Chapter 943: Sacrifice, wont be good without reason
The Hua Family made no secret of their high regard for Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu. As soon as the carriage arrived outside the Hua Family's gate, the Hua Family's main gate opened, and the eldest son of the Hua family even came out to greet them in person.
Others would feel proud and feel a sense of superiority when they saw the Hua Family attaching such importance to them, but Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu would not. The two of them knew their status in the Central Empire very well.
No matter how transcendent their status was in the East, in the Central Empire they were only a little better than ordinary people at most. They cannot afford the Hua Family to value them so much.
Seeing the eldest son of the Hua family standing at the gate, Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu looked at each other, and the two stepped forward. Before the eldest son of the Hua family could speak, Xiao Tianyao took the first step and said: "Young Master Hua, we cannot afford to be so valued by you. "
Although it would be much more convenient for them in the Central Empire if the Hua family valued them, the Hua Family had gone too far, making them unable to feel at ease.
Nothing in this world was good without reason. The more they get now, the more they will have to pay in the future.
Although they have a relationship with the Eldest Prince, they do not want to have a relationship with other people in the Central Empire, especially the various families here.
"It's not up to you whether deserve it or not. It's our Hua Family that has the final say. My father and mother are waiting for you two in the flower hall. Please…" It's not just the eldest son of the Hua family, but also the headmaster and the head wife of the Hua Family. Here, it can be seen how high the standards of the Hua Family were when they received Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu, but the more so, the more uneasy Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu became.
However, the eldest son of the Hua family was unwilling to say more, or he did not know. Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu tried to ask in vain.
Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu looked at each other silently and said nothing.
No matter what the future holds, they have come this far and have no way out.
The Hua Family was one of the seven great families in the Central Empire. Even in the imperial capital, where land was scarce, the house was very spacious. It looked like it covered hundreds of acres. Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu sat in a carriage and traveled for a quarter of an hour just from the gate to the main courtyard.
After getting out of the carriage, Hua Jinrong led the way for the two of them. From time to time, he introduced the scenery of the Hua Family to Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu. Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu just listened without saying a word.
The group arrived at the flower hall quickly. A steward was waiting at the door to greet them early. When they saw Hua Jinrong, Xiao Tianyao, and Lin Chujiu, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Young Master, these two must be Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao of the East. Princess Xiao is indeed the best among people."
The person who spoke was an elderly mama. She looked very kind and respectful to Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu.
No matter what the Hua Family's intention was, just doing things like this makes people feel comfortable.
“The master has been waiting for you two, please come in.” The Elderly Mama welcomed the three of them into the house with a smile.
In the house, the head of the Hua family and his wife were sitting on the main seat. When they saw Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu coming in, they nodded implicitly. Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu took the initiative to salute the two of them, but as soon as they bent down, the two of them said kindly: "No need to be so polite. You two are my Xiao Jiu's lifesavers. Please take a seat."
The word "savior" seemed to explain why the Hua Family treated them so favorably, but Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu still had doubts in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces.
“It’s just a coincidence. It’s Young Master Jiu's luck that can turn danger into safety.” Xiao Tianyao said calmly, rejecting the idea of a savior again.
Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu have never regarded themselves as the saviors of the Ninth Young Master of the Hua Family. They used this matter to ask for help from the Hua Family. What qualifications do they have to say that they were the saviors of the Ninth Young Master of the Hua family and ask the Hua Family for help? Should they always need to be nice to them?
“You two are indeed as kind-hearted as Jiarong said.” The head of the Hua Family was even more satisfied when he saw that Xiao Tianyao looked calm, neither excited nor nervous.
There was a chance to climb up to them, but neither of them was tempted. This shows that their character was not bad. Introducing them to the Dongyang Family will not be a big problem.
That's right, the Hua Family values Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu so much and constantly makes faces for them. Apart from being a savior, it's more because the Dongyang Family wants to meet Lin Chujiu. They wanted to ask Lin Chujiu to come and treat the eldest young master.
The eldest son of the Dongyang family had a disease ten years ago. They invited famous doctors from all over the world, including Divine Doctor Mo, who was famous in all four countries, but all to no avail.
Originally, the Dongyang family would not have noticed Lin Chujiu, but they accidentally learned that Lin Chujiu not only had better medical skills than Divine Doctor Mo, but she might also have a special bloodline from the Lin Family of the Central Empire.
Who knows whether God was favoring or punishing the Lin Family? Every one or two generations of the Lin family, there will be a person with the blood of the sacrificer.
This ‘sacrificer' has the same meaning of sacrifice, which means they will sacrifice this clan member. The Lin Family can help prolong the life of a seriously ill person, transfer the serious illness from that person to themselves, or let the sacrificer's blood bear the pain and die on behalf of the ill person.
Yes, the bloodline of the sacrificer was so great. He or she not only can help seriously ill people to live longer, but also can help the old live longer, or can bring the dead back to life.
There was a sacrificial bloodline in the Lin Family in the previous generation. That man was Lin Chujiu's biological father. He was forced by the Lin Family to sacrifice his own life and save the current emperor.
Those with the blood of the sacrifice generally don't want to leave any descendants, but if someone had descendants, their descendants would definitely have the sacrificial bloodline.
The Lin Family has thought of many ways to allow the sacrificer bloodline to have heirs, but none of them have succeeded. Therefore, the Lin Family's sacrifice bloodline will only produce children every two or three generations, but……
For some unknown reason, the bloodline of the previous sacrificer left an heir. They were certain that Lin Chu inherited the bloodline of the sacrificer.
Although there will be a huge price to make a sacrificer agree, when life was threatened, and it was the time of death from old age, some people were willing to pay the price to continue their lives.
The Dongyang Family naturally targeted Lin Chujiu to be a sacrifice, but what they wanted was not Lin Chujiu's life. They wanted to test the blood of the sacrificer to see if it could transfer the eldest young master's disease to Lin Chujiu.
Of course, the Dongyang family will not ask Lin Chujiu to be a sacrifice right away. They will be polite first and then go for it. They will also give Lin Chujiu a chance to heal their eldest son.
It would be best if Lin Chujiu could heal the eldest young master's disease. If she couldn't heal it, the Dongyang family would ask Lin Chujiu to be a sacrifice and see if this method was feasible.
As for paying the price?
The most fearless thing of the Dongyang family was paying the price. As long as Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu agree, they can pay any price, even if they ask to help Xiao Tianyao win the throne.
However, the Hua Family members did not know about it, and the only one in the Hua Family who knew about it was the headmaster. Everyone else thought that the Hua Family head treated the two so well because they were grateful to Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu for saving their son's life.
After all, the Lin family kept a tight lip on the matter of the sacrificer's bloodline. Except for the headmaster of each family, no one else knows about it. And even if they know about this matter, they don't know that Lin Chujiu has the sacrificer's bloodline……
