Seeing the package in Xue Luan's hands, Xue Zhenbang couldn't help but laugh, "They say a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl, and you two are only just engaged, yet my little sister can't wait to go with her man?"
Xue Luan, who was usually fearless at home, blushed slightly and glared at Xue Zhenbang, saying, "I'm going to follow my man, so what?"
Xue Zhenfei smiled wryly, "It seems that only Qiwen can enjoy your gentleness. We brothers are overjoyed that you're gone. Don't come back crying when you get bullied." Although he said this, Lu Qiwen saw that Xue Zhenbang's eyes were a little moist. The siblings had a deep affection for each other, but their way of expressing it was a little unusual!
After bidding farewell to Xue Zhenfei, Lu Qiwen took Xue Luan out of the Xue family manor and down the mountain. Although it was not a long trip, Xue Luan's departure was equivalent to her getting married, so the Xue family members could still be seen looking out from the gate.
With tears in her eyes, Xue Luan looked back every three steps, as if it were a life-or-death separation. Lu Qiwen saw this and said, "No need to look anymore. If you miss home, you can come back and stay for a few days anytime." Xue Luan nodded. At the foot of the mountain, Xue family servants had already prepared a car. The two got into the car, which then drove onto the main road and headed towards the city center.
Xue Luan had never been to Lu Qiwen's residence before. When she saw that Lu Qiwen lived in a place resembling a water town in southern China, she couldn't help but show a surprised expression and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a quiet place in the city center."
Lu Qiwen smiled and said, "The environment is indeed nice, but this place is incredibly valuable, with every inch of land worth its weight in gold."
Xue Luan looked around at the scenery and said with a smile, "Since my husband can afford to buy a place to live here, he must be a wealthy man. It seems I won't go hungry from now on."
Lu Qiwen couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, and patted Xue Luan's shapely bottom, saying, "That's not necessarily true. If you eat too much, I can't afford to feed you."
Xue Luan was wearing tight jeans, her pert buttocks were round and firm, her legs were long and slender, and her waist was incredibly slim. She wore a clean white shirt, looking very neat and tidy. When Lu Qiwen patted her bottom, Xue Luan felt a shiver run through her body and almost collapsed to the ground.
Her face was flushed, and her eyes darted around anxiously, afraid that someone had seen what Lu Qiwen had just done.
Seeing that no one was around, Xue Luan breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Qiwen couldn't help but smile faintly at Xue Luan's reaction.
Leading Xue Luan into the villa and into the living room, they saw Yang Ningyin sitting in the living room watching TV, while Dizang Qinghua was sitting to the side with his eyes slightly closed, as if he were in meditation.
Lu Qiwen was taken aback when he saw Yang Ningyin watching TV, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
Hearing footsteps, Yang Ningyin turned to look at Lu Qiwen, her gaze lingering on the somewhat fearful Xue Luan for a moment. She smiled faintly, stood up, and walked to the two of them, saying to Xue Luan with a smile, "This must be the Xue sister my husband often talks about. She is indeed a beautiful woman; no wonder my husband can't forget her."
Yang Ningyin didn't have a deep impression of Xue Luan, but Xue Luan remembered Yang Ningyin. After all, no one would forget a woman like Yang Ningyin. Upon hearing Yang Ningyin's words, Xue Luan quickly bowed and said, "Xue Luan greets elder sister."
Yang Ningyin quickly stopped Xue Luan, allowing her to perform only a half-bow, and said while holding Xue Luan's small hand, "From now on, we're all family, why be so polite?"
Lu Qiwen handed Xue Luan's bundle to Dizang Qinghua and said, "Go arrange a room for Xue Luan. Leave her luggage there."
Lu Qiwen treated Dizang Qinghua like a servant, and Dizang Qinghua, being good-natured, actually went to help upon hearing the order, which stunned Xue Luan, who was standing nearby.
Yang Ningyin smiled and said, "Their relationship is complicated and can't be explained in a short time. You'll understand in time."
Not seeing Liu Suyan, Lu Qiwen couldn't help but ask, "Ningyin, why haven't I seen Suyan?"
Yang Ningyin said, "I received a phone call around noon and rushed out. It seemed to be a call from her family. She told me to tell you that if you don't come back tonight, you won't be coming back today."
Lu Qiwen nodded, took the brocade box containing the golden knife and went upstairs. It was safer to keep such a precious item in his own room.
However, upon entering his room, Lu Qiwen was taken aback and cursed himself for being foolish. He didn't value the golden knife that much, but it was something that an old monster like Baili Changqing had painstakingly obtained, so it must have some value. Even keeping it in his room wasn't very safe.
Logically speaking, his residence could be considered one of the safest places in the world. With a peerless expert like Yang Ningyin guarding it, along with Dizang Qinghua and Tantai Fenghua, the three women's strength could definitely rank among the top twenty in China. If the three of them joined forces to fight an enemy, even those reclusive old monsters would not be a match for them.
However, Lu Qiwen still put the golden knife into the ring on his hand. As one of the three family heirlooms of the Lu family, the Qiankun Ring has the function of storing items, and it can be said to be an extremely magical thing.
