A few days ago, Han Xingjian approached Hua Fushu to inquire about the whereabouts of his parents. Hua Fushu asked him to be an insider and monitor Bai Yanlang's every move, and let him see his parents after the task was accomplished.
He did not agree to Hua Fushu, so Hua Fushu left triumphantly.
Hua Fushu uttered an "oh" and, recalling this, said calmly, "What do you think, Master Han?"
Han Xingjian said, "I agree to this, but only if I can meet my parents."
"Impossible." Hua Fushu refused sternly. If Han Xingjian knew the whereabouts of Han Tuizhi's family and took them away, then everything she did would be in vain.
Han Xingjian's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he drew his Qingming Sword, pointing it at Hua Fushu, and threatened, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Hua Fushu met Han Xingjian's frighteningly cold gaze, her lips curled slightly as she murmured, "If you dare to kill me, I guarantee your parents and brothers won't see tomorrow's sunset. If you don't believe me, just try it!"
Han Xingjian moved, and the Qingming Sword was unsheathed another inch.
He listened to Hua Fushu's threats. He had never been controlled by anyone, but he was controlled by Hua Fushu again and again. He felt really aggrieved. For the safety of his parents and brothers, he had no choice but to take back the Qingming Sword.
Hua Fushu took a look at the Qingming Sword. The Qingming Sword and the Zhemei Sword were both swords held by his master's ancestors. They were also among the top ten famous swords in the martial arts world. His master passed the Zhemei Sword to his senior brother Qin Youran, and the Qingming Sword was taken away by Bai Yanlang in the Xue'ao Villa tragedy twenty years ago.
If the Qingming Sword had not been taken away, it should have been passed on to her according to her status.
She is the authentic direct disciple of Xue'ao Villa, and she is the most reasonable heir to the Qingming Sword.
Hua Fushu suppressed her reluctant gaze and said, "Han Xingjian, straighten your attitude. You are not qualified to negotiate with me! If you want to see your parents, then do your thing."
Han Xingjian glanced at Hua Fushu coldly, turned around and was about to leave, then turned back and said, "You and I are just cooperating. You'd better not have any thoughts about my parents and brother. If anything happens to any of them, I will hold you accountable."
Hua Fushu narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly. Was Han Xingjian threatening her again?
During the years when she was wandering around the world and developing the Mei Sect, how many people had threatened and intimidated her? When had she ever been afraid?
Only those who lack confidence will be afraid of threats.
Han Xingjian left the herbal medicine shop and blended into the night, disappearing without a trace.
The shopkeeper quickly took out ginger and mugwort, prepared the medicine according to the prescription, weighed the medicine, wrapped it in paper, and tied it with a hemp rope.
Hua Fushu watched the shopkeeper skillfully taking out and weighing the medicine while casually asking him, "Shopkeeper, common herbs like ginger, mugwort, and honeysuckle shouldn't be out of stock in pharmacies. Why are you out of stock too?"
The shopkeeper said, "Many residents on this street have had fevers and colds lately, and they've come to my shop to get medicine. I don't have many herbs in my shop to begin with, and the herbs commonly used to reduce fevers and treat colds are sold out very quickly. My father went out of town to get medicine, and he hasn't returned yet."
Hua Fushu said, "Yes, the weather changes drastically from morning to night. The line of people going to the Xinglin Clinic for treatment has stretched out onto the street, and the Xinglin Clinic is also running low on medicinal materials."
The shopkeeper asked, "Has my wife been to the Xinglin Clinic?"
"I passed by there." Hua Fushu said.
The shopkeeper continued, "I see you bought ten prescriptions. Is someone at home feeling unwell?"
Hua Fushu said, "No, my husband has been studying hard, so I prescribed a medicinal soup to dispel cold and relieve fatigue for him to use as a foot bath."
The shopkeeper said, "My dear husband, you will take the imperial examination next year, right?"
Hua Fushu nodded and smiled.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I will also take the imperial examination next year, so I'm the same year as your husband."
The shopkeeper quickly packed the herbs, Hua Fushu paid the money, and returned to the General's Mansion with Nanxing.
After Nanxing entered the mansion, Hua Fushu's driver changed from a servant in the General's Mansion to Nanxing.
Nan Xing even complained to Hua Fushu about this, saying, "Master, I went from being your bodyguard to being your coachman. How could my status drop so low?"
Hua Fushu replied to Nanxing, "What's the difference between a guard and a coachman? They are all my subordinates. You asked to be a coachman, didn't you?"
Nan Xing was helpless and said, "Yes, I asked for it. Being a coachman is better than taking care of children."
While driving, Nan Xing said to Hua Fushu, "Young Master, at your current rate, you'll be able to learn all my poison techniques by the end of next year."
Hua Fushu lifted the carriage curtain and stuck his head out. "It shouldn't take that long. I'm so talented. It's just a small poison technique. Why would I need that much time to learn it?"
Nan Xing scoffed, "I know your talent is so unique that even the Sect Master says it's unparalleled. Poison techniques aren't easy to learn. Just learning the basics isn't true mastery. Only when you master everything can you truly master it."
Hua Fushu kept silent. She had no say in the matter of poison.
Nan Xing said in a clear voice: "Young Master, once you have mastered my poison technique, I will not stay with you. The world is so big, I want to create my own world."
Hua Fushu smiled softly, "When the time comes, I will definitely not stop you."
Nanxing was addicted to being a master and a little greedy, "Master, when you have a baby, I will teach you my poison skills for self-defense."
Hua Fushu sneered. Is Nanxing trying to rush to be the first master of her future child?
She just said that she wanted to study poison techniques, and Nanxing was willing to teach her all his poison techniques without reservation. Hua Fushu certainly would not refuse such a sincere heart.
She said, "If my future child is willing, I naturally have no objection."
There was one more thing Hua Fushu didn't say, for fear of hurting Nanxing's feelings. If her future children didn't want to learn poison techniques, she wouldn't force them.
She agreed, but whether the child is willing to learn is his business and has nothing to do with her.
As soon as Hua Fushu got off the car, she saw a carriage parked in front of the general's mansion. Before she could see who was coming, a figure rushed towards her and hugged her.
"Sister-in-law, I'm scared."
Ruhuan sobbed softly, lying on Hua Fushu's body, trembling.
"Sister Ruhuan, you..."
Hua Fushu was completely stunned. Ruhuan had always disdained to call her sister-in-law, so why did she change her attitude today? Before she could say anything, she saw Ye Zelin, and there were two people beside him.
The two people beside Ye Zelin, one was middle-aged and the other was wearing armor.
Hua Fushu had seen that middle-aged man before. He was Luo Nei Shi, the eunuch beside His Majesty. The man in armor was dressed like a guard from the imperial court.
Hua Fushu glanced at Ye Zelin, then at Luo Nei Shi and the armored man. She asked, "Ye Zelin, what's going on?"
Ye Zelin said, "Take Ruhuan back to her mother's yard first. I'll be there later."
Hua Fushu didn't understand what was going on, but seeing the solemn expressions on Eunuch Luo, the armored man, and Ye Zelin's faces, he said, "Okay, I'll take Ruhuan in first."
Hua Fushu gently patted Ruhuan's back and soothed her softly, "Huan'er, don't be afraid, your brother and sister-in-law are here. Will your sister-in-law go with you to see mother?"
Ruhuan nodded before letting go of Hua Fushu.
