Chapter 297 Her Determination
Chapter 297 Her Determination
"Uncle, are you okay?" Si Ren looked at Si Xun strangely.
No one except Si Xun knows that Si Xun is Xiao Xun, and Si Xun does not intend to tell anyone. When Si Ren is able to take over the position of head of the family, there will no longer be Si Xun in this world, only Xiao Xun.
Si Xun did not have much attachment to the position of head of the family. He preferred to live a simple life with Pei Ningjing and Fu Rao.
Seeing the mother and daughter happy, he was also very happy. This had been his wish for eighteen years.
I believe that if Pei Ningjing had not been poisoned, Si Xun would have fulfilled his wish long ago.
When he thought of Pei Ningjing, Si Xun sighed deeply in his heart again.
"I'm fine. There's a banquet tonight, specially held for Mr. Huo, and you're also invited. Do you want to go? Also, you have to leave here tomorrow and never show up here again. Do you hear me?"
Si Xun looked at the faint smile on Fu Rao's face and felt it was a bit awkward no matter how he looked at it.
Why did he feel like his secret had been discovered by her?
"Who is Mr. Huo?"
Fu Rao thought of what Huo Yizhou said when he left, that she would be able to meet Young Master Huo tonight. At this time, Si Xun had further verified his words. When she heard that the head of the family would actually hold a banquet for Young Master Huo, it sounded a little strange.
"The acting patriarch of the Huo family, he doesn't care about worldly affairs and is indifferent to fame and gain. He is the most mysterious, the most difficult to mess with, and the person who should not be messed with among all people."
A rare trace of fear appeared on Si Xun's face. When talking about Young Master Huo, Huo Qinzhou, not only he, but even everyone who had met him would be afraid of him.
"Acting Patriarch? Isn't Huo Yizhuo the young master? Why is there an acting Patriarch? Wouldn't it be better to let the young master take the position directly?" Si Ren also looked confused.
"Huo Yizhou is more unpredictable than Huo Qinzhou. Huo Yizhou's whereabouts are erratic, and he doesn't like to manage things. He doesn't care about anything at all. Everything is left to Huo Qinzhou. It can be said that the Huo family is managed by Huo Qinzhou. Even so, Huo Yizhou's position in the Huo family is more feared than Huo Qinzhou."
Si Xun seemed to be thinking of something, his expression a little solemn.
Huo Yizhou? Could he be the ordinary man with the girl? They were together last night and even disappeared for most of the night?
Thinking of this, Si Xun felt a chill on his back.
His daughter was kidnapped like this? And right under his nose?
"The whole family is weird." Fu Rao was speechless.
Although the Huo family was strange, they could see each other tonight anyway, and Huo Linzhou...
When she thought of him, a hint of coldness flashed in Fu Rao's eyes.
Since anyone dares to plot against her, no matter who he is, he will have to pay the price!
"Girl, hey, you will appear as Old Man Tianyi tonight, but you'd better talk less. The pills you have on you can make them afraid. They are elixirs for all cultivators." Si Xun instructed again, his voice gradually becoming softer.
"Arao, is the person with you Huo Yizhou?"
Si Ren glanced at the other open guest room, then thought of Huo Yizhou's powerful kung fu and asked.
"Is that person really Huo Yizhou?"
Looking at the two excited people, Fu Rao nodded.
Is Huo Yizhou very famous? Why is Si Xun so excited?
"Someone else?"
"He left. He said his elder brother is here and he wants to go and keep him company. He said he will see him tonight."
"You didn't keep him?"
"Why keep him here? You'll see in a moment."
Fu Rao frowned slightly. Is she the clingy type?
Si Xun felt so upset. Huo Yizhou must know Huo Qinzhou's purpose, but everyone was gone. Where could he ask?
"Didn't you ask him why Huo Qinzhou came here?" Si Xun calmed himself down again.
The girl doesn’t know Huo Qinzhou, so it’s normal that she doesn’t know. It’s very normal.
Si Xun comforted himself in his heart.
