Chapter 268
Uncle Huo Lian actually gave special instructions about his own matters!
Changgui walked into the main residence with great surprise. Everything in sight exuded an elegant freshness. To put it in detail, one could only say that the Chu Family’s courtyard seemed more like that of a merchant’s house, whereas the Huo Family’s resembled a scholarly family.
Actually, as anyone with a discerning eye could see, the so-called elegance secretly concealed luxury everywhere; even every brick and tile surpassed the Chu Family utterly.
Changgui felt inexplicably happy. He started running excitedly, and quickly someone spotted him. Once they realized it was Changgui, they promptly took him to see Huo Lian.
When had the young Changgui ever enjoyed such treatment? Instantly, he felt incredibly important to Uncle Huo Lian, his heart swelling with pride and joy.
"Where’s Huo Ting? Get out here and apologize immediately!"
A shout instantly stirred the tranquil Immortal Cultivation Academy.
Zheng Tuo awakened from his meditation. Feng Tian had already peeked through the window, his face full of schadenfreude. He turned to Zheng Tuo and said, "Here comes the show! That Huo Ting only acts superior to us, but she’s actually nothing! Come and see, I wonder what trouble she’s caused this time?"
Zheng Tuo snorted coldly and, in all honesty, joined in as well.
In his view, Huo Ting deserved what she got from other wicked people! She walked around with a face that looked like someone owed her eight hundred thousand taels of gold, yet in the Huo Family, wasn’t she just at the mercy of others?
If only he could beat her...
Zheng Tuo shook his head, unwilling to think further. Why did thinking more make it even more frustrating?
Second Master Huo stormed into the Immortal Cultivation Academy, followed closely by the equally aggressive Huo Huan, while their sister weakly twisted her fingers, shrinking at the back.
Huo Huan’s sister actually didn’t want to come. It was only because her father insisted that she come, saying that Huo Ting had to apologize to her in person, so she had no choice.
Huo Ting lazily walked out from the Book Collection Pavilion, stretching lazily: "What wind blew the second master who has no Spirit Root to the Immortal Cultivation Academy? Could it be, Second Master, you’ve suddenly awakened a Spirit Root?"
Second Master immediately became even angrier. Not only did Huo Ting refuse to admit fault, but she was also so arrogant!
Everyone knows that being born without a Spirit Root means forever being disconnected from cultivation. You’ll never have one in your life, yet she talks like that!
Indeed, what do you expect from someone born from a maid! That dimwitted third brother doesn’t even manage his own daughter. This is just a concubine’s daughter; if it were a legitimate one, wouldn’t she be turning the world upside down?
Second Master, brimming with anger, pointed at Huo Ting and hurled insults: "You worthless creature, they say like father, like son! You were born from a maid and have become a thief! A liar as well! I reckon you’ve gotten used to stealing. How else could an insignificant concubine’s daughter get into the top-tier class? Haven’t you stolen quite a few of my treasured Elixirs before?!"
Huo Ting rolled her eyes.
"Father!" Huo Huan’s sister couldn’t help but tug at Second Master. Calling her precious in such a public setting, wasn’t that embarrassing?
"You’re too kind-hearted, are you trying to plead for her? Oh, precious, you can’t be so naive in this world!" Second Master earnestly admonished his sister.
Huo Huan’s face turned even redder. That’s not what she meant... But she couldn’t possibly say she wasn’t pleading, she just didn’t want to be called precious, could she? Wouldn’t that make her seem heartless?
She glanced furtively at Huo Ting. This Huo Ting, just a plain concubine’s daughter, yet she excelled in every aspect, even looking much prettier than herself. Why? Perhaps she had indeed stolen many of her things without her even knowing it?
