The more Mo Zi realized that Huo Wei liked to listen to the affairs of the Jianghu, just like a little girl is very curious about unknown things, as soon as he talked about the affairs of the Jianghu, Huo Wei completely diverted her attention and stopped thinking about Mo Ziqian. sad thing. This is a good sign. As the only person who comforted Huo Wei, he obviously felt that Huo Wei became more dependent on him. So whenever he was free, he went to chat with Huo Wei behind others' backs, and told her a lot of things outside.
To Mo Ziyue, those things were just commonplace, but to Huo Wei, they were important information to settle down.
Today's martial arts world is divided into two major factions, one is the well-known upright sect headed by Mo Zhipeng, the so-called upright people. In view of the fact that Huo Wei knows that the Mo family is all despicable people, and no one helped the original owner in the martial arts conference in the book, she is not interested in these "righteous people", but has a little expectation and curiosity about the Demon Cult.
It is written in the book that after the hero and heroine fell off the cliff, they became incognito, changed their appearance and wandered the rivers and lakes, met a lot of "magic people", made many friends, and got a lot of help. Later, they brought people back to expose Mo Mo in one fell swoop. Zi Yue accidentally exposed Mo Zhipeng's true face.
For the male and female protagonists, Mo Zhipeng is partial to Mo Ziyue, and dislikes Mo Ziqian very much. Naturally, he is not the same as them, but the evil spirits who help them are their good friends. Not to mention the temperament of the hero and heroine, just talking about the things they met and the people they made friends with is enough to prove that there is no distinction between good and evil. And who divides the so-called "good" and "evil"? Isn't it just that the ways are different and do not conspire with each other, so these famous and decent sects that have been passed down for a long time have labeled them as demon sects
So Huo Wei quietly guided Mo Ziyue to talk more about the Devil's Cult. Another major force in this arena is the Demon Sect headed by the Tianji Sect. In fact, there are some sects that have been passed down for a long time, but most of them are new sects compared to other sects. The common characteristics of these sects are that they behave in a public manner, do not pay attention to those etiquette rules, act extremes when they have revenge, refuse to forgive others, and are disliked by the decent sects. They are collectively called the Demon Cult.
The members of the Devil's Cult don't care about being called the Devil's Cult, and they don't like to associate with the famous and decent people who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality. Of course, there must be scum among them, but this has nothing to do with good or evil. People like the Mo family are also scum in Huo Wei's eyes, but they can hide, and those stupid scum can't hide. Scum. The decent sect discovered that the scum would clean up the sect, and so would the Demon Cult.
When Mo Ziyue talked to Huo Wei, he was full of accusations and contempt towards the Demon Cult, but Huo Wei would naturally extract important information and would not be misled by him. The original owner lost his father five years ago, and the war caused the Tianji Sect to lose its leader. Now the leader's son is in charge, with vicious methods and a lot of brains.
Back then, Mo Zhipeng wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Demon Cult had no leader and wipe them out in one fell swoop, so he just made a great contribution to become the leader of the alliance and gain a good reputation. But I didn't expect that the new leader was very good at employing people, and he was also very good at using tactics. As soon as he took over, he would integrate the remaining forces to fight against the righteous way. Mo Zhipeng's attack not only failed to destroy the Demon Cult, but acted as a catalyst for the new leader, giving the new leader the opportunity to win over the Demon Cult and unite to fight against foreign enemies, thus convincing the new leader and truly taking him as the leader.
Mo Zhipeng was also injured at that time, and the righteous people also lost a lot. Seeing that they couldn't take advantage of it, they had to retreat. Therefore, some people complained that he was too radical and caused some trouble for him as the leader.
In the past five years, Mo Zhipeng has secured his position as the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he has recruited many sect leaders to work for him, and his reputation is growing. But the new leader of Tianji Sect has almost gathered all the demon sects. Those sects respect Tianji Sect and respect the new leader very much. They even collectively call him "the leader" and bow down to him.
This kind of cohesion even Mo Zhipeng is envious of, so he is very jealous of the leader of the Tianji Sect, and wants to get rid of him quickly, but it is a pity that the leader is dressed in red and wearing a mask every time he shows up. No one knows how long he is. What, no one even knows his real name.
