Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 95 - Huo Yidao

When Yin Xu woke up, he had already missed his lunch. He cleaned himself up simply and walked out of his bedroom and saw that the four people he brought with him were surrounding a servant.

“What's wrong?” Yin Xu walked over and asked.

“Young Master, they've gone too far!” Wu Sheng ran over and showed the box in his hands to him, “It's fine if we're two hours late for lunch, but you're even going to eat cold food!”

“Aiyo, this young man, he really didn't do it on purpose. It's just that the kitchen is too far away from here and the food has turned cold since we arrived.”

Yin Xu glanced at the greasy dishes on the table, “Throw it away, Ding Yi will go out to the restaurant to buy some ready-made food, then eat dinner. Tomorrow, I will get some people to clean up the small kitchen in the courtyard.”

This meant that their own residence would have to be opened for business in the future. Wu Sheng smiled happily.

In reality, with such a large Huo Family and a large population, many people did not eat the dishes made in the large kitchen. However, Yin Xu had just entered the room, and he did not know whether Huo Family would agree or not.

The attendant rolled his eyes, “Yes, yes, the mansion's masters dislike the kitchen's food, so they all cook their own dishes. Seventh Young Master, you can mention this to the butler.”

It would be best if he was rejected. He wanted to open a small stove right after entering the door, and was waiting to be humiliated!

Yin Xu didn't even spare a glance at the attendant, and only told Mao Er to throw him and the lunchbox out, and then wait for them to buy something to eat.

The courtyard was too clean, there was not even a snack. The tea was even boiled by Wu Sheng using the charcoal brazier in the house.

“Young Master, it seems like they're deliberately trying to intimidate you.”

“You even know the term ‘show off'? Haha …” Yin Xu laughed out loud, “You're wrong, they didn't intentionally make things difficult for me, they just neglected me.”

The head of the house was rude to him, so of course the servants would not put too much thought into him.

However, when the news of attendant being whipped began to spread, perhaps no one would dare to do such a thing?

Wu Sheng rubbed his stomach and said: “It's also because I was foolish. If I knew earlier, I would have let Ding Yi buy food early. Young Master, you will have food when you wake up.”

“What's the rush? You won't die even if you starve for a while.”

Yin Xu cast his gaze into the distance, where he did not make a sound. Other than greeting him in front of him, this person had not spoken another word of greeting.

“Zhong Yuan, I'll leave the matters of the courtyard to you.”

“Yes.”

“What about me?” Wu Sheng jumped out unhappily.

“What can you do? “First, learn from Yuan Yuan, when you're out of the faculty, and then take on a job!” Yin Xu did not conceal his dissatisfaction towards him.

Of course, this dissatisfaction was only directed towards his ability.

In the end, Wu Sheng and Huo Tian had grown up together, and the two were more or less like playmates. Although they had changed their minds, Wu Sheng also felt that it would become more and more difficult to get along with his young master, but he was not afraid of him.

“Master, I have learned to keep accounts and make calculations. How about I help you manage the money?”

He secretly glanced at Zhong Yuan, his eyes filled with distrust.

This attendant was brought out from the Third Prince Mansion, so it must be someone from the Third Prince. Uncle Wu had said before that they must keep a distance from the Third Prince Mansion people, and must not let their Young Master reveal everything in front of them.

Didn't these words mean that he was the Third Prince's spy?

Humph! Forget about the other matters, the young master's money cannot be controlled by him.

“Up to you.” Since he did not have much money, and thus would need to borrow money from Teng Yu's family, ever since their relationship improved, Teng Yu gave him the right to be the mistress.

However, since he was currently living in the Huo Mansion, his expenses should naturally be borne by the Huo Mansion.

“Wait a while, Ding Yi will buy everything back and get him to report it to the butler. As a grand marshal of the marshal's residence, he doesn't even have a decent meal to eat. How embarrassing!”

Ding Yi returned as fast as he could, he directly left through the back door. There was already a large restaurant at the corner of the street, and upon hearing that the young master of Huo Family wanted to order a meal, the restaurant stopped all the other customers from cooking.

He walked in with a big box in one hand. Wu Sheng ran over to receive it with a smile: “Thank you for your hard work, Big Brother Ding Yi.”

He grabbed the box and rushed into the house. “Young master, the food is here. Are you hungry?”

Ding Yi couldn't help but chase after his back, thinking: He's still a child, so lively.

When he was following Third Prince, he noticed this little follower. When he was happy, he would laugh, cry and scold when he was angry.

“Brother Ding Yi, you come and eat as well.” Wu Sheng stood at the door and waved at him, holding a pair of chopsticks.

He stepped out and stood outside the door obediently, “Seventh Young Master will be the one to use it first, it's the same for this subordinate and Mao Er when they go out to eat.”

“No need, you bought so many, there's no way the young master can finish them all …” Young Master? ” Wu Sheng turned his head and asked.

“Okay, leave some pastries and take the rest to share.”

