96: Unexpected news

With the Silverwing Gryphon speeding along, Su Yuan and the others quickly left the Molten Volcano Mountains.

Tianyun City was less than eighty li away from the outskirts of the Molten Volcano Mountains.

After flying over the Molten Volcano Mountains, the Silverwing Gryphon brought Su Yuan and Song Zhenfeng to the outskirts of Tianyun City in less than a quarter of an hour.

Upon arriving outside Tianyun City, to avoid causing panic among the people of Tianyun City, Song Zhenfeng recalled the Silverwing Gryphon to his Beast Taming Space.

He then reached out and grabbed Su Yuan's arm, flying directly with him to the entrance of the Huangfu Family compound.

The senior members of the Huangfu Family had already been waiting at the gate.

"Huangfu Shiba, on behalf of the Huangfu Family, greets Instructor Song!"

When Su Yuan and Song Zhenfeng appeared outside the Huangfu Family compound, Huangfu Shiba, who was leading the group, hurriedly called out to Song Zhenfeng.

At the same time, he cast a surprised glance at Su Yuan, who was by Song Zhenfeng's side.

Standing beside Huangfu Shiba was Huangfu Yunzhao, whom Song Zhenfeng had come to Tianyun City to pick up.

Compared to Tianyang City Mayor Zhao Zhongyue and Tianyang No. 1 High School Principal Wang Gang, Huangfu Shiba clearly knew Instructor Song of the Nine Provinces Academy.

"We greet Instructor Song!"

As Huangfu Shiba's voice faded, the dozen or so Experts from the Huangfu Family behind him also greeted Song Zhenfeng in unison.

Seeing this, Song Zhenfeng nodded at the crowd, then let his gaze fall upon Huangfu Yunzhao, who was standing next to Huangfu Shiba, and said with a faint smile:

"Shiba, this young lady beside you must be Huangfu Yunzhao."

Huangfu Shiba nodded upon hearing this.

"Huangfu Yunzhao greets Instructor Song."

Huangfu Yunzhao greeted Song Zhenfeng very politely at this moment.

She then looked at Su Yuan, who was beside Song Zhenfeng, with a gleam of pleasant surprise in her eyes.

"Hehe, Su Yuan, you two little ones go ahead and chat; Shiba and I have some matters to discuss."

Song Zhenfeng keenly noticed Huangfu Yunzhao's gaze, turned his head to look at Su Yuan beside him, and said with a faint smile.

Afterward, he stepped forward and, at the invitation of Huangfu Shiba and the others, walked toward the Huangfu Family compound.

"Su Yuan, you really were admitted to the Nine Provinces Academy in advance! I knew your talent and strength would definitely catch the attention of the Nine Provinces Academy!"

After Song Zhenfeng and Huangfu Shiba's group hurried into the Huangfu Family compound, Huangfu Yunzhao looked at Su Yuan and said with pleasant surprise.

"This is also thanks to my principal and the Tianyang City mayor."

"If they hadn't reported my situation, I reckon I would have inevitably had to spend a few more days participating in the core student competition with the other candidates before being spotted by the Experts from the various top Beastmaster universities."

Hearing Huangfu Yunzhao's words, Su Yuan attributed all the credit to Zhao Zhongyue and Wang Gang.

"Although your principal and mayor pushed for it, you still have to be outstanding enough to get early attention. Otherwise, why weren't other people recommended?"

"You, don't be so modest in front of me."

Seeing Su Yuan being so modest, Huangfu Yunzhao shook her head and smiled.

Su Yuan smiled slightly upon hearing this, neither confirming nor denying.

Afterward, he asked with a hint of curiosity:

"Yunzhao, why don't I see your father this time?"

Facing the arrival of a King-level Beastmaster like Song Zhenfeng, the Huangfu Family should have had all their senior members come out to welcome him to show respect to a King-level Beastmaster like Song Zhenfeng.

But the one leading the group just now was not the current Clan Chief of the Huangfu Family, Huangfu Shiyao, but rather the number two figure, Huangfu Shiba.

Su Yuan had noticed this from the beginning, but due to the crowd, he hadn't asked.

Now that only he and Huangfu Yunzhao were left, he had no other reservations.

However, as soon as Su Yuan said this, he realized he might have said the wrong thing.

He saw that the smile on Huangfu Yunzhao's face, which had been there when she heard his question, quickly faded, replaced by a sorrowful expression as she whispered:

"My father is injured and unable to come out to greet guests, so he could only let my second uncle lead the others to welcome Instructor Song at the gate."

"Our grandfather and Instructor Song have a decent relationship, so upon learning that Instructor Song was coming in person, we invited Instructor Song to help check my father's injuries."

"Right now, my second uncle and Instructor Song should already be on their way to see my father."

After Huangfu Yunzhao finished speaking, she pointed toward the group that had already walked away.

"Huangfu Shiyao is injured, and he's so incapacitated that he can't even come out to greet guests; this injury is quite serious."

"It seems that the Huangfu Family might be completely unable to go to the Molten Volcano Mountains to obtain that nine-petaled fire lotus during this period."

"So this is the reason why Huangfu Yunzhao has been delaying contacting me to tell me the news about the nine-petaled fire lotus; it wasn't because she discovered that the Volcano Raven flock was too strong and retreated."

Hearing this, Su Yuan frowned slightly, a sudden realization dawning on him.

The last time Su Yuan came to the Huangfu Family, he happened to catch Huangfu Shiyao discussing the trip to the Cloud Heaven Secret Realm with people from the Yang Family.

After Su Yuan came out of the Voodoo Jungle, Huangfu Shiyao and Huangfu Shiba had already left Tianyun City.

Therefore, Su Yuan was unable to meet with Huangfu Shiyao.

But as the head of the Huangfu Family, Huangfu Shiyao's strength was naturally unquestionable.

He was at least a Tier 7 Lord-level Expert.

Even such a powerful Beastmaster was unable to come out to greet guests at this moment and needed to recuperate at home.

Obviously, the injury Huangfu Shiyao suffered was definitely not light!

Possessing such strength, yet suffering a serious injury, he must have encountered an extremely powerful enemy.

With the backbone of the Huangfu Family severely injured, the Huangfu Family's most important task must be to do everything possible to treat Huangfu Shiyao's injuries, so naturally, they had no time to attend to anything else.

"Yunzhao, take me to visit your uncle; perhaps I can be of help."

After pondering for a moment and figuring everything out, Su Yuan looked at the somewhat sorrowful Huangfu Yunzhao and said in a low voice.

"Okay, Su Yuan, follow me."

"I think my father will be very happy to see you."

To this, Huangfu Yunzhao did not refuse, but instead squeezed out a smile.

She only thought that Su Yuan's offer to visit Huangfu Shiyao was a gesture of politeness.

As for the second half of Su Yuan's sentence, she didn't take it seriously.

The Huangfu Family's strength was not weak, and recently they had invited many Experts and famous doctors to treat her father's injuries, but there had been little improvement.

Although Su Yuan's Beast Taming Talent was extremely astonishing, Huangfu Yunzhao did not really believe that Su Yuan could actually be of any help.

Moreover, now that Song Zhenfeng, a powerful King-level Beastmaster, had stepped in.

Huangfu Yunzhao believed that with Song Zhenfeng personally diagnosing her father's injuries, the situation would definitely improve.

"Mm."

Su Yuan nodded upon hearing this.

Afterward, under the guidance of Huangfu Yunzhao, he walked toward the depths of the Huangfu Family compound.

The two quickened their pace and rapidly caught up with the group of Huangfu Shiba and Song Zhenfeng.
