Tang Yuewu was taken aback. Suddenly, her tears turned into a smile. She was overjoyed. She pointed at Zhou Yang and said, "Look at how eloquent Grandpa Sima is. If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have fought with you. You can take the Retaining Youth Pill, but I'll remember you."
After glaring fiercely at Zhou Yang, Tang Yuewu passed through the crowd in high spirits. Yuchi Zhenjie also shot a glance at Zhou Yang before following Tang Yuewu.
Zhou Yang frowned. He knew that this matter had only been temporarily suppressed by Si Mayan. With Yuchi Zhenjie's personality, he definitely wouldn't let it go. Moreover, although Tang Yuewu wasn't a bad person, she was still troublesome.
"Anyway, there's enough trouble already. One or two more won't matter."
Shaking his head, Zhou Yang and Si Mayan left the free market. The two of them talked as they walked, and in a short while, they arrived at the Dan Alliance.
"Zhou Yang, you seem to be interested in alchemy, and you cultivate the power of fire. If you have time, why don't you come to the Dan Alliance to see if you have the talent for alchemy?"
Sima Yan said with a smile before they separated.
"Senior, I have the same intention. Once the matters at home are settled, I will come to the Alchemy Alliance to give it a try."
Of course, Zhou Yang was interested in alchemy. This was a respectable and lucrative profession.
After parting with Sima Yan, he and Xiong Kun went to the Starshine Mansion's Gold Bank and withdrew 250,000 Star Jades for Xiong Kun. Although he really wanted Xiong Kun to stay, Xiong Kun wanted to return to his hometown to mourn for two months, so he couldn't do anything about it.
In his chat with Sima Yan, he finally understood why Xiong Kun was ignored by the Dan Alliance. It turned out that Alchemist were ashamed to refine Face Preserving Pill, thinking that this kind of pill was a waste of materials, and their purpose was even more despicable. This was also why there were many Alchemist in the large county city, but there were almost no Face Preserving Pill.
Although there were some accidents in the process of obtaining the Age-retaining Pill this time, it was already great luck.
With the Face Retaining Pill in hand, Zhou Yang was eager to return home. Soon, he arrived at the General's Mansion.
Although it was already night, the General's Mansion was brightly lit. Guards and maids could be seen coming and going.
Although there were many servants in the General's Mansion, very few of them would come out at this time, especially the maidservants. There was only one explanation for this phenomenon.
The Second Madam had returned.
Second Madam Zhao Huan was very ostentatious. Every day, there would be dozens of maids attending to her daily life. If there was even the slightest dissatisfaction, she would be beaten, scolded, or even sentenced to death.
Cheng Qiaoqing and Cheng Feng were clearly frightened by the scene. Even in the Lin Family, they had never seen so many maids and guards.
The three of them did not speak along the way. After arriving at the side courtyard, Zhou Yang let Cheng Qiaoqing and Cheng Feng stay in the wing of the courtyard while he went to his mother's room alone.
When Su Ruohan saw Zhou Yang, she hurriedly covered her face with the veil.
"Why did you come in without knocking?"
Zhou Yang was a little embarrassed. He was too excited just now, so he barged in.
"Mother, I was too violent just now."
"I'm not blaming you for being reckless. I'm just worried that I'll scare you." Su Ruohan shook her head and said lovingly.
"I don't think Mother is ugly. Moreover, Mother is a great beauty." Zhou Yang smiled.
"That was all in the past. Now …" Su Ruohan couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Yang smiled and immediately took out the box containing the Face Retaining Pill. He said, "Mother, this is my gift to you. Take a look."
"Gift …" Su Ruohan was stunned. She immediately opened the box, then covered her mouth and said, "This … is this the Face Retaining Pill?"
"Yes, this is the Face Retaining Pill. I'm also lucky. Otherwise, I would never be able to buy this Face Retaining Pill." Zhou Yang said happily.
Su Ruohan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes when Zhou Yang was not paying attention. She picked up the Face Retaining Pill with trembling hands. After a while, she said, "This should be very expensive. You are in urgent need now …"
"It's not expensive. It's only two hundred thousand." Zhou Yang smiled. As long as he could let his mother take off her veil and see her smile, he would not hesitate even if it was 20 million or 200 million.
Su Ruohan looked at Zhou Yang in shock. Two hundred thousand was easy to say, but with their current situation, it could be said to be an astronomical figure. But when she thought that her son was now a rising star, she was relieved.
"Son, Mother will be proud of you all my life."
Su Ruohan did not argue anymore. She knew her son's character.
Zhou Yang just smiled. All these years, he and his mother depended on each other. Some things did not need to be said, both of them knew.
"Mother, I will leave first. Find a time to take the Face Retaining Pill."
After that, Zhou Yang left the house and went to Cheng Qiaoqing. Now that Cheng Qiaoqing and her brother were people by his side, it was easier to discuss some things with three people than one person.
"Young Master, do you still suspect that the Ye Family wants to set up a new family, so they will secretly harm the general?" Cheng Qiaoqing listened to Zhou Yang's inference and said with some surprise.
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "The Ye Family is a branch of the Zhou Family. If they want to set up a new family, they must go through my father. But how can my father allow the Ye Family to take a lot of resources from the Zhou Family to set up a new family? So they will definitely find a way to harm my father."
Cheng Qiaoqing thought about it and shook her head, "Although the Ye Family has some power in the county, it is no different from a fool's dream to harm the general, unless it is the second madam …"
"I think my sister is right. General Zhou is a Three Stars Dragon General. No one in this county city can harm him. It's impossible to do it openly or secretly. However, it's possible for Second Madam. She's a member of the Zhao family in the imperial city." Cheng Feng said thoughtfully. Although he was only a small character, the identity of the second madam of the General's residence was known to everyone.

"You are right. Zhao Huan is the daughter of Marquis Zhao Wuhou of the Dragonwu Country. Her brother is also a Five Stars Dragon General of the Imperial City. Even the current King has to give them face. Maybe she went to the Imperial City because …"
Speaking of this, Zhou Yang felt that it was unbelievable. Zhao Huan was his father's concubine after all. Why would she harm his father? This did not make sense …
The three of them talked through the night and only left in the middle of the night.
At midnight, the sky was dark and the cold wind was blowing.
A beast's roar suddenly sounded a hundred miles away from the county city. A huge beast with two tiger heads slowly stopped.
On the back of this two-headed tiger sat an eight feet tall middle-aged man.
Not only was this man tall, but his face was cold and resolute as if it was carved by a knife. His blood-red cloak made him look even more domineering.
However, the most eye-catching thing was not this, but the golden battle robe under the cloak.
This battle robe was embroidered with three long dragons. Each dragon was vivid and lifelike. Just a glance at it would make one's soul tremble.
The Imperial Bestowal, the Three Dragons Battle Robe!
"General, the county city is a hundred miles away. You will be home soon." A middle-aged man in silver armor cupped his fists and said.
"I am not going back to the general's residence." The middle-aged man's eyes were cold and his voice was even more shocking.
"Then?" The soldiers below were confused.
"Rest for an hour. We will go to General Guo's training field. Also, send a message to Guo Zhanxiong. Tell him to prepare. Tomorrow, I will be testing my sons."
The middle-aged man smiled when he mentioned his sons.
