Chapter 363, The Hua Family Enters the Xuanyuan Mansion

Even after flying a distance away from Xuanyuan Mansion, Hua Changxi's mood had not improved.

Another person says she's heartless!
She just couldn't understand how she was heartless. Did not being tied to her family mean she was heartless?
Hua Changxi felt that both Jing Le and Qin Feng had some almost harsh requirements for the 'strong'. In their minds, the strong should unconditionally help the 'weak', otherwise, they would be heartless.

"Hey~"

Hua Changxi discovered that even now that spiritual energy has revived, she still felt out of place with the people of this world.

"If you have different values, there's no need to force a connection."

Hua Changxi could only console herself in this way, banishing Qin Feng's words from her mind. After taking a deep breath, she quickly flew towards the capital.

Meanwhile, at the Dingyuan Earl's residence.

The Hua family gathered at the guest house, and Hua Dalang and Hua Liulang have also been here with their family for the past two days.

Uncle Hua paced back and forth in the living room with a displeased expression: "What's wrong with Ninth Sister? She went to the Duke of Liang's mansion and then disappeared without a trace. She didn't even mention coming to the Earl's mansion to see us?"

Hua Liulang: "Ninth Sister must have other urgent matters to attend to."

Uncle Hua said, "She's busy, she's really busy. Our whole family can't keep up with what she has to do." He paused, then glanced at Hua Minghe and Yao Shi, "It's one thing for her to ignore us, but she doesn't even care about her own parents who gave birth to her. Ninth Sister is heartless."

Seeing that his eldest son and his wife's expressions had changed, Old Master Hua had no choice but to reprimand his second uncle: "Second son, shut up. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Grandma Hua chimed in, "No matter what, the people from the Duke of Liang's mansion have finally left and stopped keeping watch. Ninth Sister is still thinking about home."

Uncle Hua snorted: "Even if the people from the Duke of Liang's mansion have left, do we dare to go out? What if we lose our lives as soon as we leave the mansion?"

Grandpa Hua was also very worried about this, and looked at his eldest grandson who had been silent all along: "Eldest son, do you really think that our family and the Duke of Liang's mansion can work out?"

Hua Dalang looked at the old man, then at the rest of the Hua family: "Grandfather, we need to be prepared that even if the Duke of Liang's mansion stops bothering us, we must still be extremely vigilant when we go out."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Hua immediately became anxious: "Big Brother, what do you mean? Could it be that we're going to encounter other dangers?"

Hua Dalang: "Let me put it this way, the capital city now is like a chessboard, with the five holy lands, the Xuanyuan Mansion, the royal family, and noble families all vying to make their moves."

"And our family, fortunately and unfortunately, is already a pawn on the chessboard."

Grandpa Hua was alarmed: "How could this happen?"

Uncle Hua Er shouted, "What else could it be? It must be because of Ninth Sister! Father, our family is really going to be ruined by Ninth Sister!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Liulang couldn't help but speak up: "Second Uncle, you can't always blame Jiu Niang for everything. Cultivators are fighting against fate. If you want to ascend, you will encounter dangers."

Hua Dalang chimed in, "Yes, Second Uncle, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Our family is still on the chessboard, and although we are not in control of our own destiny, we can still make some noise. We are not like those who cannot be on the chessboard but die silently."

"Being in the game of chess, one can at least influence the course of events. If one can seize the opportunity to strengthen oneself, a chess piece may one day become a chess player."

Uncle Hua said with a dark face, "I don't have your ambitions. I just want Si Lang and the others to live well."

Hua Dalang chuckled: "Second Uncle, you probably don't know how chaotic the other areas outside the capital are. Not to mention the distant places, just take Nanxiang County, which used to be in the southern suburbs of the capital. Now, the people there are living in dire straits, and the villages are being wiped out one by one."

"In chaotic times, unless you are strong enough, the idea of ​​living well is just wishful thinking."

Uncle Hua was speechless.

The main courtyard of the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence.

Lord Hua and Prince Hua were also talking about Hua Changxi.

Hua Shizi: "What exactly is wrong with Hua Jiuniang? She has shown herself, but she didn't come to visit her family right away. Her behavior is truly baffling."

