Chapter 239: Driving Force of the Times (VIII)
There were too many people outside the No. 1 Qihuang Clinic, and it was impossible to squeeze in.
Hua Changxi thought that he would definitely have the opportunity to listen to Mu Qingying's lectures in the future. When he was hesitating whether to leave, a group of young monks led by Meng Qingyao arrived.
"Give way!"
"Give way!"
Outside the No. 1 Qihuang Clinic, the crowded crowd immediately moved to the left and right when they saw the newcomers, leaving the middle path free.
After the way was cleared, Meng Qingyao and his group walked calmly towards the No. 1 Qihuang Clinic.
"Flower Pavilion Master!"
Dongfang Hao was a careful and cautious person. He paid special attention to his surroundings and soon noticed Hua Changxi standing in the crowd.
Because of his voice, Meng Qingyao and others who were walking in front stopped and looked towards Hua Changxi.
Seeing Hua Changxi, Meng Qingyao immediately smiled and invited: "Master Hua is here too, let's go in together."
Hua Changxi looked at her, then looked at the crowded people on both sides, smiled and refused: "No, I'm not used to this."
Hearing her refusal, Meng Qingyao's face froze, while Dongfang Hao's eyes flashed.
Not used to it?
Dongfang Hao looked around with a puzzled look on his face. What was Hua Changxi not used to?
"Humph~"
Seeing Hua Changxi's disrespect for his sister's kindness, Meng Yuchuan immediately said sarcastically, "Master Hua is really arrogant."
"You didn't give face to Senior Xia before, and you didn't give face to the Pavilion Master of Lingjing Pavilion today. Don't you know the word rules?"
Hua Changxi looked at Meng Yuchuan: "Who are you?"
Meng Yuchuan was almost broken by Hua Changxi's light-hearted question. After all, he was the elder brother of the Pavilion Master of Lingjing Pavilion. During this period, he helped his sister manage the only two high-quality secret realms. He knew all the powerful people in the capital, but he never thought that he would be ignored so completely by Hua Changxi.
"Hua Changxi, listen to me carefully. My name is Meng Yuchuan, and I am the elder brother of the Pavilion Master of Lingjing Pavilion."
Hua Changxi glanced at Meng Qingyao and asked again with a smile: "What Lingjing Pavilion? How come I don't know it?"
She admitted that she was excluded and isolated by Lingjing Pavilion, and she was angry. Since Lingjing Pavilion did not invite her to the meeting, she simply did not recognize Lingjing Pavilion.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, everyone's attention was immediately drawn.
Seeing that Hua Changxi was so stupid as to expose his own shortcomings, Meng Yuchuan said bluntly, "Master Hua is arrogant and unwilling to cooperate with the masters of the secret realms. That's why you were not invited to the first meeting of the Spiritual Realm Pavilion."
"Master Hua, you won't be angry about this, right?"
Hua Changxi looked at Meng Yuchuan with a smile, but kept an eye on Meng Qingyao out of the corner of her eye and did not respond immediately.
In Meng Yuchuan's eyes, this reaction was Hua Changxi's pretense. He then smiled and said, "If Pavilion Master Hua wants to enter the Spiritual Realm Pavilion, he only needs to obtain the Pavilion Master's consent."
"As long as the Pavilion Master allows you, you can attend the next meeting, and you won't be unaware of what the Spiritual Realm Pavilion is."
Hearing this, Hua Changxi laughed out loud: "Meng Yuchuan, right? I think you are not very smart. I don't know Lingjing Pavilion, and I didn't participate in your so-called meeting. How can I recognize the master of Lingjing Pavilion?"
Meng Qingyao is the pride of the Meng family. When he was ignored, Meng Yuchuan could still restrain himself. But when he saw Meng Qingyao being ignored, he couldn't help it.
"Hua Changxi, please don't go too far."
Seeing Meng Yuchuan was so angry, Hua Changxi was in a good mood. "How did I go too far? Since I didn't join the Lingjing Pavilion, isn't it normal for me not to recognize the Pavilion Master you chose?"
