Fangsu had now returned back with the Life's Persimmon and it had also ripened during the journey back which would increase the effectiveness of the medicine. Fangsu went to a nearby clothing shop to buy a veiled hat to his her ash grey hair. However, the small number of people was amazed by the beautiful sheen and silky of the ash grey hair which perfectly framed a beautiful face that was slightly tanned with a light sprinkle of freckles that was barely noticeable and pinkish petal-like lips. This person with unimaginable beauty was a goddess as if this person was personally sculpted but Nuwa herself. But, Fangsu hid behind the veiled hat after buying the hat and quickly left.

Riding through the bustling streets on Tian, Fangsu managed to manoeuvre through the crowds of people. Reaching the crowded Flower Fragrance and the startling was that there was an entire waiting line for people to enter the packed store. An employee who had sunken expression as they were scanning the long line of customers saw Fangsu and their expression brightened exponentially, "Little Boss! Let me take your horse!" The employee took the reins from Fangsu's hand, quickly taking the horse into the backyard while another employee leads Fangsu into the busy store. The customers who were stuck in the long line was in awe at the person who entered the shop easily and the employees were very respectful to the person. Having easy access to the store and having the employees serving the person showed the person was of high regard within the store.

Fangsu was lead into the store by an employee who was making a path for her to enter the stairway to the upper floors. Nodding in appreciation, Fangsu dismisses the employee to continue working. Walking up the long stairway, Fangsu entered the upper floor which was used for the nobility and influential people. The floor was also swamped with many people which would cause problems in the future with the flow of customers. "Little Boss! You have returned!" Bao Ming rushed over to Fangsu taking her by the hand, dragging her into the office, "Your grandpa wants you!" Rushing out the door to continue to serve the hoard of customers in the shop.

Fangsu entered the study where her grandpa was working on the documents for accounting, "You wanted me?" Closing the door to muffle the loud noises from the customers in the store.

Fangsu's grandpa smiled having not seen Fangsu in the past few days due to the Empress's 'request' which was more of a demand rather than a request, "You washed out the dye," The beautiful natural hair colour was always hidden and it was quite a pleasant surprise to see it again, "Your hair is very beautiful, I wish you could show your hair more often." There was an evident sadness in her grandpa's eyes which made Fangsu have complicated feelings about her hair. Taking a lock of hair in her hand, Fangsu stare at her hair colour but instead of being depressed. Smiling at her natural hair colour as she remembered her sisters always said her hair colour was something to be proud of. This reaction was the opposite of what he thought Fangsu would have reacted which surprised him.

Fangsu took a stick of dye from one of the shelves of the study and placed it into her bag, "Grandpa what did you want to talk to me about?" Fangsu's dye was still in the prototype and the only problem was that this type of product was very hard to create and it the dye wouldn't last any longer than 2 weeks before it became crusty. It didn't help that this wasn't Fangsu's expertise.

Her grandpa placed the brush down, "You know that you have caught the attention of people in the royal court because of the Empress," Rummaging through the drawers of the study desk. Pausing at the handle of the drawer, Fangsu's grandpa clenched his fist knowing that the entire court now knows of the Chen family's return. Fangsu's grandpa pulled out a small white jade tablet that faintly glowed in his hand, "This is jade tablet holds all the Chen Family secret techniques from a martial art, plant cultivation but the most important techniques are the spirit arts." Walking towards Fangsu with the tablet in hand. Her grandpa took Fangsu's hand and placed the jade tablet in her hand which glow much more brightly in her hands than in her grandpa's. It immediately begins to dim to the same level of brightness when Fangsu's grandpa held the tablet. Fangsu immediately felt dizzy and faintly to the ground, but her grandpa caught her before hitting the ground. Carrying her granddaughter to a separate room in the study was a small bedroom that was installed during the renovations.
