"Yuhao, did you save someone outside Odin Town?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback and quickly thought it over.
Who had he saved? Wasn't it Cai'er? Could Cai'er have some connection to Saint Moon?
Or was it because of that assassin in white?
Beside Saint Moon, Yang Haohan's expression also turned somewhat strange, because Odin Town was precisely where Huo Yuhao had previously told him that Long Xingyu and Huo Yuhao had been training.
Could something really have happened there?
After a brief silence, Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Senior, I didn't save anyone."
He answered this way because he wanted to avoid trouble. He didn't know what Saint Moon intended to do to him, and it was better to avoid what he could.
Besides, he really hadn't saved Cai'er, since an assassin had been following her. Even if he hadn't stepped in, the assassin would have.
He had also been knocked unconscious by that assassin and hadn't had much contact with Cai'er.
"You didn't save anyone?"
Saint Moon was somewhat surprised by the answer. After taking a long look at Huo Yuhao, he revealed a faint, peculiar smile.
Huo Yuhao had only said he hadn't saved anyone, but he hadn't denied going to Odin Town.
Besides, Cai'er had said the person who saved her was a knight named Huo Yuhao, with a very unusual ice attribute.
All those details matched Huo Yuhao perfectly.
So, in his view, Huo Yuhao simply didn't want to admit it.
After all, the words Huo Yuhao had spoken outside Odin Town had reached his ears exactly as they had been said.
He also thought Huo Yuhao had a point, but some mistakes had already been made, and even if he wanted to change things, Cai'er was naturally resistant.
So, to change the situation, he still hoped to use Huo Yuhao's help to bring Sheng Cai'er closer to her family.
Moreover, the next of the six senses Cai'er would lose was her sense of touch. If she didn't get through this trial well, there would be little room for her relationship with them to improve in the future.
At that thought, Saint Moon's expression relaxed, and he said in a gentler tone:
"Yuhao, you don't need to worry. I won't do anything to you. Besides, your palace lord is here. Would he just stand by and watch?"
"To tell you the truth, Cai'er is my great-granddaughter. Ever since she came back from Odin Town, she's been talking about you constantly. In any case, you're close in age. In the future, you can cultivate and play together in the Holy City."
"As you know, because of our problems, Cai'er is rather withdrawn. Compared to an old fellow like me, you young people have more to talk about."
In Saint Moon's view, Huo Yuhao would be staying in the Holy City for a long time to come, because he had to deal with the matter of the magic equipment.
Only after hearing Saint Moon's words did Yang Haohan realize that Huo Yuhao had saved his great-granddaughter and left a very good impression on her.
Otherwise, Saint Moon wouldn't have come looking for him every day.
Old Sheng's talent was anything but ordinary, and his great-granddaughter had actually begun training at such a young age, yet he hadn't received any news of it.
Clearly, the Assassin Temple had concealed information about this person named Sheng Cai'er.
In that case, Saint Moon's great-granddaughter must be highly talented. If possible, it would make a fine story, just like Yang Wenzhao marrying the granddaughter of Chen Hongyu from the Soul Temple.
With Yuhao's talent, it might really work out, but that Sheng Cai'er's talent would also have to place her among the geniuses.
Thinking of this, Yang Haohan took the initiative to speak:
"Yuhao, our Knight Temple and the Assassin Temple are as close as brothers. Since Palace Lord Saint Moon has put it this way, it wouldn't be right for you to refuse again. Find a chance to meet that Sheng Cai'er later!"
Both Huo Yuhao and Saint Moon were somewhat surprised by these words.
Saint Moon in particular knew exactly what Yang Haohan was planning, so he transmitted his voice irritably:
"Old Yang, stop dreaming. Our Cai'er is our treasure, and her talent is exceptionally high. Don't set your sights on her."
Hearing this, Yang Haohan smiled and transmitted his reply:
"Old Sheng, have you ever seen anyone break through to the Fifth Tier before the age of ten? Yuhao has the greatest talent I've ever seen, and his grandfather can't praise him enough. Do you still think he isn't worthy of your great-granddaughter?"
At this point, Yang Haohan suddenly thought of something and shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no. I just realized that Cai'er is your great-granddaughter, while Yuhao is my grandson. By that reckoning, if they really marry in the future, we'd end up a generation below you. How could that be?"
Saint Moon knew that Yang Haohan was giving him a way to save face, but he also understood that there was probably no one in the entire human race with greater talent than Huo Yuhao.
Not to mention that Huo Yuhao was exceptional in both talent and intelligence, and Saint Moon himself found him pleasing to the eye.
But Cai'er still had to like him for anything to come of it. Besides, they were both still young, so there was no need to decide so early. They could wait and see what the two chose later.
When Saint Moon didn't object, Yang Haohan knew his words had gotten through to him.
In that case, he might have brought about another match.
Watching the changing expressions on Saint Moon's and Yang Haohan's faces, Huo Yuhao knew that the two were transmitting words that weren't meant for him to hear.
He felt a great deal of pity for the little girl Sheng Cai'er, too.
She had shouldered so much at such a young age. If she needed his help, he wouldn't refuse.
It was just that...
Huo Yuhao felt Gu Yuena tugging on his clothes behind him and was somewhat worried.
Gu Yuena would be following him most of the time from now on. If she harbored any hostility toward Cai'er, it really would be troublesome.
He could only hope that wouldn't happen.
At that thought, Huo Yuhao nodded to Saint Moon and said:
"Sorry to have made you come so many times, Senior Saint Moon. We aren't sleepy right now, so we'll go with you to see Miss Cai'er!"
"We?"
Saint Moon raised an eyebrow and gave Gu Yuena, behind Huo Yuhao, another look.
Only now did he notice that this little girl was actually a rare budding beauty.
She was already so pretty at such a young age. What would she be like when she grew up?
If Cai'er really fell for Huo Yuhao in the future, wouldn't this little girl be an obstacle?
Yang Haohan also noticed Saint Moon's expression and explained:
"Brother Saint Moon, this is a little girl Yuhao picked up on his trip. She's too young to know how to do many things, so she's been following Yuhao and learning from him."
"A younger sister?"
Yang Haohan's explanation did nothing to lower Saint Moon's guard. After all, it was all too common for a girl to start as a friend, then become a little sister, and finally a sweetheart. How could he not worry?
All the more so because Huo Yuhao and the little girl had already become brother and sister, making the risk even greater.
But there were no signs of that kind of relationship between Huo Yuhao and his great-granddaughter yet, so it wasn't his place to say much. He simply said, his face darkening:
"Huo Yuhao, bring your little sister and follow me!"
