Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 418 Refining Condense Spirit (6)

An Yiqing watched his excited demeanor and couldn’t help but chuckle softly, slowly explaining, "I have developed a pill that can turn ordinary people into Ancient Martial Artists. However, Yulin, please keep this matter confidential for me with the other ’Red Thorn’ members." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Tan Yulin’s excited emotions gradually settled down and as he marveled at An Yiqing’s ability, he nodded seriously. He knew that if this matter were to get out, An Yiqing and even the An Family could potentially be threatened. An Yiqing might be fine, considering her profound strength. But the An Family members...

Thinking of the An Family, Tan Yulin couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Qing, since you have this kind of pill, why not let Commander An and the others...?"

An Yiqing understood what Tan Yulin meant, and she shook her head, her eyes shimmering with intelligent light, "The time is not right yet. The An Family banquet is just a few days away. If Grandpa and the others take the pill and become Ancient Martial Artists now, when all the major families gather, it will become a big problem."

Tan Yulin was a perceptive man, he got the point instantly. He understood the relationships involved. The An Family banquet would certainly invite all the influential families from Xuandu City, such as the Guh Family, the Yu Family from the South led by Tianyou, and other Ancient Martial Arts Families. If those old foxes were to find out that the An Family members had all become Ancient Martial Artists, the troubles that would follow would be endless.

Having understood the implications, Tan Yulin didn’t ask further, "Xiao Qing, don’t worry, I won’t talk about this matter with anyone else. I will notify the others in a while. In ’Red Thorn,’ you can rest assured, this matter won’t leak out."

An Yiqing nodded. She naturally trusted the loyalty of the ’Red Thorn’ members. Gu Yelin’s subordinates would never allow a traitor to emerge!

After resolving the matters with Zhifeng and the others, under their reluctant gazes, An Yiqing left the base.

An Family Villa

An Yiqing pressed the doorbell, and after a short while, the door was opened from inside, revealing a face she didn’t recognize.

It was an old lady, about the same age as Old Lady An, but unlike Old Lady An’s straightforwardness, this old lady had a gentle and elegant demeanor. She reminded An Yiqing of... Kong Shi.

Looking at the old lady in front of her, An Yiqing felt strangely familiar, and a flash of light in her mind conjured up a memory of a photograph.

It was a photograph Kong Shi had shown her when she had just returned to the An Family. In it were three people: herself as a newborn, a young Kong Shi, and an elegant middle-aged woman.

Although nearly twenty years had passed, An Yiqing was certain that this old lady was indeed the woman from the photo!

Her grandmother!

"Are you... Grandmother?" An Yiqing asked carefully.

Upon hearing this, the old lady’s eyes crinkled with joy, and she stepped forward to embrace An Yiqing, excitedly exclaiming, "Niuniu! Grandma’s dear granddaughter! You must have suffered so much all these years out there! Grandma has missed you so much!"

As she was hugged by the old lady, An Yiqing’s mind involuntarily revisited what she knew about her maternal grandparents.

Kong Shi’s father, named Kong Shuyan, originally came from a well-known literary family in Water Town. He fell in love and married Shao Fang at the age of twenty. Then, they moved north to Xuandu City and started their own career.

The Kong Family might not be a noble or Ancient Martial Arts Family, but they held a high status in the academic world. Tracing back from Kong Shuyan’s generation, the family tree was full of officials from history, all of them top imperial examinees, a genuine scholarly family.

By the time it came to Kong Shuyan’s generation, the progeny of the Kong Family had spread all over the world, students and disciples everywhere. Kong Shuyan himself, with his genuine talent and scholarship, firmly secured the position of Director of the Xuanjin Museum.
