Chapter 253 Second Sister, You Are So Awesome
They agreed on the way to give Xuanhuo a surname. Since his name was Zhuque, they would simply give him the surname Zhu and introduce him to others as senior brother.
Even though Xuanhuo had been demoted by who knows how many levels, he was still over two thousand years old, so he gladly accepted the arrangement. Since he was Gu Liyue's contracted beast, it made sense for him to be of the same generation as her.
Gu Liyue and Xuanhuo stood up and saluted: "Madam Wen, thank you for bothering you these past few days."
She looked at the three of them, Gu Liyue, and recognized Gu Liyue, who used to be the eldest daughter of the Gu family. She had become more beautiful now. Compared to her thin figure when she was in the Gu family before, she now had a slender and graceful figure, and her manners were graceful.
She smiled and said, "Okay, okay. Just stay here and let me know if you need anything."
Then he instructed the housekeeper to clean the guest house and prepare to accommodate the guests.
Gu Liyue took out a bottle of third-grade anti-aging pills from the space and said, "This is a gift from me to my wife."
Wen Qinnuan looked at Gu Liyue and said, "Liyue, you don't have to be so polite."
Gu Liyue said, "Madam and I have a connection. Madam has helped me before. I was penniless before, but now I made this elixir myself. Madam, please don't despise it."
Mrs. Wen thought that since she had made it herself, it was at most a second-grade elixir. She also knew that a little girl couldn't produce anything worth spirit stones, but it was the little girl's thoughtfulness, so she accepted it.
"Since you're so kind, I'll accept it."
As soon as Wen Qinnuan saw her mother's expression, she knew what she was thinking. She said, "Mom, open it and see what kind of elixir it is."
Mrs. Wen looked at Gu Liyue and felt it would be rude to open the gift in front of the giver. What if it was something not presentable? Wouldn't that embarrass the guest? Seeing Gu Liyue's smile, she reluctantly opened the bottle.
A burst of medicinal fragrance emanated from the air, which she felt was somewhat familiar, but the intensity of the fragrance was unprecedented. This medicinal fragrance must be the Rejuvenating Pill.
Suddenly, an idea struck her. She had heard before that someone in Qingxuan City was selling a third-grade anti-aging pill. Could this be it? But could this teenage girl actually refine a third-grade anti-aging pill?
Yes, the Gu family is a family of alchemy, so it can be considered a family origin.
Immediately, her gaze towards Gu Liyue became intense. She said, "This is the legendary third-grade anti-aging pill. It's far too expensive! No, no, no, I can't accept this gift from you."
Gu Liyue said, "It's fine as long as it's suitable for you, Madam. You don't have to be polite with me."
Seeing her nonchalant look, Mrs. Wen really didn't take the third-grade anti-aging pill seriously. She also saw that Wen Qinnuan seemed to have something to say to her.
He said, "It is suitable for both purposes. In Donglin City, I have only heard of this kind of medicine, but no one has been able to obtain it yet."
Seeing that the mother and daughter seemed to have something to say, Gu Liyue said, "Madam, please accept it with peace of mind. We have been traveling a lot these past few days. Why don't you let the maid take us to the guest house to settle down first?"
Madam Wen was truly thrilled by the bottle of elixir, but was too embarrassed to say it. She said, "Look at me, I'm so happy to see my second daughter. I'll have the maid take you to rest. When my master returns tonight, I'll host a banquet for you."
Gu Liyue hated banquets the most. She said, "We are Qin Nuan's friends, so Madam, you don't have to be so polite."
Wen Qinnuan said, "Liyue, you guys can rest and relax first. We can deliver the letter tomorrow."
She nodded and left.
The mother and daughter came to Wen Qinnuan's yard. Wen Qinnuan looked at her own yard. It was exactly the same as before and was also spotlessly clean. She felt at ease to return home.
But thinking about leaving again soon, I feel a little sad. Once I reach Cangwu Realm and have established myself, I will definitely bring my parents, my eldest sister, my third sister, and my youngest brother over with me.
She suppressed her emotions and said to her mother with a smile, "Mom, you don't know how wonderful Nuan'er has been in the past year."
Mrs. Wen looked at her with a smile and listened to her talk about her time at Qingxuan Academy. Her words were full of regret that her cultivation progress was too slow.
Mrs. Wen patted her hands and comforted her, "You are already very good, Nuan'er."
Wen Qinnuan then talked about Gu Liyue. She said, "Liyue is the most amazingly talented person. Don't you know her..."
Mrs. Wen was stunned when she heard this. There actually was such a person. Just now she thought that she could only refine first or second grade pills, but she didn't expect that she could actually refine sixth grade pills. In Donglin Country, there was probably no one who could refine sixth grade pills!
Wen Qinnuan looked at her mother and asked, "How has my elder sister's illness been these past two years?"
Speaking of her eldest daughter's illness, Mrs. Wen sighed, "Ah, she's still the same, very weak. It's lucky she's been able to last this long."
Wen Qinnuan also sighed. Her eldest sister, Wen Qinyang, had been frail and sickly since childhood, unable to cultivate. She had been bedridden for the past few years, having consulted numerous doctors and practitioners, but none of them could help. They all said her foundation was too weak and that she could only be cared for. Some even predicted she wouldn't live past twenty.
Fortunately, she survived the ordeal at the age of 20 two years ago. Her whole family was worried about her, as if she had just passed a major hurdle.
At this time, a clear female voice said: "I heard that the second sister is back, right?"
Wen Qinnuan looked outside the door and a pretty girl walked in. She looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with a round face and a sweet smile.
When she saw Wen Qinnuan, she happily threw herself into her arms and raised her head: "Second sister, you haven't been back for a long time."
Wen Qinnuan caught her little sister and looked at her, feeling warm in her heart: "Yeah, are you happy to see me?"
"I'm happy. Second sister is the best person to Yan'er." She said, "Why do I feel that Second sister is even more beautiful when I look at her?"
"Of course, your second sister's cultivation has improved again." Mrs. Wen said.
Wen Qinyan is also a cultivator, currently at the third level of Qi Refining. As she listened to her mother's words, an expression of envy appeared on her face: "Second sister, you are so amazing!"
Wen Qinnuan smiled and said, "If you work harder, you can do it. There are always people who are better than you. Second sister thinks you need to improve your cultivation faster."
After hearing this, Wen Qinyan thought about her words.
Madam Wen said, "Well, your second sister has been traveling for several days, so don't stay in her arms."
Wen Qinyan immediately stood up and squeezed in to sit next to Wen Qinnuan.
After the mother and daughter finished their conversation, they dispersed. Madam Wen told Wen Qinnuan, "Rest for a while. Then go and invite your Senior Sister Gu and the others to have dinner together tonight."
Wen Qinnuan said, "Don't make it too exaggerated. Just treat it as an ordinary family dinner. I think Liyue is impatient with those banquets. Also, don't spread the news that we're back."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wen felt that she still had something to say, so she had to agree.
It was time for dinner, and Wen Qinnuan invited Gu Liyue and the others to the dining room of the Wen Mansion.
There she met Prime Minister Wen, who looked like an elegant scholar, a middle-aged man with a smile on his face. One could tell at a glance that he was someone who could handle the court with ease.
