"Since they're all young ladies, let's give them all the Youth Preservation Pills and have them take them on the spot. If anyone has special requests, we can make appropriate arrangements," Jin Wuyou emphasized, worried that Fang Ruotang might not understand.
"After all, it's compensation for them personally, so it only counts if it's used on them. If we take the other pills back, nine times out of ten they won't be able to use them. Young girls rarely have any illnesses or pains, and they certainly won't need longevity pills. They'll basically all be given to the old lady and old man in their families."
"Okay, you decide. This bag is full of youth-preserving pills. You can distribute them later."
Fang Ruotang was clueless about interpersonal relationships, but she listened to advice.
As the two were talking, the three girls who had arrived early that morning had already had their spiritual roots tested. It was a bit of a pity that not only were they not born with heavenly spiritual roots, but they didn't even have any spiritual roots at all, so they didn't have the chance to stay in the Tianyi Sect.
"Thank you for your hard work. Here are three Youth Preservation Pills. Take one each, so you won't have made a wasted trip." Fang Ruotang nodded with a smile.
She glanced at the three girls, who were dressed in clothes that were about 70-80% new, and spoke and acted somewhat timidly, making it easy to tell that they were born out of wedlock.
Just as Jin Wuyou said, women of noble status are reluctant to lower themselves to come here, but those families want to establish connections, so they send their illegitimate daughters to try.
"ah?"
All three of them let out a small gasp of surprise.
What the elder and younger sisters consider shameful is an opportunity for them, but unfortunately they are not the chosen ones.
Just when I was feeling down, a pleasant surprise came my way, especially since the Grand Preceptor himself emphasized that I had to eat it right away.
This is an absolute surprise!
The Imperial Advisor is so kind!
Is this a human? Or a god?
"Eat quickly! After you finish eating, I'll have someone take you back home."
"Thanks!"
The three of them choked up and swallowed the youth-preserving pills without the slightest hesitation.
Women everywhere, and men too, are all concerned about their appearance.
Given the magnitude of today's event, the three young ladies were dressed poorly, clearly indicating that their lives in the manor were not easy. Therefore, Fang Ruotang deliberately had the people from Tianyi Sect send them back and personally explained the matter of the Youth Preservation Pill, so as not to cause these young ladies further suffering due to her good intentions.
No one came in the morning.
But once noon passed, the Tianyi Sect became lively.
Within just one or two hours, the news of the Youth Preservation Pill had spread far and wide.
In the beginning, some girls were so eager to sell their fiancés to Fang Ruotang for a youth-preserving pill. Now that they had the chance to try it out, who would let it go?
"Isn't she engaged?" Fang Ruotang muttered softly.
Thanks to the persistent feeding from the little mirror, her memory has become quite good; she can recognize a face she has seen once and then see it again the next time.
She remembered that this girl was the same girl who had asked her about her fiancé in front of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion.
She didn't realize the purpose of her question at the time. Later, her older sister poked her head and told her that the girl wanted to sell her fiancé.
She was stunned.
Therefore, when she saw the girl again, she recognized her at a glance.
"Don't you have a fiancé?"
Fang Ruotang couldn't help but step forward and ask.
When the young girl saw Fang Ruotang approaching and talking to her, her face flushed with excitement, her eyes widened, and she asked nervously, "Can't I try it if I have a fiancé?"
"There's no rule against testing, but if it turns out you have an excellent water elemental root, and you still can't marry my fifth brother, that would be so disappointing!"
"What is the Imperial Advisor thinking! As long as they find out I have a water elemental root, I'll definitely become your fifth sister-in-law! As for my original fiancé, I can just break off the engagement!"
The little girl spoke with such conviction that Fang Ruotang was stunned.
"W-Why are you looking at me like that?"
The young girl became anxious again. Her family often scolded her for being stupid and speaking without thinking. Had she just said something that offended the Grand Preceptor?
No way! Her youth-preserving elixir, her path to immortality!
"May I have your name?"
“Shen Lixia, I was born on the day of Lixia, so I got this name.”
"Hmm, Lixia, what a cute name. I look forward to the results of your spiritual root test and hope we can be friends in the future."
Fang Ruotang looked at the other person with a smile.
Shen Lixia nodded excitedly.
Soon it was her turn.
But to everyone's surprise, she really was a top-tier water spirit root, one in a million.
Not to mention Shen Lixia herself, Fang Ruotang was dumbfounded. She looked at it twice and made sure that the spirit stone was correct before she smiled and congratulated everyone.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to you!
Shen Lixia grabbed Fang Ruotang's small hand and shook it vigorously. Then she said excitedly, "I'm going back to break off the engagement right now. Wait for my news. After I break off the engagement, your family will come to propose marriage immediately!"
"Huh?"
Fang Ruotang was dumbfounded, and was about to say something.
Shen Lixia ran away in a flash.
The whole courtyard was in an uproar.
When Shen Lixia was found to have a top-grade water spirit root, some people had already started whispering with envy and jealousy. Now, it's even worse, with people deliberately trying to sow discord among her.
"Isn't this a bit heartless? If she treats her fiancé like this today, she might treat Young Master Fang the same way tomorrow, right?"
Fang Ruotang's smile vanished as she accurately located the girl who had spoken.
Is she engaged?
【No. 】
Unfortunately, we cannot use this as a pretext to retaliate.
However, Fang Ruotang didn't keep her anger to herself.
She walked straight over.
"You only came here because you know how much you can benefit from being my fifth sister-in-law, right? If you were in her shoes today, are you sure you wouldn't make the same decision as her?"
