Chapter 79 - A sickly cousin in the care of others (5)

 

The more Ziyue spoke, the more he found that Huo Wei liked to listen to things in the Wulin. She was like a young girl and very curious about unknown things. As soon as he mentioned things in the Wulin, Huo Wei completely diverted her attention and stopped thinking about the sad things of Ziqian. This was a good sign. As the only person who could comfort her, he obviously felt that she was more dependent on him. So when he was free, he talked to her secretly and told her a lot of things outside.

 

Those things were just ordinary for him but important for Huo Wei to live in peace.

 

Today’s Wulin was divided into two major forces. One was the so-called righteous person led by Mo Zhipeng. As far as Huo Wei knew, the Mos were all despicable people, and no one helped the original host at the Wulin Dahui in the book. She was not interested in these “righteous people”, but a little expectant and curious about the demonic cult.

 

It was written in the book that after the main characters fell off the cliff, they hid their names, disguised themselves, and traveled in Wulin. They had contacted a lot from “demonic cult”, and made a lot of friends, getting a lot of help. Later, they came back with people to reveal the true face of Mo Zhipeng.

 

For them, Mo Zhipeng showed partiality to Ziqian and disliked him very much. Naturally, they were not in the same camp, but the evils to help them were their good friends. Not to mention the temperament of the main characters, just talking about what they had encountered and the people they had made friends with was enough to prove that good and bad could not be distinguished. And who divided the so-called justice and evil? It was just that different sects didn’t work together, so these sects with longer history had beaten them into the demon sect?

 

So, Huo Wei secretly led him to talk more about the demonic cult. The other great force in Jianghu was Tianji. In fact, they were also some sects with a long history, but most of them were emerging sects compared to other sects. The common features of these sects were that they acted in a flamboyant manner, did not pay attention to the etiquette and rules, acted extremely when taking revenge, did not forgive anyone, and were disliked by the famous sects. They were all referred to as the demonic cult.

 

The people of the demonic cult didn’t care about being called the demonic cult. They didn’t want to be with the decent sects with morality and benevolence. They were happy to be free as a demonic cult. Of course, there would definitely be scums among them, but this had nothing to do with justice or evil. In Huo Wei’s eyes, the Mos and the others were scums too, but they would hide, and those stupid scums would not hide. They were scums in essence. The decent sects would clean up the black sheep and the demons.

 

When Ziyue talked to Huo Wei, he was full of blame and disdain for the demonic cult, but she would naturally extract important information and wouldn’t be misled by him. The original host had lost his father five years ago, and that war had also caused the death of the leader of Tianji. Now, the one who was in power was the leader’s son, who was ruthless and intelligent.

 

In the past, Mo Zhipeng wanted to take advantage of the absence of the leader of the demonic cult to destroy them in one go, so that he could make a great contribution to be the leader of the Wulin and gain a good reputation. But he didn’t expect that the new leader of Tianji was good at using people and tricks. As soon as he got the position, he would integrate the rest of his strength to fight against justice. Mo Zhipeng’s attack not only didn’t destroy the demonic cult but also gave the new sect leader a catalyst, giving him a chance to draw the demonic cult together and fight against the enemy outside. In this way, the people in Tianji could convince and believed the new sect leader to be really led by him.

 

At that time, Mo Zhipeng was also injured, and the righteous also suffered a lot of losses. Seeing that they couldn’t take advantage, they had to retreat. Therefore, some people blamed him for being too radical and bringing him some trouble as the leader of the Wulin.

 

In the past five years, Mo Zhipeng had become the leader of the Wulin. He had gathered many sect leaders to work for him, and his reputation had become more and more famous. However, the new leader of the Tianji had gathered almost all the demonic sects. Those sects respected the new leader and even called him “leader”, bowing to him.

 

Even Mo Zhipeng was attracted by such a group of people, so he was very afraid of the leader of Tianji and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Unfortunately, every time the leader appeared, he was dressed in red and wearing a mask. No one knew what he looked like, and even no one knew his real name.

