Usually, Huo Ling was the most attached to her elder sister.
She would often follow Huo Xian’er around like a little shadow.
It was only recently, with Huo Xian’er busy with her final sprint of cultivation, that Huo Ling, under Huo Qingshan’s strict orders, had stopped following her sister.
Otherwise, Huo Xian’er might not have been able to break through to the Eighth Level of the First Rank.
Because her little sister was just too annoying.
Hearing his youngest daughter speak like this, Huo Qingshan could only hold his forehead in exasperation.
No one knows a daughter better than her father.
How could he not know what his mischievous little daughter was thinking right now?
Gently patting Huo Ling’s head, Huo Qingshan spoke earnestly.
“Your sister has gone out to meet a friend. Don’t disturb her at this time.
You have only one year left before your assessment. Focus on your cultivation and make sure you don’t make any mistakes.”
His elder daughter had already passed the first phase of the assessment. To Huo Qingshan, the second phase seemed even simpler.
The first phase had more uncertainties, while the second phase was all about raw strength.
With Huo Xian’er’s abilities, getting into the Black Tortoise Spirit Tamer Academy was practically a sure thing.
The only worry left was his second daughter, who still had a childish mindset and was far from mature.
Upon hearing her father’s words, Huo Ling pouted unhappily.
“Hmph! Fine, I won’t ask. All you ever do is tell me to cultivate. I finally get a break, and you won’t leave me alone.”
With that, Huo Ling dashed off.
To find out where her sister went, she didn’t necessarily have to ask her father. She could also ask the butler.
After a round of coercion and persuasion, the butler finally revealed the truth.
“So, sister went to the Glory Grand Hotel. In that case… hehe! I’ll go too.”
Knowing where her sister had gone, Huo Ling couldn’t just stay at home doing nothing.
She was very curious to see who this so-called friend of Huo Xian’er’s was.
As far as she knew, Huo Xian’er only had polite acquaintances at school, not any close friends.
So it was very unusual for her to go out to meet a friend for a meal.
Curiosity piqued, Huo Ling found one of her cars and sneaked out of the Huo family estate, heading straight for the Glory Grand Hotel.
…
Meanwhile, at the Glory Grand Hotel, Ye Ling and his companions had arrived at a private room.
Being a high-end restaurant, it wasn’t usually crowded, and private rooms were generally available without much competition.
For Ye Ling and Chen Zhi, it was their first time in such a luxurious hotel.
After all, they were just ordinary students and had never had the means to dine in such a high-end place.
Looking around, Ye Ling remained calm and composed.
It wasn’t an act; after experiencing rebirth, such things no longer surprised him.
Chen Zhi, on the other hand, was like a country bumpkin in a grand mansion, looking around in awe.
He was also very cautious, afraid of damaging the expensive-looking decorations in the room.
These items seemed incredibly valuable, and breaking one could cost a fortune in Federation Credit Points.
This was a significant concern for Chen Zhi.
As for Huo Xian’er, it was a different story. With her status, dining in such a hotel was routine.
Naturally, Huo Xian’er took charge of ordering. She clearly had experience and knew what dishes were good.
Without even glancing at the menu, she casually named a few dishes to the waiter.
Just hearing the names of these dishes made Chen Zhi feel that this meal would be very expensive.
He knew that Ye Ling was treating them, but he also knew Ye Ling’s situation well.
It was even worse than his own, relying on Federation aid to study at the Academy.
Where would Ye Ling get the means to afford such a luxurious meal?
Chen Zhi couldn’t help but wonder if Ye Ling was getting a bit carried away.
While Chen Zhi was lost in his thoughts, Huo Xian’er suddenly took out a card from her bag.
She handed it to Ye Ling.
“Ye Ling, here’s the payment we agreed on. I’m giving it to you now so no one can accuse me of not keeping my word.”
When she mentioned “payment,” Huo Xian’er’s tone was heavy, and she couldn’t help but grit her teeth.
Recalling Ye Ling’s attitude towards her in the Secret Realm, Huo Xian’er felt quite annoyed.
“Ding! Your payment has been delivered!”
Of course, this wasn’t a system notification but a special effect Ye Ling added for himself.
