Chapter 34 - 040: Setting up the stage

I took out the 5% vitality potion bottle and carefully poured its contents into a tea cup.

Setting the glowing cup on the table between us, I watched Grandfather's reaction.

"Yuan'er, what is that?" His eyes fixed on the faint green luminescence emanating from the cup, his nose catching the pleasant tea aroma. "That's not ordinary tea."

I looked at Mo Fan and Mo Ling, who are playing with their new storage pouches in the hall with some distance between us.

Good.

"This is medicinal tea I prepared using spirit herbs," I began, choosing my words carefully.

"Do you remember when the envoy visited the village previously after my spirit root testing? She then asked me to take a test and I passed her expectations, she asked if there was anything I needed as acknowledgment of my performance."

Grandfather's brow furrowed slightly, listening intently.

"I told her about your condition like the old injuries that never healed properly. She seemed... understanding. Said she would arrange for appropriate medicine to be delivered."

I met his eyes directly, letting him see the sincerity in my gaze.

"Let me do this. Please."

For a long moment, silence stretched between us, heavy with unspoken emotions, years of shared hardship, and quiet caring.

Then, slowly, I watched his resistance crumble like walls worn down by relentless waves.

"You foolish child," he said, his voice rough and thick with emotion. "Always so stubborn. Just like your father was."

His trembling hands reached out and lifted the cup with careful reverence.

"If you insist so strongly... then this old man won't refuse his grandson's filial piety."

He brought the cup to his lips and drank deeply, draining it in several long swallows.

The effect was immediate.
