He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...
1103
The exchange competition between the mainland and Hong Kong has officially begun.
He Tiantian glanced around as she entered.
Perhaps it was a psychological connection, but He Tiantian's gaze fell on a man in the audience.
The man was wearing sunglasses, but the aura he exuded was familiar to He Tiantian.
When He Tiantian looked over, Huo Yingjie raised his left hand and drew a circle in the air.
He Tiantian smiled; this was Huo Yingjie.
He came to Hong Kong to protect her.
That's good, with him around, she's not afraid anymore.
However, it was under a different identity, not Huo Yingjie.
Given Huo Yingjie's current status, if he were to apply to come to Hong Kong, he would have to go through layers of approval, and it might not even be approved, and it could also cause him trouble.
It's too much trouble, not worth it.
So the couple decided that it was better to avoid trouble and come under a different identity while keeping one person in Yanjing to work.
With Huo Yingjie's arrival, He Tiantian was completely relieved.
Meanwhile, Li Xian, Cui Ying, and others were also present, so she could compete with peace of mind.
The swimming stars in Hong Kong are all well-trained and have achieved good results, but they can't compare to the mainland's national swimming team, which invests heavily in its sport. Especially formidable competitors like He Tiantian, they are simply unmatched by the Hong Kong team.
He Tiantian's achievements swept across Hong Kong and earned her numerous accolades.
Tang Qian, Qi Zhengmin, Xie Wanying, Qian Zhigao, and others also came to watch the competition and cheered for He Tiantian.
Beautiful women receive preferential treatment everywhere.
Xu Weiwei also arrived with Granny Ma.
In the audience, Xu Weiwei kept staring at He Tiantian, her gaze involuntarily fixed on her.
Huo Yingjie, wearing sunglasses, immediately looked at Xu Weiwei and Granny Ma beside her.
Cui Ying had investigated Xu Weiwei, and she could recognize her even when Xu Weiwei was wearing trendy sunglasses.
Cui Ying was not far from Xu Weiwei and could sense the subtle changes in Xu Weiwei.
This woman doesn't like sports and shouldn't have come to watch the game. Her presence here suggests she knows that He Tiantian is Huo's daughter-in-law.
Are you here now to seek revenge?
As for the Snake King Li Xian, he is very sensitive to things that are not human, especially things that have a little bit of spirituality.
He could sense that there were two worms inside the bodies of the old and young women.
Although he looked like a worm, he had never seen such a disgusting worm before.
Ugh... I really feel like throwing up...
However, for this reason, Li Xian glanced at Xu Weiwei and Granny Ma.
As for Huo Yingjie, he noticed the problem with the two of them very early on and has been keeping a close eye on it ever since.
Grandma Ma sat down, looking somewhat uneasy. She glanced around the entire arena and naturally spotted He Tiantian.
Grandma Ma couldn't sense anything special about He Tiantian and thought she was just an ordinary person, so she felt a little relieved. However, just as she relaxed and started teaching her apprentice Xu Weiwei, she felt three unusual gazes.
Immediately, Granny Ma thought to herself, "This is bad; there really is a master here."
Although those people in mainland China shattered many metaphysical ideas more than a decade ago, there are still many reclusive masters and experts among the people.
"Weiwei, let's leave," Granny Ma said, getting up to leave without explanation.
"Grandma Ma, what's wrong?" Yu Weiwei asked. "He Tiantian is just an ordinary person!"
Granny Ma looked at Yu Weiwei, her eyes wide, and said, "Let's go!"
Xu Weiwei had never seen Granny Ma speak so sternly before. She was puzzled but also a little scared, so she quickly helped Granny Ma leave.
Even after leaving the stadium and getting into the car outside, Grandma Ma still looked solemn.
"Grandma Ma, why are we leaving?" Xu Weiwei asked as she drove. They had planned that after He Tiantian finished her competition, she would interact with the audience and take the opportunity to ask for autographs, appearing very excited, and then touch He Tiantian's body.
Grandma Ma said slowly after they had gone quite a distance from the stadium, "I sensed a threat inside."
"A threat?" Xu Weiwei said, "I didn't feel anything!"
"That's because you're not skilled enough," Granny Ma said. "There are at least three people protecting He Tiantian, which shows that the Huo family has sent many people for He Tiantian's trip to Hong Kong. If we act rashly, we will only face certain death, with no chance of survival."
Even at her peak, Granny Ma might not have been able to handle those three people, and she might not have been able to defeat even one of them.
"Three people?" Xu Weiwei was taken aback. "So many?"
“Yes, the Huo family probably knows they have enemies in Hong Kong, which is why they sent so many people,” Granny Ma said. “Not only are there three people who practice metaphysics, but there are also six plainclothes officers with guns.”
Although Granny Ma's martial arts skills are not what they used to be, she has a very sensitive sense of touch and strong observation skills.
Even if Xu Weiwei cultivates for ten years, she may not be able to reach the level of Granny Ma.
"Oh my god!" Xu Weiwei exclaimed in surprise, "Master, does that mean we have no chance?"
Granny Ma's expression was solemn, and after a long while, she slowly said, "There is no hope at the moment, because if we don't get close to He Tiantian, we will be discovered, so we cannot get close. At the very least, I cannot get close. As for you, you haven't been cultivating for long enough, so as long as you don't do it intentionally, you shouldn't be discovered."
Hearing this, Xu Weiwei felt a little better and said, "Master, after we go back, I will cultivate diligently, and there will always be opportunities in the future."
"Yes, as the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn." Granny Ma was very satisfied with her apprentice's words. She was just afraid that her apprentice would be angry and act impulsively, which would only result in a complete loss, let alone any revenge.
It seems that taking Xu Weiwei as his apprentice might have been the right choice, as it would allow him to pass on what she has learned.
"Yes, Master, I shouldn't have acted rashly." Xu Weiwei nodded. Although she was somewhat disappointed, she knew that the other party was too strong, and she couldn't force the issue.
She's still young, she can take her time.
Besides, she still has her mother and her master; she cannot put them in danger.
Xu Canyun was chanting scriptures at home when she was surprised to see her daughter, Granny Ma, return so quickly. But she was more worried than surprised.
"How did it go?" Xu Canyun asked. It couldn't have been done so quickly, could it?
“There are too many of them, so we don’t have a chance to make a move,” Xu Weiwei said. “Our master said we can’t force it.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Canyun looked at Granny Ma.
Granny Ma nodded and said, "That's right. We are outnumbered. Rather than die, we should conserve our strength and wait for the right opportunity."
