1803: Maimed

Maimed

"She has hurt Huo Qi's right hand. How is he going to take part in the shooting test?" Huo Qi's father looked at Huo Yao with fury spewing from his eyes. 0

It was the test to be the future clan leader!

How could she openly hurt his son's hand?

Huo Yulin glanced at Huo Qi. "Accidents might happen. Huo Qi said it himself."

Huo Qi's face froze upon hearing Huo Yulin's words.

But Huo Qi's father refused to listen to Huo Yulin. "Accidents happen? She deliberately did that to my son's right hand. Are you saying it was just an accident?"

He clearly told her to stop, but she refused to let go of his son.

How could he believe it was just some random accident?

Huo Qi's father inhaled deeply. When he saw the other elders walk over, he clenched his fists and nodded to them. He pointed at Huo Qi's hand and said, "Look at Huo Qi's hand… You have to uphold justice for him."

The Eldest Elder placed his hands behind him. He glanced at Huo Qi and his son before looking at Huo Yao and Huo Yulin. He said mildly, "If he wasn't good enough, he shouldn't have fought her."

Huo Qi's father's eyes constricted in disbelief. "Eldest Elder, Huo Qi still has to take part in the shooting test later…"

"If he knew he had a shooting test later, why did he agree to fight? He should've already guessed that he might get hurt in the fight. Now that this has happened, he can only blame himself." The old man showed no sympathy whatsoever.

Although he wished Huo Qi could have finished off Master Jinfeng's niece, it turned out… Things had clearly backfired for Huo Qi.

How could he take sides with Huo Qi publicly?

Moreover, according to the family rules, if a challenge was accepted, they could fight to death.

"That's not true. Miss Huo deliberately broke my son's hand!" said Huo Qi's father in an attempt to explain the situation.

"Enough. Rather than waste time arguing, your time will be better spent getting a doctor to treat your boy." Eldest Elder was clearly losing his patience.

He glanced at the time and stopped harping on the subject with Huo Qi and his father.

Instead, he said to the others, "It's almost time for the shooting test. Those taking part should go to the shooting range and get ready. Stop hanging around here."

When Huo Qi's father saw his reaction, he knew it was impossible for him to seek justice for Huo Qi. He could only angrily leave the training grounds with his son.

As for the shooting test, he probably could not take part in it.

The Eldest Elder shook his head and walked off the fighting ring.

They should not have underestimated Master Jinfeng's niece. She had effortlessly broken Huo Qi's arm. Just this alone was enough for her to gain standing in the clan.

In hindsight, Huo Qi had just offered himself as a stepping stone for her.

Meanwhile, inside the surveillance control room.

"I told you Miss Huo was good, right? She can settle everything without our help."

Huo Changfeng was dressed in black and looked proud. He replayed the footage of Huo Yao breaking Huo Qi's hand effortlessly again.

There was a wheelchair with a man sitting in it in front of him. When the man heard Huo Changfeng talking as though he knew everything about Miss Huo, the smile on the man's face promptly disappeared.

"I never knew you knew so much." The man spoke airily.

Huo Changfeng was still in a daze. "Master Jinfeng, what did you just say?"

The man looked expressionless. "Hmph."

Huo Changfeng went speechless.

He did not recall saying anything wrong, right?