This cannot be blamed on Si Xun. The first time Huo Qinzhou appeared, he put the interests of the country above his own and imprisoned Huo Qiu in the back mountain of Yinshi Village on behalf of the Huo family.
The second time, Huo Qinzhou took the position of acting head of the Huo family.
At that time, the four family heads and elders all went to congratulate them. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the scene of the Huo family with blood flowing like a river.
The image of the cold-blooded Huo Qinzhou was also deeply imprinted in their minds and could never be erased.
He had a shadow in his heart about Huo Qinzhou. Not only him, but also those who congratulated him that time had a shadow in their hearts.
Moreover, Huo Qinzhou would not leave the Huo family easily. Now he left with the secret guards and the third young master of the Huo family.
No matter how you look at this situation, it's strange. Something big must have happened, otherwise Huo Qinzhou would not have shown up and held a banquet.
This banquet might be a Hongmen Banquet.
When Fu Rao saw Si Xun’s serious look, she couldn’t help but take it seriously as well.
Huo Yizhou never took Huo Linzhou seriously, but when he heard Huo Qinzhou's arrival, he took the initiative to leave him.
"Huo Yizhou said that Huo Qinzhou came to find him and take him back."
Fu Rao thought carefully about what Huo Yizhou said before he left. Did Huo Qinzhou really come to find him?
She felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in her heart, as if the matter had something to do with her.
"No matter what his purpose is, you should not go tonight. Stay here and leave immediately tomorrow morning. If the secret room had not been destroyed, I would send you away right now."
Si Xun was a little annoyed about her relationship with Huo Yizhou. Could this be the purpose of Huo Qinzhou coming here?
If this happens, the girl will be in danger, and he heard that the Huo family is very cautious about marriage.
"Uncle, we invited Lady Tianyi here in front of the other three young masters. If she doesn't show up tonight, how are we going to explain? And her name is on the invitation letter." Si Ren also frowned.
He had dealt with Huo Yizhou several times before, and it was not safe to leave Fu Rao here tonight.
Moreover, Huo Yizhuo knew her identity, and so would the other members of the Huo family. If that was the case, there was no point in hiding it any longer.
"Well, and Huo Yizhou knows my identity, and Huo Linzhou also knows it, so now this matter is not a secret to them at all." Fu Rao said lightly.
"Do you know how the Fu family was expelled from the Hidden Village?" Si Xun asked with a frown.
"Is it because of the Qingluan Sword?"
"Since you know this, you should understand the principle of 'the innocent man is guilty of hiding a wall'. In the past, the Fu family disappeared because of internal strife, and the five major families took advantage of it. Now you have not only four sword skeletons, but also an exciting elixir, and even the prophecy of Old Xia eighteen years ago. Do you think they will let you go?"
"So what? The Fu family now has only one direct branch, and it has faded out for decades, or even hundreds of years. My grandfather and I don't have any spiritual energy, and they have never thought about returning here to re-establish the family's prestige. They just want to keep the area safe. Those who are targeting the Fu family had better think about whether they have the ability to pass this test of my lady, otherwise I will make all those who are targeting the Fu family live a life worse than death!"
Fu Rao's tone was calm, but her voice was icy cold.
Although she had never asked her family's opinion, she knew that everything they did was to protect themselves. To her, whether they lived in seclusion or not, it meant nothing. What mattered to her was her family.
The family members continue to improve their own strength just to allow the Fu family to survive well in the world and never be used by others again.
Moreover, she believed that her grandfather and the others had no ambitions, and that the major families in Yinshi Village were just in name only. They would be like her and didn't care at all.
Tonight gives her a chance, a chance to prove herself.
The Fu family is not the Fu family of a hundred years ago. The current Fu family cannot be bullied by any family!
"Have you asked Fu Guosheng what he thinks? Have you asked the ancestors of the Fu family? Are they willing to leave this stage?"
"Whether you are willing or not, the past is over. Even after a hundred years, the Fu family is still at the top. No one dares to look down on the Fu family, and no one is allowed to dare to take advantage of the Fu family!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Fu Rao's lips, and a confident and bold temperament emanated from her.
