59 -59: Master Huo Returns to the Country Early
Lu Yichen, Long Xinzhao, and Gu Qingqing, all of them were born into the four major families.
Their marriages were destined to be aligned with other aristocratic families since birth.
Neither Hou Xiangli nor Qin Family’s illegitimate child, Qin Ruan, had anything to do with Lu Yichen.
The three playfully steered past this topic.
Suddenly, Lu Yichen spoke to Long Xinzhao, “Did you hear that the Third Master Huo is coming back?”
Long Xinzhao came from the Long Family, one of the four major families.
His own sister was married to the eldest young master of the Huo Family, Huo Junxin.
Being two major families interlinked by marriage, they naturally had more information than the Lu and Gu families.
Long Xinzhao looked up, “Really?
I didn’t know.”
“Seriously?” Lu Yichen was skeptical, “I overheard my dad say this morning that your brother-in-law took time off to welcome Third Master Huo.”
A few days ago, Third Master Huo left the country.
Even though no one knew why, all the forces in Capital City got the news.
As the high-ranking secret adviser next to the President, Huo Junxin usually couldn’t seem to take time off because of his busy schedule.
He took a day off today, and the President couldn’t help but approve it.
The next successor of the Huo Family, Yunjiao, was coming back.
“I didn’t go home last night, so I don’t know about this,” Long Xinzhao genuinely was unaware.
“The Third Master is really coming back?” Gu Qingqing interrupted.
A blush could be seen on the young girl’s face, revealing a touch of shy delight.
Both Long Xinzhao and Lu Yichen noticed this, and their hearts slightly soured. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Given Huo Yunjiao’s identity, looks, and abilities, he had the beauties of every major family in Capital City wrapped around his finger.
Loads of noble maidens wanted to marry him.
Despite his frailty since birth, it didn’t change the fact that he was exceedingly handsome.
Long Xinzhao and Lu Yichen, being men themselves, had to admit that Third Master Huo was truly attractive.
As for Gu Qingqing, she was only a first-year college student.
The line of noble women hoping to marry Third Master Huo was long, it was practically a pipe dream for her.
…
Qin Ruan was still unaware of Huo Yunjiao’s early return.
She returned to her dorm room, prepared to take a nap, and received a phone call from her older schoolmate.
“Qin Ruan, something’s happened, people are dying!
Save them, they’re dying!” Ling Xiaoxuan spoke incoherently, her voice filled with panic.
Qin Ruan gently rubbed her forehead, her voice soothing, “Speak slowly, don’t panic.”
Ling Xiaoxuan managed to organize her words, “Do you remember how I joined an adventure team to explore the supernatural in Qi Mountain?”
“Yes.”
Considering that the Mountain Demon from Qi Mountains almost cost Qin Ruan her life, how could she not know?
“The exploration team ventured to Qi Mountain again, they are in trouble, one person is even dead, they can’t get out.”
Ling Xiaoxuan’s voice was filled with fear.
Every word she uttered was tremulous.
“Do you know the specifics?” Qin Ruan asked.
“I don’t know.
I got a call for help from them, but they couldn’t explain exactly what it is.
All they know is that it’s a supernatural event.
They can’t make their way out of the mountain, they’ll all die if they stay any longer!
Can you save them, Qin Ruan?”
Ling Xiaoxuan couldn’t bear to leave them to die, they were once her teammates after all.
It was only after the Mountain Demon was killed with her bare hands by Qin Ruan, did she realize the danger of unknown creatures existing in this world.
With a former teammate dying at the hands of those things, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Qin Ruan sat at the edge of her bed, her feet idly dangling from the end of the bed.
Instead of agreeing immediately, she pondered.
Qi Mountain was three hours by road from Cloud City.
The journey would take even longer if they needed to venture into the mountain.
