CHAPTER 325: CHAPTER 325

In an instant, the servants didn’t dare to breathe, becoming even more cautious around Changgui.

The phrase "Miss Chen" took on a whole new level of understanding among the servants.

Even the words of the young Changgui were taken at face value by the young master, without any investigation. What if that Lan Xin was actually innocent...?

The servants dared only to murmur a few words in their hearts. Although they were now much more cautious, it was actually better than serving in other households.

Lan Xin is the first such case; in the past, when the young master held someone accountable, there was always a process. Even for the servants, evidence was required. But this time... the servants attributed this variable to Chen Muxue connected with Changgui.

Actually, they weren’t wrong, but Changgui and Chen Muxue were just part of the reason. A large part was because Lan Xin happened to remind Huo Lian of who she was, and Huo Lian didn’t have a good impression of her at all. Moreover, Cen Lizhui, as an Immortal Sect Disciple, personally brought Lan Xin here. If she hadn’t been caught poisoning at the scene, Cen Lizhui’s attitude wouldn’t have been so obvious.

But the servants didn’t understand. They just felt that since Changgui said it and it involved "Miss Chen," Huo Lian believed it. This "illegitimate child legend" in the Huo family was likely to become more and more dramatic.

"How is Miss Chen?" Huo Lian asked politely.

Cen Lizhui nodded slightly, "She’s fine, already awake."

"Is Miss Chen truly immune to all poisons?" Huo Lian was somewhat curious.

After all, Lan Xin was a servant of the Huo family, and the poison she used must have been potent. Could Miss Chen really have survived it unscathed?

Cen Lizhui was somewhat speechless, "If she were immune to all poisons, wouldn’t that make her a Divine Beast? She probably had some Magic Treasure for protection, which inadvertently saved her life."

Huo Lian nodded on the surface, but internally he disagreed. According to the information dug up by the Second Prince, the Qian Ding Sect was exceptionally powerful a long, long time ago. What if they actually crafted an Elixir that made one immune to all poisons? Or perhaps, as written in some Monster Chronicles, they "refined" Chen into a special physique similar to a Divine Beast. That’s not impossible.

He couldn’t help but glance at Changgui, a living example of transformation, from No Spiritual Root to a high-grade Spirit Root. If he hadn’t believed that Qian Ding Sect had the means to refine a person, he wouldn’t have thought so.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt he must seize Changgui. Rumor had it that Changgui had obtained many secret techniques of Qian Ding Sect, possibly containing methods for refining people...

Compared to the complex and risky method of taking Elixir and rebuilding one’s body, who wouldn’t be tempted by the idea of directly refining a person to become stronger?

Perhaps Huo Lian’s calculations were too intense and disturbed Cen Lizhui, as Cen Lizhui felt uncomfortable staying here. He beckoned to Changgui, "Come, let’s go back and see how the Sect Leader is doing. Perhaps Little Flower has also awakened."

Changgui nodded and casually said to Huo Lian, "Uncle Huo Lian, I’m leaving now!"

Huo Lian also waved nonchalantly, his familiarity making Cen Lizhui even more uneasy.

How are they like real uncle and nephew? Could it be that Huo Lian likes raising children, considering adopting? Surely not, Huo Lian is only in his twenties, and Changgui is already over eight...

Shaking off the bizarre thoughts, as they returned to the Huo Family’s Villa, they were captivated by an enchanting aroma.

"What a wonderful smell! Could it be... could it be?!" Changgui’s excited heart and trembling hands couldn’t be restrained, and he ran towards the source of the fragrance, leaving Cen Lizhui behind.
