When the name Bian Guanshi came out of Ning Bianyi’s mouth, Su Ji looked pensive.

This was the first time she heard this name after returning to the Great Shang.

Bian Tong’s grandfather…

He was indeed…not an ordinary person…

The secret of the Bian family, the reason why the eldest grandson of the Bian family, Bian Tong, was immortal…Perhaps only Bian Guanshi knew.

Ning Bianyi had almost told him everything he knew, and there was a hint of showing off.

Ning Lihua was also listening to the conversation enthusiastically. She looked at her father with admiration in her eyes.

When he was done, Ning Bianyi deliberately said to Su Ji, “Consort Dowager, if such a powerful person can be used by Your Highness, it will definitely be of great benefit.”

After saying that, he looked at her expression and changed the topic. “It’s a pity that Old Master Bian’s personality is extremely strange. I heard that he only knows Prince Huai. No matter if it’s a noble or a wealthy merchant, no one can even think of seeing that old man, let alone asking for anything else…”

Su Ji smiled and glanced at Ning Lihua, who was twisting her neck with an expression that deserved a beating. “Master Ning is right.”

Ning Bianyi had said a lot just now. “About what?”

Su Ji smiled profoundly. “If I can use such a powerful person, it will definitely be of great benefit…”

With that, she got up and prepared to leave.

Ai Yan and Ai Meng went to prepare the carriage. Ning Bianyi was stunned for a few seconds. He exchanged glances with Ning Lihua and chased after her.

“Your Highness wants to go now?” He raised his voice and asked, “did Your Highness prepare any gifts? Don’t blame this lowly official for saying too much. If Your Highness leaves empty-handed like this, you will definitely be rejected!”

Su Ji stopped in her tracks and looked up at the sun that was setting in the west. Her tone was casual. “It’s getting late today, so I won’t go to Northern City.”

Ning Bian sneered. A woman like her was quite good at pretending. She was afraid of being rejected, but she insisted on saying it was late.

However, just as he was thinking this, he heard Su Ji call the palace maid beside her. “Ai Yan.”

Ai Yan bowed. “Yes, Consort Dowager.”

Su Ji said, “pass on the word to summon Old Mr. Bian from the Northern City to the palace. I want to see him.”

Ning Bian, who had been snorting coldly, suddenly changed his expression.

What?

The old immortal that others couldn’t even get a chance to see.. she even wanted him to come see her/?

He looked over in disbelief, and Su Ji happened to glance at him.

That glance shocked Ning Bianyi.

That was the deterrence of a person in power, with an unquestionable suppression.

“Father.”

“Father?”

Ning Lihua called out to him a few times before Ning Bianyi came back to his senses.

“The Consort Dowager has already left. What are you still looking at?” Ning Lihua was confused.

Su Ji’s carriage had long since left. Ning Bian shook his head.

“N -nothing.”

Of course, he would not say it. In that instant, he saw her as an Empress…

In less than an hour, the palace servant who passed the message was already standing outside of Old Master’s courtyard.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the fragrance of tea filled the air.

Unlike Bian Tong’s “shabby” place, the conditions here were much better.

The courtyard was cleaned by a manservant who was dressed in plain Taoist robes. The lotus pond was newly repaired. The stone house was not luxurious, but it was magnificent. It was said that it was designed by Old Master Bian himself.

On the futon in the pavilion, a skinny old man with white hair and a white beard was meditating. He was sitting on a lotus seat with his palms facing up and his fingers resting on his knees.

Prince Huai sat opposite him. His sitting posture was more casual. It didn’t look like he was meditating, but more like he was resting with his eyes closed.

It was only after coming here today that he felt calm and sleepy.

The moon fell on the surface of the pool, and was cut into countless pieces by the water surface that moved with the wind. The surroundings were quiet, and only the chirping of insects and birds could be heard. The night scene was also extremely beautiful.

The palace servants were waiting in the outer courtyard, and the servant boy came to report.

After the incense stick burned out, Bian Guanshi opened one of his eyes.

He first glanced at the servant, then turned to look at Prince Huai.

Prince Huai also finished resting and opened his eyes.

Bian Guanshi gestured for the servant to go down and wait. Then, he coughed. “The Consort Dowager suddenly summoned…Does Your Highness think that I should…or should not go?”

Prince Huai gently twirled a string of small white jade beads with his fingertips on his knees. His cold white slender fingers were even more exquisite than jade beads.

“Now that the Consort Dowager is in charge, it is equivalent to the Emperor’s order.” Prince Huai’s tone was leisurely, and he had no intention of helping Old Master Bian to push her away.

“Heh.” Bian Guanshi stroked his beard with a faint smile.

Prince Huai glanced at him and intentionally changed the topic. “Old Master, is the cost of repairing the lotus pond sufficient?”

Bian Guanshi paid for the repair of the lotus pond and the renovation of the courtyard.

Bian Guanshi knew that he was trying to shut him up. “There have been many visitors with rare treasures for years. I won’t accept anyone’s kindness.”

This was indeed the truth. Prince Huai smirked. “Why me?” Bian Guanshi looked at him.

“Why only me?” Prince Huai looked at him.

“All things are mutually reinforcing and countering each other. The cycle of karma,” Bian Guanshi said as he looked at the distant mountains and the starry sky. His words were mysterious. “Knowing destiny is a good thing and a bad thing. I knew from the first time I met Prince Huai that I would fall into your hands sooner or later. Therefore, I accepted Prince Huai’s good intentions with a clear conscience.”

Prince Huai picked up his teacup and laughed again. “You must be joking. You are the White Dragon that has appeared in the world and know everything about heaven and earth. I only have respect for you.”

Bian Guanshi didn’t say anything more. He just took a sip of tea with a slightly dark expression.

“Since the Consort Dowager has summoned you, I will not stay for long.” Prince Huai put down his teacup and raised his hand to gesture behind him. Two attendants came forward with a plaque covered in cloth. “I planned to give it to you today. It’s just a small token of my appreciation. It’s not a form of respect. It’s just to congratulate you on repairing the residence.”

Bian Guanshi nodded slightly.

Prince Huai was thoughtful, humble, and polite. Unfortunately, his eight characters countered him and were destined to be his nemesis.

The attendant lifted the flannelette curtain covering the plaque, and the plaque with golden words on a red background came into view. It was made of pure solid wood, and the edges were exquisitely carved. It looked heavy and rich in texture.

The inscriptions on the red sandpaper were even sharper and more vigorous. It was truly a work of art.

Prince Huai personally wrote the words. The three big words were the honorific title that the world gave Bian Guanshi.
