The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Yuan He is both a teacher and a father to Ji Hanyan. That's why he was willing to give up Wangchao even though he knew the value of Wangchao. When Ji Hanyan found out what he did, he was a little panicked at first, but then he became calm. He didn't mind her knowing, and was even willing to share the results with her, but he was afraid that she was too soft-hearted and couldn't accept it for a while.

"You woke up much earlier than I expected. It seems that your cultivation has improved a lot in recent days."

Yuan He nodded with satisfaction, his tone was so light as if nothing had happened, just like every time he guided Ji Hanyan in practicing martial arts in the back mountains.

"Master..."

Ji Hanyan staggered out, as if she would fall down at the next moment. Yuan He stepped forward to support her, blocking her view with his body.

"Sleep a little longer, I will be able to handle it soon."

He was like a kind elder, his eyes full of concern.

Ji Hanyan held Yuan He's hand tightly, still unwilling to give up and asked: "Master, is that really Wangchao?"

Yuan He looked at her silently without saying a word.

Ji Hanyan understood. The man whose heart was cut out, thrown into the water, and used as a furnace was really Wangchao.

"Why?" Ji Hanyan asked with a sob, "Master, how could you do such a cruel thing?"

Yuan He patted her back gently, as if he was comforting a crying child.

"Child, the master is old."

He didn't say anything else, but just turned his gaze towards the cauldron.

Ji Hanyan followed his gaze and understood everything at once.

She had heard that someone killed a demon to obtain elixir to practice magic. Although this method was twice as effective with half the effort, it was extremely detrimental to one's virtue and was despised by the righteous. Yuan He had been pursuing immortality all his life, but she had never expected that he would be so obsessed with it.

Ji Hanyan looked around. Although this cave was simple, it was definitely not dug in a hurry. Considering Yuan He's frequent retreats in the past two years, could he have started it a long time ago?

"They are just some low-class beasts, which are exactly what I need. Just kill them. They are not worth your worrying about."

There was arrogance in Yuan He's words that looked down on the world. Ji Hanyan suddenly felt unfamiliar with the person in front of her. Was this still the master she had always admired in her heart?

Ji Hanyan suffered a heavy blow to her heart. She felt a little weak and it was only because Yuan He held her up with both hands that she did not fall down.

"No! This is not right." She struggled in despair and pain, but still tried to persuade Yuan He.

"Are you accusing the teacher?"

Yuan He began to feel unhappy. He doted on Ji Hanyan, but that didn't mean he could accept her accusations. Was he not good enough to her? Why did she oppose him?

"Han Yan, you are too weak. Today I will teach you something new. There is more than one Tao."

Yuan He grabbed Ji Hanyan from behind, put a sharp dagger in her hand, and whispered something seductive in her ear.

"Proving the truth through killing is also a form of practice."

Ji Hanyan seemed to be bewildered by Yuan He and allowed him to push her step by step towards Yu Yao on the ground.

"Yuan He, you despicable villain! She is your apprentice, you can't treat her like this!"

Yuan He looked back at the frustrated Wang Chao and smiled victoriously.

"Ji Hanyan! Wake up! Cheer up!"

Wangchao's voice brought some of Ji Hanyan's consciousness back to her senses. She looked down at the dagger in her hand, her mind in a struggle.

Suddenly, she broke free from the grip, turned around and pointed the dagger at Yuan He.

Yuan He's face turned cold, and he said sarcastically, "What? Are you going to betray your master and ancestors?"

"Master, please let them go." Ji Hanyan turned the dagger upside down and put it against her neck. She could never become an enemy of her master, so she could only take a gamble.

"Are you threatening me?"

Yuan He's tone was filled with anger. Ji Hanyan had always been well-behaved and obedient, but today, she had gone against him again and again for the sake of the two monsters. He wanted to kill them immediately, not caring about how valuable they were.

Ji Hanyan was frightened by the murderous intent in Yuan He's eyes. She raised her knife and cut a wound on his cheek so deep that the bone could be seen.

This happened so fast that Yuan He had no time to stop her. He could only look at her anxiously and angrily.

"What are you doing?"

"I, Ji Hanyan, swear here that I will never marry and will obey Master's orders in the future and will never disobey."

"you……"

"Master, there are so many monsters in the world. I will help you find as many as you want. Please let them go."

Ji Hanyan knelt on the ground, crying like a tearful person, the wound on her face was still bleeding, Yuan He felt heartbroken.

