Walking into the hall of the Huo family, I only saw several elders sitting in the hall, the old man sitting on the top had gray hair and wrinkles on his face, although he looked haggard and thin, but a pair of brown eyes were deeply sunken in the sockets, but there was a sharp light, just by eyesight, this person should look like he was in his seventies.
Sitting on the lower right of him are two middle-aged men, although they are relatively young, their momentum is not as good as that of the old man, but their facial features are very similar to the old man, and they are sitting in danger at the moment, looking a little serious.
Sitting opposite them was a young man in a white robe, who looked like he was in his twenties, much more mature than Huo Mingyu, his facial features looked cold and resolute, and his gaze was even more arrogant and indifferent.
As soon as Huo Mingyu walked into the hall, before he had time to salute, the white-haired old man on the top slammed his fist on the table, making a violent sound, followed by a fierce shout, "Bastard, it's not good to stay at home for alchemy, where did you go!"
The angry scolding shook the figure of Xiahou Wanxuan and the others who walked in, and their faces turned a little pale.
However, before they could recover their strength, Huo Mingyu retorted unhappily, "Our Huo family has long been disqualified from participating in the competition, no matter how I practice, it will be useless! ”
When the old man heard him say this, he was even more angry and blew his beard and glared, and scolded again, "Bastard, you are embarrassed to say it! If it weren't for your useless thing, why wouldn't our Huo family even be qualified to participate in the competition!"
"I'm not alchemy material in the first place, you can force me as much as you want, I'm also like this! If you want the Huo family to regain the qualification for the competition, you should pin your hopes on the second brother!" Huo Mingyu roared back angrily, he didn't care about any etiquette and seniority at all, and he looked at it like he had been oppressed for a long time, which disgusted these people in the hall to the bone.
Seeing him so presumptuous, the white-haired old man was even more angry, and he couldn't breathe, and the middle-aged man in a navy blue robe below saw that the old man was so angry that his face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly played a round, "Father, Ming Yu is still young and ignorant, the more pressure he puts on him, the more he resists, and this kind of thing can only be cultivated slowly, and he can't be in a hurry." ”
Huo Mingyu looked very similar to the middle-aged man who spoke, listening to his tone, he also had the meaning of defending him and helping to intercede, Su Moliang guessed that this person should be Huo Mingyu's biological father.
It's just that as soon as his voice fell, a middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe and a relatively burly figure sitting next to him suddenly snorted coldly and sneered, "Second brother, you can't say that, since my son's death, our Huo family has not been qualified for several years, and the current Huo family is even worse day by day, if it continues like this, the Huo family will be defeated sooner or later! Therefore, our time is running out, if Huo Mingyu doesn't hurry up his cultivation, our Huo family will be finished!"
"Since Uncle knows that time is running out, then he should let the second brother hurry up and cultivate, why pin his hopes on me as a waste. Huo Mingyu was full of disberence, and hummed heavily with his eyes puffed out.
When the man who was called the uncle heard this, he was so angry that he wrinkled his eyebrows, and he also scolded, "Bastard, the elders educate you, and you dare to talk back! If your second brother had a little talent for alchemy, I would have let him do alchemy, and it would be impossible for you to be a waste!"
"I don't have the talent for alchemy, I've been refining for so many years, and I've only reached the level of a mid-stage Dan Master, and I can't even meet the minimum requirements for participating in the competition, how can you let me revive the Huo family!" Huo Mingyu thought that he had worked very hard, and he had worked hard for the Huo family, but he had no talent, no matter how hard he tried, even if he was forced to die, he would not be able to meet the requirements of the competition.
What's more, this Huo family has never treated him as a person, when there was a big brother before, he was almost a transparent person, except for his biological parents, everyone in the family treated him coldly, and later after the eldest brother who was an alchemist was killed, they began to pay attention to him, just because the entire Huo family, except for the eldest brother, only he can do alchemy, although his talent is not strong, but at least he is an alchemist.
Therefore, the Huo family used him as a tool to revitalize the family, and wanted to train him into a powerful alchemist, win the ranking in the competition, and take the people of the Huo family into the immortal pool to cultivate.
However, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and the more you desire, the more it backfires.
He is not the material of an alchemist, no matter how they beat him, scold him, and lock him up, he will not meet the requirements of the competition!
The white-robed young man sitting on the side heard Huo Mingyu turn his words to himself, his sword eyebrows narrowed slightly, his eyes shot a sharp cold light, and he said lightly, "Little brother, it's not that I don't want to help your second brother, it's just that I measured it, I really don't have any mental power at all, and there is no way to have such good luck as you to become an alchemist! Therefore, the burden of the Huo family is only hard for you." ”
"What is his hard work, what is it, all these years, among the descendants of Netherworld, you have always been on top, if it weren't for you, our Huo family would have been scolded as no successor! Although you don't have spiritual power, but you have excellent spiritual power, you won't be like him who can't do anything!" The old man of the Huo family heard the words of the white-robed young man, and immediately retorted disapprovingly, and between the lines, he could completely hear his old man's preference for the white-robed youth.
Although the profession of alchemist is very popular and noble, it has to be an alchemist who can refine pills to be noble, and an alchemist like Huo Mingyu who can refine some lowest-level pills at most, and who is not even qualified to participate in the competition, really can't make people respect.
Hearing this, the white-robed man glanced at Huo Mingyu coldly, and the contempt and smugness floating in his pupils were fleeting, although it was very fast, it was still captured by Su Moliang.
It seems that Huo Mingyu's second brother is very good, and he also despises Huo Mingyu extremely in his bones.
"Father, it's my lack of teaching that makes Mingyu so lazy, I will strengthen his training in the future and strive not to disappoint my father!" The man in navy blue clothes had a particularly ugly expression, and seemed to feel a little distressed that his son was reprimanded and humiliated in public, so he took responsibility himself, intending to temporarily calm Old Man Huo's anger.
But the old man above obviously didn't eat this set, with a straight face, he roared angrily, "Hmph, strengthen training? Not only did you not strengthen his training, but also let him run out to play, how did you become a father! Seeing that it was about to be another alchemy competition, our Huo family could only watch other families grow and suffer white eyes and humiliation, we have tasted that taste for several years, do you still want to endure this!"
