Howie nodded. He also preferred the small house for two people, which would allow him to find him quickly.
Then, Huo Wei reached out and clasped his fingers with Li Shu's, and said again, "Let's go."
Li Shu stood there, unwilling to leave, his voice still trembling, "Do you want me to go to your house with you? Isn't this a bad idea?"
As a member of the Huo family, the Imperial Marshal, and the Imperial God of War, Huo Wei can be said to be the most powerful person in the empire. However, because of him, Huo Wei, the Imperial God of War, became a rebel.
Although Li Shu did not think he had done anything wrong, he felt guilty about meeting Huo's parents when he thought about how his son, who had such a bright future, had turned a straight road into a rebel because of him.
Howie: "..."
He saw an ambiguous look flickering in Li Shu's eyes, and there was also some helplessness in his eyes. "Whatever you are thinking, stop imagining it. We are here for serious business this time!"
"Business?" Li Shu straightened his expression, his face becoming serious, and said in a deep voice, "You want your uncle and aunt to go with you?"
Howie shook his head. "They died a long time ago."
Li Shu had never heard Huo Wei mention his family before, and he didn't expect this to be the reason. He opened his mouth and wanted to apologize, as if he had brought up a topic that he shouldn't have mentioned. Huo Wei looked indifferent, without any sign of sadness.
Huo Wei turned his head to look at Li Shu and smiled softly, "Don't worry, I was still young when they left, so I didn't feel anything. Since then, I have been adopted by the family. It was just a fair deal between us. They raised me, and I gave back to them. Now our deal is over, so now I have nothing to do with them."
Upon hearing this, Li Shu didn't say much. He just reached out and clasped his fingers with Huo Wei's. His expression was extremely serious, and he said calmly, "It doesn't matter. I'm the same as you. I don't have any family either, but the two of us can become a new family."
Huo Wei smiled and said nothing, but just held Li Shu's hand tighter.
Afterwards, Huo Wei took Li Shu towards the courtyard.
This time, Li Shu did not refuse, but walked over with the other party.
The two men did not go through the main gate, but walked in from the corner of the side door. There were few people here, and no one would stop them even if they walked here in broad daylight.
Huo Wei walked to a room that looked particularly old-fashioned with ease, "Where is this?"
"Hush!" Huo Wei let Mr. Shu move a little further away, then jumped onto the beam and took out a box. A smile appeared on his face, "I found it."
Li Shu looked at the long and thin box with some curiosity. Its appearance made him think of only one thing, that is, a sword box.
He opened his mouth and eyes to ask the other party, and saw Huo Wei opening the box in front of Li Shu. There was indeed a sword inside. The man reached out to open the scabbard, and the long sword inside was still extremely sharp.
Then he closed the scabbard, handed the sword to Li Shu, and said with a smile, "Here, this is my gift to you!"
"For me?" Li Shu looked at the man in disbelief. "This sword looks well-maintained. I can tell you love it very much. Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
Howie smiled and nodded seriously, "Of course, I won't lie to you."
"Why?"
"As you know, I usually fight star beasts in beast form now, and it's hard to find someone stronger than me in the entire galaxy right now. To be honest, this sword doesn't do much for me."
"But you're different. You don't have a beast form, so you can only rely on brute force. This sword can cut through insects like mud, so it's a very useful self-defense tool for you."
"I've wanted to give it to you for a long time, but because we haven't come to the Imperial Star, we've been delayed. Now that you're here this time, take this sword with you. This way, if you encounter any danger in the future, I won't have to worry too much."
Hearing what Huo Wei said, Li Shu stopped being polite with him. He reached out and took the sword from Huo Wei, smiling and saying, "I will definitely pay attention to safety in the future."
After Li Shu took the sword, the sword was the only thing in his eyes. There was an irresistible surprise in his eyes. This sword that could cut through iron like mud was something that was hard to come by, but now it was his!
Happy!
Seeing this, Huo Wei helplessly pulled Li Shu, who was eager to try, and whispered, "Let's go back first. If you want to try the effect of this sword, I will accompany you then. Let's go now, someone is coming here soon."
Upon hearing this, Li Shu nodded hurriedly, and then he and Huo Wei left one after another.
Finally, Howie took another deep look at the house, said his final goodbye to it, then turned around and left without hesitation.
Back at Lin Yong's lab, Li Shu immediately found a large open space, drew his sword, and performed a few moves. He then beckoned to Huo Wei, "Come on, let's have a fight."
Huo Wei smiled and walked over to stand opposite him. Li Shu was stunned and asked, "Aren't you going to turn into a star beast?"
Howie raised his eyes slightly, his eyes full of arrogance, "We can talk about it first if you can beat me in human form."
Li Shu sneered. Since the other party was so arrogant, he would teach him a lesson on how to behave!
Fifteen minutes later, Li Shu lay on the ground in a state of disbelief, his eyes filled with disbelief. "This is unrealistic! I'm holding a sword and using my supernatural powers, so why can't I beat you?"
Huo Wei's face was full of smiles. "Don't be sad, this is normal. After all, I am the God of War!"
Huo Wei became more and more casual in front of Li Shu, even cracking some harmless jokes. "Get up, let's keep sparring. Maybe in these few months, I can improve your abilities. That way, when we encounter bugs and fight them, you'll have a better chance of survival!"
Li Shu sighed helplessly, but he also knew that Huo Wei was telling the truth, so he staggered to his feet and continued to fight with him.
Fighting is actually a two-way thing. You beat me once, and I beat you once. Only in this way will there be motivation to continue. If it is one-sided and the other side sees no chance of winning, then the whole person will slack off.
Li Shu is in such a state now. He has been fighting with Huo Wei for a week and he has been losing all the time. This makes Li Shu have no mood to continue fighting with him. In order to avoid the other party's intention to let him train, Li Shu even hid in Chen Liang's secret room.
After this period of recuperation, Chen Liang's risk rate has dropped to 80%. At the same time, he also knows that Li Shu is his savior. When he sees Li Shu, he immediately rushes towards him excitedly.
Li Shu looked at Chen Liang rushing towards him, thinking that it had gone mad. His expression instantly became extremely serious. He made an attacking posture and was ready to face Chen Liang. The man and the beast froze in place, staring at each other.
