Chapter 271
How could he be here?!
Huo Lian walked in unhurriedly, the Hidden Dragon Fan in his hand signaling his identity.
Why does Huo Lian have free time to come to the clan school? It’s known that although the Huo Family is nominally managed by the Elder Huo, in reality, most of the power has already been transferred to Huo Lian. Even now, if the Elder Huo has any decision to make, he might have to consult his dear eldest son.
Not to mention, Huo Lian is the successor appointed by the Huo Family’s grand elder. What status does the grand elder hold? He was the one who single-handedly established the entire business enterprise of the Huo Family and helped the current emperor ascend the throne.
Now, at almost four hundred years old, the grand elder can basically say that he only recognizes Huo Lian among the new generation of the Huo Family...
Zheng Tuo’s eyes dazzled as he gazed at Huo Lian, imagining himself becoming someone so excellent, so free-spirited, so handsome...
Wait a minute, a guest? Who here could possibly be Huo Lian’s guest?
In this place, aside from the clan school’s students, there are only members of the Huo Family. Who exactly is the guest Huo Lian is referring to?
Some turned their gaze in shock towards the eight-year-old Chen Changgui.
Could it be... Could it really be him?!
How is that possible?!
Even his own father couldn’t be recognized as a guest by Huo Lian, so how could a mere child be qualified?!
Right, this Chen Changgui used connections to get in, and immediately entered the top class... Could it be arranged personally by Huo Lian?!
Even when members of the Huo Family entered the clan school, Huo Lian hardly seemed to pay much attention!
Huo’s second master was shocked at this time. By the process of elimination, he could only deduce that the young boy before him was the guest referred to by Huo Lian.
But he couldn’t make sense of it. How had he become Huo Lian’s guest? Could it be just because he had a Spirit Root? Could the child be a legendary cultivation prodigy? He didn’t look like it! And if he truly were a cultivation prodigy, it wouldn’t have been up to the Huo Family, he would have been opened away by those various Sects ages ago...
Right, didn’t he claim to be from the Qian Ding Sect? How could such an obscure little Sect produce a cultivation prodigy? Even if one existed, the Immortal Cultivation World would have quickly spread word of it, and eventually, it would be scooped up by larger Sects!
So that possibility could be ruled out... Then what was his qualification?!
The second master’s mind was a storm of thoughts, his body frozen, unsure of what action to take, as he stood petrified in place.
Huo Huan was still baffled: "Brother, what are you talking about? A guest? Where?"
His sister’s face didn’t look so good. Evidently, this sister was smarter than the brother. She tugged on her brother’s clothes, signaling him not to speak recklessly.
Huo Huan still scratched his head in confusion but was particularly obedient to his sister’s words.
Changgui didn’t care about these matters; he simply pulled Huo Ting to stand before Huo Lian and pointed at Huo Huan’s sister: "Uncle Huo Lian, they accused Huo Ting of stealing, demanding that Huo Ting kneel and apologize to her. What nonsense is that? Clearly, she discarded the Fasting Pill herself, and Huo Ting merely retrieved it."
"Besides, I didn’t ask for that Fasting Pill. You know the ways of our Qian Ding Sect, yet they insist on targeting Huo Ting. I think they just dislike Huo Ting," Changgui was quite displeased with the actions of the second master’s family.
Upon hearing this, Huo Lian raised his eyes to regard the second master’s household, a chilling light flashing in his eyes: "Is it really as he claims?"
