Volume 1: Strife of the Azure Sky 004 Mutual Non-Indebtedness

  The whole audience was silent.

  The living room was left with only Huo Tianhua's angry gasps for breath.

  At this time, a figure walked to the side of Huo Tianhua, gently held his arm, patted his back to help him breathe: "Dad, don't be angry."

  Soft voice like a gentle breeze passing by.

  Mu Qingfeng slightly narrowed her eyes, this eldest daughter of the Huo family, Huo Xuetting, who had been standing on one side from the very beginning without saying a word, was absolutely not a simple character.

  But it doesn't matter now, does it?

  Mo Qingfeng smiled to herself, lifted her head, and with a pale face, tear-stained eyes, and trembling lips, she whispered: "I... my father..."

  Huo Tianhua originally suppressed his anger for the sake of his eldest daughter, but now it surged up again. He lifted his hand and put down Huo Xuetting's hand, then walked to Mu Qingfeng's side, holding her hand and saying: "Child, I'm sorry, I've neglected you all these years."

  Huo Xuetang's expression changed slightly, but quickly recovered, only to gaze at Mu Qingfeng with a deeper meaning.

  Mù Qīngfēng bit her lip, shook her head and softly called out: "Father."

  Huo Tianhua was called by this soft and small "dad", making him feel extremely guilty in his heart. This child is too thin, how did these people usually treat this child?

  Suddenly, Huo Tianhua's eyes turned cold, and a dark bruise on the back of Mu Qingfeng's neck also faintly appeared.

  Huo Tianhua's gaze made Mu Qingfeng take a step back, his expression tense and fearful.

  Huo Tianhua's hand trembled as he reached out to touch Mu Qingfeng's head: "I'm sorry, child, I'm sorry."

  Huo Tianhua finished speaking, his tone suddenly changed, and he looked coldly at Liu Guanjia: "Liu Guanjia, I want to hear the truth from you. Tell me everything. What kind of life has Qingfeng been living all these years when I wasn't around?"

  Liu Guan's gaze turned towards Mu Qingfeng.

  Mu Qingfeng also looked towards Liu Guan's house, his eyes pitch black, without a hint of fear or tension.

  But it was such an eye contact, Liu Guan's family understood.

  Liu Guan lowered his head and slowly spoke out all the intentional disregard of the first wife, the bullying of the second wife, and the actions of the young masters and misses over the years.

  No need for any embellishment, it was enough to turn Ho Tin-wah's face from iron-gray to pitch-black.

  As Liu Guan's family spoke each sentence, the faces of others present turned whiter.

  Mocheng Feng secretly laughed in her heart. Liu Guan's words had also made up her mind to leave, and this Liu Guan was indeed a clever person.

  Sometimes smart people don't always do smart things.

  After Liu Guan finished speaking, it was a long time before Huo Tianhua took a deep breath, picked up the teacup and drank a mouthful: "Liu Guan's house, go and get me all the account books and deeds from the accounting room at home, as well as the box in the secret compartment."

  Liu Guan's family was stunned.

  The two madams and three younger brothers were all shocked at once.

  Liu Guan's family Zhang Zhang mouth wanted to say something, but was choked back by the sound of Huo Tianhua putting down his teacup, and could only slowly walk towards the accounting room.

  Mo Qingfeng didn't understand what Huo Tianhua wanted to do for the time being and could only remain silent.

  But others looked at her with gritted teeth, especially Liu Rong and Huo Xueman, who were now so angry that they would have liked to bite the six-year-old girl in front of them to death.

  However, the two of them were clever and chose not to speak up, lest they be defeated by Mu Qingfeng's single sentence and become a laughing stock.

  "Light Wind, I said today I would give you an explanation, and I will definitely do so." Huo Tianhua stepped forward and picked up Mu Light Wind, placing her on the main seat, while he himself stood to the side.

  Mo Qingfeng's temples jumped, but fortunately at this time Liu Guan brought in a box and held a large stack of paper deeds.

  Huo Tianhua took everything from Liu Guan's hands and first handed the box to Mu Qingfeng: "This was left by your father for you, originally I wanted to give it to you on your 16th birthday, but..."

