Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 512: Third Young Master: You treat her just like a sister?

Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Third Young Master: You treat her just like a sister?

Upon seeing the murderous glint in Huo Yirong’s eyes, Huo Yunjiao whispered, "As long as she is safe and sound, Ruanruan would be relieved. Ruanruan quite adores her."

Huo Yirong appeared weary, with his brows deeply furrowed.

"She would need to rest and recover. It will not be until half a year later that her health will return to its peak."

These tumultuous days could be considered the most harrowing in his life.

This frustration fuelled a fury in him that desired to wipe out Witch Clan completely.

"Do you think our grandfather would believe us?"

Huo Yunjiao’s eyes were devoid of emotions as she retorted: "What do you think?"

A bitter smile appeared on Huo Yirong’s face "Our old man is too sharp-eyed, it’s hard to pull the wool over his eyes."

Fundamentally, he did not believe their grandfather would take their side.

Huo Yunjiao gently nodded: "Whether our grandfather believes us or not, we just need to send the video to him.

Huo Family has always prioritized its own members. As for the rest, it is up to our grandfather to negotiate with the Witch Clan as it was he who signed the pact initially."

"It was almost thirty years ago, wasn’t it?" A ruthless glint appeared in Huo Yirong’s eyes, "I’ve yet to understand why our grandfather had agreed to such a pact with the Witch Clan."

Huo Yunjiao pondered before giving him an exact timeline: "Twenty-nine years."

"So it was a pact signed before we were even born. I wonder what happened back then that led our grandfather to sign such a pact with the Witch Clan. Unless it was of paramount importance, he would not have done so."

Huo Yunjiao shrugged: "Unless grandfather says something, we won’t be able to tell."

The pact that Huo Family signed with the Witch Clan is something that everyone in Huo Family knows about.

Regarding the pact, not even three generations of the Huo family know its details.

Suddenly, several doctors in white coats entered from the entrance. Huo Qiang approached and guided them upstairs to tend to Huo Zhi’s wounds.

While passing by Huo Yunjiao and Huo Yirong, they paused in their hurried steps.

"Second Master, Third Master."

Huo Yunjiao, her expression cold, said to them, "Huo Zhi’s injuries are severe this time. Do use the special medicine developed by Walton Hospital if necessary."

"We will do so."

"Go take a look."

"Yes, Third Master—"

The group quickly headed upstairs.

Watching their retreating figures, a cold and bloodthirsty light flickered in Huo Yirong’s eyes.

"Even the fiercest tiger wouldn’t devour its cub, how could Huo Zhi’s father be so unfeeling?"

This time, the person ultimately responsible for Huo Zhi’s predicament was none other than her biological father.

Huo Yunjiao was indifferent, saying coldly, "Sometimes, familial love seems insignificant in front of personal gains."

Huo Yirong scoffed, "We should say people of the Witch Clan are all self-righteous. They only see their own interests.

If it weren’t for the Huo family’s protection, they would have been expelled to remote villages by the Mysterious Studies World long ago. They don’t feel grateful at all but have even plotted against the Huo Family. They are the ones who don’t know their place!"

Huo Yunjiao nodded in agreement.

What the Witch Clan had done this time crossed the line.

Touching the flawless Buddha Beads on her wrist, she said lightly, "With this incident, Huo Zhi’s final attachments to the Witch Clan have been severed. She no longer belongs to the Witch Clan."

"Since she is one of the Huo family, we must protect her. After all, there are many years of ties between us."

At these words, Huo Yunjiao’s gaze flickered slightly.

She glanced sideways at Huo Yirong standing next to her, "Second Brother, you really don’t have any feelings for her?"

"..."

Huo Yirong’s face twisted momentarily, "I regard her as my sister!"

"A sister?" Huo Yunjiao raised an eyebrow and said teasingly, "That’s why you keep throwing her into the Punishment Hall, administering corporal punishments at intervals? Is this how you treat someone as your sister?"

