Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Huo Wen’an seemed not quite himself.

He had always thought that Huo Wuyi was just a little piglet. Unexpectedly, it also held secrets.

"Is that your elder brother?" Xu Xingguang also noticed the man lying on the ground, swearing.

"Yes." Huo Wen’an said, "He spat at Fearless earlier, and Fearless ran into him."

"Serves him right."

The couple went downstairs together.

Zheng Lie and the others had already gotten up, but they had all gone to the training field. Currently, only the housekeeper Shenyin Xia was at the Pilot Mansion.

Seeing Huo Wen’an and Xu Xingguang awake, Shenyin Xia personally brought them two cups of warm tea. "Lord Captain, Miss Xu, are you going for morning exercises? Have some water to moisten your throats before you go."

Having a cup of warm water before morning exercise was a gentle habit of Xu Xingguang.

After living together for a long time, their habits tended to align, and Huo Wen’an had now become like Xu Xingguang.

The two of them finished their warm tea in one go, placing the cups on the tray that Shenyin Xia was holding. Huo Wen’an glanced outside, asking, "What’s happening outside?"

The foundation of the Pilot Mansion had been raised by several meters. From the hall, one could overlook the vast, endless grassland beyond the steps. Seeing the person kneeling on the ground, Shenyin Xia smiled reservedly and only said, "That’s Mister. He came here to kneel at four thirty in the morning, saying he wanted to apologize to the old Sir and you."

"Apologize..."

Huo Wen’an sneered, "A little rascal demands retribution at the door, and he only now thinks to apologize."

Shaking his head, Huo Wen’an said, "Let him wait."

Seeing Huo Wuyi coming in from the barrier-free passage beside the steps, Huo Wen’an called out deeply, "Fearless!"

Huo Wuyi stopped, glanced towards the hall, then trotted over, whining. Huo Wen’an bent down to rub Huo Wuyi’s big ears and asked Shenyin Xia, "When does its training start today?"

"From seven thirty to nine thirty in the morning, with a forty-minute break in between, then continues till noon. In the afternoon, it’s his sleeping time, and after dinner, it undergoes two hours of swimming training."

Shenyin Xia actually didn’t agree with Huo Wen’an planning training courses for Huo Wuyi. Other noble family kids were not as hardworking as Huo Wuyi.

Shenyin Xia earnestly persuaded Huo Wen’an, "Lord Captain, Fearless is just a pig. Some exercises can indeed be beneficial, but why train it like a warrior?"

"It’s just a pig, what can you expect from it?"

Huo Wuyi suddenly looked up at Shenyin Xia, eyes sparkling, as if hearing celestial music from the Human World.

Exactly, exactly, it’s just a little pig. Why arrange so much training?

Huo Wen’an hugged Huo Wuyi’s big pig head and pressed its pig nose with force, speaking sincerely to it, "Who says our Fearless is just a pig? I think it’s so clever, maybe it has the soul of a smart and cute person inside?"

"Who knows, perhaps it might get the chance to be human again in the future. We’re giving it some preemptive training, just in case."

Shenyin Xia closed his eyes and thought to himself, Crazy.

The level of affection that Lord Captain has for his little pet has reached a crazy extent.

And after hearing Huo Wen’an’s little speech, Huo Wuyi actually showed a ’thoughtful’ expression in its eyes.

Xu Xingguang constantly paid attention to Huo Wuyi’s emotional changes. Capturing the shift in Huo Wuyi’s gaze, her heart stirred. "Brother A Zui, let’s go, time for training."

"Yes."

The training field of the Pilot Mansion was akin to the training fields of the Imperial City military, fully equipped, spacious, and backed by a mountain. Every morning, the guards of the Pilot Mansion would do morning exercises there.

Huo Yunsheng kneeled in front of the Pilot Mansion for over two hours, and not seeing anyone from the Pilot Mansion issuing a call, he knew that Huo Wen’an was deliberately avoiding him.

He knew Huo Wen’an would be doing morning exercises at the training field at this time, so with the company of the housekeeper, Shenyin Cheng, he staggered over to the training field.

When he arrived, Huo Wen’an was doing pull-ups on the horizontal bar.

Xu Xingguang was on another bar doing pull-ups, while Zheng Qin, biting a cigarette, stood in between them, counting. "Miss Xu, you’ve done 110."

Zheng Qin looked at Huo Wen’an with a subtle expression, suppressing a laugh, "Lord Captain, you’ve done 97."

Noticing that the Captain’s breath was already somewhat irregular, while Miss Xu remained composed, Zheng Qin took the cigarette from his mouth and said meaningfully, "Lord Captain, you’re not up to it."

Huo Wen’an had been ill for three years, and his body hadn’t fully recovered. Being able to do more than ninety pull-ups in one go—it was his male pride pushing him to keep going.
