91: Youth-preserving pill

Looking at the Medicinal Pill that Nangong Yu handed over, Qing Ling was slightly stunned, "Young Master, what is this?"

A flash of craftiness flickered in Nangong Yu's eyes, and he said, "A poisonous Medicinal Pill used to control people. If you eat it, you will be controlled by me and enslaved by me forever. Will you eat it?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Ling did not hesitate; she grabbed the Medicinal Pill and put it into her mouth.

Seeing this, Nangong Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "Are you not afraid? Are you not worried that this is a real poisonous Medicinal Pill, a poisonous Medicinal Pill that can kill people?"

Qing Ling shook her head, "Qing Ling is Young Master's Servant Girl. Whatever Young Master tells Qing Ling to do, Qing Ling will do, even if it means death!"

Hearing these words, Nangong Yu's expression was somewhat complex, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Just at this moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Qing Ling, why don't you thank the Little Prince yet? That is a Grade Seven Face-Preserving Pill; it can fix one's appearance for a hundred years without aging. You girl have good luck!"

As this voice fell, Shangguan Yuexi and Aunt Shen walked in from outside the courtyard.

"Mother!"

Nangong Yu jumped down to the ground, ran over, and hugged Shangguan Yuexi, his little face full of smiles.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine! Greetings, Aunt Shen!"

Qing Ling stood up, holding the fruit platter and pastries, curtsied to pay her respects, and then looked at Aunt Shen, "Aunt Shen, was what you said just now true?"

"What Aunt Shen said is true!"

Shangguan Yuexi nodded to confirm, then lowered her head to look at Nangong Yu, asking curiously, "Yuer, where did you get that Medicinal Pill just now?"

Nangong Yu smiled and raised his little hand, "I found it in the Qingyu Ring, inside a gift box. There was a note in the gift box recording the function of this Medicinal Pill!"

As Nangong Yu spoke, he took out a gift box and opened it.

He saw that there were four small boxes inside the gift box, as well as a note.

Nangong Yu picked up two small gift boxes and handed them to Shangguan Yuexi and Aunt Shen separately, "Yuer has never given Mother and Aunt Shen gifts before. How about using these to offer a tribute today?"

Shangguan Yuexi took the gift box and opened it to take a look; it was indeed a Grade Seven Face-Preserving Pill, and it was even a special-grade Medicinal Pill!

She picked up the note and took a look; it was written with the effects of the Face-Preserving Pill, as well as a blessing!

The handwriting was graceful and delicate, pleasing to the eye. One look and you could tell it was written by a woman, but there was no signature, and it was impossible to tell who had written it!

Shangguan Yuexi handed the note to Aunt Shen, then squatted down and kissed Nangong Yu, smiling, "Thank you, Yuer. Mother likes this gift very much!"

Although when a Cultivator steps into the Divine Combination Realm, their appearance will be fixed and can be maintained forever, she had long since not needed this thing.

But who could resist since this was a gift from Nangong Yu?

"Hee hee!"

Nangong Yu smiled and said, "When Yuer has the ability in the future, I will give Mother something even better!"

"Good!"

Shangguan Yuexi nodded with a smile, rubbing her forehead against Nangong Yu's forehead, appearing very happy.

At this time, Aunt Shen spoke, "Your Highness the Imperial Concubine, this Servant Girl has never seen this handwriting before, nor do I know whose handiwork it is among those who attended the banquet last time?"

Shangguan Yuexi nodded slightly without speaking; evidently, her mood was not very calm either.

Five Grade Seven special-grade Medicinal Pills, a grand expenditure of two or three million Spirit Stones—who could it be?

Nangong Yu watched the two thinking, and again handed the gift box in his hand to Aunt Shen, "Aunt Shen, here!"

Aunt Shen hurriedly shook her head, "Little Prince, I don't need it. You should keep it for now; it might be useful in the future."

Nangong Yu blinked his big eyes, took Aunt Shen's hand, and stuffed it into her hand.

"This is the first gift Yuer has ever given to Aunt Shen, so even if it isn't good, Aunt Shen must accept it!"

Seeing this, Aunt Shen couldn't help but smile and didn't decline again, "Then many thanks to the Little Prince."

"Hee hee, you're welcome!"

Nangong Yu smiled and waved his hand, putting away the remaining two small gift boxes.

At this moment, Qing Ling finally understood something and couldn't help but kneel on the ground with a thud.

"Qing Ling thanks Young Master!"

Fixing one's appearance for a hundred years without aging; she knew very well what this meant.

An ordinary person's lifespan is no more than a hundred years, and she didn't know if it was cursed, but for an ordinary person, a hundred years is the limit.

In such a situation, her appearance would be maintained for a hundred years, until she died.

Perhaps she would never have to worry about aging and fading, and having to sadly leave Young Master.

Nangong Yu smiled slightly and reached out to help her up, "Get up, this is what you deserve."

Qing Ling took the opportunity to stand up, her little face still full of gratitude and joy.

Nangong Yu looked at Shangguan Yuexi, "Mother, have you two discussed it?"

"Yes!" Shangguan Yuexi nodded, "Mother won't Cultivate today; shall we go to the market for a stroll with Yuer?"

"Good!"

Nangong Yu nodded, then thought of something, "Mother, when I go to the Supervision Office, I can bring Qing Ling, right?"

Shangguan Yuexi nodded and smiled slightly, "Yes, Aunt Shen will be going over in a while; just have her tell the Dean of the Supervision Office!"

"What about the two of them, Cai'er?"

Shangguan Yuexi shook her head slightly, "I'm not sure. We will know after Aunt Shen goes to ask; after all, very few students bring Spirit Pets there!"

"Oh!"

Nangong Yu nodded, "Then please trouble Aunt Shen to ask. If it really doesn't work, letting them Cultivate properly at the Prince's Mansion is also fine; after all, what those Instructors at the Supervision Office teach might not be suitable for them!"

"Very well, Little Prince!"

Aunt Shen nodded in agreement.

Shangguan Yuexi smiled and said, "Alright, let's not think so much. Mother will take you out to play."

"Good!"

Nangong Yu nodded, and the group immediately left the Prince's Mansion, heading towards the market in the south of the city.

...

Qingyou Imperial Palace, Fengxian Hall.

Nangong Aotian reviewed a few memorials, put down his pen, and stretched, but suddenly his brows furrowed.

"Who are you?"

His entire body's Qi surged, his gaze fixed tightly on the Black-Robed Person not far away.

As an expert at the Early Stage Spirit Venerable Realm, he hadn't even discovered when this person had arrived; it was absurd!

Furthermore, where were the two retainers who had always been guarding him in the dark?

It wasn't time for the imperial bedchamber, so they wouldn't have avoided him. One of them should have been guarding outside the hall, and the other should have been in this hall!

But why were the two not appearing?

The Black-Robed Person looked at him gloomily, and a cold voice drifted out, "Don't be nervous. This Divine Envoy has come here simply to make a deal."

"What kind of deal do you want to make?"

Nangong Aotian frowned slightly and temporarily abandoned his plan to attack.

He couldn't see through him!

He only felt that the other party's aura was sometimes ordinary, and sometimes like an abyss or an ocean; he couldn't see through it at all!

Coupled with the fact that the other party had arrived silently without alarming anyone, and even he hadn't noticed at the first moment, it was evident that their strength was definitely not simple.

Not only that, he didn't know if his people were dead, or if they simply couldn't detect the anomaly here. He had just caused such a big commotion, yet still, no one had come over!

The Black-Robed Person nodded slightly, then saw him gently wave his hand, and a Medicinal Pill appeared before him.
