As soon as the Taoist boy finished speaking, Qingfeng and the other two came rushing over after hearing the news.

The moment they saw Min Shu clearly, the three of them stopped at the same time.

Mingyue couldn't believe it: "Why didn't my Marrow Cleansing Pill have such a good effect?"

The marrow cleansing pill can remove impurities accumulated in the human body, which will naturally have some impact on a person's appearance.

Basically, after using the Xisui Dan, the skin color will become a little whiter, and some people will even grow a few centimeters taller, such as Jinshui who was in the puberty period when taking the Xisui Dan.

But Mingyue had never seen such a big change as Minshu.

It's not about appearance, but temperament.

After the marrow washing, her appearance did change.

For example, his already fair skin became even whiter, his originally yellow hair ends turned black, and even his height grew by two inches, from being the same height as her to being half a head taller than her.

Each change may seem small, but when combined they make a world of difference.

Min Shu’s temperament used to be cold and aloof, but it didn’t make people feel oppressed or threatened.

At this moment, her temperament was still cool and aloof, but that aloofness had turned into fierceness.

Just an unintentional glance made Mingyue feel a sense of oppression that she dared not look directly at or offend.

Compared to Mingyue who focused all her attention on Min Shu's appearance, Qingfeng noticed that Min Shu's cultivation had improved at the first sight.

If Min Shu gave him the feeling of being an equal before, now she has made him feel a sense of crisis.

There are only a handful of such cultivators in Meng State, and what is more common is a small country with only one national master.

Qingfeng can say that, apart from the National Master, he has never seen anyone with a higher level of cultivation than him.

Now, a person who had just embarked on the path of cultivation for three days easily surpassed him in cultivation.

Qingfeng was so shocked and jealous that he couldn't express it in words.

He was even speechless for a moment: "You..."

However, Min Shu didn't even look at them. Not long after he passed them, he disappeared from their sight.

The uncultivated well water also sensed something was wrong at this moment.

"Why is she walking so fast?"

Qingfeng stared at the place where Minshu disappeared: "She must have something good in her hand."

Mingyue: "What good stuff?"

Qingfeng answered irrelevantly: "Su Qingshu has already reached the third level of Qi Refining."

"what?"

"How can it be?!"

Mingyue and Jinshui's shock naturally could not affect Minshu.

She had already arrived at the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion. As soon as she stepped over the threshold, she heard the Taoist boy at the door ask, "Little Master, do you need a sedan chair?"

When Min Shu turned around, the warriors from the Imperial Master's Mansion had already brought an extra-large sedan chair that was exclusively used by the Imperial Master's Mansion.

The Taoist boy said, "On ordinary days, when the senior brothers go out, they will ride in sedan chairs, so as to avoid being bumped by some ignorant people."

What the Taoist boy said was just realistic.

The Imperial Preceptor holds an extraordinary status in the Meng Kingdom. Everyone in the country wants to become his disciple, especially the young masters and young ladies of high-ranking officials and nobles in Shengjing City.

They certainly didn't dare to stop the Imperial Master, but they didn't have that much respect for the Imperial Master's disciples.

If they were riding in a sedan chair, the sedan chair itself is a symbol of status, and those people would not dare to do anything.

But if you don't take a sedan chair, you will often encounter people who rely on their status to stop you. They won't do anything excessive, most of the time they just want to make friends, but it will definitely waste time and get things done.

Min Shu jumped on the sedan chair and said, "Let's go to the Su family."

When the sedan chair stopped at the gate of the Su Mansion, the Su family had just opened the door to welcome guests.

When they saw the sedan chair from the Imperial Master's Mansion, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over.

The Taoist boy sitting outside stood up and said with great aura: "When you see the Immortal Master, why don't you bow?"

Seeing this, several guests nearby stretched out their hands to bow, but were stopped by Su You, the director of the Imperial College.

Su You said unexpectedly: "Today is your sister's return home, but you are putting on such a show, have you ever thought about what your sister will think?"

Seeing that he acted like a father, the other guests looked at each other, not knowing whether to stand up or kneel down.

Min Shu didn't care whether these outsiders bowed to her or not, but she was determined to sit here and accept Su You's greeting.

The little Taoist boy frowned, "How dare you! Immortals are different. When Junior Master became a disciple of the Imperial Master, he severed his relationship with your Su family. How can you be so rude!"

Su You looked coldly at Min Shu in the sedan chair: "Do you think so too?"

Min Shu said in a light voice: "I'm afraid Su Siye made a mistake. I'm not here today to attend Su Leyao's return banquet, but to get back my mother's dowry and bring back the few elderly people my mother brought as a dowry."

In her previous life, after she entered the Imperial Master’s Mansion, she was trapped in the mansion for more than a month because of the scheming of Qingfeng and others.

When she arrived at the Su family again, the three maids and one housekeeper left to her by her biological mother were either dead or disabled.

Her personal maid also disappeared, and when she was finally found in the marquis's mansion, she had been tortured beyond recognition.

Su Leyao was jealous of her for becoming the Imperial Master's disciple, but she couldn't do anything about it and could only vent all her resentment on the people around her.

She could do all this with the protection and acquiescence of the two masters of the Su family.

Su You was only a sixth-rank official, so he naturally could not buy a mansion near the imperial palace. However, thanks to the dowry from Min Shu's biological mother in this life, he also owned a large house in the alley south of the city.

It is backed by the elegant South City, but two streets ahead is a bustling and prosperous market.

There were people coming and going at this moment, plus it was Su Leyao's return party, so guests came one after another and there was a large crowd of onlookers.

So as soon as Min Shu said this, it instantly caused a lot of discussion.

"I heard that the Su family sent out the invitation this time, using the name of the eldest daughter becoming a disciple of the imperial master. I just saw a lot of officials from the court going in. So, the eldest daughter and the Su family are actually not on good terms?"

"Need I say that? Don't you know that the eldest daughter is not the daughter of the current lady of the Su Mansion?"

"Oh? What's that saying? I've definitely never heard of it."

"I heard that Su Siye was just a poor scholar at first. He just happened to save the eldest daughter of the Chen family, the richest family in the south, who was stopped by robbers at the time. The two became husband and wife, and only then did they have money to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination. But a few years after he passed the exam, his wife passed away, and then Master Su married the current wife."

"That's not a problem, it's normal to remarry after your wife dies."

"Then look at this magnificent mansion. Can Su Siye's salary buy it?"

"You mean... Lord Su used his ex-wife's dowry?"

"Not only that, you haven't seen the second young lady spending a lot of money outside. Her mother is the daughter of an eighth-rank official. Where do you think the money comes from?"

"Is there still such a thing?"

The people around him naturally lowered their voices when talking.

But even this buzzing sound was enough to embarrass Su You, who was standing at the door.

He angrily scolded: "Rebellious girl! You want to cut off ties with your parents right after you got married? This is simply treasonous!"
