Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 102 Seeking the Phoenix Flower

Yang Nianqing instantly appeared in a picturesque place. Gu Lang was sitting in a bamboo house enjoying tea. Upon seeing Yang Nianqing, he waved his fan and said, "Qing'er is here!"

Yang Nianqing waved and laughed, "Grandma!" She ran up the bamboo house and threw herself into Gu Lang's arms, excitedly exclaiming, "I missed you so much, Grandma!"

Gu Yuan smiled and ruffled her hair: "How have you been lately? How are things going with the baby's father?"

“I’m doing very well. I’ve been very happy lately. I’m finally free from the Yang family. My baby’s father is also very good to me. I’ll bring him to see you in a while,” Yang Nianqing said with a smile.

Gu Lang smiled with relief and said, "That's good."

Seeing the band-aid on Yang Nianqing's forehead, Gu Lang asked in confusion, "What's that on your forehead?"

Yang Nianqing realized what had happened and smiled sheepishly, taking off the band-aid. The small wound was almost scabbed over. "It bled a little, but the baby's father insisted that I put it on."

Gu Lang chuckled.

Suddenly remembering something, Yang Nianqing touched his eyes and asked in confusion, "By the way, Ancestor, will there be a problem with my third eye?"

Yang Nianqing sat down opposite him, and Gu Lang poured her a cup of tea. Hearing this, Gu Lang asked in confusion, "Did something happen?"

"I've discovered that I can't see any information about my boyfriend or his future using my 'heavenly eye.' When I did fortune-telling for him, all the results were blank. Why is that?" Yang Nianqing rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at Gu Lang without blinking.

Gu Lang raised his teacup, took a slow and deliberate sip, and gently put the teacup down before saying, "There are several reasons for this situation. First, Heaven does not allow you to pry into his fate, but this is extremely rare. Second, this person has no future. Third, that person is outside the Three Realms and Six Paths and is not within the Five Elements. Fourth, that person's strength is comparable to that of a god, and you cannot use divination to investigate him."

As he spoke, Gu Lang raised his teacup and took another sip of tea.

Yang Nianqing pondered for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem to be any of those reasons."

Gu Lang smiled and said, "There's another reason, let me calculate it for you."

Gu Lang wrote down Yang Nianqing's birth date and time, then asked for Fan Ruichen's. After examining their birth dates and times, Gu Lang began to calculate. After a while, Gu Lang smiled slightly and said, "Marriage is predestined. There are slight differences between predestined marriage and preordained marriage. Predestined marriage means that Heaven has assigned many predestined partners to a person, and as long as they seize one of them, they can achieve marriage. But preordained marriage is different. Preordained marriage means that two people are destined by Heaven to be together. They can only have each other in this life. If they are not with each other, they will never be happy. It's like the saying, 'A doctor cannot heal himself.' It's the same with divination. Heaven has determined that our destined person is of one heart and one mind with us. So how can you calculate your own future?"

"You should have noticed that you can calculate whether your fortune is good or bad today, but you can't calculate your future. The same goes for calculating your destined person; the divination result will be blank, right? Your third eye works on the same principle; it can't see your own future, nor can it see the future of your destined person."

As he spoke, Gu Lang smiled again, a smile tinged with reminiscence, "Fan Ruichen is the one destined for you. Your future is in your own hands. What does it matter if it can't be predicted?"

So that's the reason! They were destined for each other! Yang Nianqing suddenly realized and smiled, "I understand! Thank you, Ancestor!"

Thinking that Gu Lang had summoned her today, Yang Nianqing quickly asked, "By the way, Ancestor, why did you call me today?" Gu Lang's expression turned serious. He took out two paintings from his sleeve and handed them to Yang Nianqing, saying, "Alright, let's get down to business. Back then, I sealed myself in this secret realm. It's not time to leave yet. If I go out rashly, this secret realm will collapse. This is the last thing she left me. In order for us to continue our relationship, I have to protect this place."

“A rare and precious treasure has recently appeared in the outside world. It’s called the Phoenix-Seeking Flower. It takes ten thousand years to mature and has the power to revive the dead and heal the wounded. It can also improve a person’s cultivation level. It is my hope of finding your great-grandmother. I’m refining a rare medicine, and I need the Phoenix-Seeking Flower and the Spirit-Seeking Grass. With these two things, I can find your great-grandmother. I’ve been separated from her for far too long, Qing’er. I need your help to find these two things.”

Our ancestor waited for our great-grandmother for thousands of years, enduring thousands of years of loneliness in this Phoenix Secret Realm, all to wait for the Phoenix Seeking Flower and the Spirit Seeking Grass to mature so that we could find our great-grandmother. Of course, we must find her!

“No problem! Ancestor, I will definitely find these two things for you, and you will definitely be able to see your great-grandmother!” Yang Nianqing said with a firm expression.

Gu Lang smiled with satisfaction and said, "The Phoenix Seeking Flower has this effect, and the Spirit Seeking Grass is not bad either. Both are extremely rare natural treasures. Their appearance will surely cause the Xuanxue world to fight over them. The Phoenix Seeking Flower is blooming now, and it will wither in a month. Qing'er, you must find the Phoenix Seeking Flower within this month. After that, the Spirit Seeking Grass will also mature. So you must find these two things within these two months. After picking these two spiritual herbs, put them in the Ten Thousand Year Ice Jade Box for preservation."

Gu Lang waved his fan, and two jade boxes appeared in front of Yang Nianqing.

Gu Yuan then told Yang Nianqing the approximate locations of the two spiritual herbs. The tricky part was that one of the herbs was in the north and the other in the south, which were completely opposite directions.

"There will definitely be a lot of cultivators vying for it this time, so you must bring all your gear. If you can't beat them with your cultivation, we'll just use magic weapons and spiritual artifacts to crush them. If all else fails, just summon me. I should be fine leaving the Phoenix Secret Realm for a while," Gu Lang instructed.

Yang Nianqing put the Ten Thousand Year Ice King Box and the portrait into her spatial bracelet. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, Ancestor."

Be careful in everything you do.

Thinking of Bei Rou, Yang Nianqing said to Gu Lang, "By the way, Ancestor, I encountered people from the Beast Taming Sect outside."

Gu Lang paused in his tea-sipping, frowning. "Does that worthless sect still have any descendants?"

Yang Nianqing nodded and continued, "Yes, and their ways of doing things are no different from before. I just rescued a cat demon. 300 years ago, that cat stole a small dried fish and was captured by them. They forcibly made a contract with her and enslaved her for 300 years, making the cat demon serve them generation after generation. Now that cat demon is cultivating by my side. The people from the Beast Taming Sect are with the people from the Gu family. It seems that they were recruited by the Gu family."

Gu Lang's eyes sharpened, and he slammed his hand on the bamboo table, shattering it into pieces with a 'crack'. "The Gu family is doing a good job now. I'll deal with them slowly after I leave the secret realm!"

Yang Nianqing swallowed hard; it was the first time she had ever seen Gu Lang so angry. "Ancestor, I encountered the Black and White Impermanence outside, and they asked me to give them their regards to you."

"Yes, it's them." Gu Lang smiled. "It's been a long time. I had almost forgotten about them. Qing girl, if you encounter anything you can't handle in the future, you can ask the Black and White Impermanence for help. They are my friends, and they will do their best to help you as long as it doesn't violate the rules of the underworld."

So that's how Black and White Impermanence and Gu Lang are connected. Yang Nianqing nodded in agreement.
