"Empress Dowager, I have urgent matters to report! It concerns Prince Ning!"
Upon hearing this anxious voice, the heart of Empress Dowager Yan Xi, which had been stirred by Old Master Luo's words, suddenly tensed.
"You go hide behind the screen for now."
Without caring to discuss the events of decades ago with Old Master Luo, she told him.
"Hmm."
Old Master Luo knew she had important matters to handle, so he immediately retreated behind the screen.
"Grandfather."
Luo Qingtong also came down from the beam at this moment, smiling cheekily at Old Master Luo.
"Tsk tsk, Grandpa, I didn't expect you to have been quite handsome when you were young!"
She sized up the younger-looking Old Master Luo from top to bottom, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
"Hmph, of course! Your grandfather used to be as dashing as a jade tree facing the wind, robust and handsome, otherwise how could I have won your grandmother's heart?"
Old Master Luo was quite delighted with Luo Qingtong's compliments.
He himself hadn't expected that the medicine pills Luo Qingtong had given him would make him young again.
Thinking of the last words Luo Qingtong said to him, "Grandpa, eat this for a surprise," Old Master Luo couldn't help but smile with narrowed eyes.
This surprise was truly beyond extraordinary!
If it hadn't been for this, he wouldn't have dared tell Yan Xi about the past!
After all, those past events had long gone!
She now, in her prime and as the Empress Dowager of Great Chu, was perfectly elegant, immensely powerful, with authority embodied.
He, an old wreck, had caused her such harm back then, what face and right did he have to bring up past matters to her?
This time, if it hadn't been for the accidental unveiling by Luo Qingtong of Yan Xi's feelings towards him, coupled with the catalyst of love poison, and his own rejuvenation, Old Master Luo would have definitely not revealed his confessional and heartfelt words!
He planned to forever bury this matter in his heart, to just stay by Empress Dowager Yan Xi's side for life, until his life was exhausted, dying contently!
He wouldn't speak a word to Yan Xi, just watching the woman he loved most, proud and dignified, sitting in the most esteemed position in Great Chu.
Whether she hated him or tormented him, he would never disrupt her current life by speaking out.
"…"
Luo Qingtong looked at Old Master Luo's smug appearance and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
She wondered how grandpa would react if he knew the effects of the pill were temporary.
The Rejuvenation Pill that Luo Qingtong refined for Old Master Luo was from a secret manual she had seen in a sect in her previous life.
It was said that the sect had a foundation of immortal cultivation, and there had even been Immortals ascending to heaven.
However, in the 24th century on Earth, spiritual energy was depleted, technology advanced, and superpowers emerged.
Immortal cultivation was merely a legend, and could only remain a legend.
But Luo Qingtong was someone who didn't believe in curses and was extremely curious.
With her Pupil Skill able to analyze any medicinal properties, she naturally wouldn't overlook those Immortal Cultivation Books.
The Rejuvenation Pill was indeed researched by her.
However, due to the depletion of spiritual energy on Earth, it was impossible to find adequate substitute medicinal materials.
But upon arriving in this Otherworld, with spiritual energy everywhere and relying on the backing of Black Domain, she quickly collected the materials required to refine the Rejuvenation Pills.
Only, the most crucial Spiritual Medicine was extremely rare; even with the capabilities of the Black Domain, it could not be found immediately.
Luo Qingtong could only temporarily extract the medicinal properties from other materials as a substitute.
Thus, the pills she refined naturally couldn't have a guaranteed effect and had a time limit.
Old Master Luo could only temporarily regain his youthful appearance.