After all, the old leader used to be the leader of the Demon Cult, and he was the person determined to be killed by righteous people. He suffered countless assassinations. That's why he protected his only son so well. Only trustworthy people know the identity of his son. It's just that he didn't expect that the new leader would still not reveal his true face after he took office, and even if they met face to face in the arena, they wouldn't even know who he was.
Huo Wei is more interested in being so mysterious, but at the moment, saving her life is the most important thing. It will be a matter of future time to experience these wonderful stories in the rivers and lakes.
Huo Wei and Mo Zi got closer, showing their dependence on him, making him think that there was a great hope of getting the cheat book. Occasionally, when Liu Yulian complained about Huo Wei in private, Mo Ziyue would speak up for her without any trace, for fear that Liu Yulian would spoil his good deeds. So Huo Wei managed to stabilize the Mo family.
Even the Mo family, in order to let some people from the rivers and lakes who came early see how good they are to Huo Wei, these days they especially like to care about her in front of others. People look a little better.
In this way, the martial arts conference will arrive soon.
The important people in the world gathered together, and Mo Zhipeng arranged a grand meeting of martial arts competitions to test the new talents of each sect in the school this year, and at the same time, it also gave each sect a chance to make a face and show their strength. If any sect wins the first place for several years in a row, then the status of this sect in Jianghu will also be greatly improved, and it will be valued by people.
Huo Wei smiled again recently, as if she had completely let go of the matter of retiring the engagement, and greeted Mo Ziqian, Liu Rongrong and Neng politely, without the slightest bit of hatred, which made the Mo family and the Liu family feel that she was generous and careless. Completely relaxed his vigilance.
Mo Ziyue wanted to please her again, so when she said she wanted to watch the martial arts conference, he helped her to watch the fun together.
Huo Wei and the Mo family brothers stood behind Mo Zhipeng together. After the competition started, Mo Ziyue lowered his head and approached her, and said with concern: "Swords have no eyes. Although the rules are competitions on stage, accidents are inevitable. Cousin, be careful, and hide behind me if anything happens."
Huo Wei watched the fight on the stage without even giving him a second glance, nodded and said, "I see bro."
Mo Ziyue was very helpless, so he could only show his brother's caring expression for his sister, and said again: "Say it when you are tired."
Huo Wei heard his voice, and he almost gave up the idea of proposing marriage.
Her single word "Brother" fully reflects her thoughts of only treating him as a relative, and she always pays attention to put an end to his thoughts of wanting to get married, otherwise something will be confused, but fortunately, the effect is good.
The more Mo Zi cares about Huo Wei these days, it's done in private. Now he protects Huo Wei in public, making Mo Ziqian next to him take a few more glances. Mo Ziqian also dragged Mo Ziyue two steps, and whispered: "Brother, why are you so concerned about Huo Wei? You don't want to marry her, do you?"
Mo Zi smiled gently and said, "She is our cousin, and we should take care of her."
Mo Ziqian was a little anxious, "Brother, you must never marry her. She is not in good health, and the Liu family members said that she will die soon. Besides, she is too weak and inferior. How can she be your good wife?"
Mo Zi sighed more, and looked at him helplessly, "Ziqian, you hurt my cousin's heart, we should treat her better and let her not resent her, otherwise it will be bad for your reputation if outsiders find out."
These words made Mo Ziqian feel ashamed. It turned out that everything the elder brother did was to clean up the mess for him, and these days he was only interested in talking with Liu Rongrong, and he didn't think of any remedy at all. It was because the elder brother was thoughtful.
The more Mo Ziqian thanked Mo Zi, the more Mo Zi accepted it. He has always been like this, very hypocritical.
Although Huo Wei couldn't hear what the two of them said, she could hear their inner voices, and guessed their conversation pretty much. She ignored it and stared at the stage without blinking. It was wonderful!
When she was the empress, she also learned martial arts to go to the battlefield, but that was not the world of martial arts. Martial arts were limited to basic self-defense techniques similar to modern ones, and there was no such miraculous skill as light work. And the martial arts she used in the filming were all shot by Diao Weiya, and now she actually saw someone flying up, jumping three meters high, with a sword and sword energy!
