"What?! You actually hid it from me and secretly joined Spirit Hall?"
After listening to Feng Changkong's explanation, Huo Chen was filled with astonishment.
He had never expected that this young man before him was Su Mo, the legendary Holy Son of Spirit Hall.
Huo Chen had long heard of Su Mo. He knew that Su Mo's strength was unfathomable.
What Huo Chen had never imagined was this:
Spirit Hall actually harbored ambitions of unifying the continent, and even the Feng Clan and Shui Clan had kept it from him while secretly submitting to Spirit Hall.
"Old Huo... it wasn't that I meant to hide it from you. You know that I'm currently within the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Feng Clan oversees both Godwind Academy and Godwind City. If the Heaven Dou Empire learned that the Huo Clan had submitted to Spirit Hall, I'm afraid there would be serious trouble."
Feng Changkong looked somewhat awkward. After all, they had been friends for decades, and Godwind, Tianshui, and Blazing Fire had always been on good terms, with close ties between them.
Yet now, he had hidden it from his old friend and secretly submitted to Spirit Hall.
Feng Changkong could not help but feel somewhat guilty.
"That's right, Dean Huo. We truly were in the wrong over this matter, but it is of great importance. I hope Dean Huo can understand," Shui Lingyue added.
Huo Chen sighed. "Of course this old man understands your difficulties."
Huo Chen was, after all, the head of a clan and the dean of Blazing Fire Academy. He had seen his share of storms, so although he was usually hot-tempered, at this moment he could understand Feng Changkong and Shui Lingyue's predicament.
After all, they each had a massive clan and an academy behind them.
