Chapter 80 - A sickly cousin in the care of others (6)
Huo Wei was so excited that she raised her voice. All the people present knew Kung Fu and had heard her words – to help others with the property left by her father.
The Huos’ property and the former leader’s property? How much money should they have?
Liao Hong was even more excited. He stepped forward in disbelief, stared at Huo Wei, and asked, “Miss Huo! Are you serious? Are you willing to save my wife? Really? “
His eyes were filled with tears, and his hands were trembling with excitement. Huo Wei’s eyes turned red again. She nodded hard, stood up, and walked to Liao Hong, attracting more attention. “Uncle Liao, my father has promised you, of course, I will help you. I’m sorry. I only saw you go to see my father, but I didn’t know he had any time to help you. I didn’t think of it until today when I saw you having a bad time. I’m sorry, your wife should have been cured five years ago… “
Liao Hong hurriedly waved his hand and said, “No, no, no, Miss Huo. Back then, no one would forecast Master Huo was in an accident. This was probably my fate. Fortunately, I met you today. You are really a kind and living Bodhisattva. I, I kneel down for you! Miss Huo, please accept my respect! “
Liao Hong didn’t know how to thank him. He knelt down on the ground and was about to kowtow to Huo Wei. Huo Wei bent down to stop him, but she was too weak to support a man. It was the sect leader of Yueshan Pai who supported Liao Hong and stopped him.
“Liao Hong, Miss Huo is still young. She doesn’t want to be treated like this. Get up and have a talk.”After that, the leader of Yueshan Pai prised, “Miss Huo, you’re a kind-hearted girl. If master Huo were alive, he would be glad.”
Huo Wei shook her head, “I just do what I should do.”Then she turned to look at Liu Yulian and asked expectantly, “Aunt, is that okay?”
Fearing that Liu Yulian might make a mistake, Mo Zhipeng smiled and said, “Why not? But Wei, all the things your father left are for you as dowry. Don’t worry about bro. Liao. I will help him do it. “
Liao Hong thanked Mo Zhipeng sincerely, wiped his tears, and said, “I don’t deserve it? I really don’t know how to thank you for being able to get the help of two leaders. “
Huo Wei was disappointed and said softly, “I’m afraid I don’t need the dowry. Please don’t compete with the younger generation this time, leader? Just take it as… my prayers for my father. I want to fulfill his last wish, and I also want to help him accumulate more virtues. In this way, my father can have a good place to be reincarnated. “
She smiled and looked at everyone, “Today is the first time I see you after my father’s death. I don’t know if I have the chance to see you in the future, so I want to take this opportunity to donate all the property my father left to me to help those who are in trouble temporarily.
In the past few days, I saw that a senior came to the leader of the Lius for medical treatment. I happened to see that this old man and this elder sister lacked medical treatment. I have nothing to help, so I’ll pay for it.
And just now, I heard from an old woman that there was a flood at the foot of her sect. There are a lot of victims here. She said that she needed to help them when she came back. I also came up with an idea. I don’t have anything else, so I want to donate the property left by my father.
I’ve never been to Jianghu before, but I know that many people have encountered many difficulties. My father has always taught me to be a warrior and do more charity when he was alive. Today, I also want to inherit my father’s will, so I’ll use these treasures. I hope you don’t think I’m filthy rich. This is all I have now. “
Huo Wei pointed at a few people who were in urgent need of help and said a lot, but no one interrupted her. Because everyone was shocked, including Mo Zhipeng, the sect leader of Yueshan Pai, and the others. Who would be so kind as to donate all the property? no one!
The sect leader of Xiaguang Pai was shocked and then persuaded, “Miss Huo, you are still young and need a lot of medicine to recuperate. You still have a lot of money in the future. Don’t be so impulsive.” She smiled and said, “It’s good that you have this intention. Why don’t you just take out a part to do charity? You can help others you meet in the future. “
She was kind enough to remind Huo Wei of her future life, which was reasonable. Many people nodded in agreement. Huo Weismiled and shook her head.
She said, “I’m afraid I won’t live long. I’d rather donate it today when everyone is here.”
