"You're Huo Yongming? Never heard of you."
Hearing this, Xia Ping looked at the blue-robed old man in confusion. He said that this was the first time he had heard that name, and the first time he had seen the old man.
"I am the head of the Huo Family." Huo Yongming's voice was low. "My descendant, Huo Gang, was in your care some time ago."
Xia Ping raised an eyebrow. He remembered Huo Gang, the Core Student, and said, "I see. Why are you calling me? Are you planning to come after me?"
"If I'd wanted to punish you, I would have done it already. Why wait until now? From a King's perspective, what happened between you two was trivial, not worth mentioning." Huo Yongming spoke calmly. "But what you did today is a truly serious matter."
"You actually dared to auction off the demon race's young prodigies in public. Have you thought about the consequences?"
"If this sparks a war between the Human Race and the demon race, you'll be the culprit and will have to bear full responsibility."
His tone was extremely stern, as if Xia Ping were some kind of war criminal.
"What do you want, then?" Xia Ping didn't reveal his position.
Huo Yongming put on a concerned expression and said, "Of course, you should release those demon prodigies unconditionally, then apologize to the demon race and appease their anger."
"That would benefit both sides. There's no need to let things get so tense."
He laid out his proposal.
"Oh, if that's all, I'm hanging up. I've got things to do." Hearing this, Xia Ping wanted to end the call. He couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on Huo Yongming.
Setting aside how outrageous it was to demand that he release those demon prodigies
