After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 368 There is a Seed Pill

Who cares about his meal?!

Ningning and Xiaoya, being sword cultivators, had been learning sword techniques from Mo Jiuwei for a long time these past few days, and their skills had improved significantly. They were already itching to test their skills against someone.

Unable to contain themselves any longer, the two jumped to their feet, their hands already on their sword sheaths—

"Who wants to eat with you? We don't need it, fellow Daoist, please leave!"

Fighting is prohibited within the city. The two had no intention of causing trouble for Mo Jiuwei; they only wanted to make a show of force.

If the enemy decides to fight outside the city, they will not be afraid at all!
Hu Xiu's face darkened upon seeing this.

The surrounding diners had already been watching the commotion, and seeing this, they assumed that Hu Xiu was about to make a move, so they couldn't help but feel worried for the women at the table.

But there are also those who love a good show and hope the two sides will start fighting soon, preferably smashing all the tables and plates, so they can skip out on their bill.

"Hmph, it's just about making friends. If you don't want to, you don't have to. Why are you being so fierce..."

Hu Xiu muttered to himself, looking somewhat disappointed, and then tried to leave.

However, some diners who knew Hu Xiu couldn't help but laugh, "Although Young Master Hu acts in a high-profile manner, he only flirts with women and never forces them."

"Yes, he only ever uses the Hu family name to pat himself on the back, but he has never abused his power to bully others."

"The Hu family has always been very dedicated to raising their children, but they've just been unlucky; none of the younger generation has shown any outstanding talent. Alas."

Unexpectedly, Hu Xiu was not angry after being rejected, nor did he seem to want to pester her any further. This surprised the seven maids, who then exchanged glances.

[It seems the Jinrong Auction isn't limited to Canxin City?]

[They seem to have quite a big reputation.]

Although Hu Xiu doesn't seem to be very bright, at least he's polite and not a reckless person, which is quite rare.

Mo Jiuwei sized up Hu Xiu, then suddenly spoke up—

"Brother Hu, please have a seat."

She spoke suddenly, and Hu Xiu didn't react for a moment. It was only after his follower nudged him that he turned around.

He originally planned to go upstairs directly to a private room, where the Hu family has their own private rooms that anyone can enter at any time.

"Did you call me?" he turned around and asked.

“Yes.” Mo Jiuwei smiled. “Didn’t we say we wanted to make friends? We’ve ordered a lot of food, so let’s treat Brother Hu to a meal together. Please have a seat.”

[Hmph, I suppose you wouldn't dare eat a young girl like me.]

"What are you saying! Since you call me brother, this meal is on me!" Hu Xiu was overjoyed after realizing what was happening, and immediately patted his chest. "I have a private room upstairs that's empty. It's much more spacious there than here. If you don't mind, sister, why don't you come upstairs with me? I'll add a few more dishes, and I guarantee you'll have a great time!"

"Okay."

Mo Jiuwei nodded in agreement.

Hu Xiu was overjoyed and quickly ordered the servants and waiters to move the food on Mo Jiuwei's table upstairs. He personally led the way and took them upstairs.

Having heard Mo Jiuwei's "words," the seven maids already knew her plan, so none of them raised any objections. They all silently followed behind, carefully protecting Mo Jiuwei.

They can chat and eat together, but if someone wants to harm their master, they will fight to the death to get rid of him!
Entering the private room, it was indeed much quieter, and also more spacious and comfortable.

“I think Brother Hu is very warm and generous, so I wanted to make friends with you. These seven sisters are my maids. If you want to know their names, I’ll have them introduce themselves,” Mo Jiuwei said as soon as she sat down. “Great, great, that would be wonderful!” Hu Xiu was overjoyed.

"Young Master Hu, I am Huang Ye."

"Hua Yan."

"Xueying".

……

The seven people introduced themselves one by one, their attitude not enthusiastic, but much better than their previous angry glares.

"The seven fairies are truly beautiful, and their names are lovely too!" Hu Xiu praised them highly after hearing this.

“Although they are my maids, I have always treated them like my own sisters.” Mo Jiuwei said, then looked at them, “Don’t be so cold to Brother Hu. He doesn’t have any other intentions. He just wants to get to know us.”

He emphasized the word "knowledge" when he said it.

[We were just getting acquainted, but look, we've already met, haven't we?]

Now that they've met, his request can be considered fulfilled.

Xueying was the first to understand Mo Jiuwei's meaning, and couldn't help but smile and nod, "What Master says is true. We were too cautious. We thought Fellow Daoist Hu was as reckless as other male cultivators, and intended to..."

"What are you saying?" Huang Ye glanced at Xue Ying disapprovingly. "Fellow Daoist Hu has such an upright appearance, how could he be such a vulgar and shameless person!"

“Yes, Fellow Daoist Hu just wants to get to know us and have a chat. How could he possibly have those kinds of thoughts?” Tuanzi chimed in.

Hu Xiu listened with great interest and nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right, I really just want to get to know a few fairies, I won't have any evil thoughts about you! My mother also said that it's not appropriate for me to get married right now, so I just want to make more friends!"

He remained calm, seemingly oblivious to their hidden meaning, and instead genuinely agreed with their words.

"Marry a wife? Then, what about taking a concubine?" Tuanzi probed.

Not getting married is hardly a convincing reason.

"Taking a concubine?" Hu Xiu was taken aback. "My Hu family never takes concubines, nor do we accept husbands."

It's actually monogamy?
This surprised the seventh maid, because the Hu family was a large and powerful family, and it was rare for such families to have only one husband and one wife.

"Yes, this is the ancestral precept of my Hu family, it's the rule." Hu Xiu said seriously, "Our ancestors said that only by focusing on one thing and one Daoist partner can one do things well and do them well."

"Amazing!" Mo Jiuwei said earnestly, "No wonder Brother Hu seems like a good person. It turns out that this is a family tradition of excellent qualities. That's really great!"

"Really?" Hu Xiu was a little embarrassed. "Little sister, you're the first girl to praise me as a good person."

"What about the other girls?" Huang Ye asked curiously.

"They look down on me and don't want to talk to me. Even if they do, they don't genuinely want to be friends with me," Hu Xiu said, somewhat disappointed.

Then, without Mo Jiuwei and the others asking, Hu Xiu poured out his grievances.

In short, he's too ugly.

He was the ugliest in the entire Hu family. His father was handsome, his mother was beautiful, and his older sisters were all great beauties. Only he was the ugly one.

Because of this, even though he claimed to be the young master of the Hu family with an extraordinary background, very few female cultivators were genuinely willing to be his friends.
