"You still haven't answered me. How could you possibly kill a Grandmaster?" Ji Dengtu continued to press.
"I..." Zu An was about to speak when Qin Wanru interrupted him.
"Go to the study and explain what happened slowly. Everyone else, go back to your posts. Also, call back all the people who were sent out to look for the son-in-law." There were too many people here, and she was worried that something that might be detrimental to Zu'an might leak out.
Zuan finally understood why the Chu family had seemed so deserted earlier; they had all been sent out to look for him.
It seems that my wife is really good to me.
Ji Dengtu rubbed his hands together and ran to Qin Wanru's side with a fawning smile: "Not bad, not bad, you've thought of everything."
Seeing his fawning manner, Zu'an was speechless. He was clearly a master, but he had turned into a bootlicker.
Qin Wanru frowned slightly, but said nothing, and instead walked towards the study.
Zu'an followed him into the study and gave a general account of what had happened in the mountains, omitting the matter of the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra," since that concerned his life and fortune.
Even so, the crowd was already amazed, marveling at the extraordinary circumstances he had encountered.
"So it turns out that two grandmasters fought, resulting in one death and one injury, which is why you got the advantage." Ji Dengtu was relieved.
Chu Huanzhao, standing to the side, said somewhat indignantly, "Even if he was injured, he was still a Grandmaster, so my brother-in-law can be considered to have killed a Grandmaster. Do you have that ability?"
“I…” Ji Dengtu’s breath hitched, and he really couldn’t refute it.
Ji Dengtu's anger level increased by 228!
He didn't like getting angry at other girls, so he directed all his anger at Zu'an.
Zaun didn't care; he was actually hoping Zaun would contribute as much anger points as possible.
At this moment, Qin Wanru said to herself, "I always thought that Old Man Mi was just an ordinary flower farmer. I never expected that he was actually a grandmaster. I didn't realize it at all all these years."
Ji Dengtu said, "It's not your fault. If a grandmaster wants to hide, it's indeed very difficult to find a flaw."
Qin Wanru frowned slightly: "But what is his purpose in hiding in the Chu family? And what is the identity of that mysterious expert, and why did the two of them fight to the death?"
Ji Dengtu analyzed, "In my opinion, Old Man Mi's hiding his identity in the Chu family is not because he has any designs on the Chu family, but most likely because he is hiding from his enemies. That mysterious expert should be his enemy."
...
Hearing several people expressing their opinions and discussing the conspiracy behind it, Zu An secretly sighed. It was best not to let them know about royal secrets, lest it bring about his death.
Qin Wanru was already recovering from serious injuries, and seeing Zu An return safely, she could no longer hold on and was overcome with drowsiness. Chu Huanzhao then helped her back to rest.
Seeing that she was out of danger and that Zu'an had also returned, Ji Dengtu and his daughter took their leave.
Zu An hurriedly chased after him: "Senior, do you have any Gathering Yuan Pills or anything that can help cultivators improve their cultivation? I'll buy as many as you have."
Ji Dengtu's face darkened: "No!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Ji Dengtu's anger level increased by 361!
Zu An was taken aback. What was he so angry about?
Ji Xiaoxi, who was standing to the side, explained, "Brother Zu, please don't mind. My father swore never to refine pills again because of something that happened back then, because that would help cultivators kill people; so he only refines medicines that can save lives."
Zu An was stunned, never expecting that the usually lewd Ji Dengtu would have such a noble side.
"Then do you know how to refine pills?" Zu An asked, unwilling to give up.
Ji Xiaoxi shook her head: "No, my dad never taught me these things."
Zu An was immediately frustrated. He had originally thought he could get the pills from Ji Dengtu, but now it seemed he would have to rely on himself and depend on the "Gathering Yuan Ancient Scroll".

Something came up today, so there's only one chapter for now. I'll make up for it tomorrow. I've also noted the chapters I owed, but because there's a part of the plot that's still not quite clear, I can't rush it.
