Qian Youxue had come up with some explanations that should be able to fool her grandmother and Granny Chen.
She pursed her lips and said mysteriously, "Actually, a few years ago, Youxue accidentally met Wuxie, the young master of Medicine King Valley. He not only cured Youxue's face, but also taught Youxue some medical skills. These pills were given to me by him before he left Xuanwu City."
"What did you say? You know the young master of Medicine King Valley, and your face has been healed? This...this..." The old lady stood up excitedly, thinking she had misheard, and looked at the bewildered Granny Chen.
Granny Chen stood there dumbfounded, staring straight at the young lady's face.
Qian Youxue winked mischievously again, took out another porcelain bottle from her body, poured the medicine from the bottle into her palm, rubbed her hands on her face, and her ugly face was transformed into a beautiful face like a lotus emerging from water.
"Quick, come here and let your grandmother touch your face. It's really hard to believe this is real. Am I hearing things?" The old lady beckoned to Qian Youxue.
Granny Chen rubbed her eyes to make sure what she was seeing was real, and curiously moved closer. While the old lady was touching the young lady's face, she couldn't help but touch it as well.
"Really, my baby is no longer an ugly monster, she's really healed! Heaven has eyes, heaven has eyes... Waaah..." The old lady cried tears of joy, hugging Qian Youxue and sobbing loudly.
Qian Youxue patted her grandmother, who was crying like a child. She felt a little guilty for making the old woman worry for so long, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Grandma. Youxue didn't mean to hide it from you. Please don't be angry."
The old lady snapped out of her reverie, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at her beloved granddaughter with loving eyes. She said with deep emotion, "Grandma has seen everything you've lived over the years. It's just that Grandma is old and useless, and many things in the Qian family are no longer under Grandma's control. Now that you have the ability, Grandma is overjoyed, how could she be angry?"
“Young Miss, the old lady has been worried about you all the time. Now that you are not only better, but you have also learned medical skills, what could make the old lady happier than this?” Granny Chen listened to the old lady’s words and was happy for the grandmother and granddaughter.
"It's good that Grandmother isn't angry. Now you all believe these pills are real, right?" Qian Youxue tilted her head and smiled brightly.
"believe!"
"believe!"
The master and servant nodded happily. Then, the old lady asked, "You just said that the young master has left. Did you say when he will be back?"
"He didn't say. He only said that we'd meet again someday." Qian Youxue didn't intend to reveal everything; it was more reassuring to keep some things to herself.
Upon hearing this, the old lady's previously happy face turned gloomy again, and she murmured, "If that young master were in the city, perhaps Bowen would still have a sliver of hope. But this time... alas... this child is truly unfortunate; he shouldn't have been born into the Qian family."
"Madam!" Granny Chen gently shook her head at the old lady.
Qian Youxue noticed the subtle movements and guessed that her grandmother was hiding something. She boldly speculated in her heart that it might be related to Bowen, so she blurted out, "Grandmother, I have something else to tell you. Youxue's spiritual root has been repaired, and she can cultivate now. However, Youxue's spiritual root was not born with a problem, but was poisoned by someone."
