Chapter 270
And now I have to kowtow?!
The crowd’s eyes gleamed with anticipation, finally a chance to witness a spectacular event!
Huo Ting, with her strong abilities and the backing of her family name, was always so arrogant, barely acknowledging anyone. If she spoke, it was to mock others, and with her messy hair, nobody had a good impression of her. Instead, there was a sense of suppressed anger.
What they didn’t want to admit was that what annoyed them the most was a low-born concubine daughter rising above them through her own efforts. This was intolerable to them.
Today, not only had they found an excuse for losing to her — claiming Huo Ting stole many Elixirs from Huo Huan, leading to her rapid cultivation — but they could also watch someone they disliked a great deal kneel and apologize. How could they miss out on such a good thing?
"Hurry up!" The Second Master Huo was a bit impatient.
Bullies his precious gem, and now dragging her feet to apologize!
Huo Ting thought an ordinary apology was enough, but now they wanted her to kowtow? How can someone of the same generation kowtow to another? Is it because her mother was a servant, she can’t escape a servant’s fate?
But it’s not like she chose to be born here!
Besides, she never stole anything! She was being falsely accused!
From the gaps between Huo Ting’s clenched fists, bright red blood slowly seeped out.
Grinding her teeth, she walked with great difficulty, step by step, towards Huo Huan.
"Huo Ting!" Changgui came running, gasping for breath, "What are you up to here?"
Huo Ting was startled, not expecting Changgui to return at this moment.
Then she laughed self-deprecatingly, just adding one more person to watch her embarrassment.
"You’re here? Hmph, just in time to see her kowtow and apologize to my sister!" Huo Huan crossed her arms, her round belly jutting out with a significant presence.
Changgui frowned, pulling Huo Ting back a few steps: "Kowtow? To whom? You falsely accuse her of stealing and even want her to kowtow and apologize?"
"Where did this shabby kid come from?" Seeing this person siding with Huo Ting, the Second Master immediately spoke gruffly.
Changgui looked the similarly rotund Second Master Huo up and down as if scrutinizing him, then sighed, shaking his head. Indeed, he was not Uncle Huo Lian’s father, far inferior! Luckily, the Huo Family has Uncle Huo Lian; otherwise, would it become just like the Chu Family?
Though he hasn’t entered the Chu Family, he’s heard plenty of complaints from several adults!
The Second Master saw this unknown brat not only sizing him up but also shaking his head in apparent disappointment, making him furious: "Which family’s kid are you?!"
"I am Chen Changgui, a disciple of the Qian Ding Sect." Changgui responded politely, cupping his hands in salute.
"Qian Ding Sect?" Upon hearing the name, the Second Master did not recognize it, thinking it was some insignificant sect, laughed angrily, "How did a child like you sneak into our Huo Family Academy? Perhaps you’re like Huo Ting, a thief who crept in unnoticed?!"
"Get lost! Huo Ting, hurry and kneel!" The Second Master stepped forward to push Changgui away, only to find this seemingly eight or nine-year-old child as immovable as a mountain.
"Second Uncle, why are you being so rude to my guest?"
Those who were eager to see Huo Ting and Changgui humiliated turned to look, all dumbfounded.
