Feng Tongtong quickly returned.
"Hey, the spirit stones you wanted are all here, fifty thousand spirit stones, not a single one missing!"
Feng Tongtong threw a spirit stone pouch at him. "Can I have the medicine now?"
The old man slowly opened the spirit stone pouch and scanned it with his divine sense.
Seeing the pouch filled with fifty thousand spirit stones, he immediately broke into a smile and quickly handed over a bottle of medicine. "Miss, this is what you wanted."
Having obtained the desired medicine, Feng Tongtong quickly pulled up her black robe and poured the medicine onto her head.
Her gleaming scalp suddenly sprouted luxuriant hair.
"Ahahaha! My hair, it's all back!"
Feng Tongtong laughed to the sky, her smile exceptionally striking on her exquisitely made-up face.
The old man cupped his hands towards her. "Wishing you success, Miss. I shall take my leave now."
With her hair back, Feng Tongtong paid no mind to the old man.
She was filled with emotion, her trembling hands caressing her flowing hair, her eyes moistening.
The old man walked into a small alley at the turn, removed the heavy disguise mask from his face, revealing a clean and fair complexion, a seductive smile spreading across his lips.
If Feng Tongtong were present, she would have let out a scream.
For the old man was Feng Ninghe!
Feng Ninghe lowered her gaze, weighing the spirit stone pouch. "I merely took back what rightfully belonged to me. This money was mine to begin with."
Still immersed in her joy, Feng Tongtong let her hair grow back to its original length.
Her maidservant flattered her from the side. "Congratulations, Miss, your hair is back."
Feng Tongtong haughtily lifted her head, reaching out to gently stroke her beautiful hair.
She thought to herself: It was worth sneaking the money from the treasury, it really worked!
Now that her hair had regrown, she naturally no longer needed to wear the black robe.
She casually threw off the black robe and, in high spirits, went sightseeing with her maidservant.
The surrounding pedestrians pointed at her.
"These ignorant people must be captivated by my beauty, a bunch of unsophisticated fools!"
Feng Tongtong was unconcerned, a hint of smugness on her exquisitely made-up face.
However, the whispers of the crowd made Feng Tongtong's expression darken instantly.
"Isn't that the third young lady of the Feng family?"
"Yes, but what happened to her hair? Such a fine young lady, how did she become bald..."
Feng Tongtong instinctively reached up to touch her hair.
But her grasp met empty air.
Anxiously, she quickly felt her head. She found her scalp to be completely bare...
"Ah! Where is my hair!"
Feng Tongtong panicked, frantically touching her head.
The maidservant finally noticed something and quickly examined Feng Tongtong.
Upon seeing Feng Tongtong's gleaming bald head, the maidservant was so frightened she couldn't speak.
Feng Tongtong quickly looked at the ground.
Her hair lay scattered on the floor.
Enraged, she suddenly stood up. "Quick, go find that old man and settle the score! He promised hair growth, how did it all fall out again!"
The stall opposite the Hundred Elixir Tower was already deserted, leaving only a solitary stall. There was no sign of anyone.
Feng Tongtong trembled with anger. "Send people to search for him, you must find him!"
She had specifically gone to the treasury to get spirit stones.
If her hair had regrown, it would have been fine, and she could have explained to her father. But now she had been tricked!
The maidservant quickly brought her a black robe to wear. "Your servant will go find him immediately!"
Feng Tongtong's face was ashen, a ruthless glint in her eyes. "If it weren't for Feng Ninghe, how could I have suffered this? I will make her pay with blood for this humiliation! There's something else you need to handle..."
Meanwhile, Feng Ninghe had returned with Si Xin Xin and Immortal Xu after a hearty meal.
Si Xin Xin, full and content, had become sleepy halfway.
She was now curled up in Feng Ninghe's arms, sleeping.
A maidservant waited by the house, holding a letter in her hand.
"Eldest Miss!"
The moment she saw Feng Ninghe, the maidservant quickly approached her and bowed respectfully.
Feng Ninghe's gaze fell upon the letter in the maidservant's hand. "What is it?"
The maidservant handed her the letter. "This is a letter sent by the First Prince."
Upon seeing the letter, Feng Ninghe raised an eyebrow and casually opened it.
The letter was filled with a string of words: "Meet me in the flower forest outside the city in three days."
This flower forest outside the city was perpetually in bloom, its abundant spiritual energy preventing it from ever withering.
This flower forest was also where Feng Ninghe and Baili Ye used to meet frequently.
She calmly nodded. "I understand. Tell the First Prince, we shall meet in three days."
Seeing her agreement, the maidservant's face lit up with joy. She acknowledged the instruction and quickly departed.
Feng Ninghe's red lips curved imperceptibly, a hint of calculation dancing in her eyes.
She wondered if the First Prince wanted to test the strength of her fists.
At the inn.
Si Jianye had already returned to his room.
He tossed the bottle containing the blood of the Blazing Spirit Blood Lotus to A Xi and said in a deep voice, "You shall return to Xiyou Prefecture first and order the pills to be refined. I will return in a few days."
A Xi nodded knowingly. "As you command."
Before leaving, he glanced at the 'Si Xin Xin' who was desperately stuffing cultivation techniques into her head and thought to himself.
The young master truly doted on the young lady.
Despite the overwhelming affairs in Xiyou Prefecture, the young master was willing to agree to the young lady's request to stay in Li Country for a few more days.
Si Jianye walked to 'Si Xin Xin's' side, his movements exuding a sharp and powerful aura. He lowered his gaze and saw her diligently studying the *Pill Dao Scripture*. His usually cold voice softened slightly.
"Have you been obedient these past two days?"
The little dumpling, with two small pigtails, raised her tender, pink face and looked up at the tall, imposing, and noble man. Mimicking Si Xin Xin's tone, she replied, "Xin Xin has been very obedient. I've been reading the *Pill Dao Scripture* these past two days!"
This 'Si Xin Xin' was, of course, Xiao Zhao transformed.
Upon clearly seeing the handsome face of the man before her, Xiao Zhao's round, big eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
So this was Xin Xin's father?
"Since that's the case, I shall test you."
Saying this, Si Jianye extended a hand with well-defined, slender, and beautiful fingers.
Reaching over Xiao Zhao's shoulder, he picked up the *Pill Dao Scripture* from in front of it, lowered his gaze, flipped through a few pages, and began to speak.
When it came to 'Pill Dao', it was practically Xiao Zhao's specialty.
It had always been by Feng Ninghe's side, and through years of osmosis, while its understanding of Pill Dao might not be as profound as its master's, it was still considerably stronger than Immortal Xu's.
Ordinary questions about Pill Dao could not stump Xiao Zhao.
"Okay!"
Xiao Zhao smiled sweetly, not refusing.
A flicker of surprise crossed the man's eyes.
In the past, this little girl had disliked studying the most and would always make excuses when he tried to test her.
Today, she agreed so readily.
Could it be that during his absence, she had truly settled down and stayed in the room to read and study?
