He Zongyan, however, didn't care and walked ahead with a blank expression. Those unruly young people were instead scolded by the elders who had brought them here.
Someone came closer and whispered something in He Zongyan's ear, causing him to cast a cold glance towards the rest area.
He Sisi had already stood up nervously, twisting her fingers nervously, looking at him with admiration and expectation.
He Zongyan paused slightly, but didn't say anything. Instead, he led the way and left.
He Sisi hung her head in sadness, her entire being radiating an air of "I'm unhappy." She had known from a young age that she was the daughter of a war hero, the darling of all. The He family truly cherished her, pampering her to the hilt, giving her everything she desired.
Even her second uncle and second aunt, who had the most power, treated her as their own daughter and did not despise her at all for being a fatherless child.
She didn't know it before, but now she understands that the reason why her uncle and aunt treat her better than their own daughter is because her most admired father is still alive. Not only is he alive, but he has become such a mysterious and powerful person that he has surpassed ordinary people.
Dad is the real master of the He family, in charge of the other side of the power. The core secrets, power, and resources of the He family are all in Dad's hands.
It took He Sisi a long time to accept that the world was not what she thought it was, and that secret arts really existed.
Just like the legend.
Finally, she was going to see the father she had admired for so long. She thought that the father and daughter would finally meet and she would be very excited, and she would receive her father's loving eyes. But at this moment, He Sisi only felt embarrassed.
The look in the father's eyes just now did not show the excitement of his own daughter at all.
He Sisi's always proud self-esteem was hurt by the indifference and alienation in He Zongyan's eyes.
"Miss." Someone came over, "The general wants to see you, please follow me."
He Sisi was a little angry. She didn't care to respond to any requests or coaxing when the eldest daughter got angry. But when she thought of the look in her father's eyes just now, she finally followed him obediently.
After He Zongyan and his group left, Cao Xiaohua and Dong Xiaoming went up to support Cao Jialin.
There was no way. Cao Jialin almost lost his life last time due to injury, and he still hadn’t fully recovered after more than two months of recuperation.
"How is it? What did you say?" Cao Xiaohua asked curiously.
Just as the three of them were leaving the gate, Cao Jialin turned around and pointed at the signs hanging on both sides of the gate. The original words had changed to "Natural Heritage Conservation Association" and "Natural Miracle Club" without knowing when.
Cao Xiaohua gasped, "So we compromised with the long-tailed swallows?" How is this possible?
"What else can we do if we don't compromise? A few more lives?" Cao Jialin sneered, "Haha! A hundred years ago, the Long-tailed Swallows were the ones who had the final say. We simply took advantage of their weakness to steal their power. Now that they've returned, it's only natural that we want to take it back."
After saying this, he bared his teeth and muttered quietly, "That's too cruel! Why didn't anyone tell us before that there was a bullshit hunting group for the long-tailed swallows? We've all suffered such a huge loss."
"So, someone really died?" Unless someone was killed, the Hermit Society would never compromise.
This is only possible if one cannot bear the pain of death and if one does not compromise, death will come upon one's own head.
Oh! Now it’s renamed as a club.
Cao Jialin bared his teeth again, "Nonsense, I'm not the worst uncle. I almost died, so it's normal for someone to play with their life." When he thought of that dark night, the long-tailed swallow's long hair fluttered in the night wind, stepping on blood and lives to eliminate the traitors...
Cao Jialin shuddered.
