When the man looked at Hua Qingwu, Gui Lao put away his cell phone and walked towards Hua Qingwu without leaving a trace.
Chu Xun could clearly feel that Hua Qingwu's body was tense in vain.
Chu Xun's eyes were playful. Hua Qingwu had never made such a gesture during this journey. Her whole body was tense in a defensive posture. She was afraid of the man named Sheng Shao.
"When did Sixth Sister come back?" the man asked with a mellow smile on his lips.
"Just now." Hua Qingwu subconsciously moved closer to Chu Xun and said in a calm voice.
Hua Qingwu's movements made the man narrow his eyes slightly, and he glanced at Chu Xun curiously, but he did not stop, but moved naturally to Gui Lao.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Gui, in protecting Sixth Sister."
"This is what I should do." Gui Lao responded simply.
The man didn't care, and smiled mellowly, "Sixth sister, your third brother recently got a strange disease and did such a thing. The so-called family scandal should not be exposed to the public. I saw the video taken by Gui Lao and deleted it! Aunt Lan is still here Waiting for you, go back and see her."
Anger appeared in Hua Qingwu's eyes. The man's words seemed casual, but in fact he was threatening. However, she controlled it very well. She raised a smile and said: "Eldest brother is right, family ugliness should not be made public. If third brother's ugliness is seen by outsiders, Yeah, I thought our Hua family had bad family traditions. I’ll delete the video right now.”
She took out the mobile phone that Gui Lao gave her, pressed it a few times with her fingers, then raised her head and smiled brightly, "Brother, you should delete it yourself. I'm going to see my mother." He threw the phone away.
The man caught the phone and quickly deleted the video in it. When he raised his head to look, Hua Qingwu, Chu Xun, and Gui Lao had already entered the door. There was a look of doubt in his eyes.
Chu Xun raised his eyebrows. His phone vibrated just now. Hua Qingwu had sent the video to him.
Chu Xun followed Hua Qingwu all the way home. There were dozens of villas in the Hua family manor, and they were all occupied by Hua family members.
The three of them stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated villa.
A tall man in his late fifties, but with a gloomy face, was standing at the door of the villa, with his hands behind his back.
Hua Qingwu's steps froze, and she glanced at Chu Xun, who looked calm, then regained her firmness and strode forward.
"Kneel down." The man looked at Hua Qingwu coldly and drank.
Hua Qingwu bit her lip and clenched her fists, her joints turning white from the exertion.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" The man's face became a little gloomier.
"I heard it." Hua Qingwu gritted her teeth and looked up at the man, "But I don't know what I did wrong? Why did I kneel down?"
"Bastard, I'm your father, do you need any more reason to kneel down?" The man's face was full of anger, and he was very annoyed with Hua Qingwu's attitude.
The man is Hua Qingwu's father, Hua Moxie.
"Father? Have you ever considered me your daughter?" Hua Qingwu said sadly, "In your eyes, I'm just a chess piece with some value, right?"
"Bastard, is this the way you should treat your father?"
"Then what attitude should I use towards you? Ever since I was a child, have you ever given me a smile? I worked hard just to let you know that I am no worse than my brother. And what did you do? Make me work hard My career was transferred to my brother. Why? Just because I am a girl? For the sake of profit, you can send me as a commodity to the Yun family, and at this time, do you think I am your daughter?" Hua Qingwu asked sadly, already in tears Flow all over face.
"Shut up." Hua Moxie became angry and rushed over, waving his hand and slapping Hua Qingwu in the face.
Gui Lao's face turned cold and he stood between the two of them.
"Snapped!"
Gui Lao was taller than Hua Qingwu, and this slap slapped him on the shoulder. His shoulder sank, making Hua Moxie stagger a few steps.
"You bitch slave, you have so much courage, get out of here!" Hua Moxie yelled angrily, grabbing Gui Lao's collar and trying to throw him aside, but Gui Lao had roots under his feet, and he couldn't even try several times. He didn't succeed, so he got so angry that he kicked Gui Lao several times before giving up.
"I'm telling you, don't even think about leaving now that you're back. I've told the Yun family about your return, and they will come to pick you up tomorrow. I'm warning you, you'd better be honest. If you ruin my big event, don't Blame me for not caring about the relationship between father and daughter. Being able to marry Mr. Yun is a blessing you have earned over several lifetimes, so don’t be dissatisfied."
After Hua Moxie finished yelling, she waved her hands and walked away angrily.
Hua Qingwu seemed to have been drained of all her strength, her body swayed and was about to collapse.
"Miss, you must take care of yourself. Your husband is here, so don't worry." Gui Lao comforted Hua Qingwu.
gentlemen
Hua Qingwu seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and looked at Chu Xun pleadingly, looking pitifully like a kitten abandoned by its owner.
Chu Xun patted her shoulder and said, "Do what you want." A soft breath passed through her words, making Hua Qingwu feel refreshed.
Chu Xun didn't ask why their father and daughter were like this? Hua Qingwu relied on him because it was unnecessary, and he should protect her. As for Hua Moxie, it has nothing to do with me at all.
"Thank you!" With Chu Xun's approval, she felt at ease.
"Shall we go see your mother first?"
Hua Qingwu wiped away the tears on her face and forced a smile. She didn't want her mother to see her embarrassment.
He stepped forward and opened the door of the villa, and a cold air filled the air.
Hua Qingwu couldn't help but shiver. Even the old ghost is a bit perverted.
Chu Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand, and the majestic power of true energy swept out, dispelling the chill inside in the blink of an eye.
