Furong's Ordeal (3)
"Hmph!" Fei Denan took out a piece of jade from his Storage Bag, cast a few hand seals, and said to the jade, "Junior Sister Qiu, I, Fei Denan, need you to come here immediately." He then crushed it in his hand. He then took out another piece of jade, cast the same spell, and shouted sharply, "Lan Bingxue, you come here!" He crushed the jade to pieces.
After doing all this, Fei Denan paced back and forth in the lobby, fuming.
Yue Qianchou also came to his senses. He finally understood why Fei Denan had insisted on bringing him to the Sang Cao Garden to Spirit Nurturing Grass —it was all to take care of Furong. Just who was this ugly girl? He stared speechlessly at the panicked Furong. She was probably frightened because she heard Elder Lan was coming.
Not long after, the voice of the gatekeeper disciple came from outside the hall. "Elder Qiu."
A graceful woman led a pretty young girl into the room. Yue Qianchou recognized the woman; she was Elder Qiu, who was in charge of treating the disciples of Fu Xian Island. He had never seen the girl before.
Yue Qianchou bowed and said, "Disciple Yue Qianchou greets Elder Qiu." Furong also wanted to stand up and bow, but Elder Fei pressed her shoulder down and said, "It is not appropriate for you to stand. Elder Qiu will not mind." He then turned his head and said, "Junior sister, come and take a look at her. Her thigh bones are broken, and there should be some other injuries. I am not good at treating her. You are an expert in this area, so I have to ask you to come."
Elder Qiu nodded and said, "Senior brother, you don't need to be so polite with me." He walked up to Furong, and when he saw her face, he paused slightly. He then asked Fei Denan, "Is this Furong?" The latter nodded sadly.
Holy crap! Just who is this girl? How come some big shot knows her? Yue Qianchou had to re-evaluate this ugly girl.
"Ninth Aunt, Elder Lan." The voice of the gatekeeper disciple came from outside the door again. Lan Bingxue, with a cold smile on her face, helped Grandma Ma Jiu in.
"Ninth Aunt," Fei Denan and Elder Qiu greeted.
"Ninth Aunt, Elder Lan," Yue Qianchou greeted the pretty young girl. Furong, who was about to bow, was once again stopped by Fei Denan's hand.
Lan Bingxue sneered, "Fei Denan, what do you want with me?"
Fei Denan, his face contorted with rage, pointed at Furong and shouted at her, "Did you break her legs?"
Lan Bingxue glanced at Furong and said, "Did she tell you herself?"
"I'm asking you, did you interrupt?" Fei Denan shouted again.
"So what if it is? Are you heartbroken?" Lan Bingxue said contemptuously, "I should have killed her and that little bitch together."
"Fine, fine, what did you promise back then?" Fei Denan's chest heaved rapidly as he angrily said, "You promised Ninth Aunt and me that as long as I didn't see her again, you wouldn't hurt her. I've kept my promise all along, so what have you done?"
There's something going on, something going on, there must be something going on! Yue Qianchou glanced at Fei Denan and then at Lan Bingxue.
Grandma Ma Jiu slammed her cane down heavily, silencing the entire hall except for Fei Denan's rapid breathing. She walked over to Furong, casually touched Furong's legs, and then suddenly lifted her half-drooping eyelids. Her eyes narrowed as she stared at Lan Bingxue and said in a deep voice, "Lan girl, what's going on?"
A hint of panic flashed across Lan Bingxue's face. She quickly walked over, made a hand gesture, and whispered in Grandma Ma Jiu's ear, pointing at Yue Qianchou from time to time.
Yue Qianchou knew she was using a kind of sound transmission Law Technique, which could not be heard by anyone except the designated person, but why was she always pointing at him? He was annoyed. Now everyone was staring at him, and Fei Denan was staring at him with bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to eat him up.
After listening to Lan Bingxue's explanation, Grandma Ma Jiu's eyelids returned to normal, and she shook her head, saying, "Lan girl! I have my own plans for this matter. Why are you interfering? Since you have broken your promise, Denan has the right to reunite with his daughter. Don't try to take advantage of her again, or I won't forgive you."
Daughter? Are you talking about Furong? Yue Qianchou understood most of it. He guessed Furong was the daughter of Fei Denan and some other woman, whose affair was discovered by his wife, who killed his lover. Afterwards, the two made some kind of agreement, and Lan Bingxue took his daughter away. But what does this have to do with me? Why is that gossipy old woman referring to me?
