Chapter 257: The Pushers of the Era (26)

~9 min read 1,717 words

Hua Changxi said she wouldn't open the secret realm in front of Gu Xing, although it was just a moment of angry words, she still felt uneasy. In her frustration, she stood at the gate of the old courtyard for a long time without moving.

Because the plaza had become larger, walking on two legs took too long. Now, people with a little bit of family wealth either stepped on flying swords to fly or sat on other spiritual artifacts to travel.

On the guardian family side, some people even rode spiritual pets directly across the plaza.

However, the vast majority of people still walked on their legs.

"Whoosh~"

Someone was flying on a sword, and because the speed was too fast, they almost knocked down others who were walking.

Looking at this scene, Hua Changxi frowned slightly, thinking of the Holy Pill she had obtained, as well as the one thousand Holy Protection Tokens inside the Holy Pill.

One thousand Holy Protection Tokens meant she could control one thousand Holy Protection Guards.

And these one thousand Holy Protection Guards were specifically for guarding the Cauldron Altar and the order of the plaza.

The Cauldron Altar was a place for sacrificing to heaven, sacred and solemn, so flying was prohibited on the plaza.

"Holy Protection Guards..."

Hua Changxi felt somewhat irritable. She felt that there were so many things waiting for her to deal with.

The matter of recruiting apprentices for the Danyuan Secret Realm had not progressed, and she had to consider maintaining the order of the plaza.

Recruiting Holy Protection Guards was even more troublesome than recruiting apprentices. It required going down to the Nine Nether and contacting the nine great passes and fortresses guarding the Demon Prison.

At the mere thought of these matters, Hua Changxi felt a massive headache, but there was a price for every gain; she had been just as happy about the increase in her cultivation speed as she was now depressed by being entangled in trivialities.

She just wanted to focus on cultivation and focus on refining pills. Why was it so difficult?

"Hall Master."

Hua Shuran and Hua Wanyue suddenly appeared and walked quickly to Hua Changxi's side.

Hua Changxi took back her thoughts and looked at the two: "What's the matter?"

Hua Shuran: "My father and Minghe Uncle have come. They want to see you."

Hua Changxi heard this, her heart moved slightly, and she probably guessed why they were looking for her: "Where are they?"

Hua Shuran: "They are in the No. 13 Qihuang Hall."

Hua Changxi nodded and left the plaza directly, and Hua Shuran and Hua Wanyue hurriedly followed.

In the main hall of the No. 13 Qihuang Hall, Hua Minghe and the Dingyuan Count's Mansion heir, Hua Minghua, were somewhat absent-minded, occasionally looking up at the courtyard gate.

Since the Imperial Family launched the order to boycott Hua Changxi, a month had passed. During this month, because Hua Changxi had not appeared, the Dingyuan Count's Mansion and the Hua family had been under no small pressure.

Today, Hua Minghua received news from his daughter Hua Shuran and knew that Hua Changxi had appeared, so he immediately found Hua Minghe and dragged him to the Medical Division.

It was somewhat inappropriate for them to come directly to the Medical Division to persuade Hua Changxi, but Hua Changxi's actions were too disorganized, and he was worried that she would play missing again, so he could only bring Hua Minghe to see Hua Changxi in a hurry.

"Father!"

As soon as Hua Changxi entered the main hall, she noticed that Hua Minghe was more haggard than before.

Seeing Hua Changxi return, Hua Minghe's face was happy: "Nine-Niang." He took two steps in three, walked quickly to Hua Changxi, and looked her up and down.

Seeing that his daughter was safe and sound, Hua Minghe breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he remember Hua Minghua on the side: "Nine-Niang, quickly meet the Heir."

Hua Changxi was about to speak, but was preempted by Hua Minghua: "What Heir, too distant. Minghe and I are brothers of the same generation, Nine-Niang, just call me Uncle."

Hua Changxi called out "Uncle" accordingly, turned to look at Hua Minghe: "Father, why are you so haggard? Has something happened at home?"

Hua Minghe didn't know how to answer and was silent for a while.

Today, Hua Minghua could no longer hold his status and sighed: "Nine-Niang, your father, as well as your Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle, are all idle at home now."

Hua Changxi played missing, and the Imperial Family directly took action against the Hua family, with the first to bear the brunt being the three brothers, Hua Minghe, who held positions in the government office.

During this period, even the Hua clan was more or less affected.

