Chapter 1924 - Pretense
Chapter 1924: Pretense
Although on the surface, the Patriarch’s expression changed ever so slightly, the Hua Clan paid close attention and naturally saw his relief.
“We can’t blame you for the matter of Wei Xing. This was his own choice and we respect it.” Patriarch Wei said sadly, “Since he has accepted your reward, he is naturally responsible for your safety. So you don’t have to blame yourselves.”
“No matter what, the Wei Clan lost a strong exponent and we feel very sorry for your loss.” The Great Elder said, “We have brought something over to apologize.”
“Great Elder, you are too polite.”
“I know that your Young Master has been looking for an Advancement Pill recently. It just so happens that we have one…”
When Patriarch Wei heard the words ‘Advancement Pill’, his eyes lit up, and he said as he suppressed his excitement and asked, “Is it really an Advancement Pill?”
The Great Elder took out a box and presented it to Patriarch Wei. When he opened the box and saw the dark pill lying inside, he put on an expression of disbelief and shook his head: “It’s really an Advancement Pill! How can we take this?”
“Patriarch Wei, you need this more than we do now, please take it.” The Great Elder said.
“If that’s the case, then I won’t reject your kind offer. My family’s Lin’er is indeed at a critical juncture now. With this Advancement Pill, after advancing, he will personally come to the door to thank you.” The Patriarch put the pill away and said gratefully.
What a worthwhile exchange! He exchanged an Advancement Pill for a Wei Xing who did not support him very much in the clan. Heh, this Wei Xing’s death could also be considered worthy.
He was full of thoughts, but he didn’t show it on his face. HIn stark comparison to his thoughts, people only thought that he was grieving for his fallen nephew. After some consideration, he probed: “Since Wei Xing fell to the guardian beast, did you manage to find the Snow Fungus?”
When he said this, the eyes of the Great Elder turned red.
“Why, Old Hua, he…”
“The situation of the Patriarch is already very bad. Even if I send someone now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold them back.” The Great Elder said in a sad tone, both sad and desperate. “Patriarch Wei, I hope you can keep this secret for us. If you let the Zheng Clan know, I’m afraid…”
“I understand.” Patriarch Wei said sadly, “I didn’t expect his condition to be so serious this time. Alas, our two families are also family friends. If you have any needs, you can come to us. If we can help with anything, do let us know.”
The eyes of the Great Elder suddenly brightened a lot, as if he was just waiting for his words. He bowed to the Patriarch and said: “With the words of the Patriarch, we are much more relieved. If we need it in the future, please ask the Wei Clan to help us through the difficulties.”
Everyone present understands that this difficulty referred to the Zheng Clan.
“Alright, you can send someone to notify us at that time!” Patriarch Wei promised.
“Thank you, Patriarch Wei!” The Great Elder brought the Hua Clan to salute, and then left the Wei Clan.
After they left, Wei Lin, the Young Master of the Wei Clan, walked in.
“Grandfather, do we really want to extend a helping hand to the Hua Clan?” Wei Lin asked.
“How is it possible?” The Patriarch sneered. “The Hua Clan is already at the end of the battle. In this struggle, it is impossible to survive. Besides, the Zheng Clan has promised us that as long as we don’t interfere, we will be divided one-third of the assets of the Hua Clan.”
“Then why are you agreeing with them? They killed Wei Xing, not to mention, they still have the face to come to us for help. Their cheeks are a little too thick! Why didn’t Hua Yu die outside!” Wei Lin bitterly said.
He hated Wei Lin, he hated him since he was a child. That guy was obviously younger than him, but his talent was much higher. Now his strength has far surpassed him and people from Western Verge Region liked to compare the two of them which was why he hated Hua Yu even more.
Unexpectedly, when they went out this time, Wei Xing died, but he came back with his life. It would be great if he died!
Patriarch Wei smiled, “I’ve told them to send someone to notify us if they need any help. With the arrogance of the Hua Clan, they won’t send anyone to ask for help until the last moment. Now that it is the last moment, who can guarantee that the person who came to inform will be able to come to our Wei Manor smoothly? As long as they don’t come to our house and we don’t see anyone, then we don’t have to take action. This is not a violation of the promise I just made.”
“It’s still Grandfather who is the wisest.” Wei Lin smiled happily when he heard that he wouldn’t really help the Hua Clan.
“Lin’er, look at this.” Patriarch Wei took out the Advancement Pill and handed it to Wei Lin. Wei Lin opened it and saw the pill inside, he almost jumped with excitement.
“Grandfather, is this really an Advancement Pill?”
“Of course, I personally tested it.” Patriarch Wei said, “You have been stuck in a bottleneck for far too long. As long as you take this pill, you will definitely be able to break through.”
“Alright! I’m going into retreat now.” Wei Lin took the pill and was unwilling to wait for a moment. He bowed to Patriarch Wei and left in a hurry.
With this pill, he will surely be able to advance successfully this time!
Hua Yu was helped into the Hua Manor. He changed from his previous weakness. Although his face was still not good, he was not weak enough to be supported by someone.
Hua Yuan was beside him, smiling: “Young Princess, this medicine is really effective. He’s only slightly injured, but you made it look like the real thing.”
“Yes!” Hua Yu touched his chest, “If I don’t understand my own situation, I am afraid that I think that I will be dying if I check it out by myself.”
After they negotiated in the morning, Hua Yu was about to give people a serious injury. At this time, Sima You Yue asked the maid to send a pill, saying that it could be faked to make him look like he was seriously injured.
Although he didn’t know what method Sima You Yue used, he believed her and took the pill without hesitation. He didn’t expect the effect to be so good.
“The Young Princess is so kind to us. Before we thanked her for the last time, she helped us again.” Hua Yuan said gratefully.
“Yes! Meeting the Young Princess may be our greatest luck.” Hua Yu sighed.
Without Sima You Yue, they wouldn’t be able to come back, couldn’t get Snow Fungus, and the Patriarch would not be able to save it, and it would be impossible to know that the Wei Clan had been in trouble with the Zheng Clan. It was because of her that they had such a good situation, and even grasped the initiative in this matter.
At this time, a maid came over and said: “Great Elder, the Young Master, the Young Miss and the Young Princess said that they would like to see the Patriarch and invited you along.”
Sima You Yue went to see the Patriarch? The three of them were a little surprised, and hurried over after asking the place.
“Hua Xu has seen the Young Princess, Lord Mo Yu.” The Patriarch of the Hua Clan saluted the two.
Mo Yu lead Sima You Yue to the seat, and Hua Yu and the others rushed over.
“Young Princess, Master Mo Yu.”
“It looks like you did a great job today.” Sima You Yue smiled.
“This is all thanks to the Young Princess’s medicine.” Hua Yu said gratefully.
“I am here today because I have some news to tell you…”
