After several days passed, they finally arrived at a valley located at the northern end of the Huangwu continent, a region controlled by the holy fire clan.
But unfortunately, Yun Fei could not follow the others to the deepest parts of the clan, as he was just a stranger whose presence was hard to accept by the clan members.
Meeting hall.
"Sister saluted you guys" Huo An said.
"You're finally home too, fourth sister" said Huo Mei, Huo An's only sister.
"I'm sorry for making your sister anxious."
"No need to apologize, the important thing is that you're back."
After that, Huo Ming began their discussion of the problems their clan was facing, namely the matter of peace agreement and matchmaking from the cloud clan.
The peace treaty and the matchmaking did sound ordinary, but Huo Ming could sense the hidden intent behind the peace treaty and the matchmaking.
"I don't understand, can you explain in more detail?" huo Wen asked, second brother Huo Ming.
Huo Ming sighed, then explained about his suspicions, he also relayed about some information he got from his spies.
From the investigation of his spies, Huo Ming learned that the cloud clan's other intention was to rule over the holy fire clan, and that matchmaking was just an excuse.
"Bad! How dare they play my niece!" huo Wen said.
"Sister, we must show that our clan is not easily oppressed" Huo Qian added.
"I know, but the problem is, the strength of our clan is still losing far away from them" Huo Ming said.
"I have a suggestion" said Huo An who finally decided to open his voice.
"really?"
Huo An nodded, then explained about the plan he had prepared since a few days ago, and the plan was related to Yun Fei who was now in their clan.
"What do you expect from that foreign boy?" asked Huo Wen.
"She is indeed a stranger to you, but her father is a very familiar person with first brother" Huo An replied.
Huo Ming frowned, "what do you mean? Who is the father of the child?"
"Yun Aotian."
They all gasped in shock at Huo An's words, as Yun Aotian's name was already familiar to all of them, especially Huo Ming who was close friends with Yun Aotian.
Other than a close friend, Yun Aotian's status was also unusual, as he was the leader of the cloud clan or bright sky clan before, only that, his existence had long since vanished from the Huangwu continent.
"You're sure he's Yun Aotian's son?"
"I heard it myself and in my opinion, there is no way Yun Fei would lie about her father" Huo An replied.
"Where is he now? If he exists, I'm sure this problem can be solved easily."
Huo An shook his head softly, "unfortunately he's been dead a long time."
"What's!? It was impossible, Yun Aotian was a great cultivator, how could anyone possibly defeat him!"
"I don't know how he died either, but I'm sure this has something to do with what happened twenty years ago" Huo An said.
Previously, the relationship between the holy fire clan and the bright sky clan was still fine. However, everything changed when Yun Aotian suddenly disappeared twenty years ago.
At that time, Huo Ming and had already tried to ask Yun Aotian's whereabouts to his younger siblings, but they instead accused him of being the cause of Yun Aotian's disappearance.
From then on, the relationship between the two clans began to tenuous, until finally they were completely hostile, especially after Yun Hao replaced his brother as the clan leader.
"Then, what's your plan for the boy?"
Hua An smiled, then explained about Yun Fei and his nephew's relationship, he also said that if the two of them liked each other.
After that, Huo An asked his first brother to give Yun Fei a chance, so that he could prove that he deserved to be with Huo Ling.
"What if the cloud clan refuses?"
"Alright, then this matter I leave it to you."
"Thank you, first brother."
Since there was nothing else to discuss, Huo Ming then allowed them to disband, after all he wanted to see his daughter to ask about her relationship with Yun Fei.
Huo Ling Residence.
"Ling'er" call Huo Ming.
"Dad" said Huo Ling, then approached her father and gave a tight hug.
"How's that young man?"
Huo Ling frowned, "which young man?"
"There's no need to hide it anymore, I already know everything. Now, I'd like to hear what you think of that young man."
"He's a very nice young man, he also once expressed his feelings for me."
"Did you accept it?" huo Ming asked, but was only answered with a headband by his daughter.
Huo Ming let out a long sigh, then expressed his regret, for he had received an arranged marriage from the cloud clan without Huo Ling's consent.
In addition, Huo Ming also gave Huo Ling permission to choose her own path, as she already felt how painful it was to lose someone she loved so much.
As a father, Huo Ming certainly did not want his daughter to feel the same way, so he did not want to shackle her again with the various rules he made.
"Dad sure?" huo Ling asked to make sure.
"When did you ever lie to me?"
"But before that, I wanted to make sure that he was fit to accompany this father's daughter."
"Thank you, father" Huo Ling said, then hugged her father again.
Elsewhere.
After leaving the meeting hall, Huo An went straight to Yun Fei to deliver the happy news, but before arriving at Yun Fei's place, he suddenly paused his intentions.
"If I were to say it now, they probably wouldn't be sure if Yun Fei was so serious."
"Here you go, I'd better let him try himself."
Although he did not deliver the happy news, he did not undo his intention to meet Yun Fei, because after all, he was the only friend of Yun Fei there.
"I've never seen you moody like this" Huo An said after arriving near Yun Fei.
"Sister Huo, why is big brother here?"
"You'd better change your call to me."
"meaning?"
"You like my niece, you've even expressed feelings for her, so is it still appropriate for you to call me brother?"
Yun Fei sighed, then smiled as she shook her head softly, "forget it, because Huo Ling did not give me any answer."
"Are you just going to give up?"
"Of course not! I'm gonna keep trying until he doesn't, I mean, until they accept me."
"Good! I will always support you" Huo An said.
"Yes, you better be prepared, because tomorrow, the members of the cloud clan will come here, and it seems, they won't let you off just like that."
Yun Fei frowned, he seemed a little confused by Huo An's words, because he felt that he had never offended the cloud clan, even meeting it before.
However, after being explained by Huo An, Yun Fei finally understood why they would not let go of him, especially the young master of the cloud family who was betrothed to Huo Ling.
