"What?" A deep frown appeared on Feng Yu's forehead when she heard this.
"Yes, Young Miss. She's currently brawling with our two guards and is continuously demanding some pendant," the maid explained hurriedly.
'Pendant…' Feng Yu was immediately reminded of something and rushed towards the guest quarters that very moment.
"Young miss!" the maid followed after Feng Yu the next moment.
'She's not one of those demonic cultivators…right?' Yi Chen thought in worry as he gulped and followed after the two of them.
A while later, when Feng Yu reached the place, her eyes widened in surprise.
The room, which looked neat and tidy a few hours earlier, was now in disarray.
Ceramic art pieces lay broken on the floor, flowers crushed, a bed sheet lying on one corner of the room, and the perpetrator for all this was currently being restrained by her arms by the two guards.
"Let go! I said Let go, you thieves!" The old lady struggled to get out of the two men's grip but failed.
Feng Yu was soon followed by the maid and Yi Chen.
Seeing the old lady with an exalted presence to her, acting like a rough brute, Yi Chen's expression fell, 'I didn't make a mistake right…'
"Madam, calm down, please! Tell me what's the matter. I was the one who had rescued you earlier," Feng Yu immediately spoke in an attempt to curb the situation.
While at it, she gestured towards the two guards, who soon let go of their grips but were still cautious of the lady.
The old lady snorted and massaged her arms while staring daggers towards Feng Yu, "Rescue? You call stealing away my belongings a rescue?! If not for the fact that I'm currently weakened-"
Before the lady could continue, Feng Yu interrupted her, "Steal? We didn't steal any of your belongings?"
"After all this, you still lie?" the old lady scorned, "I clearly remember my pendant being on my neck when I lost consciousness. If not you, then who would have done that?"
"It could have been stolen by someone else, you know…" Yi Chen interjected from the side.
"You!" the old lady glared at Yi Chen that very moment.
'Shit…me and my bloody mouth," Yi Chen thought to himself as he immediately avoided her gaze and acted clueless.
"Enough!" Seeing this, Feng Yu raised her voice and walked towards the old lady, "If it's just the pendant you want, then it's right here."
Feng Yu reached towards a drawer next to the bed and took out a pendant from within. It had a metallic thread to it, and it had an orange gemstone in its centre.
"Take it. Instead of accusing us, you should have checked your surroundings first." Feng Yu passed the pendant to her. Earlier, because the old lady's clothes were in tatters, Feng Yu had got her changed with the help of the maids. At that time, she had placed this pendant in this drawer.
"This…" The old lady's anger got replaced with embarrassment as she accepted that pendant from Feng Yu.
However, she still carefully checked the pendant with seriousness and only a second later did she subtly nod and focus her gaze back at Feng Yu as a sense of calmness returned to her face.
"I deeply apologise for my earlier misconduct, young lady. You helped me out, and instead of showing gratitude, I blamed you all." The old lady stood up the next moment and bowed towards Feng Yu.
Feng Yu was taken by surprise by this act, "W-what are you doing, you're elder to me,"
"It's only right for me to do it and also…" the next moment, the pendant in the old lady's hand glowed, and a jar filled golden colored pills appeared in her hand.
"These are 'Golden Firmament Pills'. Compared to the goodwill you've shown towards me, it's only right for me to give these to you," the old lady said.
'This…' Feng Yu was so amazed at the sight of those pills appearing out of nothingness that she didn't even hear the old lady's following words. It was the same with all the servants present in the room.
Of course, there was an exemption in the room, Yi Chen.
'We've hit a jackpot!' Yi Chen thought to himself in delight as his gaze was plastered towards the pills in the old lady's hands. He didn't know what they did, but just from the sight alone, he could guess that they must have some remarkable properties.
"G-Golden Firmament Pills?!" Master Ru's shocked voice suddenly came from the doorway. After being informed by one of the servants about the incident, he had immediately rushed to the spot and had arrived just now.
"Father?" Feng Yu was immediately woken from her stupor when she heard her father's voice and turned towards the door. To her surprise, her father had an expression of fright that he had never seen before.
"Esteemed elder, I deeply ask for your forgiveness if we have unintentionally angered you. I beg you to show mercy to my family," Master Ru kowtowed the very next moment and pleaded. Having just arrived, he had clearly misinterpreted the room.
"Please don't", the old lady's figure appeared right before Master Ru, the very next moment and gently lifted him up, "If there's someone who should be apologising, it's me. Here, accept these pills. These are a token of my gratefulness and also an apology for my previous discourtesy."
The old lady handed the pills to Feng Ru's father, thinking that it would be more appropriate for her to do so.
Master Ru realised that he had wrongly interpreted the room. However, when he saw those glistening pills in his hands, he couldn't help but say, "No…they are too precious, how can I accept such lifesaving pills?"
"Compared to my life, they really aren't. Please accept them," An amiable smile formed on the old lady's face as she said that and Master Ru was left with no other option but to accept them.
"Thank you." The old lady nodded, seeing this.
"M-Madam…who really are you?" Fang Yu, who was seeing all this happening, couldn't help but ask. She still vividly remembered her father's expression and wanted to get to the bottom of the matter.
