After a pause, the old man took out two exquisite silver hairpins and continued, “These two silver hairpins in my hand are poison hairpins that Xiao Lan had spent many years soaking in more than 300 types of poison. As long as you use them well, not only can these two hairpins be used to make poison,
but they can also cure poison. The effect of the hairpins as an antidote is even better than acupuncture treatment with silver needles!”
Although Mo Zhu did not expect that the two ordinary silver hairpins would have such effects, with such outstanding abilities, it was reasonable that the girl named Xiao Lan had caught Old Guo’s eye.
The two of them spoke as they walked through the courtyard to the main entrance. At this moment, Huo Xuan was standing at the door, waiting for them quietly.
Seeing Huo Xuan open the door, Mo Zhu took the initiative to take a step forward and pointed at the old man. She introduced, “This is my master. He just came back two days ago and hasn’t settled down yet. He wants to stay here for two days.”
‘When Huo Xuan heard this, he immediately raised his head and greeted the old man politely. “Hello, Master. I’m Huo Xuan, Xiao Zhu’s fiancé.”
Upon hearing Huo Xuan’s words, Old Guo sized the man up seriously and said coldly, “You’re my disciple’s legendary fiancé from a wealthy family?”
After asking this, the old man snorted and continued, “I don’t care which young master you are, nor do I care what other forces you have behind you and how great your power is. My disciple is the most precious to me. If you anger my disciple, don’t blame me for not being nice to you!”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Huo Xuan knew that Elder Guo was doing this for Mo Zhu’s sake. He smiled at the old man’s words. He led the old man to the living room and sat on the sofa.
Not long later, Huo Xuan skillfully prepared five dishes and a soup. After taking a closer look at the portion, it looked sufficient for the three of them.
After placing the dishes on the dining table, Huo Xuan returned to the kitchen and asked Mo Zhu to eat.
‘Mo Zhu adjusted the fire in the pill furnace, washed her hands, and sat at the dining table.
Huo Xuan naturally took out three sets of cutlery and arranged them for the two of them. He took the opportunity to pass Old Guo his chopsticks and said, “Master, I haven’t cooked in a long time. My cooking might be a little rusty. Try it. If it doesn’t taste good, I’ll make another one for you.”
The man’s words were filled with respect and courtesy. As Mo Zhu’s master, Huo Xuan also treated Elder Guo as his own master. He had to take good care of him!
‘When Old Guo heard this, he nodded lightly and picked up his chopsticks to casually take a bite of the food. He tasted it quietly for a few seconds and smiled. “It’s done well. The taste is good.”
At this moment, Mo Zhu was holding the chopsticks Huo Xuan handed her and thinking about the formula for the pill refinement. When she heard Old Man Guo praise Huo Xuan’s cooking, she raised her eyebrows and picked up her chopsticks to try it. Then, she turned to the man and did not say
anything.
The three of them ate for a while before Huo Xuan took the initiative to get up and scoop a bow! of soup for both Old Guo and Mo Zhu. His actions gave Old Guo a good impression of him..
