Chapter 428: Strange Closeness

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yu Miao suddenly felt a little relieved when she heard this.

If he really wanted to hurt her, he didn’t have to lie to her like this. The entire mountain was his, and he knew sorcery.

Yu Miao felt a strange sense of closeness from the man in front of her, like… he’s family.

This was something she had never felt in the Yu family.

However, Yu Miao was still very vigilant and asked, “Why are you helping me? We don’t know each other.”

The old man shook his head. “No, I know your father. He asked me to take good care of you. How can we not know each other?”

Yu Miao’s eyes lit up and she asked, “Really? Could it be that my biological father really asked you to help me?”

She had always known that she had a very powerful father.

According to her mother, that person was very powerful and handsome. He would definitely lead them to a good life.

It was really her father who was secretly helping her!

At the thought of this, Yu Miao’s mood improved a lot and she let down her guard.

The old man said with a smile, “Yes, he even specially reminded me to comfort you.”

In reality, he was just spouting nonsense.

Yu Miao was one of his many grandchildren. He did not care about blood ties at all.

His son had never valued Yu Miao, let alone specially instructed him to take good care of Yu Miao.

He said these words just to let Yu Miao let down her guard earlier.

Yu Miao thought for a while and pointed at He Wan. She asked, “How is she now? Is she still alive?”

She didn’t really care about He Wan. She was just curious and probing.

If the old man was willing to answer, it meant that she still had some weight here and could ask for more.

The old man stroked his beard and shook his head. “I absorbed her luck to help you regain your youth and good luck. Since you care about her so much, forget it. I’ll return her luck.”

With that, he turned around and walked towards He Wan.

However, Yu Miao was anxious. She quickly stood up and ran over. “Forget it. Don’t return it. I want luck!”

Yu Miao knew how important luck was, and she also knew how unlucky and old one would be without luck.

If there was a chance to make her younger, she had to grasp it firmly.

Besides, she didn’t know the woman on the ground. Even if she died, it had nothing to do with her.

The old man’s lips curled up as he looked at Yu Miao mockingly.

Only then did Yu Miao realize that she had been too anxious. She explained, “If the luck is returned, it will also be harming her a second time. It won’t be good for her either.”

This hypocritical explanation was naturally seen through by the old man.

His smile deepened and his gaze held a deeper meaning. “You’re right. It’s not good for her if we return it. It’s better not to return it.”

The old man sneered in his heart.

Yu Miao was indeed a child of their family. She displayed her selfishness and coldness to the extreme and even said that it was for the good of others.

What a joke!

Of course, he did not say these words out loud. Instead, he smiled and said, “Come closer to me. I’ll send you luck through the air.”

Yu Miao was delighted and strode over.

The old man placed his hand on her head and sent her luck.

Yu Miao felt comfortable all over, as if she was bathing in warm sunlight. She couldn’t help but want to take a deep breath.

Gradually, her skin become smooth and tender, and her hair turned black.

The fine lines on her face disappeared, and her dry hair became smoother and smoother.

A moment later, the old man retracted his hand. “That’s enough. You can leave first. Liu Min will bring you out. If your father needs you for something, I’ll ask you to come again.”

Yu Miao smiled and said, “Thank you.”

With that, she walked towards the door of the courtyard, her face filled with joy.

The old man in the courtyard was still standing on the spot.

Wrinkles appeared on his face again, and his hair turned white. His eyes were turbid.

He watched Yu Miao leave with coldness in his eyes.

He really shouldn’t have chosen this idiot to go to the Yu family back then.

Unfortunately, Chen Ling was not obedient.

If Chen Ling went to the Yu family, the outcome should be different.

Then, he looked at He Wan on the ground with a cold expression and snorted. “If I let you die just like that. It’s really too easy for you..”
