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 260 Do You Want Huo Lingchuan to Live?
Huo Jiayue lowered her head, her fingers twisted together unconsciously, and her thoughts were churning in her heart.
Of course she understood the deeper meaning of Huo Qinghuang's words.
As the adopted daughter of the Huo family, her greatest wish is to stay in the Huo family forever.
Although her parents would not drive her away, she also wanted to prove that she had the ability to contribute to the Huo family.
In order to do this, she must have the corresponding strength.
Alchemy is, at present, the industry in which she can most easily realize her own value.
That’s right, Huo Jiayue didn’t really like making pills, but her second brother liked it and her sister also needed pills to practice, so she had to learn how to make pills.
"Sister, I understand."
Huo Jiayue raised her head, with a firm look in her eyes, "I will focus more on refining the elixir and won't be distracted anymore."
Huo Qinghuang nodded, and his tone softened a little: "I understand. When it comes to alchemy, one must be focused. If you are distracted, it will affect the quality of the pill.
Although your talent is average, as long as you work hard, you may become the Huo family's alchemy master in the future."
Huo Jiayue's heart warmed when she heard this, and a glimmer of longing flashed in her eyes.
She has known her background since she was a child, so she has always had a low self-esteem.
But Huo Qinghuang's words gave her great encouragement.
"Sister, I will try my best!"
Huo Jiayue clenched his fists, thought for a moment, and then asked, "By the way, are these pills of mine still useful?"
Huo Qinghuang threw the porcelain bottle to Huo Jiayue and said, "Although the quality is not good, it is also good for people who don't practice cultivation. You can eat it when you have some illness."
"real?"
Huo Jiayue's eyes lit up and she said happily, "That's great. Aunt Liu has had back pain these days. Come on, take one!"
As she spoke, she poured out a pill and stuffed it into Liu Ma's mouth.
Aunt Liu was startled by Huo Jiayue's sudden action and waved her hands quickly, saying, "Oh, Second Miss, this won't work! My back pain is an old problem. How can taking a pill help?"
Huo Jiayue was not willing to give up, and said with a smile: "Aunt Liu, just try it! This is the elixir I made myself. Although the quality is average, my sister said it is good for ordinary people!"
Aunt Liu had no choice but to take the pill and carefully put it into her mouth. The pill melted in her mouth, with a faint medicinal fragrance. Aunt Liu smacked her lips and smiled, "It tastes good, but it's a little bitter."
Huo Jiayue looked at her expectantly: "Aunt Liu, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
Aunt Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Second Miss, how can this medicine work so quickly? Besides, my back pain is an old problem, how can I expect it to be cured by just one pill?"
Huo Qinghuang said calmly, "Although the pills don't work immediately, they can indeed relieve some symptoms. Aunt Liu, you should take care to rest these two days and don't overwork yourself."
Aunt Liu nodded quickly: "Thank you for your concern, Miss. I will pay attention to it in the next two days."
Seeing that Aunt Liu had taken the elixir, Huo Jiayue felt more at ease. She turned to Huo Qinghuang and said, "Sister, can you ask my second brother to send me some herbs? Don't worry, I will definitely make a better elixir!"
Huo Qinghuang glanced at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a rare smile: "Okay, it's getting late, you should go to rest first. I will teach you some alchemy techniques tomorrow."
Huo Jiayue nodded and went back to her room obediently.
Huo Qinghuang walked to the dining table, finished his meal quickly, and then returned to his room. After closing the door, the smile on his face gradually faded.
She walked to the desk, took out a stack of yellow paper and cinnabar from her bag, and began to draw a talisman.
Drawing talismans was not difficult for her, it just didn't look very good.
As she wrote, she sorted out the merits she had just gained.
After the merit entered her body, her sea of consciousness became more stable, and the black blood in her soul actually faded a little.
It's just a tiny bit and not very obvious.
This made her more determined to gain merit.
As long as she continues to accumulate, she will be able to return to her peak state sooner or later.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, just as Huo Qinghuang got up, she heard a knock on the door.
Huo Qinghuang frowned, stood up and opened the door, only to see Huo Jiayue standing at the door, holding up her phone and asking, "Sister, I forgot to tell you yesterday that today is the day when Brother Wu is holding a farewell party for his fans. Are you going?"
Her little face was pretty and her eyes were full of anticipation.
Huo Qinghuang glanced at her and said coldly, "No, you are not allowed to go either."
Huo Lingchuan is in danger today. If he doesn't handle it carefully, his life will be in danger.
With the addition of Huo Jiayue, the disaster will increase exponentially. Does Huo Lingchuan still need to live?
After hearing what Huo Qinghuang said, the expectation on Huo Jiayue's face froze instantly, replaced by a hint of grievance and confusion.
She pouted and muttered quietly, "But, Fifth Brother's farewell fan meeting is his last public appearance, and he will retire from the entertainment industry. As his sister, how can I not go?"
Huo Qinghuang looked cold and said in an unquestionable tone: "I said, you are not allowed to go. Just go to school obediently. Huo Lingchuan will handle his own affairs. You will only cause trouble if you go."
Huo Jiayue wanted to argue a few more times, but when she saw Huo Qinghuang's cold eyes, she swallowed the words back.
She lowered her head dejectedly and muttered quietly: "Okay, I won't go."
Huo Qinghuang looked at her and felt a little soft in his heart. He said in a more gentle tone, "Wait until your fifth brother has mastered martial arts. Then you can ask him to show you in public. Wouldn't it be more impressive than it is now?"
"Won't that take a long time?"
Fifth brother is so lazy that he hasn't developed internal strength yet. By the time he becomes a master of martial arts, she will probably have one foot in the coffin.
"Hmm? What did you say?"
Huo Qinghuang raised her eyes slightly.
"No, nothing."
Huo Jiayue stuck out her tongue: "I'm going to school."
After saying that, she trotted back to her room, not forgetting to close the door gently.
Huo Qinghuang closed the door, returned to the room, stood in front of the window and fell into deep thought.
She cannot directly intervene in Huo Lingchuan's fate, otherwise it will disrupt cause and effect and cause greater trouble.
Fortunately, he has a talisman to protect himself. I just hope his luck is not so bad and good things will come to him.
…
For safety reasons, after discussing with Huo Lingchuan, Ji Sheng arranged a farewell party for Huo Lingchuan's fans at a five-star hotel owned by the Huo family.
The scene was decorated warmly and grandly. A huge poster was printed with Huo Lingchuan's handsome smile, and the surrounding area was filled with flowers and gifts from fans.
Fans arrived at the scene early, holding cheering signs, their faces filled with excitement and reluctance.
Ji Sheng adjusted his glasses and looked around vigilantly with his sharp eyes.
When he saw the excited smiles of the fans, the solemn expression on his face paused instantly and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
