People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

208: Chapter 208 Yao Tian Questions His Existence! Venerable Yao, Someone is Looking for You”But since you already have a partner, Huo Zhi, then never mind.”

”Huo Zhi, just pretend like nothing ever happened.”

”Mm.” Huo Zhi raised her hand to retrieve a few Fire Beads and stuffed them into Yao Ling’s hand, smiling, ”I’m very happy you came to see me. This is a small gift I prepared for you.”

”Thank you, Huo Zhi.” Yao Ling beamed, thinking of finding an excuse to take her leave.

After all, she still cared about her own brother, Yao Tian, and didn’t want him to suffer a sound beating.

But sometimes, the more you don’t want something to happen, the more likely it is to occur.

Yao Tian spoke up, saying, ”Miss Huo Zhi is a proud daughter of heaven from the Yan Clan. The partner you’ve found must be extraordinary. Why not call him out so we can meet? We could all sit down and have some tea; perhaps we might even have many common topics.”

”To be valued by Miss Huo Zhi, he must be a direct descendant of some Emperor Clan. Perhaps I even know him.”

Yao Tian felt extremely stifled inside.

When Yao Ling first said she wanted to introduce a woman to him, he hadn’t had any particular thoughts about it.

However, after the elders of the Medicine Clan learned that the person Venerable Yao wanted to introduce to him was Huo Zhi, they all gave their approval.

Only then did he leave the Medicine World and follow Yao Ling to see Huo Zhi. As long as the conversation went reasonably well, the elders would step in later to communicate with the Yan Clan regarding the rest.

But in his heart, he didn’t believe a woman with a Fourth-Grade Dou Di Bloodline from the Yan Clan could make his heart flutter, even if the other party possessed the Red Lotus Karma Fire and a special constitution.

Yet, upon seeing Huo Zhi for the first time, he couldn’t help but feel his heart stir. He felt this woman was the best he had ever seen—only Yao Ling could compare, but Yao Ling was his own sister.

At that moment, he felt the trip had been worthwhile and was already prepared to show off his charm to gain Huo Zhi’s favor. As long as she didn’t refuse, he would send word to the family elders.

As it turned out... it was over before it even began.

This made him feel like a clown.

”My partner surely wouldn’t know Young Clan Leader Yao Tian, so there’s no need for us to meet for tea. He is currently in closed-door cultivation and has no time to see guests.” Huo Zhi rejected the request directly on behalf of Xiao Ting.

Her partner was certainly presentable, but given Yao Tian’s personality, if he found out Huo Zhi’s partner was just a ”rogue cultivator” or someone from the fallen Xiao Family, there was no guarantee he wouldn’t say something that invited a beating.

”It doesn’t matter.” Yao Tian said with a gentle tone, ”Since I’ve already come all the way to the Black-Corner Region, it’s fine if Yao Ling and I stay for a while. We can wait for Miss Huo Zhi’s partner to finish his cultivation before meeting him.”

”Brother, let’s just forget it.” Yao Ling said immediately, ”Huo Zhi has a partner, so why should we stay? Don’t you need to return to the Medicine World to focus on improving your alchemy? You should head back soon, lest you be surpassed by Yao Xingji.”

Yao Tian instinctively frowned and said somewhat stubbornly, ”Ling’er, you said you wanted to come, and I’ve come. It wouldn’t be right to just leave like this.”

”I’m just curious about how outstanding the man Miss Huo Zhi has taken a fancy to is. That’s not offensive, is it?”

”I’m sorry, but I do find it offensive.” Huo Zhi narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled indifferently, ”As for how outstanding the partner I’ve chosen is, you don’t need to meet him; I can let you know right now.”

”Oh?” Yao Tian showed an expression of surprise.

Just as he was about to ask how she would let him know, Huo Zhi suddenly moved, raising her hand to mobilize the power of space to suppress him.

Yao Ling closed her eyes: Brother, you brought this upon yourself. I already tried my best.

”Hiss!”

