265: Bringing the Poisonous Silver Hairpin

Bringing the Poisonous Silver Hairpin

After a pause, the old man took out two exquisite silver hairpins and continued, "These two silver hairpins in my hand are poison hairpins that Xiao Lan had spent many years soaking in more than 300 types of poison. As long as you use them well, not only can these two hairpins be used to make poison, but they can also cure poison. The effect of the hairpins as an antidote is even better than acupuncture treatment with silver needles!"1

Although Mo Zhu did not expect that the two ordinary silver hairpins would have such effects, with such outstanding abilities, it was reasonable that the girl named Xiao Lan had caught Old Guo's eye.

The two of them spoke as they walked through the courtyard to the main entrance. At this moment, Huo Xuan was standing at the door, waiting for them quietly.

Seeing Huo Xuan open the door, Mo Zhu took the initiative to take a step forward and pointed at the old man. She introduced, "This is my master. He just came back two days ago and hasn't settled down yet. He wants to stay here for two days."

When Huo Xuan heard this, he immediately raised his head and greeted the old man politely. "Hello, Master. I'm Huo Xuan, Xiao Zhu's fiancé."

Upon hearing Huo Xuan's words, Old Guo sized the man up seriously and said coldly, "You're my disciple's legendary fiancé from a wealthy family?"

After asking this, the old man snorted and continued, "I don't care which young master you are, nor do I care what other forces you have behind you and how great your power is. My disciple is the most precious to me. If you anger my disciple, don't blame me for not being nice to you!"

"Yes, yes, yes…" Huo Xuan knew that Elder Guo was doing this for Mo Zhu's sake. He smiled at the old man's words. He led the old man to the living room and sat on the sofa.

Unexpectedly, just as he sat down on the sofa, Old Guo touched his stomach and said bluntly, "I'm a little hungry. Get me some food."

Huo Xuan immediately nodded with understanding. He took out his phone and dialed a number. "Give me a moment, I'll call the kitchen to make a few dishes and send them over!"

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, he was rejected by Old Guo before he could make the call. "I don't eat what's made outside. You're my disciple's fiancé. I want to taste your cooking for her personally."

When Huo Xuan heard this, he took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves respectfully. "Alright, there shouldn't be many ingredients left at home. Please wait a moment, Master. I'll serve it directly after I'm done."

After ordering Huo Xuan to cook in the kitchen, Old Guo didn't stay idle. He stood up and walked around. Then, he chose a satisfactory room and pointed it to Mo Zhu. "This room suits me quite well. I'll stay here!"

Mo Zhu looked in the direction Old Guo was pointing at. It was a guest room on the first floor that didn't often have people staying in. The Huo family had many rooms in this house. Although most of them had never been lived in, Chen Man had arranged for the cleaning auntie to come regularly to clean and change the sheets in the room, so the rooms were very clean and hygienic.

Considering that Huo Xuan probably wouldn't disagree to this request. Mo Zhu nodded and replied, "Sure."

Her and Huo Xuan's rooms were both on the second floor. After Kang Wan had moved in two days ago, she had also been arranged to stay in a corner on the second floor by Huo Xuan. Now that Old Guo was staying on the first floor, it was just nice and quiet.

Seeing that Old Guo was busy exploring the house, Mo Zhu instructed him not to run around and went to the kitchen to prepare to use the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb to refine the antidote for Feng Yu.

Huo Xuan was busy cooking while Mo Zhu was busy refining pills. The two of them looked very harmonious working on separate things in the kitchen.

Not long later, Huo Xuan skillfully prepared five dishes and a soup. After taking a closer look at the portion, it looked sufficient for the three of them.

After placing the dishes on the dining table, Huo Xuan returned to the kitchen and asked Mo Zhu to eat.

Mo Zhu adjusted the fire in the pill furnace, washed her hands, and sat at the dining table.

Huo Xuan naturally took out three sets of cutlery and arranged them for the two of them. He took the opportunity to pass Old Guo his chopsticks and said, "Master, I haven't cooked in a long time. My cooking might be a little rusty. Try it. If it doesn't taste good, I'll make another one for you."

The man's words were filled with respect and courtesy. As Mo Zhu's master, Huo Xuan also treated Elder Guo as his own master. He had to take good care of him!

When Old Guo heard this, he nodded lightly and picked up his chopsticks to casually take a bite of the food. He tasted it quietly for a few seconds and smiled. "It's done well. The taste is good."

At this moment, Mo Zhu was holding the chopsticks Huo Xuan handed her and thinking about the formula for the pill refinement. When she heard Old Man Guo praise Huo Xuan's cooking, she raised her eyebrows and picked up her chopsticks to try it. Then, she turned to the man and did not say anything.

The three of them ate for a while before Huo Xuan took the initiative to get up and scoop a bowl of soup for both Old Guo and Mo Zhu. His actions gave Old Guo a good impression of him.
