1768 The Decision of the Du Family (2)
“No, Eldest Grandpa, you’re not allowed to bring guards when you enter the academy. How would I have the guts to rob other cultivators?” Du Yu said gloomily.
Then, she told them what happened in the academy in detail.
“It’s really her.”
After hearing what his daughter said, Du Changqing couldn’t help looking surprised. Then, he thought of something and looked happy. “It seems that Old He has found a treasure.”
He had heard that when Lu Zijia signed up for the assessment back then, she almost had no fate with Hongtian Academy. Fortunately, Du He had sharp eyes and picked up a treasure like Lu Zijia.
Otherwise, how would the Martial Arts Department have its current glory?
The other guys in Hongtian Academy who had bad judgment probably regretted it at this moment.
“Right, right! Junior Sister Lu is really a treasure!” And a treasure that everyone wanted to fight for.
Du Yu nodded in agreement.
Looking at his daughter’s silly smile, Du Changqing was a bit helpless. “Yu’er, although the outcome of this matter is good, you were too ridiculous.”
The Du family had finally gathered the two sets of spiritual plants to refine the Mystic Golden Core Pill. If Lu Zijia failed to refine the pill, the Du family would suffer a huge loss.
Du Yu lowered her head guiltily. “But, Father, didn’t you say before that Junior Sister Lu is very likely the alchemist who refined the Mystic Golden Core Pill? So, I thought that since we don’t have to pay anyway, even if Junior Sister Lu fails to refine pills, we can minimize the losses, right?”
“Is that really what you think?”
Du Changqing, who knew his daughter’s personality, was obviously very suspicious.
Du Yu, who was already feeling guilty, immediately felt even more guilty. “Yes, yes…”
In fact, her first thought was to go against Liao Sisi. Later, she thought that this might be an opportunity, so she gritted her teeth and gambled.
Fortunately, she won the bet, or she would definitely be punished.
“Alright, alright, don’t blame Lass Yu. If it weren’t for her, how would the Du family have so many superior-grade Mystic Golden Core Pills?” Third Elder Du spoke up for his granddaughter.
First Elder Du also nodded and said happily, “That’s right, Changqing. Lass Yu’s actions can be considered to have made up for her mistakes. Don’t chide her anymore.”
“Even though it’s a bit rash, the good thing is that the result is good.”
Second Elder Du, who had never liked to talk much, also put in a good word for Du Yu for once.
Du Yu stole a glance at her father with a smile and said to the three grandpas ingratiatingly, “The three grandpas dote on Yu’er the most.”
Du Changqing, who saw through his daughter’s act, shook his head helplessly.
“Oh right, there’s still one set of spiritual plants left.”
As Du Yu spoke, she took out a few brocade boxes of different sizes from her interspatial ring.
“There’s still one set of spiritual plants left?”
Du Changqing frowned unconsciously. “You shouldn’t take back these spiritual plants.”
Even though Lu Zijia said at that time that she wouldn’t accept remuneration, Lu Zijia had helped the Du family refine pills. They should express their gratitude no matter what.
Although First Elder Du and the others didn’t say anything, judging from their expressions, they obviously didn’t agree with Du Yu taking back this spiritual plant.
Du Yu looked depressed. “Father, although I’m usually a bit carefree, it doesn’t mean that I’m really a fool! I originally planned to give this spiritual plant to Junior Sister Lu, but if she doesn’t accept it, what can I do? I can’t force her, right?”
If she really did that, she might make people unhappy.