 

The old leader used to be the leader of all the demonic sects. He was the one that the righteous wanted to kill and had been assassinated countless times. That was why he protected his only son so well. Only those who trusted him knew his son’s identity. But he didn’t expect that the new sect leader still didn’t show his true face after he became the leader. He didn’t even know who he was when he met the people in Jianghu.

 

This kind of mystery made Huo Wei more interested. But at present, the most important thing for her was to keep her life. She would experience these wonderful stories in the future.

 

Huo Wei and Ziyue got closer and closer. She showed her dependence on him, which made him think that there was a great chance to get the Esotrecia. Sometimes when Liu Yulian complained about it in private, Zuyue would speak for her secretly, fearing that she would spoil his good plan. So Huo Wei successfully stabilized the Mos.

 

To let some people in Jinaghu who had come earlier know that they were good to her, the Mos members even liked to care about her in front of others these days. The quality of her life had been improved greatly, and she was nurtured with good food and medicine. Her whole face was a little better.

 

In this way, the Wulin Dahui arrived soon.

 

Important figures in Jianghu gathered together. Mo Zhipeng arranged a banquet for the Kungfu exchange to test the good talents of each sect who had just made a debut this year, and at the same time, give each sect a chance to show their strength and reputation. If any sect won first place in a few consecutive years, its status in Jianghu would be greatly promoted and it would be valued.

 

Huo Wei had shown her smile again recently. It seemed that she had completely forgotten about the dissolution of engagement. She greeted Ziqian and Rongrong politely without any hatred, which made the Mos and Lius feel that she was generous and completely relaxed their vigilance.

 

Mo Ziyue wanted to please her. so when Huo Wei said she wanted to watch the Wulin Dahui, he helped her.

 

She came to see the fun with others together.

 

Huo Wei, Mo Ziyue, and Ziqian stood behind Mo Zhipeng. After the competition began, Ziyue lowered his head and got closer to her. He said with concern, “blade and sword have no eyes. Although the rule is to compete on the stage, there will be accidents. Cousin, be careful. If anything happens, just hide behind me. “

 

Watching the fight on the stage, V didn’t even spare a glance at him. She nodded and said, “I see, brother.”

 

Ziyue was helpless, he could do nothing about it. He had to only show his brother’s concern for Huo Wei and said, “If you are tired, just tell me.”

 

Huo Wei heard his thinking, that he almost gave up the idea of proposing marriage.

 

Her single word “brother” fully showed her intention of only treating him as a family member. She always paid attention to prevent him from wanting to get married. Otherwise, she couldn’t figure out what she was talking about. Fortunately, the result was good.

 

These days, Ziyue cared about Huo Wei only in private. Now, he was protecting her in public, which attracted Mo Ziqian’s attention. Ziqian took two steps forward and whispered, “Brother, why do you care so much about Huo Wei? Do you still want to marry her? “

 

“She is our cousin. It’s my duty to take care of her,” said Ziyue with a gentle smile.

 

Ziqian was a little anxious, “Brother, you can’t marry her. She is in poor health. The Lius said that she would die soon. Besides, she is too weak and self-abased. How can she be your wife? “

 

Ziyue sighed and looked at him helplessly. “Ziqian, you broke my cousin’s heart. We should treat her better and don’t hate her. Otherwise, it will be bad for your reputation if others know it.”

 

This made Ziqian feel ashamed. It turned out that all his brother did was to clean up the mess for him, and he had been busy with flirting with Rongrong these days, and he didn’t expect to do anything to make up for it. His brother was so considerate.

 

Ziqian thanked him, and the latter took it gladly. He had always been like this, hypocritical.

 

Although Huo Wei couldn’t hear what the two of them were talking about, she could hear their hearts and guessed what they were talking about. She ignored him and stared at the stage without blinking. What a wonderful scene!

 

When she was an empress, she had learned Kungfu to go to the battlefield. But that was not the Kungfu of Wulin. Her Kungfu was only limited to modern self-defense skills, and there was no such magical cultivation method as Qinggong. And the Kungfu she used in the shooting was also with the help of a wire stunt. Now she actually saw someone fly up, jumping three meters, and even had Jianqi!