There was another who stabbed at the opponent with a sword, and cut off a strand of hair near the opponent's ear. The man dodged urgently, and left a shallow scratch on his face with his backhand. So thrilling!
Another person picked up a hammer and hit the opponent's back. The opponent's face turned pale, but he turned around and returned the carbine. The point of the gun was only a little away from the man's abdomen.
Huo Wei couldn't help but exclaimed, this was really her subconscious reaction, because watching this battle, she would really be grateful that they almost died!
Mo Zi laughed and said to her: "Cousin, don't be afraid, everyone will order as soon as possible."
"Is this all-in-one?" Huo Wei was a little puzzled, but her eyes became brighter. She wants to learn martial arts, she must learn!
The more Mo Zi knew that she was interested in Jianghu affairs, the more he came to build a good impression. Whenever someone came to the stage, he would softly explain to Huo Wei the skills used by that person and the combat experience, like an excellent commentator.
It is understood that Huo Wei looks much more relaxed. In the past, she was more surprised by memorizing their moves quickly, and analyzed their attack points and defense methods from Mo Ziyue's explanation. , and weaknesses.
Weaknesses are very important. Each school has its own style of practice, with strengths and weaknesses. If she can remember the weaknesses of each school, the chances of self-defense will be higher in the future.
At the same time, Huo Wei began to listen to the voices of everyone present one by one. She needed to know who was Mo Zhipeng's lackey and who was dissatisfied with Mo Zhipeng. Who has friendship with her father Huo Feng, and who needs help in crisis.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Using the metaphor of "jianghu" just means that there will never be peace in the rivers and lakes. No matter how Mo Zhipeng is the leader of the martial arts, there will still be people who have conflicts with him, people who want to pull him down, or in other words, Mo Zhipeng's bastards will also have enemies, and these people may stand against Mo Zhipeng The antithesis of , just give them a chance.
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
Huo Wei chose the Voice of All Souls in order to understand the current situation, analyze her own situation, and use everything available to protect herself.
Mo Ziyue pretended to be concerned beside her, but he didn't notice Huo Wei's distraction at all. He thought that Huo Wei had been watching the competition excitedly, as if she was a curious little girl.
After half a day of competition, Huo Wei learned about the martial arts characteristics of each sect, and made a general outline. At the same time, he found that there were six sects present who obeyed Mo Zhipeng's orders completely, and four sects were neutral. As long as your own interests are not violated.
The neutral sect used to have a good relationship with Huo Feng, but it was only in the past. It is not an empty talk for people to go out for tea. After five years, they may be wise to protect themselves, but when the critical moment comes, it is very possible to help her with a word.
The remaining two schools were dissatisfied with Mo Zhipeng, namely the Yueshan School and the Xiaguang School.
The Yueshan faction also had a high status in the Jianghu. When Mo Zhipeng led the crowd to attack the Demon Cult and failed to please him, it was the head of the Yueshan faction who questioned his ability and was unwilling to let him be the leader. But it's hard to do it alone, and Mo Zhipeng succeeded in taking the position in the end.
Huo Wei knew from the voice of the head of the Yueshan faction that he was eyeing the position of leader, but because there were no good opportunities, he only focused on developing the sect for the time being, and didn't want to make trouble.
The Xiaguang Sect is Liu Yulian's former sect, all of them are women. The current head and Liu Yulian are sisters. Huo Wei discovered a gossip from her and Liu Yulian's heartfelt, that is, they both had a crush on Mo Zhi back then. Peng, and originally Mo Zhipeng also preferred the head of the Xiaguang Sect. It was Liu Yulian who tricked the head of the Xiaguang Sect to miss the appointment, and then went to Mo Zhipeng's appointment by herself.
That time by accident, Liu Yulian and Mo Zhipeng were dealing with things in the Jianghu, got along for a month, and got together naturally. When the few people met again, the head of the Xiaguang Sect was gone.
