Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1258: Yan Becomes the Benefactor

Luo Xiying didn’t wait for Luo Qianqian to speak and impatiently went to Forget Worries Tea House, waiting for the people in the know to wake up.

No matter how you put it, Yan and Huangfu Yihui had their strength displayed there; although they were very satisfied with the tea house’s offerings, they wouldn’t overly indulge in lying in bed.

So, upon hearing that Luo Xiying was waiting in the private room, they soon arrived.

”Please have a seat, both of you, actually, I have some matters I’d like to ask...” Luo Xiying put forth her question.

Huangfu Yihui and Yan exchanged glances but truthfully revealed everything about the Star Path—first the celestial phenomena, then inexplicable fainting, waking up to mysteriously find oneself promoted—but from that point, it seemed she couldn’t remember Tang Tianyi.

The two of them didn’t forget to mention Nine Serenities.

Hearing their words, Luo Xiying could only nod, her face full of worry.

”However, I checked Shiqi, her body has no issues, the only problem seems to be her picky eating.” Yan said calmly, not elaborating further.

Luo Xiying nodded, slightly reassured, and her gaze softened a bit as she looked at the two of them: ”Do you need to make arrangements? Qhianqhian asked me to bring you in.”

Huangfu Yihui nodded: ”I’ll just inform them briefly.”

Yan remained silent for a moment: ”I’ll also inform that person briefly.”

After a brief moment away, they returned with elegant boxes in hand.

Luo Xiying nodded secretly but remained expressionless as she handed them two Jade Tokens which allowed entry into the Formation, offering a gentle smile: ”There are too many ordinary people inside, without these you can’t get in.”

Huangfu Yihui and Yan both nodded in understanding.

On the way, the two had varied expressions; never mind the masterful main building designs, just looking at the accommodation area’s colors left them unsure of what to think.

”Shufan, these are friends of Qianqian, where is Qianqian?” Luo Xiying asked, her face full of curiosity as she saw Luo Shufan hugging a book by the roadside.

Luo Shufan stood up upon hearing this, bowing slightly to the two: ”Welcome to the Nine Heavens Pavilion, Uncle, you take them to Anxiang Residence first—Qhianqhian is caught up with An Hao and can’t get away.” Even he had to hide away but still worried, so he sat there on the roadside, dumbfounded.

After all, An Hao’s crying tactics were terrifying; once unleashed, no one could resist her, thus she widely known as the tyrant of Nine Heavens Pavilion, no one dared provoke her from Old Master Luo to the Li Menglin sisters. Moreover, she’s pampered by two loving older siblings, making her lawless antics endurable.

When An Zilan spoke a few sentences, she’d cry and search for her brother; if her brother didn’t care, she’d cry at the door begging for her sister, causing a ruckus that nobody could rest...

”Alright...” Luo Xiying couldn’t help but want to laugh but with guests around, she didn’t let it show.

”Huh?” Passing by the riverbank, Yan slightly frowned at the old man fishing: ”Isn’t this Shiqi’s grandpa?”

Hearing someone speak, Old Master Luo was first stunned before slowly turning to see two handsome strangers, internally sighing that his granddaughter chose friends based on looks.

”Exactly, it’s my family’s master.” Luo Xiying turned speechless seeing Old Master Luo fishing again: ”Dad, didn’t Qhianqian ask you...”

”Am I the grandpa or is she the grandpa?” Old Master Luo retorted, displeased, looking at Luo Xiying.

Luo Xiying was speechless, with her own old master being like a little child...

”Will you come along with us? I’ll examine you.” Yan frowned and said.

Just then, Luo Qianqian managed to soothe her brother and arrived. Hearing those words, her brow furrowed: ”What’s wrong with my grandpa?”

”I’ll take a look first.” Yan insisted.

Luo Qianqian nodded: ”Grandpa...”

”Let him check.” Old Master Luo, completely unconcerned, had already checked after feeling something off, from Qin Nuan to Qin Liang, and even with an Alchemist—there was no discrepancy found, leaving him unafraid of being caught.

After seating Old Master Luo on a stone chair, Yan stood calmly behind him, placing a hand on his back.

Old Master Luo felt warm and comfortable, thus didn’t stop him.

”Indeed, there’s no error.” Yan lowered his hand, casting an odd glance at Luo Qianqian and then at the direction they had come from, asking: ”Where’s the source of this little river?”

Luo Qianqian shook her head in confusion.

”Are the fish here familiar types?” Yan asked Old Master Luo.

Old Master Luo nodded, then shook his head, furrowing his brow tightly.

”Grandpa!” Luo Qianqian grew anxious.

”Previously while fishing, I caught a very small fish—it felt transparent and icy cold like it had been frozen. Because it was so small, we planned to release it; unexpectedly, it bit me and escaped on its own...”

”Just as I thought...” Yan shook his head helplessly and looked at Luo Qianqian: ”You’re very fortunate...”

”What? What happened?” Luo Qianqian was utterly bewildered and then glared at Old Master Luo: ”Grandpa, how come nobody in the family knows about such a big matter?!”

”Just got bitten by a fish, what’s there to say...” Old Master Luo muttered grumpily.

”A few months later, if delayed, the master would likely be frozen entirely, likely having limited mobility already?” Yan shook his head toward Luo Qianqian, indicating no big issue.

Luo Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief but still glared at Old Master Luo.

”Yes, bending my arms and legs is quite difficult.” Glancing at Luo Qianqian, since it was already discovered, he decided to let go.

”Okay, fortunately, Shiqi, you’re probably going to bleed a lot, my consultation fee is very expensive.” Yan smiled at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes: ”Ask my grandpa; he has plenty of hidden good wine.”

Yan’s eyes lit up, eagerly looking at Old Master Luo.

”Grandpa, just give him a bottle casually, he can heal you and make sure you’re healthy.” Luo Qianqian shrugged, patting Yan’s arm: ”Whatever you need, speak to my brother, I still have to pacify the child.”

”Can it really be healed?” Old Master Luo exclaimed with joy, knowing just a few days ago he had prepared his last testament...

”Leave it to me, but Master, remember the consultation fee, don’t be stingy and dilute it like Shiqi always does.” Yan nodded.

Luo Shufan grasped Luo Qianqian: ”Is this friend of yours reliable?”

”Brother, don’t worry, this is the master I found for Nuannuan.” Luo Qianqian said proudly: ”However, it seems that grandpa is soon going to face criticism.”

”Yes.” Luo Shufan deeply agreed.

That afternoon, Old Master Luo was ignored by everyone from Yue Tingyu to Luo Qianqian across three generations, not even given meals.

In contrast, Yan and Huangfu Yihui were treated warmly, leaving Old Master Luo feeling quite sorrowful.

An Hao, following her sister’s hint, approached and patted Old Master Luo’s leg: ”Grandpa Luo, are you feeling upset now?”

Old Master Luo looked at An Hao then at the people peeking at him, and nodded heavily: ”Yes.”

”It’s called, you deserve it!” An Hao huffed: ”To worry the family, even I wouldn’t do it; if I did, my sister would spank me, Grandpa Luo, you deserve it.”

An Hao finished speaking and ran back to Luo Qianqian, snuggled against her with an expression of seeking praise.

If he had a tail, it would surely be wagging furiously now.

An Hao’s words made everyone laugh, increasing their concern for Old Master Luo.

After all, everyone knew of Old Master Luo’s concern.
