"Yue'er!" Shui Yue'er cried out in surprise to the person who had arrived, her beautiful eyes lighting up, and even the feeling of her sister's defeat was somewhat diluted.
Luo Yu had departed silently, saying he was going to awaken his martial soul. Shui Bing'er speculated that he might be trying to become a soul master like her, which naturally made Shui Yue'er feel even more guilty and worried.
Shui Bing'er nodded slightly, relieved that he was safe. If he had risked awakening his martial soul because of her words and something had gone wrong, she would have been deeply troubled.
The Huo Family turned to look at the newcomer, their eyes drawn to his extraordinary demeanor.
Luo Yu walked over, and both Huo Wu and her brother were curiously sizing him up.
"Brother Shui, I didn't know your manor had such an outstanding young talent! Why don't you introduce him?" Huo Xiao laughed heartily, intending to probe.
Shui Dongsheng was in a bad mood after his daughter's defeat, compounded by the loss of face. He glanced at Luo Yu indifferently and said, "Brother Huo, you flatter me. There's no young talent here. This kid is someone I saved on the road. He has no martial soul and no cultivation."
"No cultivation? That shouldn't be the case." Huo Xiao considered himself a man of the world. He didn't believe that a mortal would have such a detached gaze and temperament. He doubted, "Could it be that Brother Shui is joking with me?"
Shui Dongsheng chuckled. "He really is just a mortal."
Huo Xiao was unconvinced, still thinking that Shui Dongsheng was hiding the strength of a genius from the Shui Manor. He repeatedly questioned, "Brother Shui, are you sure he's just a mortal?"
Shui Dongsheng was starting to get impatient. He said coldly, "I'm sure!"
"If it wasn't for the fact that this kid has completely lost his memory and can't survive outside, the Shui Manor would never keep someone idle."
"Dad!" Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er both tugged at their father's sleeves. After all, Luo Yu was standing right there, and such words were rather hurtful.
Shui Dongsheng looked at his two lovely daughters, and his furrowed brow eased slightly.
Turning to Luo Yu, who was watching the situation from the side, he said, "Kid, I'm not a harsh person, but if you want to stay in the Shui Manor in the future, you should have something to do. Just lazing around all day has already caused a lot of discontent within the manor."
Luo Yu stepped forward, cupping his hands respectfully. "Of course. May I ask what arrangements the Shui Manor Head has in mind?"
He'd observed the situation, understanding most of what had transpired.
He's a sensible young man. Shui Dongsheng nodded approvingly. "The kitchen needs an extra hand. Report there tonight."
Shui Yue'er glared, seemingly ready to protest on Luo Yu's behalf. Shui Bing'er, however, pulled on her arm, shaking her head. Shui Yue'er relented, glaring at her father with obvious displeasure.
"It seems I misunderstood you, Brother Shui. I didn't see things clearly." Huo Xiao said with a smile of apology.
Shui Dongsheng snorted.
"Uncle Shui, since this person is insignificant in the manor, may I take him back with me?" Huo Wu, a tall woman with flowing dark red hair, stepped forward, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"Oh?" Shui Dongsheng chuckled.
Huo Wu leaned close to Luo Yu, lifting her chin like a little peacock, and arrogantly sized up his ethereal face. "Uncle Shui, isn't it a waste to use this person to stoke the fire in the kitchen? It would be better to take him back as a page; it would be pleasing to the eye."
"Huo Wu!" Two sharp voices rang out as Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er glared at her.
Luo Yu's dark eyes revealed a playful look. This girl actually dares to think that? Wants to take this young master home and make him a page?
Huo Wushuang and Huo Xiao were both stunned, but didn't say much. This little ancestor was always unruly at home, so asking for a page wasn't a big deal.
Shui Dongsheng glanced at his nervous daughter and simply said, "Since my niece likes him, then take him. I trust the character of the Huo Family."
As the head of the family, he naturally had his own considerations. Firstly, if this person stayed in the Shui Manor, his daughter would always be distracted. A normal person and a Soul Master were absolutely impossible; his daughter, with her outstanding talent, had to marry a genius.
Secondly, sending this person away could be a way to befriend the Huo Family. With undercurrents stirring across the continent, it was always good to form a friendly relationship.
Thirdly, this person's origins were unknown; sending him away early would also be getting rid of a troublesome matter.
Shui Dongsheng's straightforward agreement stunned Huo Xiao, but a smile quickly spread across his coarse face. He understood that Shui Dongsheng was trying to be friendly.
"Huo Wu, aren't you going to thank your Uncle Shui?"
"Thank you, Uncle Shui!" Huo Wu beamed, raising her snowy white neck and looking triumphantly at the furious Shui sisters.
Seeing that wasn't enough, Huo Wu walked over to Luo Yu with a shallow smile, extending her slender jade finger to tap the man's chin, "You are mine from now on."
After saying that, Huo Wu looked provocatively at the Shui sisters, feeling pleased with herself as she saw their angry eyes. She had achieved her goal of taking Luo Yu away.
Shui Dongsheng's eyes flashed with displeasure. However, firstly, the boy who had bewitched his daughter had to be sent away, and secondly, this was just a squabble between young girls and hadn't yet reached the point of being taken seriously. He could use this to temper his daughters' characters.
"Hey, the person involved hasn't said anything yet. Where did this crazy woman come from? Who said this young master is yours?"
The Shui sisters were stunned, and Huo Wu's smile froze. She turned to look at the man.
Luo Yu's expression was calm, and a noble temperament seemed to naturally emanate from his black eyes. He raised his hand and slowly pushed down the finger Huo Wu had placed on his chin.
Huo Wu was humiliated by a mere mortal, and even though she had a favorable impression of him due to his looks, she was still furious: "Do you know who I am? So many people want to follow this young lady, but they don't even get the chance."
Luo Yu shook his head and asked, "Are you very famous?"
Huo Wu said proudly, "Who in the Five Great Elemental Academies doesn't know the name Huo Wu?"
"Alas, I only know Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er. If you were really that famous, how come I don't know you!" Luo Yu pretended to sigh.
As soon as he said this, Shui Yue'er and her sister covered their cherry lips and giggled.
Huo Wu was exasperated, "You're so ungrateful. You'd rather be a cook in the kitchen than be with me?"
"We have meat and wine in the kitchen. What do I get by following you? Watching a little girl be arrogant all day?" Luo Yu teased.
Shui Yue'er's eyes flickered, and she felt that the pent-up frustration in her chest had dissipated by a large margin. She always felt that Luo Yu was different today, much more domineering and flamboyant than before; he used to be lazy.
"You ungrateful wretch! Judging by your lack of prospects, you should just stay in the Shui Manor's kitchen and cook."
Huo Wu stomped her feet furiously in her red leather boots, then flicked her sleeves and left.
Luo Yu was flippant on the surface, but inwardly, he nodded. It seemed this Huo Wu, aside from being a bit arrogant, wasn't a bad person and didn't bully others.
Huo Wushuang's expression was gloomy as he walked out and said, "You, this pretty-boy freeloader, are you even qualified to insult my sister?"
"Who are you?" Luo Yu rolled his eyes. Was this the sis-con mode activating?
"Does a pretty boy deserve to know Young Master's name?" Huo Wushuang said coldly.
"Oh? Then translate for me, what does 'pretty boy' even mean!" Luo Yu rubbed his fingers together, unafraid, and looked at Huo Wushuang with amusement.