 

When a man stabbed his sword at his opponent, a wisp of hair near his opponent’s ear was cut off. His opponent dodged immediately and left a shallow scratch on his face with his backhand. It was so dangerous!

 

Another man lifted his hammer and punched his opponent on the back. His opponent’s face turned pale, but he turned his spear back. The head of the spear was only a little close to the man’s abdomen.

 

Huo Wei couldn’t help but scream out. This was her subconscious reaction because watching this battle, she really felt that they almost died!

 

Ziyue laughed and said to her, “Don’t be afraid, cousin. Everyone will stop before being hurt.”

 

“Like this?”Confused, Huo Wei’s eyes lit up. She must learn kung fu!

 

Ziyue knew that she was interested in Jianghu, so he came to ingratiate her. Every time someone came onto the stage, he would quietly explain to Huo Wei the Kungfu and combat experience that person had. He was like an excellent guide.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

 

With the explanation, Huo Wei looked much more relaxed. In the beginning, when she was surprised, she quickly remembered their moves and analyzed their main points of attack, defensive methods, and weaknesses from the explanation of Ziyue.

 

The weakness was very important. Every sect’s cultivation method was their own, and they all had their own strong points and weaknesses. If she could remember the weakness of each sect, she would have a higher chance of protecting herself in the future.

 

At the same time, Huo Wei began to listen to the hearts of everyone present. She needed to know who was Mo Zhipeng’s henchman here, who was dissatisfied with Mo Zhipeng, who was on good terms with her father, and who was in danger and in need of help.

 

Where there were people, there would be Jianghu. Using “Jianghu” as an example, meant that Jianghu could never be peaceful. Even if Mo Zhipeng was the leader of Wulin, there would be people who had conflicts with him and wanted to pull him down. In other words, his henchmen would also have enemies, and these people could stand on the opposite side of him, as long as they gave them a chance.

 

Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will always win.

 

The reason why Huo Wei had chosen this plot armor was that she wanted to know the current situation, analyze her own situation and use everything she could to protect herself.

 

Mo Ziyue pretended to care about her, but he didn’t notice that she was distracted at all. He thought she had been watching the competition excitedly, taking her as a curious little girl.

 

After half a day’s competition, Huo Wei had a general understanding of the Kungfu characteristics of each sect. At the same time, she found that there was a sect leader who was completely obedient to Mo Zhipeng’s orders, and the four sects were neutral, as long as their own interests were not violated.

 

The neutral sect used to have a good relationship with Huo Feng, but it was only in the past. No sooner has the person gone away than the tea cools down. In the past five years, they might be able to protect themselves, but in the critical moment, it was very likely that they would say something for her.

 

The remaining two sects were dissatisfied with Mo Zhipeng, Yueshan Pai, and Xiaguang Pai.

 

Yuanshan Pai had a high position in Jianghu. When Mo Zhipeng led his men to attack the Tianji and failed, it was the leader of Yueshan Pai who doubted his ability and refused him to be the leader. However, it was hard to fight alone. In the end, Mo Zhipeng succeeded in getting the position.

 

From his thinking, Huo Wei knew that he was aiming at the position of the leader of the Wulin. But he didn’t have a good chance, so he only focused on developing the sect for the time being and didn’t want to make trouble.

 

The Xiaguang Pai was Liu Yulain’s former sect, which was full of women. The current leader and Liu Yulian were sisters who had the same master. From the minds of Liu Yulian and her, Huo Wei found gossip that they both had a crush on Mo Zhipeng, and Mo Zhipeng was also want to marry a girl from Xiaguang Pai. It was Liu Yulian who made the sect leader break her promise and then she went on date with Mo Zhipeng.

 

At that time, Liu Yulian and Mo Zhipeng had been dealing with business in Jianghu by accident. After getting along with each other for a month, they had naturally fallen in love. When they met again, there was nothing about the leader of Xiaguang Pai.

