"Family?"
Hua Anning bluntly stated, "You know better than I do. For Lele, the people in District Nine are more like family than we are."
Hua Lihan stared at her intently for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and looked at Hua Yuezhi:
"Did you all hear that, Third Brother?"
Learn from your sister, listen to what she says; that's what you should learn from her.
"Constantly taking responsibility and accepting punishment is the lowest-level tactic for a leader. Over the years, they haven't improved at all."
"You have disappointed me greatly."
Hua Yuezhi lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Father. I will work hard to improve and not let you down."
Hua Lihan sighed softly, his lips flat and his tone slightly cold: "If any one of you five brothers were like Ningning, I wouldn't be so disappointed."
After saying that, he paused for a moment, then said to Hua Anning:
“I’m not forcing Lele not to meet with them, but we must take the initiative.”
Chang Le cannot shake the authority of the Hua family and the region.
Hua Anning lowered her eyes and replied calmly, "I know."
Hua Yuezhi waved his hand: "Go, everyone."
Hua Anning pulled Hua Yuezhi along, and the two walked out together.
Hua Yuezhi looked dejected, his usually straight and upright posture now showing signs of fragility.
"Third Brother, don't overthink it," Hua Anning suddenly said.
She knew that among the Hua family members, Hua Yuezhi was the most rational and steady in his actions, but internally, he was the most prone to internal strife.
Because Hua Yuezhi is always the first to rush to the front and the first to take responsibility for anything, many people say that Hua Yuezhi is vain and pretentious.
But Hua Anning knew that he only felt that this was how he had value.
Hua Xiange's inferiority complex stems from her weakness, while Hua Yuezhi's unease arises from his own strength.
He was always afraid that, despite being strong enough, he couldn't do anything commensurate with that strength.
Hua Lihan's words were too heavy for him.
However, the Hua family's cruel education means that no one will tell him – you have already done very well.
Besides, flowers are always joyful.
He was the only person who would speak frankly about their pain and help them overcome it.
That was meant to be a consolation, but it was already Hua Anning's limit.
She herself had come from a river of blood and bones, and could not be like that special girl Lele, who could smile at others even though she was riddled with wounds.
She can't do it.
She wouldn't offer much comfort to Hua Yuezhi. Because she couldn't help but rebuke him for his cowardice in not daring to resist.
Hua Yuezhi's breathing tightened and then he exhaled for a moment: "It's nothing."
"Ningning," he looked at her, "Are you... alright?"
He was asking about the remark she heard Hua Lihan make, saying that the brothers were not as good as Hua Anning. It seemed like a compliment to Hua Anning, but it also carried an uncomfortable sense of disdain.
Hua Anning understood his meaning and chuckled lightly: "You think he looks down on women?"
Isn't that so? Hua Yuezhi was somewhat puzzled.
Hua Anning smiled faintly and shook her head: "You're wrong. Hua Lihan doesn't look down on women. I didn't know that before, but at least after meeting Wei Zi, he understood the power of women."
"When he said that, he was just telling me that it would be a thousand times more difficult for a woman to get to that position than for a man."
Hua Yuezhi suddenly understood something: "Father means, 'Let you...'"
Should Ningning inherit his position?
Hua Anning shrugged: "I don't know, who knows? But as a condition for Feng Huo Tang to receive the protection of the three districts, I have already tied myself to the Hua family."
"Hua Lihan's promise is that no matter who it is in the end, it will never affect my authority."
"Third brother, you should also think about yourself."
After saying that, Hua Anning turned and left, leaving Hua Yuezhi standing in the shadows in the corner, motionless for a long time.
——
Black Prison.
Hua Changle slowly regained his composure from the shock and took a sip of medicine to calm himself down.
Ugh, it's so bitter!
“Uh,” Hua Changle organized her thoughts.
"You and I, we've known each other since childhood? How old are you this year?"
Xue Wuwang said, "I met you when I had just taken human form. I had only been in human form for a little over ten years."
Hua Changle almost spat out a rainbow from a mouthful of medicine.
"Transform into human form!"
She was so scared she almost lost her teeth.
What the heck? Isn't this an urban fantasy novel?
How did it become a spirit? Did you even consult the founding emperor?
Xue Wuwang pointed to his eyes:
"I am a dragon, a red jade dragon. I am not human, but a beast in human form with divine beast blood."
Hua Changle pinched her philtrum, leaned against her pillow, and tried to breathe in oxygen.
These waves of shocks... oh, it seems like she's starting to get a brain!
A dragon! Good heavens, a real dragon has appeared.
How many more surprises does this world hold?
Xue Wuwang suddenly reached out, took her hand, and placed it on his forehead: "These are the horns that will grow after I transform into a dragon."
Huh? It feels nice to touch.
Hua Changle couldn't resist touching it a couple more times.
The texture is somewhat like that of deer antlers with a thin layer of down, only they haven't grown out yet.
Xue Wuwang bent down obediently, his silky red hair sliding down his bronze skin.
"When will it be able to transform into a dragon?" Hua Changle asked curiously.
Xue Wuwang paused for a moment, then said, "It requires an opportunity."
Hua Changle restrained himself and withdrew his hand, tentatively asking, "Can you tell me about my experiences in District Nine?"
Xue Wuwang said, "I can only tell you now that District Nine is your backing. You can trust the Dragon Faction of District Nine at any time."
