Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Ye Mingluo squinted his eyes, sternly reminding Song Chi: "Song Chi, you need to know what to say and what not to say."

Song Chi pursed his lips and teased Ye Mingluo, "You usually seem as foolish as Huo Wuyi, I really thought you were a big fool. The way you look now, you finally have a bit of the style of the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor."

"Doctor Ye, please keep it up."

Ye Mingluo: "..."

Ye Mingluo suddenly reverted to his silly and sweet demeanor, he wrapped his arm around Song Chi’s shoulder and jokingly asked: "Are you also envious of the commotion outside?"

Song Chi nodded and asked him: "Aren’t you envious?"

Is Ye Mingluo envious?

Of course he is!

But his surname is Ye, not Huo. No matter how much he tries, he can never possess the power and status of Huo Wen’an.

But Song Chi is different, Song Chi is the legitimate eldest grandson of the Huo Family. If he truly risked his life to fight for it, he might really turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

Ye Mingluo worried that Song Chi might develop ambitions similar to Huo Wenbei’s.

Song Chi knew perfectly well what Ye Mingluo was thinking, he calmly and rationally said: "They respect Huo Wen’an, not the Young Master of the Huo Family. If it were Huo Wenbei, that fool, would you think they would still be as respectful?"

"What the Huo Family needs is not a fierce lone wolf but a leading wolf that can lead the pack into battle." Song Chi watched the figure of Huo Wen’an bending down to get out of the car and said respectfully, "He is both a fierce lone wolf and a leading wolf that can command the pack, and he can make people willingly submit."

"As for me." Song Chi shrugged, "Right now, I just want to turn my online romance into reality."

He’s been playing games with Bai Xi for so long, but he hasn’t found the chance to meet in reality.

He’s about to run out of patience.

Seeing Song Chi clear about his own situation, Ye Mingluo finally felt assured.

Huo Lan personally led Huo Wen’an and his group into the Huo Family Village. Knowing it was Huo Wen’an’s first time here, he said: "Pilot, this is the origin of the Huo Family. It’s said that generations of the Huo Family have lived around here."

"Going back hundreds of years, the Huo Family was just ordinary farmers, living off the mountains and rivers. At that time, Huo Family Village was inhabited entirely by the Huo Family people. Later, when the Huo Family became prosperous, they migrated to Divine Concealment Island but left some people in Huo Family Village."

"Later on, war broke out, and Xia Country was on the brink of defeat and ruin. With no other choice, the Lord Captain of the Huo Family led the entire clan to join the battle, with every Huo Family member aged 14 to 65 required to take up arms for the defense of the nation."

Upon saying this, Huo Lan paused for a long time.

Looking at the ancient city and monuments before him, he lamented, "After that long war ended, the number of Huo Family members decreased from twelve thousand to fourteen hundred."

"In the entire Huo Family Village, only 12 children were left because they were too young to be eligible for battle. Today, their descendants live in this ancient city, guarding it for generations."

What Huo Lan said was something Huo Wen’an had learned from history books.

But in the history books, the sacrifices of the Huo Family were summed up in just a few words.

Today, standing in the ancient city of Huo Family Village, looking everywhere only to see long and empty alleys without the vibrant presence of the Huo Family people, Huo Wen’an truly felt the weight of history and the cruelty of war.

He said nothing, accompanied by Xu Xingguang and Ye Mingluo and others, he walked into the Huo Family Helm Mansion and found forty or fifty people dressed in traditional Huo Family attire, standing uniformly at the entrance.

The eldest was an old woman with silver hair named Huo Jing, who, according to seniority, should call Huo Wen’an ’uncle.’

Huo Jing introduced each Huo Family member behind her to Huo Wen’an. After the introduction, she had them go into the yard to work, while she accompanied Huo Wen’an.

As they walked, Huo Jing sighed, "The last time someone from the island came was over twenty years ago. That time, your father, Lord Huo Canghai, brought your mother back to the old house for ancestral rites, and Lady Captain was pregnant with you then."

"In the blink of an eye, the Lord Captain has grown this much."

Hearing this, Huo Wen’an stopped walking and asked Huo Jing: "Where is the ancestral shrine?"

"The ancestral shrine is to the north of Huo Family Village, quite far from here." Huo Jing asked Huo Wen’an: "Lord Captain, do you want to go there now?"

Huo Wen’an held Xu Xingguang’s hand and said: "This is my beloved, and the future Lady Captain of Huo Family. Since I’ve brought her here, it’s right that we first pay respects to the Old Ancestor. Could you kindly lead the way?"
