Chapter 235: Not Simple

"I want Miss Hua to understand that the most important thing in His Highness's hands is a master. No one is too much for you, and one is too little for you."

"Or maybe the girl thinks she is unparalleled in beauty?"

When Hua Luoli heard this, her eyes dimmed instantly and she shook her head: "I know that for big men like them, the most important thing they lack is women..."

"Forget it...I am the one who brought it upon myself...father-in-law, please take it easy."

Seeing her look like this, Nan Yanxi suddenly chuckled in her heart and thought, forget it, don't scare her anymore.

Then he cleared his throat: "Of course, I just said that His Highness loves talents."

"Well, let's ask you a few questions. If your answers satisfy us, we will make the decision for His Highness..."

"Girl, what do you think...is that good?"

As soon as these words came out, Hua Luoli's dim eyes suddenly became bright again, and she quickly agreed: "Okay... okay... father-in-law, let me ask..."

"Well..." Nan Yanxi nodded: "First question, let me ask you, what is the grudge between you and the heroine Mu Qingyanmu?"

"How could you make a special trip to deal with her and not hesitate to be someone else's thug?"

Hearing this, Hua Luoli shook her head: "She and I don't have much enmity. In other words, we just met by chance."

"That year on the Rookie of the Year list, I was unlucky. I met an opponent whose skills matched mine, and I had no choice but to lose."

"But she, Mu Qingyan, had extraordinary luck, pushed her all the way, and finally won the crown."

"I...I just don't want to give in. Our martial arts are so good at each other, why is my reputation not as good as hers!"

"Is it that simple?" Nan Yanxi was stunned for a moment in disbelief and asked suspiciously.

Hua Luoli nodded awkwardly: "My father-in-law, you have lived in a temple for a long time. I don't know how much people in the world value these false names."

"Come on..." After hearing what she said, Nan Yanxi smiled disdainfully: "I see, you are just too small-minded!"

"Mu Qingyan ranks first. I have been with her for such a long time and I have never heard her talk about it."

"And that one, that... uh... Jiang Yingxue, isn't she also on your list?"

"Although my ranking is not as high as the two of you, I can still be considered a mid-level expert. We don't hear anyone talking about this all day long, right?"

"You are just too small-minded and pay too much attention to your reputation. What's the use of that thing?"

After saying that, Nan Yanxi couldn't help but give her an analogy: "That's just a rookie list, just like our imperial examination."

"There are a large number of students who have won the imperial examination and are waiting to enter the Hanlin Academy every year, but how many of them will finally make it out?"

"Most of them worked as editors in the Hanlin Academy until they were old. The only ones who can really be candidates for official positions are those who are capable."

"You still rely on your own efforts. What's the use of a false reputation?"

"I believe that in your ranking, those who are not ranked as well as you may not be doing worse than you now."

"As for those who are ranked high, maybe they are all more popular now. Why are you so brooding about them?"

After saying that, Nan Yanxi paused: "Besides, this list of yours has no gold content at all."

"Look, this list has been suspended for several times, right?"

"Uh...this..." The hearty scolding only left Hua Luoli stunned for a moment.

But after thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense. I have been worried about it for so many years.

He regarded Mu Qingyan as his opponent and always thought about how to fight against her. Now that he thought about it, it seemed a bit unworthy.

Having said that, even if she didn't take the top spot back then, she is still the mistress of the Qinglian Sword Sect and is still better than herself.

And he has been in the world for so many years and has left a lot of fame. It seems that not many people pay attention to that list.

It was just that at that time, I was very skilled in martial arts and had a perverse personality, so no one dared to talk to me like that.

Now, I was finally in trouble because of this jealousy.

After being scolded by the eunuch, Hua Luoli felt like she suddenly became enlightened.

Years of resentment disappeared in an instant, and I felt much relieved.

He breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Nan Yanxi with a hint of gratitude.

She smiled a little ashamedly and said, "Thank you so much, father-in-law, for giving me such a lesson. It was like a wake-up call for the little girl."