Hua Changxi was shocked: "Father, were you, Second Uncle, and Fourth Uncle dismissed?"

It was Hua Minghua who answered: "Not dismissed, the people above just let your father and the others rest at home for a period of time."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi knew that in order to force herself to compromise and bow, the Imperial Family had reached out to her family.

If she were willing to submit, her father and the others would soon be able to return to their respective government offices to work. If she were unwilling to submit, her father and the others would probably never want to go back.

Seeing Hua Changxi with a dark face and not saying a word, Hua Minghua had to give Hua Minghe a wink, asking him to persuade her quickly.

Seeing this, Hua Minghe sighed: "Nine-Niang, your secret realm can't recruit people. What are your plans?"

Hua Changxi looked at him: "Father, I can solve the matter of recruiting people in the secret realm myself. I don't believe that the Imperial Family and the nobles can stop the people of the world."

Hua Minghua felt his eyelids jump. Hua Changxi wanted to fight head-on with all parties.

Hua Changxi continued: "Father, you don't need to worry about me. As for the family... why don't you, Second Uncle, and Fourth Uncle stop working for the imperial court?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Hua Minghua could no longer hold back and said anxiously: "Nine-Niang, the people above letting your father and Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle be idle at home is giving you a step down."

"If you don't go down, they have more intense means later. Even if your father and the others don't work for the imperial court, they have ways to deal with you."

"Are you sure you want to go against the Imperial Family and the major nobles?"

"Do you know what this means? You are hitting a stone with an egg!"

"Even if you don't consider yourself, don't you think about the others in the family? Can they withstand the targeting of all parties?"

Hua Changxi listened, and murderous intent surged in her eyes: "Whoever dares to hurt my family, no matter who they are, I will return it tenfold!"

Hua Minghe and Hua Minghua were both startled.

Hua Minghe: "Nine-Niang, don't mess around."

Hua Minghua also hurriedly appeased: "Not to that extent, it hasn't reached that point yet."

Hua Changxi looked at the two: "The Danyuan Secret Realm was bestowed upon me by the Divine Wood. If anyone can come and intervene, then I would rather the secret realm never open."

Hua Minghua had a headache. He could see that Hua Changxi could not tolerate any coercion from outsiders. Although she was a young lady, this temper was even smellier and harder than the average man.

He just couldn't understand. Hua Bin's way of conducting himself was always to endure if he could, and Hua Minghe was slightly tougher, but he wouldn't fight head-on with people when he knew he couldn't win. How could they give birth to an alien like Hua Changxi who would fight to the death at every turn?

"Nine-Niang, Uncle feels that there are some things you haven't turned the corner on."

Hua Minghua said with patience: "You are now in the Medical Division. Uncle asks you, do you have any understanding of how the Medical Division operates?"

Hua Changxi looked over: "What exactly does Uncle want to say?"

Seeing that she finally listened a bit, Hua Minghua's brow finally relaxed a bit: "What I want to say is that whether it is the Medical Division or any other place, even at home, it involves the production and distribution of interests."

"What is your status now?"

"You are the Hall Master of the No. 13 Qihuang Hall, and the secret realm master of the Danyuan Secret Realm!"

"The Danyuan Secret Realm is fine, but the Qihuang Hall is still part of the Medical Division, which means you are still a person of the Medical Division."

"Since you are a person of the Medical Division, you must follow the rules of the Medical Division and participate in the distribution of interests in the Medical Division."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Hua Minghua could be considered to have clearly and clearly stated the essence of various interest transfers within the Medical Division. Seeing that Hua Changxi was still silent, he could only continue.

"Since you are a person of the Medical Division, in the eyes of the Imperial Family and others, the Danyuan Secret Realm in your hands is also a resource of the Medical Division, and everyone should get a share."

Hua Changxi was angered by this shameless crooked logic: "Uncle thinks the Danyuan Secret Realm in my hands is a resource of the Medical Division, then what about the other secret realm masters? Why don't they take out the resources of their secret realms for everyone to share?"

"Now all parties are eyeing me, just because they think I have no power and no influence, and I am the easiest to bully."

Hua Minghua said quietly: "How do you know that other secret realm masters haven't shared the resources in their secret realms with others?"

Hua Changxi did not speak.

Hua Minghua: "Nine-Niang, fighting alone cannot go far. You must learn to choose to cooperate with others, for yourself, and for your family." ===== CHAPTER 258 =====
