Deng family villa, in an antique and brightly lit study.

A black-clad elderly man in traditional Chinese attire sat on a soft sofa, reading a book.

The elder had a kindly demeanor, but it was not hard to detect an air of authority within his kindness.

This air of authority was merely obscured by his gentleness.

This kindly elder was none other than Master Deng of the Deng family, Deng Fangzhen.

Deng Ziyu, donned in pink pajamas, also sat beside her grandfather, reading a book.

"Ziyu, the Wu family boy you told me about last night intended to harm you. How do you want Grandpa to deal with him?" Master Deng said while keeping his gaze on the book.

"Grandpa, it's not necessary. He won't dare approach me again," Deng Ziyu replied nonchalantly to her grandfather.

Master Deng's gaze lifted from the book, looking at Deng Ziyu, with a slight frown.

His precious granddaughter seemed a bit different tonight.

Her eyes were bright, and her lips subtly curved into a smile.

He knew very well that last night, Deng Ziyu returned home looking distressed, demanding revenge.

Deng Fangzhen, upon learning that his granddaughter was almost defiled by Wu Yuqing, was furious and nearly ordered the Deng family's experts to seek justice from the Wu family overnight.

However, as the patriarch of one of the Six Great Families in the Capital City, he had weathered countless storms.

Furthermore, he knew the inside story of the Wu family, aware of their uncommon relationship with the Duan family, the head of the Six Great Families.

The Deng family could easily crush the Wu family, but Marquis Wuying, no matter how you put it, was still among the top ten experts in the Capital City, and then there was the Duan family.

This forced Deng Fangzhen to consider the cost involved.

Of course, swallowing this and pretending nothing happened was impossible for him.

He waited for the Wu family to come and apologize.

What he didn't expect, however, was that Deng Ziyu, who last night demanded the extermination of the Wu family, would now no longer seek revenge.

"Are you sure you don't want revenge anymore?" Master Deng couldn't help but ask Deng Ziyu.

Deng Ziyu nodded: "No need, this matter is already in the past."

Recalling how Lin Fei had beaten Wu Yuqing today and warned him not to have any designs on her again.

Deng Ziyu's mind conjured up the figure of Lin Fei, and a smile inadvertently appeared on her mouth.

Master Deng couldn't believe his eyes, seeing his granddaughter smiling foolishly. As an experienced man, he immediately thought, does Ziyu seem like she's in love?

"Ziyu, what is the name of the classmate who saved you last night?" Master Deng asked Deng Ziyu.

"Li Fei." Deng Ziyu's eyes sparkled as she replied to Master Deng.

Master Deng said, "Find a time to bring him over for a visit. He saved my granddaughter; I must thank him properly."

"Got it, Grandpa," Deng Ziyu said with a smile on her face.

Master Deng thought: It seems this Li Fei is quite significant to Ziyu.

This was the first time he saw Deng Ziyu willing to bring a young man home, and moreover, she was so happy about it.

In the past, he had invited some notable young men for Deng Ziyu to meet, but she refused to see them all.

And Deng Ziyu had never brought a boy home before either.

This made Master Deng very curious about what kind of young man this Li Fei was.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit came to the study and said to Master Deng, "Master, Marquis Wuying requests to see you."

Master Deng smiled coldly: "That old fellow has finally come to apologize. Let him in!"

"Yes, Master." The middle-aged man complied and left the room.

Master Deng looked at Deng Ziyu and said, "Ziyu, what do you want from the Wu family?"

Deng Ziyu thought for a moment and said: "Grandpa, I only have one request, and that is for the Wu family not to trouble Li Fei anymore."

"Just that simple?" Master Deng said.

"Yes." Deng Ziyu closed her book, placed it on the table, and said to her grandfather: "I don't want to see the Wu family people, I will head back to my room first."

Master Deng nodded.

After Deng Ziyu left the study, the middle-aged steward brought in the cloaked Marquis Wuying.

"Steward, you may leave first." Master Deng said to the steward.

"Yes, Master." The steward exited the study.

The study now had only Master Deng and Marquis Wuying, clad in a black cloak.

Marquis Wuying slowly lifted his head, and with a cold gleam in his eyes under the cloak, looked at Master Deng and said: "Deng Fangzhen, I've heard from Yun Ci, my incompetent grandson offended your granddaughter, and I come to offer my apologies."

Saying this, Marquis Wuying, still in his cloak, bowed to Master Deng with hands folded.

"Marquis Wuying, are you aware that your grandson nearly destroyed my granddaughter's reputation?" Master Deng's face displayed his full authority, exuding a majestic aura of a powerful figure.

"Do you think a simple apology suffices?"

Marquis Wuying raised his head and said to Deng Fangzhen: "What do you want me to do? Just say it."

"One, your grandson must never approach my granddaughter again; two, Li Fei, who saved my granddaughter, is a benefactor of the Deng family, and you must not bother him; three, I've heard your Wu family has a secret ancestral elixir, and I want a few pills."

Deng Fangzhen looked at Marquis Wuying and said.

Marquis Wuying said: "You are talking about the Dragon Saliva Pill from our Wu family? This item is a treasure of our Wu family, exceedingly difficult to refine, with every pill given away being one less."

"Marquis Wuying, your grandson nearly ruined my granddaughter's purity, am I to think the Deng family is so easily bullied?" Deng Fangzhen's eyes blazed with anger as he spoke fiercely to Marquis Wuying.

Seemingly prepared to clash with Marquis Wuying if words were not exchanged amicably.

Marquis Wuying didn't want to engage in a life-and-death battle with Deng Fangzhen.

"Fine, I admit I was at fault first for this matter, but the Dragon Saliva Pill is our Wu family's priceless treasure. It can extend lifespan, revive the dead, and regenerate flesh, and even we are reluctant to use it. Moreover, its quantity is extremely limited, so I can only give you three pills."

Saying this, Marquis Wuying took out a jade bottle from his robe and extended it towards Deng Fangzhen.

Deng Fangzhen accepted the jade bottle, a flash of joy flickering deep in his eyes.

Then, he pulled out the bottle's plug and poured out two pills into his palm.

Immediately, a peculiar and rich medicinal fragrance filled the study.

Deng Fangzhen recognized it as the Dragon's Saliva Fragrance.

Knowing the elixir wasn't fake, he returned the pills to the jade bottle.

"Marquis Wuying, I'll let this matter go without further ado. You may leave!" Deng Fangzhen said as he looked at Marquis Wuying.

"Many thanks, Brother Deng, I shall take my leave then." Marquis Wuying nodded his head with his hands cupped as he left.

However, Deng Fangzhen was unaware that the moment Marquis Wuying turned to walk out the door, a sinister and cunning glint flashed in his eyes under the black cloak.

After Marquis Wuying left, Deng Fangzhen appeared excited and muttered to himself, "If it weren't for Marquis Wuying's grandson causing trouble, making the Wu family feel guilty, there was no way I could have obtained the Wu family's treasure, the Dragon Saliva Pill. Now Old Chen can be saved!"