Liu Yulian’s face changed, “Wei! Don’t talk nonsense! “
Liu Yulian said in a stern tone. She had a hunch that the Huo Wei meant that Mos was going to kill her.
Trembling with fear, Huo Wei stood straight and explained, “Auntie, don’t be angry. It’s my fault. I’m not cursing myself. I really don’t think I’m in good health. I’m afraid I won’t live long. A few days ago, Mr. Liu treated me and thought I was not in good health. “
The sect leader of Xiaguang Pai glanced at Liu Yulian in disgust and said coldly, “Why did Mrs. Mo scold Miss Huo so harshly? You scared Miss Huo. “
Liu Yulian had just breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was brought up by her words. She said helplessly, “This child is always so pessimistic. I don’t want her to say so.”
Liu Yulian seemed to be worried about Huo Wei. But from the minds of some people present, Huo Wei knew that they didn’t like Liu Yulian’s attitude. She had said that the Lius was her benefactor, but now she scolded her, which made her shiver. They wondered if she had always treated Huo Wei like this?
At this time, Huo Wei smiled and said, “I know aunt cares about me, but my body can’t be saved. Thank you for your concern. But I can’t be cured, so I don’t need any expensive herbs.
Only in recent days, the prescription Mr. Liu prescribed for me is a little expensive, but it doesn’t work. I’d better use the previous prescription. The medicinal materials are all very ordinary. They only use dozens of copper plates a day. It’s not expensive. A little silver will be enough for me. “
A small number of people looked at Liu Yulian and Mo Zhipeng for the first time. Of course, most of them paid attention to the faces of the couple of the leaders of Wulin and restrained themselves from looking at them, but they were all surprised. In the past few years, Huo Wei had only taken dozens of copper coins every day??? What did the Mos mean? Did they think that she wouldn’t live long so didn’t give her good medicine?
At this sensitive moment when Huo Wei mentioned the property, everyone suddenly thought of one thing – the Huos’ property… Was it swallowed by the Mos?!
However, Mo Zhipeng seized the loophole in her words and sighed, “yes, Huo Wei’s body is really helpless. This time, Mr. Liu has used good medicine to recuperate, but it doesn’t look good. If she wants to become better, she can only use effective medicine, with will hurt her. It’s good for her health to only conditioning. “
Liu Rongrong echoed, “That’s right. Sometimes expensive herbs will make the patient feel weak and unable to replenish, which is not good for his health. Miss Huo, you really don’t need much medicine now.” She didn’t care what Huo Wei was up to. After all, Huo Wei had donated all the money she wanted to use. She was happy to help the Mos to prove that Huo Wei couldn’t use the money.
Many people nodded with understanding. However, Huo Wei had dug a series of traps today, but they couldn’t jump out.
“So you know why I donated all my money. I won’t need anything in the future. In order not to cause any trouble to the leader of the Wulin, I will only leave one hundred taels of silver.”
Her words reminded everyone why she didn’t need dowry? Was it really because she was not in good health? But wasn’t she the daughter-in-law of the Mos?
The wife of the Yueshan Pai asked, “If my memory serves me right, Miss Huo is engaged to the son of Mr.Mo. Although your two families are as close as each other, you still have to be polite when you get married. Bride price and dowry are indispensable… “
Both the Mos and the Lius wanted to explain first, but before the wife of Yueshan Pai could finish her words, Huo Wei interrupted her and waved her hand anxiously. “No engagement. I and my second cousin… We are just brother and sister. There is no engagement.”
“What?” Everyone looked at Mo Zhipeng and Liu Yulian.
Liu Yulian tried her best to maintain a dignified smile and said regretfully, “I wanted my children to get married, but unfortunately, they didn’t fall in love and to get along with each other like brother and sister. As the elders, we can’t make decisions by ourselves, so I raised Wei as a daughter.”
Huo Wei nodded and said, “Yes, I treat my two cousins as my brothers. There is no love between us. Please don’t misunderstand me. My second cousin and Miss Liu are a perfect match.”
