C199 (2/2)

”Good, very good!” The masked woman nodded, ”Oh right, where are you going next? That woman Duan Tianfeng will not let Hua Er go so easily. I think it's better for me to follow you! ” she thought.

”Next, we have to return to the Bu Clan!” Li You did not hide anything and felt that this woman's concern for Bu Jinghua, who could injure Bu Jinghua to such an extent, was definitely not a simple woman. If they really did return, then it would be really hard to deal with them.

”The Bu Clan …” However, when she heard about this place, the masked woman unnaturally maintained her silence. Even her gaze suddenly went far, far away, as if she was in a difficult situation. After a long while, she said, ”The Bu Family! It's time to go back and take a look! ” she murmured, sighing slightly, as if she had made a great decision with a great deal of courage.

Sister Su was detoxifying Bu Jinghua in her room right now, so her internal injuries could slowly heal, but she had to immediately understand that if she stayed in her body for too long, she would have to slowly corrode the human bones and meridians. The poison also spread very quickly, luckily, the masked woman was able to absorb the poison in time and sealed a few meridians on her shoulder, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!

This was one of Duan Tianfeng's most vicious methods, using his inner strength to insert a poison needle containing a superior poison into a person's body, causing them to be poisoned. This poison was not a rare poison, it was refined by a high level Spirit Master, and this high level Spirit Master was not just anyone else. It was an old friend of Sister Su's, whose name was Heng Fei …

That was why she knew the method to cure the poison that he had created. Although she currently did not have the ability to develop the antidote, she still had some that she had not thrown away.

It took a lot of effort for Sister Su to finally clean up the remaining poison in Bu Jinghua's body. Although Bu Jinghua's internal injuries were heavy, it was nothing to him, so he could only rest for a while before recovering.

However, the spirit reading competition was around the corner, which somewhat affected Bu Jinghua's training.

After that, she spent another three days walking and stopping on the way back to the Bu Clan Headquarters. Although the journey was not completely calm, with the presence of the masked woman, even Duan Tianfeng did not dare to recklessly assault her. After a few fruitless attempts, she gave up on retaliating against Bu Jinghua, and even if she wanted to wait for the masked woman to leave, she was not willing to wait any longer because there were more important things for her to do.

Compared to before, the current Bu Clan was more prosperous and united. There was an orderly arrangement of guards, as well as some of the busier servants. Each one of them looked more like a rich family.

As a matter of fact, the status of the Bu family in Fallen City was still quite lofty. Although Fallen City was the most remote city in the entire Dragon Cliff Country, it was still an important economic lifeline that had passed through many countries, and in addition to the fact that the Bu family had 'done a great service' in saving the country, even though they had not been able to develop their family in Dragon Cliff City, the current Emperor was still quite considerate towards them. He especially favored them by the Imperial Advisors of Dragon Cliff Country.

Bu Jinghua stood in front of the entrance to the Bu Fang's house and looked inside, waiting for the butler to pass on the information. The butler was the same as the butler from the Bu Family, but this time, Bu Jinghua did not want to alarm too many people, so he had asked the butler to pass on the information and told Bu Batian that an old friend had come. As for the butler, although he was puzzled, he was a smart person and was in a hurry to spread the news. Soon, Bu Jinghua and the others were invited into the living room and served good tea and snacks.

As for Bu Batian, he quickly came to the living room to meet the guests. When he saw the people in the living room, he became slightly puzzled. When he saw Li You, he felt a sense of familiarity, ”It's you! What are you doing here again?! ” He knew that Li You was only taking advantage of Bu Jinghua. Even though Bu Jinghua had ”disappeared” him a few times, Bu Batian did not have a good impression of him and thought that he had nothing good to do with Bu Jinghua either.

”I …” Faced with Bu Batian's unfriendliness, Li You felt quite embarrassed. However, the main character today was not him.

