Rebirth of Jinxuan

The Luo family members' expressions changed, and the Luo family head turned ashen-faced. He recalled the power of the alchemy furnace just now, and a wave of fear washed over him. "Madam Lu, what happened today was the fault of my Luo family. Please forgive us for our rudeness." He bowed deeply, his posture extremely humble.

Lu Jinxuan snorted coldly, ignoring the Luo family head, and turned to Gao Jian and Gao Yuan, saying, "If you two do it again, I will not let you off easily!"

Gao Jian and Gao Yuan nodded hastily in agreement, but inwardly they were groaning. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness and fear. After Lu Jinxuan turned away, Gao Yuan lowered his voice and said to Gao Jian, "Brother, this woman is not to be trifled with."

Gao Jian frowned deeply. "This alchemy furnace... is probably not simple. Look at that flame, it hasn't gone out yet. If it explodes again..." He dared not think any further and was already considering retreating. "Let's go back with the patriarch first."

The Luo family members slunk away, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

In front of the pharmacy, shattered tiles and dregs of medicine were scattered all over the ground, and a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air. Mo Chenfan rolled up his sleeves and directed the pharmacy staff to clean up the mess. "Hurry up and sweep all these pieces up, so no one gets hurt."

Renhe Pharmacy gradually returned to its usual tranquility, but the commotion of today was destined to linger in the town for a long time. Many people came upon hearing the news, eagerly inquiring about the Youth-Preserving Pill, surrounding Mo Chenfan in a dense crowd. "Manager Mo, is that Youth-Preserving Pill really that miraculous?" "When will it be available again?" Mo Chenfan patiently explained, "Please be patient, everyone. The Youth-Preserving Pill is not easy to refine and will take some time. I will inform you of the specific sales date later."

At this moment, Lu Yuhang and Qian Feng returned from the martial arts hall. As soon as they entered the door, they shouted, "Mom, I'm hungry!" Qian Feng also said, "Auntie, I'm hungry too." Lu Jinxuan looked at the two little guys covered in dirt and smiled helplessly, "The kitchen was blown up, so we can't cook."

Seeing this, Mo Chenfan suggested, "Why don't we go to Zuixianlou for dinner? We've been frightened today, it'll be good to calm our nerves." After saying that, he instructed Wang Xiaoer, the pharmacy's clerk, to book a private room at Zuixianlou. Wang Xiaoer agreed and left.

"You two, go wash up first, you're all dirty," Lu Jinxuan said, pointing at Lu Yuhang and Qian Feng. The two children obediently followed the pharmacy clerk to the backyard to bathe.

Mo Chenfan walked to Lu Jinxuan's side and asked in a low voice, "Jinxuan, are you alright?"

Lu Jinxuan shook her head. "I'm fine, it's just..." She looked around, as if searching for something.

"Where is Yuxi?" Lu Jinxuan looked around, a hint of worry on her brow.

Mo Chenfan looked around and asked, "They were just here a moment ago, how did they disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"Mom, are you looking for Dad? I can't see him." Lu Yuhang, who had finished washing up and changed into clean clothes, ran over with a half-eaten apple in his hand.

Lu Jinxuan turned to Ai Xi, "Ai Xi, when was the last time you saw Yu Xi?"

Ai Xi tried hard to recall, "Right after the Luo family left, he was still standing next to you, and then... then I went to count the medicinal herbs."

"I'll go look for it," Ai Xi said, and started to walk out.

"Wait," Mo Chenfan stopped her, "We might not be able to find him even if we go out to look for him now. Maybe he'll be back soon. Let's go to Zuixianlou first and eat while we wait."

Lu Jinxuan nodded. Going out to look for it now would be like finding a needle in a haystack. It would be better to go to Zuixianlou first. Perhaps Zhang Yuxi would come there on her own soon.

The group arrived at Zuixianlou Restaurant. The private room that Mo Chenfan had booked had an excellent view, overlooking the entire town. Before all the dishes were served, everyone chatted and drank tea.

"Hey, have you heard? A stunningly handsome man appeared on the roof of Zuiyue Tower!" A customer at the next table whispered mysteriously.

"What kind of exceptional man? Tell me more!" The other person immediately became interested.

"It is said that the man had silver hair, handsome features, and an extraordinary temperament, just like... just like he stepped out of a painting!"

"Really? The proprietress of Zuiyue Tower is known for her high standards. What kind of men hasn't she seen? For her to praise someone as 'top-notch', he must be extraordinary!"

"That's right! I heard that man is very generous; he spends hundreds of taels of silver without even blinking!"

Lu Jinxuan was holding a teacup when she heard the words "silver hair," and the teacup in her hand trembled slightly...

“Silver hair…” Lu Jinxuan murmured to herself, her teacup wobbling as the tea spilled out, landing directly on Mo Chenfan sitting opposite her.

"Cough cough..." Mo Chenfan was caught off guard and sprayed tea all over his face. He wiped his face in a disheveled manner. "Jinxuan, what happened to you?"

Lu Jinxuan couldn't even apologize; her mind was in turmoil. Silver hair, extravagant spending… this inevitably made her think of Zhang Yuxi. Although Zhang Yuxi was usually low-key, as the Crimson Serpent Demon King, his wealth was not to be underestimated. Could it be that he went to the Drunken Moon Pavilion?

"I...I suddenly remembered I have something to do and need to leave for a bit." Lu Jinxuan stood up incoherently and grabbed Ai Xi beside her. "Ai Xi, come with me!"

Ai Xi was startled by her sudden action, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound. "But... the food hasn't all been served yet..."

Lu Jinxuan had no appetite at all; she only had one thought in her mind: she had to find Zhang Yuxi! "Don't worry about it, Brother Mo, you and Yuhang can eat slowly."

Mo Chenfan nodded, "Okay, you guys go ahead, I'll stay here."

With his mouth full of snacks, Lu Yuhang asked indistinctly, "Mom, where are you going?"

"Mother will be back in a little while." Lu Jinxuan hurriedly said this and then pulled Ai Xi away from the private room.

Mo Chenfan watched the two figures leave, his brows furrowed.

"Uncle Mo..." Lu Yuhang blinked his big eyes at Mo Chenfan, "Did Mommy go to find Daddy?"

Mo Chenfan was taken aback. This child…

Lu Jinxuan pulled Ai Xi along, hurrying towards Zuiyue Tower.

"Ai Xi, are you sure Yu Xi's last appearance was at the entrance of Renhe Pharmacy?"

"Yes...yes," Ai Xi replied breathlessly, "I was counting the medicinal herbs at the time and didn't notice when he left."

Lu Jinxuan was extremely anxious. Drunken Moon Pavilion was a place teeming with all sorts of people; she worried that Zhang Yuxi might run into trouble there…

Thinking of this, she quickened her pace. In the distance, she saw the brightly lit Drunken Moon Pavilion…
