Upon hearing this, Elder Yuan looked at the butler.
"Since the young master has pleaded for you, then you may leave! Be more careful in the future!"
The servants bowed their heads in gratitude.
"Thank you so much, Patriarch! Thank you so much, young masters!"
Then they all left!
Old Yuan, holding Wu Hua, led Qin Luo to the table and sat down.
"You two, tell me honestly, was it your tribe that did it? Why can't you just say what happened directly? Why do you have to go to such extremes? Did you go through a lot of trouble to escape?"
The two had to admire his imagination, and Qin Luo could only start to lie.
"Grandpa, this wasn't done by our clansmen, it was..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wu Hua interrupted her.
"It was our guardian beast, Lord Kang, who did it!"
Mr. Yuan was a learned and knowledgeable man, so he naturally knew what Kang was.
Putting aside whether the legendary auspicious beast exists or not, he truly never imagined that the auspicious beast Dang Kang would actually poison people! This is too fantastical!
Why did Lord Kang drug us?
"Because, because..."
Since it simply wouldn't come out, Qin Luo immediately took over.
"Because it wanted to see us, but couldn't use magic on humans, and didn't want to frighten you, it sprinkled some secret medicine on you. But don't worry! Our tribe's secret medicine has no side effects at all, and can even improve blood circulation and relieve pain! It's very good for your health!"
Wu Hua immediately echoed her words.
"Yes! That's it!"
Mr. Yuan looked at the two of them with suspicion, but they were not intimidated at all.
Qin Luo also took out two ancient books and two packets of pills and placed them on the table.
"This is a New Year's gift from Lord Kang!"
Mr. Yuan picked up the ancient book and flipped through it, immediately becoming enamored with it.
"Since it's such a kind gesture from you, I won't stand on ceremony! Is this pill the same as the previous one? This is far too precious!"
Qin Luo opened the pill and showed it to him.
"One packet is the same as before, and the other packet contains fertility pills, ten pills in total. You can give them to people like Madam Nie who want children!"
Old Yuan was a shrewd old fox; he immediately picked up on the unspoken meaning in the words.
"Don't worry, child! I guarantee this fertility pill will never be auctioned off! Every baby born into this world is a precious treasure, and Grandpa would never be so heartless as to sell it!"
After he finished speaking, Qin Luo nodded and said, "Grandpa, Lord Kang will bless you!"
Wu Hua nodded in agreement: "Yes!"
Yuan Lao became increasingly interested in Lord Dang Kang, so he asked them some questions about him.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua, working in tandem, recounted how they helped the disaster victims.
He recounted how he fought the bad guys, speaking from the perspective of an observer.
After hearing this, Yuan Lao was filled with admiration for Lord Kang and immediately decided to build a temple and erect a monument in his honor.
Without hesitation, Wu Hua sponsored a portrait of herself!
"Grandpa, this is what Lord Kang looks like, but he's still small and his fangs haven't grown in yet. When he grows up, he'll have four big fangs and he'll be very majestic!"
Mr. Yuan picked up the portrait and looked at it, then summoned his butler.
"Find the best craftsmen and sculptors, and build a temple for the auspicious beast Dangkang as soon as possible. Sculpt the main image according to this painting, and have the sculptors carve the rest according to the appearance of an adult Dangkang! Remember, an adult Dangkang has four majestic tusks!"
The butler obeyed and left, while Wu Hua looked at Elder Yuan with sparkling eyes.
"Grandpa, you're so kind!"
Old Yuan pinched its little nose.
"You have the sweetest tongue!"
While the grandmother and granddaughter were chatting and laughing, Qin Luo sent a telepathic message to Wu Hua.
"Little one, you stay with Old Master Yuan, I'll go and appease the butler!"
Wu Hua understood her meaning; Old Master Yuan's anger today must have hurt the steward's feelings.
After serving you so diligently for so many years, to be sold off like that would be hard for anyone to bear.
After Wu Hua agreed, Qin Luo found an excuse to leave the main hall.
She found the butler who was about to leave, and handed him a small purse containing pills.
"Grandpa asked me to give this to you. He said that what he said today must have hurt you. It was said in a moment of panic, so he hopes you won't take it to heart!"
The housekeeper took it, and upon hearing these words, tears instantly streamed down her face.
"Young master, you flatter us. How could we servants blame our master?"
Qin Luo could hear the grievance in his words, so she could only continue to comfort him.
"Uncle, do you know what Zai Zai means to Grandpa?"
"I know, the patriarch has been waiting for half his life to finally have the young master! Naturally, he cherishes him more than his own life!"
"If something you value more than your own life disappeared right under your nose, what would you do if you were Grandpa?"
The housekeeper understood this, but he just couldn't help feeling sad.
Qin Luo pointed to the small purse in his hand.
"This is a miraculous medicine that was auctioned off a few days ago. I don't need to elaborate on its value. If Grandpa didn't care about you, there would be no need for him to be so generous!"
The butler stared in disbelief at the purse in his hand; he had initially thought it contained gold coins.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a miraculous medicine worth a million taels of silver; instantly, all the grievances in my heart vanished.
I wish I could immediately dedicate myself to serving Mr. Yuan, even unto death.
Seeing his agitated state, Qin Luo was afraid he would immediately run to Elder Yuan and kowtow to express his gratitude.
"Well, Grandpa is a proud man. The reason he asked me to give it to you is because he didn't know how to face you. Please don't get too excited, just act as usual!"
The butler nodded repeatedly as he listened.
“Young Master is right. I’ve served the head of the family for decades, and he’s always been tough on the outside but soft on the inside!”
Upon hearing this tone, Qin Luo knew it was a good idea!
"Aren't you going on business? Go ahead! Have a few servants with you, and whatever you do, don't do the heavy work yourself!"
