Chapter 267
"His father? That’s not true! His father is the second lord, and Huo Lian’s father is indeed his brother from the same parents, but there’s quite a difference between them. Just look at their differences between him and Huo Lian, and you can tell, right?"
Huo Ting’s face was full of disdain as she glanced back at Changgui again: "Why do you call Huo Lian brother ’uncle’? You’re only a few years younger than me, right?"
Changgui scratched his head, he didn’t know either, Xiaohua called Huo Lian ’uncle,’ so he followed suit. How to explain this?
However, Huo Ting apparently wasn’t dwelling much on one title; the two of them walked one behind the other along the blue stone path back to the Immortal Cultivation Academy.
"His father is just a good-for-nothing, but compared to the third lord of the Chu Family, he’s a lot better, at least he fears his wife." Huo Ting said, eyes slightly dim, "But the second lord is most renowned for being protective and biased, clearly without any skill, with two ordinary children, yet stubbornly protective, causing quite a few jokes."
She still held those Fasting Pills in her hand. Changgui refused once, so someone like her certainly wouldn’t push them hard again. It was too wasteful to throw away. Perhaps in Huo Huan’s eyes, these were useless broken Elixirs that hindered her enjoyment of food, but in Huo Ting’s eyes, they were the precious Elixirs she couldn’t get how hard she tried.
It’s a pity that back when she suffered through fasting, she didn’t have the opportunity to get Fasting Pills, but she relied on her willpower and got through fasting anyway.
She even overcame the childhood fear and habit of not having enough to eat.
Changgui furrowed his brow: "So, you must be in more trouble this way?"
Huo Ting paused her steps but showed no expression on her face: "Just like that, I’m used to it."
Isn’t it just some scolding and meaningless punishments? She’s long been accustomed to it. As a child being falsely accused and misunderstood, she would still feel hurt. Now, she doesn’t feel much at all.
Apart from these clothes, jewelry, and other daily necessities given as the standard portions of the most ordinary things, she wasn’t considered significant in the Huo Family, not even remembering she had a Spirit Root.
But so what? Isn’t she still in the Immortal Armor Class? While Huo Huan’s sister, with better conditions, can only barely manage to stay afloat.
Changgui stopped walking, and since Huo Ting walked ahead, she didn’t notice and continued on.
The distance between them widened, and Changgui shouted: "You go back first, I suddenly remembered I have something to do!"
After speaking, he ran in the opposite direction.
Huo Ting looked back at him but didn’t ask what he had to do, just continued expressionlessly towards the Immortal Cultivation Academy.
There was still some time for the lunch break, so she hurried to read. She had already thoroughly understood the course content, and she wasn’t reading about Elixirs now. She didn’t want to go far down this path; she wanted to find another direction, perhaps wandering the world like a heroine.
Changgui ran towards the main residence of the Huo Family relying on memory, only feeling how far the journey was, feeling as if he ran to the woods in Qian Ding Sect’s small mountain.
When he reached a large gate, he was stopped by guards.
"I want to find Uncle Huo Lian." Changgui tilted his head, face full of innocence.
The guards on both sides exchanged glances, one of them asked: "What’s your name?"
Changgui was somewhat surprised, then a bit joyous: "My name is Chen Changgui, from the Qian Ding Sect."
Hearing this, the guards indeed let him through and even directed him to where Huo Lian generally might be.
