1930 New Pill 1
Unaware of the situation, Zhao Wuhuai couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction upon learning about their previous connection. Their years of acquaintance and the planned engagement indicated that their relations.h.i.+p wasn’t ordinary.
Knowing the Phoenix Girl’s difficult nature, Zhao Wuhuai understood that working together would be impossible. It seemed like a good strategy to focus on the maids instead.
The maids would likely possess knowledge about Gu Chaoyan’s pill-making abilities, and they might also have insights into pill formulas. If someone like Wuxing was once engaged to Gu Chaoyan, it implied that Lingyun, as her maid, must possess some special qualities that could be utilized.
Zhao Wuhuai’s eyes gleamed with antic.i.p.ation as he turned to Wuxing and said, “This is an excellent opportunity. Find a way to bring this maid onto our side. If we succeed, things will become much easier.”
What?
Wuxing had only considered that involving Lingyun could resolve the issue of the Pavilion Master arranging a marriage for him.
However, the Pavilion Master was now attempting to recruit Lingyun to their side.
Wuxing realized that his previous notion was misguided; it was now apparent that it was an impossible endeavor.
Lingyun had changed.
Both her appearance and personality were different.
Wuxing felt a mix of astonishment and nerves when he saw Lingyun just moments ago. She had become considerably more gentle and composed, far from her previous irrational behavior. She remained so quiet that she didn’t utter a single word, maintaining a certain distance from others.
Moreover, her complexion had improved, and she exuded an energetic aura.
She was almost as impressive as Zhao Dier.
Having not paid close attention to Lingyun before, Wuxing now found her remarkably pleasing to the eye.
“Pavilion Master, she is already resistant to me and the Piaomiao Pavilion. The Phoenix Girl has also healed her in the past, so she won’t betray the Phoenix Girl if she wants to repay the favor,” Wuxing expressed his distress.
Zhao Wuhuai waved his hand dismissively.
Being young and inexperienced, Wuxing didn’t fully grasp the complexities of human emotions. Even though Gu Chaoyan was previously engaged to him, women tended to develop attachments, and her current reluctance to marry him likely stemmed from some emotional hurt. As long as he could make her happy, she would be willing to do anything he desired.
Di’s mother had been the same way.
Despite his own reluctance, he would still hand over the Piaomiao Pavilion to him.
“It’s a simple matter. You can temporarily leave our Piaomiao Pavilion and declare that you will spend the rest of your life with her. Promise her that you’ll marry her one day. For now, you don’t need to accompany us. Your task will be to win over the maid,” Zhao Wuhuai suggested directly. “Di, come with me. Let’s have a talk with Duan Feng.”
Suddenly, Wuxing found himself alone.
The Pavilion Master’s words did hold some logic.
He wondered if Lingyun would be concerned about him.
Turning around, Wuxing headed back to the hostel and booked a guest room with the golden knives.

Back at the hostel, Gu Chaoyan watched as Lingyun left, and then she turned her attention to her private s.p.a.ce.
Inside the s.p.a.ce, Gu Chaoyan had a specific goal in mind – to test the new pill she had recently refined.
The new pill was unlike the Flying Pills and Invisibility Pills she had made before. It belonged to a different category, similar to pills such as the Heaven Dew Pills, which were designed to enhance one’s cultivation.
However, this new pill surpa.s.sed the Heaven Dew Pills in terms of potency and its ability to facilitate cultivation improvement.
Gu Chaoyan had her own reasons for developing such a pill, and now it was time to see the results of her efforts.
