Chapter 269
"Hurry up and apologize to my treasure!" The second master pointed at Huo Ting, spitting as he spoke.
Huo Huan patted his equally round belly of the family trio: "That’s right, that’s right, hurry up and apologize to my sister, or my dad won’t spare you!"
Huo Ting sneered and looked at Huo Huan’s sister: "So, you agree with what they say, that I stole the Fasting Pill?"
Huo Huan’s sister hesitated for a moment, then put on a pouty expression: "Isn’t it? Now that you’re doing so well, who knows if you also stole other things from me? Otherwise, how else could it be?!"
The students secretly watching were all dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe that this Huo Ting, who was so arrogant, actually achieved her status by stealing things from someone else’s legitimate daughter. No wonder, just saying a concubine like her, how could she cultivate so fast, be so impressive, and have such an arrogant attitude all the time. Now she’s been caught?
It’s not that they couldn’t compare to her. The Huo Family is in the business of making Elixirs, so they surely have plenty of good pills. Everyone knows that the second master spoils those two children the most. Huo Huan’s sister must have a lot of good stuff, and Huo Ting taking some of it is obviously a solid boost on the path of cultivation!
Even though their families were quite well-off, they couldn’t afford the pills that greatly benefited cultivation. Even if they had the money, they couldn’t buy them! Those who had both money and connections had long gone to study in the large Sect’s inner academies. Only those like them, who had no link to the big Sect cultivators, took the step-back approach of choosing the Huo Family, or had business dealings with them.
Huo Ting stole someone’s good stuff; naturally, she surpassed them, it’s not that they were too weak!
The students felt somewhat comforted inside.
Even Huo Ting’s always emotionless face couldn’t help but show some fluctuation. Other accusations were manageable, but if she admitted to stealing the Elixir, would the Huo Family still tolerate her?
Moreover, the Fasting Pill was something she found. Huo Huan’s sister always secretly buried it in the garden, and she dug for half a day! She even tripped while digging, face down and all, it was quite embarrassing.
But in the current situation, what could she do without apologizing?
Should she rely on her own strength to beat up the second master’s family? Then she’d still be kicked out from the Huo Family!
Getting kicked out wouldn’t matter, she just feared being crippled first, then kicked out!
She had worked tirelessly in cultivation day and night, why should their words reduce her efforts to having been stolen?
Didn’t they know in their hearts whether she actually stole anything? If simply stealing some items could bring such cultivation strength, why was Huo Huan’s sister still at the very bottom of Qi Cultivation to this day?
"Hurry up and apologize! Don’t make me enforce the family rules!" The second master relentlessly continued, seeing Huo Ting’s silence, he added, "You wouldn’t want me to tell your father, right?"
Thinking of her biological father, the Huo Family’s third master, her heart turned even colder.
Others might hesitate, but if the third master knew, he might outright support crippling her!
That person had never been fond of her, even harboring some hatred, though he had consistently ignored her...
Huo Ting clenched her fists, maybe, she should just apologize first, and wait for the right time. There would finally be a day when she could break free from these shackles...
Huo Huan smugly pulled out his sister from behind: "Hah, sister, stand tall, make her kowtow thrice! A concubine actually dared to steal, this is already considered light!"
