Actually, he had this idea before, but he hadn't figured out exactly how to express his gratitude.

For people in the Ancient Martial World, treating someone to a meal seems too mundane; that's a typical way of showing thanks in the Secular World.

Oh right, just at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. Didn't he just bring back some herbs from the Myriad Medicine Pavilion before going to the Lishan Sect?

These past days, he had been focusing mainly on cultivation and comprehending divine skills, so he hadn't had the chance to refine them yet, as it wasn't an urgent matter!

Why not refine them successfully and send some elixirs over?

For these two heavenly beauties, what could be more suitable than sending elixirs?

...

With that in mind, he went ahead and did it. He directly went to a storage room in the innermost part of the backyard and started refining elixirs!

This time, Su Chen planned to refine an elixir similar to the Peiyuan Pill. The reason he wasn't refining the Peiyuan Pill was that he wanted to make various kinds of elixirs; wouldn't that be beneficial for improving his alchemy skills?

Because it was his first time refining this kind of elixir, Su Chen still spent two days on it.

The main reason wasn't that the elixir was difficult to refine, but because Su Chen liked to think while refining.

In this way, the time spent was a bit longer!

Finally, on the third day, he successfully refined thirty to forty elixirs!

So he put ten pills into each of two small elixir bottles, preparing to send them to Qin Nishang and Dugu Mingyue.

As for the people in the manor, it was fine if there were fewer this time; after all, he could refine more at any time.

...

But then he remembered, Qin Nishang mentioned when they parted that she would return to the Qin Family for a few days to handle some matters and wasn't in Yandu these days.

Su Chen then planned to first deliver Dugu Mingyue's share. He picked up one of the elixir bottles and drove towards Yun Ya Residence.

As for Hua Qingyang's warning, he couldn't care less. Did he really think he was that formidable?

More than half an hour later, when Su Chen arrived at Yun Ya Residence, a maid immediately went in to report.

A few minutes later, the maid returned and led him inside, naturally to the little wooden house from last time.

"Mr. Su, why have you come today? Is there something you need?"

After Su Chen sat down, Dugu Mingyue asked with a gentle smile.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen took out a small elixir bottle and smiled:

"These are elixirs I concocted myself. I brought some over as a small token of gratitude. Thank you for your help the other day, Miss Dugu."

"Mr. Su knows how to refine elixirs too?"

Dugu Mingyue's initial reaction was the same as Qin Nishang's; upon hearing this, a trace of surprise appeared on her stunning face!

"Just a bit of superficial knowledge."

Su Chen replied modestly for once.

However, if the people from the alchemy factions heard this, they'd probably faint out of anger!

If what you have is superficial knowledge, then what about us?

"But I didn't actually help at all, so let's just forget about it."

Dugu Mingyue said with a slight smile.

"Miss Dugu, that's not correct. Whether or not you could help is the outcome, but the willingness to help is what counts, so I must insist that you accept it, Miss Dugu."

"You really want me to accept it?"

Dugu Mingyue glanced at Su Chen and said with a smile.

"Of course, if you don't accept it, I would feel even more embarrassed."

Su Chen said sincerely.

"Well, alright then, I will accept it."

Hearing this, Dugu Mingyue nodded slightly.

She casually opened it to take a look and found that the elixir had a rich potency.

Although she wasn't an alchemist and couldn't determine the grade of the elixir, it seemed pretty good, which surprised her even more.

Of course, her personality was very calm, so although she was shocked, it was only for a moment!

The two then casually chatted. They had met several times by now and were considered familiar, so the conversation went well.

"By the way, Miss Dugu, why did you agree to help me so readily last time?"

Su Chen asked curiously. He had also heard from Qin Nishang about her personality, and he trusted Qin Nishang's description, not to mention he felt the same himself.

It was as if there was nothing that really concerned her; she seemed indifferent to everything, more like a fairy who didn't partake in worldly affairs!

"I wanted to!"

Dugu Mingyue answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Su Chen couldn't find any fault with this answer, yet it provided him with no useful information!

However, he once again felt that this woman with an exceptional aura was indeed special!

Of course, hearing her say "I wanted to" made Su Chen quite happy!

After all, men sometimes have a sense of vanity too!

After chatting with Dugu Mingyue for a while longer, Su Chen left...

...

Meanwhile, in that top-tier mansion in Yandu!

Hua Qingyang's face was as dark as water, and a chilling murderous intent emanated from him, causing the entire room's temperature to drop sharply!

The man standing in front of him was trembling uncontrollably, yet he tried hard to restrain himself!

"It seems this guy disregarded my warning!"

Hua Qingyang's handsome face twisted slightly as he gritted his teeth and said:

"Since you wish to die, I'll make it happen!"

He thought that guy was just pretending to be brave that day and wouldn't dare contact Dugu Mingyue afterward!

But unexpectedly, that young man actually dared!

The true reason for his anger wasn't actually this, but Dugu Mingyue!

Even though Dugu Mingyue's attitude towards him was slightly different from others', it was because they knew each other from childhood, and their factions had a decent relationship!

Dugu Mingyue, though indifferent and aloof, was still a member of the Tianyin Palace, so as long as it didn't affect her mood, she would occasionally see him!

However, he could sense that Dugu Mingyue's attitude towards that stranger was different!

The mere fact that she took the initiative to invite Su Chen into her little wooden house to chat was indicative; if it were someone else, even him, it would never have happened!

So, he wasn't being irrational or overly sensitive!

Because he understood what certain things signified!

This is the real reason he was angry and why he warned that man!

From this point of view, it's because Su Chen didn't understand Dugu Mingyue that he found this man's actions inexplicable!

...

After leaving Yun Ya Residence, Su Chen drove back to Yuquan Mountain Manor. Naturally, he was unaware that his visit to Yun Ya Residence had incited murderous intent from Hua Qingyang, the top prodigy of the Ancient Martial World!

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He certainly wouldn't change his actions because of that so-called number one prodigy?!

Wouldn't that be too ridiculous?

Su Chen always acted according to his own principles, and this was something not even that so-called prodigy, nor anyone else, could change!
