“Nonsense. We didn’t steal it. We took it openly.” Gu Bailu corrected him righteously.
“Is that so?”
The Grand Tutor gave her an unimpressed look. Don’t think you can fool me.
Stealing was stealing, whether it was openly or not. Could they not be so shameless?
“Of course. The Rising Clouds Emperor made a bet with us. If he loses, he has to fulfill our request. Our request was that he give us the supreme pill. So, what’s wrong with taking it? How can that be stealing? We’re just taking what’s our due.”
The Grand Tutor was stunned.
This was a bet. Does he have to give you the whole country?
“He was willing to make the bet, he should be willing to pay the price,” Feng Qingtian said casually.
The Grand Tutor nodded. “Yes, it’s good that you were able to bring it back. However, the pill is indeed quite powerful. Don’t eat it directly. Split it into smaller portions and drink it with clear spring water. You must be careful when you take it, especially since the princess is pregnant.”
“Where is the clear spring water from?” asked Feng Qingtian.
“Clear spring water isn’t easy to obtain. It’s in the depths of the Demon Beast Forest, which is now occupied by the Demon Beast King…”
Gu Bailu smiled. “It’s fine, I know the Beast King.”
“…”
The Grand Tutor was taken aback. Why do you know everyone?
“I’ll send someone to fetch the water. I’ll need the Grand Tutor’s guidance later. Carrying this baby isn’t easy. I don’t want anything to go wrong.”
“You flatter me. This is my duty.”
Gu Bailu was relieved when she learned that the supreme pill could be consumed.
She was at home for two days before the person who went to collect the spring water returned.
“There was no trouble with the Beast King when he heard that Your Highness had sent someone to collect the water, but they’re missing their little prince, and asked when he can return.”
That was the report.
Gu Bailu: “…”
She had been so busy recently that she had forgotten about Miyasi, the beautiful prince.
He was probably building a pagoda on Futu Island with his master?
“Go to the forest again and tell them that the little prince is with his master. I’ll help them send a message to the little prince.”
“Understood, I’ll take my leave.”
Gu Bailu waved her hand, and recalled her master.
She didn’t have her memories before, and had loved her master like a father.
Now, she knew who her master was.
Back then, she and Feng Qingtian had gone to the human world from Heavenly Palace Cliff. She felt that the spiritual power in the human world was too weak and had to be strengthened.
So, she taught her skills to a mortal.
That person was Gu Bailu’s master.
Because of her guidance, her master’s life changed and he became a great person. The bracelet Gu Bailu was wearing was his.
Later, when something happened to Gu Bailu at Heavenly Palace Cliff, her master predicted it and brought two guards to Heavenly Palace Cliff to save Gu Bailu.
The two guards were Gu Bailu’s reincarnated parents.
They had all protected her in their own way.
Whether it was coincidence or fate, she had chased Nan Ningxin to this world from the modern era and transmigrated to become her master’s disciple.
The favor she had bestowed years ago had ultimately helped her. This could be considered karma.