A quarter of an hour later, Yao Tian looked at Huo Zhi with lingering fear, his face deathly pale and in a very poor state.

He never imagined that this woman would attack the moment she said she would, and that he would be completely powerless to resist.

He was stubborn and said, ”What kind of skill is it to launch a sneak attack?”

As a result, Huo Zhi released her restriction on him and let him attack first.

Even when facing his full efforts, which included his soul power and Heavenly Flame, Huo Zhi still took him down in a single move.

This represented an absolute gap in realm and strength between him and Huo Zhi.

And indeed, that was the case. Huo Zhi was currently a Fifth-Grade Dou Di Bloodline of the Yan Clan, a four-star Dou Zun with an early-stage Heavenly Realm soul.

Dealing with Yao Tian, who had only just broken through to Dou Zun with a mid-stage Heavenly Realm soul, was as easy as pie.

”The gap between you and me is far less than the gap between me and my partner.”

”My partner is younger than both of us, but his strength is far above mine.”

”If you want to meet my partner, wait until you’ve reached the Dou Sheng level.”

”This time, out of respect for Ling’er, I won’t hold your pestering against you.”

Yao Tian: ”...”

So, I was ostensibly reluctant to come out, but was dragged along anyway, just to get a beating?

What’s even more ridiculous is that I have to thank Yao Ling for not being beaten too badly?

That is hilarious.

”Sister Yao Ling, I’m going back to cultivate now. If you have any urgent matters, just crush the communication jade slip.”

Nodding slightly toward Yao Ling, Huo Zhi prepared to leave.

Just then, Yao Ling spoke up, ”Huo Zhi, I have a question to ask before you go.”

”Hm?” Huo Zhi signaled for Yao Ling to speak.

”Have you heard of Han Feng?” Yao Ling asked, and then introduced Mu Qingluan to her.

”Hello, Miss Huo Zhi. I am from the Starfall Pavilion in the Central Plains. I am the disciple of the Vice Pavilion Master, Wind Venerable. The Pavilion Master of our Starfall Pavilion is Venerable Yao, who originally came from the Medicine Clan. He has been missing for over twenty years, and his disciple, Han Feng, disappeared with him.”

”I recently received intelligence that there is information about Han Feng here in the Black-Corner Region, and that he was killed by a suddenly appearing prodigy named Xiao Ting. Is this true?”

Huo Zhi’s eyes showed a look of contemplation, knowing that the two women were trying to establish a formal connection.

However, she did not mention Xiao Ting directly, but nodded slightly, ”Then you’ve come to the right place. I know someone who can answer your question.”

Saying this, Huo Zhi casually created a spatial channel and stepped into it, ”Follow me.”

Yao Ling and Mu Qingluan immediately followed. The former even turned back to ask, ”Brother, you aren’t coming, right?”

Yao Tian: No mood, no interest. He wanted some peace and quiet right now.

Huo Zhi didn’t look like the type of person who would lie.

The gap between him and Huo Zhi was actually not as large as the gap between Huo Zhi and her partner.

Wouldn’t that mean he couldn’t even withstand the pressure of Huo Zhi’s partner?

The point was that the other person was even younger than him.

As far as he knew, there was no one that talented among the various Emperor Clans, right?

No, wait, there was actually one—the Young Clan Leader of the Lei Clan, the possessor of the God-Grade Dou Di Bloodline, Lei Dong.

But the relationship between the Lei Clan and the Yan Clan had always been mediocre; Huo Zhi’s partner shouldn’t be Lei Dong.

Could it be that a prodigy had emerged from the mysterious Hun Clan?

Yao Tian wanted some peace and quiet.

Yao Ling let out a sigh of relief, thinking that he had saved himself another beating.

Afterward, she and Mu Qingluan followed Huo Zhi toward the Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy.

Huo Zhi swept her soul power across the area and found Xiao Yan, who had just finished refining a medicinal pill.

”Third Brother, come here for a moment. There is a guest here who wants to see Venerable Yao!”
