Chapter 75 You've Been Controlled
"Speak, what is it?" Huangfu Qian put down his book and looked directly at Xia Mo.
Xia Mo nodded and said, "To be frank, I don't want to marry Wei Zhishu."
Huangfu Qian's heart was indescribable, as if dark clouds were pressing down on him. But after hearing Xia Mo's words, they suddenly dissipated, and what followed was curiosity.
"If you don't want to marry Wei Zhishu, why are you playing hard to get with him?" Huangfu Qian asked, which also meant that if Xia Mo didn't give a reason, he wouldn't believe her.
“More than a month ago, I was pushed into the river and almost died. I wonder if you have found out about this?” Xia Mo asked.
Huangfu Qian had indeed had Jiang Feng investigate, and nodded, indicating that he had found the information, but...
“You said that Ma Yiyi pushed you into the river, but do you know that it takes an hour to travel between Anping County and Anjia Village? When you fell into the river, Ma Yiyi was still in Anping County,” Huangfu Qianying stared intently at Xia Mo.
Xia Mo's face fell when this was mentioned.
“Ma Yiyi and I grew up together. We were the best of friends, but then…” Xia Mo twitched her lips and said, “She pushed me into the river, trying to kill me!”
“You haven’t answered my question yet,” Huangfu Qian reminded him.
"A strange person with extraordinary abilities, have you ever seen one?" Xia Mo could say that Ma Yiyi possessed a high-tech system called a live streaming system, but if she were to explain it, there would be a lot of complicated details, and she was too lazy to waste her breath on it.
Huangfu Qian's heart tightened suddenly, and his hawk-like eyes became even more profound and humorous, making him unfathomable.
"You mean, Ma Yiyi has extraordinary abilities?" Huangfu Qian thought of his mission.
“That’s one way to understand it,” Xia Mo nodded.
"I should thank her. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be taught by such a master," Xia Mo said with a smile, watching Huangfu Qian's expression change.
Huangfu Qian's heart was filled with uncontrollable turmoil.
Xia Mo was momentarily surprised that Huangfu Qian did not feel greed.
“Of course, what she and I studied is different,” Xia Mo replied with a laugh, then continued, “You and I were the parties involved, and we know exactly what happened two years ago.”
“She took that small jade pendant, intending to marry Wei Zhishu as her benefactor. As for me, I just want to grant her wish.”
Doubt appeared in Huangfu Qian's eyes.
If Xia Mo wanted to help Ma Yiyi, why would she deliberately lure Wei Zhishu into this?
"Make them miserable, understand? I'm the thorn in Ma Yiyi's side. Even if Ma Yiyi marries Wei Zhishu, Wei Zhishu's heart will always be with me, and she will always be in pain. Just thinking about that makes me happy. It's much more fun than letting her die," Xia Mo thought of Ma Yiyi's self-torture and hysterical appearance, and her smile became sweet.
Looking at Xia Mo's sweet and innocent smile, Huangfu Qian couldn't fathom what Xia Mo was thinking at that moment.
"Have you ever considered the possibility of things going wrong?" Huangfu Qian asked.
Huangfu Qian noticed the change in Wei Zhishu's expression outside the prison and knew immediately that Wei Zhishu had changed his mind.
"Hehe," Xia Mo just laughed without explaining.
Huangfu Qian's eagle eyes were fixed on Xia Mo, unable to fathom what Xia Mo had done, but...
"You sneaked into Wei Zhishu's main residence twice just to accomplish this, right?" Although Huangfu Qian used a question, his tone was certain.
Xia Mo looked Huangfu Qian up and down and asked, "Now you can tell me, what is your identity? And why is Wei Zhishu impersonating you to repay someone's debt of gratitude?"
Huangfu Qian stared intently at Xia Mo.
It's understandable that Huangfu Qian doesn't trust Xia Mo and is unwilling to reveal his identity.
Xia Mo waved her hand dismissively and said, "Not going to tell me? It's fine, I'll find out eventually."
"I can see that you have Wei Zhishu under your control. How about we make a deal?" Xia Mo's lips curled up, revealing a confident smile.
Huangfu Qian asked, "What can we trade?"
“Master Jia,” Xia Mo’s pink lips parted as she uttered three words.
Huangfu Qianying's eyes showed a moment of surprise, but then he thought that Xia Mo might also be hiding things, and perhaps she knew these things through other channels, which would be different.
"I've come to invite Master Jia," Huangfu Qian said in a flat tone, but there was a disgust he himself didn't realize.
“You can find another trading partner,” Xia Mo said, pointing to herself.
"Do you know why I invited him?" Huangfu Qian asked sharply.
“No, to be precise, it wasn’t you who invited him, but someone else made you invite him. That person has more power than you, and you’re being manipulated,” Xia Mo replied.
Huangfu Qian: "..."
"What does Master Jia know? The art of transmitting sound over long distances, the ability to fly, or... medicines that can make people stronger, or... medicines that can increase lifespan, and the ability to spy on others," Xia Mo stared at Huangfu Qian's face and made a bold guess.
Huangfu Qian's expression remained unchanged, but his hands moved stiffly and imperceptibly before he suppressed it.
Huangfu Qian was surprised; Xia Mo had been right.
"I have medicine to make me stronger. Look at me, I used to be just a weak little woman, but now..."
Xia Mo's gaze swept across the things in the study, finally settling on the table in front of Huangfu Qian.
This table is made of solid wood and weighs at least a hundred pounds, making it much easier to move than a large bookshelf.
Xia Mo reached under the desk and easily lifted it up, as if she were picking up a feather.
Xia Mo lifted the desk and put it down, her gaze never leaving Huangfu Qian.
Huangfu Qianying's eyes became deep and unfathomable.
“I also have medicine that can extend lifespan,” Xia Mo pretended to reach into her bosom, took out a medicine bottle, and poured out a small white pill.
"Want to try it?" Xia Mo handed the pill to Huangfu Qian.
Huangfu Qian got a good deal; she refined this for her family.
Huangfu Qian took the small, white pill. It was hard to believe that this was a medicine that could prolong life.
"Mortals can live for a maximum of 120 years. The true length of life depends on the degree of physical exertion. Excessive exertion will reduce lifespan accordingly," Xia Mo said.
Huangfu Qian's pupils contracted sharply, and then he realized that his emotions had been revealed, so he quickly restrained them.
He captured two key words: mortals? One hundred and twenty years!
Is it...
Thump thump thump...
Huangfu Qian's heart pounded uncontrollably like a deer's.
After scanning Huangfu Qian's physical condition with his divine sense, Xia Mo said, "Given your current level of physical exertion, you should be able to live to be eighty years old, barring any unforeseen circumstances."
Huangfu Qian: "..."
Can he believe what Xia Mo said?
“Taking this longevity pill and correcting bad habits can extend your life by twenty years, allowing you to live to be a hundred years old,” Xia Mo said.
Huangfu Qian's eagle eyes were fixed on Xia Mo, and before he knew it, his gaze had become deep and unfathomable, as if filled with deep affection.
"Eat it or not? If not, give it back to me!"
Xia Mo reached out to ask for her pills back.
Huangfu Qian looked at the small white pill he was holding between two fingers, then suddenly raised his hand and put it in his mouth.
He decided to try it; if the pill really had a problem, he could spit it out.
however……
Huangfu Qian had never seen a pill that melted in the mouth and was actively absorbed upon contact with the skin.
