Chapter 56: Chapter 56 - Meeting Mrs. Lingtian

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Luo Qianqian and Murong Xue had no idea what tests others went through, they were escorted to where Master Lingtian resided to wait for Master Lingtian.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Murong Xue was no fool, she knew why she could make the cut had everything to do with her sister-in-law for she had not done anything to impress Master Lingtian yet.

Murong Xue fondled the Hetian Jade pendant in hand admiringly, she asked Luo Qianqian, “Sister-in-law, please tell me what have you done to impress Master Lingtian?”

She was indeed curious.

Luo Qianqian didn’t mean to conceal anything from Murong Xue anyways, “Nothing much, I just did him a simple favor.”

“Wow, lucky me, thank you so much my good sister-in-law, I had been worried that what if I couldn’t make the cut.” Murong Xue caught hold of Luo Qianqian’s arm and was loud in her thanks.

‘Girl power, yay!’

Murong Xue admired this sister-in-law more than anyone now, she hoped maybe she could rely on her brother Murong Yun to make the cut, but her brother now was nowhere to be found!

‘Humph, from now on, I only listen to my sister-in-law!’

The two knew Master Lingtian and Shu Jian would be occupied for a while, so they figured they might need to keep themselves entertained till the they finished the test, so they played by a swing cheerfully.

A girl walked towards the swing with relaxed and dignified steps.

“Is it you who have saved my life?”

The two were all startled to hear this for they weren’t expecting any company.

“Ghost!” Murong Xue sprang from the swing and took hold of Luo Qianqian’s hand, “Sister-in-law, I’m scared!”

Luo Qianqian’s lips twitched, “Xue, there’s no ghost in broad daylight.”

With that she turned back to look at the unexpected guest——

This girl looked a little bit familiar, she was a tall slender girl with delicate features, big almond-shaped eyes, rosy lips and flawless skin, she wasn’t wearing a whole lot of makeup, but you could tell she was a natural beauty. The most special feature about this beautiful girl was she looked very friendly and approachable.

She looked like she was in her twenties, which was slightly old than Luo Qianqian and Murong Xue, therefore she had a mature touch that the two girls could only wish for.

The girl looked a bit low on energy, Luo Qianqian narrowed her eyes and pulled Murong Xue from the swing, “Xue, let’s greet Mrs. Lingtian.”

Hearing that, Murong Xue’s eyes were wide open,, this woman was Mrs. Lingtian?

Wait, didn’t people say Mrs. Lingtian was bedridden?

But this girl… she looked too well for a sick person, her complexion was to die for!

And Murong Xue had some dark circles due to lack of sleep for the past few days, but this girl in front of them just had flawless skin, how she wish she could have such great skin!

Murong Xue greeted Tong’er while her mind went wild.

“Greetings, Mrs. Lingtian.”

Murong Xue’s suspicion was natural, who could believe a dying person could recover overnight?

Tong’er looked perfectly fine now, she just found her limbs a bit weak due to lack of exercise.

Master Lingtian told Tong’er that she was saved by a girl named Luo Qianqian, and Tong’er caught a glimpse of Luo Qianqian when she presented Master Lingtian the Elixir, just now she saw Luo Qianqian and found this girl familiar so she decided to try her luck and asked whether this girl was her life-savor.

Twenty years, she had always thought recovering would be a wishful thinking, let alone she would be granted twenty more years of life!

But she had never blamed anyone for her sickness, she and Master Lingtian would keep their young visages forever, so just like the saying went, ‘you win some you lose some’, she was just glad it was her who had been bedridden rather than Master Lingtian.

The two girls were here and they called her Mrs. Lingtian, it meant… it meant… Lingtian had taken them as his disciples?

Tong’er lowered her head and saw their jade pendants in hand, she nodded and was more certain about who they were.

“I’m happy for Lingtian that he has got two disciples like you two.” Tong’er smiled at Luo Qianqian and Murong Xue, she felt relieved that the love of her life would have such great company even though she would die one day soon.

Tong’er had long been pushing Master Lingtian for taking disciples, therefore Master Lingtian wouldn’t end his life for her after she passed away.

She would not forgive herself if Lingtian really committed suicide for her one day.

Seeing Tong’er’s expression turning gloomy, Luo Qianqian stepped forward and comforted her, “Mrs. Lingtian, don’t worry, I promise you that you have at least twenty more years to be together with Master Lingtian.”

Luo Qianqian’s eyes were sparkling when she said this to Tong’er, and Tong’er felt so touched, ‘has my dream come true? Can I really spend twenty more years with Lingtian?’

Tears welled up in Tong’er’s eyes, she caught hold of Luo Qianqian’s hand and said “thank you”.

Yeah, thank this girl for twenty more years of happiness with Master Lingtian.

“You are welcome.” Luo Qianqian felt a bit shy. She felt honored that she could help Master Lingtian and the love of his life to have the happiness they deserved back.

Hearing that, Murong Xue was dumbfounded, ‘What?! My sister-in-law just saved Tong’er’s life, and she called that a ‘simple favor’? And a dying person could have twenty more years life?’

‘Wait, since when has sister-in-law practised medicine? Is she better than Doctor Lin? Can she saved my brother?’

“Sister-in-law, can you treat my brother please?” Murong Xue asked the question in her mind.

Murong Xue remember it vividly when she witnessed Master Lingtian suffered an onset of Frigid Poison when they were both little, Master Lingtian wasn’t as cultivated back then, his skin shattered into fragments, and blood oozed from the cracks on the skin. Murong Xue felt heartbroken seeing her brother suffered great pain rather than scared.

She had been investigating who had poisoned her brother, but she got nothing so far.

Luo Qianqian looked at Murong Xue with tenderness in her eyes, “Sorry Xue, I don’t practise medicine, I saved Mrs. Lingtian by pure luck.”

Murong Xue’s eyes dimmed, ‘yeah, sister-in-law is as young as me, and she had a hard time surviving in that stupid Prime Minister Mansion, how could she master such great art of healing.’

Luo Qianqian would like to explain more about his, but she didn’t want to talk about Master Lingtian’s privacy in the presence of Mrs. Lingtian, so she simply did a brief explanation.

The three ladies walked to Tong’er’s room, they smelt the aroma of the medicine before they even entered the room, it must be the medicine that Doctor Lin had prescribed for Tong’er.

“Xue, you are Princess Eleventh, right?” asked Tong’er.

Tong’er had figured this out from Murong Xue’s surname, only royal family member were privileged enough to have “Mu” as their surname.

Even though Tong’er had been bedridden for a long time, Master Lingtian had been telling her stories to entertain her, so she knew all the wide world’s affairs without going outside of her door.

Thinking how considerate Master Lingtian had been to her, affection rippled in Tong’er’s eyes and a sheen of happiness glowed all over her body.

She always felt she didn’t deserve such a great partner like Master Lingtian.
