Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Xu Xingguang kept it brief: "Let me put it this way, the current Huo Family is actually descended from the Divine Hidden Clan. The Divine Hidden Emperor is the old ancestor of the Huo Family."

Huo Canghai found it unbelievable.

"Is this really true?" he eagerly sought the truth from Huo Wen’an.

Huo Wen’an nodded, "Yes, that’s the case."

Huo Canghai patted his chest on his own, exclaiming, "It’s truly unexpected that our Huo Family is actually the descendants of the Divine Hidden Emperor!"

Recalling the ancient legend about Divine Concealment Island, Huo Canghai murmured, "It’s said that before the last emperor fell, he hid his ultimate weapon on Divine Concealment Island."

"The last emperor should be the Divine Hidden Emperor. So, the place where he hid things is the Central Cave?"

Though Huo Canghai was old, his mind grew sharper, and he quickly guessed the real reason Huo Wen’an and the others wanted to explode the Central Cave.

"Yes, there’s a coffin in the Sacrificial Tower, and inside is the testament left by the Divine Hidden Emperor himself. It states that before he fell, he hid the entire capital city of the Divine Hidden Dynasty under the Central Cave."

"Father, we must explore what’s hidden beneath this Central Cave." Huo Wen’an had made up his mind and came to inform Huo Canghai, not to discuss it with him.

"Alright." Huo Canghai said, "I’ll go too."

Huo Wen’an looked at Huo Canghai’s old legs, which wobbled even when walking, and said bluntly, "Forget it, if there’s real danger, carrying Xingguang is already challenging enough, let alone you."

Huo Canghai glared at him, "Rascal!"

Huo Wen’an chuckled silently.

Andariel, however, said, "We indeed need to go to the Central Cave, but can we delay for a day?" Tomorrow is Huo Wen’an’s birthday, and Andariel had never spent a birthday with her child.

Andariel’s eyes reddened slightly, she looked at Huo Wen’an and said, "Can you let your mother celebrate your birthday with you before going?"

Huo Wen’an couldn’t bear to refuse his mother’s request, he exchanged a glance with Xu Xingguang, saw Xu Xingguang nod, and said, "Alright, we’ll move tomorrow night."

"Good." Andariel felt relieved.

Huo Canghai suddenly said, "You and your brothers have never met. Since you’re planning a birthday banquet, why not invite them all over."

After pausing, he added, "Except for Huo Yunsheng."

"That’s fine."

Only after their conversation ended did Song Chi manage to soothe Mrs. Huo and enter the palace.

Upon entering, he saw Huo Canghai, sitting in a wheelchair, staring at him intently with cloudy eyes. Song Chi’s lips moved up and down before he reluctantly and awkwardly called out, "Grandfather."

Huo Canghai tugged at his mouth, "Hmm."

Seeing Andariel was also there, Song Chi looked at Andariel’s face, which appeared even younger and more beautiful than his biological mother, and couldn’t bring himself to call her ’Grandmother.’

Song Chi finally just addressed her as "Your Highness."

Andariel smiled faintly, "Alright, Song Chi, since you’re here, stay and have dinner with your uncle and the others."

Song Chi replied, "The first lady invited me to have dinner at her place tonight, and I promised to go."

Andariel smiled contently, "She’s your biological mother; if you wish to be close to her, then go."

"Alright."

Song Chi stayed in Moon Palace for a while before asking to be escorted to have dinner with the first lady.

Huo Wen’an and Xu Xingguang stayed to have dinner at Moon Palace, and during the meal, Huo Wen’an informed Huo Canghai and Andariel: "Xingguang and I plan to get married in mid-October, but we haven’t decided on the exact date."

"Why don’t you two choose a date for us."

Hearing this, Andariel smiled instinctively and warmly showed Xu Xingguang an elegant smile of joy. She raised her glass to Xu Xingguang, "Xingguang, welcome to our big family."

Xu Xingguang held her glass up, not clinking it with Andariel, but looking up at Huo Canghai.

This matter needed Huo Canghai’s nod of approval.

Receiving Xu Xingguang’s gaze, a struggle, hesitation, and indecisiveness flashed in Huo Canghai’s eyes.

Finally, he also raised his glass, clinking it from a distance with Xu Xingguang, and entrusted with his last words, "Little fox, please take good care of Huo Wen’an and Lili."

Hearing this, Xu Xingguang’s eyes deepened.

After Huo Canghai passed, she would be the closest to Andariel and Huo Wen’an.

Having lived several lifetimes, Xu Xingguang was considered an old monster, and in her eyes, Andariel really was still a young person.

Nodding, Xu Xingguang said, "Rest assured, I won’t betray your son’s love, and I will cherish and respect Her Highness. If you’re not here, I will protect them."

Huo Canghai was satisfied.

He should be entrusting Andariel to Huo Wen’an.

But instinct told Huo Canghai that Xu Xingguang was the future cohesive force in this family.

If Xu Xingguang was well, then Huo Wen’an would be well.

If everything was well with Huo Wen’an, then Andariel would live well too.

"I think October 18th is a good day." Huo Canghai made the final decision, "Let’s have the wedding on that day. Prepare the guest list if you want to invite anyone, and when your mother and I have nothing to do, we can help you with the wedding invitations."

"As for the rest, if you trust us, feel free to leave it to us." Huo Canghai looked at his princess, unable to hide his pride, and said, "Your mother is very good at organizing banquets."

Andariel nodded repeatedly.

That evening, Huo Wen’an gave Andariel the WeChat contact from the wedding company.

Being added as a friend by Andariel and learning that their team might become the wedding company for the Huo Family Leader’s wedding banquet, the other party responded with boundless enthusiasm, brimming with ideas.

Knowing her son would only have one wedding in his lifetime, Andariel was thrilled, spending most of the night discussing detailed plans with the team, only going to sleep when Huo Canghai took her phone away.

The next day, Xu Xingguang arrived early at Moon Palace to help Andariel prepare for Huo Wen’an’s birthday banquet, only to be pulled into the study by Andariel to select wedding banquet plans.

Seeing the endless files of wedding plans, Xu Xingguang truly realized she was really going to get married.
