? What’s wrong with me having the same thought? The Third Master is so good-looking after all."

Long Xinzhao gazed at her deeply for a moment, choosing not say anything else.

Because she was absolutely right.

Which family of noble descent, or even those below, doesn’t aim to marry their daughters or granddaughters into the Huo Family?

Even if not the Third Master, marrying the Second Master would do as well.

The Huo Family’s current status doesn’t require marriages of alliance anymore.

It’s well known that the engagement between the Second Master, and Su Jingshu was a stroke of luck for the Su Family.

The Su Family owed some favors to old Mr. Huo, which led to the alliance between the two families. Unfortunately, it didn’t end up successful.

Suddenly, Gu Qingqing exclaimed, "Eh? Whose books are these? Why are all of them about pregnancy?"

The book before Long Xinzhao closed it, as the title "Pregnancy Encyclopedia" revealed in big letters, clearly caught her eyes.

"Qin Ruan and Ling Xiaoxuan."

Gu Qingqing was surprised, "What are they doing with these? Don’t tell me Qin Ruan is actually involved with Lu Yichen?"

Long Xinzhao gave her a glance, wondering if her brain was filled with water.

"Yichen is with us almost every day, when have you ever seen him get close to Qin Ruan?"

"Well, could it be Ling Xiaoxuan?"

Mentioning her, Gu Qingqing’s floodgates opened, "Did I tell you that Ling Xiaoxuan recently broke off an engagement? Did you know?"

Long Xinzhao wouldn’t know this, he generally didn’t pay attention to such matters.

"I heard her previous fiancé died, she’s been making a fuss these days."

"How do you know so much about this?"

"Is there anything happening in the great families or noble families that I wouldn’t know about? Even a whisper of the wind or a blade of grass moving, we’d know."

"We?"

"Even if I tell you, you won’t understand. Stay out of women’s affairs."

"Hmm...." Long Xinzhao gave her an obligatory smile.

Gu Qingqing’s gaze returned to the "Pregnancy Encyclopedia", "Do you think someone’s pregnant? Qin Ruan or Ling Xiaoxuan maybe? Why else would they be reading these kinds of books?"

"Maybe they’re writing a course summary report."

Having organized the books, Long Xinzhao stood up to leave, offering no more words.
