Time passed quickly, and it was now afternoon.
Quanyi and Huo Wu followed Huo Wu Shuang around the Academy.
There was a library, Dormitories, a Mimetic Training Field, and so on.
However, throughout the entire process, only Huo Wu Shuang and Quanyi communicated. Huo Wu didn't say a word the whole time, she just lowered her head and obediently followed behind them.
The sun began to set, and the sky was dyed golden.
"Let's go, the Carriage should be ready." Seeing that the time was almost up, Huo Wu Shuang called out to the two of them, ready to leave the campus.
"Okay." Quanyi responded.
However, Quanyi was the only one who answered.
Huo Wu seemed a little absent-minded at the moment, and didn't hear Huo Wu Shuang's call.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu." Huo Wu Shuang reminded her again.
"Oh, oh, I know." Huo Wu finally reacted.
The sun set, and the campus gradually became quiet.
Walking to the school gate, Huo Wu Shuang took one last deep look at the Academy, and then turned and walked out of the school gate.
At the school gate, two luxurious Carriages were parked.
Huo Wu's parents had arrived a little earlier than Quanyi and the others.
"You're here. Can we leave now?" Her aunt asked softly.
Quanyi and Huo Wu's gazes turned to Huo Wu Shuang at the same time.
Huo Wu Shuang smiled slightly, and then said with a hint of reluctance, "Yes, no problem, let's go home."
Huo Wu Xie nodded, and then began to arrange the seating.
"We've prepared two Carriages, your mother and I will take one, and the three of you can take the other."
The crisp sound of horses' hooves rang out, and the Carriages began to slowly leave the Academy, but the carriage where Quanyi was in fell silent at this time.
Huo Wu Shuang was also sitting in the carriage, his eyes constantly switching between Quanyi and Huo Wu.
The slight feeling of sadness that had arisen was instantly washed away by the current situation.
Quanyi was now calmly looking at the scenery outside the window. Huo Wu, on the other hand, had a slight frown, as if she was thinking about something.
Seeing Quanyi's appearance, Huo Wu Shuang's respect for Quanyi arose spontaneously.
This guy usually looks so gentle, but I didn't expect him to take action when he needs to. He's a man.
Quanyi looked out the window, his face calm, but his heart was already stirred up.
Quanyi wasn't a man who was insensitive to emotions. He had long been aware of Huo Wu's feelings for him.
At the same time, he didn't underestimate the weight of this feeling just because Huo Wu was young.
Emotions are the most direct and sincere things.
Quanyi must respond with the same sincerity.
More than an hour later, the Carriage stopped at the Huo Family's territory.
Looking out the window, Quanyi saw a huge Refined Iron gate.
After the gate opened, what came into view was a large courtyard and a tall four-story villa.
There was a large fountain in the courtyard, and various novel flowers surrounded the fountain, covering the entire yard.
Night fell, and the courtyard and villa windows were illuminated by countless lights, making it look like a dreamlike castle.
This was Huo Wu's home.
The Carriage drove through the gate and stopped in front of the villa.
Getting out of the Carriage, there was a huge fountain in the courtyard, and the spring water shimmered under the illumination of the night lights.
...
Walking into the villa, it was brightly lit and magnificent, like a medieval Noble castle.
Huo Wu Xie and his wife led everyone directly to a certain place.
It was a long corridor, and at the end of the corridor was a large door.
Pushing open the door, the room contained a huge round table, which was already filled with various foods.
Moreover, what was eye-catching was that this Family Banquet had prepared many Soul Beast Meat dishes, which Quanyi had already smelled from outside the door.
"Everyone, sit down. Xiao Yi, relax a bit too. Only the five of us are attending this Family Banquet."
This was the venue for this Family Banquet. Huo Wu Xie took the lead in sitting in the host's seat, and the others also took their seats in turn.
"I heard that you have a large appetite, so I specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for you. I hope you like it."
Huo Wu's mother, sitting next to Huo Wu Xie, spoke gently to Quanyi.
"Thank you very much. I like these very much."
After everyone was seated, Huo Wu Xie began the dinner party.
The atmosphere of the dinner party was very relaxed, without too many rules.
Quanyi also ate the food in front of him with peace of mind.
He picked up a large piece of Soul Beast Meat and ate it in large mouthfuls.
This was millennium-level Soul Beast Meat.
Quanyi guessed the approximate age with one bite.
There was so much on the table, and it was a sudden invitation, so it must have taken some thought.
Quanyi was also very touched.
"Does it suit your taste?" Huo Wu's mother asked.
"It's very delicious. It's been a long time since I've had steaming Soul Beast Meat. Thank you for your trouble."
"If it's delicious, eat more." Huo Wu's mother looked at Quanyi with a gratified expression as he took a big bite of the Soul Beast Meat.
The dinner party proceeded in such a harmonious atmosphere, and everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful.
However, after the joyful dinner party, Huo Wu Xie suddenly stopped Quanyi.
"Xiao Yi, can you come to the Study with me?" Huo Wu Xie's expression was very peaceful, but under this peace, something seemed to be hidden.
"Okay." Quanyi agreed.
"Wait, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Huo Wu stood in front of Quanyi, looking at Huo Wu Xie warily.
"It's okay."
Quanyi reached out and pressed Huo Wu's shoulder, then stepped forward and smiled to reassure Huo Wu.
This was a matter between men, and Quanyi couldn't hide behind Huo Wu.
"Haha, Huo Wu, I'm not going to eat anyone." Huo Wu Xie also laughed and replied.
"Yes, yes. Let's not disturb their conversation between men." As she said that, Huo Wu's mother pulled Huo Wu out of the door.
Huo Wu's mother was very strong, and Huo Wu couldn't break free, but before leaving, Huo Wu kept looking at Quanyi with worry.
Huo Wu Shuang also followed the two out of the Dining Hall.
Inside a Study on the second floor.
Only Huo Wu Xie and Quanyi were left in the room.
Huo Wu Xie, the image of the gentle and cheerful uncle he had shown before, completely disappeared at this moment.
His whole person exuded an aura of majesty and solemnity, bringing a great sense of oppression to Quanyi.
"Xiao Yi, I've heard a lot about you from Huo Wu. You are very smart, talented, and hardworking.
So, I want to ask you directly, what do you think of Huo Wu?" Huo Wu Xie asked seriously.
"Huo Wu is the person I want to protect." Quanyi answered directly.
"Oh? Huo Wu is the apple of our Huo Family's eye. I'm not dead yet, so what gives you the right to protect her?"
Huo Wu Xie was furious, and his aura erupted completely.
His eyes widened in anger, like the gaze of an ancient dragon, and the pressure instantly bore down on Quanyi.
"Then, I will show you whether I am qualified."
Quanyi also looked serious, stared directly into Huo Wu Xie's eyes, and replied firmly.
