1794: Appalling Double Standards

Appalling Double Standards

Huo Yao looked at them with complicated emotions flooding her heart. "What about Brother Yulin?"1

Why did she suddenly feel she was being pushed into this?

"The more candidates we have, the higher the chance, right?" Huo Changfeng already knew Huo Yao's temperament well. "Moreover, we don't know when your uncle will regain consciousness. If anything goes wrong… the two of you can still help."

Huo Yao replied immediately. "I still have three other older brothers, you know?"

There were enough people in the family for a mahjong table worth of potential candidates, let alone one more.

Huo Changfeng went speechless.

Huo Yulin turned his head and pretended not to see Uncle Changfeng facing severe resistance to his proposal.

His little sister was always so mischievous.

Huo Changfeng choked helplessly. He quietly looked at Huo Yao for some time without talking.

Huo Yao finally caved in. "Fine. I'll try."

She was powerless against elders when they shamelessly demanded things from her.

Huo Changfeng smiled, but he quickly cleared his throat and put on a serious face.

"The first test is combat and shooting. Yaoyao, you've never taken special training for either of them and you don't have time to learn at the last minute. When the time comes, just surrender and focus on the later part of the test."

Huo Changfeng knew from Chen Ming that Miss Huo was an excellent fighter. However, she was probably quite some distance from the rest of the family who had been trained since young in this field.

As for shooting, Huo Wanying was the best in her generation, so Huo Yao's odds were even lower.

Huo Yao's attitude was always laid back. When she heard what Uncle Changfeng said, she simply nodded obediently. "Okay, Uncle Changfeng."

Huo Changfeng suddenly felt very guilty for making Huo Yao go through this. He paused and continued. "Don't give yourself too much pressure."

Huo Yulin quietly glanced at his uncle and could not help griping. "You've never comforted me before like this."

His double standards were simply appalling.

Huo Changfeng promptly put on a serious look. "Young Master Yulin, don't worry. I will personally supervise your training for the next few days."

Huo Yulin did not know what to say.

He seriously suspected that he had just shot himself in the foot.

For the next few days, Huo Yulin got to enjoy some extra attention and personal supervision.

Huo Yao continued spending all her free time working on her robot. She acted flawlessly as though she did not know anything.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the test to commence.

The test was taking place at the Huo family's training grounds.

At 10:00 am, everyone gathered at the training grounds. Other than the elders and some of the councilors, a lot of elites from the family were also present there.

The Eldest Elder was dressed in a black suit on this day. He glanced at the candidates sitting nearby and noticed two empty seats. He could not help frowning as he asked his subordinate. "Aren't Miss Huo and Young Master Yulin here yet?"

The subordinate raised his head and glanced around. He replied softly. "Perhaps they were held up."

The Eldest Elder checked the time and said sternly, "At 10:00 am sharp, if they are still not here, they will fail the test."

The moment he finished his sentence, Huo Yao and Huo Yulin appeared on the training grounds.

They practically arrived on the dot.

"They're here," said a subordinate.

The old man flung his sleeves. Even though he was not happy, he did not say anything.

Before long, the official test started.

Hand-to-hand combat was a test of fighting abilities. The opponents would be chosen through a draw.

"No matter who you get, just admit defeat first, okay?" As Huo Yulin went to draw a lot, he kept reminding his little sister.