Liu Yulian almost pulled a long face, and so did Liu Rongrong and Mrs.Liu. Huo Wei must have done it on purpose! She mentioned it on purpose!
But in the eyes of others, Huo Wei didn’t do it on purpose. She was just a little girl explaining that she didn’t have a relationship with her cousin. She hoped that everyone wouldn’t misunderstand and hurt the relationship between Ziqian and Liu Rongrong.
It was also because of this that she felt strange to see MoZiqian and Liu Rongrong instead of being shy. On second thought, why did Huo Wei say that she was not engaged to her second cousin when she talked about the engagement? Why didn’t she mention Mo Ziyue?
It was not until a while later that Huo Wei said that she had no feelings for any man or woman with her two cousins. But when it came to engagement before, there must be something wrong with her subconscious reaction. It was very likely that… Huo Wei was engaged to Ziqian! Then what happened to Ziqian and Liu Rongrong? There must be something wrong. Otherwise, Ziqian and Liu Rongrng wouldn’t refuse to mention it. Looking carefully, the parents of the two of them didn’t seem to want to mention it either. None of them was happy. It was impossible that they didn’t agree, right? They came from a family of equal social rank.
The sect leader of Xiaoguang Pai had always disliked Liu Yulian. Seeing this, she sneered, “Did I make a mistake? How do I remember that the marriage I made for Miss Huo was with Mo Ziqian? “
Perhaps only she dared to say that, and it was a lie. The Mos had never said it in public. But the Mos did not hide it from them on purpose. In the past five years, they could recall if they had told anyone about it. They really could not remember and could not be sure that no one knew it.
Huo Wei said that on purposes. That was why the sect leader of Xiaguang Pai asked. In terms of controlling people’s minds, no one present could compare with Huo Wei. Besides, she could hear their minds. Of course, she only heard the minds of a few important people and experienced people, so she could accurately know what they wanted to say. She could make the best use of their selfish motives to achieve her goal.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
Liu Yulian summoned up her courage to accept the fact and said helplessly, “I did mean it at that time. I always said that I wanted the two of them to be engaged. I thought that they were about the same age and they should be able to go together. But I didn’t expect that the two kids didn’t like it, so I let it go. “
As soon as she said that, no one would care about it. After all, everyone had to be polite. But through the conversation just now, and the change of their expression, everyone has a scale in their hearts, and they have some opinions on the Mos’ affairs. After all, the four words “义薄云天”(one’s high morality reaching up to the clouds) of the Mos were greatly reduced, and even the Lius was involved, leaving an “unkind” impression on everyone.
The wife of the leader of Yueshan Pai had already guessed that the Mos didn’t treat her well. Since Huo Wei thought she couldn’t spend much money, she guessed that the Mos must be so mean to her and her money was swallowed up by the Mos.
The sect leader of Yueshan Pai had been staring at the position of the leader of Wulin for a long time. Although there was no chance to seize it. As long as something bad happened to Mos, it was good for him.
Therefore, his wife brought the topic back along with Liu Yulian’s words. “Miss Huo is a kind and good girl. If I were you, I would treat her as my daughter. No wonder the leader and his wife love her so much. Today, Miss Huo has donated all the heritage left by Mrs.Huo. I really admire you. Let me propose a toast to you! Miss Huo, drink some tea instead of wine. “
The sect leader of Yueshan Pai picked up his cup and drank it up. Seeing this, the others all raised their glasses and toasted to Huo Wei. As the leader of Wulin, of course, Mo Zhipeng stood out and said that he would record the people in need of help in Jianghu and open a treasury to donate the treasures.
Many people were standing in front of Liu Yulian and praising Huo Wei. Even though her heart was bleeding, Liu Yulian could only smile with pride. When Ziqian and Liu Rongrong lowered their heads to eat, they could feel that someone was looking at them from time to time, especially people of their age who liked gossiping the most. They’d better find out what was going on with them. Seeing them like sitting on pins and needles, they hated Huo Wei very much.
