When Qing Ming, who had been standing guard outside, heard that Gu Ruoyun has exited the Restricted Area, he had immediately rushed towards them before exclaiming with reverence, “Greetings Young Master, Young Madam.”

　　“Qing Ming, I want you to bring these medicinal herbs over.”

　　Qianbei Ye waved his large hand and placed the list of medicinal herbs that Gu Ruoyun had just written down into Qing Ming’s hand. He then ordered coldly, “You are given a quarter of an hour to complete this task.”

　　“Understood.”

　　After accepting the list, Qing Ming slowly rose to his feet and looked as if he wanted to say something else but had stopped himself.

　　“Is there anything else?” Qianbei Ye furrowed his brows and his voice was as gloomy as ever.

　　“Young Master,” Qing Ming paused for a moment to gather his courage. “Something has happened in the Underworld over this period of time…”

　　Qianbei Ye’s expression grew even colder.

　　He was not angry about the matters concerning the Underworld but was blaming Qing Ming over his lack of judgment.

　　He had only just reunited with Gu Ruoyun and they had been separated for three months. Yet Qing Ming was still hanging around after receiving the order and was disturbing their privacy! If this was not a lack of judgment, then what is?

　　Clearly, Qing Ming sensed Qianbei Ye’s dissatisfaction and his heart rate began to rise on caution. Cold sweat also began to drip down his forehead.

　　Just as Qing Ming was beginning to lose the ability to withstand Qianbei Ye’s coercion, the man’s gloomy voice slowly rang out again, ” I’m not interested in knowing what’s going on in the Underworld ¹ ! I don’t want anyone to disturb us now. Do you understand?”

　　Even though Qianbei Ye had built the Underworld, not even the Underworld was more important than his private time with Gu Ruoyun.

　　Therefore, he had chased Qing Ming away before waiting for him to finish his report on the situation in the Underworld.

　　“Yes, Young Master, I will do as you command.”

　　Qing Ming wiped the cold sweat off his brow and did not dare to say anything more as he hurriedly left to complete his task. As for the situation in the Underworld… It was best that the Young Master finds out about that himself. He was not going to push his luck!

　　…

　　The Underworld has a vast and formidable information network. Hence, Qing Ming had only needed to be away for a short while before he brought the required herbs for the Longevity Pill over.

　　To Gu Ruoyun right now, there was nothing easier than refining Longevity Pills. Therefore, she managed to refine a cauldron full of pills in no time at all! She then placed the pills needed by the Ancestral Elders into Qing Ming’s hand and spoke indifferently, “Give these pills to them.”

　　Qing Ming was shaken and turned towards Qianbei Ye, puzzled.

　　Qianbei Ye felt irritable at the sight of the look in Qing Ming’s eyes and he furrowed his brows once again.

　　“From now on, the Young Madam holds the greatest power in the Underworld. You must obey her orders!”

　　The greatest power?

　　Does that mean that she was more powerful than the Ancestral Elders and the Young Master?

　　Qing Ming blinked dazedly but did not dare to hesitate any further as he replied with reverence, “As you command! However, if I were to go alone, why would the Ancestral Elders believe me and consume these pills?”

　　Qianbei Ye looked at Qing Ming, “You only need to give these pills to them. Whether they consume them or not, that’s their problem. Furthermore, once they’ve taken the pills, have them meet me in the Clan Hall!”

　　Qianbei Ye did not say anything more after this and left towards the courtyard, holding Gu Ruoyun.

　　Previously, he had gone to the back mountains to see them on account of their weak bodies. Now that they have the Longevity Pills, letting them live for a few more years would not be a problem! He no longer has the need to personally go to them! Instead, he would have them make the trip to see him!
