Chapter 291: Chapter 291 Blooming Because of You_1

"Her Highness the Empress?"

When mentioning the Empress, an expression that could only be seen on the face of religious devotees appeared on the old woman’s face, weathered by years of hardships.

Anyone who knew of the Luanfeng Pavilion was aware that the Pavilion was established by the Empress, and the Empress had thus become a sort of belief-like existence for it.

Then, Xi Yu conveyed all the information she knew to the old woman. After hearing Xi Yu’s words, the old woman’s brows furrowed: "Are you saying that the Empress could borrow a corpse to resurrect her soul and possess the half-divine strength of today, all because of the Empress’s own planning?"

"It should be so." Xi Yu nodded.

After pondering for a moment, the old woman asked, "What relationship does Li Muyun have with the Empress?"

Xi Yu glanced at Wu Qiyi by her side and saw Wu Qiyi nod slightly before she spoke, "Report to the Owner, the Empress was once deeply infatuated with Emperor Li Zhi, and Li Muyun is the reincarnation of Li Zhi."

"What!?"

The old woman stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with shock: "You’re saying that kid is the reincarnation of Li Zhi?"

"Precisely for this reason, the Empress has been exceedingly forbearing towards Master Li."

The old woman frowned and asked, "Does that mean he also has some entanglement with the Empress?"

"It’s unclear at the moment. Given the Empress’s nature, it seems unlikely. Her forbearance towards Master Li should only be out of consideration for the affection of the past."

"Hmm, I understand," the old woman nodded slightly.

Xi Yu asked, "Now that the Owner understands, will you cancel the suitor selection?"

The old woman threw her head back and laughed coldly, "Who said? The suitor selection will proceed as usual. Didn’t you say Li Muyun is quite capable? If so, let him also come and participate. One more person won’t make a difference."

"He won’t come."

Wu Qiyi sat on an old-fashioned fabric sofa, determination naturally appearing on her exquisite face. You

"Why not come, afraid of not being able to compare with those four gentlemen from aristocratic families?"

Faced with her grandmother’s skepticism, Wu Qiyi laughed confidently, as if your existence was her true source of faith.

"It’s not fear, but disdain," Wu Qiyi’s voice grew colder, "Grandmother, I understand your intentions and I know you truly care for me. But my life can only be controlled by myself. Even if I only had two years left, I would have no regrets."

The old woman looked steadily at Wu Qiyi. She did not speak, and neither did Qiyi.

Force her?

That was impossible.

On the surface, the old woman was the Master of the Luanfeng Pavilion, but in fact, Wu Qiyi had been in full control of the Pavilion’s power for over three years—she was the real Luanfeng Pavilion Master!

The old woman was well aware that Wu Qiyi was the reincarnation of the Empress and naturally inherited the Empress’s great wisdom and authoritative heart. She was also the most outstanding Pavilion Master in the more than fourteen hundred years of the Luanfeng Pavilion’s history.

Wu Qiyi was always methodical in her actions. Every step she took was calculated meticulously, and she had never made a miscalculation. Today, since she had come to visit her grandmother personally, it was partly due to kinship and partly to make her stance clear.

After a long while, the old woman finally let out a long sigh: "Enough, let’s put this matter aside for now. You’ve come all this way to see your grandmother; surely it wasn’t to argue with me?"

"Yes, of course I came to visit Grandma."

Wu Qiyi beamed a smile, as soothing as a spring breeze, as vibrant as flowers in full bloom, which naturally brought a kind smile to the old lady’s face: "Since you’re here, stay at Grandma’s house for three days."

"Alright."

Seeing that the ripple of tension had subsided, Xi Yu added on the side, "Owner, what about the matter of selecting a suitor?"

"Send them another invitation, telling them not to come anymore, and by the way, send a small gift to each of the gentlemen."

No sooner had the old lady finished speaking than Wu Qiyi added, "Just give each of them one Returning Yuan Pill."

"The Returning Yuan Pill?" Upon hearing this, the old lady’s face changed immediately, "How can you give away something so valuable at will?"

Wu Qiyi stood up and sat next to the old lady, showing a rare bird-like dependence, and said to her, "Grandma, those four Returning Yuan Pills, well, they were given to me by that brat you mentioned!"

"Hm? Where did that boy get the Returning Yuan Pills?"

Wu Qiyi said nothing, and Xi Yu took over the conversation: "Report to the Owner, Luanfeng Pavilion has terminated the contract with the Shangguan Family, and now all the Dan Medicine of the Luanfeng Pavilion comes from Master Li’s hand."

"Outrageous! The Shangguan Family has been practicing alchemy since the Han Dynasty; how could that boy compare to them! Besides, what kind of Dan Medicine could a milk nosed brat possibly concoct!"

Having anticipated this response, Wu Qiyi smiled, winked at Xi Yu, who then took out a delicate little porcelain bottle from her bosom, and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady took the porcelain bottle, opened the stopper, and poured out a pill that radiated a misty aura, almost like a piece of jade.

The tiny pill rested in her palm, imparting a unique coolness to the old lady.

"Is this... is this the Returning Yuan Pill?"

"Indeed."

The old lady showed a surprised look on her face, then sniffed the pill and felt a sense of exhilaration, "Who is the great master who concocted this? Next to it, the pills that Shangguan Fei concocted are simply crap!"

Wu Qiyi looked at her grandmother in amazement; in her eyes, her grandmother was always the lady of ladies, a figure of grace and dignity, who had never spoken a coarse word in her life.

Realizing her own lapse, the old lady coughed and then turned to Wu Qiyi, "Er Ya, who concocted this pill? I must go and visit him. This person, he must be able to concoct the Return Soul Pill that can delay the progress of your illness."

Looking at her grandmother, who has always loved her since she was a child, Wu Qiyi said with a smile, "Grandma, this is concocted by the very ’brat’ you mentioned."

"What?" For a moment, the old lady did not react, her face seeming frozen.

Xi Yu continued after Wu Qiyi, "Owner, as for the Return Soul Pill you mentioned, Master Li has already concocted one for Miss. He extracted a pill from Shangguan Fei’s concoction, which has allowed Miss to feel no discomfort over the past month."

"Really!?"

The old lady immediately grabbed Wu Qiyi’s arm, took her pulse, and then exhaling softly, looked at Wu Qiyi and, shaking her head with a sigh, said, "You girl, always keeping things to yourself, if this boy is so good, why didn’t you bring him to see Grandma sooner?"

"Grandma, my relationship with him is rather complicated, and I do not want to confuse him because of it."

Thinking of you, Wu Qiyi couldn’t help but reveal a blissful smile, a smile that she would only show for you and because of you.
