Chapter 104 Unexpected Pregnancy

From today on, Li An officially lived in Song Mingzhang's house.

He began to study day and night, getting up early and going to bed late, and was tireless.

Although the two of them were not in the name of master and apprentice, Song Mingzhang gave Li An a lot of advice. Whether it was true or false, Li An did learn a lot from Song Mingzhang and was very respectful.

…

In the blink of an eye, five years passed.

In five years, Li An hardly went out except for reading.

It was not "pretending", but he really immersed himself in it.

In the eight years before and after, he really developed the habit of reading.

Moreover, as his knowledge became richer and his level became higher, he really had a feeling... that his previous life was full of hard work, which was really problematic.

Even though he was a golden elixir, he had many gaps in knowledge, which were now being filled one by one.

After all, the treasure appraiser of the Treasure Pavilion required a person with rich knowledge and broad vision.

That evening, Song Mingzhang returned home from the Treasure Pavilion. The maids in the mansion had prepared dinner. Li An, who was reading in the study, was reminded by the maids that it was time to eat, so he walked out of the study.

In the past five years, the maids in the mansion have become accustomed to Li An's presence. In a sense, they also regard Li An as a member of the place and are very polite and respectful.

Only Song Mingzhang and Li An were at the dinner table.

Song Anning's meal was sent to her room. She had never eaten with Li An before - after all, she needed to take off her veil when eating.

Although her "Yin Ulcers" disease was cured, the sequelae were difficult to clean up. It is very likely that the scars and pits on her skin will be difficult to recover in this life.

Unless she can successfully build a foundation, she can then use her great cultivation to reform herself.

As usual, Li An told Song Mingzhang what he had gained today, and Song Mingzhang nodded continuously.

He was getting more and more satisfied with Li An.

First, Li An has been studying hard for five years without any slackness or asking about the outside world, which makes him believe that Li An is a pure-hearted person.

Second, Li An is a profound reader. When the two of them talk on weekdays, Song Mingzhang can often get inspiration from Li An and often feel that he can go further, which is also very important to him.

"Senior, do you have any worries today?"

Li An asked.

He noticed that Song Mingzhang was not in a good mood today and seemed worried.

Song Mingzhang sighed deeply, looked at Li An, and finally said:

"Today, the Pavilion Master came to us old guys and said a lot... Hey, the deadline is approaching, and the sun is setting!"

There seemed to be some self-pity in his eyes:

"Zuo Wen, I have a smooth life and no regrets. The only worry is my granddaughter's peace."

"She has never been involved in the world, rarely goes out, and has been tortured by the disease of Yin Ulcers... If I die in a few years, who can she rely on?"

Li An couldn't help but say seriously: "Senior, don't worry too much. You are a long-lived man, and you won't be in such a hurry. Even if you really die in the future, she can live well with your connections in the city."

"Zuo Wen will also do his best to protect the young lady."

Song Mingzhang nodded with relief. This is what he wanted.

Back then, when he accepted Li An, one reason was to cherish his talent, and the other was to ask for something.

Although Li An is already 100 years old this year, he still has at least 100 years to live based on his cultivation in the early stage of foundation building!

His granddaughter has poor aptitude and is delayed by illness, so it is difficult for her to build a foundation in this lifetime.

Song An Ning is now in her early 30s, and her life expectancy is estimated to be less than 200 years.

Li An can almost protect Song An Ning for her whole life!

As for other connections, Song Mingzhang is also very clear that people will be forgotten after he dies. If Song An Ning really needs anything, they will at most help her with one or two small favors, and will not give anything to Song An Ning anymore.

Connections are all about mutual contribution and exchange of interests.

This is the most important purpose of his training Li An.

"By the way, senior, Zuo Wen has recently thought of a way that may be able to cure Miss An Ning's facial disease..."

Li An spoke at the right time.

In fact, when he met Song An Ning five years ago, he already had a way in mind.

But he only said it today.

First, if he showed this ability too early, Song Mingzhang would doubt him. In the past five years, he tried to make various medicines from time to time to pave the way for today.

