Chapter 242 Gossip

The three grown men were left there looking at each other in bewilderment.

Su Li felt the afterglow of the terrifying roar that had just been heard, "What...what is going on?"

Soon, Nan Chi's figure flashed out of the yard again.

"Senior Brother, I have something to talk to you about. Come quickly." As he said that, he pulled Zong Lie aside without hesitation.

"What's the matter?" Zong Lie asked with a smile.

If he saw it correctly, when he left just now, he saw from the corner of his eye that Junior Brother Huo's face darkened.

Zong Lie found things becoming more and more interesting.

"Do you have that kind of memory learning machine?" Nan Chi was a little embarrassed when he asked this.

Because as a student, I don’t have this kind of thing.

Zong Lie's eyes flickered slightly, and he shook his head with a smile, "No."

Nan Chi's expression fell.

"Maybe your Senior Brother Huo has it."

Nan Chi was stunned. Looking for Huo Sijun? She gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it, I'd better go back."

At worst, she can just go without food or drink and memorize things for a few days!

Zong Lie raised an eyebrow, "Are you and Junior Brother Huo having a conflict?"

Nan Chi's face darkened when he thought about what happened that day.

Thinking back to what the ninth ranked player in the game had done to him, the veins on his forehead couldn't help but bulge.

The corners of her mouth moved, and she forced a smile, "It's okay."

Zong Lie frowned, "As the eldest senior brother, I have the right and obligation to mediate the conflict between you. If you have any problems, you can tell me and I will help you."

Looking at the conflicted and angry expression on Nan Chi's face when he mentioned Huo Sijun, Zong Lie became even more curious about what the two of them were arguing about.

Nan Chi pursed her lips and glanced at Zong Lie, who had a serious face. She was holding her breath and wanted to find someone to talk to, but she was a real girl after all, so it was difficult for her to speak.

"...Forget it!" Nan Chi felt uncomfortable and turned to walk towards the yard.

"etc."

When Zong Lie saw her look, he inexplicably felt that his junior brother was extremely pitiful. Although he wanted to know what Huo Sijun had done to make this usually open-minded boy so depressed, he still couldn't bear to let him down.

Nan Chi turned around in confusion.

Zong Lie walked towards Huo Sijun who was leaning against the tree trunk.

Zong Lie said something to that guy. Huo Sijun glanced at him and then handed him something.

Soon, Zong Lie came back.

"Take it." Zong Lie handed an egg-shaped mechanical shell to Nan Chi.

Nan Chi hesitated. She knew that this thing belonged to Huo Sijun. To be honest, she refused to take that guy's things.

"You can return it to him after you use it." Zong Lie touched Nan Chi's head with amusement. What a stubborn and inflexible boy.

Nan Chi looked up at Zong Lie, who was as friendly as the big brother next door, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"Okay, let's go back, otherwise that adult will get angry again." Zong Lie withdrew his hand with a smile.

Watching the young man's back disappear in the yard, the smile on Zong Lie's lips disappeared. He turned his head and looked at the man who had come to his side without knowing when.

"I don't really care what the conflict between you is, but don't make it too ugly."

Huo Sijun glanced at the hand that Zong Lie had just placed on someone's head, suppressing the irritation in his heart and saying, "Yeah."

Seeing that he was unmoved, Zong Lie was furious and went straight back to the camp.

Su Li, who was watching the whole process, was under a lot of pressure. He knew very well that this senior brother of ancient studies was not as easy-going as he seemed. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the superior had "bullied" the junior brother Nanchi.

Zong Lie would never sit idly by.

Therefore, when he was alone, Su Li was not surprised at all to see Zong Lie coming to find him.

"As Junior Brother Huo's attendant, I came to you, and I think you should know what's going on, right?" Zong Lie still had a familiar gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were very oppressive.

Su Li sighed, knowing he couldn't escape. "This matter all started from that night when the commander saw Jing Xian in the game..."

"Surprised?" Zong Lie was surprised. He knew the stunning female player in the game "God of War", and that girl had also spread gossip with Junior Brother Huo.

"Wait, are you saying that the woman in white in the previous video is Jingxian from the game?"

Zong Lie felt that his brain was not enough.

Su Li nodded and told the boss everything that happened in the dark, including how the boss lost Jingxian, suddenly turned around and returned to the villa, and what he did to Nanchi.

Even though Zong Lie was a very well-mannered person, after hearing Huo Sijun's actions, he couldn't help but utter two words silently:

"Fuck!"

"...Junior Brother Huo lost Jingxian and came back with him...Nanchi, what is the connection between the two?" Zong Lie gritted his teeth and swallowed the word "molestation" back into his stomach.

Junior Brother Nanchi, who is extremely talented, and Junior Brother Huo, who has been arrogant, domineering, and self-disciplined since childhood?

Whenever Zong Lie thought of the scene described by Su Li, he got goosebumps all over his body.

"I didn't expect that Junior Brother Huo actually has that kind of hobby." Zong Lie couldn't help but think, is there something wrong with the way Huo Sijun looks at him?

After all, I have known him longer than Nan Chi.

"What are my hobbies?"

Zong Lie was stunned by the information given by Su Li when he heard a familiar tone in his ears.

"Hey! Junior Brother Huo is back? Did you gain anything in the village today?" Zong Lie couldn't hold back his personality for a moment.

Huo Sijun had changed out of his combat uniform and donned a white Hanfu suit in the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties, adapting to local customs. He looked elegant and refined, sitting at the coffee table and leisurely pouring himself a cup of tea.

"You haven't answered me yet. What are my hobbies?" Huo Sijun raised his eyelids, glanced at Zong Lie and said coldly.

No matter how cunning Zong Lie is, he can't stand being caught in the act of prying into someone else's privacy.

He sat awkwardly on the other side of the coffee table, watching Su Li's back as he hurried out, speechless for a moment.

"I heard that the woman in white in that video is Jingxian? Why didn't you tell me?"

"What's the point of telling you? Can you help me find her?" Huo Sijun asked with a wry smile.

Zong Lie: “…”

That's why he doesn't like this kid, and he prefers a junior brother like Nanchi who is less troublesome.

"So, after you lost Jingxian, you took your anger out on Junior Brother?"

Thinking of Nan Chi’s frustrated expression yesterday, Zong Lie felt heartbroken for him.

He's still a young adult, so I hope he doesn't have any psychological trauma...

"I'm not." Huo Sijun raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

My current mood is like a judge who knows that the other party is a murderer and has killed someone, but cannot provide strong evidence to prove that he really killed someone.

I can only watch the murderer go unpunished.
