The relationship between the Huo Clan and Qin Xiaoyou was indeed a little complicated. To be precise, it was the relationship between Huo Changxing and Qin Xiaoyou's mother, Wang Huiru.
Back then, Wang Huiru and Huo Changxing were classmates. When they were young, they both studied at Hua Xia University. At that time, Wang Huiru was young, beautiful, gentle, virtuous, and talented. Huo Changxing was deeply attracted to her. It could be said that Wang Huiru was the only woman Huo Changxing had ever loved.
However, Wang Huiru was very outstanding at that time. She was a famous beauty in school and had many suitors. He had a very strong competitor, which was Qin Xiaoyou's biological father, Qin Yi.
When Qin Yi was young, he got along well with Huo Changxing. The two of them had similar interests and were best friends. Moreover, both of them liked Wang Huiru. In the fight for love, the two of them had always been competitors.
At that time, Huo Changxing was the eldest son of the Huo Family, one of the five big ancient martial arts aristocratic families in the capital. He had amazing talent and was known as the genius youth of the Huo Family in a hundred years. Qin Yi, on the other hand, was a good-for-nothing in the Qin Clan. He was born in the direct line of descent, but was not valued by the clan. He had always been mediocre.
However, Wang Huiru chose Qin Yi in the end.
When Huo Changxing was young and proud, he had lost to Qin Yi, an ordinary person who could not cultivate ancient martial arts, in the field of love.
Huo Changxing left Huaxia in a fit of rage. He had been gone for decades, and there had been no news of him. No one knew where he had gone. Even the Huo Family had forgotten about this genius who could become the Huo Family's successor and the pride of the family.
Not long ago, the pride of the Huo family had finally returned to Huaxia. He had returned to the Huo family and immediately inherited the position of the family head.
Although Huo Changxing had left Hua Xia for decades, he still couldn't forget the feelings he had for Wang Huiru. After asking around, he found out about the situation of Wang Huiru and her daughter. In a fit of rage, he went to the Qin Clan to demand an explanation. However, because the Qin Clan's eldest great grandfather had already broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm, he returned empty-handed.
The reason why Qin Xiaoyou could appear in the Huo Family was naturally because of her mother. Ever since Qin Yi had died, Wang Huiru had raised Qin Xiaoyou alone and had not remarried. He did not know what method Huo Changxing had used to make Wang Huiru agree to follow him to the Huo Family.
Qin Xiaoyou did not object to her mother's choice. Instead, she supported it. She knew how hard it was for a lonely woman to raise her. If Uncle Huo loved her mother, he might be able to give her happiness.
This time, Qin Xiaoyou had come to participate in the Capital Martial Arts Symposium partly because of the Huo Clan, and partly because of her mother.
Ever since Huo Changxing left his hometown, the Huo Clan had gradually started to weaken. In the past few decades, they were far from what they used to be. Among the descendants, all of them had mediocre aptitudes. There were very few geniuses among them.
Compared to the other four aristocratic families that were getting more and more prosperous, the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger.
This was especially true for the Old Patriarch of the Huo Clan. He was already very old, and because he had been seriously injured many years ago, his cultivation had regressed, and he did not have much time left. If the pillar of the Huo Family fell, the Huo Family would be completely weakened.
During the Capital Martial Arts Symposium, many ancient martial arts aristocratic families had their eyes on the Huo Clan. Some of the more ambitious aristocratic families had the idea of defeating the Huo Clan to rise in power. After all, among the five big ancient martial arts aristocratic families in the capital, the other four aristocratic families had always been prosperous and hard to shake. It was not easy for the other ancient martial arts aristocratic families to rise to the top.
If Qin Xiaoyou could perform outstandingly in the Capital Martial Arts Symposium and display shocking talent, then she would definitely be valued by the Huo Clan. Then, Qin Xiaoyou's mother would also be valued more.
She understood that although Uncle Huo loved her mother deeply, the rest of the Huo Clan might not approve of her mother. After all, her mother was just an ordinary person with no power or influence behind her back. How could the Huo Clan approve of such a person as the Madam of the Clan Leader? Even if they did not say anything on the surface because of Uncle Huo's reputation and authority, they would definitely make irresponsible remarks and disrespect her secretly.
So, Qin Xiaoyou was prepared to perform well in the Capital Martial Arts Symposium, so that the Huo Clan would value both mother and daughter even more.
Qin Xiaoyou looked at Huo Changxing and said with a determined face, "Uncle Huo, Mo Wen killed the genius of the Meng Clan. If the Meng Clan comes looking for Mo Wen, Xiaoyou will definitely not sit idly by."
"Little girl, do you want me to make a stand? Since I treat you as my own daughter, then your matters are naturally my matters. When the people of the Meng Clan come over, I promise that I will not let them hurt your little lover. "
Huo Changxing smiled as he looked at Qin Xiaoyou. He stood with his hands behind his back. His aura was steady, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. Although he did not look very healthy on the outside, he had a unique aura.
Mo Wen looked at Huo Changxing, a little surprised. This middle-aged man's aura was extraordinary. It was not only the strength reflected from his cultivation, but also the confidence of a person who had seen the world.
Just as the few of them were chatting, there was the sound of wind breaking in the distance. Clothes fluttered in the wind. It seemed that many people were rushing over here. In a short while, a few silhouettes appeared in the small courtyard. Then, more and more silhouettes appeared. They surrounded the Huo Clan's courtyard.
