Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 440: Huo Yi brought an Elixir home

Hong Kong District.

Huo Family Mansion.

Huo Zhenting along with his wife and their three sons and grandchildren were gathered for a meal.

After a while, they saw a sedan driving into the courtyard.

The nanny came in and announced, "Master, Little Miss has returned."

The only one in the household whom the nanny referred to as "Little Miss" was the youngest granddaughter, Huo Yi.

Huo Zhenting and his wife, along with Huo Yi’s parents, Huo Gang and Jingjing, quickly put down their chopsticks in surprise.

They went out to see, and indeed, it was Huo Yi who had returned.

Every member of the Huo family’s heart rose to their throats, anxiously asking, "Why have you come back?"

Everyone feared whether the Elder Madame no longer wanted this disciple.

Was it possible that the girl had caused trouble and was expelled from her sect?

Huo Yi was the hope of the entire Hong Kong District’s power structure, expected to become the direct link to Tianfeng in the Hong Kong Circle. If she were really expelled, it would be a disaster.

Seeing the unnatural and panicked expressions on her family’s faces, Huo Yi said, "Master gave me a day off, I came back to bring something for Grandpa."

Huo Zhenting still didn’t believe his granddaughter, "You could have had someone else deliver the item, hasn’t Grandpa arranged a specific person for you to contact?"

The family indeed had a specific car and contact person living closest to Gu Mansion, always ready to take Huo Yi’s calls.

Whether Huo Yi had a message for the family or needed something, she would call the contact person.

Or if she wanted to come home, the vehicle would go to pick her up.

So, was the granddaughter indirectly persuading the Elder Madame to retire her?

Huo Yi pouted, "My senior sister said this item is very precious and had me deliver it personally. She even worried about me and accompanied me here."

Huo Zhenting asked, "Where is your master then? Why didn’t you let Miss Eileen come in? Isn’t that quite rude?"

Huo Yi responded, "My sister has left, she also needed to go back. She dropped me at the gate and left."

The maid who opened the door hurriedly said, "Reporting to sir, Miss Eileen has indeed left."

Huo Zhenting asked, "What are you bringing?"

Huo Yi looked around at the maids and bodyguards, not feeling confident and ran into the living room, "Let’s go inside to talk."

After she ran into the living room, and saw that the dining area was already filled with food, Huo Yi hurriedly jumped onto a chair, signaling to her mother, Jingjing, "Mom, could you add a plate and chopsticks for me?"

Jingjing also seemed frantic, "Were you expelled by your master?"

The whole family immediately gathered around the table, who had the mind to eat now? They just wanted to know why their granddaughter had come back suddenly without any summons.

"Little Yi, tell Grandpa clearly, did your master allow you to come back? Did she say anything?" Huo Zhenting was really anxious.

Huo Yi was just over six years old, what could she understand?

She said her master had given her a holiday, but what if it was the Elder Madame’s subtle way of sending her home?

"You’re always afraid I’ve been expelled by the master, but I’ve been really well-behaved at the sect, and the master really likes me."

While saying this, Huo Yi took out a box containing a Core Formation Pill, "Look, if Master really didn’t want me, why would she give me this? I came to bring this to you, Grandpa. My sister said this item is very important, and insisted I bring it personally."

She opened the box.

Inside, a pill emitted a faint white glow, intriguing the Huo family members.

Huo Zhenting curiously asked, "What is this?"

Huo Yi said, "Sister said that eating this can make one a Core Formation cultivator."

Boom!

Suddenly, the members of the Huo family felt as if their brains had been struck by lightning, and they were all dumbstruck.

Huo Gang, Huo Yi’s father, instinctively stood up and hurried to the kitchen door, heavily peering out to see if any other servants were approaching, or had heard Huo Yi’s words!

If outsiders heard about the Core Formation Pill, they would definitely harbor malicious intentions!

Moreover, the Huo family was not a major family; if they were targeted, not to mention the Core Formation Pills, even Foundation Establishment Pills would be tempting enough for cultivators to take risks!

But this was something that could elevate a cultivator to the Core Formation Stage!

Across the globe, more than four thousand people had surpassed the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, those in the Core Formation Stage did not exceed three digits!

And they were all concentrated in the Dragon Nation.

Abroad, aside from the guild president, other powers were at the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

In other words, if the Huo family’s own servants killed them and swallowed this Core Formation Pill, then looking at the entire world, aside from the top cultivators of the Dragon Nation, no other power would dare to criticize or punish this servant.

He could even defy the natural order and establish his own power!

Huo Zhenting also glanced at Huo Gang, who hurriedly gave a reassuring look, easing the minds of the Huo family members.

Huo Gang remained at the door, overseeing that no other servants or maids approached.

Once he had calmed down, Huo Zhenting still cautiously asked his granddaughter, "Is this pill given to you by your master? If so, you can take it yourself."

Huo Yi took a bite of the delicious steak and shook her head, "I asked master, and she said I could distribute it myself, even giving it away is fine. This isn’t from master, it’s from my grandmaster to all the disciples of our sect; my sister and I both got one. I am currently only a Grandmaster, and my body isn’t fully developed yet, so I can’t handle the backlash from the pill. So, I’d rather give it to you, Grandpa."

Huo Zhenting still shook his head, "You might need it in the future; this thing is very precious. You are the hope of our family, so you have priority over all family resources."

Huo Yi rolled her eyes at her grandfather, "Master said she will take care of future matters and asked me not to worry."

"Dad, why don’t you take it? Our family, or even the entire Hong Kong District really needs a powerful cultivator to preside over matters," Huo Shan, the second son, looked at Huo Zhenting, "To avoid prolonging this, it’s better to take it now."

They were making sense.

Currently, among all the regional chambers of commerce in the country, the Hong Kong Circle’s cultivation resources and overall strength were indeed weak.

So far, there was not even a single Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Huo Zhenting himself was only in the Qi Refining Middle Stage, and the other two from the Li family were in the Qi Refining Early Stage.

This was even with the help of his granddaughter Huo Yi occasionally providing leftovers from the elixirs refined by her master, Lin Yue; otherwise, they might not have been able to break through Qi Refining.

The biggest problem in the Hong Kong Circle was not that they lacked capital but connections!

Huo Zhenting didn’t even have enough official energy to be at the level of the Big Housekeeper of the province.

Moreover, in the financial sector, they couldn’t enter the Tianfeng Fund Circle.

For the younger generation, the gap in succession also made it difficult for them to integrate into the "Supercar" club.

This was where the development of the Hong Kong Circle fell into a vicious cycle.

You could say their capital energy was quite strong, but they always lacked that crucial level of connections for high-end cultivation resources.

That’s why the entire circle placed their hopes on Huo Yi; relying on her identity as a direct disciple of the Elder Madame, they hoped it would help expand the possibilities for the Hong Kong Circle.

Now, if a Core Formation cultivator emerged from this circle, it would surely elevate the overall influence of the Hong Kong Circle.

Having a Core Formation master could squeeze them into the first-tier strength rankings and they would be invited by other family cultivator groups to participate in the global star exploration plans being strategized.

This could allow them to covet more cultivation resources.