"Over the years...I have become jealous!"

"Well... just admit your mistakes!" Nan Yanxi nodded happily: "Life is up to you. Whoever feels comfortable knows."

"It's a day to be happy and relaxed, and it's a day to wallow in sadness and hatred all day long, so... there's nothing wrong with everything."

After saying that, Nan Yanxi paused for a moment, turned around and asked again: "Okay, this matter is over. Our family will naturally explain it to Master Mu."

"Come to think of it, Master Mu has a broad mind, so naturally he won't bear any grudge against you."

"Let's ask you, how much do you know about the Zhang family? Tell us..."

Hearing this, Hua Luoli nodded slowly, pondered for a while and said, "I feel that this family is not simple, and it is not as ordinary as it seems."

"Or...there must be someone behind them."

"Oh?" Nan Yanxi's face condensed when she heard this: "Why did the girl say this?"

Hua Luoli paused, rearranged her words, and opened her mouth slightly: "I originally came here for fun and lived in Yunhe Tower."

"I went out to play that day, and when I came back, there was a letter on the bed."

"The letter said that they got the news about Mu Qingyan and came to Nanhai Kyoto in person. If they are interested, they can go to Zhang Mansion to meet."

"I had nothing to do at the time, so since I could cause trouble for Master Mu, I went."

"But when I went there, I found out that this person was going to deal with you and your group, and he wanted to capture them all alive, without killing anyone."

"And agreed to give me eight hundred taels of gold as a reward."

Hearing this, Nan Yanxi's eyes widened instantly: "Eight...eight hundred taels...gold?"

"Those two old men only have one thousand taels in total. How can they be willing to do that?"

When Hua Luoli heard this, she smiled proudly: "What can I do if I don't want to be reconciled? If the two of them join forces, they may not be my opponent..."

"And... neither of them were present when I had a secret conversation."

"The reason why I feel something is wrong is that firstly it is such a big deal, and secondly..."

After saying that, Hua Luoli raised her head and stared at Nan Yanxi with sharp eyes: "The first task they asked is to capture all of you, not just Master Mu."

"And he also ordered that if something happens, at least you and another woman will be captured."

"In other words, Daxia Mu is not as important to them as you two."

"Uh... this?" Nan Yanxi was stunned for a moment, her brain running out of energy.

The meaning of this incident is very obvious from beginning to end. The rich family was jealous and lustful, but they accidentally ran into trouble.

I couldn't help but lose the bracelet and was teased severely.

The rich family was so evil that they went home and summoned men to take revenge.

Then he was slapped hard in the face again, but the fox didn't catch him, and he made a fuss all over, and finally he was kicked off.

But with the information now revealed, it feels like this matter is not that simple.

Not to mention that this eighteen hundred taels of gold was not something that an ordinary business family could afford, and it was just to find a place for this unsatisfactory young master.

Just thinking about Hua Luoli's last sentence, why did he say that if something unexpected happened, at least he and Mo Yunxi would be captured?

The one Zhang Houde liked the most was Mo Qingyan, and the one he hated the most was also her.

Looking back, it was easy to understand why we wanted to catch Mo Yunxi, so why did we have to catch ourselves?

Although Nan Yanxi considers herself to be naturally beautiful and handsome, she doesn't just have her sexual orientation changed.

It would be better to have a sharp click of the knife.

Smacking, smacking, Nan Yanxi thought to herself, it seems like she needs to send someone to check on these guys again.

Just as he was thinking about it, Hua Luoli asked carefully: "Um...father-in-law, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Ah? Oh...! It's gone." Nan Yanxi came back to her senses with a jolt.

After saying that, he took out the jade bottle from his arms and poured out a white pill.

She smiled with great interest and said: "Girl Hua, don't say that our family doesn't trust you. The girl is very skilled in martial arts, so I can only think more."

"This thing is called the Seven Flowers and Seven Insects Pill. It is a great tonic, but also a great poison..."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand: "If you want to save your life and regain your freedom...do you dare to try?"