"People of the Meng Clan, you have barged into the residence of the Huo Clan with such an aggressive aura. What is your intention? Could it be that you want to start a fight between the two clans?"
Huo Changxing looked at those people and said with an indifferent expression.
"Huo Clan Leader, we are not here to target the Huo Clan, but to find a person. He killed the heir of the Huo Clan, so we have to capture him. No one can stop us."
A middle-aged man in green walked out and looked at Huo Changxing as he cupped his fists and bowed. However, his gaze was on Mo Wen, and a glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. This person was extremely daring. He actually dared to kill the people of the Meng Clan, and it was the number one genius of the Meng Clan, Meng Guo.
"Not here to target the Huo Clan? But the people of the Meng Clan have surrounded the Huo Clan's courtyard. How impressive! "
Huo Changxing said coldly. The commotion here naturally alarmed many people. Many people of the Huo Clan came out from their residences and looked angrily at the arrogant people of the Meng Clan.
"Huo Clan Leader, I have already said it very clearly just now. Someone here killed the heir of the Meng Clan. We have to capture this scoundrel, and no one can stop us. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us. After we capture this scoundrel, we will definitely apologize to the Huo Clan. "
After the middle-aged man in green finished his sentence, he no longer cared about the people of the Huo Clan. It was as if he treated them as air. He looked directly at Mo Wen, then suddenly attacked. It was as if this place was not the Huo Clan's courtyard, but the Meng Clan's territory.
A green silhouette flashed and pounced towards Mo Wen with an imposing manner. In the blink of an eye, it had crossed a distance of more than ten meters. It actually had the cultivation of the intermediate stage of the Qi Nucleation realm. Such a person, even in the Capital, was a rare top expert. There were not many of them in the five big aristocratic families.
"Presumptuous."
Huo Changxing snorted coldly and attacked at the same time. His figure swayed slightly, and he appeared in front of the green silhouette. The next moment, a terrifying aura swept out, and the huge pressure directly caused the green silhouette to tremble.
In an instant, the green silhouette seemed to have been struck by lightning. He flashed and retreated, returning to his original position. There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his face was pale. In the instant of collision just now, he had been injured.
"The pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm."
The azure-clothed middle-aged man sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Huo Changxing gravely. His expression became much more solemn.
Previously, it was rumored that after Huo Changxing returned to the Huo Clan, he immediately took over the position of clan leader, and his cultivation had also reached the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm. Sure enough, these words were not false. He didn't believe it before, but now that the truth was right in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it.
Many aristocratic families received the news that the old patriarch of the Huo Family was not in the Huo Family's team this time. Huo Changxing was fully in charge. Therefore, many people believed that the Huo family's power was lost, and that it would be difficult for them to maintain their position as one of the Five Great Families. This was also the reason why he looked down on the Huo family.
"Patriarch Huo, our Meng Family has no intention of offending you. We just want to catch a thief. He killed the heir of the Meng Family. As the Family Head of the Huo Family, you must understand how serious this matter is. The Old Master of the Huo Family is already furious. I hope that the Huo Family can give face to the Meng Family and not interfere in this matter. We will definitely thank you in the future. "
The middle-aged man in green cupped his fists and bowed to Huo Changxing. His attitude was more respectful than before. However, this was how the ancient martial arts world was. The strong were respected, and everything was determined by one's ability.
Now, Huo Changxing had Cultivation at the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm. It could be said that he was not any weaker than the Huo Family's patriarch. Moreover, he was only 40 or 50 years old. His future achievements would most likely not stop there. It was even possible that he would break through to the Embryonic Breathing realm. Such a person naturally couldn't be offended casually.
Those who hoped for the Huo Family to decline and those who intended to rise would most likely still be disappointed.
"You don't have the right to talk to me. Ask the leader of the Meng family to come out. However, I can tell you for sure that no matter who you are, since you are in the Huo family's territory, you are a guest of the Huo family. No one can capture people in our territory."
No one can think of arresting someone in our territory, "Huo Changxing said plainly. He stood with his hands behind his back. He had no intention of discussing at all.
"Patriarch Huo, could it be that you insist on being enemies with the Meng Family?"
The middle-aged man in green asked with an ugly expression. What did Huo Changxing's words mean? Wasn't it obvious that he was covering up for the thief who had killed the heir of the Meng Family? Although the Meng Family might not be stronger than the Huo Family, they weren't any weaker than the Huo Family. This Huo Family actually didn't have any regard for them and didn't hesitate to offend the Meng Family for an unrelated person.
"If you are the only one who came today, then you'd better leave quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. Not every Tom, Dick, or Harry has the right to stand here and talk to me," Huo Changxing said coldly.
"You …"
The middle-aged man in green pointed at Huo Changxing and couldn't say anything for a long time. No one had ever dared to humiliate him and the Huo Family like this. Was this Huo Changxing determined to go against the Meng Family?
"Young man from the Huo Family, even your grandfather didn't dare to look down on the Meng Family. Now that you have grown up and your wings have hardened, do you think you can look down on anyone?"
A cold voice sounded. The next moment, a gust of wind blew, sweeping up the leaves on the ground. A silhouette quietly appeared in the courtyard. (To be continued.)