It was because of the existence of this Qiankun Ring that Lu Qiwen believed in the existence of gods and immortals in the world, otherwise such a magical artifact would not have been passed down. It was also for this reason that Lu Qiwen was full of expectations for the magical pills in his family's alchemy manual.
Just as Lu Qiwen was lost in thought in his room, he heard Yang Ningyin calling him from downstairs. Lu Qiwen was puzzled. Why was Yang Ningyin calling him down at this time? Although Yang Ningyin had been living with him for some time, she rarely spoke to him on her own initiative.
After going downstairs, Lu Qiwen looked at the two women sitting together with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yang Ningyin said, "I heard from Sister Xue that you are already engaged to her and have received her betrothal gifts?"
Seeing Xue Luan with her head down, her face flushed and her clothes undressed in embarrassment, Lu Qiwen nodded and said, "Yes, don't you agree?"
Yang Ningyin said, "I am not the kind of person who would break up a loving couple. It's just that you were careless in your actions. The Xue family gave you an engagement gift, but did you give them a gift in return?"
Hearing Yang Ningyin say this, Lu Qiwen finally realized and said, "Oh dear, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. I really didn't remember. I've really embarrassed myself this time."
Seeing Lu Qiwen's dejected look, Xue Luan couldn't bear it and quickly said, "Qiwen, you don't need to blame yourself. Father and the others don't care about these worldly customs."
Lu Qiwen shook his head and said, "No, I shouldn't forget to pay my respects no matter what. Besides, my father-in-law gave such an expensive gift. If I don't reciprocate, it would seem like I don't know any manners."
Yang Ningyin stopped Xue Luan, saying, "Xue Luan, you don't need to say anything. Your husband must return the gift, otherwise it will make our Lu family seem impolite. Although your uncle didn't say anything, people will laugh at our Lu family if they find out."
Seeing how serious Yang Ningyin was, Xue Luan had no choice but to stop talking.
Lu Qiwen sat there and said, "What gift should I give in return? Although my father left me a lot of good things, the Xue family probably already has plenty of calligraphy and paintings by famous people, antiques and jade artifacts. Besides, these are not things I can really give away."
Hearing Lu Qiwen's mutterings, Yang Ningyin chuckled and said, "You do have some self-awareness. If you had any other miraculous elixirs like the Nine-Turn Spirit Pill, that would be an excellent return gift, as it would be in line with your family's reputation as a family of alchemists."
Reminded by Yang Ningyin, Lu Qiwen slapped his forehead and said, "I remember now, our ancestors passed down a few pills with extraordinary effects, which are extremely precious and can be used as a return gift." As he spoke, a jade bottle carved from warm jade appeared in Lu Qiwen's hand, with three ancient characters engraved on it. Yang Ningyin and Xue Luan recognized the three characters as "Longevity Pill".
Yang Ningyin asked in surprise, "This is a longevity pill?"
Lu Qiwen raised his head, looked at Yang Ningyin with surprise, and said, "Of course, do you know about this kind of pill?"
Yang Ningyin took a deep breath and smiled, "There are records of this kind of miraculous pill in the records of my sect. I just didn't expect that such a heaven-defying and life-threatening pill would actually exist in the world. The Lu family is indeed an ancient family that has passed down the secrets of pills for generations."
Lu Qiwen blushed slightly and said, "Please stop praising me. Our Lu family has declined to this state. In my father's generation, I am his only son, and we might even die out. What kind of ancient family is this?"
Yang Ningyin rolled her eyes at Lu Qiwen, clearly complaining that he spoke without thinking. How could the family line end so easily? Not to mention the future, there are three women right now who can help the Lu family continue its lineage. Lu Qiwen is still thinking about the matter of the family line ending, which is really annoying.
Having been inexplicably given a disdainful look by Yang Ningyin, Lu Qiwen was still unaware that he had said something wrong.
Xue Luan asked doubtfully, "Sister Yang, can this longevity pill really prolong life?"
Xue Luan, however, understood the medicinal effects of this pill from the literal meaning of its name, which is why she asked this question.
Yang Ningyin smiled and said, "Whether it has that effect or not, you can ask your husband. He knows perfectly well what it is."
Xue Luan's pretty eyes fell on Lu Qiwen. Lu Qiwen opened the jade bottle, and a rich medicinal fragrance filled the entire living room. When Dizang Qinghua, who came downstairs, saw the jade bottle in Lu Qiwen's hand, his eyes lit up. He was like a little sun, and his aura changed. However, it was fleeting, and he returned to his calm appearance in the blink of an eye.
Neither Lu Qiwen nor Xue Luan noticed, but Yang Ningyin glanced at Dizang Qinghua who was walking down.
Lu Qiwen said, "This longevity pill is indeed a miraculous medicine that takes away the creation of heaven and earth. It was made by our ancestors and left over. Now there are only six left. Taking one pill can instantly add five years to your life, even if you have a terminal illness. Of course, if you suffer from an accident, there is nothing that can be done."
