Capítulo 705: Chapter 705: Worried Sick
"Cough cough…"
Luo Qingtong had a fit of violent coughs. It took her a while to catch her breath before she assured Old Master Luo, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'm fine… cough cough… That, the Black Domain Netherworld Venerable is a good person."
When Luo Qingtong said this, she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.
After all, Ye Qianming's persona was far from anything resembling a good person!
Even when they first met, that man was utterly ruthless.
Little Fragrant Pig was rolling its eyes in her sleeve as well.
Clearly, Old Master Luo didn't believe her.
At the moment, he was too preoccupied with his heartache over the issue with Yan Xi to care about anything else, and he immediately grabbed Luo Qingtong, demanding, "Really? You can't lie to Grandpa this time!"
His precious granddaughter always shouldered everything on her own.
Old Master Luo didn't want her to say such things just to prevent him from worrying.
"Cough cough… Really, really! You're also tired, Grandpa. Please go and rest!"
Luo Qingtong insisted, quickly ushering Old Master Luo into his room.
After getting Old Master Luo settled, Luo Qingtong then focused on what she had to do next.
She had brought Old Master Luo to Black Domain Main City primarily to find that one particular ingredient essential for perfectly refining the Rejuvenation Pill.
Secondly, it was to boost Old Master Luo's strength.
She had promised Empress Dowager Yan Xi a surprise, and she intended to deliver on that promise!
Moreover, having Grandpa legitimately become her spouse was certainly something both grandparents would look forward to.
Luo Qingtong didn't mind allowing them to indulge in a bit of romance, fulfilling Grandpa's dream of a heroic rescue.
Empress Dowager Yan Xi, seeing Grandpa swoop in from the skies to claim her, would likely see her past resentments and frustrations dissipate into nothing, right?
Luo Qingtong could tell that Empress Dowager Yan Xi still harbored some resentment.
Even though she knew the events of the past were all a misunderstanding, without Grandpa's oversight, none of those things would have happened!
Moreover, there was the issue of her despicable biological father and mother…
If Empress Dowager Yan Xi were to find out about this, it would be terrible!
That's why Luo Qingtong decisively took Old Master Luo away when the other party asked them to leave.
It was all to delay the revelation of this particular matter!
Otherwise, the recently improved relationship between the two would certainly hit rock bottom again.
A mother's protective feelings for her child are incredibly strong.
Empress Dowager Yan Xi wouldn't care about any hardships Old Master Luo faced; she would inevitably feel he failed to take good care of their son!
In short, it was a complete mess!
Only when the knots in their hearts were untied would there be a chance for them to feel relieved.
Thinking this way, Luo Qingtong felt she had indeed worried herself sick for her grandfather, truly a paragon of granddaughters in China!
With that thought, she summoned the attendants of the Black Domain Main City Lord's Mansion, instructing them to announce her search for the medicinal ingredient and make it known that any demand could be met, as long as it was within the power of the Black Domain.
Additionally, Luo Qingtong requested the people of Black Domain Main City to search for anything that carried the aura of the Saint Realm.
In simple terms, a Holy Artifact.
Preferably a damaged Holy Artifact!
Luo Qingtong had an experiment in mind.
If successful, it would be extremely beneficial to her own strength as well.
"You woman, you're not planning to do that, are you?"
Little Fragrant Pig overheard her instructions and suddenly widened its eyes.
It had a vague hunch about what Luo Qingtong was planning to do!
Oh my goodness!
This woman couldn't possibly be that crazy, right?!
Little Fragrant Pig stared in shock with its eyes wide open.