Meng Yuchuan had never met someone who spoke so recklessly before. He was so angry that he didn't know how to fight back: "Your Lingjing Pavilion is supported by Senior Xia and Senior Gu. How dare you deny it?"
Hua Changxi's smile deepened: "I won't admit it, what can you do?"
Seeing that her brother's emotions were completely controlled by Hua Changxi, Meng Qingyao had no choice but to stand up and said, "Master Hua, Lingjing Pavilion is on Ninth Street. Whether you recognize it or not, it's there!"
After saying that, he looked at Meng Yuchuan. "Brother, Fellow Daoist Mu is about to start teaching, let's go into the hall quickly."
As he said that, he looked at Hua Changxi again.
"Since the owner of the flower pavilion is not used to traveling with us, please do as you please."
Hua Changxi felt a little depressed when watching Meng Qingyao walk away without giving him a chance to fight back.
This Meng Qingyao is much better than her brother. With just a few words, she made her look like the one who was making trouble for no reason.
"What are you still standing there for?"
Gu Xing, accompanied by Granny Sun, also came to Hall No. 1. Seeing Hua Changxi standing still, he was worried that she would leave in anger, so he could only give her a reminder.
Granny Sun also frequently winked at Hua Changxi: "Changxi, hurry up and follow."
Hua Changxi was a little surprised to see that Gu Xing had also come to attend the class. After hesitating for a moment, he took Pharmacist Xu and the other eight people into Hall No. 1.
When stepping into the museum, Hua Changxi stopped and looked back at the people who had to stay outside the museum.
After entering Hall No. 1, Gu Xing was led directly to the front. Hua Changxi did not follow him and just stood at the gate of the courtyard.
Today is the first public class given by the head of Qihuang Hall. Compared with the previous heads who were selected based on power, the current heads either got the wooden plaque or the secret realm of the sacred tree.
It can be said that they are all people recognized by the Dan Holy Temple!
To be recognized by the Alchemy Temple, one must have extraordinary abilities in medical skills and alchemy. It is because of this idea that so many people come to listen to the lectures.
But the Qihuang Hall is so small that it can’t accommodate too many people. Those who can enter the hall to attend classes today all have strong connections.
Among them, there are quite a few people whose ambition is not to learn the art of alchemy and medicine. They come here to find out the strength of the various hall owners.
Such as the royal relatives of the Qing Dynasty such as Prince Shou, and high-ranking officials such as Duke Xin.
Seeing that the best seats were occupied by a group of outsiders, Hua Changxi suddenly felt that there was nothing interesting about today's class.
"Flower Pavilion Master!"
Huo Yunxiao saw Hua Changxi and walked over quickly: "I've saved a seat for you. Let's go sit inside."
Hua Changxi glanced at the group of dignitaries sitting in the hall and stood still: "No need."
Just now, Hua Changxi and the Meng siblings had an argument outside the museum. Everyone in the museum was staring at them. Huo Yunxiao felt a little angry when he saw Hua Changxi being so distant again.
To be honest, if Hua Changxi couldn't produce top-grade pills, if she didn't control a high-grade secret realm, he really wouldn't want to have too much contact with someone like her.
So high maintenance!
Hua Changxi noticed the flash of anger in Huo Yunxiao's eyes: "You are a cultivator. Cultivators cultivate their minds. It is not good for your cultivation to be too wronged."
Huo Yunxiao's face froze, he felt a little embarrassed and a little surprised.
What was embarrassing was that Hua Changxi saw through his thoughts; what was unexpected was that Hua Changxi was giving him some advice?
Huo Yunxiao was silent for a moment, then he returned to his smiling face: "If Master Hua could be a little kinder to me and not resist me so much, I wouldn't feel wronged."
Hua Changxi looked over and said, "But if that happens, I will be the one who is wronged."
Huo Yunxiao: “.”
Seeing that he was not convinced, Hua Changxi smiled and said, "You are trying to influence me with your will. Even if you are wronged, it is your own fault."
"I defended myself, but in the eyes of people like you, it became my fault."
"Friend Huo, do you think we are on the same path?"
