"You're also looking for Fourth Brother for something?" Luo Lingyu asked. Lingjiu generally didn't inquire about other matters, only knowing about brewing and drinking wine. She had heard before that Fourth Brother had prepared a vat of wine—could it be because of that?

"It's not me looking for him. I just encountered Father, and he asked me to see if that Fourth Brother kid was around." Lingjiu replied. This response made Luo Lingyu drop her speculation. So it was just looking for someone on behalf of another—that was normal.

"We also want to know when he'll come out of seclusion. Anyway, he's not out yet, and it's not good to disturb him now. What does Father want him for?" Luo Lingyu said.

"It doesn't seem to be Father looking for him either. Apparently the family head wants to find him. Did he cause trouble and get specifically named by the family head?" Lingjiu asked with some confusion.

In their feelings, there was nothing about Xiaoyao worth the family head specifically wanting to find him, so it could only be that he had caused trouble. If it were before, others would think the same way, so others understood Lingjiu's thinking.

"You might be thinking wrong. The family head looking for him might be because he needs his abilities." Luo Lingyu said.

"That can't be right. Looking like that, who would need his abilities? Could it be someone got injured and needs his Divine Farmer True Qi?" Lingjiu wondered. Besides this, she really couldn't think of anything else.

"Hard to say, maybe so." Luo Lingyu responded. "Lingjiu, aren't you planning to report back to Father?"

"Report what? I only promised to come call him, not to go back and tell him." Lingjiu replied, taking out a wine pot and drinking from it.

"..." The three of them, Luo Lingyu, had also expected such a result. Having Lingjiu handle things was never very reliable to begin with.

However, this matter probably wasn't important anyway. Since Xiaoyao hadn't appeared, even reporting back wouldn't be useful. Better to eat first and wait while eating.

Not long after, Third Master stepped into the hall. Seeing Lingjiu eating and drinking, he said irritably: "I knew you girl wouldn't come report back. Sure enough!"

Not long after Lingjiu left, Third Master suddenly remembered Lingjiu's personality and knew that asking Lingjiu was useless. She definitely wouldn't come back to report—he still had to go personally. Now the facts proved his thinking was correct.

"Fourth Brother hasn't come back anyway, so what are you rushing for?" Lingjiu raised her cup to drink. "Father, want a cup? This is good wine."

"All you know is drinking wine all day. You're a girl—how will you marry like this?" Third Master said irritably. But his physical actions made people's jaws drop—he took Lingjiu's wine and started drinking.

"Don't I have you all supporting me? Even if I can't marry, there won't be problems. Besides, I only like drinking and brewing wine, not helping husbands and teaching children." Lingjiu had a look of not wanting to marry and planning to spend her life with wine.

After understanding Lingjiu, Xiaoyao suddenly realized that Third Miss Nangong could be liberated. This Lingjiu would definitely suit the Young Miss's taste. Both loved wine so much—the only difference was that the Young Miss never brewed wine, while Lingjiu's brewing skills were very high. This could even better satisfy the Young Miss's heart.

Anyway, Lingjiu had no plans to marry, so being corrupted by the Young Miss wouldn't be a problem.

"Father, what does the family head want Fourth Brother for?" Luo Lingyu glanced at Lingjiu, then asked Third Master.

"It's still because of Xiaoyao's Divine Farmer's Art. He just blamed me for not telling him about this matter. I was surprised—shouldn't he have known about this long ago?" Third Master said after drinking some wine.

Logically, Xiaoyao should belong to Divine Farmer's Art cultivators. This matter should have been included in the Luo family's intelligence system when confirming his cultivation. But previously no one thought Xiaoyao was a Divine Farmer's Art cultivator—they just considered him an ordinary martial artist and classified him among mid King Level warriors (he was previously mid King Level).

A mid King Level warrior naturally wouldn't attract anyone's attention. He wasn't in his teens—already twenty-one. In the Luo family you could grab a handful of such people; it wasn't anything special.

But changing to a mid King Level Divine Farmer's Art cultivator was completely different. Among all the Luo family's Divine Farmer's Art cultivators, the highest was only at peak King Level—there weren't even any at Emperor Level. And there was only one such person. Even King Level Divine Farmer's Art cultivators could be counted on one hand.

One could imagine that if Xiaoyao were classified as a Divine Farmer's Art cultivator, how much the Luo family would value him. The treatment would be on completely different levels from martial artists.

Also, Xiaoyao was currently only twenty-one. This potential made even the Luo family head excited. Most importantly, Xiaoyao was also a Luo family external surname member—one of their own people. This point was also crucial.

When using people, naturally one's own people were best!

Now the Luo family head also knew that besides being a Divine Farmer's Art cultivator, Xiaoyao also had medical skills. It was precisely because of these medical skills that he learned Xiaoyao cultivated the Divine Farmer's Art—otherwise he still wouldn't know even now.