Hua Qingwu couldn't wait to run inside.
Chu Xun and Gui Lao followed and looked around. The decoration inside was a bit old, but the hygiene was very clean. It seemed that there was someone dedicated to cleaning.
Hua Qingwu had already run up to the second floor, and the two of them followed her.
Hua Qingwu was at the door of the first room on the left on the second floor. She wiped her face again to make sure there was no problem before opening the door.
It was bitingly cold in the room and the light was very dark. Hua Qingwu trembled and turned on the light.
Chu Xun looked up and saw a pale woman lying on the bed in the center of the room. She had been tortured by illness for a long time and was old and thin. Her eyes were closed tightly, and there was a layer of white frost on her eyelashes and hair. There were some grains of rice at the corners of the woman's mouth and around her face, but they were already covered with a layer of white frost. It looked like someone had fed her not long ago.
"Mom..." Hua Qingwu rushed over and looked at her mother who was tortured by a strange disease. Hua Qingwu could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
"Miss, let sir take a look quickly." said the old ghost.
Hua Qingwu turned her head and prayed: "Sir, please save my mother, please..."
Chu Xun waved his hand to stop her from continuing to beg. Frowning slightly, he began to think that Hua Qingwu's mother had the kind of physique he imagined, but now it seems that she is not at all.
The fingertips were lowered between Hua Qingwu's mother's eyebrows, and the power of true energy burst out.
"Huh?"
Chu Xun took back his hand, looking unsure.
His fingers touched the woman's eyebrows again, his eyelids drooped slightly and suddenly widened, with a surprised look on his face.
"Sir, how are you?" Hua Qingwu asked impatiently with a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry, she's fine, it's just a small problem." Chu Xun said easily, with a smile in his eyes. He really didn't expect that. He originally thought that the earth's spiritual energy was exhausted, but he didn't expect that many spiritual objects that he didn't expect were hidden. It was a surprise.
Hua Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Xun said that it was just a small problem, so he would definitely be able to cure it.
A smile also appeared on Gui Lao's face.
Chu Xun pondered for a while, but decided to tell Hua Qingwu what he knew. She had the right to know, and immediately said: "Your mother's illness is not caused by complacency, but is man-made."
"Hua Qingwu? What do you mean, sir, is someone deliberately trying to cover up my mother?" Hua Qingwu quickly understood, with a look of dismay on her pretty face.
Chu Xun nodded and said: "There is a spiritual creature in this world called the Wuji Ice Toad. It feeds on the vitality of living people. There are two types of ice toads, male and female. There is a Wuji female toad in your mother's body."
What Hua Qingwu and Gui Lao had heard was that ice toads were feeding on living people, which was undoubtedly a fantasy for them and difficult to understand at all.
Chu Xun also knew that the two of them could not understand that the Wuji Ice Toad alone was yin, but two of them were yang. It is a rare spiritual object that can increase your cultivation level after being refined. Chu Xun is confident that as long as he refines the Wuji Ice Toad, he can enter the foundation building stage.
"Let me tell you this, the most important thing now is to find the male toad."
"How can I find this?" Hua Qingwu asked anxiously.
"I have my own way, but I have to wait until night." Chu Xun said.
"Sir, I would like to ask, what will happen if the male toad cannot be found?" Gui Lao thought for a while and asked.
Chu Xun glanced at him and said indifferently: "If she can't find it, she can only wait to die. Only the male toad can lead to the female toad. The female toad is just dormant in her body now and will not hurt her life for the time being. If the male toad is If the toad dies or has an accident, then the female toad will be buried. At that time, she will be frozen into an ice cube that will break at the touch of a touch, and no one can save her."
Hua Qingwu's pretty face turned pale and her body swayed slightly.
Gui Lao's expression also changed suddenly. He didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.
"You don't need to worry too much. Since she has been fine for such a long time, it seems that the other party has other intentions than this."
Hua Qingwu was not a fool and had thought of this, but she still couldn't figure out what the other party was planning.
…
…
Late night falls.
Chu Xun set up a defensive array to wrap the entire room. He asked Hua Qingwu to stay and take care of her mother, while he and Gui Lao went to find the male toad.
The two drove out of Hua's house.
"Sir, where should I go?" asked the old ghost.
"Jiuyou, it's up to you."
Following Chu Xun's words, Jiuyou swam up to his shoulder, pointing his little head east.
Seeing Jiuyou, Gui Lao was obviously trembling with fear. This little snake was more terrifying than a nightmare.
"Keep going east." Chu Xun said. Jiuyou is a top-level monster with an innate sensitivity to spiritual objects. He can accurately sense the male toad's position.
The car drove eastward for about half an hour, and Jiuyou's head turned to the southeast. The car followed the direction indicated by Jiuyou.
Gui Lao's expression changed slightly. He looked at the buildings not far away and said in a deep voice, "Sir, this is the territory of the Yun family."
"The Yun family?" Chu Xun quickly reacted, "Is this the Yun family that Hua Qingwu wants to marry?"
Gui Lao nodded, "It seems that this matter was undoubtedly done by the Yun family."
At this moment, Jiuyou suddenly signaled the car to go straight to the south.
Gui Lao was startled and looked at Chu Xun. If he kept going south, he would avoid the Yun family. Does this matter have nothing to do with the Yun family
"Follow Jiuyou's prompts." Chu Xun said.
Gui Lao nodded and the car continued to drive. He was wondering, who could it be if it wasn't the Yun family
