On the whole, Hua Liting treated Hua Qiyue neither well nor bad, but compared with Hua Liting’s other two daughters, Hua Qiyue was treated really bad.

Nowadays, his other two daughters made a mistake, but he blamed Hua Qiyue for it.

Indeed, he shouldn’t have done it!

Hua Qiyue smiled slightly and said, “Dad, don’t worry. It’s normal to make mistakes, but I’ve given them many chances. However, I’ve been bullied by my two young sisters over and over again. So, I think it’s a good idea to cultivate them.”

Hua Liting looked very terrible. He looked at the flowers outside the window which wasn’t far, and finally sighed slightly and said, “Qiyue, you’ve been through a very hard time over these years! And I feel so sorry for this.”

While Hua Qiyue kept calm because she knew what Hua Liting was thinking very well. After all, as a general, Hua Liting naturally hoped that his children would have good prospects.

And he wouldn’t pay much attention to those who weren’t outstanding or had let him down.

In the age of strength, power meant everything!

“You’re welcome, Dad. But Dad, you’re still at the stage of the great completeness of Soaring Cloud. Why not have a bowl of ginseng soup that I’ve had the cook made, or have some pills made by the pharmacist to increase your speed. They’re good for you,” Hua Qiyue smiled and said, totally refusing to argue with Hua Liting.

Hua Liting paused and a hint of smile rose from his eyes, saying, “Fine! Fine! Although you’re very popular now, I still want you to be more low-key… You know, everyone knows that you own the magic medicine, and I’m afraid that many people will covet the medicine.”

“Dad, don’t worry, I’ll be careful,” Hua Qiyue said and felt warm in her hurt. Indeed, she was so humble in front of Hua Liting. Of course, Hua Liting should care about her, but she was still surprised that he would do it.

After chatting with Old Madame Hua, Hua Qiyue left and asked Caining and Caiqing to send some magic medicine to Prince Nan’s mansion because she wanted Prince Nan to manufacture some medicine pellets to increase the cultivation speed.

This time, Yun Shimo didn’t refuse. After coming back to the mansion, Caining and Caiqing handed a letter to Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue roughly read the letter and found there were formulas of some pills.

“Yun Shimo is really a nerd! He can use no matter how many medicines he wants, but he wrote a prescription to me! I’m busy now!” Hua Qiyue snorted and threw the paper into a trash can.

Caining and Caiqing twitched their mouth. Actually, Prince Nan had spent some time writing this prescription, so, there must be something important on the paper. However, Hua Qiyue threw it away after only a glance at it!

—

In Qifeng Palace.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“You b*stards! You didn’t do it neatly, and she is a woman. I’m so disappointed in you!”

First Prince knocked the tea set beside him to the ground, while Queen Liu sat there calmly without any move.

She was the Queen of the country and she had to keep calm no matter what situation she faced, otherwise, she would fell from power sooner or later.

Queen Liu was wearing her gorgeous phoenix coronet and her ring, which was as large as a pigeon egg and reflected a cold light. Besides, she had put on glamorous make-up. She must have taken good care of her health because she looked like a woman of twenty-seven or eight though she was over forty.

“First Prince, I’m surprised that you’re so angry with such a woman. It’s improper to act like this if you’re enthroned to be the Emperor in the future, isn’t it?” Queen Liu said calmly and she took a sip of her tea. And then, the vicious look in her eyes generally turned to a excited look and she said, “Hua Qiyue is very smart. She’s a really good opponent to me. Nice! Nice!”

First Prince was sitting there out of breath and looked at the Queen in confusion.

Actually, they had lost to Hua Qiyue for several times, but the Queen didn’t worry about it at all.

Queen Liu looked strange and then she said, “Yu’er, you should take your time to deal with such a woman. But you shouldn’t conquer her at once. If she’s easy to deal with, I wouldn’t resort to your grandfather.”

First Prince looked at the Queen in surprise and said, “Mother, you mean, we’ll cooperate with the grandfather?”

“Yes. After all, Hua Qiyue is supported by some mysterious force, so, we can have a chance to win only if we take action secretly. Besides, even Prince Nan, Ji family, and others stand up for her…”

The Queen took a sip of her tea. According to the current situation, it seemed strange because Hua Qiyue was waiting for something after suffering losses.

“Now, she’s collecting Nine-horned Dragon openly. You know, it’s the Magic Core of the evil beast at the seventh stage. I’m afraid that she’s doing it to strengthen the power of the person behind her… Thus, we’ll have to take action!”

Queen Liu sounded a little fatigued, but she was reluctant to show her tiredness in front of First Prince. The thing was greatly beyond Queen Liu’s expectation because Hua Qiyue was too strong.

“Indeed, queen mother, let’s do it at once!”

First Prince Huangfu Changyu was too worried about it. Hua Qiyue was indeed very beautiful, but she had let him lose face and he couldn’t tolerate it.

“Relax, everything is under control.”

—

Eight pretty girls in red leisurely entered the secret chamber of Liu’s Mansion with saucers. They walked with their slim and charming waists wriggling and they put the tea, desserts, and fruits on the stone table.

There were four people sitting around the stone table, and three of them were about fifty to sixty years old, the other was relatively young and handsome. All of them looked very serious without any speech.