Fei Denan's anger instantly turned to surprise, as if he couldn't believe it was true. Lan Bingxue's face changed color, and she stared at Furong with trembling eyes. A faint white mist emanated from her body, and the temperature in the entire hall immediately dropped.
"What? Lan girl, you don't agree?" Grandma Ma Jiu poked with her cane.
Lan Bingxue shook her head and said, "I wouldn't dare." But her eyes were full of resentment as she stared at Yue Qianchou, making Yue Qianchou's heart pound. He knew it was probably because he had ruined her plans. Now, he had inadvertently made another formidable enemy.
"Alright, Furong doesn't need to go back to Sang Cao Garden anymore. Denan, don't pursue the matter of Lan'er hurting someone. From today onwards, you two should pretend this never happened and stop making trouble." Grandma Ma Jiu turned her head and said, "Denan, you're in charge of Myriad Fragrance Garden. If I make this decision, will you agree to it?"
Fei Denan said with delight, "It's all up to Ninth Aunt. Fei Denan thank Ninth Aunt for making this possible." He was naturally happy to get his daughter back.
Furong, who was standing to the side, was timid but not stupid. At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears and she was biting her lip tightly.
Yue Qianchou was pondering how to get along with Lan Bingxue in the future, he suddenly heard Grandma Ma Jiu's voice say, "Yue Qianchou, I heard you've refined quite a few Foundation Establishment Pill. You must have successfully Foundation Establishment!"
Yue Qianchou's face darkened as he looked at her, and then he heard her say, "Don't worry about others hearing me. I'm using Divine Sense to transmit my voice, so only you can hear it. Don't worry about others hearing me."
It seemed that what he had said to Yan Zixia had no effect; she still told Grandma Ma Jiu about it. This woman... A slight sense of disgust flashed through his mind. Yue Qianchou nodded unhappily, admitting that he had successfully Foundation Establishment.
Grandma Ma Jiu then said to him, "Then I congratulate you. If anyone inquires about your Foundation Establishment in the future, just tell them that I gave you the Foundation Establishment Pill." Yue Qianchou nodded again, knowing that her actions were a gesture of goodwill, helping him avoid a lot of trouble. Logically, this was exactly what he wanted, and he should be happy, but the thought that it was his woman who had leaked the secret made him unable to feel happy at all.
"De Nan, Yue Qianchou has successfully Foundation Establishment. Report this to him!" Grandma Ma Jiu suddenly said.
"What? He successfully Foundation Establishment? He... I know." Fei Denan was a little surprised, but since Grandma Ma Jiu said so, it couldn't be false. Besides, he knew in his heart whether he should ask about certain things.
Inside the main hall, besides Elder Qiu, the young girl, and Furong who were unaware of the situation, Lan Bingxue, who was aware of the situation, also looked at Yue Qianchou with some surprise, wondering when he had successfully Foundation Establishment.
She's really going all the way! Why is she doing me such a huge favor? Yue Qianchou sighed inwardly, feeling a chill run down his spine at the thought of someone with such high cultivation scheming against him.
"Your daughter is back by your side now. What are you going to do with Yue Qianchou, whom you've temporarily transferred here?" Grandma Ma Jiu asked.
Fei Denan pondered for a moment and said, "I borrowed him from Elder Guan. I promised to return him. If you, Ninth Aunt, find him useful, then of course he should stay in the Sang Cao Garden. I don't think Elder Guan would have any objections."
Grandma Ma Jiu shook her head and said, "Wouldn't that be forcing someone to do something they don't want to do? I think we should let Yue Qianchou make his own decision! If he wants to go back to the Alchemy Pavilion, then he can go back. If he wants to stay in the Sang Cao Garden, I'll talk to Weiwu and ask him to give this disciple to my Sang Cao Garden directly."
Elder Qiu and the young girl stared at Yue Qianchou intently, wondering why he was so highly regarded by Grandma Ma Jiu.
"Let's do as Ninth Aunt says." Fei Denan nodded and said to Yue Qianchou, "Yue Qianchou, would you like to stay in the Sang Cao Garden or return to the Alchemy Pavilion?"
Yue Qianchou finally understood why Grandma Ma Jiu had been so friendly to him. She wanted him to stay in the Sang Cao Garden. What did he have that she wanted from him? After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "A teacher for a day is a teacher for life. I want to go back to my master's side."
