Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 423

In other words, if Huo Lian had a son, this might be the standard of living he would have.

Although Chen Muxue also tried her best to provide the children with the best life, she was poor. Even if she gave up everything else, including cultivation, and switched to doing business, such as opening a restaurant, the money she could make in a short time would still be far less than the Huo Family.

Moreover, the reason Changgui gave was friendship...

Xiaohua tugged on Chen Muxue’s sleeve again, seemingly very dissatisfied with Changgui’s response. Chen Muxue patiently squatted down and told her: "We can’t let Changgui stop attending school just because you don’t like Uncle Huo Lian. Besides, Changgui is here to study, and the teacher isn’t Uncle Huo Lian, so there’s not really that much connection, right?"

Xiaohu, however, was worried and said, "Changgui knows almost all the secrets of our Qian Ding Sect. Who knows if he will reveal the second or third one? These are the things of our Qian Ding Sect..."

"The attitude of the Huo Family towards our Qian Ding Sect..." Changfu was even more hesitant.

Upon hearing this, Changgui immediately shook his head and said, "No, I won’t say anything more..."

Chen Muxue saw the ring on his small hand, which seemed to be custom-made for him, and said, "I trust you, Changgui."

Changgui slightly raised his head, his eyes shining as he looked at Chen Muxue.

"But those books, please return them to me first. I see you have a storage ring; you should have brought them, right?" Chen Muxue said straightforwardly.

Changgui’s eyes flickered, and he lowered them. Compliantly, he took out the secrets belonging to the Qian Ding Sect. These weren’t the original ones but copies that were already in existence, stored in the Qian Ding Sect. Chen Muxue wouldn’t be so foolish as to give the originals to a child.

Though these copies were already somewhat worn from previous readings, they were noticeably more worn than when Chen Muxue had given them to Changgui. The edges of the pages were very fragile but not curled, showing that they were well cared for, with attention paid to keeping the edges smooth to prevent curling.

It seemed that Changgui had indeed pored over these secrets countless times, showing he was a diligent child.

"Changgui, come here." Seeing that Changgui, after handing over the secrets, seemed about to return to Huo Lian’s side, Chen Muxue frowned and said.

Changgui hesitated but did not listen. Instead, he returned to Huo Lian’s side.

Huo Lian showed some surprise in his eyes but even more pride.

Chen Muxue’s mouth turned downward quite a bit. Of course, Changgui could continue his studies at the Huo Family Academy. She originally thought: shouldn’t we let children attend school even if we don’t like the principal? She couldn’t really say she had a deep grudge with Huo Lian, just that they couldn’t be very good friends.

But now, with Changgui returning to Huo Lian’s side, it made things more complicated.

Chen Muxue was aware of Changgui’s talent in Elixirs. She allowed him to attend school so that his talent wouldn’t be stifled and to avoid the tragedy of a wasted prodigy.

However, the prodigy was not wasted; instead, the prodigy left his father to become someone else’s son, which was awkward.

"Miss Chen, Changgui managed to create a medicine today that rivals the Heavenly Heart Jade Clear Pill. I temporarily call it the Wuyou Fruit." Huo Lian’s smile returned as he spoke. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Chen Muxue smiled and said, "Wuyou Fruit? Wuyou Immortal Fruit is also an Elixir in the Qian Ding Sect’s secrets. This Wuyou Fruit, isn’t it coincidentally related to the Wuyou Immortal Fruit?"

Changgui’s eyes flickered.
