Chapter 423: 423: Find My Mistress

The next morning, in the middle of the day, while the Tan family had just served lunch and was about to eat, the expected guests arrived at this time. It was the grand elder and her partner who had come over for a visit.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Xue Shuyi, who was busy in the kitchen with her daughter and mother-in-law, could only ask her husband to check the visitors at the door.

She shouted from where she currently is, "Darling! We have visitors. Check at the door, please!"

"Alright!" responded Tan Shenyu, who was about to head to the entrance of the mansion while playing chess with his father.

Before standing up, Tan Shenyu said to his father, "Old man, no cheating! I’ll be back as soon as possible."

Hmph!

"Who did you say is cheating?" He made some moves to change some pieces’ positions without a sound and wore a stern expression on his face. Tan Huangyu mumbles, "As long as I wasn’t caught, it was not called cheating."

"Old man, I heard that!" retorted Tan Shenyu from a distance, making the hands that held a chess piece in his father’s possession slightly tremble and almost fall on the board game.

Meanwhile, at the main door of the mansion, Tan Shenyu didn’t even check who was knocking and just opened the door. As soon as he did, he saw an old couple standing by the mansion’s door. It’s the Snow Clan’s Grand Elder and her husband.

The Grand Elder looked friendly and said, "Hello. I am the Grand Elder of the Snow Clan."

"Welcome. Please come inside," said Tan Shenyu.

Tan Shenyu moved aside and invited the guests inside the house. He escorted them to the living room where his father was and left them in his care. He walked towards the kitchen to call for her daughter. If he remembers it correctly, these are the guests for her. The one who requested to see her through Clan Master Xue Yi.

In the kitchen, Tan Shenyu saw the three ladies busying themselves in the kitchen. His wife noticed him coming over.

Xue Shuyi said, "Lunch will need a few more minutes before it is served."

"The guests for Bing’er are here. She said that she is the grand elder of the Snow Clan," said Tan Shenyu.

When the three ladies heard what he said, they looked startled. But they knew that this was a guest that they could afford to make wait. Tang Yuyi said to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter,

"You guys can go. I can handle the rest."

"Yes, Grandmother (Mother)!" The two collectively responded.

Tan Yuyi looked at her and said, "You call your father and have him help me with the rest."

"Alright, Mom," said Tan Shenyu.

In the living room, after Tan Shenyu returns with Tan Bingyu and Xue Shuyi, Tan Huangyu heads to the kitchen to help his wife with lunch preparations. Tan Shenyu sat with his wife and daughter on the opposite side of the couch while Xue Shuyi served some tea to the guests.

Xue Shuyi said, "Please have some tea, Elders. Lunch will be served soon. Do join us for it later."

"Will it be alright?" asked the Grand Elder.

Xue Shuyi said, "Of course. It will be my honor."

"I see. Please don’t be nervous. We didn’t come here to ask you or your daughter to join the Snow Clan. It’s for another matter. It can be a personal one from me. It is a question for your daughter, Tan Bingyu," said the Grand Elder.

Tan Bingyu said, "Please go ahead and ask, Senior."

The two elders looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. But with the support of her husband, the grand elder finally spoke up about what they wanted to ask of Tan Bingyu.

The grand elder asked, "Tan Bingyu, we have heard that during your awakening, the awakening of your special physique, the Nine Yin Meridians, someone had helped you. Can you tell us who that person is?"

Tan Bingyu visibly frowned when this question was asked. If it were another person, she would be willing to inform them who it was, but the person they are asking about is her mistress. She is unsure if these two truly need help from their mistress or if it’s just another ploy. She hesitated and didn’t answer right away. Tan Shenyu knows why his daughter hesitated as well and spoke up because of it.

"Is it possible for you to tell us why you need that person? It’s not that we can’t tell you who it was, but she is too important for us, and not only is her standing close to that of a noble, but we also can’t afford to bring her harm," Tan Shenyu said.

