Chapter 369

He is not stupid and can tell whether the other person is sincere or not.

It was because he had been rejected so many times that he got used to it and learned not to force things. For example, today when he tried to strike up a conversation and was scolded by the maids, he planned to slip away.

Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the better and Mo Jiuwei actually agreed.

Everyone: ...

Even the seven maids who originally had some dissatisfaction with him softened their expressions and showed some sympathy.

I wanted to comfort her by saying something like, “You’re not ugly.” But when I opened my mouth, I found… I couldn’t say anything.

They didn't know how good-looking the Hu family members were, but looking at Hu Xiu's appearance, he was indeed considered one of the ugliest among all the male cultivators.

How can this be comforting?

"People are so superficial. How can Brother Hu, who is such a good person, decide whether to be friends with you just based on your appearance?" Mo Jiuwei slapped the table with her little hand, "I think you are a good person!"

Hu Xiu was touched, "Really? Little sister...by the way, what's your name?"

"My last name is Mo, and my given name is Jiuwei." Mo Jiuwei said with a smile, "Brother Hu, do you really care about your appearance?"

"How can I not care about this, Sister Jiuwei!" Hu Xiu sighed, "I don't want to care about it either, but the people around me remind me all the time that I'm ugly and I don't look like a member of our Hu family. This is really uncomfortable!"

Mo Jiuwei looked at him and asked, "Did something happen to your mother when she was pregnant with you?"

"Huh?" Hu Xiu was stunned. "What do you mean by something happened? I haven't heard my mother mention it."

"I was poisoned before, but the poison was cured later."

"This, I don't know. Are you saying that my appearance is because my mother was poisoned?" Hu Xiu was surprised.

“It is possible.”

"Is that so? Then I'll go ask my mother!" Hu Xiu seemed very excited. "If this is really the reason, then my mother must apologize to me! She is the one who usually says I am ugly the most!"

Not only her, but also her sisters, always looked at his face and shook their heads and sighed.

If it was because of drugs, then he was the victim!

"Well, you can go and ask." Mo Jiuwei nodded, "If that's the reason, there is a pill that is good for your condition."

【Nine out of ten.】

[Being ugly is nothing, but looking different from everyone in the family is unusual. And there is a small sunken hole in the center of his forehead, which is probably caused by poisoning.]

[It’s just that his mother herself may not even remember this. ]

"Really? Then I'll go right away... Sister Jiuwei, wait for me here!"

"Hey, don't worry, let's exchange notes. If you can't make it today, we can meet up another day."

"well."

After hastily exchanging the sound transmission notes, Hu Xiu ran out in a hurry.

He was a man of his words. Even though he was in such a hurry, he still remembered to pay the bill before leaving.

As soon as he left, the whole room became quiet.

Mo Jiuwei smiled and called the maids to eat, "Okay, now it's all ours, eat quickly."

Qiqi burst out laughing, "Master, you did it on purpose!"

Hu Xiu ordered quite a few dishes and only sat down to drink a glass of wine. He didn't even touch the dishes and left in a hurry.

Now there is a large table full of delicious food, which is really a bargain for them.

"Believe me, he cares more about his face than the food on the table," said Mo Jiuwei.

The maids nodded without any doubt.

At this time, Hu Xiu and his follower Kuku ran and rushed to the auction house opposite in a few steps.

Hu Xiu's mother, also known as Ruojiu Fairy, was still busy at this time, apparently estimating the price of items brought by customers.

Hu Xiu was getting anxious and sent a message but there was no response.

"Don't worry, sir. Fairy Ren needs to meet a guest now, so it's not convenient for her to send you a message. Just wait until she's done with her work." The maid in the auction house came forward to comfort him when she saw how anxious he was.

"Oh, I know, but I'm really anxious! Sister Xiaoxiao, can you help me go in and urge her?"

"Uh, it's really not convenient for me to go in. Fairy Ren will be angry. Let's wait a little longer."

Hu Xiu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Well, he had been thinking of going back to the restaurant right after asking questions here, maybe he could even have a chat with Sister Mo.

Now it seems that we may not be able to catch up.

Almost half an hour later, Fairy Ruojiu, who had finished her work, finally came out.

"Your magic weapon will be available at the first auction at the beginning of next month. If it is convenient for you, you can come and watch. If you are too busy and can't come, but you trust us, you don't have to come. Just wait to collect the crystals."

"Of course I believe in the fairy and your auction house."

Hu Xiu stood up and watched his mother send the customer to the door. It was not until Fairy Ruojiu turned around that he called out, "Mom! You are finally done!"

Ruojiu Fairy is a beauty as gorgeous as the morning glow. She is very tall, with broad shoulders, thin waist and long legs. She is a very bright and generous woman, with a red lips that always carries a smile that makes people feel like spring breeze.

Only when he saw his ugly son did he stop laughing, "Why are you yelling? Can't you be calm?"

"Mom, I have something urgent to do. Come and talk to me."

Hu Xiu grabbed her mother and asked when they were alone, "Were you poisoned when you were pregnant with me?"

Ren Ruojiu was about to scold him for being impetuous, but was stunned when he heard this, "What do you mean by poisoning?"

"Ah, think about it carefully before telling me, this is very important!" Hu Xiu reminded anxiously, "Those who have been poisoned but recovered quickly also count."

"No, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Ren Rujiu rolled her eyes at him. "Mom has things to do. If you have nothing to do, go home and practice. Don't run around looking for female practitioners. That's not nice!"

Ren Rujiu just thought her son was fooling around. She did have a lot of things to deal with, so she left in a hurry after answering.

"Hey, mother..." Hu Xiu failed to stop her and stomped his feet in anger.

When he returned to the restaurant, he found out that everyone had finished their meal and left. Hu Xiu had no choice but to go home.

Ren Rujiu was busy until the evening. It was only by chance that she heard from the maid Xiaoxiao that her son had been waiting for her for half an hour.

"He waited half an hour?"

"Yes, and he was in a hurry. If I hadn't stopped him, he might have rushed in to find you."

"Ah, that was my mistake." Ren Ruojiu stroked his forehead, "It seems that he really had something important to say, but I didn't listen carefully. Never mind, I will go home to find him now and see what he wants to know."

At this time, Hu Xiu had already received the answer from his father.

"Your mother was indeed poisoned when she was pregnant with you. How did you know?"
