"Take you to the Great Wilderness? Aren't you still under house arrest?"
"No... How did you know I was going to the Great Wilderness tomorrow?"
Buyetian Huoming looked at Buyetian Huoxing with some caution.
Facing Buyetian Huoming's alertness, Buyetian Huoxing remained relaxed and cheerful, speaking with a smile.
"Sister Huo Ming, you know I'm under house arrest, and I know you're leaving for the Great Wilderness tomorrow. Isn't that normal?"
"Besides...it's only natural to be concerned about your sisters' whereabouts, isn't it?"
However, this explanation naturally could not convince Buye Tianhuo Ming.
Although it was no secret that she would set off for the Great Wilderness again tomorrow, she had only made this decision not long ago and had only notified a few old subordinates who were also on standby in the City That Never Sleeps to prepare to set off tomorrow morning.
Huo Ming of Buyetian had the highest standard entry and exit permit, and this trip was carried out under the order of his mother, the head of the Buyetian family, so Huo Ming of Buyetian did not need to inform anyone of the matter or go through any docking procedures.
Logically speaking, the news shouldn't spread so quickly, and even Huo Xing in Buyetian should know about it immediately.
Especially since Huo Xing from Buyetian is still under house arrest!
Although this was not a dangerous signal, it was still something beyond Huo Ming's expectations.
So she had to figure out...
"Who on earth did you learn that from?"
Buyetian Huoming looked at Buyetian Huoxing and said seriously.
Realizing that Buyetian Huoming's current attitude was not something he could fool with a joke, Buyetian Huoxing scratched his cheek and explained in a low voice: "Ah, I always... have some connections..."
Huo Ming's brows furrowed even more. "Connections, in other words, someone deliberately revealed this to you?"
Butler? Maid?
Or is it... the Nevernight Fire Music?
Huo Xing seemed to see through Huo Ming's speculation and said, "Sister Huo Ming, don't speculate within the confines of this mansion. My source of information... is in the outer city."
"I have some friends in the outer city. They told me that many of your subordinates suddenly canceled their reservations for the private rooms in the outer city bar tonight and started sending their equipment for emergency maintenance. They're probably going to set off again for the Great Wilderness."
"They thought this information might be helpful to me, so they told me."
Huo Ming of the Nightless Sky was very surprised: "You have friends in the outer city..."
"I'm always going out to the city, so some of my friends are pretty normal," Huo Xing said matter-of-factly. "I just hate social activities, but I don't hate making friends!"
Huo Ming frowned and said, "But the people from the outer city are all low-class, inferior, stupid, and morally corrupt. If you make friends with them..."
"So I was grounded by my mother."
Huo Xing of Buyetian spread out his hands.
Then she added with a smile, "I'm just kidding—not all people from the outer city are criminals. You're kind of stereotyping us, Sister Huo Ming."
"You've been active in the Great Wilderness, and you should have met friendly and polite people there, right? Don't tell me you haven't secretly made friends with them!"
After hearing what Buyetian Huoxing said, Buyetian Huoming was speechless.
"That's true..."
Although Huo Ming's main job in the Nevernight City is to ensure the security of the various businesses and bases of the Truth Company in the Great Wilderness, it includes a lot of "severely attacking the people of the Great Wilderness".
But Huo Ming of the Never-Night Sky could not deny that he did maintain a relatively good cooperative relationship with some people from the Great Wilderness - after all, using people from the Great Wilderness to rule over other people in the Great Wilderness was a very useful method.
Upon hearing Buyetian Huoming's words, Buyetian Huoxing immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Right, Sister Huoming—actually, in the eyes of other nobles, especially those who are also royal nobles like us, we are essentially 'rebels'."
"So... you'll help me with the trip to the Great Wilderness, right?"
When Buyetian Huoming heard Buyetian Huoxing's words, he came back to his senses and shook his head slightly.
"That won't work... Bringing someone without a permit to the Great Wilderness is a serious violation. Whether it's the laws of the City That Never Sleeps, the company's charter, or even our own house rules, such behavior is expressly prohibited."
"Even if we take a step back, if I really have to bring someone... it definitely can't be you—if Mother finds out, she'll definitely kill me!"
"What's more, you're still under house arrest... If I take you out of the Buyetian family, I'll be disobeying my mother. If I really take you directly to the Great Wilderness, I'll really be courting death."
"Huo Xing... I think you should understand better than anyone else that we are absolutely not allowed to disobey Mother's orders."
Huo Ming of Buyetian said seriously.
Huo Xing curled her lips and said, "Oh, then why don't we just not let Mother know?"
"Do you think you hid it from your mother?"
Huo Ming from the Nevernight Sky asked back.
Huo Xing nodded: "Actually, I've smuggled myself into the Great Wilderness before... but I didn't go very far because I lacked a guide and supplies."
"My mother didn't notice...or rather, even if she did, she didn't try to stop me."
"Don't worry too much, Sister Huo Ming," Huo Xing lowered her eyes and said softly, "I'm not Sister Huo Le or Brother Huo Shu. Mother doesn't value me that much, nor does she have that many expectations of me."
When Buyetian Huoming heard what Buyetian Huoxing said, he opened his mouth and still wanted to refuse her.
But when the words of refusal came to my lips, I couldn't say them.
Because in the eyes of Huo Ming of Buyetian... Huo Xing of Buyetian is indeed a bit similar to himself.
Even though she and Buyetian Huo Le had the same father, a distinguished and noble bloodline, from the direct line of the Shenglan family, she was also a "marginal person" in this family because of her naturally eccentric and unsociable personality.
The previous birthday party seems to be the best example.
Her repeated escapes to the outer city and her previous escape from the birthday party were perhaps all forms of her silent resistance.
I have been secretly uniting with those marginalized and disinherited people from other families to help each other... But I seem to have always overlooked that among my biological sisters who share the same blood as me, there is also a person who suffers the same fate as me.
Buyetian Huoming looked at Buyetian Huoxing and spoke in a low voice.
"But the wilderness is dangerous. It's not a fun place."
Huo Xing laughed: "I believe you, dear sister Huo Ming - you will definitely protect me, right?"
"Don't worry, I'm just going out to get some fresh air. I'll be back before we really go deep into the wilderness!"
