After failing her nirvana, the Phoenix Empress opened her eyes to find herself reborn into a mortal girl in a world of declining magic. This girl was also the true daughter of a wealthy family, los...
Chapter 194 Ignorance is fearless
"Damn it, every time I run into that mad dog, nothing good happens. It's so unlucky!"
Young Master Su was walking out while cursing when suddenly a figure came from the front and several of them almost bumped into him.
"Which bastard is so blind..."
The curse that was about to come out of his mouth got stuck in his throat. Young Master Su stood there in a daze, his eyes full of amazement.
She was wearing a green long skirt that dragged on the ground, highlighting her graceful curves. Her black and smooth hair was loose, and she had thin eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a beautiful nose, cherry lips, and a delicate chin that was slightly raised. She looked at the few people with cold eyes.
Young Master Su looked at her without blinking, his heart pounding.
He had never seen a woman who was so beautiful and aggressive, and he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of conquest in his heart.
"Beautiful lady, would you mind having a drink with me?"
Young Master Su stretched out his right hand, smiling wickedly, his tone revealing a hint of frivolity.
Beside him, Young Master Lin quickly pulled him and whispered, "This is the protagonist of today's banquet, Huo Qinghuang."
Young Master Su’s smile froze on his face.
As a young man from a top wealthy family in the imperial capital, Young Master Su was just like all the other playboys. Apart from eating, drinking, and having fun, he would flirt with girls, sometimes all night long.
So I got up a little late today and missed the scene where the Huo family introduced Huo Qinghuang to everyone.
"The sister that Huo Laowu found in the countryside?"
Young Master Su looked at Huo Qinghuang and frowned, "Didn't you say he was a country bumpkin? Why doesn't he look like one?"
"Haha, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. This woman looks like a completely different person after just a little dressing up, not to mention that she's dressed so grandly."
The girl in the white dress said sourly with a glint of jealousy in her eyes.
Hearing this, Young Master Su glanced at her heavily made-up face and couldn't help but twitching his eyes.
The daughter of the Chen family is not very smart. When she talks about others, she doesn't even consider her own character. It's better to stay away from her to avoid being infected.
He curled his lips and moved to the side inconspicuously.
Huo Qinghuang glanced at a few people indifferently, and a ray of golden light flashed in his eyes, sweeping across their faces.
“The Su family, seemingly half military and half martial, is actually an ancient martial arts family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
The Lin family seems to be thriving, but in fact, it is in tatters and will soon go bankrupt.
The Qi and Chen families are just second-rate families. Do you dare to bark here?"
These people are children of wealthy families after all, but they don't even know how to avoid being seen when talking. She heard people talking about the Huo family from a distance, so how could she not fight back?
Huo Qinghuang spoke in a calm tone, but her words made the expressions of Su Sanshao and others change drastically.
Young Master Lin's face turned pale and he angrily said, "Miss Huo slandered my Lin family right away. Is this the Huo family's education?"
The thin young man is from the Qi family in the imperial capital, his name is Qi Yuan, and the girl in the white dress is from the Chen family, her name is Chen Mengmeng.
At this moment, after hearing what Huo Qinghuang said, both of them had a look of shame and anger on their faces and stared at her angrily.
"Growing up in the countryside, what kind of family education can you have? A bumpkin is a bumpkin. Even if your Huo family is powerful, do you dare to be an enemy of our families?"
Chen Mengmeng asked sharply.
She was quite scheming and knew how to tie the Su family and the Lin family together with them. Even Huo Qinghuang didn't have the courage to say yes.
"Heh, several families are enemies? Are you Chen family worthy enough?"
Huo Qinghuang glanced at her indifferently, her eyes full of mockery and contempt.
"you……"
Chen Mengmeng's face turned red, and she wished she could rush forward and tear her mouth apart.
This woman looks so noble, but her words are so sarcastic and harsh. She is so annoying!
Young Master Su, who was standing aside, was so shocked that he was speechless.
The Su family is indeed an ancient martial arts family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, but few people know this secret except for the major Taoist sects and ancient martial arts families.
But now, this country bumpkin can actually say it in one sentence, how is this possible? !
I heard that the daughter of the Huo family can tell fortunes and summon ghosts. Could she be a disciple of some Taoist sect?
Thinking of some rumors he had heard, Young Master Su felt that he had found the answer. His eyes suddenly lit up and he rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Miss Huo, don't talk nonsense. That's all untrue. But Miss Huo is so beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful girl before. I wonder if Huo Qinghuang would be so kind as to have a drink with her?"
He made a shameless and calm invitation.
Hehe, it’s good to be a country bumpkin, because it’s easier to cheat people this way.
As long as he can catch the other party, he can also be connected with the Taoist sect, and he won't be scolded by his family for being useless.
Let’s see who dares to look down on him from now on!
Huo Qinghuang narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the self-righteous look of Young Master Su, feeling a sense of disgust in her heart.
Thinking back to the time when so many geniuses in the world wanted to drink with her all night, they were beaten by her and cried for their parents. From then on, they avoided her as far as they could see.
This guy is truly ignorant and fearless.
"Do you think you are worthy to drink with me?"
Her voice was calm, yet it seemed to carry the chill of winter. Every word she spoke made Young Master Su's expression even uglier.
"Huo Qinghuang, don't go too far!"
Young Master Su was furious. He usually acted recklessly in the imperial capital, so he had never been humiliated like this before.
“It’s really the ignorance that’s fearless.”
Huo Qinghuang smiled faintly, shook her head, turned and left. Her cold and elegant demeanor seemed like a slap in everyone's face.
"you!"
Young Master Su clenched his fists, veins popping out on his forehead. Just as he was about to rush forward, he was grabbed by Young Master Lin.
"Su San, don't be impulsive. This is the Huo family's territory. We can't do anything rash."
Although the Second Young Master Lin was also very angry about Huo Qinghuang's words, he was more rational than the Third Young Master Su and was well aware of the consequences of causing trouble on the Huo family's territory.
Young Master Su took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He stared at Huo Qinghuang's back fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "Huo Qinghuang, just wait for me. Sooner or later, I will get you!"
Huo Qinghuang pretended not to hear it and walked slowly towards the center of the banquet hall.
At this time, people in the hall were toasting each other and laughing.
The Huo family invited almost all the important figures in the imperial capital to the banquet, with the purpose of formally introducing Huo Qinghuang, the daughter of the Huo family who had returned from the countryside.
Huo Qinghuang's appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The men's eyes were full of amazement and admiration, while the women mostly looked at her with jealousy and disdain.
However, Huo Qinghuang didn't care about it at all. Her eyes searched the crowd and finally fell on an old man with gray hair and a gloomy face.
This person was none other than Mr. Song, who came to attend the banquet despite being unwell.
Ever since Song Yuanhang said he wanted to teach the Huo family a lesson, he has not been seen since. His phone call is also unreachable and no matter how hard we look for him we cannot find him.
Old Master Song became anxious, and dragged his sick body, which was about to go to see the King of Hell, and had people carry it to the Huo family banquet.
He wanted to find out clearly whether the Huo family had killed his grandson.
Huo Qinghuang looked at Mr. Song and sneered in his heart.
She knew the purpose of Mr. Song's visit, but she was not worried that he might cause any trouble.
In her eyes, these so-called wealthy families are nothing but ants.
