Hu Li turned around, his face pale. He looked at Yun Luofeng and said, “I need to take care of my personal affairs. Please wait for me here.”
Yun Luofeng looked at Hu Li and said, “We’ll go with you.”
“Okay.” Hu Li nodded, strode out of the gate and walked quickly towards the slum.
The Hu Family was quite famous here, especially Hu Li’s father who was a well-renowned physician and had cured a lot of patients. Therefore, by asking pedestrians, Hu Li easily found out the whereabouts of his father.
…
At that moment, a hunchbacked old man supported by another man tottered out of a dilapidated house in the slum. He was gray-haired and old, his face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum. If Yun Luofeng were here, she would immediately recognize that the person supporting the old man was Hu Lin who she had defeated.
“My brother, you finally came out.”
A middle-aged man sneered at the old man, with a contemptuous smile on his face, “When are you going to pay me back?”
“Hu Youwu, I know it was you who framed my father! That year, you wanted to take everything belonging to the Hu Family, so you framed my father and expelled him from the family. To your surprise, my father was successful in his career after he left the family. Seeing that he managed to gain a high status in the Luohua City with excellent medical skills, you bore a grudge and framed him again by arranging an accident when he was treating a patient. Then you forced him to borrow money from you!” Hu Lin gnashed his teeth and glared at Hu Youwu.
Hu Youwu guffawed disdainfully, “It was your father who killed his patient. Why do you blame me? Look, as I said, his medical skill is inferior and is no match for mine.”
“You…” Hu Lin clenched his fists, “My brother is very successful now. When he comes back, he will surely avenge my father. And then you will die miserably!”
“Hahaha!
Hu Youwu laughed, “Are you talking about that Hu Li who ran away from home three years ago? Tut, if he is really as successful as you said, why doesn’t he come back home? I think he must stay outside to conceal his failure. You dare to brag that he has reached the sage king level and been listed on the Heaven Roll? What a joke! Even my son is not able to achieve this, so how could Hu Li do it?”
Hu Li had reached the sage king level, which was not bad but not surprising. But it was a different story considering his age. After all, Hu Li had reached the sage king level at the age of 25. On the whole Seven Province Continent, only some students of the West Province Academy achieved this.
More importantly, everyone knew what the Heaven Roll of the West Province Academy stood for. Once a student was listed on the Heaven Roll, he would attract the attention of the elders of the Academy, and soon become the disciple of one of them. Then, technically, he could make use of the power of the West Province Academy.
If Hu Li had really achieved that, then Hu Youwu wouldn’t dare do these things to his father.
However, Hu Li had been missing for three years. If he had really made it, he would have returned home and shown off his success, but he hadn’t come back! That was why Youwu didn’t take Hu Li seriously.
“Who did you say was missing for three years?”
Just as Hu Youwu laughed, a cold voice came from behind him.
