A few hours later, at the Huo family's old residence.
Huo Xiuxiu was half-kneeling on the ground in the quaint courtyard. Her beautiful face was filled with worry and grievance.
She also knew that she was the future successor of the Huo family. As her boyfriend, Xu Mo had to go through her grandmother.
He never thought that everything would happen so quickly!
This was a treasure hunt! Although she had never personally entered the ancient tomb, she had heard of the dangers within.
"Grandma, I want to…"
"No means no. Just wait at home.”Fairy Huo's voice was very serious.
Although her tone was angry, her silver hair, her weathered face, and the pain in her expression all revealed her concern for her granddaughter.
However, despite his concern, Huo Xiuxiu had really done a terrible job this time!
As the next generation of the Huo family, she had extraordinary power, but she also had helplessness that ordinary people did not have.
At the very least, how could she hide the matter of choosing a husband from her family and get together with someone else so rashly? Moreover, it had been fine for a year!
Xu Mo was just a brat who opened an antique shop in Panjiayuan. Could he help Huo Xiuxiu support the entire Huo family in the future?
Although his granddaughter was an elf, she was pure and kind by nature.
If she did not have a suitable man to protect her, the Huo family would be gone in the current era where the Nine Gates were fighting openly and secretly. She was most afraid that something would happen to Huo Xiuxiu.
It was because of this consideration that Huo Xiangu had asked the boy to meet with the Huo family when she found out that her granddaughter had a boyfriend.
Her request was very simple. In order to pass her test, Xu Mo had to bring something back from the next battle.
Whether it was the Nine Gates or the Four Sects, the rules had always been the same.
………………........
"Grandma ~"
Huo Xiuxiu wanted to say something, but a servant stumbled over to pass the message.
Xu Mo was back!
Not long after, a tall figure entered the door.
The man had a handsome face and carried a brown backpack in his hand. The muscles on his arms were bulging because of the strength he exerted.
"Grandma Huo."
Xu Mo cupped his hands respectfully, then took out the luminous pearl from his backpack and handed it to the servant.
Huo Xiangu nodded and took the item.
Antiques could also be faked. In order to prevent this kid from playing tricks, she had to personally inspect them.
As for Huo Xiuxiu, she heaved a sigh of relief and happily stood beside Xu Mo like a child.
"Very good, you've passed me.”
After confirming that the item was correct, Aunt Huo raised her head and looked at Xu Mo with satisfaction.
It was no longer a feudal society, and her thoughts were not so stubborn. Since the other party had met his requirements, Fairy Huo was a person of her word.
Of course, passing was just passing. She still had to explain some things to Xu Mo.
"You should know about the Nine Gates, right?"
"I've heard a little about it." Xu Mo replied.
"Then you should also know about the open and secret struggles between the Nine Sects and Four Sects. If you want to be the son-in-law of my Huo family, you have to bear a lot of things.”
"But it's alright. I can hold on for a while longer. You have to seize the opportunity to study hard and make up for your shortcomings.”
Xu Mo nodded. He had never thought that it would be easy to manage the huge Huo family. He was not strong enough now.
However, since Fairy Huo had said so, it was obvious that she had acknowledged his identity as her future son-in-law.
............
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, it was time for lunch.
Xu Mo was too embarrassed to stay in the Huo family for a meal. He said a few sweet words to the little girl and rushed back to Panjiayuan.
The antique shop he opened wasn't considered remote in this area. However, Panjiayuan itself was an antique market, and there were more and more old foxes who could be fooled. Therefore, the usual business wasn't very good.
There were even some who didn't have a single customer.
However, his luck today was pretty good. When Xu Mo returned, he saw a man squatting in front of his shop smoking.
The other party was a medium-sized, muscular guy who looked to be in his thirties.
His temperament was very domineering. Even if he sat there without moving, he gave off a feeling that he could not be easily provoked.
The man seemed to hear approaching footsteps and looked up at Xu Mo.
"Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger." He suddenly said with a smile.
"The pagoda suppresses the river demon." Xu Mo also laughed.
"Once you enter the Qing Lou, it's as deep as the sea."
"From now on, integrity is a passerby."
.........................
The burly man stood up and hugged Xu Mo.
