Xie Lingyun did not doubt the truthfulness of the other party's words. After all, she had just witnessed the reaction of the Xie clan's ancient lamp with her own eyes.
She suspected...
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the doctor employed by the Huo family, that is, a servant of the Huo family. Huo Jinyu is the previous head of the Huo family and the eldest sister of the current head of the family. Her granddaughter is the young lady of your Huo family."
Xie Lingyun stared at the other person and asked, "You sneaked over here in the middle of the night just to tell us about your little lady. Does the Huo family know that you did this? Why did you do this?"
Servant...
Another servant...
Why did everyone suddenly have to tell her over and over again that she was a servant of the Huo family?!
Wei Jingyao unconsciously tightened her fingers, gritting her teeth to suppress the anger and unwillingness in her heart. She said calmly, "As Miss Lingyun said, I am a servant of the Huo family, so naturally I am wholeheartedly working for the Huo family."
"It's true that Miss Xie is the young lady of the Huo family, but compared to a young lady who has been kept outside, the master as the head of the family is obviously more important."
"I know you are not ordinary people. As long as you want, even the Huo family can't be your opponent. In order to protect the head of the family, I have no other choice."
To gain their trust, she continued, "To be honest, I was an orphan. Fortunately, my master and the patriarch took pity on me and brought me back to the Huo family. They raised me and taught me skills. To me, the patriarch is not a relative, but he is better than family. I cannot bear to watch him lose his life for others."
"Besides..." She looked up at Xie Lingyun and the other two and smiled. "Although she is the young lady of the Huo family, she is also the young lady of your Xie family, isn't she? You just want to take her home, why are you stopping us?"
Xie Lingyun had been watching her, so even though the unwilling ambition in her eyes only flashed by for a moment, she did not miss it.
I immediately understood.
This girl wanted to use them to get rid of Miss Xie and replace her...
After knowing the other party's purpose, Xie Lingyun felt relieved.
For her, as long as the goal is achieved, nothing else matters.
He waved his hand casually and said, "I understand. You can go back first."
Wei Jingyao opened her mouth, wanting to remind him a few more times, but seeing that he was already showing his impatience towards the other party, she felt a sudden fear in her heart and dared not speak.
He bowed slightly and left.
The timing was just right, and there was another half minute when the two rows of guards were staggered. Wei Jingyao quickly returned to her room in the main castle.
From beginning to end, except for a few familiar guards, no one noticed that she had left and come back.
She covered her heart, which was beating like a drum, and waited nervously.
Xie Lingyun and the others arrived much later than she expected. It was not until dawn that the three of them appeared in the main castle with their guards.
They were received by Huo Zhaodong, who had just returned from outside.
Huo Zhaodong went to look for life-saving elixirs in person two days ago. He only rushed back last night after receiving the news that the old master of the Huo family was out of danger. He happened to meet the three members of the Xie family who came to visit again.
Even though he knew that the other party was very powerful and it would be easy to kill him, Huo Zhaodong's face still looked unhappy.
He said with a cold expression, "My father has made it very clear. My aunt hasn't returned to the Huo family for over forty years, let alone sent any children home. The person you are looking for is not here. Please go back!"
Xie Hengyuan didn't expect that even at this point, the other party was still holding on. He almost laughed out of anger: "Mr. Huo, do you think we don't dare to really take action against the Huo family or that we are not strong enough to do anything to you? If you know what's good for you, hand them over quickly and let us take them back to the Xie clan to recognize their ancestors and relatives. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
Huo Zhaodong's expression darkened. "Shouldn't I be the one saying this?!"
Huo Zhaodong stared at the three men fiercely. Even though he was no match for them in strength, his aura was not at all inferior. He said sternly, "Even the head of the Huo family is injured. Do you think I will let you leave unscathed?!"
"What do you think the Huo family is? You can come and go as you please?!"
Xie Hengyuan: "You!"
Huo Zhaodong: "Someone come here!"
Immediately, the sound of orderly footsteps was heard, and black figures walked out from the darkness. In just a few breaths, they surrounded the extremely spacious hall.
Countless gun muzzles appeared, pointing directly at Xie Hengyuan and others.
Even though they were mentally prepared, Xie Hengyuan and the others couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.
Since the relationship had already been torn apart, Huo Zhaodong had no intention of being polite to the other party. He sneered and said, "In terms of strength, the Huo family may not be able to compare with your ancient martial arts Xie family, but don't forget, this is the Huo family's territory!"
Xie Hengyuan never expected that the other party was so bold and had such a bad temper. He was so angry that his heart was beating fast.
As the two sides confronted each other, the hall fell into deathly silence.
Until a light laugh was heard, Xie Lingyun looked up, her expression still calm, and said: "It is indeed wrong for us to injure the head of the Huo family, but it was your Huo family who refused to release him in the first place, so we only did this because we had no other choice."
"The Huo and Xie families are relatives, so why are we so hostile? Why don't we make a deal and resolve this peacefully?"
Huo Zhaodong said coldly, "My father is seriously injured and dying. How do you expect to resolve this peacefully?"
Xie Lingyun continued to smile: "Mr. Huo may not know that my ancient martial arts Xie family is famous for its medicine. Among them, there is a set of acupuncture techniques called Nine-Turn Three-Purity Needles, which is extremely famous and has the effect of bringing the dead back to life."
"What a coincidence! I just learned this acupuncture technique before leaving the clan. If I use this method to treat Master Huo, not only will this injury be healed, but most of his previous injuries can also be cured."
"Mr. Huo, are you willing to listen to my deal?" Although it was a question, the tone was firm.
She didn't think Huo Zhaodong would reject her.
Huo Zhaodong did hesitate.
He had just returned home less than five minutes ago, and the news he had received was only that Huo Zhenchuan had escaped danger, but nothing else was mentioned.
He knew too well how dangerous and painful it was for Huo Zhenchuan to suffer a relapse of his old injury. He didn't want to miss any chance of recovery...
It can be said that the other party's conditions completely hit his heart.
Huo Zhaodong's eyes changed rapidly. After a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I..."
promise!
The last two words were not uttered before they were interrupted by a sudden voice.
Huo Yunze appeared in the hall at some point, his face sullen. "Grandfather's injury will be treated by our Huo family. Miss Xie, please don't worry about it."
"Please go back, three of you."
