Chapter 243
The old lady obviously doesn’t know much about the Immortal Cultivation World... uh, but even those who do know might not know much about the Qian Ding Sect, haha.
But hearing that it’s an Immortal Cultivation Sect, the old lady finally felt relieved.
That’s great, not being sold to some strange place in preparation for doing something bizarre in the future...
Wait a minute, didn’t the madam poison Miss Xiaohua with that kind of poison, saying that no one could cure it at the moment, and Miss Xiaohua wouldn’t have any cultivation in the future? So why is this Immortal Cultivation Sect interested in Miss Xiaohua?
Thinking about it carefully is terrifying!
The changes in the old lady’s expression were all seen by Chen Muxue, and she hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Xiaohua was bought back by me from traffickers. There aren’t many people in Qian Ding Sect, apart from me, the others are all kids I’ve picked up or bought."
What?! What on earth is her intention? Raising so many useless kids, what is she planning for? I’ve heard some cultivators use people for alchemy...
Seeing the old lady’s face grow more terrified, Chen Muxue was a bit speechless.
"Nanny, the Sect Leader is a good person, prepares lots of delicious food for Xiaohua every day!" Xiaohua broke free from the old lady’s embrace, patted her own round belly, "Xiaohua has eaten well, and there is no more poison!"
The old lady looked Xiaohua up and down several times, seeing that she was indeed well-fed and chubby. Although she still wondered if there was an ulterior motive behind Xiaohua being raised so well, for now, it seemed Xiaohua hadn’t been harmed, making them benefactors so far.
She didn’t think deeply about what Xiaohua said about no longer having poison, because in her mind, the poison was incurable, so she didn’t even consider it.
"Thank you, Sect Leader, for saving Miss Xiaohua! Miss Xiaohua has truly suffered." The old lady said, tears flowing uncontrollably once more.
"Since you call Xiaohua ’Miss’ and you’re her nanny, it suggests Xiaohua’s family isn’t bad. How did she end up trafficked? Was she accidentally lost?" Chen Muxue couldn’t help but ask.
Upon hearing this question, the old lady’s tears, which had shown signs of stopping, surged even more.
"I have wronged the madam! No, it was that damned Aunt Shui who wronged the madam!" The old lady said through gritted teeth.
Aunt Shui? Seems like a big drama in the household! Chen Muxue’s eyes lit up.
After the old lady explained roughly what happened, Cen Lizhui caught the key information: "You mean, the Absolute Spirit Powder was given to Xiaohua by your madam herself?"
Seeing this person’s elegant demeanor, the old lady hesitated but nodded.
"And how did your madam get her hands on the Absolute Spirit Powder?" Cen Lizhui furrowed his brows tightly.
Absolute Spirit Powder is rare because it is a poison from the Demon Realm, even troublesome for the Demon Clan itself.
If it originally belongs to the Demon Realm, how did it end up in the hands of a woman in the mortal world?
"The madam is the eldest daughter of the Shui Family. Maybe it was prepared by the Shui Family just in case..." The old lady said, her eyes somewhat evasive.
After all, it involved matters concerning the Shui Family. Although she was not from the Shui Family, she was always grateful for the madam’s kindness and had sworn an oath never to betray the madam. Therefore, the madam’s family also needed her protection, and she was unsure if speaking of these matters would affect the madam’s family...
Hearing the words "Shui Family," Cen Lizhui sank into deeper thought.
Xiaohua, however, blinked her innocent big eyes and said, "Mother said Xiaohua must be good, never become powerful, or that bad man will take Xiaohua back to do bad things."
