Chapter 424 Choice
Chen Muxue seemed to have exhausted all her expectations. Facing Chang Gui, she gave an ultimatum:
“Changgui, I don’t object to you continuing to study, but you have to make your position clear.”
After Chen Muxue finished speaking, she looked at Chang Gui quietly, as if waiting for him to give a definite answer.
There was a struggle in Chang Gui's eyes. Huo Lian also noticed Chang Gui's hesitation and held his hand slightly, as if to show that he could be Chang Gui's solid backing.
Chen Muxue and Chang Gui looked at each other for a few seconds. In these few seconds, it seemed as if countless messages were transmitted to each other.
Seeing Chang Gui's expression become more determined, he let go of Huo Lian's hand.
Even Huo Lian thought that Chang Gui was going back to Chen Muxue. Just when he was lamenting that all the environment and hints he had subtly and deliberately created for Chang Gui these days seemed to be in vain, he saw Chang Gui Gong. He knelt down respectfully towards Chen Muxue and kowtowed three times.
"Chang Gui will definitely remember the life-saving grace of the sect master." Chang Gui spoke concisely and concisely. After kowtow, his forehead was already red and swollen, and he returned to Huo Lian.
Huo Lian looked at Changgui's somewhat uncertain expression and gave him a firm look: "Changgui, since you have made this choice, I will definitely not let you down."
Xiaohua and others did not expect this scene. Changfu could not even understand what happened for a while: "What... does this mean? Is it what I thought?"
Changfu and Changgui were rescued by Chen Muxue from Ren Yazi at the same time. He thought he was closer to Changgui. Now that something like this happened, his mind may have turned around, but he was unwilling to accept it in his heart.
"Since you have made such a choice, I will not do anything to persuade you to stay. Don't call me the sect leader again in the future. From now on, you will have nothing to do with the Qianding Sect." Chen Muxue said and paused. After a pause, his eyes slowly moved to Huo Lian, but his words were still directed to Chang Gui, "In the future, I don't want to see the secret recipe of Qian Ding Sect being spread. If Chang Gui, you can't keep the secret in your mind, The knowledge of Ganding Sect, then... I don’t mind clearing your memory.”
Huo Lian knew that this was aimed at his Huo family. It seemed that Chen Muxue had noticed that he had been trying to keep Chang Gui in the Huo family.
But now, it's too late to say anything, Changgui has chosen to stay with the Huo family.
Even if we can no longer use Qian Ding Sect’s elixir recipe, who can say that Qian Ding Sect’s elixir refining and dispensing skills were stolen? There are also experiences gained by predecessors, which are subtly engraved into every move. Unlike Danfang, this kind of knowledge will not be counted as stolen in any way.
The value that Changgui has shown in these days, even if one puts aside the Danfang of Qianding Sect, is astonishing and impressive.
Huo Lian saw that Changgui looked depressed. As a businessman, he naturally knew how to balance. In his opinion, even emotions can be calculated in terms of gains and losses.
"In this case, Changgui is free." Huo Lian announced, "Then, from today on, I, Huo Lian, will adopt Changgui as my adopted son. Someone, please announce this matter and choose an auspicious day. Invite all directions!”
In this era, the status of adopted son is very important, especially according to Huo Lian's intention, he wants to tell the world, so Changgui, the adopted son, might write the family tree under the name of the Huo family. Maybe.(End of this chapter)