“Look, in order to maintain his figure, my young master doesn't eat much meat anymore. He doesn't even eat rice.” Wu Sheng said as his mouth twitched.

Yin Xu didn't want to correct him. He didn't need to maintain his figure anymore.

“Hurry up and go eat. Cut the crap!”

After the meal, the small courtyard welcomed its first guest.

“Is Seventh Brother living here? It seems pretty quiet, why don't we exchange it? ” The white robe was extremely eye-catching in winter. Huo Yidao walked around the courtyard a few times and said this.

“Nope.” Yin Xu was quite satisfied with this courtyard, especially with it being so close to the back door.

“If that's the case, then I won't steal anything from you.” Huo Yidao got the attendant to take out a book and pass it to Yin Xu, “This is the clan rule for Huo Family, if Seventh Brother wants to learn the rules, you can start from the family rule.”

Yin Xu casually flipped to two pages, and the first rule of the family was: The descendants of Huo Family could not participate in the battle to seize the direct line of descent, those who violated this rule would be killed without mercy!

The thick killing intent gushed over. One could tell that this was probably written personally by the Huo Family Ancestor, and the handwriting was obviously different from the family rules that came afterwards.

“You couldn't have brought the ancestral hall's rules over, right?”

“Of course not. I copied this book according to the family rules, and even the handwriting is very similar.”

“You're so considerate!” Yin Xu praised with a smile that did not reach his eyes. In his heart, he thought: A scholar is still a scholar.

Huo Yidao sized up this extra brother. Actually, everyone knew about the Seventh Brother in the family, he was ranked right there. It was just that many people had never seen him before.

Huo Yidao might have met him when he was young, but he was too young to remember anything at the time. A few years after Huo Tian was sent away, he found out from a servant that there was such a person in his family.

However, this had nothing to do with him. He wasn't born of a woman, so who would care if his little brother was dead or alive?

As he aged, Huo Yidao realised that he did not like to dance with swords and spears.

His father was rarely at home, and his birth mother had passed away. His stepmother was also unable to control him, so he didn't hesitate to walk on a path that was completely different from the people of Huo Family.

By the time his father discovered it, he had already abandoned the martial arts for many years, and the Flame Yang Spell had only barely touched the edge of the ground, so he gave up.

With so many descendants from Huo Family, losing even one martial general would not change anything. Thus, when his father found out about the ancestral hall that had punished him to kneel for three days and three nights, he no longer cared.

What's the use of it? He had already missed the best age to practice martial arts.

Not every single one of the descendants of Huo Family could become talents, and there were some people who were innately uninterested in martial arts. These people's Huo Family wouldn't provide too many resources, so if they wanted to live a life that they liked, they could, go and fight for it themselves.

Huo Yidao's high school relied solely on his own abilities, as for whether the emperor had secretly given him water in the Hall Competition or not, it was unknown.

However, he knew that as long as his Huo Family was there, his road to governance wouldn't be easy.

It was impossible for the Emperor to allow Huo Family to gain the upper hand in both the civil and military fields, so he was willing to become a small editor in training in the Han Forest Academy.

“I'm very curious about Seventh Brother. I wonder if Seventh Brother can explain this to Brother?”

“Resolve what?”

“Seventh brother's meridians were determined to be unblocked since he was young, so he was unable to practice martial arts. But I heard that Seventh Brother is the savior of the Third Prince, and is extremely skilled at it. This is too unimaginable.”

“Then what second brother means is that it's the most normal thing for me to be an unknown farmer my whole life?” Yin Xu laughed, this was probably the question that everyone wanted to know the most, unfortunately, he would not tell them the truth.

“Of course not, I'm just purely curious.”

“Then be curious, there are a few unsolved mysteries in life that are also fun.”

“Haha …” Indeed, it's like that. It's Second Brother's magic barrier. ” Huo Yidao said in a gentle tone.

Yin Xu looked at him a few more times, his eyes were unique, he could see through everything, but Huo Yidao was not as simple as he looked on the surface.

However, if he had a motive, why would he abandon his martial arts? The owner of Huo Family definitely would not choose a civil servant who only knew how to use his brush.

It was impossible for Huo Yidao to not understand this point.

In Yin Xu's opinion, it was only natural for such a large clan to inherit their family property, just like the three royal brothers.

But looking at the situation he saw today, his Huo Family was actually quite calm, at least on the surface.

Yin Xu threw the thick book of clan rules to Wu Sheng, “Then I'll have to thank second brother for his gift, after reading the family rules, we will return it.”

“Brother, if you don't know anything, you can always come and find me. The place where I live is not far away.” Perhaps it was to allow him to study in peace, or perhaps it was to separate him, that Huo Yidao's courtyard could be considered to be remote from the rest of the palace.

“Of course.” Yin Xu's mouth hooked up as he casually agreed.

He had no interest in the rules of the Huo Family, it would be weird if he knew how to read them!
