"That's fine then."
After thinking for a moment, Huo Wen'an added, "The old man lacks nothing, so just do what you think is best."
"I know what's appropriate."
The next morning, before Huo Wen'an had even awoken, Xu Xingguang got up and went to the training grounds where Cheng Yue and the others were, joining them in their morning exercises.
After finishing the morning exercises, she took a shower, changed into a clean dress, and had just returned to the main hall when she heard sobbing coming from over in the lobby. Xu Xingguang tread softly and recognized it as Mrs. Huo's voice.
Mrs. Huo was begging Huo Wen'an to plead for Huo Wenbei.
"Wen'an, even though Wenbei made mistakes, he never hurt you. Back then, things looked dire, and everyone thought you were..."
"The Old Helmsman is getting old, and you're gravely ill. Someone needs to lead on this Divine Concealment Island. Wenbei is your younger brother; he has ambition and ability, and he's an exceptionally talented child."
