Chapter 1388: Chapter 1388: Ouyang Family’s Terms
Luo Qingtong’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"Alright, go tell Lady Yan and the others that I’ll be there soon."
Just as the Huo Family was heading to the Hu Family, the main hall of the Huo Family’s master courtyard received unexpected visitors.
"Young Master Ouyang?"
The Huo Family Patriarch and the elders looked at the unexpectedly visiting Ouyang Shao, feeling quite surprised.
This Young Master Ouyang, what is he doing here at the Huo Family?
Being top-level families, the Huo Family and the Ouyang Family are not enemies, but they aren’t particularly harmonious either.
Moreover, the Huo Family intended to seize the Holy King Tomb Map, only to be obstructed by Yu Sihuang. Could the Ouyang Family be here to mock them?
Thinking this, the Huo Family Patriarch’s expression immediately turned somber.
But soon, he was bewildered.
"Huo Family Patriarch, I’ve been sent by my father to deliver medicine to you."
"I heard that Huo Ting and several elders of the Huo Family are injured?"
Ouyang Shao smiled at the Huo Family Patriarch and said, "These bottles of medicine liquid were bestowed by the Saint Doctor who cured me before. They can restore Huo Ting’s severed arm to its original state without any hindrance."
As Ouyang Shao spoke, he took out the medicine liquid given by Feng Yuan and handed them to the Huo Family Patriarch.
"This... what does the Ouyang Family Master mean by this..."
The Huo Family Patriarch did not take the bottles of medicine liquid but looked at Ouyang Shao with confusion.
He did not understand why the Ouyang Family would be so kind.
The setback to the Huo Family’s strength should be beneficial to the Ouyang Family, shouldn’t it?
When the Holy King Tomb opens, their Ouyang Family would have fewer competitors, wouldn’t they? So why send them wound medicine and heal them?
Seeing the Huo Family Patriarch so wary, Ouyang Shao said, "Don’t misunderstand, Huo Family Patriarch, these bottles of medicine liquid are not given by our Ouyang Family but by the Saint Doctor."
He continued, "That person hidden in the Hu Family, Ye Jiu, a friend of Chu Lingfeng, is an enemy of the Saint Doctor."
"The Saint Doctor saved my life and is an ally of the Ouyang Family!"
"Since she has enmity with the Hu Family, then the Holy King Tomb Map cannot fall into the Hu Family’s hands."
"We chose to cooperate with the Huo Family merely because we have a common enemy!"
"Huo Family Patriarch, you too wish to obtain the Holy King Tomb Map and restore your honor, don’t you?"
"That Southern Domain King was summoned by Ye Jiu. Snatching the map from her is equivalent to disgracing the Southern Domain King but not excessively!"
"The Huo Family can benefit from this as well!"
"I believe Huo Family Patriarch wouldn’t refuse this proposal, would you?"
Ouyang Shao looked at the Huo Family Patriarch.
These words were naturally given to him by Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan’s grasp on people’s hearts was precise; she could almost determine that they wouldn’t reject her proposal even without being present.
Sure enough, after contemplating for a moment, the Huo Family Patriarch accepted the bottles of medicine liquid.
Then he looked at Ouyang Shao and asked, "The Ouyang Family intends to support my Huo Family in obtaining that map?"
"Exactly." Ouyang Shao nodded and said, "I know your Huo Family plans to unite with several other top-level families. Our Ouyang Family already possesses one Holy King Tomb Map."
"We will not participate in obtaining this second Holy King Tomb Map!"
"However, no matter who gets this map, it cannot fall into the hands of the Hu Family or be shared with them!"
