HCB Chapter 281 Recruiting a Son-in-Law
Chapter 281 Recruiting a Son-in-Law
In Hua Yun'er's eyes, although Liu Yue ascended from the lower realm, he was highly skilled and had great abilities, and no one could hurt him.
"While gathering herbs, we were discovered by a few magical beasts." Liu Yue shrugged indifferently: "It's just some superficial injuries, but... it couldn't save your fourth brother."
"You did this for me?" Hua Yun'er stared at Liu Yue, never expecting that Liu Yue had gone to the dangerous place alone to gather herbs to save her fourth brother.
“We’re friends, aren’t we?” Ryuzuki said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yun'er was deeply moved. She never expected that this man would go to such lengths for her.
"Thank you."
Hua Yun'er said gratefully.
Seeing Hua Yun'er's reaction, Liu Yue felt a strange sensation in her heart.
However, he quickly suppressed this strange feeling. If it weren't for the Hua family head, so many people wouldn't have died in the lower realm!
Devastation, a living hell—
Having stayed in the Azure Dragon Realm for so long, I have no idea what Canglan has become now.
A hint of worry flashed across Liuyue's eyes.
The undisguised emotions were clearly seen by Hua Yun'er, who assumed that Jun Qing felt guilty and worried because he couldn't save Hua Zixing.
Hanako Yoshimi died.
The head of the Hua family was completely disillusioned with Mu Xingzhi. Back then, someone was hunting down Mu Xingzhi, and he took a huge risk to hide Mu Xingzhi in the Hua family.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xingzhi was able to stand by and watch his son die.
The antidote! If Jun Qing can concoct an antidote, why can't Mu Xingzhi?
Could it be that Mu Xingzhi, a native of the Nine Provinces, is inferior to a youth who ascended from the lower realm?
Although Jun Qing couldn't save Hua Zixing, it was indeed the antidote! Who told... Hua Zixing not to live to see this moment.
Whenever he thought of this, the Hua family head's hatred for Mu Xingzhi deepened.
"It's still too late." Liuyue sighed.
"You don't need to blame yourself." The head of the Hua family waved his hand, and because of this matter, his doubts about Liu Yue were dispelled.
It seems that Jun Qing really wants to join the Hua family, otherwise why would he risk being eaten by magical beasts to gather herbs?
"However, how do you know the antidote for this poison?" The Hua family head looked at Liu Yue with suspicion.
"When I was in the lower realm, I received divine instruction from a god, so I have some knowledge of combat magic and medicine."
"You also know array formations?"
The head of the Hua family looked at Liuyue in surprise.
Liu Yue nodded: "I know a little bit about it."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Hua family was overjoyed; "Then you might be able to break the formation currently enveloping the Hua family?"
After speaking, the head of the Hua family stared intently at the young man sitting to his right.
Liu Yue's expression remained unchanged as she shook her head.
"The Hua family's formation is watertight; only the person who set it up can break it."
Upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashed in the eyes of the Hua family head, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
His worry was that, because of the formation, he could not kill Mu Xingzhi to avenge his son.
They breathed a sigh of relief because if Liu Yue couldn't break the formation, it meant that the person on that day wasn't Liu Yue.
"Alas, you are unaware of the fact that the deadly poison in Xing'er's body was inflicted by the very mage of this formation."
The head of the Hua family sighed, "But I have no choice."
He shook his head. If it weren't for the formation, Mu Xingzhi would have died hundreds of times over.
"I see." Liu Yue suddenly realized: "It seems that the Hua family head deeply hates this person."
"Yes." The head of the Hua family nodded.
"Although I cannot break this formation, I can think of a way to neutralize it and dissolve the ominous formation covering the Hua Mansion. In this way, even if the formation master dies, the Hua Mansion will not be affected in any way."
"Oh?"
The head of the Hua family looked at Liu Yue in surprise, "It can be resolved?"
"But I can't guarantee whether it will succeed; I can only say that I will try my best."
"Good, good, good." The head of the Hua family nodded hurriedly, overjoyed. If this formation could be broken, the Hua family would no longer be threatened.
He was determined to kill Mu Xingzhi to accompany his son in death.
"I'll give it a try," Liuyue said modestly.
She's very familiar with this formation!
It seems this formation master is most likely an old acquaintance.
Indeed, the poison that Hua Zixing was poisoned with also came from her, but that was in her past life!
She had never taught anyone how to cure that poison; she was the only one in the world who could do so.
And Hanako's seven-day deadline was also within her calculations! If he appeared at this time, Hanako would surely die.
Every penny was calculated meticulously.
When the formation was being broken, the Hua family head did not leave. When he saw that Liu Yue was seriously injured in breaking the formation, the slightest doubt in his heart was dispelled.
