As he spoke, Zheng Bin took a deep breath and couldn’t hide the disappointment in his tone. “I’ve given you countless chances in the past six months, but you’ve never cherished them. This time, you almost offended Master Lu and the Second Master. Don’t you know who they are?! Let’s not talk about the Second Master. Just look at Master Lu. She’s an honorable alchemist. The higher-ups value her very much. They even reminded me not to offend her. But you kept making things difficult for them… Fortunately, Master Lu and Second Master didn’t make a fuss. Otherwise…”

Although Zheng Bin didn’t say it very clearly, Duan Zhicheng and the others understood what he meant very well.

Long Xueni, who was originally a bit resentful towards Lu Zijia, was even more terrified.

“I told you not to blame her. If she wants to do herself in, let her be. I originally wanted to find a chance to ask Master Lu if he could sell me a few pills. Now, there’s no chance at all. Are you happy now?” Shi Mulan’s first words were for Zheng Bin and Duan Zhicheng, and the last sentence was naturally for Long Xueni.

“I… I didn’t do it on purpose. I… I didn’t know she was an alchemist. I…” Long Xueni finally couldn’t take the pressure and cried, looking very pitiful.

However, Shi Mulan didn’t buy it. “Long Xueni! Do you still not understand? The key isn’t whether she’s an alchemist or not, but your attitude. You think too highly of yourself! Do you know that in the eyes of Second Master Mu, you’re just an ant that he can crush with one finger, but you think you’re so powerful? That’s ridiculous!”

As Shi Mulan spoke, Long Xueni’s tears fell even more fiercely. However, this time, Duan Zhicheng didn’t defend her again.

…

Lu Zijia and the others didn’t go back to the Mu family directly, but rushed to the hospital to return Yi Shiyuan’s soul.

Not long after the soul returned to its place, Yi Shiyuan woke up.

Lu Zijia left a bottle of Heqi Pills silently and left the hospital quietly, and went back to the old mansion of the Mu family.

Du Xiangjun, who was hugging Yi Shiyuan and crying with joy, only realized that her daughter and son-in-law had left quietly after a long time.

Thinking of how she lost her composure just then, Du Xiangjun couldn’t help blushing a bit.

“Alright, stop crying, or Jiajia will think that I’m bullying you.” Yi Shiyuan wiped her tears gently and looked at her red and swollen eyes with heartache.

Du Xiangjun patted him lightly in anger and laughter. “Even you’re laughing at me?”

Yi Shiyuan pulled her into his arms gently. “It’s not a joke. My heart just aches for you. I made you worry about me.

“Xiao Jun, after what happened, I think I want to bring our wedding forward. Can I?”

Du Xiangjun was a bit tempted, but she thought of something and looked a bit troubled. “Shiyuan, I’m willing to marry you, but Jiajia…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Jiajia. I believe that Jiajia also wants you to be happy.”

Hearing her concerns, Yi Shiyuan hugged her even tighter, unable to suppress the happiness in his heart.

…

After confirming the news about the ancient martial arts expert from the Taiyi Pill Furnace, Mu Tianyan started paying attention to the matter.

Lu Zijia refined the two Blood Ginsengs she got from the black market into pills and gave them to Mu Tianyan.