Huo Yirong massaged his temples, his handsome face betraying his helplessness.

"Third Brother, you don’t understand. I have already shown her enough mercy. If it weren’t for her, would I be in such dire straits!"

Speaking of this matter, the Second Master Huo seemed full of rage.

Huo Yunjiao already knew what had transpired.

In the video that they had just sent to their grandfather, the story that the Second Brother and Huo Zhi had told was partly fabricated.

The real origin of the incident was because of Huo Zhi.

Indeed, the Witch Clan woman set her sights on Huo Yirong and the Clan Elder resorted to abhorrent methods.

Huo Yirong had killed, but not because they had used the Witch Clan’s secret medicine. It was because of Huo Zhi.

Huo Zhi was a spy that the Witch Clan had planted in the Huo Family.

Despite her young age, she was insightful. From the day she entered the Huo Family, she had confessed her identity to the Family Head – the elderly Huo.

Even if Huo Zhi didn’t confess, the Huo Family would still know who the spies were.

It was because of Huo Zhi’s honesty that she was able to live her life till now.

Over the years, the people of the Huo Family had been fairly good to her.

Although they were strict with her most of the time, they would help her during critical moments.

The Huo Family had never taken the lives of any of its hidden guards, as long as they did not betray the family.

Huo Zhi, who had been raised from a young age as the leader of the hidden guards, had suffered a lot on this path.

Because of her complicated identity, she had been subjected to various stringent tests and checks by the Huo family. They needed to ascertain that her loyalty to her biological father, who had sent her to the Huo family, and the entire Witch Clan was built upon hatred.

From a young age, Huo Zhi had witnessed how her biological father had used her mother’s body to create poisonous gu.

The Witch Clan was merciless, and they needed human subjects to experiment with the gu they created.

Before she was taken in by the Huo Family, Huo Zhi had lived each day listening to her mother’s anguished screams.

In the end, her mother could no longer bear the inhuman torture and chose to end her own life.

A young Huo Zhi was a bit twisted, she wasn’t like the ordinary kids.

It was her brothers and sisters from the Huo family who reintegrated her into a normal life.

Huo Yirong took Huo Zhi to the Witch Clan to show them a clear stance from the Huo Family.

Especially towards Huo Zhi’s father, the Clan Elder of the Witch Tribe.

The person that Huo Yirong killed was Huo Zhi’s father.

The saying goes that even the most ferocious tiger will not eat its cubs, but Huo Zhi’s father was willing to offer his daughter in exchange for the power of the Witch Clan woman’s male companion.

When Huo Yirong was affected by the secret medicine of the Witch Clan, they had kidnapped Huo Zhi and sent her to the chosen male companion.

By the time Huo Yirong discovered this, it was already too late.

Huo Zhi had been brutally tortured and was now covered in wounds.

While she was able to preserve her chastity, her physical injuries were horrible, and she almost had a gu planted in her.

The people of the Witch Clan were a group of twisted individuals that enjoyed tormenting others.

Thankfully, because of this, Huo Zhi had been spared the desecration.

Huo Yirong rushed to save Huo Zhi, then killed her father right after.

He had a ruthless heart and in front of Huo Zhi, he butchered that beast.

From beginning to end, Huo Zhi had not looked at that man even once.

Recalling all the hardships the Second brother and Huo Zhi had undergone, a fleeting struggle crossed Huo Yunjiao’s cold face.

The fact that the Second brother had broken his precept for Huo Zhi was something hard to ignore even if one wishes to.

If Huo Yirong denied it, then it meant that this was a baseless claim.

The people of the Huo family have always been responsible for their actions.

If he did have feelings for Huo Zhi, he would not deny it.

Huo Yunjiao took a moment to ponder before asking Huo Yirong, "Second Brother, did you do this because you wanted to separate Huo Zhi from the Witch Clan, to sever the last ties between them?"