Second, he was also worried that if he cured Song Anning too early, Song Mingzhang would definitely find a good family for her to marry. At that time, when Song Mingzhang considered recommending treasure appraisers in the future, the extra husband's family would naturally be the first choice. What would Li An, an outsider, count for?

Now Song Mingzhang's life span should only be four or five years, so it's his last wish.

And he noticed that Song Mingzhang had the intention of "entrusting his orphan to him", so he added fuel to the fire.

"Oh? Can you restore her appearance?!"

Song Mingzhang was a little excited.

Low-level female cultivators are similar to secular women in a sense. The most important thing is the face!

Song Anning's rough face is also destined to have a rough life.

If it can be changed... it would be the best.

"If you trust me, I will prepare tomorrow and give it a try for Miss An Ning!"

...

The next day.

Li An went out and bought a lot of things.

In the evening, Song Mingzhang and Li An entered Song An Ning's boudoir together.

"Mr. Zuo, can my face really recover?"

Song An Ning looked at him excitedly.

"It should be possible. Please rest assured, Miss. Zuo Wen will do his best--"

Song An Ning nodded, and then gently took off the veil.

It was the first time she "showed her face" in front of Li An, and she lowered her head subconsciously.

But Li An's face did not fluctuate at all, and he began to prepare medicinal materials.

Crushed various medicinal materials, added spiritual liquid and spiritual soil, and stirred them evenly to form a sticky paste.

Song An Ning lay down, and Li An grabbed the paste and slowly applied it on her face.

It looked like a facial mask!

But, in these medicinal materials, Li An quietly injected a trace of his life seed spiritual power.

After applying the ointment for four hours, Song An Ning got up to wash her face.

While she was washing her face, Song Mingzhang and several maids beside her exclaimed!

"So beautiful, so beautiful!"

"Miss is so beautiful!"

Even Song Mingzhang was excited: "An Ning, An Ning!"

Song An Ning couldn't help but tremble when she heard everyone so excited. She took the mirror handed over by the maid and saw a fair face in the mirror.

She held the mirror tightly, and tears couldn't help flowing down her beautiful eyes.

Her original face was like a pomegranate peel turned over and a nailed shoe stepped on mud, a big piece of hemp skin!

But now, although there are still many pits and spots that have not been removed, compared with the original, it is a world of difference.

Her beauty embryo has been initially revealed.

"Zuo Wen... Thank you!"

Song Mingzhang grabbed Li An's hand and was very excited.

...

Next, Li An carefully helped Song An Ning prepare the medicine.

The first effect was obvious, but the subsequent nourishment was much slower.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye.

Under Li An's careful care, Song An Ning completely became a beautiful woman with a beautiful demeanor.

Before, she was reluctant to go out and see people, and stayed in the boudoir, but recently she has been keen on "socializing".

She is the granddaughter of Song Mingzhang, and now she is radiant, so she soon had a lot of fun with some young people of the same status in the city.

She went to the long street to buy watercolors during the day and took a boat to enjoy the wind and moon at night.

She often returned late at night.

Song Mingzhang doted on her very much, so he didn't care much and let her play as she pleased.

Li An was indifferent. He knew that Song An Ning had been afraid to go out with a rotten face during her most beautiful time. Now it was a kind of "retaliatory compensation", which was also normal.

However, when he occasionally went out, he would hear some rumors. He heard that many playboys in the city were jealous of Song An Ning.

No one dared to pass on this news to Song Mingzhang.

Li An carefully inquired and observed that this matter should be true, and those playboys' scramble to pursue her made Song Anning very proud and happy.

He sighed slightly, but did not care much.

…

Since Song Anning's face improved, Song Mingzhang has been much happier, and recently he has even been planning a marriage for Song Anning.

During this period, many people came to propose marriage, especially some young people in the Treasure Pavilion.

But Song Mingzhang was quite skeptical and rejected them one by one.

He could see that those people did not really like Song Anning, but came for him, and they were very anxious.

Song Mingzhang's deadline was approaching, and he only had two or five years left to live. He became more and more anxious about this matter, and in the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed.

At this time, something happened that neither Li An nor Song Mingzhang expected-

Song Anning... accidentally became pregnant.
