"It should be."
"Does the lord wish to see him?"
Shen Chunying is now a person in the officialdom, and the official they follow, though of high rank and great power, does not covet power and does not like to meddle in affairs.
Therefore, as those close to them, they naturally needed to be well-informed, and there were also discerning people in the court who would secretly pass on information to them day and night.
Some time ago, she heard that Lord He's brother-in-law, Lord Xue Zhipan, had died at home, and everyone was tight-lipped about the cause of his death.
It seems to involve Tianxinglou and the Panshan organization, whose name they only recently heard of. His youngest son, He Huan, is also said to have died on the same day at the Xue residence, in the same manner as Xue Zhipan.
Coincidentally, a few days later, He Qisha's younger brother, He Jiuyang, went missing...
Therefore, everyone knows that the Seven Swords Manor is in dire straits. At this time, the manor lord, He Qisha, requests an audience with the lord, but Shen Chunying is afraid that he will cause trouble for Yue Fuguang.
At this moment, Yue Fuguang is both most afraid of trouble and least afraid of trouble.
She fears trouble because she's lazy and doesn't want to worry; she's not afraid of trouble because her increasingly stable position and expanding personal power make her fearless.
So when faced with Shen Chunying's question, she only thought for a moment before saying, "It wouldn't hurt to meet her."
If something is too troublesome, she can simply pass it on to her family or the imperial court.
Meanwhile, the He family father and daughter they were talking about were traveling day and night with Shen Dongxue towards the capital.
"Niece of the Luo family, shouldn't the Grand Tutor have received your letter by now?"
He Qisha, feeling a little uneasy, began his third inquiry of the day as he hurried along.
Shen Dongxue... no, Shen Dongxue has already been recognized by her ancestors and returned to her clan, so she should be called Luo Shendong now.
Luo Shendong smiled good-naturedly and said, "Uncle He, the master must have already received my message by carrier pigeon."
Seeing that He Qisha was getting more and more nervous as he got closer to the capital, she couldn't help but reassure him again, "Uncle He, Sister Ajin, you don't need to be nervous."
Our master is a very easygoing person. As long as you follow my mother's advice and treat him with respect and sincerity, the young master will certainly not punish you.
But whether you'll be accepted depends on fate and your luck!
How many people in the capital want to curry favor with the Junior Tutor?
How many of them are truly successful?
Therefore, every one of them who was able to stay by the adult's side was extremely lucky. In the words of her older sister Chunying, they had used up all their luck in their lives to meet the adult.
Dressed in a purple outfit, as beautiful and dashing as a hibiscus flower in full bloom in July, He Jin smiled upon hearing her words.
She said, "Father, Dong'er is right. As long as we show our utmost sincerity, I believe the Junior Tutor will see it."
While she was comforting her father, she was also comforting herself. Didn't she see that they would arrive in the capital tomorrow? Her hands holding the reins had been sweating even more these past two days!
The next day, after the morning court session, just after lunch, Cuizhu came to report that Shen Dongxue had returned and was already at the second gate.
Yue Fuguang smiled and said, "Cuizhu, Dongxue has already been recognized by her ancestors. You should call her Luo Shendong when you see her in the future."
As soon as Yue Fuguang and Cuiyu sat down in the flower hall, they looked up and saw Luo Shendong and the Shen Chunying sisters walking in together.
"My lord, your subordinate has returned!" Luo Shendong greeted Yue Fuguang with a smile and clasped his hands in a salute.
Yue Fuguang smiled and nodded, saying, "It's good that you're back safe and sound."
She pointed to the chair below her and said, "You two sit down and talk."
After the two thanked him and sat down, Luo Shendong recounted some of his experiences along the way, and finally asked, "Sir, would you like to meet the He family father and daughter mentioned in my message by carrier pigeon?"
"Shen Dong, you said in your letter that the father and daughter came to express their gratitude, but it seems that I haven't helped them at all. So what is this gratitude for?"
She did have the idea of bringing the Five Mountains and Six Villages under her control, but the sudden appearance of the Seven Swords Manor, with whom she had no prior connection, was indeed a bit abrupt.
When asked about the reason, Luo Shendong stood up somewhat embarrassed and said, "My lord, this was all done on my own initiative by my daughter and me."
He Qisha was a close friend of my mother. He was seriously injured by a villain, but the master gave him an antidote and a rejuvenation pill.
My daughter and I made a detour to Seven Swords Manor on our way back to Luoxia Manor.
The mother set aside one of the Rejuvenation Pills given to her by the adults and gave it to the severely injured He Qisha.
At this point, Luo Shendong stood up and bowed, saying, "My mother and I have taken it upon ourselves to give away the things bestowed upon us by Your Excellency. Please forgive us."
"Sit down. You don't need to be so careful. Now that I've given the things to Luo Xue, they belong to her. She has the right to dispose of them as she sees fit."
"It seems the Rejuvenation Pill is working well; He Qi's injuries are healed?"
Yue Fuguang had only heard the system talk about how good the Rejuvenation Pill, originally priced at thirty points, was, but she had never actually seen how effective a pill divided into more than a dozen parts would be for severely injuring mortal martial artists.
Speaking of the effects of the Rejuvenation Pill, Luo Shendong's face lit up with a big smile, and she was even a little excited. She said, "My lord, you may not know this, but when my mother and I arrived at Seven Swords Manor, He Qisha was already so badly injured that he could not get out of bed."
The doctor diagnosed him with a life expectancy of no more than three months. However, after using the adult's elixir, He Qisha not only recovered from his injuries in less than half an hour, but his martial arts cultivation also improved.
Her eyes, gazing at the moonlight, were filled with stars. "The master's elixir is no exaggeration to call it a celestial pill."
Originally a pill for cultivators, it can naturally be called a celestial pill if given to mortals.
However, if we were to actually give them the elixirs that we immortals consume, your mortal bodies would not be able to withstand true immortal pills.
When Cui Zhu, Shen Chunying, and Luo Shendong heard the Artifact Master's complaints, they all smiled inwardly. It was the Artifact Master who enlightened them, and only then did they realize that there were so many differences between 'elixirs'.
After praising the elixir, Luo Shendong continued, "After He Qisha recovers from his injuries, my mother thought that Seven Swords Manor and Luoxia Manor might be of some use to the Young Master."
Without the master's permission, he told He Qisha where the elixir came from, which led to He Qisha accompanying his subordinates to the capital to express his gratitude.
It was our presumptuous decision to act; please forgive us, sir!
As she spoke, Luo Shendong stood up again. She was actually quite uneasy. They had acted rashly and she didn't know if the adults would blame them.
After a moment of contemplation, Yue Fuguang realized that she knew a lot about the guards around her. From Dai Yuxing and Zhang Fang to the Shen sisters, Liu Wei, and Xu Xiaoman, they were all very tight-lipped about their affairs.
He never reveals a single thing about himself to outsiders.
Therefore, she could guess to some extent what the Luo family mother and daughter were thinking.
It's simply that after rescuing her old friend, Luo Xue wanted to bring the Seven Swords Manor into her camp as well.
In this way, he would gain more power, and the Seven Swords Manor would have him as its backer, the most popular and extraordinary young master of the dynasty.
