King of Assassins-Chapter 939 - 654: Lesson

The young woman's behavior was arrogant and unruly, completely disregarding Gao Xuan.

This was the corridor of the training base's teaching building, and there were many trainees in the corridor.

From her attire, it was clear the young woman was an outsider. Her domineering attitude at the training base aroused dissatisfaction among many trainees.

However, the trainees were all exceptionally wise individuals. Even if they were displeased with the young woman, no one would rashly stand out.

People were watching from afar, fervently discussing privately.

"Who is this, acting so full of herself!"

"This woman is quite pretty, why does she look so vicious and hateful..."

"Where did this person come from, causing such a ruckus in the Inspection Department training camp..."

Huo Zhengying, among the crowd, noticed something was amiss and reminded everyone in the group chat: "Don't talk recklessly, this woman is from the Huo Family."

"Isn't she your family member, why is she like this?"

Huo Zhengying was well-liked in the training camp, with many friends, and someone immediately joked, expressing their dissatisfaction.

Huo Zhengying gave a bitter smile: "Huo Family people aren't all the same. If I'm not mistaken, the person who just left was Huo Wen Yuan, the Vice Minister Huo's beloved grandson, rumored to be very favored by Elder Huo."

Upon hearing these words, no one dared to make a sound.

Vice Minister Huo Wuming of the Inspection Department was a prominent figure, ranked within the top fifty in the Holy Hall's power structure.

A person of such stature, with just one displeased glare, could make those he frowned upon disappear instantly.

Besides, everyone involved in the Inspection Department hierarchy mixed well. In the future, they would rely on Huo Wuming for their livelihoods.

Not to mention that they had no significant connection with Gao Xuan; even with a brother by blood, they'd have to sever ties in this situation.

The young woman ignored the people around her, directing a tirade of abuse at Gao Xuan.

After cursing for a while without any reaction from Gao Xuan, he seemed like a block of wood, which only infuriated the woman further.

Having grown accustomed to her arrogance, she didn't think much of Gao Xuan. In her anger, she raised her hand to slap Gao Xuan.

Just as she lifted her hand, the divine light in Gao Xuan's eyes intensified, and a sharp spike of Divine Soul power pierced directly at the woman's Divine Soul.

The Holy Armor and Divine Power Rune Seed on the outer layer of her Divine Soul reacted together, but they couldn't withstand this straightforward, sharp Divine Soul spike.

The woman, with her hand raised high, suddenly saw darkness and fainted on the spot.

The people accompanying her were shocked at first and then furious, preparing to draw swords and take action.

Gao Xuan glanced over them with calm indifference, and their Divine Souls trembled violently, instantly feeling as if plunged into an ice cave. All their anger and courage vanished completely.

Instinctively, everyone lowered their heads and avoided Gao Xuan's gaze.

Gao Xuan didn't bother with them; he stepped directly over the woman's head. Yuan Youyuan, whose hand was being held by Gao Xuan, gave the unconscious woman a fierce glare.

This woman was truly infuriating, provoking from the start and making a mess of things. She really wished she could kick the woman to death.

"What should we do?"

Once outside the teaching building, Yuan Youyuan couldn't hold back, her face filled with worry.

Gao Xuan and she managed to get by at the training base, mostly under Huo Wuming's name.

Yuan Youyuan didn't know the exact relationship between Huo Wen Yuan and Huo Wuming, but from the way he claimed victory over Gao Xuan, it was clear he had significant status.

Huo Wen Yuan was clearly a noble youth with an astonishing temper, turning on his heels and leaving without a second word if something didn't sit right.

In comparison, Gao Xuan beating that woman didn't seem like much, because her status appeared much lower.

True noble youths would uphold their dignity and never curse publicly.

Because of this, this group was even more troublesome.

Gao Xuan stopped, looked to his side at Yuan Youyuan, and said: "This is going to be a bit troublesome. I'm sorry to have dragged you into this."

Yuan Youyuan's expression was somewhat grim: "What are you saying, do you think I'm someone who would sever ties when the situation looks bad and run to cling to another man?"

This question was asked with a harsh tone, Yuan Youyuan was genuinely upset.

"Calm down."

Gao Xuan laughed, holding Yuan Youyuan's delicate hand: "I just wanted to sincerely apologize. I didn't think things through, and now I've implicated you."

"What do you mean, looking at other women?"

Yuan Youyuan was even angrier, gripping Gao Xuan's hand tightly, "No matter what happens, don't think about shaking me off. Even in death, you won't escape my grasp."

"Hahaha..."

Gao Xuan put his arm around Yuan Youyuan's shoulder, "Alright then, since you said so, let's be a pair of lovebirds that live and die together. As long as you don't regret it."

"At worst, we'll die together."

Yuan Youyuan then said somewhat nervously: "If we can live, we should try to. Why don't you go apologize to Huo Wuming?"

Gao Xuan casually replied: "If he's magnanimous, he won't mind. If he's not, an apology won't help."

"I'm telling you not to make things difficult, an apology is about attitude. It's not about whether it's effective or not. He helped us before, we should explain both in terms of emotion and reason."

