Chapter 363: Hua family enters Xuanyuan Prefecture

After Hua Changxi flew away from the Xuanyuan Prefecture for a distance, her mood had not yet improved.

Another person said she was heartless!

She couldn't understand, how was she heartless? Is it heartless not to be tied to her family?

Hua Changxi felt that whether it was Jing Le or Qin Feng, they had almost harsh requirements for "the strong." In their view, the strong should unconditionally help "the weak." Otherwise, it is heartless.

"Sigh~"

Hua Changxi discovered that even now that spiritual energy has recovered, she is still very out of place with the people of this world.

"Different views, no need to force integration."

Hua Changxi could only comfort herself like this, threw Qin Feng's words out of her mind, and after taking a deep breath, flew quickly towards the capital.

At the same time, Count Dingyuan's Prefecture.

The Hua family gathered in the guest courtyard, and Hua Dalang and Hua Liulang were also accompanying their family here these two days.

The second uncle of the Hua family walked back and forth in the living room with dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with Jiuniang? She went to the Duke of Liang's Prefecture and disappeared, and didn't even say to come to the Count's Prefecture to see us?"

Hua Liulang: "Jiuniang should have other urgent matters to deal with."

The second uncle of the Hua family: "She is busy, she is really busy. Our whole family is not as important as the things in her hands." He glanced at Hua Minghe and Yao Shi, "She ignores us, but she doesn't even care about the parents who gave birth to her. Jiuniang's heart... is heartless enough."

Seeing the faces of the eldest couple changing, Hua Old Master had to scold the second uncle of the Hua family: "Second, shut up. No one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak."

Hua Old Mistress also followed: "No matter what, the people from the Duke of Liang's Prefecture have finally withdrawn and are no longer monitoring us. Jiuniang... is still thinking about the family."

The second uncle of the Hua family snorted: "Even if the people from the Duke of Liang's Prefecture have withdrawn, can we go out? Don't lose our lives as soon as we leave the Count's Prefecture."

Hua Old Master was also very worried, looking at the eldest grandson who had been silent: "Dalang, do you think the matter between our family and the Duke of Liang's Prefecture is really over?"

Hua Dalang looked at the Old Master, and then looked at the others of the Hua family: "Grandfather, we must be prepared. Even if the Duke of Liang's Prefecture doesn't trouble us, our family must be twelve times alert when going out."

Hearing this, the second uncle of the Hua family was anxious: "Dalang, what do you mean? Could it be that we will encounter other dangers?"

Hua Dalang: "... Let me put it this way, the current capital is like a chessboard. The five great holy lands, the Xuanyuan Prefecture, the Imperial Family, and the noble families are all competing to place pieces and lay out layouts."

"And our family, very fortunately and very unfortunately, is already a piece on the chessboard."

Hua Old Master was anxious: "How could this be?"

The second uncle of the Hua family shouted: "What else could it be? It must be because of Jiuniang. Father, is our family really going to be killed by Jiuniang?"

Hearing this, Hua Liulang couldn't help but speak: "Second Uncle, you can't push everything to Jiuniang as soon as something happens. Cultivators are fighting for their lives against heaven. If you want to go up, you will encounter danger."

Hua Dalang also followed: "Yes, Second Uncle, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Our family is finally on the chessboard. Although we are involuntary, we can at least make some of our own sounds, not dying silently like those who can't get on the chessboard."

"Being in the game, we can at least influence the direction of some things. If we can find the right opportunity to strengthen ourselves, maybe the pieces can become chess players one day."

The second uncle of the Hua family had a dark face: "I don't have such great ambitions as you. I just want the fourth and the others to live well."

Hua Dalang sneered: "Second Uncle, you probably don't know how chaotic the territory outside the capital is. Not to mention far places, just take Nanxiang County in the southern suburbs of the former capital. Nowadays, the people there are in deep water and hot fire, and the people in the villages are being exterminated village by village."

"In troubled times, unless you are strong enough, the so-called living well is just a delusion."

The second uncle of the Hua family couldn't speak immediately.

Count Dingyuan's Prefecture, main courtyard.

Count Dingyuan and the Heir were also talking about Hua Changxi.

