According to Zhang Fang and Dai Yuxing, the higher-ups are looking to select new guards for the lord, and the team is expanding, but only a few can actually get close to him.

Even Dai Yuxing, the deputy protector, had fewer opportunities to serve the master closely than they did because he came later than them.

Shen Dongxue was afraid that if she left for too long, the adults would forget her and fall in love with someone else instead!

Moonlight: Do I look like such a fickle person?

Shen Dongxue smiled playfully and said, "This subordinate is reluctant to leave you, my lord, for too long!"

Moonlight: Hmm, it's so sweet!

"Little Bead, give me an antidote pill and a rejuvenating pill."

[Master, what do you need the pills for?]

"Feng Yang and Xi Qiang Feng Yu Ge want Luo Feng's child to inherit Luo Xia Manor, and Luo Xue and Dong Xue are his biggest obstacles."

I don't need to worry about Dongxue being by my side. I'm just afraid he might try something underhanded with Luoxue.

Don't forget, in the original timeline, Luo Xue didn't have a happy ending.

[The master gave her an elixir, which is tantamount to giving her two lives. How could Luo Xue be worthy of such care from the master?]

"This is all because of Dongxue. Besides, Luoxue has a very good reputation; she is an upright and honest person. She shouldn't have died at the hands of a villain."

While Yi Tong was still talking, Luo Xue, sitting at the lower seat, had widened her eyes and was tightly holding her daughter's hand.

While pouring her tea, Shen Chunying, who was standing on the other side of her, secretly signaled to her not to make a sound.

Luo Xue nodded slightly, trying to calm her heart, which was pounding wildly in her throat.

This is what her daughter subtly reminded her of several times after asking her about her true feelings for the Junior Tutor and confirming that she was genuinely grateful to him. The Junior Tutor was of extraordinary status and possessed supernatural abilities.

[Master, one pill is too much. A mortal like her can't handle the dosage of the elixir; she'll burst.]

"Then make it into small pills suitable for ordinary martial artists, and pack two of each for me."

The system divided one pill into five portions. This was only because Luo Xue's martial arts cultivation was superior. If it were an ordinary person, the potency of the medicine would be too great.

At this moment, Luo Xue held Dong Xue's hand even tighter.

She was thinking that even without her daughter's reminder, she knew the revered position of the Junior Tutor in Dayan, but she didn't expect that the identity her daughter mentioned was extraordinary and not the identity of Junior Tutor at all!

Elixir of immortality? For mortals!

The identity of the person in front of you is obvious.

It can be said that Luo Xue, being a seasoned veteran, quickly figured out the key point.

Unlike back then, it took Shen Chunying and the others a long time to figure out Yue Fuguang's 'true' identity.

Thinking of such a powerful patron in front of her, if it weren't for the fact that she needed to finalize Dongxue's future status as the heir to Luoxia Manor and that Dongxue also needed to meet with various people, she wouldn't have wanted her daughter to go back with her.

After calming herself down, Luo Xue followed Shen Dongxue's words and said, "Yes, sir, Dongxue has been telling me that she can't live without you."

So this time, even if I come back with you, I'll only stay for a few days before returning!

She smiled with a loving expression, showing how much she truly loved her daughter, Dongxue.

Yue Fuguang smiled and said, "Since Master Luo is in such a hurry to go back, I won't keep you any longer."

As she spoke, she took out two exquisite little jade bottles from her sleeve. "This is a return gift for Master Luo. The white bottle contains antidote pills that can cure all poisons."

"This blue bottle contains Rejuvenation Pills; it can be used when severely injured."

To thank Yue Fuguang for helping her find her daughter, Luo Xue sent several carriages full of gifts, which she considered a return gift.

【Master, our antidote pills can cure all poisons in the world, not just all poisons.】

The dosage of the Rejuvenating Pill I left for her was enough to save her as long as she had a breath left, and she wouldn't suffer any hidden injuries afterward.

Hearing the explanation from the mysterious child, and seeing the real 'elixir' placed on the table in front of him.

Luo Xue couldn't sit still any longer. She hurriedly stood up and waved her hand frantically, saying, "No, no, no, Young Master, this is too much! Luo Xue is unworthy of such a gift."

She really wanted to say that the gifts she sent in those few truckloads were nowhere near worth two bottles of elixir, and that the young master was being far too generous to his own people!

Such elixirs are so rare that they're worth a fortune at auctions, and you can only look at them if you want.

Yue Fuguang gestured with his hand and said, "Master Luo, please sit down and speak. You can rest assured to accept these two bottles of pills. Once you accept them and your safety is guaranteed, Dongxue can stay by my side and serve with peace of mind, instead of worrying about your safety every day."

After thinking for a moment, she still reminded him, "Master Luo, the Feng family of Xiqiang will not give up on annexing Luoxia Manor. You should be prepared."

Even if you're more vigilant on ordinary days, you should still be wary of those you trust most.

[Master, in the original timeline, Luo Xue died two years later, which was done by Feng Yang and his group bribing people around her.]

They also used poison.

Upon hearing this, Shen Dongxue looked at her mother with concern. Luo Xue gently patted her hand to reassure her.

Luo Xue had already decided that Luo Feng's body would not be buried on the Luo family's ancestral cemetery, which indirectly told outsiders that Luo Feng's branch of the family had no right to inherit the manor.

Regardless, she would first legally sever his branch's right of inheritance.

Shen Dongxue gritted her teeth and suddenly knelt on one knee before Yue Fuguang, saying, "On behalf of my mother, Dongxue thanks the Junior Tutor for the medicine."

From now on, Dongxue's life belongs to you, sir. Wherever you point, Dongxue will fight!

Yue Fuguang believed this. In just a short while, Shen Dongxue's favorability towards her had surged from over 80 to over 90, and was now hovering around 98.

This is someone I can absolutely trust right now.

Of course, one should be generous to one's own people. She smiled and said, "Get up! What would I do with your life? But I do prefer the idea that you'll do whatever I point to you!"

That's right. With the master and Little Pearl around, they won't die as long as they don't do anything stupid.

Serving a master requires absolute loyalty and obedience.

He then said to Luo Xue, "Master Luo, your daughter has already thanked us, so please accept the gift without worry!"

Luo Xue no longer declined, stood up, bowed, and said, "Luo Xue thanks you for the medicine, sir. From now on, Luo Xue and Luoxia Manor will follow your lead!"

The moonlight nodded, "That's exactly what I was waiting for. Today's work wasn't in vain."

After seeing off the Luo family mother and daughter, Yue Fuguang resumed her days of attending court and going to school.

News of the death of the master of Dayan Fengyu Pavilion also spread quickly.

At this time, the capital city seemed peaceful and tranquil, but undercurrents were surging because Feng Yang, the head of the Fengyu Pavilion, and Song Shan, the prince of Dongyi, were hiding in the shadows and had not yet shown themselves.

Unbeknownst to Emperor Mingxi, besides these two forces, many more hands had already reached in, intertwining with the dark forces that had been lurking in the capital.

The period that is about to begin is destined to be anything but peaceful.

Standing on the pavilion, Yue Fuguang gazed into the distance and couldn't help but sigh, "A storm is brewing!"

Cuizhu glanced at the clear sky outside the window and said, "Miss, is it going to rain on such a nice day?"

Before the moonlight could bring wind and rain, it was greeted by her study companions.

Why do we say "them"?
