Liu Qi’s tone was as gentle as her smile. As soon as she finished speaking, Ancestor Su and Su Chenghua’s faces revealed a comical daze at the same time. “You, you’re joking with us, right? A peak first-grade elixir is normally priced at 1,000 gold coins, but you’re only selling it for 300 gold coins. Are you crazy?” Su Chenghua shouted in disbelief.

Liu Qi glanced at Su Chenghua disdainfully. “If Master Su doesn’t believe me, just wait and see. Someone, please escort Ancestor Su and Master Su out.”

Liu Qi had issued an eviction order right to their face. The two of them from the Su family had no choice but to be ‘politely’ escorted by the servants of the Qian Yao Pavilion.

“Ancestor Su, what should we do next?” Su Chenghua’s face was long with worry, almost to the point of depression.

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Ancestor Su gritted his teeth fiercely. “I don’t believe that they can really lower the price of the Vitality Fortifying Elixir to 300 gold coins! Even the cost of the medicinal herbs cannot be covered at this price. They are not stupid. Why would they do a losing business? Let’s go, we’ll wait and see what happens here!”

Su Chenghua looked at the Ancestor Su’s back and hesitated. In the end, he didn’t dare to refute and obediently followed along.

Ancestor Su had obviously underestimated the Qian Yao Pavilion. Half an hour later, the Qian Yao Pavilion opened its doors and immediately informed the customers who came to buy elixirs that the price of the Vitality Fortifying Elixir had been reduced to 300 gold coins each. Not only that, but all customers who bought the Soul Cleansing Elixir would receive a 20% discount on all other elixirs and herbs in the shop.

As soon as this news spread, almost everyone in the imperial capital came to buy the elixirs from the Qian Yao Pavilion. The queue outside Qian Yao Pavilion stretched all the way down the street. Presumably, the Su family’s pharmacy across the street was deserted, with no customers showing up for the entire morning.

Liu Qi relayed this good news to the people sent by Gu Qingyou. Soon, Su Qian and Gu Qingyou received the news in the Feng Lin Auction House.

Upon hearing this news, Su Qian wasn’t surprised. She just sat elegantly in her seat and continued to examine the details on the account book. “Tell Liu Qi to maintain this price for now. If there are any changes in the future, 1’11 notify her again.”

“Understood.” Gu Qingyou stood beside Su Qian and served her. There were only the two of them in the spacious room. He looked at Su Qian and gently suggested. “Master, it’s almost noon. How about inviting the Young Master and Young Miss to the auction house for a meal?”

“No, 1 don’t want to reveal my identity for the time being.” As Su Qian spoke, she put down the account book and gave Gu Qingyou a faint smile. “Business has been good recently. Keep it up. That’s it. I’ll head back first.”

When Gu Qingyou heard this, he hesitated to stop her, but he didn’t say anything in the end. He could only watch Su Qian as he felt disappointed.

Su Qian got into the carriage back to the inn. On the way back, she asked the coachman, “Have the Ancestor Su and Su Chenghua returned?”

“Reporting to Master, both of them have already returned to the Su family. Now, their medicine is piling up and can’t be sold. The Heavenly Medicine Sect is also a little uneasy. They’re worried that the Su family will waste their effort and won’t be able to pay in the end. So they’re also putting pressure on the Su family, forcing Ancestor Su to run around. He’s very busy.”

“That’s good.” Su Qian thought to herself. She planned to bring the children to the Su family after they had eaten. But when she got off the carriage and entered the inn, she found the room empty. The children were nowhere to be seen, and only Xiao Shi, the maid Gu Qingyou had sent to take care of the children yesterday, was sitting at the table embroidering.

Su Qian was puzzled. It was almost lunchtime.. Where had the two children gone?
