Chapter 250: Covering Up Again and Again



Stephen reached Howard's door and knocked.

"Xiao Huo Lie, it's me, your Uncle Stephen."

Huo Lu opened the door and said, "Uncle, I changed my name. From now on, I will be Huo Lu."

Although Stephen is good at Chinese, there are so many Chinese characters with the same pronunciation that he doesn't know which one it is.

"What's your new name, Jue?"

Huo Lu returned to his study desk and wrote the word "Lu" stroke by stroke in his small notebook.

"The sun and the moon have risen, but the fire is still burning. The fire is still burning, which is usually used in the context of courtesy and selflessness."

Stephen: "The word 爝 has a good meaning, much better than the word 烈, and it also echoes your supernatural power."

Huo Lu: "You know my special ability? Then you must have visited my brother. Is he okay now?"

Stephen: "Huo Zhan is your brother, why did you attack him?"

"Bah! With your brother's character, why are those Huos still protecting him?"

After listening to Huo Lu's story, Stephen immediately regretted it.

"If I had known, I shouldn't have treated him. Saving this scumbag has stained my hands."

"Also, you can't stay here anymore. You've already fallen out with each other. Your brother will definitely cause trouble for you all the time. Move to my place."

Huo Lu thought about it and felt that it was indeed safer with Stephen than with the Huo family.

The servants in the Huo family obeyed Huo Zhan's orders.

With the enemy camp, it is impossible to defend against it.

Huo Lu packed his things, picked up a small suitcase, and followed Stephen away.

"Master, are you just going to let the young master leave with Stephen Clover?"

Huo Qiqi followed behind Huo Yulang. She didn’t understand why the head of the family let the young master leave?

"He didn't have superpowers before, so everyone chose to give up on him and even protected his murderer. But even if he awakened his superpowers, we would still give up on him if we encountered this situation."

This home belongs to Mr. Huo and Huo Yufa, and they have put all their efforts into Huo Zhan.

Huo Zhan didn't like his younger brother, and for the sake of the family's financial power, he might plot to murder Huo Lu.

Now that Huo Lu has awakened his supernatural powers, Huo Zhan's position is also threatened.

In the past, Huo Zhan was still planning secretly, but once what happened last night was exposed, he would deal with Huo Lu openly from now on.

For Huo Yulang, both sides of his hand are his flesh and blood. When brothers fight, it would be wrong for him to help whoever he helps.

And even if he wanted to help Huo Lu, he couldn't.

Because he is only the head of the family, he still has to listen to the clan leader.

Fourteen years later.

After staying in the forest of Yan Jun's space for three days, everyone could feel that their strength had improved significantly.

Then Huo Lu called back all the team members who were outside, and went into the forest again to start hunting monsters and spirit beasts, improving his combat power through life-and-death struggles.

Today, a few people just killed a nest of Swift Rabbits, a kind of creature with wind-related spiritual power.

It was already time to go to bed, but except for Huo Lu, no one else slept well.

When Huo Lu was awakened from a short dream, he found that no one was asleep yet.

Shi Yan: "Hey, you are dreaming again? What did you dream about this time?"

Huo Lu was lying on a mat made of weeds. Hearing this, he sat up.

"I thought the first time I saw her was when she came walking on the moon, but the first time I saw her was in the Huo family's castle. She pretended to be my maid and brought me a glass of milk."

Suddenly, there were slight noises all around, and Huo Lu looked towards Lin Jinzhi.

The latter was holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand and cracking them while listening to Huo Lu's talk.

Lin Jinzhi saw the storyteller looking at her, "Don't stop, continue, what happened?"

Jiang Li didn't understand why Lin Jinzhi had melon seeds in her hand, but that didn't stop her from cracking them.

Jiang Li snatched half of the melon seeds from Lin Jinzhi's hand, and then pricked up his ears to listen to Huo Lu's story.

The others were not asleep either, so they all got up to listen to bedtime stories.

"She said at the time that the glass of milk was good for my health, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I thought drinking more milk would help me grow taller. But after she gave me superpowers, I moved out and lived in an elder's house, where I encountered a dangerous situation once."

"That elder was a healer. One day, one of his good friends was injured and came to him for treatment. He gave me two candies. I was young at the time, so I ate one and left the other for the healer."

Lin Jinzhi raised her hand, "I know, is that candy poisonous? And you're fine after eating it, but your elders will suffer after eating it."

Huo Lu nodded, "Yes, but luckily he has the ability of healing, otherwise... I am not immune to all poisons, but why didn't I get poisoned that time? It must be because of the glass of milk!"

In that poisoning incident, Stephen caught his friend.

Under torture, they learned that it was Huo Zhan who did it.

Stephen took him to the Huo family's castle to ask them for justice.

Then the people of the Huo family chose to protect Huo Zhan again.

Only that time the victim was not Horatio Hoffmann, but Stephen Cloverfield.

People with healing abilities are extremely rare, and even in the Ability Alliance, they are the ones that everyone wants to make friends with.

Not to mention that Stephen Clover is the only level eight healing psychic, someone that even the elders want to curry favor with.

The Huo family wanted to protect Huo Zhan, but Stephen Clover would not agree.

As soon as Stephen Clover left the Hoffman family, he immediately spread the news that the eldest grandson of the Hoffman family hired someone to kidnap his younger brother and hired someone to poison his younger brother in order to seek the family property.

The Huo family is recognized as one of the strongest families in the supernatural world. After this incident, many families are keeping their eyes on the Huo family.

Only then did Huo Zhan not dare to take action again.

Yan Cheng felt a little hungry, so he took out the Swift Rabbit he had prepared earlier and started roasting the rabbit.

While Yan Cheng was turning the roasted rabbit over and sprinkling salt on it, he asked Huo Lu, "What do you think of Huo Zhan's outcome? I don't believe you will let him go so easily."

Huo Lu looked at the fire. "How could I let him go? When I trained my supernatural power to level two, I went back to the Huo family and challenged him. I won, and he lost. He is an ice element, and his body temperature is much lower than that of ordinary people. And human blood vessels expand when heated and contract when cooled. He must have stayed in bed for a year or so after that battle."

We have to thank Stephen here. He is the leader among the healing psychics. He directly said that no one is allowed to go to the Huo family to treat Huo Zhan.

Shi Ling bit his thumb nail, and suddenly he felt that he couldn't face Huo Lu.

"Huo Lu, there is one thing I need to tell you. After all the blood vessels in Huo Zhan's limbs ruptured, no one went to treat him. As you all know, we who go to the spiritual world have basic supernatural powers, including healing. Then I went to the Huo family's castle."