The head of the Xiaguang School was very angry, and since then regarded Liu Yulian as an enemy. After Liu Yulian left the sect to get married, she wanted to repair the relationship with the sect many times, but the head of the Xiaguang sect ignored her at all after she took office. It wasn't until Liu Yulian became the leader's wife that it was better, but it was only better on the surface. The Xiaguang faction still hated her, and Mo Zhipeng was also hated. Mo Zhipeng was too easy to change his mind back then.
These two people, Huo Wei thinks they can be used, and there is another person, Huo Wei remembers that she once came to Huo Feng for help, saying that his wife was lingering in the sick bed and had no money for medical treatment, so he asked Huo Feng for help. The original owner happened to see him begging his father at that time, so he was more impressed. At that time, Huo Feng agreed, but he passed away within two days, so the matter was naturally left alone.
Huo Wei remembered this because the middle-aged man named Liao Hong now has gray hair and looks tired. Huo Wei found out that he was working as a thug for one of Mo Zhipeng's henchmen, the so-called "menke", doing some thankless things in order to earn some silver to support his wife.
While everyone was competing, Liao Hong was still worried about not having enough money for the medicine, wondering if there was any chance to make money in this martial arts conference.
Huo Wei looked at him a few more times, remembered him, and at the same time remembered a few people who were also worried, anxious or sad, it was all useful.
The competition was over, and it was time for the dinner party. The spacious hall and the courtyard outside were full of seats. The heads of various sects and their valued disciples were in the hall, and the rest of the people were in the courtyard. It was very lively.
Huo Wei was now by Liu Yulian's side. There were so many people, Liu Yulian deliberately wanted people to see how good she was to Huo Wei. After she sat down, she kept smiling motherly and took her hand to introduce the people at the table to her. .
Huo Wei had just the right amount of shyness on her face, but she called people one by one politely, without appearing timid at all.
Someone said in surprise: "Hey, this is the daughter left by President Huo? Has she grown up so much?"
"That's right, it was thanks to Patriarch Liu who extended Wei'er's life that this child grew up so big. Patriarch Liu is Wei'er's benefactor, and I have always taught her to repay Patriarch Liu well." Liu Yulian was afraid that Huo Wei would say something wrong. As he said, he simply acted first and mentioned the Liu family's kindness to Huo Wei.
Liu Yulian mentioned this matter five or six times these days. Huo Wei smiled and bowed her head every time without refuting. Liu Yulian thought it would be the same this time. Then after Huo Wei said what about Liu Rongrong, it seemed ungrateful and ungrateful. This is how "morality" is emphasized in the world, and the kindness is beyond heaven.
Lin and Li at the same table did not speak. After all, the better the reputation of the Liu family outside, the better for them, and of course they would not help Huo Wei.
But this time Huo Wei said, "Auntie, I've always been puzzled by something. Today, there are so many seniors here. I want to understand clearly. After all, the seniors should still have an impression of what happened a few years ago. "
"What's the matter?" Liu Yulian didn't take it seriously, and asked casually, with a loving smile on her face.
Huo Wei looked at everyone suspiciously, and said softly: "You all know that I was born weak. My father sought medical treatment everywhere for my body, and finally invited Patriarch Liu to treat me. I am very grateful, and my father is also very grateful." Grateful, I remember my father happily told me that he was very grateful to Patriarch Liu, and gave Patriarch Liu a thousand taels of gold as a consultation fee, and even the aunt who helped introduce him, my father also gave a hundred taels of gold as a thank you. matter?"
Huo Wei's eyes were full of thirst for knowledge, as if she was really curious about what happened back then, but the expressions of the people at this table became subtle, and their eyes swiveled between Liu Yulian and Liu's sister-in-law.
The smile on Liu Yulian's face has froze. The treatment took place eight years ago. At that time, Huo Feng was already the leader of the alliance. His daughter was very happy to survive. The reward was also very high-profile. Everyone in the room knew that she wanted to cheat Will not work. It is only right and proper to give a fee to see a doctor, what kind of benefactor is it? What she just said was a joke.
If you want to repay your kindness by giving thousands of taels of gold, then who would dare to seek medical treatment from Patriarch Liu? Consultation fee is easy to give, favor is hard to pay back! Even if Liu Yulian's surname is Liu, she would never dare to help the Liu family establish such rules. She no longer dares to look at Lin and Li.
