Luo Ling covered his mouth with his folding fan and chuckled. Even if his friend hadn't fallen for her yet, he wasn't far off.
She winked at Ouyang Hanshuang, who was looking over, and received a glare in return.
With that amusing smile, this beauty Han Shuang's personality is like that of a kitten.
When it's happy, it'll stretch out its belly and let you scratch it; when it's unhappy, it'll give you a swipe with its claws.
But isn't he incredibly cute? He felt ashamed of himself for being so adorable.
Ouyang Hanshuang was speechless at Luo Ling's smile, which resembled that of a peacock, and gave her another disdainful look.
Xunmi and Gongzi Su, who were separated by the river, were quickly discovered. Without thinking much about it, they met the Liu family couple at the same table.
Mrs. Liu, Fu Xinzhi, felt a mix of emotions, including some happiness. It made her feel a little better knowing that her daughter had someone to take care of her.
But what's complicated is that she knows the other person is a notorious cultivation fanatic who is uninterested in anything else.
Now that she sees the two of them looking at each other, she doesn't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Liu Huiran was somewhat surprised, but then delighted.
If the Liu family could form a marriage alliance with the young master Su family, it would be a meteoric rise for the Liu family.
Considering that his daughter's cultivation had improved and that she was still involved with Young Master Su, he reluctantly decided to acknowledge her back.
She'll get married sooner or later anyway, so the position of heir should still go to Xiao Xin.
Xiao Xin works so hard, he definitely won't be disappointed.
They arrogantly imagined how highly regarded the Liu family would be in the future, but never considered whether the person involved was willing to accept it.
A 'dong...' sound of a gong rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
Xunmi and Gongzi Su also turned their attention to the stage set up in the middle, where the sect leader of Guiyuan Sect was already present.
After a few simple pleasantries, the Guiyuan Sect Master began explaining the rules.
"Our prizes this time are a fragment of a ninth-grade elixir and a high-level Heaven-rank martial arts technique."
Upon hearing this, gasps and exclamations immediately filled the room.
A fragment of a ninth-grade elixir scroll is already a top-tier secret treasure, and it also contains a high-level Heaven-rank martial skill.
Everyone was quite surprised that the competition had such generous rewards.
But most people were eager to try it out; who wouldn't want something so good?
Not to mention that there are only a handful of known high-level Heaven-rank martial arts techniques, even if it's just a fragment of a level nine pill scroll that you don't need, you can trade it with someone who wants it.
Xunmi was also attracted by the reward, so she naturally couldn't practice martial arts.
But that doesn't mean her disciple can't. She's seen the high-level Heaven-rank martial arts technique and is itching to take it back.
As for that incomplete scroll of a level nine elixir, she had absolutely no interest in it.
Not to mention that her space contains countless potion recipes from the previous world, she also has a lot of finished pills.
It's just that most of these things don't exist in this world, and she didn't easily take them out.
Just like the Marrow Cleansing Pill I gave my great-grandfather before, it's a ninth-grade pill in this world.
These are very common things in the cultivation world and the Western Xuan world. Of course, these are things that the baby explained to her.
"Han Shuang, that martial arts skill is quite good. Try your best to win."
"Even if you lose, it doesn't matter, I will win it for you."
Xunmi turned her head and whispered instructions to Hanshuang, afraid that the little girl would risk her life to snatch it.
Han Shuang suppressed her almost drooling expression and nodded solemnly: "Master, don't worry, I won't act blindly."
She understands the principle that too much of a good thing is bad, and she also understands the importance of moderation.
Xunmi was relieved; she was just afraid that Hanshuang would really be led astray by her.
To maintain her public image, she would often retaliate with a flute when provoked.
She was almost killed, though ┑(￣Д￣)┍ Over time, Han Shuang seemed to have become a bit violent as well.
Liu Huiran was displeased and snorted coldly, "How arrogant!"
In truth, he was more indignant that his search wasn't for the Liu family to seize a high-level Heavenly Rank martial skill.
He didn't even glance at Liu Huiran, completely ignoring him.
However, Fu Xinzhi, who was standing to the side, punched Liu Huiran in the stomach, which immediately made Liu Huiran's face contort.
"Madam, what are you doing?" A surge of anger also erupted.
"I'm not doing anything, just trying to wake you up from your daydreams."
Fu Xinzhi's face showed undisguised contempt; don't think she didn't know what that old bastard Liu Huiran was thinking.
After decades of marriage, she had long since figured out what kind of person he was.
Seeking to turn away, unwilling to witness Liu Huiran's disgraceful behavior.
But she had to admit that she felt very relieved; this Madam Liu was quite fierce.
This also made her understand why the original owner had that kind of personality; it must have been inherited from Madam Liu.
He may look frail, but when he gets going, he's ruthless.
"You...you better behave yourself, don't you even know where you are?"
After finally managing to stop the pain, Liu Huiran began to berate Fu Xinzhi.
Fu Xinzhi looked at him coldly, "I don't know how I was blind back then to have fallen for someone like you."
She has no more scruples now, as her only daughter has been expelled from the Liu family by Liu Huiran.
When they saw her, they treated her like a stranger. People say that mothers and daughters are connected by heart, but she didn't even have the right to show concern for her.
How could she not hate, how could she calm the anger in her heart?
Especially when she learned that her daughter's cultivation had been crippled, her meridians severed, and she had been pushed into the Eye of Death.
I almost went and fought that old bastard Liu Huiran, but I was thinking about how to find evidence.
She will absolutely not stay in the Liu family.
"You... Fu Xinzhi, we'll settle the score when we get back." Liu Huiran was furious, but he didn't want anyone to know because of his pride.
Xunmi, holding a teacup, watched this scene with great interest.
It seems that Madam Liu harbors a great deal of resentment towards the head of the Liu family; the murderous intent revealed in her eyes is genuine.
Why is this happening? I remember the two of them having a very good relationship.
Could it be for his own sake? Pshaw... How could that be? You're overthinking it.
If it was really for Liu Xunmi, then where was she when she was framed and suffered so much back then?
She withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and concealed the coldness in her eyes.
Some things, once missed, are missed forever; some people, once overlooked, can never be regained.
Just like the original owner who has already died!
"Master, I drew the first one." Ouyang Hanshuang returned with a bitter face, holding the number plate.
She was filled with resentment, thinking that even if her luck was bad, she should at least be in the middle.
The result was that it was the first one, damn it, this is a battle of attrition.
She felt it was risky to make it to the end, and she was heartbroken.
Xunmi raised an eyebrow and gave a carefree smile: "The first one? Let's just take them all at once."
"The competition doesn't say that you can't use formations and medicine, so you can use whatever you want."
Tianxuan noticed the fleeting dark expression on his face.
A bad possibility also occurred to her, and she tightened her grip on the cup.
"Yes, Master is so smart. I'll go prepare now."
Ouyang Hanshuang's eyes lit up, and she skipped and hopped off the stage to wait.
