Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 313 That Person is Pretty Nice
Fang Ce had been busy in the academy for a day. He had finally finished compiling the list of students who were still alive in various cities. The academy had also discussed a new strategy to deal with the upcoming civil service examination in Jizhou Prefecture, and had also reported it to Xuelin Academy. This year, Jizhou Prefecture would make many adjustments compared to previous years.

These are all big things. The sooner they can be done, the sooner Fang Ce will feel at peace.

When he got home, nothing seemed different from usual. But Fang Ce noticed something unusual in the conversations between the servants and his wife. But he didn't ask. Pretending not to know, the family had dinner, and Fang Ce thought to himself that he was called to the backyard by his wife as expected.

"Is there something going on at home that is being hidden from me and Yuan'er today?" As husband and wife for a lifetime, Fang Ce knows his wife too well.

"Yang Qian came home today."

"Hmm? Yang Qian?"

"He must have deliberately waited until you and Yuan'er were not at home. Tsk, this kid really has some vision."

Fang Ce sighed and asked in confusion, "He chose to come when Yuan'er and I were not around. Does that mean he came to see you on purpose? How can you tell that he has good taste?"

"This shows that Yang Qian can tell who is the boss in our family!"

Fang Ce was speechless when he heard this. Sometimes the words this old woman said could really make people angry to death.

"This is the first time I've seen this young man. I didn't expect him to be so handsome and polite. His speech and behavior are completely different from those warriors I have seen. He looks more like a student in your academy.

No, he is better than those students of yours. He speaks neither humbly nor arrogantly, and he is very good at talking. He can always make you feel good.

Tsk tsk, no wonder our daughter is so beautiful that she won't let go of him."

The more Fang Ce listened, the more he felt that there was something wrong with what his wife said.

"No, I want to ask you what's wrong with you? Before, you kept calling him "Yang Qian", saying that you didn't agree with this marriage, and you even said that you would go and persuade Yuan'er to find another good match. Why? Yang Qian came here, and you changed your attitude. Did you accept any benefits from him? You don't even want your daughter anymore?"

"Puh, puh, puh! Mr. Fang, can you speak with your stinky mouth? What do you mean you change after receiving benefits from others?
You make me sound like I'm selling my daughter. You have such a vicious tongue!

Look, what is this? "

Fang Ce saw his old wife pouting and rolling her eyes at him, while she took out a rather exquisite copper box, put it on the table and pushed it in front of him.

Fang Ce opened the box curiously and found a jade bottle inside. He took it out and opened the cork. Immediately, a refreshing fragrance wafted out of the jade bottle.

Surprised, Fang Ce shook the jade bottle and found that it was not liquid, so he poured out the contents of the bottle and found that it was actually three small beads that were slightly larger than peas. The fragrance was even stronger, and even after smelling it for a short while, he felt clear-headed and slightly comfortable.

In addition, the surface of these three small beads is shining, which makes this object look even more magical.

"Could this be the elixir?!" Fang Ce thought of a possibility. After all, this thing was sent by Yang Qian, and Yang Qian was a serious immortal master who was said to have a high level of cultivation, which also made it possible for such a magical thing as elixir to come into being.

"It's called the 'White Jade Pill'. One pill can strengthen your body and eliminate old diseases. As long as the disease is not fatal, this pill can directly eliminate it or greatly improve it. Lao Fang, have you heard of this thing?"

When Fang Ce heard what his wife said, his hands trembled, and he quickly put the three pills back into the jade bottle. He took another deep breath of the pleasant aroma before tightly plugging the cork in. "I've heard that the White Jade Pill is what the immortals call it, and our country calls it "Hundred-Year Pill". It is said that taking one pill of this kind of pill can make you live a hundred years. It is most suitable for some elderly people to take, and the effect can be said to be immediate!

Yang Qian gave it to you?"

He added one more sentence at the end, and it was obvious that Fang Ce was still a little bit unbelievable.

This is the elixir!
The reputation of the White Jade Pill is not small in the secular world. For monks, it is considered as conditioning, and for ordinary people, it is equivalent to prolonging life. The value of this pill cannot be measured by money or anything else.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the aristocratic families have treasures that are hard to come by. The Fang family is an honest family that relies on poetry and literature to survive and has almost no power. Fang Ce never dreamed that there would be treasures like elixirs in their family.

And there were three of them at once?!

After a while, Fang Ce finally calmed down. Glancing at his smiling wife, Fang Ce thought for a moment and asked, "What did Yang Qian say when he came home? He gave such a generous gift, is he going to propose marriage himself?"

"Old Fang, you guessed wrong. Yang Qian did not come here to propose marriage. He said that according to the rules, it would be impolite for him to come here to propose marriage. And it was too early. So he came here to confess his relationship with our Yuan'er and hope to get our consent. Secondly, he also wanted to make clear his future plans.

Yang Qian said that these three pills were a gift to the elders. It has nothing to do with the betrothal gift."

Fang Ce listened carefully, and only when he heard that he was not here to propose marriage did his expression improve. Then, after hearing the rest of the conversation, he secretly thought that Yang Qian was indeed a real man, and that he was upright and honest in every move, and that he was open and honest.

When he heard that Yang Qian's destination had been decided, Fang Ce frowned again.

"Want to go to Shuangqing Prefecture? Serving as the prefectural chief constable, with a hundred imperial guards as a personal guard? With special powers to arrest people? This..."

"Lao Fang, is there something wrong?"

"It's indeed wrong. Yang Qian's title and destination seemed to be humiliated by those noble families when he went to Shuangqing Prefecture. The one hundred imperial city guards and the special arrest authority behind Dan are extraordinary things, given directly by His Majesty!
Since Your Majesty has given Yang Qian such great support and guarantees, and even openly supported Yang Qian, why did he still watch Yang Qian go to Shuangqing Prefecture?
Maybe there is something else going on?"

"I also raised the question of longevity. Yang Qian told me not to worry about it. Although he couldn't guarantee longevity, he had a way to prevent aging from affecting Yuan'er. His tone was so firm that I didn't know how to respond to him.

Lao Fang, is there a way among the monks to prevent people from aging?"

Fang Ce nodded. This time it was his wife's turn to gasp in surprise and disbelief.

Fang Ce continued, "Legend has it that there is a pill that can keep a person young forever. However, this kind of pill is extremely difficult to obtain in the immortal sect. I wonder if Yang Qian is planning to take this approach. Perhaps this is also a hint that he sent the pill today?"

"If it's true, then Yang Qian's sincerity is indeed enough. Lao Fang, do you think we can stop Yuan'er?"

"Stop? Don't you think that person is a good guy? How can you stop him?"