Huo Wei had been chatting with everyone with a smile. From time to time, she made some mistakes in etiquette and showed her ignorance of something, which made everyone have a deeper understanding of the Mos’ upbringing. The Mos didn’t teach her anything at all! Mos was good at Kungfu, Guqin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but Huo Wei couldn’t do anything. She was just good at reading, kind, and obedient. What did Mos mean? To gain fame?
Liu Yulian was cursing Huo Wei in her heart, and even Mo Zhipeng was a little angry with her. Huo Wei was in a good mood while eating. Just scold her. There were still many chances to scold her in the future. This was just the beginning.
At this time, she heard what Mo Ziyue thought. He doubted her and wondered if she wanted to embarrass the Mos on purpose to revenge Ziqian’s betrayal. Although he wanted to suppress Ziqian, he couldn’t do this to damage the reputation of the Mos. It seemed that he had to get the esoterica as soon as possible.
He reminded Huo Wei. After thinking over the plan again, Huo Wei felt that it was no problem, so she stood up with a teacup and walked towards Mo Zhipeng.
Everyone looked at her again and spoke in a much lower voice. It was because she had a strong sense of existence before that everyone felt that she should probably thank Mo Zhipeng for his adoption at this time. Many people had suspected that the Mos was bad to her. Did she find it herself? Should she thank Mo Zhipeng?
Mo Zhipeng’s heart sank. He didn’t want Huo Wei to say anything more. But he had to smile gently like a loving elder and asked, “Wei, do you have something to say?”
Huo Wei nodded and raised her teacup. “In the past five years, the leader of Wulin has protected me. I really don’t know how to repay you. Sometimes I can’t fall asleep at night. I’m afraid that I will be too ungrateful to pay you back. If I don’t pay you back on the day of my death, I won’t be able to see my father even if I go underground. “
It was not good to say that she wouldn’t die at such a banquet, but what Huo Wei said was right and sincere, making everyone think that she was really afraid that she couldn’t repay the Mos. But at the same time, they all thought of the fact that Liu Yulian mentioned at the opening that the master of the Lius was the benefactor of Huo Wei.
Was it because Liu Yulian liked to talk about these things that made her so stressed? Huo Wei was afraid that she would die before she could repay him?
Mo Zhipeng also thought of this and said disapprovingly, “What are you thinking about? You are just too sensitive. I am your uncle. What’s wrong with taking care of yourself? All these years, I have treated you as my daughter. Although I am usually busy and have no chance to care about you, you are just like my daughter in my uncle’s heart. Don’t mention anything ungrateful. “
Mo Zhipeng wanted to confirm what he had said to her before and guide everyone to believe that Ziqian and Huo Wei were not engaged. However, Huo Wei didn’t listen to him. She shook her head and said, “I’m the daughter of the Huos. I’m my father’s daughter. My father taught me to pay for what I’ve done. I won’t forget it.”
What his father taught was, of course, more important. Mo Zhipeng’s words suddenly became unimportant.
“Leader, I said I wanted to leave the Mos and go back to the Huos a few days ago. It’s true. I’m not young anymore. I can take care of myself. I want to go back to guard my parents’ Lingwei(灵位 temporary memorial tablet) and pray for them. I can’t do this in Mo’s mansion. I don’t know how long I can live. Please help me.
You don’t have to worry about me. Today I have met so many elders, brothers, and sisters. I know that everyone is very good. Even if I live in the Huos alone, I’m not afraid. I believe that everyone will help me when I am in trouble. “
The crowd naturally said that they would help her. Someone said, “It’s really not appropriate to pray at other people’s homes if you are guarding the Lingwei.”
Someone said, “the Huos’ mansion seems to be occupied. I’ll get the deeds for the land back for you later.”
Someone else said, “Alas! Leader, Please help Miss Huo. She is filial. Why don’t you send some people to take care of Miss Huo? All of us will help. Miss Huo, you are so kind-hearted. Anyone who dares to touch you will become an enemy of the entire Wulin! “
What could Mo Zhipeng say? Was he reluctant to part with her and didn’t want her to be filial? The prayer for the dead was also very important. It would be too strange for him to let Huo Wei pray to her parents at Mo’s mansion. So he had to agree.