 

The leader of Xiaguang Pai was so angry that she regarded Liu Yulian as her enemy. After Liu Yulian left the sect and got married, she tried many times to repair the relationship with the sect, but the leader of Xiaguang Pai ignored her. Every time they met, they ended up in discord and even she sneered at her. It was not until Liu Yulian became the leader’s husband that she felt better, but only on the surface. The Xiaguang Pai has still hated her and even hated Mo Zhipeng. Mo Zhipeng changed his mind so easily back then.

 

Huo Wei thought the two of them were useful, and there was another one. She remembered that one had come to Huo Feng for help, saying that his wife had been sick and had no money to cure her and that he had begged him for help. At that time, the original host happened to see him begging her father, so she was deeply impressed. At that time, Huo Feng agreed, but he died in less than two days. Naturally, this matter was left unsettled.

 

Huo Wei thought of this because the middle-aged man named Liao Hong looked very tired with grey hair. Huo Wei found that he was working for a henchman of Mo Zhipeng, the so-called “guest”. He did some hard but bad things to earn some money for his wife.

 

When everyone was competing, Liao Hong was still worried that the money for medicine was not enough, and he wondered if there was a chance to make money in the Wulin Dahui.

 

Huo Wei looked at him a few more times and remembered him. At the same time, she remembered several people who were also anxious or sad.

 

When the competition was over, it was time for the dinner party. The spacious hall and the courtyard outside were full of seats. The sect leaders and important disciples of various sects were in the hall, and the rest of the people were in the yard, very lively.

 

At this time, Huo Wei followed Liu Yulian. With so many people around, Liu Yulian deliberately wanted others to see how nice she was to her. After taking her seat, she always wore a kind smile on her face and held Huo Wei’s hand to introduce the people at the table to her.

 

There was a proper shyness on her face, but Huo Wei politely called them one by one. She didn’t look coward at all.

 

Someone asked in surprise, “Wow, is this the daughter left by Mr.Huo? She is grown up. “

 

“That’s right. Thanks to the master of the Lius, Wei was able to grow up. The leader of the Lius is Wei]’s benefactor. I have always taught her to repay the leader of the Liu s. ” Liu Yulian was afraid that Huo Wei would say something she shouldn’t, so she decided to take action first and mentioned the debt of gratitude that the Lius owed to Huo Wei.

 

Liu Yulian had mentioned it many times in the past few days. Every time Huo Wei lowered her head with a smile and didn’t refute. She thought it was the same this time. Then whatever Huo Wei said about Liu Rongrong, she would be ungrateful. In Jianghu, moral principles were the most important.

 

Then Mrs.Lin and Mrs.Li at the same table didn’t say anything either. After all, the better the reputation of the Lius was, the better it would be for them. Of course, they wouldn’t help Huo Wei.

 

But this time, Huo Wei said, “Auntie, in fact, I have always been confused about one thing. Today, there are so many seniors here. I want to know more about it. After all, they should still remember what happened a few years ago.”

 

“What’s the matter?”Liu Yulian asked casually with a loving smile on her face.

 

Confused, Huo Wei looked at the crowd and said in a soft voice, “Everyone knows that I was weak since I was born. My father looked for doctors everywhere for my health, and finally invited the master of the Lius to treat me. I am very grateful, and my father is also very grateful. I remember that my father happily told me that he was very grateful to the leader of the Liu clan. He gave the leader of the Lius 1000 taels of gold as the medical fee, and even the aunt who helped him to introduce me, my father also gave you 100 taels of gold as a reward. Is that true? “

 

Huo Wei’s eyes were full of curiosity as if she was really curious about what had happened in the past. However, the expressions of all the people at the table became subtle, and their eyes wandered between Liu Yulian and her sister-in-law.

 

The smile on Liu Yulian’s face froze. Eight years ago, when Huo Feng was the leader of the Wulin, he was very happy when he knew his daughter has a new life, and he was well paid. Everyone knew this truth and Liu Yulian could not lie. It was a matter of course for her to pay for the treatment. Who was her benefactor? What she said was just a joke.

 

If she still needed to repay Lius after paying 1000 taels of gold, who would dare to ask the master of the Lius to treat? It’s easy to give money to a doctor, but hard to return a favor! Even if Liu Yulian’s surname was Liu, she didn’t dare to set such a rule for the Lius. She didn’t dare to look at Mrs. Lin and Mrs.Li anymore.

