Not long later, the three of them had finished lunch. Old Guo sat on the chair and burped in satisfaction. He touched his belly and said, “Your cooking is indeed not bad, but you’re still far from getting the approval of me and my disciple with just your cooking skills. You have to work hard in the future!”
Huo Xuan smiled and replied softly, “Master, I’ll continue to work hard in the future!”
After saying this, Old Guo raised his hand and rubbed his arm. He turned to look at Mo Zhu and instructed lightly, “My disciple, my old arms and legs have been walking for the entire morning and I’m really exhausted. Come, come, help me back to my room to rest.”
‘Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and helped Old Guo up. She didn’t answer and sent him back to the room.
When Huo Xuan saw this, he lowered his head and began to seriously clear the dishes on the table seriously. After Mo Zhu sent Old Guo off, she returned to the kitchen to guard the pills that are still in the process of refining.
In the afternoon, Mo Zhu refined three furnaces of pills in batches. As the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb was relatively rare and it was not often used to cure this rare poison, Mo Zhu had always been very careful during the refinement process. Even if she was skilled in it, she was also very worried
that something unexpected would happen. Fortunately, she succeeded in refining the pills she needed without any danger.
After putting the pills in an orderly manner into a small porcelain bottle that had been prepared in advance, Mo Zhu decided to personally bring it to Feng Yu to test the effect of the antidote another day.
Before he could finish, seeing that Mo Zhu was loyal to Huo Xuan, Elder Guo stared at the man and snorted. He pinched his waist and started criticizing Huo Xuan, “You really can’t judge a book by its cover! I didn’t expect that although you look honest, you would actually do such a thing behind my back.
It’s not enough that you have my disciple, you actually brought a woman outside home in front of me. Do you really think my disciple and I are easy to bully?”
Huo Xuan rubbed his palms helplessly. He lowered his head slightly and explained politely, “Master, you might have misunderstood. How would I dare to bully your disciple? This young lady is a child related to the Huo family. She had just come from Beijing recently. Because I owed her elders a favor, I
allowed her to stay here for a few days. I’ll send her back after the examinations are over.
‘When Old Guo heard this, he glared at Kang Wan coldly and continued angrily, “Hmph, just because you don’t have such intentions doesn’t mean that others don’t. I can tell that this girl is not someone easy to deal with. Hurry up and get her to pack up and move out. Don’t stay in this house and be an
eyesore to my disciple.”
Just as Old Guo finished speaking, Kang Wan tured to Huo Xuan and said with a furious expression, “Brother Huo, I don’t want to move away. If anyone here was to leave, it’s him…”
Before she could finish, Huo Xuan looked up and glanced at Kang Wan coldly. She was so frightened that she didn’t dare to continue speaking.
Huo Xuan knew what Elder Guo meant. He nodded and agreed without any hesitation. “Alright, I’ll get someone to send her to the hotel.”
Originally, he was already not very willing to have an outsider hanging around in front of him every day. Now that Old Guo had taken the initiative to suggest it, he could take the opportunity to send Kang Wan away and make the old man happy. It was killing two birds with one stone. As for the favor he
owed them, it would be the same even if he changed his method of repaying it..
