Chapter 121 Plot Changes Lei Hong used to be gloomy and silent...
In the past, Lei Hong was gloomy, silent, and looked at the world with a cold eye. He wrapped himself in a cold shell, and no one could pry open the ice on his exterior.
His attitude towards people is always lukewarm. Even Xu Hui, who saved his life, only got a promise from him that she could ask him for help if she had any problems.
But that was not out of emotion, but just the persistence of tit-for-tat.
After all, as the male protagonist, he still has a bottom line. He can kill people for treasures, snatch resources without blinking an eye, and kill countless people for this, but he will repay favors and will definitely do what he promised.
But apart from that, he just regarded Xu Hui as someone he knew and didn't have much affection for her.
If Xu An was able to open his heart, it was only because of the right time, place and people, and it was the result of her repeated calculations.
But after her plan succeeded, she wisely gave her true heart to Lei Hong, so that he would be willing to protect her and take her with him forever.
Lei Xiao showed enough goodwill since he entered the Lei family, and what he got was obedience and submission. It did not mean recognition, but a compromise that his strength did not allow.
In the book, Lei Hong's path is even more difficult. After Lei Xiao's accident, many people suspect him because he is the only second choice for the heir.
Even if Mrs. Lei investigates thoroughly and finds no evidence of his involvement, everyone will still be more scrutinizing him for taking over the position of young master, wanting to see if he is qualified for the position.
In the early days, Lei Hong lacked many things, especially the bearing that a young master should have, even though the head of the Lei family took great pains to train him.
But in his heart, he never recognized the so-called responsibility of the young master. Like Yi Qingxue, he only regarded his position as a means to climb up.
As a result, it was even harder for him to gain recognition, and he had even fewer followers from the Lei family disciples. Coupled with his strange luck, his path was always filled with dangers, with people around him dying and living, coming and going.
And amidst all these hardships, Lei Hong fought his way out and achieved the ascension.
Kill gods if they stand in your way; kill Buddhas if they stand in your way!
He was finally respected because of his ruthlessness and strength!
In a world without Lei Xiao, he went further and further on this road. As he became more and more powerful, he gradually became a lonely man, cold, cruel, and ruthless.
But now, Lei Hong, who was standing next to Lei Xiao, had a faint smile on his face. Even though he was still silent, he would nod and say hello when others greeted him.
In the book, he is never a person who cares about etiquette, and even often offends others because of his silence and arrogance.
But now he seems like a real young master from a noble family, except that he has a silent personality.
He followed Lei Xiao patiently, nodding to each cultivator who came up to him, without any impatience.
Feeling Xu Hui's scrutiny, he turned and smiled at her, then took the initiative to speak, "Fellow Daoist Xu."
Xu Hui opened her mouth slightly, "Uh, Fellow Daoist Lei, you've changed a lot!"
Lei Hong was startled. He didn't expect her to be so straightforward. He nodded slightly and said, "I still have a lot to learn."
What this means is that he actually began to approve of Lei Xiao's actions and was willing to learn from him.
Xu Hui thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Brother Lei, you also have many advantages!" There is no need to blindly imitate Lei Xiao. After all, they are different people. Learn what you can learn, and don't force yourself to change what you really can't change.
Lei Hong was stunned, a sincere smile appeared in his eyes, and his tone became lighter, "I thought you didn't like me."
Unexpectedly, he even learned to joke. Xu Hui couldn't help but laugh, "You used to be so cold and hard to approach."
She's not a masochist, so why should she try to please the male lead? She just wants to take advantage of some opportunities.
Lei Hong glanced at Wei Mubai, who was not far away and had a cold expression on his face. His meaning was very clear: isn't he also a cold person?
Xu Hui rolled her eyes. "How can you be the same as him? He is my fiancé, a family member, not to mention..."
She turned her head and met Wei Mubai's gentle eyes. "Of course he treats me differently from others!"
Lei Hong was stunned by the matter-of-fact tone and the arrogant look. After a while, he said, "Congratulations!" He congratulated them on their mutual understanding and wished them a long-lasting marriage.
Xu Hui liked to hear this and smiled. "Since you are so good at talking, I will tell you some disappearance. It will be very useful for the pills later! Remember to save some spirit stones!"
Lei Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, "Aren't they the top-grade Qi-boosting Pill and the top-grade Rejuvenating Pill?"
Xu Hui waved her hand and said, "This is news that everyone knows. I'm talking about inside information."
"Thank you very much," Lei Hong's expression became gentler, and he nodded slightly at Wei Mubai who was looking at him. He knew that he had heard what Xu Hui said, but did not stop him.
Xu Hui waved her hand and walked to Wei Mubai's side, watching him send away several monks who came to establish connections and ask for the purchase of elixirs.
Today is the Wei family’s auction, and many cultivators have come, most of them are bigwigs from various parties.
Normally, as the second son of the Wei family, Wei Mubai, who is known to have a cold personality, would not give them much face. But today is the Wei family's home game, so he cannot put on airs as a receptionist.
It was also the first time that Xu Hui saw Wei Mubai with such superb conversation skills. He got rid of people with just a few words without offending any party or promising any conditions.
Therefore, there is indeed a gap between the education of aristocratic families and the education of ordinary people. As the second heir of the Wei family, Wei Mubai knows everything he should know. He is usually straightforward, but it is only because Wei Muheng stands in front of him that he does not need to socialize.
When he really came on stage, he was completely at ease.
