Qianxun saw this and was imdiately at a loss whether to cry or laugh.
Were these demons really that overcautious?
It’s not like Yanzhi was going to eat them!
Little did they know, ever since Lang Ya and others were punished for offering overly luxurious gifts last ti, now when demons sent gifts to Huo Tianzun, they were extrely careful, afraid of making a mistake and facing punishnt.
Qianxun had no choice but to let Xiao Tian carry the items upstairs, then sat on the sofa to examine them.
He noticed that the demons had brought things like ginseng and gems, and Qianxun couldn’t help but slightly curve his lips in amusent.
After all, sticking to the conventional was always safe.
...
anwhile, at the Huo Family residence.
As soon as Huo Tianzun’s car stopped, Housekeeper Huo hurried out to greet him.
"Young Master, you’re back, Madam has been waiting for you! The Second Young Master is also here," Housekeeper Huo said.
Hearing this, Huo Tianzun nodded indifferently.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Madam Huo approach, with Huo Tianci standing calmly behind her.
"Heavenly Venerate, you’re back?"
"Brother!" Huo Tianci greeted with a neutral expression.
Huo Tianzun nodded at them, "Mom, Tianci, where’s Dad?"
"Your dad is in the kitchen cooking for you! Co inside quickly," Madam Huo said with a smile.
Huo Tianzun humd a response and stepped briskly inside.
...
Once Huo Tianzun was seated on the sofa, Madam Huo looked him up and down, observing while speaking, "How co you’ve lost even more weight? You really shouldn’t overwork yourself, huh? And when did you buy this tie? It has quite the taste."
Her son was always a man of a cold and dignified air, yet he wore a pinkish-smoke-colored tie today, which surprisingly lent him a touch of warmth.
Hearing Madam Huo’s words, Huo Tianzun feigned modesty, "It’s a birthday gift I received this year, which I casually opened and wore when I ca ho today."
At this revelation, Madam Huo’s eyes brightened instantly, "A gift? Was it from a young lady? She has quite the eye!"
Giving a man a tie signifies interest, an intention to tie him down!
Which girl had given Yanzhi this tie?
Had his daughter-in-law been decided?
...
Hearing Madam Huo’s words, the corners of Huo Tianzun’s lips twitched imperceptibly, "It is indeed nice."
But he avoided answering Madam Huo’s earlier question.
At this mont, Huo Tianci took a longer look at Huo Tianzun, then pressed his lips together.
This tie, wasn’t it given by that female fairy last ti?
Even though his relationship with this brother wasn’t very close, he knew full well that he wouldn’t normally wear clothes given by others. Furthermore, due to his role as the Demon Managent Bureau Director, he often wore the Bureau’s uniform, and his civilian clothes were always from certain specific brands.
With this thought, Huo Tianci’s gaze involuntarily rested on Huo Tianzun’s tie, finding the pink rather garish.
Ha!
Good taste?
It was obviously gaudy.
Just as Madam Huo was about to press on with her questions, Huo Tianzun suddenly turned to Huo Tianci, "Tianci, where’s the temple master?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Tianci replied indifferently, "Master is helping Dad appraise so antiques he recently collected; he’ll be down soon."
Huo Tianzun nodded slightly.
...
And soon after, an elderly man with white hair and an immortal bearing, dressed in a green robe, appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Heavenly Venerate is back? We’re really grateful for what you did for the White Cloud Temple last ti," True Master Qingyang of White Cloud Temple said with a smile.
Huo Tianzun replied with an unemotional expression, "It was my duty."
Then he looked at True Master Qingyang, "Master Qingyang, I have a matter I’d like to inquire about."
