Chapter 183 It is impolite not to reciprocate
Huo Lingchuan is currently in the rising period of his career and is overwhelmed with so many announcements. It is really difficult for him to give up his career and quit the entertainment industry when he is at the peak of his career.
But as Huo Qinghuang said, practicing martial arts can strengthen the body and prolong the life span to at least over a hundred years, which is a huge temptation for any mortal.
"Don't think that everything will be fine once you have the skills. There is an age limit for any practice. When you are over this age, it will be too late to practice martial arts. I am only reminding you this time. It is up to you whether you listen or not."
Huo Qinghuang said calmly, not wanting to waste any more words.
Everyone is responsible for his own destiny. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. If you choose one, you have to give up the other. There is no such thing as perfection in the world.
Huo Lingchuan was stunned for a long time, then he sighed and said, "I'll think about it carefully and wait until the banquet is over."
There was a hint of disappointment in Huo Qinghuang's eyes, but he didn't say anything more.
Huo Lingyu looked at this, then looked at that, and suddenly said: "Why don't you teach me, little sister? Old Five doesn't cherish the opportunity to practice martial arts, but I do!"
Hearing this, Huo Qinghuang raised her eyebrows, looked at him for a moment, then stretched out a hand and grasped Huo Lingyu's wrist.
Due to years of exercise, Huo Lingyu's arms are exceptionally strong, with well-muscled wrists, thick and strong knuckles, and distinct bones.
"Ahem, what are you doing, little sister?"
Huo Lingyu's face instantly turned red and he shook his hands, trying to break free from Huo Qinghuang's grasp.
He has never had any contact with any girls in his life.
Even if she's my sister, you can't touch him!
But the next moment he was surprised to find that Huo Qinghuang's five jade-white fingers were like iron clamps, tightly grasping his wrist and he could not break free at all.
"Don't move. Let me see what your qualifications are."
Huo Qinghuang frowned and said.
Qualifications?
When Huo Lingyu heard this, he immediately stopped moving, blinking his eyes and looking at Huo Qinghuang with anticipation.
After a while, Huo Qinghuang withdrew his hand, frowned and said nothing.
"What's wrong? Is it because of poor qualifications?"
Huo Lingyu's heart skipped a beat and he asked quickly.
"It's more than just bad. Have you been injured and haven't recovered yet?"
Huo Qinghuang looked him over and his eyes fell on Huo Lingyu's chest.
There was a knife wound there. If it was a little bit off, it would have injured the heart and lungs, which would have been fatal.
"Uh, how did you know? Don't tell mom, or she'll worry."
Huo Lingyu looked at her in surprise.
He didn't tell anyone in his family about his injury for fear that they would worry.
If it weren't for the injury, he would have asked for leave and returned long ago. Why would he wait until his wound healed before coming back?
As a result, he was exposed by Huo Qinghuang just after they met.
"Old Four is injured? Why didn't you tell us?"
After hearing this, Huo Lingjun and others stood up from the sofa and surrounded him and asked.
"What's wrong with you, Old Four? Why didn't you tell us that you were injured? If Qing Huang hadn't let it slip today, how long would you have kept it a secret from us?"
Huo Lingze also frowned and scolded.
"Please forgive me, you big mouths. Telling you is the same as telling Ms. Zhang. I don't want to be bombarded with it every day."
Huo Lingyu said with a bitter face.
"How dare you talk like that, little brat?"
Huo Lingjun slapped him on the head and snorted through gritted teeth.
Huo Lingyu covered his head and stood there pitifully, not daring to fight back.
He has a deep respect for his elder brother who has been trained as the heir of the Huo family since childhood.
Not only him, but all the brothers of the Huo family are like this.
Even though they usually fight and play around and no one is willing to give in, once a real fight breaks out, no one dares to act rashly.
Huo Lingchuan was like a madman. He pounced on Huo Lingyu and stripped him of his clothes, insisting on looking at his wounds.
Of course Huo Lingyu didn't let him see it. He held on to his clothes and refused to let go. The two of them struggled for a while.
Looking at the Huo brothers who were playing around, Huo Qinghuang felt a strange emotion in his heart.
Is this home, with caring parents and close brothers and sisters?
It doesn’t feel bad.
"Okay, stop making trouble. I have something else to do. I'll go upstairs first and wait for my second brother to come back. I'll ask him to give my fourth brother a pill."
She looked at it for a long time, and finally spoke up to stop him.
After saying that, he left his back to everyone and went upstairs.
"Pills? Where did you get the pills, brother?"
Huo Lingyu was confused and suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Fourth Brother, you probably don't know this, but my little sister not only knows Kung Fu, but she also taught Second Brother how to make pills. In short, it's very mysterious, and you'll know it later."
Huo Lingjun explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Huo Lingze and Huo Lingyu looked at each other, both feeling a little bit unbelievable.
"Come on, big brother, tell us in detail, and let us know how mysterious my little sister is."
Huo Lingze put his arms around Huo Lingjun's shoulders and pressed him onto the sofa.
"Yes, big brother, I didn't know that I could make pills. Come on, share it with us."
Huo Lingchuan and Huo Lingyu also came over, and they huddled together, looking at Huo Lingjun curiously and asked.
"Well, just listen to me and I'll tell you slowly..."
Huo Lingjun cleared his throat and began to tell the story.
On the second floor, Huo Qinghuang returned to her room, took out the painting of the ladies, and began to summon Yu Niang.
She wanted to find out what happened to the Qiu family and why Huo Lingyu was assassinated without Yu Niang's advance warning.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from the Lady Picture, and Yu Niang did not come back either.
Huo Qinghuang pursed her lips and her face suddenly darkened.
The soul imprint of Yu Niang in the Ladies' Painting is still there. If she hadn't encountered something, she would never have refused to return.
"Humph! If you dare to touch my people, I'd like to see if you are a human or a ghost!"
Huo Qinghuang sneered, lowered her eyes slightly, and quickly twisted her five fingers to calculate Yu Niang's whereabouts.
Ever since she learned how to tell fortunes, she seldom used her spiritual awareness, in order to avoid disturbing her soul, which would be detrimental to its recovery.
After a while, she stopped moving, her eyes suddenly opened, revealing a cold light.
"Humph, you've learned your lesson this time. You didn't go to the Qiu family. Whatever. It's rude not to return the favor. Before the banquet, I'll send you some appetizers to try, so you don't say that the Huo family didn't entertain you well enough!"
Huo Qinghuang's tone was grim and murderous intent rose in his heart.
…
In a village in the suburbs of the imperial capital, although it was already ten o'clock in the evening, the place was still bustling with people.
At the night market, all kinds of barbecue snack stalls fill the entire street, and it is crowded with people.
"Hey bro, take a look at this roast duck. It's freshly made. It's authentic imperial roast duck. I guarantee you'll be addicted after just one bite!"
A hawker was working hard to sell roast duck, his pair of cunning eyes flickering over the pedestrians passing by the roast duck stall.
Suddenly, he stopped and stared at a passerby.
The man was about forty years old, wearing a baseball cap, walking with his head down, and wrapped in a windbreaker that completely concealed his figure.
He is wrapped so tightly in this hot weather, there must be something wrong with him!
I heard that a lot of strange things have happened nearby recently, and several children have gone missing. Could this person have done it?
The peddler's eyes lit up, and the desire to make a contribution immediately took over.