"It seems that the person who broke into the dark room that day really had nothing to do with Jun Qing." The head of the Hua family murmured to himself. He had always been suspicious of Jun Qing. Although the little thief who broke into the dark room that day was dead, he still felt that something was wrong.
"Father, I knew Junqing was a good man!" Hua Yun'er exclaimed, her eyes filled with infatuation. How wonderful it would be if this man were her husband!
"Yun'er, do you have feelings for him?" the Hua family head asked knowingly.
"Father!" Upon hearing this, Hua Yun'er's cheeks flushed red, and she turned her head away. "Of course, in the Azure Dragon Realm now, which woman doesn't like Jun Qing?"
"In my opinion, Jun Qing seems to have feelings for you as well," the Hua family head asked calmly, stroking his goatee.
This person—if he could become the Hua family's son-in-law.
Why should the Hua family have to submit to the Ye family in the future?
Would someone as capable as you be willing to be a dependent?
It seems he needs to find an opportunity to test this kid.
Finally, the formation was broken, and Liuyue spat out a mouthful of blood.
Hua Yun'er rushed forward: "Young Master Jun!" She took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of Liu Yue's mouth.
"It's nothing." Liu Yue's face was still slightly pale, and she shook her head.
"As expected, it's gone." The Hua family head activated his Xuanling power but couldn't sense the presence of the formation.
Ha, now he'll see how arrogant Mu Xingzhi is!
"Patriarch Hua, I have a small request, I wonder..."
"Speak." The head of the Hua family was in a good mood. Although he had lost a son, if Jun Qing was willing to marry into the family, it would be a great joy.
"I would like to meet this formation master alone."
"What's so difficult about that?" the Hua family head said with a smile. He thought Jun Qing was going to take the opportunity to ask for something, but it turned out he just wanted to see Mu Xingzhi.
"That's right."
"Thank you, Patriarch Hua."
dungeon.
It was pitch black here, the cells were covered with dry straw, and rats would scurry around from time to time!
Mu Xingzhi didn't know how many days he had been imprisoned, but he estimated that Hua Zixing should also be dead.
Although it is unknown who used what means to extend Hanako's life by seven days, Hanako could only live for these seven days at most.
He had seen the horrific state of people who had been poisoned by this poison; they looked so terrible that there was no way they could survive!
Even that person might not have the antidote! This poison is destined to be incurable.
He figured that the old man from the Hua family was coming to ask him to leave the dungeon.
Mu Xingzhi, sitting cross-legged, snorted coldly. Over the years, he had set up formations for the Hua family, saving them from countless troubles. But that old bastard Hua Xiong was quite something.
They turned their backs on their good-for-nothing son and locked him up in this wretched place for so long.
This is really unreasonable!
Mu Xingzhi paused. He heard footsteps, but there was only one person? And these footsteps didn't belong to that old bastard, Hua Xiong.
Looking up, a dark red figure walked into the dimly lit corridor. The flickering candlelight stretched his shadow long, and against the light, Mu Xingzhi couldn't see what he looked like.
However, when the icy aura swept over him, Mu Xingzhi couldn't help but shiver.
"Who are you?" Mu Xingzhi frowned. "Did that old bastard Hua Xiong send you to let us through? Let that old bastard come himself!"
Mu Xingzhi said coldly.
The figure remained motionless, standing in front of the cell, looking at him with a detached gaze.
Suddenly meeting those icy gazes, Mu Xingzhi shivered, and scenes from his memories flashed through his mind.
This face, these eyes, they look so alike...
No, that's impossible, that person is already dead.
"Mu Xingzhi".
Liu Yue looked down at Mu Xingzhi, who was sitting cross-legged, and said, "It's been a long time, my good disciple."
boom!
The moment the words were spoken, Mu Xingzhi felt as if he had been struck by lightning. How... how could this be!
"Who...who are you?"
He felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he trembled as he backed away, sitting down on the hay, staring at the boy in red with terror in his eyes.
No! It absolutely couldn't be her! That woman is dead.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Liu Yue sighed softly, looking at Mu Xingzhi's disheveled appearance. This was the good disciple she had taken in her previous life.
In her previous life, she had two apprentices.
One of them was Mu Xingzhi.
In her past life, the Divine Realm captured Mu Xingzhi and forced her to show herself. However, after she appeared, she was trapped in a death formation and realized that Mu Xingzhi had already joined forces with the Divine Realm!
The whole thing was staged to lure her out.
He trapped her to death using the death formation she taught him!
He said, "Master, don't blame me. Blame yourself for having the filthy blood of the demon race flowing through your veins! If I had known you had demon blood, I would never have become your disciple!"
