The effect of the elixir blood crying tree was extraordinary, Lu Yao heard it and fell into a daze, until Huo Ying on the side called Lu Yao several times, his divine sense retreated from the sea of knowledge, Lu Yao saw that Huo Ying's whole person seemed to be a different person at this time, and knew that he had figured out many of the keys.

"Lu Gongzi, can I worship you as a teacher?" Huo Ying mustered up the courage to say a thought in his heart that had been repeatedly struggled with.

Huo Ying looked very nervous, Lu Yao was no better than him, Lu Yao had been cultivating immortals for so long, and he had never accepted an apprentice, especially a person like Huo Ying, who was many years older than him, and also had an extraordinary identity and status.

"Uncle Ying, I can't agree to this request of yours." Lu Yao politely refused: "Forgive the younger generation for being sparse and shallow, thank you for your high opinion, if Uncle Ying doesn't mind, I am willing to communicate with Uncle Ying often and exchange each other's opinions, do you think this is okay?" ”

"There is no order to learn, the master is the teacher, so Lu Gongzi should not shirk it." As soon as Uncle Ying heard Lu Yao say this, he immediately said: "Before I met Gongzi, I thought that my understanding in this area was enough to be called a grandmaster level, but when I met Lu Gongzi today, I realized that there is a sky outside the sky, and I asked Lu Gongzi to agree to my request." ”

"The blood cry tree that Lu Gongzi said can be said to be my personal belongings, if Lu Gongzi agrees to my request, I can give it free of charge, which can be regarded as my apprenticeship." Huo Ying saw Lu Yao's embarrassed face, and immediately threw out a sufficiently tempting condition.

Offering the blood cry tree for free, this bait is indeed tempting, Lu Yao was a little excited in his heart, and almost blurted out that he agreed to accept Huo Ying, an old man who was more than two rounds older than him, as an apprentice, but at the moment when the words were about to be spoken, a trace of clarity flashed in Lu Yao's heart, and he finally held back.

"Uncle Ying, your conditions are indeed very tempting, but it is really difficult for the younger generation to obey your fate." Lu Yao forcibly held back the desire for the blood cry tree in his heart, and said slowly: "If Uncle Ying is willing, you and I can become friends for the New Year, and in the future, if I have gained something along the way in this medicine, I will definitely say that I will share it with Uncle Ying, what do you think?" ”

At this point, Uncle Ying knew that even if he continued to talk about it, it would be useless, and if he talked too much, he was a little unkind, and he was embarrassed by Lu Yao's meaning, so he had to stop there, but it was not without gain to be able to get Lu Yao's promise. Although the Blood Cry Tree is a rare elixir for thousands of years, Huo Ying understands that such a thing in his own hands will only make the elixir dusty, rather than this, it is better to be a favor.

"Since this is the case, I will no longer be strong, as long as Lu Gongzi remembers that there is a bad old man like me." Huo Ying walked over slowly, spent some effort to push the whole Blood Cry Tree in front of Lu Yao, and showed sincerity between his words, and said: "The Blood Cry Tree is just a pearl in my hands, I will give it to Lu Gongzi today, it can be regarded as a meeting gift for acquaintance, and I hope that Lu Gongzi will not shirk it, accept it!" ”

"Uncle Ying, how can I afford to do this, I can't hide it, I only have such a treasure in your old hand from Mr. Diao's mouth before, I want to open my eyes, but I swear to God, I definitely don't want to take it for myself, thanks to Uncle Ying's refusal to give up, I can let me see the Heavenly Treasure Elixir like the Blood Cry Tree with my own eyes, I am already grateful, Uncle Ying still left this treasure in the Yimeng." Lu Yao said what he really thought in his heart, he was not the kind of person who wanted to keep any treasure for himself when he saw it, even if it was an elixir.

Lu Yao had already made up his mind, and in order not to shake his determination, he turned his head and didn't look at the Blood Cry Tree, and secretly ran the [Clear Heart Decision] to make his heart empty. Huo Ying's repeated persuasion was to no avail, and he had to sigh secretly that Lu Yao was indeed the most outstanding young talent he had ever seen.

However, Huo Ying's idea of sending the Blood Cry Tree to Lu Yao could not be changed, in order to achieve his goal, he just changed a means, looked at Lu Yao and said: "Since Lu Gongzi can recognize this thing and know its miraculous effect from time to time, why don't Lu Gongzi show his power again and refine this thing into a panacea that can be taken by people, you and I are half each, what do you think?" ”

Lu Yao felt that this was also a compromise method, and thought that he was now in the beginning of alchemy, so he still agreed.

It's just that refining the elixir is not something that can be achieved overnight, and Lu Yao also needs some time, so the two talked about some other things and left here.

"Uncle Ying, that female officer just now is your daughter, right?" Lu Yao remembered the previous scene when the female officer called Uncle Ying's father, and asked casually.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, this is also from Lu Yao's mouth, if it is replaced by anyone else, Huo Ying will definitely be furious, because it is a painful memory that he can never forget in his heart.

