Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Return to the Family(3)_1

"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 Sanmei.

"Oh? A fiancé and a brother?" Feng Sanmei wasn’t angry upon hearing the guard’s words and said, "Otherwise, she wouldn’t come in? Such a temperament really does resemble her father’s. Let them in together. After all, it’s about time 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," chimed in both Dugu Qianqian and Dugu Qianqi.

After finishing the tea in her cup, Feng Sanmei 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 Sanmei, saying, "Grandmother, here is the Fire Dragon Pill. It was crafted by Baili Xie during the last match of the alchemist competition."

Feng Sanmei 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 recommend their nephew Baili Xie to come 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 some 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 Sanmei instructed.

"I will," responded Dugu Yilan.

"Qianqian and Qianqi, you both have worked hard as well. Go rest for now," Feng Sanmei said as she looked at Dugu Qianqian and Dugu Qianqi.

"Yes, great-grandmother, we will come to see you again when we have time," said Dugu Qianqian, glancing at Dugu Qianye before she and Dugu Qianqi took their leave.

Although Feng Sanmei was talking to Dugu Yilan and the others, she was watching Dugu Qianye the whole time, noticing that she showed no discontent or sense of inferiority, simply standing there quietly.

"You are Dugu Qianye?" Feng Sanmei asked, looking at Dugu Qianye.

"Yes," Dugu Qianye simply acknowledged, without further words.

"Are you very dissatisfied with the family?" Feng Sanmei continued to inquire.

"What do you think?" countered Dugu Qianye.

"Why?"

"What fondness could I have for a family that wishes to kill me and my mother?" Dugu Qianye retorted with a scoff.

Feng Sanmei knew she was aware of the incident when Dugu Yunheng had led men to the Xuanyue Continent, intending to kill Dugu Qianye and Mo Qiushui when he found them.

"But you are still alive," Feng Sanmei stated.

"That’s why you are still alive," Dugu Qianye replied.

"Heh, what arrogance," Feng Sanmei said, looking at Dugu Qianye. Her deep gaze was inscrutable, showing no sign of anger.

"High praise indeed," Dugu Qianye responded.

"What have you come back for this time?" Feng Sanmei 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 Sanmei’s.

With the mention of Dugu Yixuan, Feng Sanmei’s eyes softened, and it took her a long while before she spoke, "You have yet to call me great-grandmother."

Hmm?

Seeing that Dugu Qianye did not react immediately, Feng Sanmei sighed and repeated her previous statement, "Your father called me grandmother. You have not yet called me great-grandmother."

Is she acknowledging her?!

"But you all wanted to kill me back then, and now you just accept me so easily?" Dugu Qianye couldn’t help but voice her doubts.

Feng Sanmei sighed and said, "Your great-grandfather regretted it as soon as he returned. Back then, he spoke in anger and didn’t truly mean 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 Sanmei leaned back in the chair, looking somewhat 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 Sanmei 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 time.

"Hehe, good child," Feng Sanmei looked at Dugu Qianye. Though she could not cultivate, she was as straightforward as her father, and Feng Sanmei 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 Sanmei 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 Sanmei, feeling somewhat moved.

"Your father’s house is still there; I have always had it cleaned on time. 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 Sanmei said, looking at Zi Xiao. "He can’t cultivate either? How did you two meet?"

"He can cultivate," said Dugu Qianye. Such obvious fluctuations of spiritual power, couldn’t she see it?

"Qianye, I see that you are someone with strong convictions. If you’re going to choose a fiancé, you should find someone 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 chimed in with his familiar nature.

"Hmm?"

Zi Xiao looked at Dugu Qianye and said, "Little Yeye has already said she would be responsible for me. 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 Sanmei rubbed her forehead and said, "Ah, we can’t manage the affairs of you young people anymore."

Feng Sanmei thought they had already lived as husband and wife in substance, while Dugu Qianye had merely acknowledged the promise to be responsible. That’s how misunderstandings begin!
