Chapter 113

Huo Hongying was sneaking in through the back entrance of her house, furtively leading Jifeng and Pojun toward the stable when a stern and commanding male voice called out from behind her:

"Huo Hongying!"

Her whole body stiffened, her nerves tightening instinctively. Forcing a practiced smile onto her face, she turned to face her elder brother.

Huo Yi stood there in full armor, clearly having just returned from the barracks. His chiseled features and naturally commanding presence made him an intimidating sight as he strode toward her, each step radiating pressure.

Huo Hongying, hunched and pretending to be meek, forced a grin and said sweetly, "Big Brother, you're back..."

"Where were you?" Huo Yi asked coldly, his expression unreadable as he fixed her with a piercing gaze.
