When the apprehensive Dian Qing and Mei Sanniang saw the two legendary Divine Elixirs floating in Qing Mo's hand—the elixirs that had made Great Qin's veteran general Wang Jian ten years younger—
Their eyes widened instantly. Even their breathing grew a little strained, and their faces were already filled with longing!
"Is that the Divine Elixir that can extend one's lifespan?!"
Before Dian Qing and Mei Sanniang could speak again, Yan Lingji's eyes went wide the moment she saw the two pills!
Smack...!
"Ow! Sister, why did you hit me?!"
"I was just curious and wanted to take a look!"
Just as Yan Lingji curiously reached out to touch them, Zi Nu wordlessly raised her hand and lightly smacked the back of her hand, making her immediately pull it back!
"Take a look?!" Zi Nu smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes deep. "I think you were planning to look them right into your stomach, weren't you?!"
"Behave yourself, sit properly, and don't interrupt the Imperial Preceptor while he's discussing business with others!"
Since Qing Mo had asked her to keep Yan Lingji in line, Zi Nu naturally had to show the authority expected of an older sister!
Fortunately, it was Zi Nu keeping Yan Lingji in check. If Liu Yurou, the real big sister, had been the one doing it, Yan Lingji would probably have been scared to tears!
"Got it, got it!"
"I'll just look, all right?!"
Yan Lingji pouted. In any case, she had no say in the matter right now; whatever they said went!
"Y-yes! My junior sister and I came precisely for the Longevity-Extending Divine Pill in your hands, Imperial Preceptor!"
"Go on! Those people seeking an audience with me are just like you—they all want something from me that can extend their lives!"
"I... we... I...!"
