"Go inside and speak to your grandmother," Dugu Yilan instructed the guard. "Ask her to be a bit accommodating."
The guard thought he was being too indulgent with her! Still, he dared not voice it out loud and turned to go inform Feng Sani.
"Oh? A fiancé and a brother?" Feng Sani wasn’t angry upon hearing the guard’s words and said, "Otherwise, she wouldn’t co in? Such a temperant really does resemble her father’s. Let them in together. After all, it’s about ti these silly rules were changed."
"Yes." The guard went out and said to Dugu Qianye and others, "The lady invites you in."
Dugu Qianye and the others entered, and Dugu Yilan greeted the person seated at the head of the room, saying, "Grandmother, we have returned."
"Great-grandmother," chid in both Dugu Qianqian and Dugu Qianqi.
After finishing the tea in her cup, Feng Sani asked, "You said that you have acquired the Fire Dragon Pill, is it true?"
Dugu Yilan took out a jade bottle and handed it to Feng Sani, saying, "Grandmother, here is the Fire Dragon Pill. It was crafted by Baili Xie during the last match of the alchemist competition."
Feng Sani poured the elixir from the jade bottle into her hand, and a surge of wild energy suddenly swept over her. Observing the patterns on the elixir, she hadn’t expected to see patterns on a tenth-grade elixir.
She tucked away the elixir and questioned, "I’ve also heard of Baili Xie. Did you manage to invite the Black and White Impermanence?"
"They said they would recomnd their nephew Baili Xie to co over; if he’s not up to the task, they’d make the trip themselves."
"Their nephew? Who?"
"Cough cough, it’s indeed Baili Xie, the one who crafted the Fire Dragon Pill, but he couldn’t join us due to so matters." To protect Dugu Qianye, Dugu Yilan told a small lie.
"Hmm. You need to take responsibility for contacting them. We can’t delay your grandfather’s condition any longer," Feng Sani instructed.
"I will," responded Dugu Yilan.
"Qianqian and Qianqi, you both have worked hard as well. Go rest for now," Feng Sani said as she looked at Dugu Qianqian and Dugu Qianqi.
"Yes, great-grandmother, we will co to see you again when we have ti," said Dugu Qianqian, glancing at Dugu Qianye before she and Dugu Qianqi took their leave.
Although Feng Sani was talking to Dugu Yilan and the others, she was watching Dugu Qianye the whole ti, noticing that she showed no discontent or sense of inferiority, simply standing there quietly.
"You are Dugu Qianye?" Feng Sani asked, looking at Dugu Qianye.
"Yes," Dugu Qianye simply acknowledged, without further words.
"Are you very dissatisfied with the family?" Feng Sani continued to inquire.
"What do you think?" countered Dugu Qianye.
"Why?"
"What fondness could I have for a family that wishes to kill and my mother?" Dugu Qianye retorted with a scoff.
Feng Sani knew she was aware of the incident when Dugu Yunheng had led n to the Xuanyue Continent, intending to kill Dugu Qianye and Mo Qiushui when he found them.
"But you are still alive," Feng Sani stated.
"That’s why you are still alive," Dugu Qianye replied.
"Heh, what arrogance," Feng Sani said, looking at Dugu Qianye. Her deep gaze was inscrutable, showing no sign of anger.
"High praise indeed," Dugu Qianye responded.
"What have you co back for this ti?" Feng Sani asked.
"Nothing special, just wanted to see what the family my father once lived in was like," said Dugu Qianye, her aura was not at all inferior to Feng Sani’s.
With the ntion of Dugu Yixuan, Feng Sani’s eyes softened, and it took her a long while before she spoke, "You have yet to call great-grandmother."
Hmm?
Seeing that Dugu Qianye did not react imdiately, Feng Sani sighed and repeated her previous statent, "Your father called grandmother. You have not yet called great-grandmother."
Is she acknowledging her?!
"But you all wanted to kill back then, and now you just accept so easily?" Dugu Qianye couldn’t help but voice her doubts.
Feng Sani sighed and said, "Your great-grandfather regretted it as soon as he returned. Back then, he spoke in anger and didn’t truly an it. If it had been before the marriage, we might have tried to stop it. But now that we have you, it’s too late to quibble over matters of status."
"But I’m a waste who can’t cultivate," Dugu Qianye said.
"Geniuses have their way of life, and those who cannot cultivate have their own joys," Feng Sani leaned back in the chair, looking sowhat weary as she spoke. "You cannot cultivate, so just live a simple life. What good is it for your father to dazzle the continent? In the end, he still..."
Dugu Qianye had not expected Feng Sani to have such thoughts. She thought this part would be difficult for her!
"Qianye, your great-grandmother has accepted you; won’t you call her to hear it?" urged Dugu Yilan.
"Great... Grandmother," Dugu Qianye said awkwardly for the first ti.
"Hehe, good child," Feng Sani looked at Dugu Qianye. Though she could not cultivate, she was as straightforward as her father, and Feng Sani was very fond of her!
"Since you cannot cultivate, you don’t need to worry about all those unnecessary things. Just live a good life here. Though I am quite old, I can still provide you with a stable life," Feng Sani said.
Those who cannot cultivate only live for about a hundred years, and she could promise her several decades of peace.
"Great-grandmother..." Dugu Qianye looked at Feng Sani, feeling sowhat moved.
"Your father’s house is still there; I have always had it cleaned on ti. You can live in your father’s house. Tell your third uncle directly if you need anything. Your, uh, fiancé and brother should also temporary move in there," Feng Sani said, looking at Zi Xiao. "He can’t cultivate either? How did you two et?"
"He can cultivate," said Dugu Qianye. Such obvious fluctuations of spiritual power, couldn’t she see it?
"Qianye, I see that you are soone with strong convictions. If you’re going to choose a fiancé, you should find soone more like yourself. Otherwise, when you’re old and he is still young, there will be many problems. Moreover, he is clearly no ordinary person. Following him will be exhausting. While you’re not yet married, consider it carefully!"
"Great-grandmother, you can’t let Little Yeye be irresponsible!" Zi Xiao chid in with his familiar nature.
"Hmm?"
Zi Xiao looked at Dugu Qianye and said, "Little Yeye has already said she would be responsible for . If you let her go back on her word now, wouldn’t that make her irresponsible?"
Looking toward Dugu Qianye and seeing her nod, Feng Sani rubbed her forehead and said, "Ah, we can’t manage the affairs of you young people anymore."
Feng Sani thought they had already lived as husband and wife in substance, while Dugu Qianye had rely acknowledged the promise to be responsible. That’s how misunderstandings begin!
