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

Chapter 369

He's not stupid; he can tell whether the other person is sincere or not.

Having been rejected so many times, he has become accustomed to it and learned not to force things. For example, after being scolded by the maids for trying to chat someone up today, he decided to leave.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and Mo Jiuwei actually agreed.

Everyone:...

Even the seven maids who initially had some reservations about him softened their expressions and became somewhat sympathetic.

I wanted to offer some comfort, like saying something like, "You're not ugly," but when I opened my mouth, I realized... I couldn't say anything at all.

They didn't know how good-looking the Hu family members were, but Hu Xiu's appearance was indeed considered quite ugly among all the male cultivators.

How can I comfort her?

"People are so superficial. How can someone as good as Brother Hu be judged on looks alone?" Mo Jiuwei slapped the table with her small hand. "I think you're a great person!"

Hu Xiu was touched. "Really? Little sister... By the way, what's your name?"

"My surname is Mo, and my given name is Jiuwei," Mo Jiuwei said with a smile. "Brother Hu, are you really that concerned about your appearance?"

"How can I not care, Sister Jiuwei!" Hu Xiu sighed. "I want to ignore it, but the people around me are constantly reminding me that I'm ugly and I don't look like a member of the Hu family. It's really upsetting!"

Mo Jiuwei sized him up and asked, "Did something happen to your mother when she was pregnant with you?"

"Huh?" Hu Xiu was taken aback. "What do you mean by 'something happened'? I haven't heard my mother mention it."

"I was poisoned before, but the poison was cured later."

"This... I don't know. Are you saying my appearance is because my mother was poisoned?" Hu Xiu asked in surprise.

"It is possible."

"Is that so? Then I'll go ask my mother!" Hu Xiu seemed very agitated. "If that's really the reason, then my mother has to apologize to me! She's the one who calls me ugly the most!"

Not only her, but also her sisters, would always shake their heads and sigh when they looked at his face.

If it's because of drugs, then he's a victim!
"Well, you might as well go and ask." Mo Jiuwei nodded. "If that's really the case, then there's a kind of pill that's right for your condition."

It's highly likely.

Being ugly isn't so bad, but looking completely different from the rest of the family is unusual. Furthermore, he has a small indentation on his forehead, which strongly suggests poisoning.

[But even his mother probably doesn't remember this.]

"Really? Then I'll go right now... Sister Jiuwei, wait for me here!"

"Hey, don't worry, let's exchange a communication talisman. If we can't make it today, we can arrange to meet another day."

"well."

After hastily exchanging communication talismans, Hu Xiu rushed out.

He kept his word; even in such a hurry, he still made sure to pay the bill before leaving.

As soon as he left, the entire private room became quiet.

Mo Jiuwei smiled and urged the maids to eat, "Alright, now it's all ours, eat up."

Qi Qi burst out laughing, "Master, you did this on purpose!"

Hu Xiu ordered a lot of dishes, but only sat down and drank a glass of wine. He left in a hurry without even touching the dishes.

Now they've left behind a huge table of delicious food, all of which has benefited them. "Believe me, he cares more about his reputation than this meal," Mo Jiuwei said.

The maids nodded without a doubt.

Meanwhile, Hu Xiu, accompanied by his follower Kuku, ran and rushed to the auction house across the street in just a few strides.

Hu Xiu's mother, also known as Fairy Ruojiu, was still busy at the moment, seemingly appraising the items brought by customers.

Hu Xiu was getting anxious and sent a telepathic message, but received no response.

"Young master, don't worry. Fairy Ren is currently entertaining guests and it's inconvenient for her to reply to your message. Just wait until she's finished," a maid from the auction house said, trying to comfort him when she saw his anxious expression.

"Oh dear, I know, but I'm really anxious! Sister Xiaoxiao, could you please go in and urge her for me?"

"Uh, I really can't go in. Fairy Ren will be angry. Let's wait a bit longer."

Hu Xiu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Well, he was originally planning to go back to the restaurant as soon as he finished asking questions here, so he might be able to chat with Sister Mo.

It seems unlikely that we'll make it in time.

Almost half an hour later, Fairy Ruojiu, having finished her business, finally came out.

"Your magic weapon will be available at the first auction at the beginning of next month. If it's convenient for you, you can come and watch. If you're too busy and trust us, you don't have to come. Just wait to receive the crystals."

"Of course I believe in the fairy and your esteemed auction house."

Hu Xiu stood up and watched expectantly as his mother escorted the customer to the door. Only after Ruojiu Fairy turned around did he call out, "Mother! You're finally done!"

If the wine fairy is a stunning beauty, as radiant as the morning sun. She is tall, with broad shoulders, a slender waist, and long legs. She is a bright and elegant woman, and her red lips always wear a smile that is as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Only when she saw her ugly son did she stop laughing. "What are you yelling for? Can't you act a little more composed!"

"Mother, I have something urgent to tell you. Please come and talk to me."

Hu Xiu grabbed his mother and, once they were alone, spoke up, "Were you poisoned when you were pregnant with me?"

Ren Ruojiu was about to scold him for being rash when she was taken aback by what she heard. "What poisoning?"

"Oh dear, think back carefully before you tell me, this is very important!" Hu Xiu reminded him anxiously, "Those who have been poisoned but were quickly cured also count."

"Nothing of the sort. Why are you suddenly asking this?" Ren Ruojiu rolled her eyes at him. "Mother has things to do. If you have nothing to do, go home and cultivate. Stop taking Afei and Apao around trying to flirt with female cultivators. What kind of behavior is that!"

Ren Ruojiu thought her son was just being silly. She did have a lot of things to deal with, so she left in a hurry after answering him.

"Oh, Mother..." Hu Xiu couldn't stop her and stomped his foot in anger.

When he returned to the restaurant, he found that the person had already finished eating and left, so Hu Xiu had no choice but to go home.

Ren Ruojiu was so busy that it was evening when she happened to hear from her maid Xiaoxiao that her son had been waiting for her for half an hour.

"He waited for half an hour?"

"Yes, and it was a real rush. If I hadn't stopped him, he probably would have rushed in to find you."

"Ah, I was wrong." Ren Ruojiu rubbed her forehead. "It seems he really has something important to say, but I didn't listen carefully. Oh well, I'll go home and find him now, and see what he wants to know."

At this point, Hu Xiu had already received the answer from his biological father.

"Your mother was indeed poisoned when she was pregnant with you. How do you know that?"
