Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Ruanruan Made a Mistake, She Won’t be Sent to the Punishment Hall

Huo Yirong raised an eyebrow, his expression defiant: "The Huo family has nurtured him for over a decade, why should we hand him over to those mentally twisted and distorted people, and let them torment him?!

I don’t agree with the idea of returning Huo Zhi to the Witch Clan. I understand our grandfather’s thinking, handing over Huo Zhi to the witches is a warning for them, and also serves to deter the Witch Clan.

It surely is the most direct way, but once Huo Zhi returns to the Witch Clan, the danger she might face in the future is unimaginable.

Considering the actions of her father, I guarantee that within three months, Little Zhizi would completely disappear from the Witch Clan."

The so-called "disappearance" is nothing more than death.

Huo Yunjiao gently shook his head, disagreeing: "The old man’s thoughts are hard to fathom."

He doesn’t believe right now that our grandfather truly wants Huo Zhi to return to the Witch Clan to meet her doom.

He could not yet guess at the real purpose behind this, but it definitely is not as simple as it seems.

Huo Yirong said casually: "Whether it’s true or not, Huo Zhi has completely severed ties with the Witch Clan now."

Huo Yunjiao smirked: "Second brother, everyone says you’re a ruthless schemer, who never lets anyone wrong you without retaliation. I think you’re the kindest one in our family."

"Don’t! Please, don’t flatter me, I can’t take it!"

Huo Yirong wore a look of mock terror, acting as though he was frightened.

Huo Yunjiao could not conceal his amusement, genuinely believing in what he said.

You see, when I learned that Huo Zhi was to be returned to the Witch Clan, I already wrote her off as a lost cause.

Given Huo Zhi’s awkward position, she would be expendable. As soon as she was needed, she would be thrown out without hesitation.

Qin Ruan is kind-hearted, knowing that Huo Zhi might not return, she became despondent.

In order to cheer her up, I promised her that I would keep Huo Zhi alive.

If Huo Zhi were to return to the Witch Clan, it would surely lead to her death.

Life or death; it hangs on the whim of the Huo family.

Thanks to Qing Ruan’s favorable treatment of Huo Zhi and Huo Yirong’s changed intentions due to Huo Zhi’s actions, the original plan was altered.

You can only say that Huo Zhi has been very lucky; her life was not meant to be snuffed out quite yet.

Footsteps echoed from upstairs.

Huo Yirong and Huo Yunjiao looked up simultaneously.

They saw Huo Chuan walking quickly toward them, his hand holding a mobile phone.

"Second master, third master, the eldest master is calling."

Huo Chuan walked briskly over to the two of them and extended the phone to them.

Huo Yunjiao’s deep eyes flashed as he picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

"Grandfather?"

"Jiaojiao, how are you recently, are you feeling unwell, when are you planning to come back?"

The first thing the old master did was to ask after Huo Yunjiao’s well-being.

On the side, Huo Yirong turned up his nose with annoyance.

The old man’s favoritism knew no bounds.

As long as it concerned the third brother, he always put him first.

Huo Yunjiao’s faint smile showed in his eyes: "I’m doing well, how about you?"

The old master was still miffed: "I was doing well except for a troublemaker in the family causing problems."

Huo Yunjiao glanced at Huo Yirong who was on the edge of his seat listening, his expression tense.

He asked tentatively: "Grandfather, what’s your view on this?"

"What can I think? We have a troublemaker in the family, who can’t even step out of the door without catching someone’s eye. If people didn’t know better, they might think I was raising a granddaughter. Though she might be a failure, we have to protect her, better than letting her embarrass us out in public."

The old master’s words were one of resigned lament.

However, Huo Yunjiao could tell from the conversation, his grandfather’s attitude towards the incident involving his second brother and the Witch Clan.

His chilly demeanor softened, his tone teasing: "Grandfather, given second brother’s delicate beauty, maybe we should reconsider letting him go out in the future to save him from unwanted attention."

The old master heartily agreed: "That’s true, that’s what I think."

"..." Huo Yirong, who was eavesdropping on the side, was rendered speechless.

His handsome face tightened and he blushed in embarrassment and anger.

His brother and grandfather were making fun of him.

He was delicate and beautiful?

Huo Yirong lifted his eyes, his gaze flashing over his third brother’s charming and almost alluring face with a half-smirk dancing on his mouth, the mysterious power in his enchanting eyes was enough to mesmerize people’s hearts.

Despite his seemingly modest and gracious manner, brimming with a distinguished and noble air, the third master was fundamentally indifferent and aloof.

Yet, it is this third master of the Huo family who has enchanted countless beauties in the Capital City.

If anyone claimed that he was the second most handsome man, no one in the Capital City would dare to claim the title of the first.

"Is that brat by your side?"

The old master spoke with certainty, his voice reaching both Huo Yunjiao and Huo Yirong through the phone.

"Mm."

The third master answered lightly.

The old master then said: "Yirong didn’t go overboard this time, but he made a fatal mistake in not giving us a heads-up beforehand, leaving us in a passive position.

When he gets back, let him go to the Punishment Hall on his own, and we won’t hold him accountable for anything else."

From his tone, it seemed as if making a trip to the Punishment Hall was letting Huo Yirong off lightly.

Huo Yirong was immediately not okay with it.

He snatched the phone from Huo Yunjiao and wailed into it: "Grandfather, am I still your biological grandson? If I go into the Punishment Hall, am I going to come out alive?!"

"You are my grandson, but Jiaojiao is my dearest one."

The old man was haughty and petulant, just like a child.

Huo Yirong’s face turned serious, catching the seriousness in the old man’s tone: "Grandfather, so I really have to go?"

"You must go!"

The old master was firm in his decision.

"The rules of the Huo family must be followed. When did it become his place to kill people without permission?"

"I..."

"Yirong, I don’t want to hear your excuses, we can disregard the other matters, but not this one."

After the old master finished speaking, he directly hung up the phone.

The beeping tone sounded in his ear, leaving Huo Yirong in a daze.

He blinked, turning his helpless gaze towards Huo Yunjiao who was standing next to him.

The latter spread his hands, his face bearing a teasing expression.

"Second brother, I look forward to your visit to my Punishment Hall when we return."

As the master of the Hidden Department, Huo Yirong had the authority to command, but the true master was only the third master himself.

The Punishment Hall was under his direct control, with everyone in the Punishment Hall being his people and Huo Chuan being supervisor.

Whenever anyone enters the Punishment Hall, Huo Yunjiao and Huo Chuan are the first to be notified, even if the old master of the family throws someone in, he has to inform them first.

Those members of the Huo family who misconducted themselves would be sent to the Punishment Hall for punishment.

Anyone who entered would be lucky to escape with their lives.

The terrifying degree of the Punishment Hall can’t be overstated.

Huo Yirong handed the phone to Huo Yunjiao, asking expectantly: "Third brother, can you be lenient?"

Huo Yunjiao narrowed his eyes, refusing without mercy: "No. In my place, anyone who enters the Punishment Hall will find there’s no room for leniency."

"What if one day, the younger sister commits a mistake and is sent to the Punishment Hall?"

This hypothetical question caused the third master to frown.

After considering it, he shook his head to Huo Yirong: "That day will never come."

"You can’t ensure she won’t make a mistake in the Huo family." Huo Yirong argued back.

He just wanted to know if, in such a situation, the third master would still maintain this attitude when Qin Ruan made a mistake.

"If that day ever comes, I won’t let her enter the Punishment Hall either."

The third master’s voice was deep, firm in his conviction.
