Old Master Huo stared intently at Old Master Xie, a calculating glint in his cloudy eyes.
Originally, he did not agree with Huo Yuntang's plan.
Supporting Xie Ziyuan to rise to power is acceptable. Xie Ziyuan is capable enough to make a name for herself in the ancient medical circles of the capital, which will greatly benefit the Huo family.
Xie Ziyuan's background was flawed; she was not of Xie family blood, so the Xie family could not fully trust her. Therefore, when she rose to power, she handed over the Xie family to the Huo family.
What can Xie Li bring to the Huo family? Although I've heard she's very intelligent, can she contribute the Xie family without any burden or resentment?
Obviously not.
Her surname is Xie, and she has a strong sense of family. She only knows how to stay in her small place and live a peaceful life.
Completely unaware of the situation and status of the Huo and Xie families, they would never be able to enter the top elite circles of the capital. Only by combining the strength of the two families could they break into the capital and enter the circle of ancient martial arts practitioners.
Xie Li was never his first choice, but he couldn't resist his grandson's genuine affection and went to great lengths to propose.
Furthermore, Huo Yuntang said that Xie Li might be skilled in medicine and could also obtain the Sacred Heart Fruit.
If that's the case, then Xie Li's value needs to be reassessed.
After seeing Grandpa Xie today, he completely believed Huo Yuntang's words.
Grandpa Xie has recovered so well; he's radiating vitality, which is quite unusual.
No one in the Xie family had the ability to not only pull Old Master Xie back from the brink of death, but also to make him young again.
When Old Master Huo thought of the doubts Huo Yuntang had raised, his heart burned with excitement—this was clearly the effect of the Sacred Heart Fruit in tempering the bones and muscles!
If he could have a stable supply of Sacred Heart Fruit like Grandpa Xie, could he also break free from this old and sickly body and become young, healthy, and strong again?
Old Master Huo had been ill for a long time, and his ambitions remained unfulfilled. He could only stay in his old house to recuperate and could not go out. He could only watch his life wither away day by day. This feeling was really too painful.
He desperately wanted to regain his youth and health.
Xie Li was his lifeline, and he couldn't let the Xie family break off the engagement just like that.
“Buyun, actually, this matter should be considered from Xie Li’s perspective, shouldn’t it? This child has had a hard life before, and now that she has finally returned to the Xie family, we should make it up to her.”
Old Master Huo then set his sights on Xie Li. He refused to believe that Xie Li, a village girl from a small town, could resist being tempted by such an outstanding grandson.
If the girl knew she had such a rich, handsome, and affectionate fiancé, she would probably be so happy she'd faint!
"Her fate with Yun Tang was also profound. They were betrothed when Xie Li was still an infant, and they actually met again on Tiandu Mountain when they grew up. And Xie Li even saved Yun Tang!"
“If I had known that saving him would bring so much trouble, I shouldn’t have saved him in the first place.” A clear and decisive voice interrupted Old Master Huo’s performance.
Xie Zian exclaimed joyfully, "Sister!"
Huo Yuntang also stood up: "Lili." His tone was gentle and tender, with a lingering affection.
Xie Li was utterly disgusted. What was wrong with this guy? Did she even know him?
“I’ve saved countless people in the Tiandushan Forest Firefighting Team. To be honest, you are the one who should never have been saved and the most ungrateful.”
Xie Li walked straight over and sat down next to Xie Sidu.
She raised her eyes and calmly looked directly at Huo Yuntang and Old Master Huo.
"You were asking for trouble by venturing into the primeval forest, and then you started a fire that caused a wildfire. If you had actually burned to death, you would have deserved it."
