Chapter 62 Sudden Event
Soon, Huo Hai arrived at the hall. At this time, others who had joined Huang Cheng Academy had already arrived. Huo Hai could be said to have come the latest. Because his protection was the most secretive among all people.
"Brother Hai, you're here, hurry up and let me see Xiao Jin. It's been a long time since I've seen it." As soon as he saw He Hai arrive, He Yun'er came over. He Hai was about to take out Xiao Jin, but changed his mind and stopped.
The whole Western Territory is now infested with insects, and it's not suitable to take it out in public. Otherwise, if people see such a strange centipede, who knows what they'll think of. Huo Hai's eyes rolled around as he thought of an excuse. At this time, Huo Yun'er had already become anxious. Of course, before Huo Hai could come up with a reason, someone helped him out. This person was Huo Kai.
"Clouds, don't make trouble. Today I let you come, there is something important. These past few days, the things that happened in the Western Frontier are very chaotic, you all know about it too. However, you can rest assured, this matter has nothing to do with you."
The master comforted them with a sentence, his whole person motionless and expressionless, as if he knew nothing about the family's internal affairs. "There is also one more thing, due to some reasons, you have to set off ahead of time, go to Huang Cheng Academy, leave today."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed. They were originally able to spend several more days with their families at home, but suddenly discovered that those days were gone. After entering the Imperial City Academy, it was unknown when they would be able to return again.
To know, once joined the Imperial City College, at least to reach the spiritual bone boundary, every year can only have a little time to leave. And only by reaching the spiritual realm, can apply for graduation. It can be said that many people join the Imperial City College, but truly graduate, there are not many. In the Western Border here, as long as you can join the Imperial City College, it is already a step into heaven.
Hu Hai was a careful observer, with a cold smile in his heart. Hu Kai's face didn't change at all, it had been like this since he saw himself. This kind of city, this kind of ruthless mentality, Hu Hai would absolutely not allow such an enemy to live.
"Hmph, once you arrive at the Imperial City Academy, it will be your death sentence." Huo Hai's eyes narrowed slightly, but no one saw the killing intent in his eyes. He lifted his head again, and his gaze had returned to normal. Huo Yun'er was crying pitifully as she bid farewell to her parents. As for Huo Kai, he was originally waiting for Huo Hai to say something else. But Huo Hai didn't make any indication, leaving Huo Kai awkwardly holding out his hand.
After a long time, Huo Kai coughed twice: "Cough, okay, pack up and follow me. This time is very urgent, so don't dawdle." Huo Kai shook his head, not knowing what the Academy was doing this time either.
The sky may fall, but the people on top will bear the brunt of it, and for now, it has nothing to do with me. Indeed, going to Huang Cheng Academy is more important after all. Upon hearing this, no one said anything else. Even if he wanted to say something, his family wouldn't let him.
All the parents, one after another, returned home to prepare things that had already been prepared long ago. Before long, a backpack was sent over, with no one in sight. The largest backpack was incredibly bigger than a person, which made Huo Hai laugh out loud. Who on earth would come up with such a huge backpack? If someone really carried this kind of big backpack outside, they would probably be laughed to death.
Huo Hai's things were also ready long ago. Except for a few necessary items, having the Gu insect on him was enough. After everyone had finished preparing, the host waved his hand and led all the people away, soon returning to the City Master's mansion once again.
Upon arriving at the City Lord's Manor, members of other families had almost all arrived. Ji Mu, who had been waiting here early, saw Huo Hai and a beautiful smile appeared on his face. He threw aside the guy who was being overly enthusiastic beside him.
"Ho Hai, you're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." That fawning guy's face changed as soon as Ji Mu left, becoming very ugly. When he saw Ji Mu walk up to a man, his face turned even greener. When he heard Ji Mu call out Ho Hai's name, his face changed again, turning deathly pale.
Huo Hai is a jinx. They already knew that when they were undergoing trials in the jungle.
This guy is not easy to mess with, however, dare to rob his own things, humph, arrived at the Imperial City College, and then find you trouble again. A gloomy-faced man, fully hiding the resentment in his eyes, turned around and started chatting with others.
Huò Hǎi also heard Jì Mù's voice, turned his head around. "Jì Mù ah, it was you." Huò Hǎi's face was slightly red, and his expression was somewhat awkward. Seeing Jì Mù reminded him of that night's events. How to say, he had also sneaked a peek. Although it was with the help of the Illusory Butterfly, what he saw was really too clear, and the distance was really too close.
Ji Mu didn't seem to notice anything and casually tossed a package to Huo Hai: "This is yours, take a look if there's anything wrong. As for the rest, let's talk about it later at Huang Cheng Academy." Huo Hai stretched out his hand and took the thing over.
