A Warm Family Banquet

Time flew by, and it was already afternoon.

Quan Yi and Huo Wu followed Huo Wushuang on a tour of the academy.

There is Library, dormitories, Mimetic Training Field, and so on.

However, only Huo Wushuang and Quan Yi were communicating throughout the entire process, while Huo Wu remained silent, simply keeping her head down and obediently following behind the two.

The sun began to set, and the sky was painted with a golden hue.

"Let's go, the carriage should be ready." Seeing that it was almost time, Huo Wushuang called to the two of them that they were about to leave the campus.

"Okay," Quan Yi replied.

However, only Quan Yi answered.

Huo Wu seemed a little absent-minded at the moment and did not hear Huo Wushuang's call.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu," Huo Wushuang reminded her again.

"Oh, oh, I see." Huo Wu finally realized.

As the sun sets, the campus gradually becomes quiet.

Reaching the school gate, Huo Wushuang took one last deep look at the academy before turning and walking out of the gate.

Two luxurious horse-drawn carriages were parked at the school gate.

Huo Wu's parents arrived earlier than Quan Yi others.

"We're here. Shall we set off now?" Auntie asked softly.

Quan Yi and Huo Wu both turned their gazes toward Huo Wushuang at the same time.

Huo Wushuang smiled slightly, then said with a hint of reluctance, "Okay, no problem, let's go home."

Huo Wuxie nodded, and then began to arrange the seating.

"We have prepared two carriages. Your mother and I will ride in one, and the three of you can ride in the other."

The crisp sound of horses' hooves rang out, and the carriage began to slowly leave the academy. However, the carriage where Quan Yi was located fell silent.

Huo Wushuang was also sitting in the carriage, his eyes constantly shifting between Quan Yi and Huo Wu.

The slight sadness that had arisen was instantly washed away by the current situation.

Quan Yi was calmly gazing at the scenery outside the window. Huo Wu, on the other hand, had her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were deep in thought.

Seeing Quan Yi's appearance, Huo Wushuang felt a surge of admiration for Quan Yi.

"This guy usually seems so gentle, but I didn't expect him to actually fight back when the time came. He's a real man."

Quan Yi looked out the window, his face calm, but his heart was already churning with turmoil.

Quan Yi is not a man who is oblivious to emotions; he was already well aware of Huo Wu's feelings for him.

At the same time, he did not underestimate the weight of this relationship because Huo Wu was young.

Feelings are the most direct and sincere things.

Quan Yi must respond with the same sincerity.

More than an hour later, the carriage stopped in the Huo Family's territory.

Looking out the window, Quan Yi saw an enormous, finely Refined Iron gate.

After the gate opened, a spacious courtyard and a tall four-story villa came into view.

There is a large fountain in the courtyard, and all kinds of novel flowers are scattered around the fountain.

As night falls, the courtyard and villa windows are illuminated by countless lights, making it look like a dream castle.

This is Huo Wu's home.

The carriage drove through the gate and stopped in front of the villa.

After getting off the carriage, there was a huge fountain in the courtyard, its waters shimmering under the night lights.

Stepping into the villa, one finds it brightly lit and opulent, like a medieval noble castle.

Huo Wuxie and his wife led everyone directly to a certain place.

It was a very long passage, and at the end of the passage was a large door.

Pushing open the door, you'll find a huge round table in the room, already laden with all sorts of food.

Moreover, what's noteworthy is that this banquet featured a lot of dishes made with Soul Beast Meat, something Quan Yi had already smelled from outside the door.

"Please sit down. Xiao Yi, relax too. It's just the five of us attending this family dinner."

This is the venue for the family banquet. Huo Wuxie took the seat of honor first, and the others followed suit.

"I heard you have a big appetite, so I specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for you. I hope you like it."

Huo Wu's Mother sat beside Huo Wuxie, speaking gently to Quan Yi.

"Thank you so much. I really like these."

After everyone was seated, Huo Wuxie began the banquet.

The atmosphere at the dinner was very relaxed, with few formalities.

Quan Yi also ate the food in front of him without worry.

He picked up a large piece of Soul Beast Meat and ate it in big mouthfuls.

This is the meat of Thousand Year -old Soul Beast Meat.

Quan Yi bite and guessed the approximate age.

Such a large table full of food, and the invitation was given out of the blue, so it must have taken some thought.

Quan Yi was also very moved.

"Is it to your liking?" Huo Wu's mother asked.

"It's delicious. I haven't had hot Soul Beast Meat in a long time. Thank you for your trouble."

"Eat more if you like it." Huo Wu's mother watched with satisfaction as Quan Yi big mouthful of Soul Beast Meat.

The dinner proceeded in this harmonious atmosphere; everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.

However, after the joyous dinner, Huo Wuxie suddenly called out to Quan Yi.

"Xiao Yi, can you come to the study with me?" Huo Wuxie's expression was very calm, but something seemed to be hidden beneath that calmness.

"Okay," Quan Yi agreed.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Huo Wu stood in front of Quan Yi, looking at Huo Wuxie.

"It's okay."

Quan Yi reached out and placed his hand on Huo Wu's shoulder, then stepped forward and smiled as he comforted Huo Wu.

This is a matter between men; Quan Yi can't hide behind Huo Wu.

"Haha, Xiao Wu, I'm not going to eat people," Huo Wuxie replied with a loud laugh.

"Yes, yes. Let's not disturb their conversation." With that, Huo Wu's mother pulled Huo Wu out the door.

Huo Wu's mother was very strong, and Huo Wu couldn't break free. However, before leaving, Huo Wu kept looking at Quan Yi with worry.

Huo Wushuang followed the two out of the Dining Hall.

Inside a study on the second floor.

Only Huo Wuxie and Quan Yi remained in the room.

Huo Wuxie's previous image as a gentle and cheerful uncle completely vanished at this moment.

He exuded a dignified and solemn aura, which put a great sense of pressure on Quan Yi.

"Xiao Yi, I've heard a lot about you from Xiao Wu. You're smart, talented, and hardworking."

"So, I want to ask you directly, what's your opinion on Huo Wu?" Huo Wuxie asked seriously.

"Huo Wu is the person I want to protect," Quan Yi replied directly.

"Oh. Huo Wu is the apple of our eye. I'm not even dead yet, what right do you have to protect her?"

Huo Wuxie flew into a rage, unleashing his full power.

With eyes wide open in anger, like the gaze of an ancient dragon, pressure instantly pressed down on Quan Yi.

"Then, I will show you whether I am qualified."

Quan Yi also had a serious expression, looking directly into Huo Wuxie's eyes, and answered firmly.