 

Mrs. Li smiled and said, “Yes, that’s true. You have a good memory, Mrs.Mo. Although my brother had helped Miss Huo a lot, Mr. Huo’s medical fee is also very high. Mr.Huo really loved her.”

 

The wife of the sect leader of Yueshan Pai took a sip of tea with a smile and nodded, “Yes, it’s true.”

 

Liu Yulian couldn’t let Mrs. Li continue, which made the Lius lose face. She quickly smiled and said, “Mr. Huo only has one daughter, Wei. He loves Wei very much. Alas, it’s a pity that Mr. Huo left early.

Otherwise, he would treat Wei is as precious as a pearl. I don’t know how happy Wei will be now. “

 

Liu Yulian mentioned his death on purpose, trying to make Huo Wei feel sad. However, Huo Wei lowered her head and said, “Yes, if my father was still alive… Today, I saw uncle Liao at the Wulin Dahui. I remember him. He went to my home and asked my father for help before my father’s accident. I heard that my father promised to hire a famous doctor for him in two days and pay for his medical treatment. But in just two days, my father died, and I don’t know how is uncle Liao’s wife.

 

If anything happens to his wife because my father didn’t help him in time, then… “

 

Huo Wei pressed her eyes with a handkerchief. Everyone was touched by her expression. She was a kind girl. She still remembered what had happened in the past five years and was so worried. Liu Yulian didn’t know why she brought it up. She felt uneasy and couldn’t stop it.

 

“Who is uncle Liao? Maybe we know his recent situation. After so many years, maybe he has passed the crisis. “the wife of Yueshan Pai’s leader asked.

 

Huo Wei raised her head and said with red eyes, “It would be great if he could get through it. His name is Liao Hong. I saw him in the Tongshan Pai.”

 

“Liao Hong from the Tongshan Pai?” The wife of Yueshan Pai’s leader was stunned. She looked at a table in the yard and found Liao Hong happened to hear his name. Liao Hong stood up in confusion and waited for orders here. He looked old and tired, and it was obvious that he was having a hard time. Moreover, they all knew that this man worked for the Tongshan Pai. He was so fierce like he didn’t care about his life. He just wanted to earn some money to cure his wife. None of them had thought that Huo Feng would help him when he was alive.

 

Looking expectantly at the wife of Yueshan Pai’s leader, Huo Wei asked, “how is uncle Liao?”

 

The people at the same table looked at each other. Liu Yulian patted Huo Wei’s hand and said, “Everyone has his or her own fate. What happened in the past can only be said to be fate. Now he is a member of the Tongshan Pai, so he can naturally solve the problem.”

 

Looking at Liao Hong, Huo Wei said, “But he seems to be very tired and unhappy. Is… Is his wife still alive?”

 

She said the last sentence in a low voice. Everyone could feel that she was very careful, afraid of getting a bad answer as if she would blame herself and feel sad as long as Mrs. Liao was gone.

 

Mrs. Li comforted, “Miss Huo, don’t worry. His wife is still alive. I just heard that she is not in good health. They even came to the Lius to seek treatment… “

 

Mrs.Lin hurried to take over the words, “Our Liu family has always been taking the responsibility of curing people. If it can be saved, it’s easy to deal with the money. But Mrs. Liao’s illness needs extremely rare and expensive herbs, so she can’t be cured, so she can only slowly recuperate.”

 

She wanted to take this opportunity to clarify the self-contained of the Lius and remove the “misunderstandings” that had just been regarded as a benefactor. However, Huo Wei said, “Mrs.Liu, do you mean that as long as there are medicinal herbs, the leader of the Lius is willing to cure Mrs. Liao without a medical fee? The leader of the Lius is so kind! “

 

With admiration written all over her face, Mrs.Lin had no choice but to nod with a stiff face. Then Huo Wei took Liu Yulian’s hand and said, “Auntie, since my father promised when he was alive, I must fulfill this promise for him. Didn’t my father leave a lot of property? Just use those properties to help uncle Liao!