”Grandpa …” When she saw Bu Batian, the most excited one was Bu Jinghua. When she called out to him in a choked voice, he turned to look at Bu Jinghua at the side. He thought that she was just a woman brought here by Worry, but now, hearing this woman's voice and hearing this familiar voice …

”You are …” Bu Batian was slightly surprised when he saw Bu Jinghua, but he soon became excited. ”Hua'er …” Although this shout sounded suspicious, the thought of this made Tyrannical Ambition even more excited.

”En!” Bu Jinghua slightly nodded in response.

”Hua'er!” ”You really are Hua'er!” He didn't expect that his old friend would be Bu Jinghua today. Bu Batian thought that it would be difficult for him to meet Bu Jinghua in this lifetime. He didn't expect that his beloved granddaughter would appear before his eyes today.

”En!” Bu Jinghua nodded his head heavily and answered with an unusually affirmative tone! She rarely looked in the mirror, but when she occasionally saw her reflection in the water, she couldn't help but praise in her heart. The ugly duckling of the past had actually turned into a white swan in just a short span of two years.

However, Bu Batian believed it. He looked at Bu Jinghua silently and suddenly murmured, ”Hua'er, the elephant, the elephant … They are too similar …” He hadn't noticed himself earlier, but now, looking at Bu Jinghua, he couldn't help but think of a woman who left more than ten years ago. That woman was so similar to the current Bu Jinghua, even her charm was so cold and indifferent.

”Grandfather, you've worked hard!” Looking at Bu Batian, Bu Jinghua also noticed the thick white hair on his forehead. It was as if time was running out for people! Although the current Bu Fang had given much consideration to the family, it would still require a certain amount of business experience and consideration in order to stand out in the competition. In these past few years, Bu Batian had definitely given a lot of consideration.

”Alright, alright, this is great. For you to be able to come back, no matter how hard Grandpa works, it's all worth it!” Looking at Bu Jinghua, Bu Batian could not hide his excitement. There were even tears in his old eyes.

Not far behind Bu Jinghua, stood the masked woman. Her pair of clear, icy eyes looked at Bu Batian as a peculiar stream of light appeared. However, at this moment, no one noticed her.

”Mommy, who is he?” This was the first time Little Treasure had seen his mommy display such a kind expression towards someone. He couldn't help but be curious, and when he saw Bu Batian's kind face, Little Treasure also felt that it was quite friendly. However, he didn't know what kind of person this old man in front of him was, nor did he know if it had anything to do with Mommy.

”This is …” Bu Batian shifted his gaze onto Xiaobao. When he saw Xiaobao, he was stunned once more. Xiaobao's face … Even though he already knew the truth, it was still better to be clear on such matters.

”Hm!” My son, Little Treasure! ” Bu Jinghua lightly said, ”Little Treasure, call me grandpa!”

”Grandpa …” Little Treasure looked at Bu Batian and muttered.

”Good! Little Treasure! ” After confirming Xiaobao's identity, Bu Batian excitedly squatted down and grabbed Xiaobao's shoulders. He heroically said, ”Brat, I didn't expect to grow so big already. Hahaha, good, very good!”

”But, Mommy, what is grandpa?” The moment the doubtful Little Treasure said these words, everyone present immediately burst into laughter.

”Silly child, your grandpa is your mommy's daddy's daddy!” Big sister Su walked over to explain to Xiaobao in a cordial manner.

”Oh …” Little Treasure was naturally able to make sense of this intimate relationship. He nodded as if suddenly enlightened, ”So that's the case!” That kind of confused look again caused everyone to burst out laughing.

”This is …” After the laughter ended, Bu Batian shifted his gaze to Big Sister Su who was by Xiaobao's side. He had never seen this person before, but seeing how intimate Xiao Bao and Bu Jinghua were, they must not be simple people.

”My teacher — Sister Su!” Bu Jinghua introduced.

He had been curious about Bu Jinghua's legendary teacher for a very long time. Every time he wanted to introduce her, he would be unintentionally tricked by her. He did not expect that this time, he would actually be able to meet her teacher, that legendary expert, but this woman, she also looked … Hehe, as the saying goes, one should not judge a book by its cover. How could a person who Bu Jinghua called a teacher be inferior to him? The woman in front of him was definitely an expert amongst experts.

