Jiang Yuetong put away the books in her hands and said to Li Qingrong in a low voice, "By the way, I also need to trouble you to help me refine a pill to repair my spiritual root."

Li Qingrong raised an eyebrow, then took out a celadon porcelain bottle from her storage bag and waved it in front of her.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuetong immediately understood.

Li Qingrong said with a smile, "When you asked me if I could refine it, I knew you would need it sooner or later, so I prepared it in advance."

Reaching out to take the porcelain bottle, Jiang Yuetong looked down at the object in her hand and pursed her red lips: "Thank you."

Li Qingrong smiled and said, "You're too kind. If you hadn't helped me carry so many things, I wouldn't have been able to refine whatever I wanted."

Indeed, thanks to Jiang Yuetong, she no longer needs to rely on her family or sell the pills she refined on the black market; she is now quite wealthy.

Thinking of the spirit stones that were almost overflowing in her storage bag, Li Qingrong couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

I never imagined she'd have this day.

Jiang Yuetong, standing beside her, looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Sigh, don't try to guess what the female lead is thinking.

After regaining her composure, Jiang Yuetong turned her head and softly called out towards the door, "Qingfeng."

"Master." Qingfeng, who was guarding outside the door, walked in.

Jiang Yuetong handed him the pills to repair her spiritual root, saying coldly, "Taking this will allow her to recover her spiritual power and resume cultivation. From now on... take care of yourself."

Without explicitly stating who "she" was, Qingfeng understood immediately. He then pulled out a contract of indenture from his pocket and asked, "And this..."

Jiang Yuetong said calmly, "Give it to her."

"Yes!" Qingfeng turned and quickly left.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Inside a dilapidated hut, Ru Jing fed a woman leaning against the wall spoonful by spoonful of herbal medicine.

"Who?" She turned her head warily.

Qingfeng, dressed in a black outfit, walked in. Rujing was relieved to see him and turned to continue feeding her mother the medicine.

Afterwards, she took out a handkerchief to wipe her mother's mouth, her mood slightly downcast, and asked without turning her head, "Does Master have any further instructions?"

Qingfeng placed the two items in his hand next to her and said expressionlessly, "This is from your master. Taking this pill will help you repair your spiritual root."

Ru Jing turned her head to look at him, her expression one of astonishment.

Qingfeng ignored her gaze and continued, "And your mother's indenture, you'd better watch yourself from now on."

After saying that, he turned around and tried to leave.

Ru Jing ran over and stopped him, asking incredulously, "Why?"

Why did the master not only refuse to take back the contents of the storage bag, but also give her the unheard-of elixir for repairing spiritual roots, as well as her mother's indenture?

If the master still cares about her, why did he still drive her away?

Qingfeng lowered his eyes to meet her gaze and said coldly, "You know what kind of person the master is. How dare a small general's mansion try to negotiate with her? If you weren't involved, the master wouldn't have bothered with it at all."

But the master is still willing to come in person, simply to find out if you can keep your promise. If you can, what difficulty is there in destroying a general's mansion?

If you can't find the indenture, then have someone search your soul directly. But if you still can't find it, this is what will happen to you.

As for why the master was willing to let you go, I guess it's simply because you had done a good deed before, which can be considered as saving the second young lady's life.

Wen Tian didn't report the matter of the second young lady at the time. Since you've done so much, the master can't easily harm you; perhaps there's some affection involved.