It turned out that the female officer's name was Huo Tingting, and she was indeed Huo Ying's biological daughter, but he had been with him since he was a child, and he had been living abroad, and he had never recognized his father, but they knew each other's existence.

I don't know why, Huo Tingting suddenly returned to China three years ago, looked for Huo Ying twice, and expressed her idea of wanting to recognize Huo Ying.

But who knows, on the third night when Huo Tingting returned to Huo Ying's side, Huo Tingting suddenly broke into this secret room and wanted to steal the Blood Cry Tree, but fortunately Huo Ying was discovered in time, so that it did not cause an irreparable mistake, Huo Ying also slapped Huo Tingting in anger and drove her out of the Yimeng, and the two have not seen each other since.

Except for the time when the New Year is celebrated, Huo Ying will occasionally think that there is such a person as Huo Tingting in this world, and he will not think about these unhappy things at all at other times.

The moment I saw Huo Tingting just now, all the past events appeared clearly in front of Huo Ying's eyes again, and I was even more angry with Huo Tingting in my heart, I didn't show up for two or three years, and when I appeared, I met on this occasion, if Huo Tingting broke off her greed for the blood cry tree, she didn't want to believe it if she killed Huo Ying.

"Uncle Ying, maybe you father and daughter can have an open and honest chat, maybe something will happen that you haven't thought of?" Lu Yao can't make a judgment on who is right and who is wrong through Huo Ying's description, but he always feels that blood is thicker than water, and thousands of things in the world can be parted, but family affection is difficult to give up if you want to.

Especially when Lu Yao thinks of his mother who he has never met, while persuading Huo Ying, he is actually persuading himself, if one day, his mother appears in front of him with his father Lu Jingyun, he should also need to recognize this mother, right?

"There's nothing to say between me and her, Master Lu, don't persuade me anymore, okay?" Huo Ying's face was embarrassed, he stopped, looked at Lu Yao with complicated eyes, and said.

Lu Yao didn't want to give up, but from Huo Ying's eyes, he saw a look of déjà vu, and after all, he didn't mention this matter again, the two of them were silent, no one said a word, and left the secret room one after the other, and returned to the previous office.

When the two came back, Huo Tingting and the girl who looked very similar to her were no longer in the office, only Tong Tiexin, Diao Wengui and Ouyang Ling.

As soon as the three of them saw Huo Ying and Lu Yao coming back, they immediately surrounded them, wanting to know what had happened when the two had been away for so long.

"Master Lu, I'm a little unwell today, I can't dine with you, why don't you mind, let Xiaoling accompany you to have a good drink, how about it?" Huo Ying didn't see Huo Tingting, and his mood improved a little, but he was indeed a little tired today, and said apologetically.

"Don't worry, Uncle Ying, I'm not too young, I'll greet the three of Lu Gongzi, you can go and take a rest." Ouyang Ling immediately took Huo Ying's words, and said to Lu Yao and the others with a smile.

"Uncle Ying, Miss Ouyang, you don't have to be polite, I still have some things to deal with, why don't you say goodbye today and get together another day, how about it?" Lu Yao heard a woman's voice ringing in his ears, so he said euphemistically.

"Okay, since that's the case, then don't leave it today, next time I have a chance, Lu Gongzi will definitely come to our post league to sit down, and I will accompany Lu Gongzi to have two drinks." Uncle Ying no longer insisted and said.

Huo Ying did not send Lu Yao and the three of them to leave the Yimeng, but Ouyang Ling accompanied the three of them to the underground parking lot, watched the three of them leave in the car, and then reflexively returned to the Yimeng.

……

"Brother Tong, you send Mr. Diao back to Wengyuan County, I'll do some personal things, and then I'll go back by myself."

The car drove out of the underground parking lot of Yimeng, Lu Yao motioned to Tong Tiexin to pull over, then arranged it, got out of the car and left.

……

……

Not far from Yimeng, in a very stylishly decorated café, there was a woman in military uniform sitting by the window, her two eyes constantly looking at the pedestrians coming and going outside, until Lu Yao's figure appeared in her sight, she withdrew her gaze, slowly got up and greeted the door.

"Lu Gongzi, I am really not an ordinary person, it seems that I was right to bet." The female officer was Huo Ying's daughter Huo Tingting, at this time he was alone, and there was no girl who looked very similar to her, she walked lightly, walked in front of Lu Yao, and said with a smile.

"Huo Tingting, Uncle Ying's daughter." Lu Yao also directly revealed the identity of the other party, and said, "I don't know what you are looking for me?" ”

"Go sit down." Huo Tingting didn't answer Lu Yao's words, but turned around and walked back to her seat, and beckoned the waiter to serve Lu Yao a cup of black coffee, without adding a little rock sugar to the bitter black coffee.
