From the moment he said those words, the emperor knew that they must want to leave. Hearing him say that, he was not surprised at all, and just nodded: "I know."
He looked at Pan Ning and said, "Take them back!"
"Yes." Pan Ning responded, bowed, and then left with Hao'er and the other two.
After watching them leave and disappear from sight, the emperor looked at the two bottles in his hands and sighed, "I didn't expect that on this day, I would not only meet a demon, but also a fairy, and even get two precious pills."
The old man stood quietly by the side without saying anything, because he knew that the emperor didn't need him to say anything.
Pan Ning put the secret decree in his arms and walked all the way, feeling his steps were light and fluttery. Only when he left the palace and got on the Pan family's carriage and headed back did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He looked at the three children, stood up and bowed to them. He had a thousand words to say, but in the end, they just came down to one sentence: "Thank you."
Haoer supported him and said, "No need to do this, we are just repaying a favor."
The carriage went all the way to Pan's house. Pan Ning sent the three children back to the South Courtyard first, then hurriedly ran to find his grandfather, father and eldest brother and told them what had happened.
In the Pan family's study, listening to what Pan Ning said and looking at the imperial edict spread out in front of them, the masters of the Pan family were so shocked that they were speechless.
“They actually obtained such an imperial edict for them, this, this…” The Pan family’s ancestor looked at the imperial edict in shock, with indescribable gratitude and disbelief in his heart.
"I didn't expect that they were actually immortals. It's such a blessing for our Pan family!" Pan's father said excitedly.
Even Pan Hong, who was always calm, was shocked when he saw the imperial edict. This imperial edict was a precious treasure to the Pan family. It was a great favor to ensure that three generations of the Pan family would be free from worries.
"Listen."
The Pan family patriarch put away his shocked expression, took a deep breath, looked at them, and said, "Apart from us, no one else can tell about what happened today, not even your wives and children, lest any trouble arise out of nowhere. This imperial edict must be carefully kept and passed down from generation to generation."
"Yes, we do."
Several people responded, knowing that this matter was not a big deal. The emperor was in power and had great grace and protection, so they did not need this imperial edict. However, the next emperor after a hundred years might not be willing to tolerate the Pan family. If that happened, this imperial edict would be a treasure to protect the lives of the Pan family. For such a matter, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
"Put the imperial edict in the secret compartment, and we will go to thank them." said the ancestor of the Pan family.
"Okay." They responded, put away the imperial edict, and went to the South Courtyard together.
At this time, in the South Courtyard, three children were counting treasures in their room with the door closed.
The golden toad monster died, and the treasures hidden by the golden toad monster naturally fell into their hands.
"Brother, what can the inner elixir of this golden toad monster be used for?" Yue'er asked, holding a bead with a faint golden light in her hand.
"The inner elixir of this golden toad monster has the effect of detoxifying. If you take a bowl of clean water and soak these beads in the clean water, the water will be able to detoxify." Hao'er said as he sorted the treasures.
