Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Wei Xishi of Qingcheng Appears, First Arrival at Odi School

In Qin Ruan’s hands, there is a golden whip, her weapon of choice.

Huo Zhi and Huo Chuan had spent some time by her side, watching her wield the golden whip, using her combat power to suppress evil spirits.

It was said that when the golden whip was in her hands, it was like an extension of her body even puppets couldn’t get close.

Huo Yunjiao believed that she wouldn’t fall behind the executioners in the Punishment Hall.

Huo Yirong contemplated for a while, then agreed: "Alright, third brother, you better not stand me up, you must remember your promise to be lenient!

I’m making quite a sacrifice this time, allowing those old guys to witness, I always feel like they are having some kind of advantage over this."

Huo Yunjiao withdrew his hand from the glass, speaking calmly: "Just get it back from them later."

"Of course, when the time comes, whomever is the most arrogant will be my first target."

On this matter, his third brother was fully supportive: "That would keep them from bothering Ruanruan."

In just one moment, he had already mentioned Qin Ruan multiple times.

Huo Yirong said jokingly with a smile: "Third brother, you can’t go three sentences without mentioning Ruanruan. Have you fallen into the graveyard of love?"

Up until now, he was still unsure about his third brother’s feelings towards Qin Ruan.

Their relationship seemed quite ambiguous.

It seemed more like an elder guiding a younger one, providing hands-on guidance.

Third Brother seemed like a dedicated father, utterly worried about Qin Ruan.

An expression of surprise fleetingly appeared on Huo Yunjiao’s face; a glimmer of starlight appeared in his deep eyes, quickly fading.

He spoke with indifference: "Emotions are traceable, where people interact, various emotions will inevitably get involved. Love is a spiritual pillar for humans, it can be found in all sorts of feelings, most evidently in familial ones.

Emotion and love combined together and applied to non-kin can cause people to lose rationality.

Second Brother, we are adults, almost in our thirties, for us, what’s the value of these slow and idealistic things like romance?"

After speaking, he sighed: "Or are you hoping to see me in a frantic and desperate state?"

Huo Yirong laughed: "Indeed, isn’t Su Jingshu in that kind of frantic and desperate state? It is all due to her deep emotions towards Nangong Chang."

He couldn’t argue against his third brother as there was a precedent.

The Su Family is currently in a quiet state. Su Jingshu hasn’t left the Su estate for almost a month.

All of this emotional and body injury, just for a Nangong Chang.

Third Master Huo disagreed with his words: "In an aristocratic family, love between man and woman is unattainable. Under all interests, it will become fragile.

If Su Jingshu truly loved Nangong Chang, she would not have allowed him to dwell under the temptations of debauchery, constantly entangled with other women while stringing her along.

It is not that she can’t bear the torment, but rather that she isn’t as infatuated with Nangong Chang as she thought. The silence of Miss Su should not be taken as she will always be in a trough.

When her psychological barrier is broken and the time is right, she will rise to the pinnacle again. She would not give up the glory provided to her by the Su family.’

Huo Yunjiao made a compelling argument, leaving Second Master Huo speechless for quite a while.

When it comes to ruthlessness, no one in the Huo family can match Third Master Huo.

Huo Yirong asked: "And what about you, third brother?"

"What?"

"You treat Ruanruan so well, even wanting to leave the Punishment Hall to her, surely it’s because you like her?"

"I like."

Regarding his like for Qin Ruan, the Third Master Huo did not hesitate to admit.

His brows moved slightly, eyes glittering, a smile like a spring breeze spread across his face.

"Ruanruan knows her place and is very young at heart. With her company in the next ten years, life won’t be too dull. She is quite likable."

"Alright, as long as you’re happy."

Huo Yirong compromised.

He could almost understand as well.

While there was no love from his third brother to Qin Ruan, there was definitely affection.

A person without a future, who is doomed to one day disappear, why would they take a liking to someone who will remain in the world?

Their third brother always valued rationality over sentiments.

Huo Yirong sighed quietly on the other end of the phone, "With Ruanruan by your side, we all will be grateful to her."

Out of gratitude, they would naturally not add insult to injury.

No one knows what the future will bring.

As long as Qin Ruan is in the Huo family, he will protect her.