Even Wei Muyan, who had clearly been living in the sea of consciousness, had only reached the late stage of foundation building in two or three years, and had also gotten to know all the young ladies from various aristocratic families.
At this time, as the young lady of the Wei family, she entertained them with courtesy and decorum, making them feel like spring breeze.
In contrast, Xu Hui herself was like an idle person. When someone wanted to come forward and curry favor with Wei Mubai through her, he noticed it in advance and sent them away.
So even though she was such a grown-up, she could still leisurely look at everyone on the field.
People from the Lei family and the Wan family arrived. Wan Moxiao followed his elders and was dragged to meet them. He looked bored but unable to leave, so he could only smile silently.
Seeing Xu Hui's leisurely look, he looked at her with envy.
Xu Hui expressed great sympathy. Compared to her, Wan Moxiao had a much heavier responsibility.
First of all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Wan family and represents the face of the Wan family. Secondly, she will marry into the Lei family in the future and become the mistress of the Lei family!
The wives of the heads of families in the world of cultivation are different from those in the secular sense. They can share power with their husbands. If they are capable enough, they can even squeeze out their husbands and take over the power alone.
Of course, you have to be loyal to your husband's family, consider the family's interests, and have the ability to lead the family in order to be recognized.
The family elders don’t care what your surname is, the one with the most ability will get the job.
This has happened before. The heir of a noble family was not satisfactory, so the family married him a strong wife to take power on his behalf.
Of course, with Lei Xiao's ability, Wan Moxiao doesn't need to do this.
But if something happens to Lei Xiao, she must have a way to stabilize the entire Lei family. If she has a child, she will take the position of power and help the child keep the position of young master and wait for him to grow up.
As long as she doesn't give up her status as Lei's wife even though she doesn't have children, she can still compete with Lei Hong for real power. It all depends on who has more clever tactics.
In the book, Lei Xiao got into trouble, the female supporting character Wan Moxiao had not yet married in, and Lei Hong was not a pushover either, so there was no chance.
After all, Wan Mo knew that in order to demonstrate his abilities, he not only had to rely on his cultivation and wine-making skills, but also on his communication and management skills.
Xu Hui is only the fiancée of the second young master of the Wei family. With the young master Wei Muheng around, Wei Mubai can be idle, let alone her.
In comparison, Wei Muyan, the legitimate daughter, is even busier.
Although the world of cultivation does not care about the separation of men and women, female cultivators have their own small circle. Wei Muyan wants to represent the Wei family, break into this circle, and keep abreast of the movements of female cultivators from various families.
The obligations she bears are only slightly smaller than Wei Muheng's. After all, she has an older brother to take charge of the situation!
In this way, Wei Mubai becomes the luckiest one. With people to support him on both sides, he only needs to concentrate on refining the elixir.
Wei Mubai saw through her thoughts at a glance and couldn't help but rub her head, "I am an alchemist."
As long as he had a talent for alchemy, the Wei family would not bother him with those trivial matters.
Even if he really became the young master of the Wei family, the Wei family would arrange people to assist him so that he could focus all his attention on refining pills.
In the Wei family, as long as his alchemy skills are high enough, he can gain the trust of everyone.
"Okay," the principle is the same. A capable and strong person has a certain degree of freedom wherever he goes.
Xu Hui didn't dwell on this. She looked around and found that most of the people she knew were there, except for the Mu family. "Strange, isn't Young Master Mu coming today?"
"No," Wei Mubai shook his head, "Brother went to the Mu family's auction a few days ago."
Even for the sake of reciprocity, Mu Yuan had to attend, otherwise he would be openly offending the Wei family.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yuan came in with a group of people, followed by the girl who looked like a sharp sword that day.
At this time, she changed her neat and simple dress and dressed extremely beautifully, with exquisite and gorgeous robes and powerful and beautiful accessories. These did not conceal her temperament at all, but instead highlighted her cold and elegant beauty.
The more gorgeous and cool she is, that is the feeling she gives people now.
Moreover, Xu Hui was surprised to find that the jade pendant worn around the girl's waist was the jade pendant representing the young master of the Mu family!
She couldn't help but pull Wei Mubai, "Does the jade pendant have any special meaning? Like Young Master Mu's fiancée or something like that?"
Wei Mubai took a look and saw that Wei Muheng had already gone over to entertain her, so he did not step forward and explained, "That doesn't mean anything. It just means that she is a recognized member of the Mu family and is close to Mu Yuan. She is treated the same as the direct descendants of the Mu family."
Xu Hui couldn't help but be shocked. In the book, Mu Yuan had always been a calm and strong man, rarely getting close to female cultivators. She originally thought that she was a member of the Mu family, but now it seemed that she was not of the Mu family bloodline.
Yet, she was able to gain Mu Yuan's trust and closeness in such a short period of time, and even gain the approval of the Mu family elders. Isn't this too amazing? Even the heroine and the supporting actress couldn't do it!
The reason why Xu Hui was treated favorably by the Wei family was because of the marriage contract. However, this girl not only had no marriage, but was also not bound by any constraints. She simply became a member of the Mu family.
Looking at Zhong Xinyue and Zhong Lingyue again, they both had very bad expressions. The way they looked at the girl was full of scrutiny and... a subtle malice.
That’s right. How could those two people not be angry when someone else got what they had always dreamed of?
Xu Hui couldn't help but ask, "Who is she?"
It's really amazing. Even under the siege of the two heroines, he can still stand beside Mu Yuan so calmly. He is a god!
