The Tempestuous Consort - Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness - Chapter 306
Chapter 306: Someone Is Using Her Name
Feng Tianlan pursed her lips in slight protest. Then, she scooped a bowl of soup for herself, only for Si Mobai to take it from her hands. He took a sip and sighed in satisfaction, “Thank you, Lan’er.”
Feng Tianlan’s gaze bore into Si Mobai. “I didn’t expect you to say thanks.” It was apparent that she’d gotten the soup for herself. He was shamelessly for grabbing it.
Si Mobai cleaned the bowl and refilled it. He then passed it to Feng Tianlan and said, “And that is what I call prejudice.” He was determined to make her get used to him, soundless and ever-present.
Feng Tianlan took the bowl from his hands and gracefully drank the rest of the soup.
“Qi Shujie is Tu Xiupei’s Senior Brother as well as the Young Master of Flying Frost Pavilion. He is a young genius well-known on the Guiyuan Continent. They grew up together, and he has always doted on her. He cares for her a lot. He’s quite the opponent.”
Si Mobai’s lips curved into a pleased smile as he watched Feng Tianlan drink the soup. She hadn’t noticed that they were using the same bowl.
“You sure know quite a lot.” A genius youth who was high up in the ranks of the Guiyuan Continent. This fact alone proved that he had great potential. At the same time, it further confirmed that those who belonged to the Flying Frost Pavilion were indeed exceptionally gifted.
“I ran a quick background check on them,” Si Mobai answered in a light tone. He’d given orders to investigate Tu Xiupei the very day she’d returned and commenced sabotaging Feng Tianlan. It was always better to be safe than sorry. Having full knowledge of an opponent’s background eliminated the need to hold back when moving against them.
Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and scanned Si Mobai with slight confusion. She could not shake the feeling that he seemed to have changed. At the same time, she could not pinpoint how exactly.
“Tu Xiupei’s birth father did not appear?” First, Xu Jiayi had been in such a plight, now, his daughter. So why hadn’t he shown up? Had he not heard about what was going on?
“He never took responsibility for what happened back in the day. He even watched her marry Tu Xiang with his own eyes. How dependable do you think a man like that can be?” In such a situation, it would be odd if he showed up.
Feng Tianlan hummed lightly but did not have anything to add. Right now, her only mission was to level up and expand her sphere of influence.
Si Mobai got up and said, “Let me see you home.”
Feng Tianlan gently shook her head. “It’s okay. I still have something to do and will not be going home just yet.”
“I’ll accompany you then.”
Feng Tianlan glanced at him. He was not to be questioned. Therefore, she could only nod. Although she sensed a slight change in him, she still thought that he was very domineering and bossy.
Si Mobai hid himself the moment they reached the Ruyi Trade House.
“Master.” Upon hearing that Feng Tianlan had arrived, Elder Chen quickly put down the pill he was refining and rushed over.
Feng Tianlan took out a Storage Ring and placed it on the counter. “In here, there are Spirit Gathering Elixirs, Spirit Gathering Pills, Spirit Boosting Pills, Quick Healing Pills, and Spirit Stabilizing Pills. Sell all the pills that are between Grade 8 and 9. Then send the Grade 9 pills to the Holy Pill City to aid in their cultivation.”
“You might not often come, Master, but you have never stopped sending us pills. You should take it easy. Do not push your body too hard. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to your health. Thanks to the Grade 5 Marrow Cleansing Pills that you gave us, they have all succeeded in marrow cleansing. Because of these pills, their cultivation stages have progressed by leaps and bounds.”
Feng Tianlan slightly frowned at Elder Chen’s words. “Grade 5 Marrow Cleansing Pills?”
“That’s right. We sent the pills over three months ago. All of them have successfully undergone marrow cleansing. They did not let you down. Master, you are amazing.” Elder Chen’s wrinkles blossomed like a flower as he laughed with joy.
With more half his lifespan already behind him, for Elder Chen, seeing a Grade 5 Marrow Cleansing Pill was the realization of an impossible dream. And now, he had been lucky enough to see more than a hundred Marrow Cleansing Pills refined to perfection. He almost passed out in exhilaration and sheer disbelief.
Feng Tianlan’s frown deepened, and she said sternly, “I can’t refine a Grade 5 Marrow Cleansing Pill yet. Nor can I afford to buy them. Elder Chen, it wasn’t me who sent them.”
