The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 53

In the Su Ling Teahouse, Cheng Su was making tea in the attic. Recently, she had acquired a new batch of spiritual tea. After careful preparation, she made different tea cakes and was about to test their flavors.

The restaurant's business was booming. The quality of their top-notch spiritual wine was excellent—rich and flavorful, while also replenishing spiritual energy. Many cultivators from the immortal sects passing through Fufeng City would always bring some back, making the business very prosperous.

As for the spiritual tea, only special guests had the privilege of tasting it.

Thinking about this, Cheng Su glanced at the tea cup in her hand and clicked her tongue, "It's been years without a trace, wonder where she's off enjoying herself this time."

Just as she raised the cup to her nose for a sniff, Chun Ming, who should have been busy downstairs, rushed in excitedly, "Master, the owner is here."

Cheng Su quickly put down the cup and stood up, "Where? Where is she?"

Chun Ming's earlier joy dimmed a bit, and she said in a low voice, "The owner brought a few friends, and it seems they're all injured. The owner doesn't look well either."

"You fool, why didn't you bring them in right away? Tell the staff to prepare the private room," Cheng Su's expression changed instantly. She knew of Luo Qingci's abilities, and there weren't many who could hurt her. But with all her ailments, if something triggered them, it would be trouble.

She couldn't help but scold Chun Ming before rushing downstairs herself. As she descended, a familiar and long-missed figure came into view.

That laid-back voice, with a hint of teasing, was just as she remembered.

"It's been a few years, and you've gotten more impatient. Why scold her?"

Cheng Su immediately noticed the bloodless lips and the unnaturally pale half of Luo Qingci's face. Without a word, she grabbed Luo Qingci's wrist.

Luo Qingci didn't resist. As Cheng Su furrowed her brow, she said, "I'm fine, just get me a room so I can rest for a bit."

Only then did Cheng Su let go. She glanced behind Luo Qingci, noticing three young women, one of whom was carrying another person.

"Let's go upstairs."

Without wasting time, Cheng Su led Luo Qingci to the second floor.

"Chun Ming, take these ladies to rest, then go to my room and fetch the healing medicine. Treat the injured girl well," she said, looking at the unconscious Ruan Li, and instructed Chun Ming to lead Su Yu and the others to another room.

Cheng Su then reached out, ready to help Luo Qingci.

Luo Qingci waved her hand, glanced at Ruan Li, and said to Su Yu, "Su Yu, keep an eye on her. When she wakes up, check if anything seems wrong. That thing just now affected her a lot, so be cautious."

Su Yu looked at Ruan Li, her expression complicated, but she nodded seriously, "Senior Chi, hurry and heal yourself. I'll take care of A'Li."

Luo Qingci didn't notice Su Yu's strange expression. She trusted Su Yu to care for Ruan Li, but she could barely hold on herself. The internal cold poison was one thing, but the excruciating pain from her restrictions being triggered was becoming unbearable.

She grabbed Cheng Su's hand with her left hand and pushed open the door with her right, almost stumbling as she walked inside.

Thankfully, Cheng Su caught her.
