"Okay, Mother!" Shen Ruoyu and Shen Ruoning then ran over to Shen Yunxi, stood beside her, and said to the others, "Mother is right. There's no point in arguing. The only way is to convince you with our strength!"

Shen Yunxi rubbed their little heads: "Let's go, let's buy some spiritual herbs and refine some pills for Great-Grandpa."

Di Xuanshang walked behind with the two children, while Shen Yunxi walked in front, pondering the spiritual plants she needed.

A few days ago, she asked Shen Shenxing to go to the villa to recuperate, but ever since she returned from the temple, he has refused to go no matter what.

Shen Yunxi naturally knew why, so she didn't try to persuade her any further.

Six years ago, Shen Yunxi discovered that Shen Shenxing had a chronic illness. Back then, she searched through all the ancient books and finally found a treatment method, but there was one medicine that she could never find.

Later, Shen Wanqing learned from some unknown source that the medicinal herb was found at Ghost Cry Cliff in the Ten Thousand Demons Forest. In order to cure her grandfather's illness, Shen Yunxi resolutely decided to risk going there.

She never imagined that this trip would become the beginning of her nightmare from her past life. At Ghost Cry Cliff, she was framed by Jiang Shuyue and ultimately died.

In her previous life, she was obsessed with alchemy and studied it extensively, but she was lazy by nature and disliked making alchemy herself.

Just then, Shen Ruoning displayed an exceptional talent for alchemy, so she entrusted the task of alchemy entirely to her daughter.

In a teahouse facing the street, a man in brocade robes leaned against the window, holding a heavy sword, and idly glanced at the passersby on the street.

His gaze suddenly stopped when it passed over Shen Yunxi, and he then climbed out of the window and blocked her way.

Shen Yunxi raised her eyes and looked at the man indifferently.

The man was imposing, with bright, star-like eyes, slightly furrowed brows, and tightly pursed thin lips. He lowered his eyes, his expression carrying a hint of grievance and a subtle trace of disappointment, and asked with a touch of dissatisfaction, "Why won't you accept the gift I specially prepared for you?"

He paused, then added, "Don't...you don't like it?"

His voice was low and deep, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

Shen Yunxi frowned slightly, and after a long while, she remembered that he should be Situ Jingxuan, Shen Wanqing's sweetheart and the second young master of the Situ family, one of the four great families.

Di Xuanshang, holding Shen Ruoning and Shen Ruoyu's hands, stood in front of Shen Yunxi and Situ Jingxuan. Shen Ruoning looked up at Situ Jingxuan and said, "Are you the one who gave my mother the pills?"

Situ Jingxuan looked down at Shen Ruoning and then nodded.

Shen Ruoning said in a serious tone, "I've taken care of my mother's pills, so naturally she won't want yours!"

"You can refine pills?" Situ Jingxuan looked at the child in front of him in surprise.

“Of course!” Before Shen Ruoning could speak, Shen Ruoyu said, “My sister’s pills are much more precious than yours.”

Situ Jingxuan then remembered that among the returned pills were two top-grade pills. He looked at Shen Ruoning with a complicated expression: "Did you refine those two pills?"

"No!" Shen Yunxi said, "My darling only knows the basics of alchemy. I obtained those two pills by chance. I gave them to you because I am grateful for your help six years ago when I was going through the most difficult time!"

"Don't you have any other feelings for me at all?" Situ Jingxuan asked sadly, "Do you know? I've been looking for you for six years!"

"So what?" Before Shen Yunxi could speak, Di Xuanshang said, "Everything was of your own free will, don't try to morally blackmail Xi'er!"