He was angry at their lack of resistance but could do nothing about it, so he had no choice but to let them go.

Forget it, let them go for now, there is still a long way to go.

Hua Miaomiao listened to the whole story. To be honest, she didn't know whether she should sympathize more with Wang Chao or the girl named Ji Hanyan.

Miao Yizhu patted her shoulder to comfort her. She felt a little sympathetic towards Wang Chao, and the look she gave him was no longer as cold and hard as before.

Hua Miaomiao looked at the two poor creatures, and a motherly feeling of protecting her children arose spontaneously.

"Are you going to continue fetching water for him every day? This is just a drop in the bucket."

"I understand, but I can't think of any other solution at the moment."

"Xiaoyu, come with me, let's find a solution together."

"We are demons, do you mind?"

"I have many friends in the demon tribe, and they all have powerful backers. Maybe they have a way."

"it is good."

Yu Yao brought Wang Chao and cast a spell to let everyone return to the top of the cliff.

As soon as she came up, Hua Miaomiao was happy.

There were wolves surrounding the top of the cliff, and Mr. Zhu was trying to drive them away with a stick. He was obviously terrified, but he still insisted on protecting Xiaoyu behind him.

In order to protect his dignity as a man, Xiaoyu had to hide behind him as he wished. She held some gravel in her hand, ready to attack at any time.

Several sharp arrows flew through the wind, the leader wolf was injured and fled with the pack.

Hua Miaomiao looked at Mr. Zhu with interest. It was rare to see him in such a state of disgrace.

"Sir, you are so brave, fighting alone against a pack of wolves."

There was some sincerity in these words. For a weak scholar like him, it was a courageous act for him to think of protecting the woman behind him in times of crisis.

Mr. Zhu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Excuse me, everyone. It turns out that scholars are useless."

Hua Miaomiao explained the matter of Yu Yao and Wang Chao to them.

"That Cang Cui Shan is the leader of Xuanmen, how could he do such a sinister thing?"

Xiaoyu said indignantly. She has always been soft-hearted and easily sympathizes with the weak. At this time, she took the initiative to take care of Wangchao. She is used to taking care of people and is very good at it.

Yu Yao looked at everyone with great gratitude. This time he was no longer alone and helpless.

The team grew larger, and Hua Miaomiao suddenly felt dazed as she watched the two carriages coming one after the other. It was as if she had returned to that time overnight, and the next second that person would lift the curtain and smile at her foolishly.

On the way, Mr. Zhu developed a high fever and fell into a coma. The doctor said that he might have caught a cold from the rain and then suffered a lot of shocks, so he could not recover from the illness.

Hua Miaomiao looked helplessly at the addition of another patient to the team and shook her head repeatedly.

At night, Xiaoyu came to see Hua Miaomiao. She was restless and hesitant to speak. Even Miao Yizhu, who was always hard-hearted, felt that something was wrong with her.

Miao Yizhui put his hand on her shoulder and stopped her.

"Sister Xiaoyu, you're walking around the room without saying a word. Do you want to smooth the floor of this inn?"

"Miss Cousin!"

"Okay, Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?"

"Miss, I saw a purse hanging around Mr. Yu's waist today."

Miao Yizhu disagreed, "How strange is that? It was probably given by someone he likes. But I can't believe that someone like Yu Yao would have a crush on someone."

"What's wrong with Xiaoyu? He's just honest and simple." Hua Miaomiao couldn't help but defend her friend.

"Miss!" Xiaoyu looked at Hua Miaomiao with a complicated expression.

Hua Miaomiao always felt that there was something else behind her words, so she asked uncertainly: "What do you think that purse looks like?"

"White brocade, embroidered with the family crest of my Hua family." Xiaoyu's words were tentative.

When Miao Yizhui heard this, he suddenly became curious.

"The Hua family has all the stuff, it can't be you, cousin..."

"How is that possible! Of course not!" Hua Miaomiao denied it repeatedly. She refused to take the blame.

"That was given to them by Hua Yao's ancestors. And it's not a love pouch, it's just a magic weapon!"

Xiaoyu and Miao Yizhuo looked at each other, still seeming to not quite believe it.

Hua Miaomiao cried out that she was wronged.

"Xiaoyu, how can I, your young lady, have such skills?"

Xiaoyu thought about it, nodded and said, "That's true."

"..."

Xiaoyu was completely relieved, but Hua Miaomiao was a little unhappy.