Medical skills plus the Divine Farmer's Art was originally a very common combination, but medical skills as brilliant as Xiaoyao's level were rare. Adding these two together made his importance even more apparent.

After learning about this situation, the Luo family head immediately had Third Master come over, complaining about how Third Master could be so confused—why didn't he report Xiaoyao's cultivation of the Divine Farmer's Art? Also, why didn't Xiaoyao have the surname Luo? Wasn't he his son?

Regarding this, Third Master was very innocent. Whether reporting this matter or whether Xiaoyao was his son—one was that he didn't know the family head didn't know, while the other was that he couldn't handle this situation.

The Luo family head didn't say much more and quickly specifically requested to see Xiaoyao. Although Third Master said Xiaoyao was recently in seclusion refining pills, the family head still had him go look to see if he had come out of seclusion. Third Master just happened to encounter Lingjiu.

As for Xiaoyao refining pills, the Luo family head wasn't surprised. With such advanced medical skills, he would more or less know pill refining. Some exclusive pills were refined by oneself.

"So that's how it is. Fourth Brother really knows how to stir things up—even the family head has been alarmed by him." Luo Lingyu smiled. Being able to stir things up like this was a good thing—then their family would have more status in the Luo family.

Now with Third Master there weren't problems, but eventually it would be passed to the next generation. In this generation, besides Lingling having martial arts talent, the others didn't. Although they all had some achievements in their respective fields, they couldn't establish deep roots and could easily be shaken by others.

Now with Xiaoyao there, they felt much more at ease. They could even marry with peace of mind—otherwise, previously they wouldn't have dared to have thoughts of marriage.

"Yes, I also didn't expect that they still didn't know. Fourth Brother simply said he cultivated, making people misunderstand he was a martial artist. Martial artists are far from him." Third Master sighed. This time when Xiaoyao came out of seclusion, he definitely had to say a few words.

"Haven't you all noticed that Fourth Brother's actions have always been very low-key? Unless it's time for him to be useful, you don't know what he can do. He probably doesn't want to be too valued by people." Lingjiu hit the nail on the head. Sometimes those who had drunk were true brothers—or rather, brother and sister.

Lingjiu had drunk with Xiaoyao several times. Although they always stopped at just enough and never got drunk, they had still drunk together.

"Originally I thought Fourth Brother didn't take the Luo family identity seriously—asking him to take the surname Luo but he was unwilling. Before I thought he was being arrogant, but now it seems he just doesn't care." Luo Lingyu also joined in discussing Xiaoyao's character.

"Yes, with his level of medical skills plus his Divine Farmer's Art, even among the ten great sects, he would be an important figure." Zhen'er said.

"Speaking of which, if Father hadn't caught him and brought him back, he probably wouldn't necessarily have entered the Luo family." Luo Lingyu suddenly remembered the beginning—Xiaoyao could be said to have been forced back by Third Master.

"This... seems to be the case." Third Master recalled that time—Xiaoyao indeed didn't seem very willing.

"..."

Everyone fell silent, and just at this moment, a voice appeared—

"What's the case?"

Xiaoyao walked in from outside and casually asked.

"We were talking about you. Hey, big brother, you're back! Where are my pills?" Lingling looked at Xiaoyao. At first she didn't react, but quickly she did and directly leaped over the dining table, rushing toward Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao blocked Lingling with his hand and replied: "I've prepared your pills. What's the rush?"

After speaking, Xiaoyao took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Lingling.

"What is this?" Lingling took it and casually opened the bottle, wanting to see what was inside. Although she couldn't tell anyway—pills didn't have names written on them; they all looked the same.

After Lingling opened the bottle, the clear fragrance of the pills immediately filled the entire hall, making everyone feel refreshed just from smelling it.

"Good stuff! What is this?" Everyone could be certain these pills weren't simple, but they didn't know what they actually were. Only Xiaoyao could reveal the answer.

"These are High-Grade Essence Cultivation Pills. They're very suitable for Lingling's cultivation." Xiaoyao replied.

"High-Grade Essence Cultivation Pills? Did you refine these?"

"Yes. Don't ask these boring questions, okay? I told you I know pill refining. Take these to sell." He placed several gourds on the table—large quantities of the same type of pills were generally stored in such gourds.

However, when people generally saw such gourds, they would think the pills inside wouldn't be very precious types.

"Also, these few bottles are for your cultivation use. Although cultivation isn't your main focus, you're still cultivating, and these will help you." Xiaoyao took out several more bottles.

"What are these again?"

"Didn't I just say? High-Grade Essence Cultivation Pills." Xiaoyao replied. Why do you keep asking repeated questions?
