Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Big Brother Huo: As long as I’m here, nothing will happen to my younger siblings

Nangong Chang is a madman, and quite a twisted one at that.

If you cross him, it’s like sticking on a dog skin plaster - very difficult to remove.

Huo Yunjiao straightened her clothes and said to her stupefied second cousin, "I just spoke with Nangong Yunlong. They won’t let this matter lay to rest so easily this time."

Huo Yirong’s gaze slightly narrowed, his expression solemn.

"What do you mean, brother?"

Huo Yunjiao turned to face her cousin, "Help the Lu Family rise to power, and sever Nangong Family’s wings ahead of time."

His cold voice was imbued with a blood-thirstiness, evoking a chilling ruthlessness.

Although his tone was as flat as ever, one could still sense the dangerous aura of hostility.

Huo Yirong’s expression faltered slightly, and he asked, "Is this for our younger sister?"

Huo Yunjiao replied unexpectedly, "The Nangong Family becomes increasingly reckless. The Su Family and Xiao Family in Capital City can no longer satisfy their appetite. They have now started to hook up with the Yin Yang Sect and the Witch Clan.

If we continue to let them expand unrestricted, it is bound to provoke the wrath of other families. The wings of the Nangong Family need to be severed as soon as possible."

Huo Yirong could discern a hint of slaughter in his brother’s tone, and he could sense that this matter was somehow related to Qin Ruan.

He smirked, "Apart from the Su Family and Xiao Family, do you consider the rest of the rabble to be the wings of the Nangong Family? Aren’t you overestimating them?"

Huo Yunjiao spoke solemnly, "This matter isn’t easy to solve. Now that the Witch Clan has joined in, we are likely to be on the passive side. I need to talk to our grandfather in person."

The Witch Clan is the biggest hidden danger.

Huo Yirong: "Are you suggesting we should act ahead of time?"

"Yes."

Huo Yunjiao, having changed her clothes, called out to the outside of the door, "Huo Chuan, come in and pack up."

Huo Chuan entered immediately and swiftly began packing.

Huo Yunjiao walked up to Huo Yirong, his slender fingers adjusting his sleeves, and thin lips slowly opening.

"We should also take Huo Zhi with us. Ruanruan will make a fuss if she can’t see her."

"Ruanruan making a fuss?" Huo Yirong’s lip corners twitched.

The Qin Ruan he knew was well-behaved and sensible, and she had never thrown tantrums.

He didn’t know how to respond to his brother’s statement.

Huo Yunjiao’s thin lips rose into a gentle curve, his tone doting.

"You don’t understand Ruanruan. She can be a handful, although she seems to stay silent, she has quite a temper."

Huo Yirong raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"She injured Nangong Chang, but up until now, did she call me?"

Huo Yirong hesitated, "Perhaps she notified Big Brother first?"

Huo Yunjiao shook his head, "Unlikely, she’s not familiar with Big Brother. The chances of her calling are slim."

"I’ll ask."

Huo Yirong found it hard to believe.

He took out his phone and dialed his big brother, Huo Junxin.

Huo Yunjiao stood in front of him, looking calm and relaxed, a quiet light in his eyes.

He let out a soft chuckle, "The probability of Ruanruan calling Big Brother is probably less than one percent."

One should never speak with absolute certainty. He said this to leave room for error, preserving a less than one percent possibility.

Huo Yirong’s face revealed a complex expression, a sense of defeat lurking in his eyes.

"If that’s the case, it means that Ruanruan still hasn’t trusted us completely."

Huo Yunjiao was well aware of this.

Though Qin Ruan’s nature wasn’t totally clear to him. She seemed simple, yet there were times when she baffled him.

Take how Qin Ruan was sometimes friendly with him, and sometimes distant, for example. He still hadn’t figured it out.

"Yirong?"

As the call connected, Huo Junxin’s authoritative voice came.

Hearing the flat tone of the other party, Huo Yirong had some misgivings in his heart.

If he knew that Qin Ruan had injured Nangong Chang, his tone would not be this calm.

"Big brother, it’s me."

Huo Yirong looked up at Huo Yunjiao standing in front of him.

Spotting a smile in Huo Yunjiao’s eyes, he asked directly, "Big brother, has younger sister called you?"

"No, has something happened?"

The moment Huo Junxin heard Yirong’s question, he sensed something was amiss.

"She injured Nangong Chang, and Yunjiao is rushing back to the country."

"How is Ruanruan doing? Is anything wrong with her?"

Huo Junxin didn’t inquire about Nangong Chang’s condition, but was concerned about Qin Ruan first.

One has to admit, the priority within the Huo family was unanimously on Yongxin.

Huo Yirong pursed his lips, "Ruanruan is fine, but it seems like the Nangong Family won’t let this pass."

"I’ve finished my business here and am returning home."

Huo Junxin’s voice came along with the sound of packing, he admonished in a deep voice, "You take care of Yunjiao. With me around, Ruanruan won’t face any trouble."

Huo Yirong: "Understood."

Immediately after, big brother Huo’s inquiring voice was heard again, "Are you returning home this time?"

"Yes, Grandfather has given his consent."

"How did he give his consent?"

"Through the Punishment Hall."

After hearing these words, Huo Junxin remained silent for a while.

"Good luck."

Big brother Huo sent his younger brother this message before quickly hanging up the phone.

Huo Yirong’s lips twitched as he stared at the ended call in silence for a long time.

He complained to Yunjiao, "Is this really our big brother? He didn’t even utter a word of comfort, just a ’good luck’?"

Huo Yunjiao’s lips curved up, his eyes filled with a touch of mockery.

"What do you want Big Brother to say, plead for you with Grandfather? No one can influence Grandfather’s decision."

"At least some basic comfort should be there."

Huo Yirong is indignant.

He put away his phone, noticing that Huo Chuan in his room had finished packing.

This guy sure is efficient.

Huo Yunjiao walked up to his cousin, giving his shoulder a comforting pat.

He assured him, "Don’t worry, I’ll plead for you in front of Grandfather."

"Really?"

"Trust me."

Huo Yunjiao, grinning, looked at him, "I promise you an unforgettable experience that will ensure you never dare to offend again."

Huo Yirong burst out laughing, "You clearly think that Grandfather is not harsh enough on me!"

He knew it. The usually stern Yunjiao, why is she so tolerant today?

It turns out she was waiting for this moment.

Huo Yirong playfully pounded Yunjiao’s chest, considering her health, the hit was not heavy.

"Alright, I will go pack up my things and arrange for a physician to accompany us. Huo Zhi’s condition is very critical. If something really happens on the way, there’s no way for you and Ruanruan to explain."

"You arrange it, we will leave before noon."

"Got it--"

...

Capital City, Huo Residence.

After Qin Ruan returned home, everything went as usual.

Although she seemed calm and collected, the first thing she asked Lin Hao to do was send Qin Mei back to the Qin Family.

"I’m not going back!"

Qin Mei sat on the sofa in the living room, hugging Xueqiu fiercely.

If he left at this point, leaving everything to his younger sister, he would seem like a coward however one looked at it.

Qin Ruan spoke gently, "Second brother, you should go back first. This matter has nothing to do with you."

"How does it have nothing to do with me? If it weren’t for Xueqiu scratching Nangong Chang, none of the subsequent events would have occurred. Ultimately, it is still a mess caused by me."

Qin Mei was clear on the cause of the incident, it all started with him.

There is no way he was leaving now.