Mo Ziyue was getting more and more anxious. He wanted to say something, but Huo Wei said first, “Thank you, leader. There are so many people here this time. They must be in the same way as me. I’ll go with him.”With so many people around, no one could easily kill her. She raised her glass again and said, “I propose a toast to you with tea. I have a treasure of the Huos. Today, I’ll give it to you to repay you for taking care of me for five years!”
Huo Wei drank up the tea.
She took out the fake esoterica she had made and presented it to Mo Zhipeng.
When the people at the table saw clearly what it was, they were short of breath for a moment. They tried their best to restrain themselves and could not help but look at it. Someone next to him exclaimed, “The Yuyang swordsmanship? Is it master Huo’s unique swordsmanship? “
Huo Wei nodded solemnly. “It’s my father’s unique skill. When I was ten years old, my father passed on this book to me, hoping that I can inherit it in the future. But I don’t have anything to repay you. Today, I’ll use this book as my reward, “
Mo Zhipeng held back his anger and frowned, “No. Wei, take it back… “
“No! Please accept it. Otherwise, I will be unable to fall asleep every night in the future because of this favor. I wonder if I still have the chance to meet you this time. Leader, please let me go in peace! “She acted as if she was really returning his favor with all her heart. Everyone was jealous of Mo Zhipeng, but at the same time, they all regretted it deeply. Why hadn’t they thought of adopting Huo Wei? How profound was the Yuyang Swordsmanship? It was this Swordsmanship that made Huo Feng the leader of Wulin!
But no matter how greedy they were, it was useless. They had to help persuade Mo Zhipeng to take it. Mo Zhipeng took it reluctantly and told Huo Wei to come to Mos in the future. The kindness of the Mos to take care of Huo Wei was all that’s past and done. From any point of view, Huo Wei didn’t owe the Mo family anything.
The banquet was lively again. Except for the Mosy and the Lius, the other people’s biggest sign today was that Huo Wei was really a good girl!
Huo Wei was kind-hearted and generous. She donated all her property to help the people of the Wulin and presented her family esoterica to repay Mos’ kindness. She didn’t discredit herself as the leader of the Huos. Everyone she had helped would be grateful to her. What she had done would make many people admire her. She would soon become famous in Jianghu and everyone would know her.
She used to be the only daughter of the former leader, but no one cared about her. For so many years, she had no sense of existence in the Wulin and had almost been forgotten. The only role she played was to make Mos have a favorable impression on her and to make people praise Mos for taking care of the lonely daughter of the former leader. But when people mentioned her, she had no other impression except being sick.
But after today, Huo Wei left her name in Jianghu. She was the daughter of Huo Feng, the leader of the Huos. Although she didn’t know any Kungfu, everyone in this Wulin knew her. And things about her would never be silent again.

Huo Wei was so excited that she raised her voice. All the people present knew Kung Fu and had heard her words – to help others with the property left by her father.
The Huos’ property and the former leader’s property? How much money should they have?
Liao Hong was even more excited. He stepped forward in disbelief, stared at Huo Wei, and asked, “Miss Huo! Are you serious? Are you willing to save my wife? Really? “

Besides, she could hear their minds. Of course, she only heard the minds of a few important people and experienced people, so she could accurately know what they wanted to say. She could make the best use of their selfish motives to achieve her goal.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
Liu Yulian summoned up her courage to accept the fact and said helplessly, “I did mean it at that time. I always said that I wanted the two of them to be engaged. I thought that they were about the same age and they should be able to go together. But I didn’t expect that the two kids didn’t like it, so I let it go. “
As soon as she said that, no one would care about it. After all, everyone had to be polite. But through the conversation just now, and the change of their expression, everyone has a scale in their hearts, and they have some opinions on the Mos’ affairs. After all, the four words “义薄云天”(one’s high morality reaching up to the clouds) of the Mos were greatly reduced, and even the Lius was involved, leaving an “unkind” impression on everyone.
The wife of the leader of Yueshan Pai had already guessed that the Mos didn’t treat her well. Since Huo Wei thought she couldn’t spend much money, she guessed that the Mos must be so mean to her and her money was swallowed up by the Mos.
