After a good cry, it took Grandpa Bai a while to stop. He felt all the pent-up frustration in his heart dissipate, and he felt much lighter.
This was not an illusion; when Mu Qing was calming Old Master Bai, he also infused his body with wood energy.
Mu Qing took out the jade pendant he had prepared earlier and handed it to Grandpa Bai, saying, "Grandpa, this jade pendant is something I specially prepared for you. You must wear it with you at all times."
Grandpa Bai looked at the jade in his hand; it was of excellent quality. He was delighted and said repeatedly, "Good, good, good, Grandpa will listen to you."
Old Master Bai's health was somewhat deteriorating, but Mu Qing didn't think it was a big problem. Mu Qing planned to go to Xiling Mountain outside Anyang Town to find some ginseng to nourish Old Master Bai with his wood-type supernatural abilities, so that he could gradually recover and it wouldn't easily arouse suspicion.
It's best to be careful in a strange world.
Butler Bai: "Master, these two are the young friends who brought the young master back."
Old Master Bai turned to look at An Yi and An Er, and said with a smile, "Please excuse my rudeness, young heroes. Thank you for escorting my grandson."
An Yi: "Old Master Bai, you're too kind. We were just following orders."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Bai nodded without asking any further questions. He then turned to Butler Bai and said, "Arrange two superior rooms and set out the meal."
Butler Bai: "The accommodations have been arranged, and the meals are ready. Would you like to eat in the bedroom or in the main hall, sir?"
Master Bai: "Go to the main hall. I feel much better now."
Seeing that Old Master Bai was indeed in much better spirits, Butler Bai didn't try to persuade him further and led the people to the hall.
Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Mu Qingxin sighed inwardly, "As expected of a wealthy family in the prosperous Jiangnan region. Three-treasure chicken, smoked duck, braised pork, braised tofu, green vegetables, fried eggs... a whole table of food, making her even hungrier."
Mu Qing: "Grandpa, Butler Grandpa, Brother An Yi, Brother An Er, please sit down and eat. I'm so hungry."
An Yi and An Er exchanged glances and, without any formalities, sat down below Mu Qing.
Butler Bai: "Young Master, I have already eaten. Please enjoy your meal. Is there anything else you would like to eat? I will tell the kitchen to prepare it."
Mu Qing: "No need, Grandpa Butler, let's eat first, and we can add more if it's not enough."
The group ate and chatted, with Old Master Bai asking questions and Mu Qing answering.
Old Master Bai: "Why are you wearing a mask?"
Mu Qing was taken aback, then laughed and said, "It's because your grandson is too handsome, and I'm worried about his safety on the road." As she spoke, she used her wood energy to remove the butterfly mask from her face.
The young man had a smile on his lips, his eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and his face was handsome. In particular, his pair of bright peach blossom eyes made Old Master Bai feel a little dazed.
Grandpa Bai's eyes welled up with tears as he murmured, "Yes, your eyes are just like your grandmother's."
“Your maternal grandmother was once the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan. Her eyes were so captivating that one glance could make anyone fall in love with her.”
"Back then, nine out of ten talented men in Jiangnan were in love with your maternal grandmother. It took all my efforts to stand out and marry her..."
At this point, Old Master Bai's face showed nostalgia, with joy and sorrow flashing across his expression.
An Yi and An Er were also startled when they saw Mu Qing's face. They quickly lowered their heads and stopped looking, and soon calmed themselves down.
He didn't show it on his face, but thought to himself, "No wonder the Third Prince treats him so well. Putting aside his status as the son of the Prime Minister and the grandson of the richest man in Jiangnan, his face alone is enough to make him receive extra preferential treatment."
An Er secretly sized up Mu Qing, but saw no marks. He felt a little regretful, thinking, "Such a handsome and extraordinary person, and he's not bisexual. If he were, he might have been able to have a timeless romance with the Third Prince."
"He knows that the Prime Minister's residence in the capital has two sons and one daughter."
"The eldest son is gentle and refined, and full of talent; the eldest daughter is heroic and unrestrained."
"The young master isn't well-known, but the chances of two people appearing together are so low, it's not surprising that it's not him. It's truly a pity..."