It's immediately clear what this thing is. Isn't it armor made from the fur of Iron Armor Dog King? It feels relatively soft to the touch, so it should be wearable under other clothes without being noticeable from the outside. Ji Mu has already put one on. Initially, they said they would make five sets using the iron armor dog's skin and then send one set to Ji Mu.
Ji Mu felt a bit embarrassed: "That, sorry. The dog king's skin actually made six pieces, and one piece was left by the family." Ji Mu didn't want to deceive Huo Hai. He didn't want him to have any opinions about himself afterwards.
Actually, this Iron Armor Dog King is quite large, and Ji Mu doesn't know how many can be made, so he can only follow what he has seen before. As a result, six were made, and four were promised to Huo Hai, which are in Huo Hai's hands.
Ji's family knew that Ji Mu had no intention of deceiving, and he directly said it out. Originally, if he didn't say it, Huo Hai wouldn't have known, and nobody would have lost anything, so everyone would be happy. After Ji Mu finished speaking, he stared at Huo Hai with a tense face, afraid that Huo Hai would have a bad impression of him because this matter affected his image.
Huo Hai said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, these guys are all like this." That's right, just look at the He family and you'll know. These few days of observation have made Huo Hai fully understand what a truly large-scale family is like.
Huò Hǎi didn't get angry, and Jì Mù let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, Huò Yún ér burst out from the side. "Hi, my name is Huò Yún ér, I'm Hǎi Gēgē's cousin. Oh right, are you Hǎi Gēgē's girlfriend?" Huò Yún ér blinked her eyes repeatedly, full of curiosity.
This sentence made Ji Mu's face turn bright red, and she lowered her head, not saying a word. She didn't know how to respond, who was right, but in any case, Huo Hai had never admitted it before. If she said it wasn't true, Ji Mu didn't know why, and she couldn't say it out loud either.
"Bang""Ah." Huo Yun's head was knocked on, and Huo Hai withdrew his finger. "You little rascal, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't say things that can be misunderstood. This sister is Ji Wu, the second miss of the Ji family, and she's your brother's good friend. Of course, she's also a business partner. Got it?" Huo Hai lectured Huo Yun seriously.
Huoyun'er nodded with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful. This look made Jimumu feel a pang of heartache: "Huo Hai, don't be so rough, Yun'er is your sister. Come, does it hurt? Let sister help you rub it."
Huo Hai's words made Ji Mu feel a little down, but he quickly recovered and didn't show anything. On the contrary, it seemed that he and Yun'er got along quite well. The two of them soon started calling each other sister and brother, and they seemed to be getting along very happily.
He shook his head, and Huo Hai said in a low voice, "Alright, alright, you two play, I still have something to do. By the way, Ji Mu, don't talk nonsense about some things." Huo Hai gave Ji Mu a look, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Ji Mu naturally knew what Huo Hai was saying, rolled her eyes and indicated that she wouldn't speak recklessly. If she really spoke recklessly, Huo Hai would have been surrounded by people long ago. The two of them didn't notice that their expressions, in the eyes of others, were so ambiguous, so abnormal. Different people revealed different depths of color.
Huo Hai turned his head and quickly came to Huo Kai's direction, then pulled Huo Kai down to a deserted place.
Huo Hai's face was full of jest: "Youngster, what did you bring your old man here for? Is it to talk about that girl? The second daughter of the Ji family isn't bad, I quite like her." Huo Kai had been acting unscrupulously from the start, making Huo Hai want to punch him.
"What are you talking about, like Yun'er? I'm here to give you something. Didn't I say that during the trial, I killed an Iron Armor Dog King? This is me asking the Ji family for help to make armor, there are four pieces. Yun'er and I will keep two pieces, and the other two are for you. I won't say anything extra, just take care of it yourself."
Huo Hai threw the armor to Huo Kai, then turned around and left. This matter, Huo Hai had already told Huo Kai about it earlier. However, he didn't say that he was the one who hunted it down, but rather said that the wolf king was originally severely injured and he just took advantage of the situation.
Let the Ji family handle it, on the one hand because they have such professional personnel, and on the other hand, also don't want some people in the family to know. Huo Kai understands what kind of people they are, so he agrees too.
Previously, Huo Kai had given some of the dog king's bones to Huo Hai, who already knew about it. Huo Hai left a large number of bones and told Huo Kai that the dog king was killed by two people, and those bones belonged to the Ji family. Anyway, they would have to be traded with the Ji family eventually, so there was no problem with that. The Ji family wouldn't go around talking about this matter. As for what Ji Mu said, it had nothing to do with Huo Hai's affairs.
It's not that he doesn't want to leave everything to his family, but rather he really needs a large number of academy points. Without points, how can one cultivate quickly?
Besides, there aren't many family members. At least in Huo Hai's eyes, there are only a few people. They can't use these bones either. A large part of them will probably be stored away and become a reserve for the family.
