Chapter 277: Master Huo's Advice
Song Xiao's expression was tense.
Seeing that he was silent, Song Tingchen fixed his gaze on him and asked again, "Are you willing to be consumed by resentment just for the sake of someone who gave up on you?"
"Xiaoxiao, you are a smart child. You know what to choose."
Song Xiao was silent for a long time.
He wanted to practice the mystical arts and become an outstanding mystical master.
But he couldn't help but resent Su Tan, hating her for being selfish and heartless and not caring about him.
If he thought about it carefully, the resentment in his heart would become stronger and stronger. How could he make himself feel at peace?
Even when the name Su Tan was mentioned and he thought of what she had done, he would become uncontrollably angry.
"Dad, I can only try."
Song Xiao answered this way, but couldn't help thinking that if Su Tan turned over a new leaf and treated him well again, he wouldn't have been eroded by his anger.
if……
If only there was a spell in this world that could change people's minds.
Song Tingchen looked at Song Xiao with his eyes slightly lowered.
About half an hour later, he went out and met Master Huo in the private room of the restaurant.
He placed a gold ingot in front of the other person, his face expressionless, and even his tone sounded a bit cold and hard. "Thank you so much for today."
Master Huo finished eating a roast chicken and drank a glass of aged girl's red wine. In the midst of his busy work, he reached out and gave Song Tingchen a thumbs up.
“Not bad, not bad!”
"General Song is such an open-minded person!"
I earned two gold bars today!
Seeing that his mouth was full of oil and even his clothes were stained with oil, Song Tingchen frowned and looked away.
"You'd better keep today's events to yourself and don't let anyone know."
He placed two more gold ingots in front of Master Huo.
His tone was cold and indifferent, as if covered with a thin layer of ice. "For the next year, you are not allowed to set foot in the capital."
This guy is a liar.
If he continues to hang around in the capital, Xiaoxiao might meet him one day.
By then the lie will be exposed and Xiaoxiao will only be more embarrassed.
Master Huo was smiling and didn't care about trivial matters. He just drank the jar of aged girl's red wine.
After finishing the drink, he smacked his lips reluctantly and regretfully put down the empty jar from which not a single drop of wine could be poured.
He glanced at the gold on the table and said, "General Song, the capital is at the feet of the emperor. It is where I was born and raised."
"It's a bit difficult to ask me not to appear in the capital for a year!"
Song Tingchen didn't say much.
He just put two more gold bars in there and asked, "Is that enough?"
Master Huo said nothing, but continued to turn the Buddhist beads in his hand, which actually added a greasy color to the beads.
Song Tingchen then placed two more gold bars in front of him.
Now, Master Huo had a smile on his face, and flies with wrinkles on their face would get lost if they landed on it.
"Don't push your luck. People are never satisfied."
Hearing the hint of threat in his tone, Master Huo casually took another bite of the chicken.
"I see. You noble children are really overbearing when it comes to you."
"Since General Song is quite generous, you can just not come back."
Song Tingchen's expression eased slightly.
In a year, he will slowly straighten out Xiaoxiao's personality, and Xiaoxiao will also understand that those who left me yesterday cannot be kept.
Master Huo looked at Song Tingchen nonchalantly, pretending to count on his fingers, "Meeting is destiny. General Song and I have a deep connection. Why don't I take advantage of today's opportunity to tell General Song's fortune?"
"This meal is enough to cover the cost of the divination."
Master Huo was grinning, taking another bite of the braised pork while he spoke. He ate until his stomach was full. He burped loudly and squinted at Song Tingchen, "General Song, I see from your face that you are stubborn and paranoid. Not good~ Not good~"
"Hiccup~"
Master Huo burped again, and the thick smell of alcohol floated out with the burp. Song Tingchen frowned suddenly.
Master Huo seemed to be blind, and his smiling eyes were still only two slits.
"This person can't always stick to the old ways, or something bad will happen."