Mrs. Li said with a smile: "That's the case. Mrs. Mo is too grateful. Although the elder brother said that he saved Miss Huo's life and abolished a lot of things, the consultation fee given by Mr. Huo is also very high. Mr. Huo really It hurts Miss Huo very much."
The wife of the head of the Yueshan School smiled and took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "That's right, that's true."
Liu Yulian couldn't let Mrs. Li go on talking, embarrassing the head of the Liu family, she hurriedly smiled and said: "President Huo only has Weier as a daughter, and she really loves Weier very much. Alas, it's a pity that President Huo left early, otherwise he would definitely be Wei'er is like a pearl like a treasure, and now Wei'er doesn't know how happy she will be."
Liu Yulian deliberately brought up Huo Feng's death, in order to make Huo Wei feel uncomfortable and stop talking, but Huo Wei lowered her head and said, "Yes, it would be great if my father was still there. Today I saw a Liao Wei at the martial arts tournament Uncle, I remember him. He came to my house before my father's accident and asked my father for help. I heard that my father promised to hire a famous doctor for him in two days and help him pay for the consultation. Who would have thought that in just two days, my father would not have money. I don't know what happened to Uncle Liao's wife.
If something happened to his wife because my father didn't help him in time, then..."
Huo Wei pressed her eyes with a veil, and several people were touched by her appearance. This is a kind girl, she still remembers the past five years, and she is still so worried. Liu Yulian didn't know what she was doing when she brought up this matter, she felt a little uneasy for some reason, but she couldn't stop it.
The wife of the head of the Yueshan faction asked: "Who is this Uncle Liao of yours? Maybe we know his recent situation. After so many years, maybe his crisis has passed."
Huo Wei raised her head, said with reddish eyes: "It would be great if it's over. Uncle Liao's name is Liao Hong. I saw that he seems to be in the Tongshan school."
"Liao Hong of the Tongshan School?" The wife of the head of the Yueshan School was startled, and looked at a table in the yard, just in time when Liao Hong heard his name, he stood up and looked at this side in confusion, waiting for orders. He looked old and tired, and he was not doing well at first glance, and they all knew that this person was working for the Tongshan faction, and he was so fierce that he wanted to earn some money for his wife to see a doctor. None of them thought that when Huo Feng was alive, they wanted to help him.
Huo Wei looked expectantly at the wife of the head of the Yueshan School, and asked, "How is Uncle Liao doing?"
Several people at the same table looked at each other, Liu Yulian patted Huo Wei's hand and said: "Everyone has their own fate, what happened back then can only be said to be tricked by God, and now he is a member of the Tongshan School, so he can naturally solve the problem. "
Huo Wei looked at Liao Hong with a look of unbearable expression, "But I think he seems very tired and unhappy. Is he... is his wife still there?"
The last sentence was very quiet, and everyone could feel Huo Wei's cautiousness, for fear of getting a bad answer, as if she would blame herself and be sad as long as Mrs. Liao was gone.
Mrs. Li next to him comforted, "Miss Huo, don't worry, his wife is still there, but I heard that she is not in good health. They even came to Liu's house for medical treatment..."
Mrs. Lin quickly took over the conversation, "Our Liu family has always been committed to curing diseases and saving people. If it can be saved, the consultation fees are easy to talk about. It's just that Mrs. Liao's illness needs extremely rare and expensive medicinal materials, so it can't be cured. It's growing slowly."
Mrs. Lin wanted to take this opportunity to explain clearly the nobility of the Liu family, and clear up the "misunderstanding" that she just claimed to be a benefactor. But I heard Huo Wei say: "Mrs. Liu, do you mean that as long as there are medicinal materials, is Master Liu willing to cure Mrs. Liao without charging fees? Patriarch Liu is really a benevolent doctor!"
Huo Wei admired and admired her face, Lin's face was stiff and she could only bite the bullet and nod. Then Huo Wei took the initiative to hold Liu Yulian's hand, "Auntie, since my father made the promise before his death, I must fulfill this promise for my father. Didn't my father leave a lot of property back then? Use those properties to help Liao Uncle!"