The grand elder also stopped hesitating and said, "The truth is... our son, Xue Qiuya, fell into slumber after he reached adulthood and never once woke up ever since then. There is a cold aura coming from him that not only freezes his whole room but also everyone who is not used to approaching him. His state is similar to the young lady when she awakened her physique: white hair and white skin, coldness that creates frost through breathing."

The three in front of the two elders didn’t expect to hear this. Eve Xue Shuyi, who had been with the Snow clan since she was young, didn’t know that the existence of the grand elder was much more about her and her husband having a son. They can hardly believe it. After all, most old folks in the clan would deem a daughter more important than a son. This is a clan created by a female clan master, after all.

"You are saying that your son might have awakened the Nine Yin Meridian Physique and had been bedridden for years? But that physique is deadly for males! Are you sure he..."

Tan Shenyu’s words were cut off. Xue Shuyi also whispered words of reprimand to her husband as she realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"He is still alive! I can hear his breathing. There is no way I heard that wrong!" said the Grand Elder, and based on her expressions alone, her emotions had gone awry because of Tan Shenyu’s inquiry.

Tan Bingyu spoke up and looked at her father. "Dad, please help my grandparents in the kitchen. Mom, you can go as well."

"Okay. We will call for you when lunch is served," said Xue Shuyi as she pulled out her husband, who might once again say the wrong thing and trigger the elder in the wrong way.

After the couple had taken their leave, Tan Bingyu observed the two elders in front of her and noticed that they weren’t lying at all. She decided to be honest with them.

Tan Bingyu said, "The one who saved me is the Divine Doctor."

The two elders were stunned when the legendary being, like the Divine Doctor, was mentioned. However, if it truly is this person, then the possibility of helping someone awaken a special physique like Tan Bingyu did is not hard. Of course, they felt a bit disheartened as well. After all, who would know the identity of the Divine Doctor, which was hidden throughout history? They looked a bit saddened by the fact that the way to save their son had once again become out of reach.

The Grand Elder looked like she was lost as she responded, "I see. If it’s the Divine Doctor, then... it’s no surprise that you woke up. But I guess finding the Divine Doctor who appeared in the Mortal Realm is hard to do. Even so, thank you for the information."

"There is no need for the grand elder to be sad. There is a way to find the Divine Doctor," said Tan Bingyu.

As expected, the despairing expressions on the two elders before her had changed when they heard the following words from Tan Bingyu.

The Grand Elder said, "What do you... mean? You have a way to find the Divine Doctor."

"I do not have one, but my mistress can find the divine doctor. The two of them had somehow had a connection to each other. To find the divine doctor, you must ask my mistress. It was just that the mistress had gotten separated from us when we entered this realm, but she is definitely in the Cultivation Realm. Once you find her, finding the divine doctor is not impossible. I can vow that my words are true," said Tan Bingyu.

The Grand Elder frowned and said, "I heard that your mistress is also the master of the Hidden Tan Clan and that she is a goddess. Is there something in this realm that even interests her?"

"Ancient Ruins?"

The one who said these words is the husband of the Grand Elder. He knew that if there was something in this realm that could interest a Huashen cultivator, that could only be the Ancient Ruins, which is a dimension connected to the other realms. The Grand Elder realized that her husband might be right about this guess until Tan Bingyu gave away the answer.

Tan Bingyu said, "Yes, she is interested in ancient ruins; that’s why we came to this realm. Find her, and you can find the Divine Doctor. As long as you are willing to give her information about ancient ruins, my mistress will definitely give you what you want. It’s just that I don’t know where she is at this moment."

"Alright. I will mobilize some of my people to look for her. Her identity as the Starfield Sect’s Supreme Elder’s granddaughter makes it easier to find her," said the Grand Elder. This is a tiny spark of hope for the old couple. As long as there is a possible way to wake up and treat their only son, they are willing to do anything.