"General Song, from today on, you must cultivate your character and understand that life is a matter of gathering and separation. Only then can you achieve long-term stability. Otherwise, your family will be broken, and you will die and your heart will be broken. Outsiders will only say that you have tied yourself up in a cocoon and that you have brought this upon yourself."
After he finished speaking, his attitude was still casual.
Song Tingchen didn't take it seriously. Instead, he gave him a cold look, his voice as chilly as frost on a branch. "Master Huo, you'd better take care of yourself. In the future, try to do some legitimate business. Otherwise, if someone comes to your door one day, you'll be in trouble."
Master Huo smiled as he drank wine and tea. His previous sage-like appearance was completely gone, and he behaved like a commoner.
"Life is only 30,000 days long. If I don't seek freedom and happiness, it will make me feel worse than killing myself!"
Master Huo said this while baring his teeth, as if thinking of his own state of being bound by shackles.
Song Tingchen smiled again upon hearing this, with a hint of sarcasm between his brows, "Master Huo only seeks to be free and unrestrained, but he advises me to cultivate my character."
Master Huo ate his meat even more happily after hearing his sarcasm.
"People can only help others, but not themselves~"
"Otherwise, how can we say that we are the ones who bring disaster upon ourselves?"
"Alas! It's so hard to be free! I just want to be free all my life!"
"General Song, this braised pork and old duck soup is really good, would you like to try it?"
He was crazy, his words were incoherent, and he spoke incoherently and incomprehensibly.
This made the disgust on Song Tingchen's face even deeper.
He flicked his sleeves and glanced coldly at Master Huo. This man drank alcohol and ate meat, yet he had the nerve to call himself a master and even dressed like a monk.
It's absolutely crazy!
After saying that, he left.
Master Huo was still eating the meat in big mouthfuls. He picked up the wine jar that no longer had a drop of wine in it with some reluctance, then put it down with great sorrow. He couldn't help licking the rim of the jar, and the aroma of wine filled his tongue.
Unfortunately, no matter how fragrant the wine was, he couldn't taste a drop of it.
"well!"
Master Huo sighed heavily, smacked his lips, and looked at the wine bottle with extremely complicated eyes.
"well!"
"Why don't you listen to my advice?"
"This person never listens to advice!"
"I've told you drinking is bad for your health, but you didn't listen and insisted on drinking!"
"My stomach will be burning with pain again!"
"You brought this upon yourself!"
"It's all your own fault!"
…
This little episode in the Song family came to an end.
Su Tan still practices every day without fail.
In order to prepare to find Xiao Changle's remaining soul as soon as possible.
Little Nightmare Ghost has been busy lately. The last time he helped her collect herbs, he left in a hurry. It has been a long time since we last saw him.
I don’t know when I will see the little nightmare ghost again.
But Su Tan was unwilling to pin all his hopes on the little nightmare ghost.
After all, the little nightmare ghost also has his own things to do.
She just wants to be more powerful.
Be more powerful.
He was so powerful that he could find Changle's remaining soul at a glance.
She often practiced alone in the suburbs, on the other side of the moat.
Most of the time, he didn't return home until midnight.
That night, Su Tan put away his sword and walked home as usual.
But when he turned the corner, he suddenly bumped into a little girl.
The little girl was pretty and delicate, but a little thin.
Seeing that she had bumped into someone, the little girl raised her face, tears still welling up in her eyes, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm...I'm sorry."
"Sister, I didn't mean to..."
Su Tan was about to say it was okay, but when he looked at the other person's face, his brows twitched instantly.
Go further and you will reach the moat.
And judging from the girl's face, there is a high probability that something will happen tonight.
There are no water ghosts on this side of the moat now.
But the road was dark at night, and the little girl only relied on the moonlight to move forward, without even a lamp. If she walked any further, she might accidentally fall...
Su Tan frowned and immediately stopped the little girl who was about to continue walking forward, "Little sister, where are you going?"
