Chapter 697: I Don't Like It
The man in white laughed upon hearing this: "With the glorious and sacred name of the Holy Church, you would not stoop to such a dubious act."
Yu Muhan nodded and said, "In that case, the Holy Order doesn't need to send gifts again and again. Although those gifts were carefully prepared for me, I don't need them right now."
The girl spoke frankly and generously. The man in white smiled slightly, said nothing, but took a step forward and gently placed his hand on Yu Muhan's shoulder.
After a long pause, Yu Muhan heard him say softly, "Just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't need it in the future... Miss Yu, this is what you deserve."
After speaking, the man in white robes walked out of the hall.
Yu Muhan gripped the box tightly in her hand, her eyes vacant.
What did he mean by that?
After leaving the Yu family residence, the man in white robes boarded the Holy Sect's carriage and bowed to the High Envoy sitting inside, saying, "High Envoy, Yu Muhan's mother has been poisoned, so the plan can be moved up."
The Great God tapped lightly on the windowsill with his fingers. After a while, a confident smile appeared on his face: "A year may seem like a long time, but it can also be very short."
By doing a few small, insignificant things behind the scenes, the process can be sped up.
The great angel stroked the scepter in his hand: "Let's go, back to the Holy Church."

In the following days, Yu Muhan was worried about his mother and stayed at the mansion to take care of her.
Under Yu Muhan's meticulous care, Yu's mother's pale face finally regained some color, and she looked much more energetic.
"Mother is alright now, Mu Han, you should go back to the academy." Mother Yu patted her daughter's head. "Cultivation must be very hard, right? Don't delay."
Yu Muhan bit her lip: "No matter how important cultivation is, it's not as important as you, Mother!"
Knowing that her daughter was reluctant to part with her, Yu's mother smiled with relief: "I will be content to see you achieve something and revitalize the Yu family in this lifetime."
"mother……"
"Alright, alright, let's hurry back to the academy."
Yu's mother urged him, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Mu Han, where did you put the gifts that the Holy Order envoy brought a few days ago?"
Yu Muhan replied, "I'll put it in the storage room for now."
"Why did you put such a precious gift in the storeroom?" Mother Yu said irritably, poking the girl's forehead with her finger. "Bring it here, and I'll put it with the others."
Yu Muhan recalled her conversation with the Holy Order envoy yesterday, and felt a strange sense of resistance towards the gifts. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "Mother, why don't you find some time to pawn these gifts?"
Yu's mother asked, puzzled, "Why did you become one?"
"I..." Yu Muhan didn't know how to answer for a moment, "I don't like it."
"Keep it for now; after all, it's a gift carefully prepared by the Holy Church," Yu's mother said, rejecting her daughter's suggestion.
Yu Muhan: "..."
In fact, she knew very well that her mother, having endured so much poverty, would not be willing to pawn those gifts.
Perhaps, Mother might even consider using these gifts as her future dowry...
Urged repeatedly by his mother, Yu Muhan set off to return to Lingfeng Academy.
Mother Yu carefully placed the black silk nanmu box containing the pills into the cabinet. The Holy Order had sent many gifts to the Yu family, and the cabinet was almost full.
The moment the cabinet was locked, Yu's mother's face turned pale. She coughed violently, covered her mouth with her hand, and blood seeped from between her fingers.