Huo Yunjiao understood, a faint smile on his lips: "Ruanruan is good, second brother, she won’t let you down."

Huo Yirong chuckled, "But we’re hoping more that she can bring about a miracle."

Third Master Huo remained silent, his smile fading.

Where would a miracle come from, it was only wishful thinking.

His peach blossom eyes drooped slightly, and a bitter smile tugged at the corner of his lips. The suppressed urge to cough made it impossible for him to hope for a miracle.

The call went on.

After a long while, Huo Yunjiao’s voice sounded somewhat hoarse, "You should rest early."

"I know, you should also go to sleep early."

"Hmm——"

The call ended, and Huo Yunjiao stared blankly at the night scene outside the window, his cool, composed face becoming expressionless.

His figure appeared lonely with an air of heaviness surrounding him.

...

Late at night, Odi School.

A broad-shouldered man with long legs, wearing a trench coat and boots, stood outside the school.

He held a briefcase in his hand, looking up at the hundred-year-old school in front of him.

The young man behind him, as the cold wind blew, subconsciously rubbed his arms where goosebumps had formed on his skin.

He approached the man standing in front of him and spoke softly, "Boss, this place is downright creepy, I’ve goosebumps all over."

The man in the trench coat turned around, revealing a cultured and refined countenance.

He exuded an air of scholarly elegance, like a gentle and refined scholar.

His demeanor was ethereal, as if untouched by the mortal world, his eyes seemingly capable of containing everything in the world.

This man was none other than Wei Xishi from the WeChat group [Emperor Beitai on Top].

Under the illumination of the street lamp at the school entrance, Wei Xishi’s light lips slightly lifted, "The Evil Qi is dense, it’s hard to predict if we’ll live or die on this trip."

The young man behind him, Wei Xishi’s assistant, turned pale at his words, "Boss, don’t scare me."

Wei Xishi glanced back at him, his eyes full of amusement, "Afraid?"

The assistant’s figure slightly shivered, "Of course I’m scared."

Wei Xishi lightly patted his head, soothingly, "Don’t be afraid, Liuliu, I’m with you."

Liuliu, who had already seen through him, wore a face full of resentment, "Stop saying that."

Wei Xishi smiled, "What, you don’t want me to collect your body?"

"No!" Liuliu shook his head firmly, "I hope you can take me out alive."

"That’s seemingly difficult this time."

Wei Xishi turned his head, looking once again at Odi School, shrouded in dense, eerie Evil Qi.

The faint smile in his eyes disappeared, his expression becoming solemn and cautious.

Just then, three people, two men and a woman, emerged from Odi School.

They were wearing heavy cotton clothes and overcoats, which seemed strange as it was only autumn.

The three people headed straight for Wei Xishi and his assistant.

"Master Wei, you’ve finally arrived!"

The middle-aged man in the lead charged up to Wei Xishi and grabbed his hand without letting go.

"Speak up, no need to be so physical."

Wei Xishi coldly shook off the man’s hand.

The grinning middle-aged man didn’t dare to harbor any displeasure.

He scratched his head, mumbling an explanation, "Ah! I was just scared. Seeing you is like seeing a lifeline, I totally forgot about your germophobia."

"No worries." Wei Xishi replied coldly.

While the two were talking, a man and woman from behind the middle-aged man approached them.

Wei Xishi nodded slightly in their direction.

He turned his gaze back to the middle-aged man in front of him, "Mr. Liu, why don’t we talk and walk?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Mr. Liu, the principal of Odi School, extended his hand to invite Wei Xishi and his assistant Liuliu, "Our accommodation is arranged and ready, let’s talk while walking."

Wei Xishi handed his briefcase to Liuliu.

The latter took it, both of them following Mr. Liu’s steps, and officially entered Odi School.

Standing outside the school gate, the cold atmosphere was not too overwhelming, at the most it made one feel chilly.

However, once inside Odi School, the eerie chill was enough to seep into one’s bones.

The school roads cast a dim yellow light, on the left-hand side was a not so dense grove of small trees.

With a gust of wind, the leaves rustled.

As Wei Xishi walked on the school path, his normally indifferent eyes held a careful scrutiny.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that something in the darkness was watching them.
