Chapter 1390: Chapter 1390: Changing Faces
Qingtong’s words made that Huo Family elder feel extremely indignant.
In his view, the Hu Family people and this young man called Ye Jiu, without relying on Yu Sihuang’s strength and status, wouldn’t even have the qualification to talk to their Huo Family!
This was truly a case of the fox borrowing the tiger’s might, daring to embarrass their Huo Family so!
But when he thought about that Holy King Tomb Map and the words of the Huo Family Patriarch before they set out, he could only swallow his anger and said to Qingtong, "Ninth Young Master, why be like this?"
"Our Huo Family indeed went a bit overboard when we were at the Bai Family’s place."
"But that was just a few elders being momentarily overwhelmed, our Huo Family is willing to apologize for this!"
"Moreover, the exploration of the Holy King Tomb is of great importance. Relying solely on the Hu Family’s ability, I’m afraid it’s hard to move an inch in the Holy King Tomb!"
"Why should the young master let this little conflict between us affect the future benefits of entering the Holy King Tomb?"
"Not to mention anything else, just based on the relationship our Huo Family had with the Hu Family, it’s far more suitable for you to share the map with us than seeking other top-level families, isn’t it?"
The Huo Family elder said, looking toward Qingtong.
Hu Zhongtian and others snorted disdainfully, laughing coldly.
The Huo Family dared to speak of relationship with them?
If they truly had any relationship with the Hu Family, Lady Yan wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable situation, not to mention that over all these years, the Huo Family had never offered any aid to the Hu Family, but rather kicked them when they were down.
In the Bai Family, they even brazenly attempted to snatch that Holy King Tomb Map from them!
With all of this, the Huo Family still dared to speak the words "relationship" with them?
Hu Zhongtian and the others had extremely cold expressions.
Qingtong remained unmoved.
The Huo Family spoke nicely, but unfortunately, it was useless to her.
Why would she need to rely on others to gain something in the Holy King Tomb?
Qingtong’s expression was calm.
"Not interested." She looked at that Huo Family elder and said, "If your Huo Family has come just to say these words, then... see the guests out!"
Qingtong spoke, directly standing up.
"Ninth Young Master!"
Seeing this, that Huo Family elder immediately stood up in panic and called out urgently.
Qingtong was so disrespectful, which made that Huo Family elder feel deeply despised.
But for the sake of the Huo Family Patriarch’s instructions, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue trying to plead with her.
Just then, a Huo Family guard hurried in from outside.
"Elder!"
The Huo Family guard walked up to the elder, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "The Family Head wants us back!"
"Someone from the Ouyang Family came and strongly supports our Huo Family in competing for that Holy King Tomb Map!"
"The only requirement is not to share with the Hu Family!"
"Elder, we don’t need to endure the humiliation from the Hu Family any longer!"
"After today, the Hu Family will pay!"
The guard had just received word from someone sent by the Huo Family Patriarch outside and immediately conveyed the matter to the elder.
The latter was initially surprised upon hearing this, then filled with great joy.
"Hahaha! Good, good, good!"
The Huo Family elder laughed loudly, and when he looked at Qingtong and the others again, his gaze was icy cold and full of disdain.
"Hmph! Since your Hu Family doesn’t agree to our Huo Family’s proposal, so be it!"
