1800 Asking To Be Beaten
The food was sent from the kitchen before long.
While they had lunch, Huo Yao glanced at her third older brother. He was eating with his right hand when he usually ate with his left. She narrowed her eyes slightly.
In reality, she had already smelled the faint scent of medicated cream the moment he entered the private room.
“Oh yes, Brother Yulin. Other than Huo Wanying, do the three other potential candidates have high status in the family?” asked Huo Yao casually as she picked up a piece of pork ribs.
Huo Yulin was not accustomed to eating with his left hand, so he could only eat very slowly. When he heard her question, he set down his chopsticks and smiled. “I thought you’d be more curious about Huo Wanying.”
Huo Yao raised her brow and remarked. “Huo Wanying is good.”
Although she was very hostile toward her, she could not bring herself to hate someone with Huo Wanying’s aura.
Did she feel this way because Huo Wanying was very good-looking?
Huo Yao had a penchant for good-looking people. She felt she would hate herself one day for this.
Tsk tsk.
“The three other people are of indirect blood relations, but they are considered to be excellent as well. Even though they can’t compare to Huo Wanying, they are not to be underestimated. They naturally have high status in the family,” said Huo Yulin slowly.
Since they had high status in the family, they naturally showed their ambitions during the test to be the next heir.
Huo Yao nodded. “Got it.”
It did not matter if they had high status. She would just whack them until their statuses became low.
Huo Yulin glanced at Huo Yao. He had an uncanny feeling that she was not randomly asking this.

Meanwhile, on the other end.
Everyone was seated at the dinner table.
“Wanying, did you go easy on Miss Huo in the morning?” Huo Qing looked at Huo Wanying sitting across from him. He thought about it for a long time before he finally raised the question.
Huo Wanying tightened her grip on her chopsticks. She raised her head and replied mildly. “No, I didn’t. Third Uncle, you were sitting there watching the entire thing. I’m sure you could tell.”
Huo Qing knew Huo Wanying was not happy about losing to Huo Yao, so he did not take her tone to heart. He went quiet briefly and said, “Her performance was unexpected, but don’t take it to heart. The shooting contest in the afternoon is your home ground.”
Huo Wanying no longer had the appetite to eat. She put down her chopsticks and acknowledged patronizingly.
“If Young Master Yulin didn’t get hurt, he might be able to compete with you. It’s too bad that he won’t have the chance.” Huo Qing pretended to feel sad and sighed softly.
Huo Wanying pursed her lips. “This is what happens if you underestimate your opponents.”
“Someone like this shouldn’t become the heir,” said Huo Qing ambiguously.
Huo Wanying did not respond. She stood up and nodded. “Third Uncle, I’m done. The Eldest Elder still wants to talk to me, so I have to leave.”
Huo Wanying had already reached the door. The moment she heard what he said, she halted. “Okay.”
She opened the door and left after this.
Huo Qing veered his eyes. After some time, he let out a scoff.

Meanwhile, in the afternoon.
The shooting test was to take place at the training grounds.
However, it was not time yet.
When Huo Yao and Huo Yulin got to the venue, they happened to run into Huo Qi.
Huo Qi had resorted to underhanded means to defeat Huo Yulin in the morning, but he failed. Now that they had run into each other, he naturally did not look very happy. However, when he glanced at Huo Yulin’s left hand, he felt pleased with himself.
“Young Master Yulin, sorry about this morning. Did you see a doctor for your hand?”
Huo Yulin’s face instantly turned solemn.
