Wei Jingyao had lived in the Huo family for sixteen years. She was very familiar with the Huo family, and the guards of the Huo family were also familiar with her. Therefore, she easily avoided most of the guards and sneaked out of the Huo family's main castle, and came to the door of a villa not far from the main castle.
Taking advantage of the brief moment when the patrolling guards were crossing each other, she knocked on the door of the villa.
In the villa.
Although it was almost two o'clock, the hall of the villa was brightly lit. A middle-aged man and a young couple were sitting on the sofa in the living room, and several men dressed as guards were standing around.
At this time, the middle-aged man was talking to one of the young girls.
The middle-aged man, Xie Hengyuan, frowned and said, "Didn't you say that Huo Zhenchuan's body could only hold out until tonight? It's almost two o'clock now, why is there no movement over there?"
The girl, Xie Lingyun, sat upright on the sofa and said calmly, "It seems that the Huo family's background is deeper than we imagined. They can actually allow Huo Zhenchuan to persist until now. But it's almost over."
"Huo Zhenchuan is a mortal, and already at the end of his strength. If he doesn't expel the ancient martial arts from his second uncle first, he won't be able to hold on for much longer even with the elixir."
Xie Hengyuan felt a little relieved.
That’s true.
He is now close to the ninth level of ancient martial arts, which is considered good in the ancient martial arts world, let alone here.
Although many large families now have ancient warriors guarding them, without sufficient resources, being able to cultivate to the seventh level of ancient martial arts is the limit. At the eighth level, it is an insurmountable chasm. It is basically impossible for an ancient warrior to cross this hurdle unless he is extremely talented or has special opportunities.
He didn't think the Huo family could find an ancient warrior with strength greater than his.
Then just wait patiently.
"But..." Xie Hengyuan hesitated. "Do you think the Huo family really knows the whereabouts of that child? I've searched everywhere these past two days and haven't found any suspicious people. Could it be that the child isn't even in the Huo family?"
Xie Lingyun's brows furrowed slightly.
This is also what she is worried about.
They came out with a mission this time, which was to find the child who was sent away. The most likely place was the Huo family, the wife of the old patriarch's family.
If they couldn't find it at the Huo family, they wouldn't know where to look.
Xie Lingyun pondered for a moment, pinched her fingers together, and after a flash of light, an ancient jade lamp appeared in her hand.
He turned and looked at the young man beside him.
Young Xie Jilin: "..."
With a dark face, he pricked his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood into the ancient lamp.
A flash of blood.
The three of them thought that this time would be the same as every time before, but the next moment a bright red light flashed, instantly lighting up the entire ancient lamp.
The red light was brilliant, as bright as blood, so bright that it almost blinded the three people's eyes.
"Found it!!!" Xie Hengyuan stood up in a flash, his excitement evident. He couldn't help but punch his right palm with his left fist, "The person is indeed in the Huo family!"
Xie Jilin was a little confused and said blankly, "Why didn't I have any reaction in the past few days, but suddenly it happened today?"
Xie Lingyun's expression remained unchanged, but she straightened her back a little more. She said calmly, "We in the ancient martial arts world all have to go out sometimes. Since she is in the Huo family, she will naturally go out as well."
She smiled and looked at Xie Hengyuan: "It seems that Second Uncle's palm strike was correct."
Xie Hengyuan was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted and immediately burst into laughter: "Yes! That's right!"
He snorted coldly, "He's indeed the brother of that woman Huo Jinyu. Just like her, he's not a bit honest. He even said he's never seen anyone before. As soon as someone got hurt here, he ran back without caring about the danger. No one would believe that he has never seen anyone before!"
Xie Lingyun didn't take it too seriously and said casually, "After all, he's our child. It's only natural that he wouldn't want to return him to us. Just find him and don't worry about anything else."
"Nothing is more important than the tribe's affairs now."
Xie Hengyuan was a little angry at first, but he immediately suppressed his emotions after hearing this and nodded heavily, "You are right."
He couldn't help but reveal a smug smile: "No matter how talented and brilliant Mr. Xie Chu is, as long as we hold his daughter firmly in our hands, we will see how he can compete with Big Brother for the position of clan leader!"
Hearing this, even someone as calm as Xie Lingyun couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
Xie Hengyuan is her second uncle, and his eldest brother is her father.
As long as her father becomes the new patriarch of the Xie family, she, as his only daughter, is the best among the younger generation in the family in terms of talent and prestige. It is very likely that she will be directly appointed as the young patriarch, and then their lineage will be truly rising.
The days of the third branch being the only dominant family will become history...
But these are all things for the future. What we need to consider now is: "Huo Zhenchuan would rather die than reveal the whereabouts of his uncle's daughter. Even if he comes back now, I'm afraid he will try to stop us. Although the Huo family's ancient martial arts power is not as strong as ours, this is the Huo family's territory. If they insist on stopping us, I'm afraid it will cause us a lot of trouble."
"Let's first think about how to find him and bring him back to the family."
As soon as Xie Lingyun finished speaking, she heard a knock on the door, and her heart suddenly moved.
Xie Hengyuan laughed out loud: "It's really like someone is offering a pillow just as I dozed off. Here it comes."
He stood up and walked out, saying, "You are the only one who can save Huo Zhenchuan. If that girl doesn't want to see Huo Zhenchuan die, she will have to follow us obediently."
Xie Lingyun was completely relieved, with a faint smile on her lips.
But unexpectedly, the person who appeared outside the door was not the butler or servant of the Huo family as they thought, but a girl who looked about the same age as Xie Lingyun.
Who else could it be but Wei Jingyao?
The Huo family guards were only there for less than half a minute. Wei Jingyao didn't dare to linger outside. As soon as the villa door opened, she immediately slipped in and said quickly, "I know where the person you are looking for is!"
Xie Hengyuan paused in his move to stop her, exchanged a look with Xie Lingyun, and closed the door of the villa, allowing the girl to enter.
To be honest, Wei Jingyao was a little suspicious of this group of people, so he didn't dare to keep them in suspense. As soon as he stopped, he quickly said the words he had prepared in advance.
"The person you're looking for is surnamed Xie. She's currently in the guest room next to the master's room. According to the Huo family elders, she looks quite similar to the Huo Jinyu you mentioned. Once you see her, you'll know whether what I'm saying is true or not."
After a pause, he continued, "If you want to find her, you have to hurry up. She will definitely leave the Huo family tomorrow at the latest, and we don't know when she will come back."