”Sister Su, thank you. Thank you for taking care of Bu Jinghua all these years. I …” He knew that all of this had something to do with Sister Su. For a moment, he could not think of any better words to express his gratitude.

”Master Bu, you are too courteous. To have such an outstanding disciple like Bu Jinghua is the greatest honor of my life. If you really want me to thank you, then I should be the one thanking you!” Thank you for giving me such an outstanding disciple! ” Sister Su said politely. Every word she said was from the bottom of her heart.

”Hehehe, you're too polite. Then don't be too courteous, just treat the Bu Family as your own home from now on!” When Bu Batian heard sister Su's words, he felt a sense of pride.

”Then this …” Actually, Bu Batian had noticed the masked woman who had been silently standing behind Bu Jinghua and the others the entire time. The aura exuded from this woman's body made him feel strange, as they had all been courteously polite for so long, but this woman was still silently looking at him. She silently looked at Bu Batian as if she knew him.

Furthermore, this woman was emitting an unfathomable aura. Bu Batian was sure that this woman was definitely an expert.

”Oh, she is …” Just as Bu Jinghua wanted to introduce her, he realized that even he did not know her name. He suddenly felt a little awkward.

”Oh, just call me Yiyi!” The masked woman took a step forward and introduced herself.

”Aunt Yi, I already knew about it!” Little Treasure said in an arrogant tone, instantly making everyone laugh.

”Master …” At this moment, the butler rushed in. Looking at his anxious face, something big must have happened. He ran to Bu Batian's ear and whispered into it. Hearing Bu Batian's voice, everyone felt that the situation was serious.

”Grandfather, what's wrong?” Bu Jinghua could feel the seriousness in Bu Batian's tone and asked.

”It's okay, it's just a annoying fly. Oh yeah, you guys should be tired too. Butler, bring Big Miss and the others down to rest. Remember, you can't spread the news when Big Miss comes back, understand?” Bu Batian knew what was on Bu Jinghua's mind. He did not inform anyone that she was back. He did not want to alarm too many people, so he knew about this low profile and thought about it.

”Yes sir!” When the housekeeper heard this, his heart was in turmoil. That respectable young miss had actually come back. Although the change was so great that he didn't even recognize her, he didn't doubt that the person in front of him was Bu Jinghua because that cold aura hadn't changed. Towards this young miss, the butler admired her from the bottom of his heart, so he respectfully carried out Bu Batian's orders and prepared several quiet rooms and many delicious dishes for her.

”Butler, what is the matter that made you so nervous?” Even though Bu Batian said that, Bu Jinghua was still worried when he saw the solemn expression on Bu Batian's face, ”Is someone here to cause trouble?” If that was the case, would Bu Jinghua really just sit there and do nothing?

”This …” Hearing Bu Jinghua's words, the butler felt troubled. He wanted to tell Bu Jinghua very much, but he knew that Bu Jingtian didn't want him to worry.

”Butler, if you have something to say, just say it. I will tell my grandfather!” Bu Jinghua could tell from the butler's expression that things were going to get troublesome.

”Since Eldest Miss is so insistent on knowing, then I can't keep it a secret anymore. Actually, the old gramps has worked hard to support us through all these years!” The housekeeper let out a deep sigh and continued, ”Although Second Master and Third Master helped, the competition here is much bigger than in the Dragon Cliff City. A lot of things are settled by force, and other than the Old Master, the cultivation of both masters is still …” When the steward said this, Bu Jinghua completely understood what the steward meant.

”During this half year, the Bu Clan has been harassed by the outside world many times, especially after the Bao Clan moved here.” In this half year, the Bu Clan has been harassed by the outside world many times, especially after the Bao Clan moved here. Today, the panther had brought people to make trouble. Say that it was my family that injured their people, and ask my family to give them a reasonable explanation! ” The butler sighed and added, ”This kind of thing isn't the first or second time. These days, this kind of thing happens more frequently. Previously, the old man had suppressed it with a strong tone, but recently, I heard that a big shot came to protect the family, so I have nothing to be afraid of …” As he finished speaking, the butler looked at Bu Jinghua helplessly, waiting for a complete solution. As long as he knew, their eldest Miss would definitely not be weak, and this kind of person who knew that he was being bullied would definitely come forward to seek justice, just like how he did in the Dragon Cliff City.

