Shu Xiyao remembered that the gift Bai Ze gave him was a blue hollow box.

He took out a box from his space ring and asked, "Is this it?"

Bai Ze nodded.

"Are you sure you want me to open it now?"

"Um."

Shu Xiyao opened the box, and inside was a white pill that was shining with colorful light: "This is..."

"Huh?" Taotie leaned forward and took a look: "Isn't this the Immortal Marrow Pill?"

The pill in the box was exactly the same as the one Gu Ming gave Gong Xiurong last night.

Bai Ze hummed: "It's the Immortal Marrow Pill."

I saw the Immortal Marrow Pill when I opened a gift last night. I kept it for myself thinking it might be useful in the future, but I didn’t expect to use it so soon.

Shu Xiyao was curious: "What is the Immortal Marrow Pill?"

Taotie told him the benefits that Mu Nanjin mentioned.

Shu Xiyao was surprised and said, "Can it allow me to advance to the Golden Core Stage or the Nascent Soul Stage instantly? Is there really such a powerful pill?"

"The pills made by immortals are of course powerful for immortal cultivators."

"Immortal's elixir?" Shu Xiyao was even more surprised: "Where did you get the immortal's elixir?"

"Eat quickly, and you will become stronger."

Taotie took the pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

"etc."

Shu Xiyao put the pill back into the box.

Taotie didn't understand: "Why don't you eat? Don't you want to become stronger?"

"I do, of course I do, but I have things to do right now, so I can't go into seclusion for the time being. I still need to seek someone's opinion before deciding whether to advance to a higher realm or not."

"Who? Who do you want to ask for permission?"

"He is a person who has done me a favor. As for the matter of eating the Immortal Marrow Pill, we can talk about it in two days."

Taotie nodded: "Since he is your benefactor, he is also your father's benefactor."

Shu Xiyao was ashamed.

"Since you don't want to eat the Immortal Marrow Pill, then I will take you to see my mother, your grandmother, she..."

Taotie pointed outside, and suddenly he remembered that Mu Nanjin was not at home: "She is on duty now."

Shu Xiyao's mouth twitched wildly: "I have to go on duty later, let's talk about it when I get back in the evening."

Taotie knew that he had to be on time for duty, so he didn't make it difficult for him: "Well, I'll come to see you in the evening."

"Well, have you had breakfast? Do you want to ask the servants to prepare breakfast for you?"

Taotie was about to say yes, but Bai Ze said first, "No need."

Taotie pouted unhappily: "Why not?"

"We have already prepared a lot of breakfast at home. There is no need to trouble my nephew to prepare breakfast."

Bai Ze pulled Taotie away.

Taotie quickly called out, "Son, I'll come see you again in the evening."

Nephew: “…”

At this moment, he didn't know how to describe his feelings. He was happy that Taotie cared about him so much, but every time he heard him call him son, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Now he felt a headache when he thought about the other party taking him to see his mother.

I really don't know what excuse to use to refuse Taotie, but not going is not an option. And if I want to go, I have to prepare gifts, but the other party's mother may not be interested in mortal things, and may even think that he kidnapped her son.

At the same time, Mu Nanjin, who had already arrived at the state residence, suddenly sneezed.

[Is it Gu Ming who is thinking about me again? ]

The officials of Daqian Kingdom couldn't help but look at him.

Captain Liu came over and asked, "Mu Nanjin, where did you go yesterday?"

Mu Nanjin rubbed his nose and said, "Take your friends to the street for a walk."

"That's strange. This is the first time I hear you say you have a friend. Who is it? Tell me about it."

Captain Liu had been with her for such a long time, but this was the first time he heard her say that she had friends.

"Public repair."

Mu Nanjin didn't explain further.

"Please repair your appearance...Please repair your appearance...Please repair your appearance..."

Captain Liu suddenly remembered who Gong Xiurong was. His eyes widened. "Isn't Gong Xiurong the man who gave you the brothel? I remember that he was... the prince of the ancient Dongzhao Kingdom. Why did he come to Daqian Kingdom again? What is he doing here? He doesn't want to attack Daqian Kingdom, does he?"

【Captain Liu has a really wild imagination.】

Captain Liu: “…”

What is a brain hole?

Mu Nanjin said: "A few years ago, he was indeed a prince, and later he became the emperor of the ancient country of Dongzhao."

"Emperor?"

Captain Liu couldn't help but raise his voice. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he quickly lowered his voice and asked, "Is he the emperor now?"

"Not anymore."

Liu Qianhu glared at her and said, "You are kidding me, right?"

"Why would I play tricks on you?" Mu Nanjin glanced at him and said, "He was indeed the emperor for a while and then he stopped being one. Now he is just the prince of the ancient country of Dongzhao and the prince of the ancient country of Beihan. He came to Daqian just to see me."

Captain Liu said, "This shows that he knows how to be grateful. You saved his life, and not only did he give you three brothels, he also came all the way back to see you. It seems that you two have a good relationship."

This is good. When medium or high-level countries attack them in the future, Gong Xiurong may lead troops to help them, so they will not be isolated and helpless.

[Not only did we get along well, I was even a noble lady in his palace.]

[Ah, I really miss the days when he served me in the room. ]

“Cough cough cough…”

Not only Captain Liu, but other officials around him were choked by their own saliva.

Mu Nanjin frowned: "Why are you coughing so badly all of a sudden?"

Captain Liu’s face turned red from coughing.

He waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.

After a while, he finally caught his breath: "Does the governor know he's coming?"

[Why did you mention Gu Ming out of nowhere? ]

"I know. They met last night. What happened?"

Captain Liu asked again: "There was no fighting, right?"

"No."

“Nothing!?”

This surprised Captain Liu.

Is it because Gong Xiurong is a prince of an ancient country that he didn't take action? Mu Nanjin asked: "Do you hope they can fight?"

"Well, of course not."

At this time, the Minister of Rites came over and said, "The Crown Prince and Princess of Jiuyu Kingdom said that they would rest in the state residence for the next two days and would not go out for a walk. They also told us that we don't need to stay here to entertain them."

"In that case..." Captain Liu said to Mu Nanjin, "You should go back and accompany your friend. Maybe one day, you will need his help for the Great Qian Kingdom."

Mu Nanjin probably understood what he meant and replied: "After all, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire."

Captain Liu: “…”

Mu Nanjin walked towards the main hall.

Captain Liu asked: "Aren't you going back?"

"I'll have breakfast and then go back."

Captain Liu was ashamed: "Is the Mu Mansion so short of food?"

"right."

Captain Liu thought it was not nice for her to eat breakfast alone in the main hall, so he took the Minister of Rites and others into the main hall to eat together.

Mu Nanjin did not go home immediately after breakfast, but went to three stores to look at the account books. When she saw the full pages of numbers, she was overwhelmed and wished she could catch everyone in the Ministry of Revenue to do the accounting for her.

Finally, she gave up and had to hire someone to settle the account, and then she returned to the Mu Mansion at night.

As soon as she entered the door, Taotie rushed over and said, "Mom, you're back."
