Chapter 22: The Millennium Secret of the Demon Valley

Hua Duxiu frowned , " Mobei?"

Hua Qian happily said , " Yes, yes, do you want to learn? If you do, Dad will send someone over to give you a gift. No matter how much money you spend, Dad will definitely break down their door!"

"Dad, could you please not be so vulgar?"

Hua Duxiu was speechless. What does it mean to throw money at it?

Is this a blatant bribe?

Can't you be a little more elegant?

For example, giving some calligraphy and paintings, some antiques, or some magical weapons as gifts without leaving any trace?

This will make people happy to receive.

If you just spend money directly, won’t they have any face?

Are you willing to take it?

They are all people of status and position, so they should do things in a subtle and silent way.

Look at Miss Yaoyao, what did she give as a gift? When she opened the box in broad daylight, no one would think it was vulgar, but would praise her for her thoughtfulness and taste.

Of course, business is not doing well now and the losses are huge. Hua Duxiu can't bear to let his father spend more money.

Wouldn't it be better to save the money for me to spend on Hua Duxiu?

Hua Duxiu naturally didn't need to say these words; he just gave Hua Qian a look and she immediately understood what he meant.

No one knows a son better than his father, right?

"Don't worry, Dad will definitely not let others think that our Hua family is country bumpkins!"

Hua Duxiu shook his head , " That's not what I meant."

"ah?"

Qian Hua was stunned: Did I understand it wrong?

This shouldn't be the case. I can immediately guess what Xiu'er is thinking just by looking at him. It's impossible for me to be wrong, right?

Hua Duxiu said , " Jia Jia just came back from Mobei. He said that the wind and sand there are very strong, and the people there like to eat sand. If a place likes to eat sand, why would you care if it is unsophisticated or not?"

Qian Hua smiled and said , " You have never been far away. The important towns in Mobei are all hidden in the oases in the desert. It is true that there are strong winds and sand there, but it is definitely not rustic!"

"Not only is it not rustic, the Mobei League's important city is also a world-famous cultural center!"

Hua Duxiu was stunned . " Cultural Center?"

Qian Hua nodded , " Xiu'er, I will tell you the details later. So, tomorrow I will arrange for Liu Biaotou to go on a long journey. Let's go there first to pay our respects and explore the way."

Hua Duxiu nodded.

This time he didn't refuse.

Although the cultivation of internal strength is a time-consuming and laborious task, if one does not practice internal strength, even if one has superb physical skills, one will be at a disadvantage when facing a top-notch master.

Hua Duxiu sighed , " I didn't agree to go. You should ask about the situation first. If Ji Zong has a lot of bad habits and wants me to practice boxing and swordsmanship, then I will definitely not consider it."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, Dad will definitely arrange everything for you properly and will never let you suffer any grievances!"

Qian Hua readily agreed. As long as Xiu'er was willing to practice martial arts, no matter whether it was swordsmanship, internal strength, or anything else, even if Hua Duxiu wanted to become an official, he would strongly support her!

In short, we cannot bury my Xiuer’s extraordinary talent!

A dandy boy, that is definitely not the destiny for my Xiu'er!

Hua Qian was overjoyed and secretly pondered Mo Bei's arrangements. Hua Duxiu asked again:

"Dad, the eyes of our Hua family..."

Hua Qian immediately became serious and looked around alertly.

Hua Duxiu lowered his voice and asked , " Do our eyes help us practice internal energy?"

Qian Hua said , " Be careful with your words!"

"Got it. This is my study. There's no one else here except the two of us."

Hua Qian nodded , " This is the biggest secret of our Hua family, so you must be careful when speaking."

"Our Hua family has eyes that can see all movements slowly and distinguish subtle details. This is God's blessing. It is for this reason that our Hua family has been on good terms with the Demonic Flow House for generations at all costs."

"With eyes that can see all movements clearly, and a body that is as fast as the eyes, this is our Hua family's greatest reliance in the troubled times. Others can't see clearly, but we can; others can't practice, but we can; others can't keep up, but we..."

Hua Duxiu interrupted , " Are you being long-winded? I know all this. I'm asking, is that... helpful for practicing internal energy?"

Qian Hua sighed , " I can only say... something is better than nothing!"

"So it's useless?"

Hua Duxiu was a little discouraged.

How could someone like me who loves life so much spare a lot of time to cultivate inner strength?

Sitting cross-legged and practicing without moving every day would be suffocating, wouldn't it?

Forget it, I won’t practice anymore!

Hua Duxiu said resolutely , " Let's put this matter aside for now."

Hua Qian spent money to take a look at Hua Duxiu.

This child is good in everything except that he has no ambition and is unwilling to endure hardship.

Forget it, who made the Hua family a single-line family for nine generations?

It's all due to habit!

Hua Qian said slyly , " You can't say that. Our Hua family has been in Shenquan City for nine generations. During this period, several ancestors have achieved very high martial arts attainments. The special uses of their eyes are naturally incomparable to my father's."

Hua Duxiu became more alert , " Oh?"

Hua Qian said , " Our Hua family's several exquisite sword moves that are beyond compare were created by those ancestors. They must have involved the development of the deep-level abilities of the eyes."

