Chapter 512: Is this how you treat her like a sister?


Huo Yunjiao saw the glint of anger in Hou Yirong's eyes and whispered, "As long as she's safe, Ruan Ruan really likes her."


Hou Yirong's face was weary, with a deep frown on his forehead.


"Take your time to recover. It will take at least half a year for her to regain her peak condition."


These days have been the most chaotic and miserable days of his life.


The frustration made him feel like exploding on the spot, filled with anger to completely eradicate the Witch Clan.


"Do you think Grandfather will believe us?"


Hou Yunjiao's eyes remained unchanged as he replied, "What do you think?"


Hou Yirong smiled bitterly, "Grandfather has sharp eyes, it won't be easy to deceive him."


Deep down, he felt that Grandfather wouldn't fully believe them.


Hou Yunjiao nodded lightly, "Regardless of whether Grandfather believes or not, we just need to send the video."


The Hou family always prioritizes their own people, and the rest can be communicated with the Witch Clan. After all, it was Grandfather who personally signed the agreement with the Witch Clan back then.


"It's been nearly thirty years, right?" The resentment in Hou Yirong's eyes faded, "I still can't understand why Grandfather signed such an agreement with the Witch Clan back then."


Huo Yunjiao pondered for a moment and gave him an accurate timeframe, "It's been twenty-nine years."


"That means the agreement was signed before we were born. What exactly happened back then that made Grandfather sign such an agreement? If it wasn't something significant, Grandfather would never have done such a thing."


Hou Yunjiao shook his head, "Grandfather doesn't talk about it, so we're also unaware."


The Hou family knows about the agreement with the Witch Clan, but the details remain unknown to the three generations of the Hou family.


Suddenly, several doctors in white coats walked in from outside. Hou Qiang went to meet them and led them upstairs to treat Hou Zhi's injuries.


As they passed by Hou Yunjiao and Hou Yirong, they stopped in their hurried steps.


"Second Young Master, Third Young Master."


Hou Yunjiao's expression was cold as he said to them, "Hou Zhi's injuries are quite severe this time. If necessary, use the special medicine developed by Walton Hospital."


"We will."


"Go."


"Yes, Third Young Master—"


The group hurriedly went upstairs.


Hou Yirong watched their retreating figures and a ruthless and cold light gleamed in his eyes.


"How could Hou Zhi's father be so heartless, even a tiger won't devour its own cubs?"


Hou Yunjiao's expression remained indifferent as he coldly replied, "Sometimes, in the face of interests, family ties are not worth mentioning."


Hou Yirong sneered, "It should be said that people from the Witch Clan are a bunch of arrogant individuals who only care about their own interests. If it weren't for the protection of the Hou family all these years, they would have been pushed to some remote village by the occult world. Not only are they ungrateful, but they also plot against the Hou family. It's a typical case of biting the hand that feeds you!"


Hou Yunjiao nodded in agreement.


The actions of the Witch Clan this time have crossed the line.


He touched the round and smooth Buddhist beads on his wrist and casually said, "With this incident, any lingering ties between Hou Zhi and the Witch Clan have been severed. She no longer belongs to the Witch Clan."


"Since she's a member of the Hou family, we must protect her. It's been years of emotional bond."


Hou Yunjiao's eyes flickered slightly at his words.


He turned his gaze to Hou Yirong standing beside him and asked, "Second Brother, do you really have no feelings for her?"


"..."



Hou Yirong's expression twisted for a moment, "I treat her like a sister!"



"A sister?" Hou Yunjiao raised an eyebrow, his expression teasing, "You throw her into the punishment hall at every opportunity, subject her to corporal punishment every few days, and you call that treating her like a sister?"


Hou Yirong sighed, his handsome face filled with helplessness.


"You don't understand, Third Brother. I've already shown mercy towards her. This time, it's not for her sake. Do I really need to be in such a sorry state?"


Speaking of this matter, Second Young Master Hou was filled with anger.


Hou Yunjiao was already aware of the events that had transpired.


In the video he had just sent to their grandfather, some of the things Second Brother and Hou Zhi said were lies.


The true reason behind the incident originated from Hou Zhi.


The witch of the witch clan had indeed taken a liking to Hou Yirong, and the elder of the witch clan had indeed used despicable means against him.


Hou Yirong killed someone, not because they had used the witch clan's secret medicine on him, but because of Hou Zhi.


Hou Zhi was a spy planted by the witch clan within the Hou family.


Despite her young age, she was astute and revealed her identity to the former head of the Hou family on the day she entered the Hou family.


Even if Hou Zhi didn't confess, the Hou family was aware of the presence of spies within their ranks.


It was precisely because of Hou Zhi's confession that she had reached this point.


Over the years, the members of the Hou family had treated her relatively well.


Their strictness during normal times would ensure their survival during critical moments.


As long as the hidden guards of the Hou family did not commit acts of treason, the Hou family had never taken the lives of any of them.


Hou Zhi, who was raised by the Hou family and became the leader of their hidden guards from a young age, had endured a lot on this path.


Due to her complex identity, it was only after undergoing various strict tests and examinations within the Hou family that her status as a spy from the witch clan was confirmed. Her father, who had sent her to the Hou family, had no emotional attachment to her. The entire witch clan carried a hateful heart towards her.


Since childhood, Hou Zhi had witnessed her birth father using her mother's body to refine poisonous gu.


The methods of the witch clan were cruel, and all the various gu they refined required someone to be experimented on.


Before arriving at the Hou family, Hou Zhi survived each day amidst the agonizing and pitiful screams of her mother.


In the end, her mother couldn't bear the inhuman pain and chose self-release.


As a child, Hou Zhi's psyche was also twisted. She was different from ordinary children.


It was Hou family's siblings who brought her back to a normal life.


When Hou Yirong took Hou Zhi to the witch clan, it was a gesture made by the Hou family towards the witch clan.


Especially towards Hou Zhi's father, the elder of the witch clan.


The person Hou Yirong killed was Hou Zhi's father.


Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, yet Hou Zhi's father actually wanted to exchange his daughter for the assistance of a male companion by the side of the witch clan's witch.


When Hou Yirong was injected with the witch clan's secret medicine, the other party deceived Hou Zhi and sent her to the male companion of the witch.


By the time Hou Yirong discovered it, a long time had already passed.


Hou Zhi had already been tormented to the point of being unrecognizable, covered in injuries.


Her innocence was preserved, but her external injuries were horrifying. She was even on the verge of being infested with gu.


The people of the witch clan were a group of twisted individuals who enjoyed torturing others.


It was also thanks to this that Hou Zhi was spared from being desecrated.


Hou Yirong arrived in time to save Hou Zhi and immediately killed her father in front of her.


From beginning to end, Huo Zhi never looked at that man even once.

Recalling everything that happened to Second Brother and Hou Zhi, Hou Yunjiao's cold face showed a trace of conflict.


Second Brother broke his vows because of Hou Zhi, making it difficult for people not to think about it.


Hou Yirong denied it, which means it's a groundless matter.


The Hou family has always been bold in their actions.


If he really had feelings for Hou Zhi, he wouldn't deny it.


Hou Yunjiao pondered for a moment and asked Huo Yirong, "Second Brother, are you trying to prevent Hou Zhi from staying in the Witch Clan and therefore cutting off her last connection with the clan?"
