Chapter 272 Everyone has their own thoughts
Hua Rouzhi felt dizzy and her throat was dry. To hide her embarrassment, she hurriedly picked up a cup of tea and drank it down before stammering,
“Gentleman Jia is as handsome as Pan An, which is also what I desire.”
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but who among those present wasn't a person with keen senses?
Hua Rouzhi's obvious sincerity made the Hua family couple overjoyed.
Even the elegant and noble woman felt helpless.
This youngest daughter is not meant to be kept at home.
She used to chase after Xu Mo, but now it seems that the kid has nothing to do with her anymore.
Hua Zongtang laughed dozens of times, his loud laughter reaching outside the living room, arousing the curiosity of many servants.
What's wrong with the head of the family? Why are you so happy?
After finishing his meal, Hua Zongtang said,
“Young Master Jia Si, let my daughter show you around the manor first. My wife and I will go and fetch the Blazing Fire Elixir. The process is a bit complicated, so please wait a moment.”
Jia Si cupped his hands in greeting, "Please, Master Hua."
Hua Zongtang nodded, exchanged a glance with his wife, and got up to leave his seat.
The real reason given was to obtain the Blazing Fire Elixir, but in reality, it was simply to create a private space for the two of them.
Seeing that her parents had left, Hua Rouzhi finally mustered up her courage, got up, and went to Jia Si's side.
"Young Master Jia Si, the jade cicada flowers in the garden are blooming beautifully. May I invite you to admire them with me?"
Jia seemed gentle, saying, "It is my good fortune."
accepted!
Hua Rouzhi quickly suppressed her excitement.
"plz follow me."
Jialuo helped Jiasi up, and the latter glanced at her almost imperceptibly.
She understood something and took a step back.
Jia Si and Hua Rouzhi walked side by side.
Passing through the banquet hall, you'll find the Hua family's back garden.
Just as Jialuo took a step, she was stopped by the other party's maid, who said with a smile, "Miss, it's better for us servants to wait outside."
Upon hearing this, Jialuo nodded.
It stood there and didn't move again.
When the two came out, the man's gaze towards the girl was noticeably gentler. The girl's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and she kept walking forward with her head down.
Judging from their appearance, it's hard to believe nothing has happened.
Just then, the head of the Hua family hurried over with the box, and upon seeing them, he feigned an apology.
"Young Master Jia Si, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
When Hua Rouzhi saw her father, she immediately ran behind him, shyly showing only half of her face.
Seeing this, Hua Zongtang was even more satisfied.
Jia seemed to cough lightly twice.
"No problem."
"Young Master Jiasi, how are you and my daughter getting along?"
Jia raised her eyes, a hint of a smile in them. "Miss Hua is intelligent and lovely; it's always a pleasure to be around her."
"Hahaha, as long as you're happy!"
He handed over the box.
"This is the Blazing Fire Elixir, please keep it safe."
Galo readily accepted the storage bag with both hands and then handed it to the maid beside her.
Hua Zongtang quickly stopped him.
"No need for spirit stones! Although the Blazing Fire Elixir is precious, it should be left in the hands of someone who can use it. Since Young Master Jia needs it, I will give it to you as a token of friendship."
Jia Si did not refuse, "Then thank you very much, Patriarch Hua."
Remembering something, he smiled and said, "There's a singing competition at the moat tomorrow. I wonder if Miss Hua..."
Song party?
Hua Rouzhi's eyes lit up. She was about to agree, but then hesitated and looked at her father. The expectation in his eyes made it impossible for Hua Zongtang to refuse. He said helplessly,
"Rouzhi, Young Master Jiasi is asking you a question."
Hua Rouzhi then nodded demurely, "If you don't mind, young master, I'm certainly willing."
What should I wear to the concert?
Upon hearing this, Jia Si laughed.
"I will pick up Miss Hua tomorrow night."
The girl nodded.
Jia Si looked at Hua Zongtang and said, "Then I will go back first today. After I have refined and taken the Blazing Fire Elixir, I will come to your door to express my gratitude."
Hua Zongtang: "Health is important, there's no rush."
After seeing the person off, Hua Zongtang's smile widened, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his cloudy eyes. "Rouzhi, don't miss such a good opportunity."
Hua Rouzhi stared blankly in the direction Jia Si had left until her father's voice came, at which point she stopped.
"I understand, Father."
Hua Zongtang, recalling her past foolishness, couldn't help but remind her, "You should know who to choose between the Xu family boy and Young Master Gal."
The girl smiled, "Father, your daughter knows what's important."
In the heavy rain, the carriage headed toward Xuanhe Street.
Inside the carriage, Jia looked at the open box with an inscrutable expression.
Galo asked, "What's wrong?"
Jia sneered.
"The head of the family is indeed not easy to fool, but he's too green to play with poison in front of me."
Galo looked at the box in his hand.
"What poison?"
The man's pale fingers picked up the fiery red elixir, and he said casually, "A little poison, nothing to worry about."
"Time is running out, we need to hurry."
"Ah."
Upon returning to Qiufeng Garden, Jia seemed to sense an extra presence inside.
He turned his head and immediately knelt on one knee, saying respectfully,
"Envoy Lou."
A woman dressed in black sat in the main seat; her deep blue eyes were devoid of any emotion.
"how's it going?"
As if extending his hand, the black seven-star cone floated silently, four of which were already flashing red light.
"Most of it is done, just waiting for the college competition to begin."
Lou Miao narrowed her eyes, "Speed up!"
"If it succeeds, the Ghost Realm will no longer have to cower in that barbarian land, nor will it have to live at the mercy of the major holy lands..."
"Our return to the mainland is just around the corner!"
