You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

"Speaking of which, because you saved me this time, my grandfather also knows you."

Do you know what he thinks of you?

Without lingering on the troubling topic, Lu Qingyan suddenly remembered something interesting and began to speak with great interest.

"Was that the Second Deacon's assessment?"

Lu Heng was perhaps a little curious. He had heard of the Second Steward's name countless times outside, but had never met him.

It's quite amusing to know how the second steward's granddaughter perceives him now, as they are separated by the distance.

"Who else could my grandfather be?"

He asked me about that matter before and asked me to thank you on his behalf.

He also asked me some questions about you. "Lu Qingyan replied irritably.

"How did you answer?"

Lu Heng was slightly emotionally affected by the Second Steward, a shrewd person who had climbed up from the bottom of the branch family.

If you can make judgments about something based on certain events, then there's a big problem!

"Some unimportant things, and your personality..."

Lu Qingyan answered.

"Is there something wrong with my personality? Why do you seem a little dissatisfied?"

Lu Heng touched his nose.

"Heh." Lu Qingyan sneered.

She recalled her conversation with her grandfather a few days earlier.

"What do you think of that boy?" The second deacon asked with a slight smile.

"The stones in the latrine are smelly and hard!" Lu Qingyan answered almost without thinking.

"Why?" The old man seemed somewhat surprised.

"That guy may seem normal most of the time, but he always manages to come up with unexpected solutions when it comes to important matters..."

There were things he could have easily accomplished by doing things a certain way, but he chose to do the opposite.

In front of her grandfather, Lu Qingyan made no secrets and poured out all her grievances in one breath.

After saying that, he still seemed a little unsatisfied.

"I don't know why this guy is always so calm..."

It's like he's missing a screw.

Those things were like the sky falling down for him.

This is also what Lu Qingyan finds most puzzling.

But after listening to her complaints, the old man suddenly became serious.

The old man then remarked with emotion.

"My dear granddaughter, do you know how your grandfather felt after hearing what you said?"

Lu Qingyan honestly shook her head at that moment.

"This child is not to be made an enemy of. If he is, he will become a great threat if we do not eliminate him!"

There's absolutely nothing wrong with you choosing to be friends with this boy.

The fact that he saved your life without hesitation this time says a lot.

But ultimately, some things depend on yourself.

Grandpa, I don't want to say any more.

Finally, the old man said this.

Looking at his granddaughter, the old man sighed inwardly.

She herself did not realize that she was subconsciously delighted that her grandfather had approved of Lu Heng.

………………

"He said you're a good kid, worth getting to know better," Lu Qingyan teased after thinking for a moment.

"That's it." Lu Heng subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing this, the girl pursed her lips.

But the conversation didn't end there; she took out a small booklet from her storage bag.

"Here, this is what you wanted..."

It was going to be a bit troublesome, but it was resolved after I told my grandfather.

Lu Qingyan said magnanimously.

Lu Heng eagerly took the booklet and almost immediately realized what the other person was talking about.

Knowledge of spiritual food preparation was something he wanted to obtain as soon as he came into this world.

However, without Lu Qingyan's help, he wouldn't have even considered acquiring such important knowledge before reaching the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

With his proficiency in the panel, he was able to completely solve his resource problems during the Body Refinement Secret Realm stage.

Of course, Lu Heng did not forget the basics of making spiritual food, as well as the fact that it also required money.

Although the price of spirit rice is not as high as that of finished spirit food, it is by no means cheap due to the monopoly.

Furthermore, due to production losses and other reasons, for most people, it is more cost-effective to buy food directly from the outer courtyard's cafeteria than to learn how to make spiritual food themselves.

Lu Heng did this because the existence of the panel proficiency level gave him the confidence to improve the spiritual food production to its theoretical limit.

With his skillful optimization of the panel for making spiritual food, he was confident that he could make top-grade spiritual food, though he wouldn't say he could make the legendary entry-level spiritual food for cultivators in the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

The ingredients for making non-ranked spiritual food are actually just ordinary non-ranked spiritual rice; the difference in quality lies in the difference in the skill level required to make it.

However, he happened to have a way to solve the problem without leaving Qinghe City.

"Qingyan, can you make some arrangements for me? I'm going to have an underground boxing match in a few days."

Without any hesitation, just as the girl had requested, Lu Heng made his request.

"Okay, no problem." Lu Qingyan glanced at Lu Heng with surprise, but did not offer to provide the resources herself.

She had a feeling that the boy in front of her would refuse without hesitation.

Perhaps it was because of pride, or perhaps for some other reason.

But she didn't intend to investigate further.

After going through a practical assessment, the relationship between the two quietly became closer.

………………

After the martial arts demonstration ended, Lu Heng returned to his room in the outer courtyard, as usual.

I originally planned to start my practice as usual.

But in the empty room, a clear, ethereal voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Young man, you seem to need help?"

Lu Heng wasn't surprised at all; instead, his lips twitched involuntarily.

"You've finally shown up," he replied calmly.

In fact, on the day he received the jade pendant, it was perhaps because the jade pendant formed a connection with him.

The panel has already obtained the information about the jade pendant.

[Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant: ? ? ?! Rank, a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Demon Sect, connected to you by karma. One of its remnant souls is dormant, but due to touching a wisp of innate origin, the remnant soul is awakening.]

And a few days later, probably on the day that the arrogant young man, who was also the grandson of the Grand Deacon, came to their door.

The information on the panel quietly changed…

[Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant: ? ? ?! Rank, a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Demon Sect, connected to you by karma. One of its remnant souls was dormant, but due to touching a wisp of innate origin, the remnant soul has awakened.]

After obtaining the panel information, Lu Heng knew that he had inadvertently gotten himself into a hot potato.

However, due to the causal connection between him and the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant, he could not possibly throw the pendant away.

After lying low for several days, perhaps because they had collected enough information, they decided to continue.

At this moment, the remnant soul within the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant chose to appear.

Lu Heng had only ever seen such a level of consciousness in books, where even a wisp of a soul could maintain its awareness.