Even Master Hua couldn't quite understand Hua Changxi's way of thinking.

However, one thing became clear: Hua Changxi didn't really care about the Hua family. After three years apart and being oppressed by the Liang State Duke's Mansion, if he truly cared, he wouldn't have ignored them even if he was busy or had urgent matters to attend to.

Hua Shizi: "Father, our family has provided good food and drink and protected the Hua family for three years. Why do I feel like all our efforts are going to go down the drain?"

Uncle Hua looked at his son and said, "You are too concerned about the immediate gains and losses. Even if we don't get any reward, as long as Hua Changxi is alive and still has the surname Hua, it will be beneficial to us and the entire Hua clan."

Just as Hua Shizi was about to retort, the gatekeeper ran in excitedly: "Lord, Prince, Hua Changxi has arrived."

Upon hearing this, both Master Hua and Young Master Hua stood up.

Prince Hua asked anxiously, "Where is he?"

Gatekeeper: "She's right behind here, the head steward is personally accompanying her. The head steward sent me to ask whether Hua Changxi should be taken directly to the guest courtyard or brought to the main courtyard?"

Uncle Hua simply wrote: "Lead the people to the main courtyard." After going to the guest courtyard, Hua Bin's family was reunited, but they were no longer needed.

Master Hua looked at Young Master Hua and said, "You personally go to the guest courtyard and bring Hua Bin's family over."

Hua Shizi agreed and left one after the other with the gatekeeper.

The guest house where Hua Bin's family stayed was not far from the main house, and Hua Changxi happened to run into the Hua family at the entrance of the main house.

"Ninth Sister".

Yao and Hua Minghe rushed to Hua Changxi's side immediately and took a closer look at her.

"Has your injury healed? We haven't heard from you for three years, your father and I were so worried."

Besides the men of the Hua family, the women of the Hua family also came forward to greet Hua Changxi warmly.

Seeing that the women were talking nonstop, Old Master Hua had to speak up: "Alright, the Earl and the Young Master are still waiting. Let Ninth Sister go in and pay her respects first, and you can chat in detail later."

The women of the Hua family then fell silent. Led by Madam Yao, Hua Changxi and the rest of the group followed Old Master Hua and the others into the main hall of the Earl's Mansion.

Lord Hua did not lower himself to go out and greet Hua Changxi just because Hua Changxi was the most famous junior in the clan. Instead, he sat calmly in the main hall and waited.

After Hua Changxi entered the living room with her family, she took the initiative to give a junior's bow to Uncle Hua: "Thank you for taking care of my family, Uncle."

The Hua family was bullied by the Duke of Liang's mansion, and the Earl's mansion took the initiative to stand up and protect the Hua family. This favor must be acknowledged.

Furthermore, the Hua family members all looked quite well, which showed that the Earl's Mansion had provided very attentive hospitality.

Master Hua laughed and said, "That's not how you should talk. Your whole family are members of the Hua clan, and clan members should help each other out."

Mutual support
Hua Changxi's eyes flickered as she looked at the Hua family members and then at Lord Hua. She couldn't deny that the Lord's Mansion had indeed helped the Hua family overcome a difficult situation this time.

Perhaps the Hua clan isn't entirely incapable of using it?
Hua Dalang looked at Hua Changxi and couldn't help but ask, "Ninth Sister, where have you been these past two days?"

Hua Changxi looked at him, took out a list of Hua family members, stood up and handed it to Old Master Hua, and then said, "I went to the Xuanyuan Mansion, and the five generals agreed to take in all the members of the Hua family."

"After entering the Xuanyuan Mansion, you will join General Lu Zhenting's command. He will assign you tasks based on your talents and aptitudes."

Everyone present was stunned by these words.

Uncle Hua was the first to jump out, asking with a mixture of surprise and delight, "Ninth Sister, are you saying that our whole family are now members of the Xuanyuan Mansion?"

Hua Changxi nodded: "The matter of the Duke of Liang's mansion is my fault for implicating my family. I cannot guarantee that similar things will not happen again in the future, so I can only help you find a place where you can be sheltered."

"Xuanyuan Mansion is the most suitable."
