I cultivate the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir Dao on Earth

"...So everything you said was true."

Yang Ruixing stood there and said to Jiang Songjing with mixed feelings.

Yang Wanyi, standing beside her, remained expressionless with a cold face.

She merely snorted coldly, then walked away from the two of them, her figure disappearing into the elevator at the end of the corridor.

Yang Ruixing glanced at her back.

At this moment, he no longer had the same temper towards Yang Wanyi as he had at the beginning.

Yang Ruixing sighed softly:

"...You just heard our family story. My younger sister is a bit of a princess and gets angry easily...but you can't say it's her nature; it's ultimately due to family factors during her childhood."

Jiang Songjing smiled but did not respond.

He remained standing at the door, staring at the tightly closed ward door, deep in thought.

Since the driver and bodyguard, Uncle Shan, was left in the ward, there's now an outsider there. Presumably, the room will be opened again someday.

At this moment, Jiang Songjing was already filled with deep suspicion and disgust towards the entire garden.

No matter what the old man's schemes were or what kind of game he had set up, he didn't want to get involved.

So he had made up his mind that as soon as he got information about his mother, he would leave immediately!

He will never again participate in anything related to the Yang family or Ying Manyuan.

...Then, he found a place and waited until he could sense the spiritual energy surging in the world before he began to cultivate formally!

Seeing his behavior, Yang Ruixing guessed what was wrong with him and comforted him:

"River……"

He uttered the word "Jiang," but hesitated at that moment, unsure whether to address the other person as "younger brother" or something else.

Jiang Songjing glanced at him sideways and said calmly:

"Just call me Abbot."

However, Jiang Songjing was taken aback when she said this.

The words he had just spoken, both in tone and content, seemed familiar; he felt as if he had heard similar words somewhere before.

Before he could think about it carefully, Yang Ruixing nodded:

"Alright, Abbot Jiang, I think you don't need to rush."

Now that Jiang Songjing has demonstrated through his actions that he has no intention of fighting for the inheritance, Yang Ruixing has naturally lost his hostility towards him. On the contrary, he admires the young man and even has the desire to befriend him.

If it were just a few days ago, before we met...

At that time, Yang Ruixing's fear and disgust for this illegitimate child were no less than Yang Wanyi's!

If the other party wanted to see his father less often, Yang Ruixing would be more than happy to do so.

But now that things have come to this, seeing how proud the other party is, Yang Ruixing turned around and tried to ease the tension between Jiang Songjing and her father.

...He himself found these thoughts to be quite complex.

Yang Ruixing felt a mix of emotions and pondered for a moment before saying:

"Since Father has already said two days, then you can come to see him again after two days."

"I know you don't want to stay at our place for the next couple of days... How about this, there's a six-star hotel near the hospital, and I happen to have a suite there that I keep on standby."

"Why don't you rest inside for a couple of days?"

"I……"

Jiang Songjing was about to refuse.

But at that moment, his eyes changed, and in an instant, an unusual aura surged from his body.

"This is……!"

His body suddenly changed direction, standing north and facing south.

But the image of that ethereal, otherworldly man from [Yin Zhao Tian] immediately appeared in his mind!

"This is...this is the feeling of spiritual energy! My 'Heavenly Guide to Immortal Cultivation Technique' has been activated!"

"The 'spiritual energy revival' that the sect leader spoke of has finally manifested... and it has even descended upon Jingzhou!"

In an instant, Jiang Songjing's original thoughts faded away.

Even his dislike for Ying Manyuan and his annoyance with the Yang family had been relegated to second place.

So he turned to Yang Ruixing again and agreed without hesitation:

"good!"

In fact, Yang Ruixing thought he was going to refuse and wanted to persuade him further.

But to his surprise, the young man suddenly exuded an inexplicable aura, and within a few seconds, his body turned twice... Such a strange scene made him almost think that he had misheard or misseen!

However, it's always a good thing to be able to resolve a problem without having to say a word.

So Yang Ruixing suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and nodded, saying:

"It's wonderful that you agreed."

"Okay, I'll go arrange it now."

……

In the ward.

After the Yang siblings and Jiang Songjing were kicked out, the doctors who had righteously criticized Jiang Songjing, as well as the other caregivers, all obediently stayed in the reception room.

Inside the large ward, only two people remained—Ying Manyuan and the middle-aged man called Uncle Shan.

"Ah Shan".

Ying Manyuan lay half-reclined on the hospital bed, her eyelids half-closed, and affectionately called out the middle-aged man's name.

But his tone was calm, yet it carried a sense of authority that was not angry.

"Boss."

Uncle Shan displayed a level of respect he had never shown to the younger generation of the Yang family or to Jiang Songjing, bowing his head slightly as he responded to Man Yuan's reply.

"Something seems wrong with my child."

Ying Manyuan said slowly.

"He is very principled and sharp. But... he seems to be too principled. He actually signed that statement as soon as he arrived in Jingzhou... In that case, he might be in a passive position in the future."

He said indifferently, but his words revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Young Master grew up in poverty and was orphaned at a young age, so he may harbor some resentment. However... in that case, isn't this kind of character more than worthy of being your heir?"

Uncle Shan responded in a low voice, but if the Yang siblings and other members of the Yang family heard this... it would probably cause an earth-shattering shock!

"snort."

Ying Manyuan gave a cold snort from her nose and narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"That's not just resentment, it's more like a source of confidence..."

"I've carefully reviewed this child's file—judging from his past experiences, this kid respects his teachers and is devoted to Taoism, can endure hardship, and remains calm in the face of adversity... But that's all there is to it. Considering his upbringing, he could never possibly have such confidence!"

"He was standing by my bedside just now, and I saw it clearly... He didn't covet the foundation I built, or the entire Yang family's wealth, not even a shred of awe... Yet it wasn't a cynical hatred, but rather it was more like..."

Ying Manyuan narrowed her eyes slightly. Her once cloudy eyes had become clear, but a look of confusion still lingered in them.

"...It's as if this child didn't grow up in a dilapidated Taoist temple, but rather was adopted by a family at the provincial or ministerial level or above!"

"...Because his attitude just now was clearly that of an official, displaying condescension and disdain!"

Ying Manyuan frowned, utterly perplexed, as if discovering that a thousand-year-old ginseng treasured in her treasury had suddenly sprouted thorny brambles.

Upon hearing this, the man called Uncle Shan hesitated for a long time before raising his head and saying:

"The changes in the young master... might be related to a man."

"Who?"

Ying Manyuan said coldly.

"Are they from the Yang family? Yang Huifang and Yang Yuyin, one died young and the other went mad, what kind of backup plan could they have left behind?"

"No, it shouldn't have anything to do with the Yang family."

"But boss... have you ever heard of a name called Lin Yu?"