The sect leader of Yueshan Pai had been staring at the position of the leader of Wulin for a long time. Although there was no chance to seize it. As long as something bad happened to Mos, it was good for him.
Therefore, his wife brought the topic back along with Liu Yulian’s words. “Miss Huo is a kind and good girl. If I were you, I would treat her as my daughter. No wonder the leader and his wife love her so much. Today, Miss Huo has donated all the heritage left by Mrs.Huo. I really admire you. Let me propose a toast to you! Miss Huo, drink some tea instead of wine. “
The sect leader of Yueshan Pai picked up his cup and drank it up. Seeing this, the others all raised their glasses and toasted to Huo Wei. As the leader of Wulin, of course, Mo Zhipeng stood out and said that he would record the people in need of help in Jianghu and open a treasury to donate the treasures.
Many people were standing in front of Liu Yulian and praising Huo Wei. Even though her heart was bleeding, Liu Yulian could only smile with pride. When Ziqian and Liu Rongrong lowered their heads to eat, they could feel that someone was looking at them from time to time, especially people of their age who liked gossiping the most. They’d better find out what was going on with them. Seeing them like sitting on pins and needles, they hated Huo Wei very much.
Huo Wei had been chatting with everyone with a smile. From time to time, she made some mistakes in etiquette and showed her ignorance of something, which made everyone have a deeper understanding of the Mos’ upbringing. The Mos didn’t teach her anything at all! Mos was good at Kungfu, Guqin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but Huo Wei couldn’t do anything. She was just good at reading, kind, and obedient. What did Mos mean? To gain fame?
Liu Yulian was cursing Huo Wei in her heart, and even Mo Zhipeng was a little angry with her. Huo Wei was in a good mood while eating. Just scold her. There were still many chances to scold her in the future. This was just the beginning.
At this time, she heard what Mo Ziyue thought. He doubted her and wondered if she wanted to embarrass the Mos on purpose to revenge Ziqian’s betrayal. Although he wanted to suppress Ziqian, he couldn’t do this to damage the reputation of the Mos. It seemed that he had to get the esoterica as soon as possible.
He reminded Huo Wei. After thinking over the plan again, Huo Wei felt that it was no problem, so she stood up with a teacup and walked towards Mo Zhipeng.
Everyone looked at her again and spoke in a much lower voice. It was because she had a strong sense of existence before that everyone felt that she should probably thank Mo Zhipeng for his adoption at this time. Many people had suspected that the Mos was bad to her. Did she find it herself? Should she thank Mo Zhipeng?
Mo Zhipeng’s heart sank. He didn’t want Huo Wei to say anything more. But he had to smile gently like a loving elder and asked, “Wei, do you have something to say?”
Huo Wei nodded and raised her teacup. “In the past five years, the leader of Wulin has protected me. I really don’t know how to repay you. Sometimes I can’t fall asleep at night. I’m afraid that I will be too ungrateful to pay you back. If I don’t pay you back on the day of my death, I won’t be able to see my father even if I go underground. “
It was not good to say that she wouldn’t die at such a banquet, but what Huo Wei said was right and sincere, making everyone think that she was really afraid that she couldn’t repay the Mos. But at the same time, they all thought of the fact that Liu Yulian mentioned at the opening that the master of the Lius was the benefactor of Huo Wei.
Was it because Liu Yulian liked to talk about these things that made her so stressed? Huo Wei was afraid that she would die before she could repay him?
Mo Zhipeng also thought of this and said disapprovingly, “What are you thinking about? You are just too sensitive. I am your uncle. What’s wrong with taking care of yourself? All these years, I have treated you as my daughter. Although I am usually busy and have no chance to care about you, you are just like my daughter in my uncle’s heart. Don’t mention anything ungrateful. “
Mo Zhipeng wanted to confirm what he had said to her before and guide everyone to believe that Ziqian and Huo Wei were not engaged. However, Huo Wei didn’t listen to him. She shook her head and said, “I’m the daughter of the Huos. I’m my father’s daughter. My father taught me to pay for what I’ve done. I won’t forget it.”