  Huo Tianhua turned around and gave his wife and child a cold glance before picking up that stack of IOUs.

  "Good sir, absolutely not!"

  "Good sir, absolutely not!"

  Two women's voices sounded simultaneously like a duet, and both Lu Shi and Liu Rong took a few steps forward, looking at the stack of paper contracts with excited expressions.

  What a joke.

  Just now they didn't dare to speak, but can they just watch as their husband gives all the family property to Mu Qingfeng, this six-year-old little girl? No, this six-year-old demon?

  "Shut up." Huo Tianhua didn't even turn his head, directly scolding him with a sentence. He then placed the deed in Mu Qingfeng's hand. "This is two-thirds of the city lord's estate. If it weren't for your father's help back then, I wouldn't have my current status and wealth. Qingfeng, today I'm transferring all of this to your name."

  Mo Qingfeng looked up at Huo Tianhua, she thought this man was either too sentimental and impulsive, or a bit foolish, or perhaps a bit cunning.

  And Hawick Lau made this decision was indeed not a momentary impulse, but rather a well-considered one in all aspects. Of course, there are some things that cannot be told to outsiders.

  Mo Qingyu replayed Huo Tianhua's words in her mind, and a decision began to take shape.

  "Dad, are...are you really going to do this?" Huo Xueman stepped forward, pointing at Mu Qingfeng, but didn't dare utter another insult.

  Huo Xueteng couldn't help but step forward: "Dad, can't we discuss anything?"

  "Husband, if you really do this, how can our family survive?" Lu's expression was sorrowful, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Huo Tianhua.

  "If we really do this, then... " Liu Rong gritted her teeth, "we'll get divorced!"

  Liu Guan's intestines are now green with regret. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to let Mu Qingfeng leave, but he didn't expect that stealing a chicken would result in losing the rice.

  Huo Tianhua turned around and looked at his wives and children. He smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know that the father of Qing Feng can destroy us with just a snap of his fingers?"

  He didn't want to say it, but under the current circumstances, he had no choice but to reveal part of the truth: "Although our family is a martial arts practitioner and is considered a master in the eyes of ordinary people, we are also the city lord's family. But there is one kind of person that we absolutely cannot afford to provoke..."

  He Tianhua said this, and Liu Rong and Lu's faces immediately turned white.

  There is only one kind of person that the powerful dare not provoke.

  Master's degree

  Cultivator of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, the most supreme and noble cultivator on the continent.

  But those who possess a Master's talent are extremely rare, almost one in ten thousand, which has led to the prestigious status of Masters on the continent.

  Rumor has it that a powerful cultivator can make the heavens collapse and the earth shatter with just a snap of their fingers, let alone flying through the skies or escaping into the ground. In their eyes, cultivators are like gods.

  Mysterious and powerful, not to be trifled with.

  Liu Rong and Lu Shi didn't dare to speak anymore, looking at Mu Qingfeng's eyes also left fear and regret, provoking a cultivator would be an unbearable consequence for them.

  At this moment, Mu Qingfeng, who had been silent all along, moved her eyes and seemed to think that the father of this life should be an extraordinary person. She also urgently needed to understand what kind of pattern this world was.

  But now there's something even more important, she got down from the chair, pointing at that stack of IOUs, her black eyes narrowing: "These will all be mine starting today if I agree, right?"

  Miao Qingfeng's words made the two madams and others tremble with rage, but they gritted their teeth and shut their mouths.

  Huo Tianhua nodded slightly: "Yes."

  She slightly raised the corner of her mouth, picked up that stack of IOUs, looked at the gaze of those people, smiled and put the IOUs back on the table: "You've supported me for six years, consider these as nurturing fees. From now on, we owe each other nothing."

  Mo Qingfeng's words obviously made the entire council chamber fall silent again, with jaws dropping to the ground, and Huo Tianhua's eyes widening like bronze bells.

  "From now on..." Mu Qingfeng's words suddenly took a sharp turn, his eyes narrowing as he gazed coldly at Liu Rong and the others, "It would be best if you didn't fall into my hands!"