The Heir: "What's wrong with Hua Jiuniang? She appeared, but didn't come to see her family for the first time. Her conduct is really puzzling."

Count Dingyuan also couldn't understand Hua Changxi's thinking.

However, one thing was certain, and that was that Hua Changxi didn't really take the Hua family to heart.

Three years later, and still under the bullying of the Duke of Liang's Prefecture, if she really cared, even if she had more urgent matters, she wouldn't even meet them.

The Heir: "Father, our family has provided food and drink to protect the Hua family for three years. I feel like our efforts are going to be in vain."

Count Dingyuan looked at his son: "You, you are too obsessed with immediate gains and losses. Even if we really didn't get any return, as long as Hua Changxi is alive, and as long as she still has the surname Hua, then for us, and for the entire Hua clan, it is beneficial."

The Heir was about to refute when he saw the gatekeeper running in excitedly: "Count, Heir, Hua Changxi is here."

Hearing this, Count Dingyuan and the Heir stood up at the same time.

The Heir asked eagerly: "Where is she?"

Gatekeeper: "Just behind, the chief steward is accompanying her personally. The chief steward asked the small one to ask, should Hua Changxi be led directly to the guest courtyard, or to the main courtyard?"

Count Dingyuan decided directly: "Lead the person to the main courtyard." If she went to the guest courtyard, the Hua Bin family would be reunited, but it would have nothing to do with them.

Count Dingyuan looked at the Heir: "You go to the guest courtyard personally and bring the Hua Bin family over."

The Heir agreed and left with the gatekeeper.

The guest courtyard where the Hua Bin family lived was not far from the main courtyard. Hua Changxi happened to run into the Hua family at the gate of the main courtyard.

"Jiuniang."

Yao Shi and Hua Minghe rushed to Hua Changxi's side for the first time, pulling her to look carefully.

"Are your injuries healed? There was no news for three years, worrying your father and me to death."

Except for the men of the Hua family, the women of the Hua family also stepped forward to ask Hua Changxi about her well-being.

Seeing that the women couldn't stop talking, Hua Old Master had to speak

The women of the Hua family finally stopped talking. Led by Yao Shi, with Hua Changxi in the group, they followed behind Old Master Hua and the others into the main hall of the Count's Prefecture.

Count Hua did not lower his status to come out and welcome them, even though Hua Changxi was the most famous junior among the clansmen; instead, he sat steadily in the main hall waiting.

After Hua Changxi entered the parlor with her family, she took the initiative to perform a junior's salute to Count Hua: "Many thanks to you, Count, for taking care of my family."

The Hua family had been oppressed by the Liang Duke's Prefecture, and the Count's Prefecture had been willing to stand up and protect them; this favor had to be acknowledged.

Furthermore, the Hua family members all looked to be in good spirits, which showed that the Count's Prefecture's hospitality had been very thorough.

Count Hua laughed: "That is too formal. Your whole family are members of the Hua clan; clansmen should naturally look out for and help one another."

Look out for and help one another...

Hua Changxi's eyes flickered. She looked at the Hua family, then at Count Hua. She could not deny that this time, the Count's Prefecture had indeed helped the Hua family overcome a difficult hurdle.

Perhaps, the Hua clansmen were not entirely useless?

Tong Yao arrived. Seeing Hua Changxi standing with Yan Zhenzhen, he was also full of pleasant surprise. As soon as he approached, he asked quickly: "Are your injuries healed?"

Hua Changxi looked at him, took out a list of the Hua family members, stood up, and handed it to Old Master Hua before saying, "I went to the Xuanyuan Prefecture, and the five generals have promised me that they are willing to take in everyone from the Hua family."

"After entering the Xuanyuan Prefecture, you will join General Lu Zhenting's command, and he will arrange duties for you based on your natural talents and aptitudes."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

Second Uncle Hua was the first to jump up, asking in both shock and joy: "Jiuniang, are you saying that our whole family is now part of the Xuanyuan Prefecture?"

Hua Changxi nodded: "Regarding the matter with the Liang Duke's Prefecture, it was I who implicated the family. I cannot guarantee that similar things won't happen in the future, so I could only help you find a place that can protect you."

"The Xuanyuan Prefecture is the most suitable."