Hua Duxiu nodded , " He is indeed quite capable, not inferior to me."

Qian Hua's face turned black , " You kid, you even didn't let your ancestors go?"

"Dad, let's talk business."

Hua Qian said , " Yes. You are gifted, much better than your father and your grandfather. Your grandfather and I are not as talented, so we are content to run the escort business here. But you are different. You will definitely surpass the heights reached by your ancestors!"

Hua Duxiu asked again , " What is the secret of our Hua family? I am so powerful, but you still think I am not qualified?"

He spent money and carefully investigated to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then he said seriously:

"Yes, Dad should tell you."

Hua Duxiu said , " Huh, you don't plan to hide it from me?"

Qian Hua said awkwardly , " It's not a secret! You were young before, and you knew a lot. If you say it out loud, you will bring disaster to yourself!"

"There are so many amazing mysteries and unsolved mysteries in the nine realms of the world! But the most mysterious one is still in our Trapped Demon Valley."

Hua Duxiu became interested. He didn't like gossip, but he loved listening to these true and false legends the most.

"Wait a minute! Dad, wait a minute!"

Hua Duxiu interrupted Hua Qian and disappeared on the spot.

"Um?"

Hua Qian didn't know what Hua Duxiu meant, and scratched his head in confusion.

"call……"

With a gust of wind, Hua Duxiu quickly returned.

In his hands he held a plate of spiced roasted melon seeds and two glasses of orange juice.

There are two small stools sandwiched in the armpits.

Huaqian looked at the rosewood chair behind him and said , " Wouldn't it be more comfortable to sit there?"

Hua Duxiu put the melon seeds and other things on the small table and waved his hand , " You don't understand! To listen to a story, you have to sit on a stool to enjoy it."

Spend money to wipe the sweat off , " Okay, okay."

The two of them sat down on the stool, and Hua Duxiu ate some melon seeds while staring at the money carefully.

Spend money and swallow your saliva, and speak slowly:

"Do you know why our Trapped Demon Valley is called this name?"

"Why?"

Hua Duxiu asked with great cooperation.

"Because a thousand years ago, there was an extremely powerful demon here!"

Hua Duxiu's eyes widened , " Big Evil?"

Qian Hua said , " Yes! The first great monarch of the Shenlong Empire relied on killing this great devil to create an unprecedented achievement. That's how he took advantage of the situation to establish the Shenlong Empire and unify the nine realms of the world!"

Hua Duxiu frowned and said , " Your mouth is not suitable for telling stories."

Hua Qian was stunned , " Why?"

"Look, this should be a thrilling legendary story of a hero slaying demons, but when it comes to you, you tell such a tortuous and great story in just one sentence."

Qian Hua said awkwardly , " I just wanted to talk about the main point later."

Hua Duxiu became more active again , " Oh? The key point is at the end? Then continue."

After spending money, he immediately put on a professional look:

"The demon was destroyed, and the world was at peace. This is where the demon was destroyed, so it was named 'Demon Slaughter Valley' by the first great monarch. He thought everything was fine, but who knew that as time passed, demonic energy grew, and more and more evil things happened in the Demon Slaughter Valley!"

"For some reasons, the first great monarch built a magnificent 'Demon Suppression Tower' in the Hun Dang Mountain, hoping to suppress the demonic energy. The name 'Demon Slaughtering Valley' was too bloody, so the first great monarch changed it to the current 'Demon Trapped Valley'."

Hua Duxiu asked , " What do these things have to do with our Hua family? Speak to the point! The point!"

Hua Qian said mysteriously , " It does matter! Just listen to what Dad has to say."

"Due to the disturbance of demonic energy, many evil things happened in the Demon Valley. But since the construction of the 'Demon Suppression Tower', these evil things have become much less. Since our Hua family moved to the Demon Valley and settled in Shenquan City, evil things have also happened to us!"

Hua Duxiu was surprised , " You mean..."

Hua Qian nodded , " Yes, it's our eyes."

"The Dragon Empire is very concerned about the evil spirits and evil things in the Trapped Demon Valley. Our ancestors suspected that the so-called reduction of evil things was not really reduced, but that as soon as there was a rumor, the empire immediately sent assassins to eliminate them!"

"Xiu'er, have you heard of 'Treasure Manor'?"

Hua Duxiu nodded , " I've heard that there is a 'Treasure Manor' in Pomo City."

Hua Qian said , " That's right. Baibao Manor is nominally an auction house opened by the empire, but in reality, it is also a black market for intelligence gathering and trafficking! Baibao Manor also has a mysterious organization, said to be called the 'Sticky Rod Division', which is specifically responsible for spying and assassination!"

Hua Duxiu was surprised again , " Then our Hua family..."

Qian Hua nodded , " That's right. The secret of the eye is not only the foundation of our Hua family's rise and survival, but also a hidden danger that can bring catastrophic disaster to the Hua family. Therefore, this secret must not be revealed!"

Hua Duxiu rolled his eyes and asked mysteriously , " Our Hua family...are we not descendants of the demon clan?"

Qian Hua was stunned , " You...you think too much."