”Save the family!” Towards this family that often caused trouble for the Bu Family, Bu Jinghua immediately felt a sense of disgust. ”Come, let's go outside and take a look!” After placing down the hot dishes on the table, Bu Jinghua suddenly stood up and instructed the butler to bring him out, while big sister Su and the others were left behind to take care of Xiaobao.

”Bu Batian, even if you deny it this time, it's useless. It's obvious that your people are jealous of us, and they even injured our brothers and smashed our store. Tell me, how are you going to compensate us this time?!” ”Come, bring the people here!” A burly man with a full beard, who wore a suit that revealed his rough arms, gave the order. A thin and weak looking young man was pressed down by his subordinates, and was forced to kneel on the ground.

”Old Master …” The youngster's face had long since been disfigured by the slap. He was slightly sober, but when he saw Bu Batian, he respectfully called out. His voice revealed an abnormally pitiful amount of pain.

”What do you mean?” He knew that young man. He was the most hardworking young man in the headquarters, and last month, he had even won the award for the most hardworking work. He had even personally given the award.

”Hmph, what do you mean? Do you really think my family can be easily bullied? Even if you are a relative of the royal family, if you don't give us a satisfactory answer today, we will definitely not be kind! ” Bao Bao stated word by word, looking extremely arrogant.

”Old Man …” ”It's them, they slandered me …” Before the young man on the ground could finish his sentence, he was ruthlessly punched by another person. The punch was directed towards his face, and one could even hear the sound of his teeth breaking. In an instant, two bloody teeth accompanied by a mouthful of blood spurted out of the young man's mouth.

”Humph, damn brat, you still dare to deny it. Offending someone from my family will not end well!” Bao Bao glared with his tiger-like eyes as he fiercely spoke. These words were not only for Bu Batian to hear, but also from everyone who was watching.

”You …” Just as Bu Batian was about to take action to capture the cheetah and rescue the young man, another person stood out from the group. This person looked a little younger than Bu Batian, and judging from his spirited look, he should be at the same level as Bu Batian, his strength should be at the same level as Bu Batian. Previously, the reason why the protector family did not dare to attack the Bu Clan directly was because the Bu Clan had Bu Batian, so no one could fight him, but now, they were not afraid.

”Hehe, Bu Batian, how have you been?” The old man looked at Bu Batian, his smiling eyes exuding a strong sense of hatred.

”It's you …” When he saw this person, Bu Batian was slightly startled, but he quickly regained his composure.

Hmph! Back then, I lost to you in an accident. Today, I must take revenge for my past disgrace!” He took a step forward and his body trembled, and a powerful aura immediately burst forth from him. The people around him were even affected by the aura, and they quickly took a few steps back to maintain a certain distance, afraid that they would be affected by the aura.

”Robert, our fight back then was fair. If you challenge me, I will accompany you at any time, but if you want to help protect our family and bully our family, then I, Bu Batian, will never let this go!” Bu Batian stood there, while the other party's powerful aura rushed towards Bu Batian, causing him to stagger a little, but he quickly stopped.

”Humph!” It's not up to you now, but me. Do you really think I'm still the Robert from before? Are you still Bu Batian from back then? ”Old man, you're old. You're no match for me now!” After saying that, Robert's body trembled again, and that aura immediately became stronger. He rushed towards Bu Batian. This time, Bu Batian was not able to stand still, and unconsciously retreated a few steps.

Suddenly, a slender hand lightly patted Bu Batian's shoulder and easily helped Bu Batian stabilize his body. Bu Batian turned his head in surprise and saw Bu Jinghua behind him.

”Grandfather, let me do it!” Bu Jinghua confidently said. Looking at Bu Jinghua's calm appearance, Bu Batian knew that this granddaughter of hers was no longer the same Bu Jinghua as before. Perhaps her strength was beyond his imagination and she could support herself for a long time.