The gate of the chamber was tightly closed after those pretty girls left, and there was no other one in the chamber.

“This time, I convened the meeting because I have something to discuss with all of you,” Liu Mo said and his gray eyes were filled with coldness.

“We all know that these days, Hua Qiyue has been collecting Magic Cores of Nine-horned Dragon publicly, and she also auctioned the magic medicines. She not only auctioned Long Reds but also sold ten Ginsengs with Nine Souls which were the legendary magic medicines! She even sold Back-to-Reality Grasses!” Liu Mo said and his voice shocked everyone!

Many people really desired for such magic medicines.

“However, she sold them for a sky-high price. Half a million for one Long Red and one million taels of gold for one Ginseng with Nine Souls. The price really drove people crazy! There must be someone who is strong and powerful behind her, and this person must also own many magic medicines.” Liu Mo took a sip of his tea and observed everyone’s facial expression.

The House Master of Baili’s family was a little shocked, while the House Master of Xia’s family frowned and no one knew what he was thinking. Ouyang Youche, who had been promoted as the young master of Ouyang’s family, attended the meeting as the representative of his family.

Ouyang Youche was the calmest one, and he was just gently eating fruits and wasn’t shocked by what Liu Mo had said at all.

“If this woman develops like this, she’ll threaten the Four Great Families. I have an idea, but I’m wondering if you’re interested in it,” Liu Mo said in a low voice as if he were afraid that others heard what he had said.

“What’s your idea? We’ll follow you if you can make Hua Qiyue will give out a large amount of the magic medicines!”

The House Master of Xia’s family said coldly. Four Great Families had once visited Hua’s Mansion to ingratiate themselves with Hua Qiyue, but she accepted nothing, which let Four Great Families lose face.

“Let’s gather all the Qi Artists of Four Great Families to kill Hua Qiyue!”

Immediately, a wisp of crazy light rose from Liu Mo’s gray eyes.

“House Master Liu, according to the terms of Changjing Kingdom, Qi Artists shouldn’t kill each other!” Ouyang Youche said and frowned, obviously, he disagreed with this idea. “Besides, the force behind Hua Qiyue is mysterious, so, we’ll suffer a fatal disaster if we take a rash move. If the Emperor knows, he’ll probably think that we intend to rob the royal’s resources, which will be more troublesome!”

“Young master Ouyang, you’ve worried too much. The rules are made by people, and they can also be revised by people. Hua Qiyue’s magic medicines are royal resources… Humph, at that time, we’ll overturn the royal family and enthrone First Prince, is that okay?” Liu Mo said and laughed coldly. Everyone was surprised that Liu Mo was really cunning and he killed two birds with only one stone!

And would the other three families be taken advantages by him?

“Don’t worry. Once we cooperate with each other, the magic medicines will be mainly distributed to you three families, and it doesn’t matter if our Liu’s family get fewer medicines,” Liu Mo said and smiled coldly. He could read others’ minds after a glance at their faces.

House Master Xia and House Master Bali looked at each other without any speech, and they both were thinking about Liu Mo’s plan.

“Young Master Ouyang, please don’t worry. Although the force behind Hua Qiyue is very strong and powerful, they can’t deal with all the Qi Artists from Four Great Families, can they?”

Liu Mo laughed coldly and said, “We have investigated that Xuanji entered Magic Beasts Forest and went to Moyuan, but he has never come back. Hua Qiyue has no strong and powerful force to rely on except Prince Nan and Ji family.”

Others looked at each other, and they had also known about this.

They hadn’t made a move because of the intervention of Prince Nan and the Ji family. Besides, they also feared that mysterious person in some way.

But now Liu’s family took the lead, and at the thought of those magic medicines which were difficult to find and the profit brought by these magic medicines, they grew interested in the plan.

While Ouyang Youche calmly took a sip of his tea with a crystal clear look in his eyes.

After a cup of tea, House Master Baili cleared his throat and said, “If Hua Qiyue still has some hiding forces, what should we do?”

“Yes. If she hides her own strenth and her forces, that would be troublesome!” House Master Xia also asked worriedly.

Liu Mo was very glad after hearing this because according to their tones, he knew that they were interested in his idea. But these people were greedy and worried about everything, what cunning foxes they were!

“No! We’ve investigated her. She regards her adopted son as her life, but she let it go after we attacked her son twice. Besides… Master Shui Qianruo also poisoned her, but he’s still safe and sound, isn’t he? No poisons can attack Hua Qiyue, but she did nothing though others bullied her, even ordinary Qi Artists won’t let this go. This can prove that she isn’t strong enough!”

Liu Mo said in a high spirit.

Ouyang Youche squinted and he didn’t expect that Hua Qiyue and Prince Nan really had been poisoned, and Shui Qianruo actually did it.

“In this way, what are the odds of winning if we really cooperate with each other?” House Master Baili was still a little worried.

“Take it easy, we’ll definitely win! We Four Great Families are so strong and powerful that we won’t lose to Hua Qiyue! And the only thing we should do to deal with her is to draw Prince Nan away!”

Liu Mo said confidently.

Others were in silence again and they were considering whether it was worthy of the risks.