What his father taught was, of course, more important. Mo Zhipeng’s words suddenly became unimportant.
“Leader, I said I wanted to leave the Mos and go back to the Huos a few days ago. It’s true. I’m not young anymore. I can take care of myself. I want to go back to guard my parents’ Lingwei(灵位 temporary memorial tablet) and pray for them. I can’t do this in Mo’s mansion. I don’t know how long I can live. Please help me.
You don’t have to worry about me. Today I have met so many elders, brothers, and sisters. I know that everyone is very good. Even if I live in the Huos alone, I’m not afraid. I believe that everyone will help me when I am in trouble. “
The crowd naturally said that they would help her. Someone said, “It’s really not appropriate to pray at other people’s homes if you are guarding the Lingwei.”
Someone said, “the Huos’ mansion seems to be occupied. I’ll get the deeds for the land back for you later.”
Someone else said, “Alas! Leader, Please help Miss Huo. She is filial. Why don’t you send some people to take care of Miss Huo? All of us will help. Miss Huo, you are so kind-hearted. Anyone who dares to touch you will become an enemy of the entire Wulin! “
What could Mo Zhipeng say? Was he reluctant to part with her and didn’t want her to be filial? The prayer for the dead was also very important. It would be too strange for him to let Huo Wei pray to her parents at Mo’s mansion. So he had to agree.
Mo Ziyue was getting more and more anxious. He wanted to say something, but Huo Wei said first, “Thank you, leader. There are so many people here this time. They must be in the same way as me. I’ll go with him.”With so many people around, no one could easily kill her. She raised her glass again and said, “I propose a toast to you with tea. I have a treasure of the Huos. Today, I’ll give it to you to repay you for taking care of me for five years!”
Huo Wei drank up the tea.
She took out the fake esoterica she had made and presented it to Mo Zhipeng.
When the people at the table saw clearly what it was, they were short of breath for a moment. They tried their best to restrain themselves and could not help but look at it. Someone next to him exclaimed, “The Yuyang swordsmanship? Is it master Huo’s unique swordsmanship? “
Huo Wei nodded solemnly. “It’s my father’s unique skill. When I was ten years old, my father passed on this book to me, hoping that I can inherit it in the future. But I don’t have anything to repay you. Today, I’ll use this book as my reward, “
Mo Zhipeng held back his anger and frowned, “No. Wei, take it back… “
“No! Please accept it. Otherwise, I will be unable to fall asleep every night in the future because of this favor. I wonder if I still have the chance to meet you this time. Leader, please let me go in peace! “She acted as if she was really returning his favor with all her heart. Everyone was jealous of Mo Zhipeng, but at the same time, they all regretted it deeply. Why hadn’t they thought of adopting Huo Wei? How profound was the Yuyang Swordsmanship? It was this Swordsmanship that made Huo Feng the leader of Wulin!
But no matter how greedy they were, it was useless. They had to help persuade Mo Zhipeng to take it. Mo Zhipeng took it reluctantly and told Huo Wei to come to Mos in the future. The kindness of the Mos to take care of Huo Wei was all that’s past and done. From any point of view, Huo Wei didn’t owe the Mo family anything.
The banquet was lively again. Except for the Mosy and the Lius, the other people’s biggest sign today was that Huo Wei was really a good girl!
Huo Wei was kind-hearted and generous. She donated all her property to help the people of the Wulin and presented her family esoterica to repay Mos’ kindness. She didn’t discredit herself as the leader of the Huos. Everyone she had helped would be grateful to her. What she had done would make many people admire her. She would soon become famous in Jianghu and everyone would know her.
She used to be the only daughter of the former leader, but no one cared about her. For so many years, she had no sense of existence in the Wulin and had almost been forgotten. The only role she played was to make Mos have a favorable impression on her and to make people praise Mos for taking care of the lonely daughter of the former leader. But when people mentioned her, she had no other impression except being sick.
But after today, Huo Wei left her name in Jianghu. She was the daughter of Huo Feng, the leader of the Huos. Although she didn’t know any Kungfu, everyone in this Wulin knew her. And things about her would never be silent again.
