“I think so too…” Su Qingqing thought of Xiao Yan. She still liked him from the bottom of her heart. “Brother, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Although I haven’t known Ninth Uncle for long, I feel that I trust him very much. I just have this strange feeling that Ninth Uncle will never harm us. Is that weird for me to have such feelings?”

“Actually, I have the same feeling,” Su Ye said thoughtfully. After saying this, he pinched his sister’s small face. “Alright, let’s not dwell on it. At most, we’ll just ask Ninth Uncle the next time we see him. Come on, let’s go to the kitchen to make something delicious for Mother. Mother is working so hard now, she can’t skip meals.”

“Okay!” Su Qingqing smiled and agreed. Then, the two siblings walked towards the kitchen hand in hand.

In the secret chamber, Su Qian was focused on refining elixirs. This refinement took a whole day and night. When dawn broke the next day, she finally managed to produce two days’ worth of Vitality Fortifying Elixirs in one go. Coupled with the two days of refinement by her subordinates, she could finally replenish some of their stock.

After personally sending the elixirs to Qian Yao Pavilion, Su Qian saw Liu Qi and the others methodically storing the elixirs in the warehouse. Su Qian finally let go of the tension that had been hanging over her and breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as she relaxed, the fatigue in her body swept over like a wave. The intense sleepiness engulfed Su Qian’s consciousness, causing her eyelids to droop uncontrollably.

Although refining low-level medicinal herbs didn’t consume too much of Su Qian’s strength, the sheer quantity she had to refine was overwhelming. She didn’t allow herself to mess around, so the mental strain was tremendous. This kind of mental exhaustion could only be compensated for through sleep.

“Master, I will be watching over here. You’ve been tired for a day and night. It’s better to go back and rest early.” Liu Qi stood by and couldn’t help but advise when she saw Su Qian’s pale face.

“There’s no rush. I’ll wait until I sec the sales situation.” As Su Qian spoke, She walked up the stairs to the second floor. “I’ll go to the second floor to rest for a while. Come up and call me when the workshop opens for business.”

“Yes.” Liu Qi said as she watched Su Qian go upstairs.

Su Qian had dozed off on the soft couch for half an hour. When Qian Yao Pavilion opened for business and the sales of elixirs were as prosperous as ever, she finally felt at ease and quietly slipped out of the back door.

As Su Qian walked alone on the way back, feeling the cool breeze of the early morning, she soon noticed someone quietly following her.

Su Qian slowed down her pace a bit and glanced over her shoulder. As she suspected, she saw a figure sneaking into a nearby alley, thinking that they had escaped her keen perception.

Upon seeing this, Su Qian raised her eyebrows slightly.

It had been a long time since someone had overestimated themselves and followed her. She was curious and wanted to see who this person was to have such guts.

As she thought about it, Su Qian hastened her pace and slipped into the alley.

The sudden movement from Su Qian made the follower’s heart skip a beat. He quickly chased after her into the alley and happened to see Su Qian’s fiery figure turn and disappear into the depths of the alleyway.

Afraid that he would lose Su Qian, who had suddenly increased her speed, the person quickened his pace and followed Su Qian around the corner. However, he bumped into Su Qian’s fiery figure unexpectedly.

Su Qian’s eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent as she took in the face of the person in front of her. She frowned in confusion.. “Why is it you?”
