Are all the love-brained villains my apprentices?

Chapter 117 Come often in the future

Huo Zicheng was a little puzzled: "Is there something wrong with this title?"

Aunt Ling waved her hand: "No, I mean that with my current status, the word girl seems a little inappropriate."

"Why?"

Huo Zicheng didn't understand. He had been traveling outside for these days and met many people, and occasionally misunderstandings would arise due to some issues with the way they addressed each other.

So in order to avoid such unnecessary misunderstandings, he uniformly called women "girls", men "brothers", and the elderly "grandmas and grandpas".

Therefore, when facing Aunt Ling, he just addressed her according to his own habit.

Aunt Ling's thoughts were somewhat blank: "How can I be called a young lady with my status?"

Huo Zicheng seemed to understand something when he heard Aunt Ling say this.

He answered very seriously: "I don't think so, Miss Ling.

My great-uncle master once told me that a person’s identity will inevitably change many times in his or her lifetime.

The title is just a nickname after the identity change.

How can we talk about whether we are worthy or not?"

Aunt Ling's heart was stirred when she heard what Huo Zicheng said.

She had never heard anyone say anything like that to her.

Since she was born, she has been a slave of the Wen family, and when she grew up she became an embroiderer of the Wen family.

The name she was most often called at that time was "that so-and-so".

She doesn't even deserve a name of her own.

Later she became the aunt of the Wen family.

Everyone around her told her that given her background as a slave, it would be a great blessing for her to be a concubine in the Wen family.

Therefore, her name became "Auntie".

Over time, she gradually accepted this concept through these titles.

Aunt Ling looked at the serious Huo Zicheng in front of her and rarely showed a sincere smile: "So that's how it is. Thank you, Young Master Huo."

"But Young Master Huo, you should just call me Lingjiao from now on. It still sounds a little strange to me, young lady." Aunt Ling, no, it's Lingjiao, said with a smile.

Huo Zicheng nodded: "Okay, Linggu... no, Lingjiao."

At this time, the old woman slowly walked out with three large oil-paper bags in her hands.

Lingjiao quickly stood up and walked to the old woman, helping her over.

The old woman had a kind smile on her face.

"I think the young man is in a hurry, so he packed up the rest."

Huo Zicheng stood up, bent down slightly and took the oil paper bag: "Thank you, grandma, how many spiritual stones are these?"

The old woman waved her hand and said, "Well, it won't cost many spirit stones. Since you are Lingjiao's friend, just consider it as a small token of my appreciation."

Seeing that Huo Zicheng wanted to say something, the old woman quickly added: "If you insist on giving me the spirit stones, you will be giving me no face."

Huo Zicheng was in a dilemma for a moment.

If he didn't give the spirit stones, he would feel bad, but if he gave them, he was afraid of offending the old woman.

After a while, he came up with a compromise.

He took out a health pill and placed it in front of the old woman.

"Grandma, this is my reward."

The old woman was startled and her eyes widened.

Although this fitness pill is not rare, it still costs one hundred spirit stones to buy it.

"This, this is too expensive. I can't take it."

Huo Zicheng firmly stuffed the fitness pill into the old woman's hand, then said "I'll go out first", and quickly left the place with the oil paper bag and walked towards the street corner.

He walked so fast, as if he was afraid that the old woman would catch up with him.

The old woman held the fitness pill in her trembling hands and looked at Lingjiao inquiringly: "Lingjiao, this..."

Lingjiao looked at the hunchbacked old woman and advised, "Grandma, just accept it."

This health-enhancing pill may not mean much to Huo Zicheng, but for an old woman who is already in her twilight years, this pill may be able to prolong her life for a few more days.

Therefore, out of selfishness, Lingjiao persuaded the old woman to accept it.

The old woman looked at the toning pill in her hand and finally kept it.

But she still felt bad in her heart, so she said to Lingjiao, "Next time you bring this little brother here, let me know so I can prepare some extra cakes for him."

Lingjiao comforted: "Okay, grandma, I get it."

After chatting with the old woman for a few more words, Lingjiao was afraid that Huo Zicheng outside would be waiting anxiously, so he said goodbye to the old woman in a hurry.

The old woman brought the water chestnuts to the door and said as she walked: "Come more often when you have time..."

Lingjiao smiled and assured the old woman: "Okay, grandma, I will come to see you whenever I am free in the future."

The old woman looked at the water chestnut carefully from beginning to end again, and then she let go of her hand that was holding the water chestnut.

Lingjiao smiled and waved to the old woman, then walked towards Huo Zicheng.

Huo Zicheng was standing at the intersection watching the people coming and going on the street.

But even when he was glancing aimlessly, Huo Zicheng still stood straight.

Noticing Lingjiao's footsteps, Huo Zicheng turned around and said, "Let's go."

"Okay." Lingjiao replied.

In the Xuanling sect.

Lin Wenyu was looking at the contents engraved on the photo stone.

Suddenly, Xiaoyi let out an "Ah!" and scared Lin Wenyu.

"Xiaoyi. You'd better give me a reasonable explanation." Lin Wenyu picked up Xiaoyi.

Xiaoyi seemed to have lost all hope in life and didn't even struggle.

It lay limp and let Lin Wenyu pick it up.
