Chapter 384: Chapter 384 Family Reunion (5)_1

"Qiqi is still outside; Yiyi has returned. It’s about time to go to the barracks to watch their training," Lan Hong replied.

"Father, Mother," a person dressed in a water-blue robe walked in as they were speaking and saluted the two of them.

"Yiyi, you’re back? Good, come with me to see your brother," Gu’e beckoned to Lan Yi as she looked at him.

The approaching figure paused for a moment, then continued walking to her side and asked, "Brother has been found? Where is he?"

"He’s in the back; let’s go take a look."

Gu’e led Lan Yi away. Lan Hong looked at the elixir in his hand, pondered for a moment, and commanded, "Someone, go and invite Old Turtle."

Because Dugu Qianye had a contractual relationship with Lan Yue, the maid arranged for them to stay together in a courtyard. When Gu’e and Lan Yi arrived, the two were studying coral in the yard. Seeing them, the duo rose to greet them.

"Mother, why have you come?" Lan Yue went over and clasped her arm, speaking.

"I’m here to see how they’ve arranged things for you. I’ve also brought your second brother to see you." Gu’e patted the hand Lan Yue had wrapped around her own, "Here, let me introduce you. This is Lan Yue’s second brother, Lan Yi. Yiyi, this is your third brother, and this is his Pledged Master."

When Lan Yi saw Lan Yue, his eyes flickered, which Dugu Qianye happened to catch. Hearing that Dugu Qianye was Lan Yue’s Pledged Master, Lan Yi exclaimed, "Third brother has entered into a contract with a human?"

Lan Yue said with a cheerful smile, "Yes. Sister is my Pledged Master, and I’m now her Contract Beast."

Seeing that Lan Yue had been contracted by a human, Lan Yi’s expression turned quite strange. Gu’e thought he was just surprised for the moment, but Dugu Qianye saw relief and reassurance in his expression.

She lowered her eyelids, realizing some things in her heart.

"Third brother has just come back; you can always visit me, and if there’s anything you need, you can tell me. I haven’t had the chance to take care of you before," Lan Yi patted Lan Yue’s shoulder as he spoke.

"Heh heh, thanks, second brother. I will," Lan Yue said with a smile.

"How long do you plan to stay this time around, third brother?" Lan Yi inquired.

Gu’e also looked at them; she knew that Dugu Qianye had found her mother and would surely return to shore.

"We’ll leave in a couple of days," Dugu Qianye said. "But before I go, I’ll prepare another batch of elixirs for you."

She had no desire to participate in the Sea Clan’s war. Neither her nor Lan Yue’s ranks were high, and going would be futile. She didn’t consider herself so formidable to intervene in everything. However, due to her relationship with Lan Yue and the others, she would prepare some elixirs for them to give them a better chance.

Gu’e also did not wish for Dugu Qianye to participate. First, because neither she nor Lan Yue was of high strength, and second, because if Dugu Qianye were to get involved, it would bring up old grudges between the Sea Clan and the Human Tribe.

"In that case, leave in a couple of days," Gu’e said. "The situation is becoming more urgent; war could break out at any time, and it’s better for you to leave sooner. You’ll need to take good care of Lan Yue after that."

"I will," Dugu Qianye said gravely.

"Then I’ll trouble you with this. My brother is still young, please take good care of him. Mother, we shouldn’t disturb them anymore," Lan Yi said, playing the role of an elder brother quite well.

Gu’e nodded and exchanged a few more words with Dugu Qianye before leaving.

Watching Lan Yi and Gu’e disappear around the corner, Dugu Qianye suddenly asked Lan Yue, "Lan Yue, if you were asked to stay here as the king of the Sea Clan, would you be willing?"

"Why are you asking me this, sister?" Lan Yue couldn’t understand why Dugu Qianye would say such a thing, thinking that Dugu Qianye no longer wanted her. With a face about to cry, she said, "I’ve said wherever you go, Baby would follow. Although I can’t bear to leave Mother, I still don’t want to stay here. Sister, you can’t abandon Baby!"

Looking at Lan Yue’s aggrieved face, perhaps it was better for him to remain innocent like this. Since he had no intention of staying here anyway, it would be best not to tell him about the grudges of this place and let him maintain a feeling of complete familial love in his heart.

Having thought it through, Dugu Qianye decided not to share her discovery and seeing his anxious near-tears expression, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter, saying, "I was just saying it casually. I didn’t really plan to leave you here. I’m going in to practice alchemy, do you want to come?"

"Yes, yes, I want to go in."

Dugu Qianye and Lan Yue went inside the house, and since she herself disliked being served by others, not a single maid was kept. After returning to their room, Dugu Qianye took Lan Yue into the Refining Demon Pot.

"I’m going to find Brother Xiaojiu and the others," Lan Yue said as she ran off.

Dugu Qianye went to see Mo Qiushui and found that she had almost fully recovered. They chatted for a while before Dugu Qianye went to the Alchemy Room to practice alchemy.

As she pushed the door open and entered, she found Mo Feng still inside and couldn’t help asking, "You haven’t been here the whole time, have you?"

Upon seeing Dugu Qianye, Mo Feng put down what he was holding and said, "Sister, I found an elixir in the Pill Book that works well on Spiritual Beasts, but I can’t seem to refine it according to the recipe. Take a look for me?"

"Oh? Our Mo Feng is stumped?" Dugu Qianye took the Pill Book and studied it carefully, finding indeed it was a very promising elixir. She tried refining it according to the method described in the book, but also failed.

"I also failed at this step," Mo Feng said as he saw Dugu Qianye’s failure and opened the furnace lid, letting a burnt smell waft out.

Dugu Qianye looked at the recipe and said, "The recipe seems feasible, so why would it fail at this step?" She checked the waste residues again and found white hard lumps in them. It was these lumps that exploded at this step, ruining all the ingredients.

When Mo Feng saw what Dugu Qianye was holding, he said, "Sister, is there something wrong with the white lumps? They are also one of the main ingredients."

"Look, the white lumps haven’t dissolved yet, but in the recipe, they should have already turned into liquid," Dugu Qianye handed the Pill Book to Mo Feng, saying, "Perhaps the reason we failed lies right here."

"So we just need to melt it into a liquid?"

Dugu Qianye shook her head and said, "To make it melt, we must choose the right ingredients that will not only cause it to dissolve but also not affect the overall potency of the medicine."

Mo Feng nodded and said, "I understand. As for the fusible ingredients, which should we choose?" Dugu Qianye gave a hint and left the rest for Mo Feng to work out on his own, while she started refining other elixirs in the furnace.

When she finished a batch of elixirs, Mo Feng approached and said, "Sister, I’ve chosen this Water Demon Flower, do you think it will work?"

Dugu Qianye looked at the ingredient in his hand, and although it was also what she had in mind, she still said, "Whether it works or not, you need to try it out to know. Remember, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. You’ll only know the outcome after trying for yourself. Advice from others is just that, suggestions."
