Chapter 669: Farewell 2

Su Zian, however, remained expressionless: "Now your mother and your eldest brother's lives are in your hands. If you can invite Leng Yaoshi back, they'll be fine. If you can't, they're finished!"

Suxi was stunned by the shock.

"Daddy, actually Leng Yaoshi doesn't give your daughter any special treatment…" Suxi was about to explain, but Su Zian glared at her, instantly silencing her in fear.

"Xi'er! Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. Think about your eldest brother and your mother." Su Zian patted her head, "You stay here and plead sincerely. Leng Yaoshi is so good to you, he will definitely soften."

"But Daddy… Leng Yaoshi isn't good to me at all…" Suxi wanted to cry but couldn't. She didn't know what was going on. Why did everyone assume Leng Yaoshi liked her so much?

"Suxi, if you're like this, Daddy will be very disappointed." Su Zian looked at Suxi seriously.

Alright… Suxi acquiesced.

"What about you, Daddy?" Suxi tilted her head, full of anticipation.

"Daddy is going to the palace to request an imperial decree from His Majesty." Su Zian said and left in a hurry.

Inside the room.

Leng Yaoshi sat upright in the room. In front of him was a small dark red tea table. On the tea table was a small red clay stove, on which a pot of tea was simmering. The water was boiling, making a bubbling sound.

To drink tea, one naturally needs company.

At this moment, someone was sitting opposite Leng Yaoshi.

This person was none other than Su Luo.

After rinsing the tea once, Leng Yaoshi brewed another cup and placed it in front of Su Luo, saying slowly, "This is Heart Purifying Tea. Have a try."

"Heart Purifying Tea?" Su Luo took a sip. Suddenly, a look of enjoyment and satisfaction appeared on her face.

After just one sip, Su Luo felt a sense of etherealness as if she were in the clouds. She felt a warm current slowly flowing through her entire body from her abdomen. This feeling was wonderful.

"This tea?" It's strange.

Leng Yaoshi smiled with satisfaction, "People who drink Heart Purifying Tea for the first time will more or less increase their spiritual power a little. How do you feel now?"

"It feels like I'm about to break through to the fifth rank." Su Luo felt the spiritual power slowly flowing within her body, seemingly about to break through but not quite, as if searching for a way out.

"If you can break through to the fifth rank, it won't be in vain for this old man to take out the Heart Purifying Tea I've treasured for many years for you." Leng Yaoshi smiled mysteriously.

A huge question mark hung over Su Luo's head: "What are the benefits of breaking through to the fifth rank?"

"At least you'll have the minimum qualification for selection."

"Qualification for what?" Su Luo opened her eyes wide with curiosity.

"Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed…" Leng Yaoshi stroked his chin, "It's just that your alchemy is still at the initial stage. This is a bit unfavorable."

Su Luo looked at Leng Yaoshi with a face full of suspicion. She always had a feeling that the person in front of her was about to sell her out.

"Take out the pills you've refined and let this old man take a look." Leng Yaoshi stroked his beard, "Although you're only a low-level alchemist, if the pills you refine are effective, there's still a chance, after all, you only started learning half a year ago."

"A chance for what? Leng Yaoshi, just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush." Su Luo looked at him expectantly.

"The time is not yet right. You, just wait patiently. It won't be bad news." Leng Yaoshi refused to reveal a single word.

Since she couldn't get an answer, Su Luo obediently stopped asking.

She took out the Spiritual Essence Pills she had refined from her sleeve and handed them to Leng Yaoshi: "These were all refined recently. Please take a look."

When Leng Yaoshi saw the milky white pills, his expression paused slightly. He took them and examined them carefully, sniffed them, and finally tasted one.

He showed a look of surprise: "This isn't a low-level Spiritual Essence Pill!"