Yuan Youyuan strongly disagreed with Gao Xuan's actions; living and dying together is one thing, but recklessly opposing the Huo Family is another.

Gao Xuan wasn't really concerned about it, but Yuan Youyuan had a point.

Huo Wuming had helped him, regardless of his intentions. This favor must be acknowledged.

His conflict with the Noble Family was irreconcilable, but it wasn't directly related to Huo Wuming.

Gao Xuan still reached out to Huo Wuming. He certainly had no authority to communicate directly with Huo Wuming, so he sent an email to explain the situation briefly and expressed sincere apologies.

As for how Huo Wuming felt, Gao Xuan couldn't control it. It didn't mean much to him either.

Huo Wuming did receive the email and he read it.

Huo Wuming had already forgotten about Gao Xuan; to him, this person was just a minor figure seemingly useful but not worthy of truly being remembered. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Only upon seeing the email did Huo Wuming recall he had arranged for this person to undergo training.

A mere low-born vagrant, he only achieved his current status thanks to Huo Wuming's support. Not only does he not show gratitude, he doesn't even respect the Huo Family. Truly foolish...

Huo Wuming was quite displeased, thinking Gao Xuan was too ignorant. Why did he promote and support Gao Xuan, if not for him to serve the Huo Family?

When it was time for Gao Xuan to serve, he made excuses to shirk.

Gao Xuan claimed he had important matters to attend to; how important could his matters be? Could they be more important than the Huo Family's?

Huo Wuming had a low opinion of Gao Xuan, yet as someone of high status, it was beneath him to trouble Gao Xuan over such trivial matters.

Just as he was contemplating, he received a communiqué from Huo Wen Yuan, whom he quite liked as his grandson.

In this lineage, Huo Wen Yuan had great talent. Despite being somewhat arrogant, what young person isn't?

With some training, he would naturally lose his impulsiveness.

On the screen, Huo Wen Yuan's handsome, clean face appeared, but his expression was very angry.

"Grandfather, the dog you've raised is disobedient, it must be killed!"

"We Huo Family People should avoid shouting and killing, it's disgraceful."

Huo Wuming said leisurely, "To discipline a family dog, do you really need to be so loud?"

Huo Wen Yuan felt ashamed by the reprimand and quickly bowed to admit his mistake, "Grandfather, I understand."

He curiously asked, "Grandfather, how should we deal with this dog?"

"No need to rush. The life and death of this dog is merely a matter of my words."

Huo Wuming lectured, "The first thing a superior must have is magnanimity and not be swayed by emotions."

Huo Wen Yuan said aggrievedly, "I've never suffered such humiliation. The key is, it's the dog our family raised, shaming me in public, which also discredits you."

"Enough."

Huo Wuming said with some amusement, "I'll grant you the authority to deal with it, go ahead."

Huo Wen Yuan was greatly excited, "That's great, I'll go hang the dog now."

"That's too foolish."

Huo Wuming shook his head, "To kill an object of disdain with one stroke is the dullest revenge. Slowly strip him of his wealth, his family and friends, make him realize his mistakes, and when he begs at your feet, then finish him off..."

Huo Wen Yuan was greatly excited, "Grandfather's teaching is wise; I'm too young. I'll go do it now."

"Go ahead and don't disgrace the Huo Family."

Once the screen was off, Huo Wuming contacted Jin Yijun: "Yi Jun, I have some personal matters, can you help handle them?"

Although Jin Yijun was the Golden Belt Saint, he was at the bottom echelon within the supervision headquarters, specifically responsible for executing tasks. This job was exhausting, troublesome, and often subject to blame.

As a direct subordinate to Huo Wuming, Jin Yijun was of much lower standing compared to him. It was only natural for Huo Wuming to ask him to handle personal matters.

At Huo Wuming's level, his personal matters were considered the most significant official matters. And helping the leader with personal tasks was the leader's favor; others wished for such opportunities but couldn't get them.

Jin Yijun quickly agreed; helping Huo Wen Yuan deal with Gao Xuan was too easy.

Jin Yijun had been monitoring Gao Xuan before, so he knew him well.

A minor Foundation Establishment Cultivator from humble beginnings, with sharp perception, always accurately sensing the Evil God's location. This talent was indeed valuable.

Unfortunately, Gao Xuan was ungrateful and offended his greatest support, thus the road ended for him.

Jin Yijun felt no pity for Gao Xuan, thinking this fool brought about his own demise, dying deservedly!

With Jin Yijun involved, the training base promptly reacted.

Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan had just returned to the dormitory when they received notification from the training base's office: due to serious violations of discipline, they were being expelled immediately.

All training achievements were nullified, and trainee status revoked.

Due to their serious violations, the training office suffered significant reputational damage.

All bonuses and rewards during training were fully retracted, including all training fees, which Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan must repay.

After reading the notice, Yuan Youyuan was furious, "This is truly unreasonable!"

At this moment, a staff member arrived, "Since you've both been expelled, I've received notice to ask you to leave the apartment immediately..."
