Qingyu Manor.
Yun Zhiyi had sensed Lin Yangyang's arrival long ago, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
According to the relationships in this life, A Chuan's older sister should be considered her sister-in-law.
As soon as she arrived in front of the manor, the main gate opened automatically. Lin Yangyang looked ahead; there was no one outside or inside the gate, and the large manor was empty.
"I am Lin Yangyang of Lin, here to pay my respects to the Taoist priest."
Lin Yangyang stood in front of the manor, cupping her hands in greeting.
"Come in. There's no need for gifts."
A faint voice came from within the manor.
During their brief exchange, Lin Yangyang immediately sensed the other party's extraordinary nature. She gently waved her hand at her servants.
"You all go back first."
Qingyu Daoren must be a Cultivator, and her cultivation was far superior to her.
Presumably, she wouldn't care for the mundane gifts prepared by Lin.
With that, Lin Yangyang walked into the manor alone, not worried that the other party was a demon or a demonic Cultivator.
After all, this was the heartland of the Great Yan Dynasty, and demons would never dare to cause trouble openly.
Stepping into the manor, Lin Yangyang quickly saw the Azure Jade Taoist sitting quietly in the courtyard.
The Taoist priest was dressed in plain clothes and wore a veil, concealing her true face, but it was clear she was a woman of exceptional temperament.
"My arrival is sudden; I hope the Taoist priest will forgive me."
Lin Yangyang cupped her hands.
"A visitor is a guest; please sit."
Yun Zhiyi made a welcoming gesture, very politely, and also brewed a cup of fragrant, good tea for Lin Yangyang.
"Thank you."
Lin Yangyang's pressure immediately reduced significantly.
Then came another round of polite exchanges.
After chatting for a while, Lin Yangyang realized that the Azure Jade Taoist was not as cold as she had imagined. The other party patiently answered all the questions she posed.
Unconsciously, she had already drunk several cups of tea.
She only felt that the tea was sweet and refreshing, and after drinking it, her whole being felt invigorated.
It even gave her a strange sensation of her Spiritual Veins being nourished, as if her body was being cleansed and purified.
Having already cultivated to the Peak of the Meridian Opening Realm, with twelve Spiritual Veins opened within her body, she actually felt at this moment that she could open new Spiritual Veins.
"The Taoist priest's tea seems extraordinary."
Lin Yangyang asked tentatively.
Yun Zhiyi smiled calmly, "If you like it, drink more. To be neighbors is also a kind of fate."
"Thank you, Taoist priest."
Lin Yangyang knew she had met a noble person.
Could it be that my extraordinary talent has been discovered by some peerless mighty figure, who wants to form a good relationship with me, or take me as a disciple?
If she were alone, Lin Yangyang would be willing to cultivate in a large Sect.
But for Chuan'er, she was still determined to create her own power and make Lin prosper.
They chatted for a long time, and the sky gradually darkened.
Lin Yangyang could no longer hold back and decided to seek a good connection for Chuan'er.
"I still have a perplexing question that I wish to ask the Taoist priest."
"What is it?"
"My younger brother has contracted a strange illness. We have sought medical treatment for many years without success, and we have also invited several masters to examine the geomancy, but all were ineffective."
"A strange illness? What kind of illness?"
Yun Zhiyi's heart tensed.
Her husband's Reincarnation was still so young, yet he was plagued by so many misfortunes? It truly made her heart ache.
Lin Yangyang was inwardly surprised.
In that instant, she felt the Taoist priest's obvious emotional fluctuation; her body unconsciously leaned forward quite a bit.
She seemed very anxious.
During their previous conversation, the Taoist priest had been as calm as still water.
But when it came to Chuan'er, she seemed like a different person.
"Is it my imagination?"
Lin Yangyang wasn't entirely sure and continued the topic,
"My younger brother's illness is unknown, and his body is otherwise fine; he just suffers from extreme sleepiness and many dreams."
"It is indeed strange for your younger brother, a Cultivator, to be so sleepy and have many dreams. The exact reason still needs careful investigation."
"Taoist priest, if it is convenient, may I bring my younger brother to your manor for a diagnosis?"
Lin Yangyang was overjoyed.
Since the Taoist priest said so, she must be willing to investigate the cause of Chuan'er's illness.
Although Chuan'er's symptoms currently showed no ill effects, no one could say what might happen in the future.
Moreover, prolonged sleep greatly affected cultivation.
Little did she know, Yun Zhiyi was also ecstatic in her heart.
"This kind of contact with A Chuan shouldn't be considered disturbing his life, right?"
"As long as I can be with him and talk to him, I will be content. If I can make A Chuan recall the past..."
Yun Zhiyi stopped her surging thoughts.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself and would disrupt A Chuan's current life.
After calming her mind, Yun Zhiyi nodded,
"Your younger brother has deep blessings; he will be fine. You may bring him to the manor."
"Thank you, Taoist priest."
Lin Yangyang bowed deeply, expressing her sincere gratitude, "I will return now to explain the situation to my younger brother, and bring him to visit tomorrow."
"Alright."
Yun Zhiyi wanted to say, 'How about tonight!'
I can't wait anymore.
In the end, she stopped the thought in her heart, persuading herself to be calm, to respect her true feelings for A Chuan, and also to respect A Chuan's current wife.
Cutting it off makes it even more tangled.
Like a thousand threads entwined, her heart was filled with melancholy.
...
Bidding farewell to the 'Azure Jade Taoist', Lin Yangyang returned to the Lin residence, her expression excited, and rushed straight to Lin Chuan's small courtyard.
"Chuan'er! Chuan'er!!!"
In the courtyard, Lin Chuan was playing happily with little Ru Meng. He liked this adopted daughter more and more.
Hearing Lin Yangyang's voice, father and daughter turned their heads simultaneously.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
"Chuan'er, I have good news for you."
"What news makes sister so happy?"
"Do you remember what I told you yesterday, about a mysterious person who just moved in next door?"
"I remember."
Lin Chuan had some impression of it but didn't pay too much attention.
"Today, I visited that mysterious person. She is from the Daoist school, calls herself Azure Jade Taoist, and is also a Cultivator."
"Her cultivation is far superior to ours. Even a casual cup of tea she brews is a precious Spirit Treasure."
"..."
Lin Yangyang meticulously recounted everything that happened at Qingyu Manor.
"That amazing?"
Lin Chuan was surprised, "Sister, something out of the ordinary must have a reason!"
He didn't quite believe in such good things falling from the sky.
Lin Yangyang said sternly, "I also suspected if she had ulterior motives, but thinking about it carefully, there's no need."
"If the Azure Jade Taoist truly intended to harm us, she wouldn't have to go through so much effort."
"Besides, she is also the county governor's benefactor."
"After much thought, her purpose should be to form a good relationship with us siblings, probably because she values our talents."
Lin Yangyang analyzed a lot.
This explanation made sense, and Lin Chuan agreed.
If the Azure Jade Taoist truly had ulterior motives, he would make her pay the price.
"I've told the Taoist priest about your situation. Tomorrow, you will come with me to visit her. Perhaps she can solve your predicament of excessive sleepiness and many dreams."
What Lin Yangyang cared about most was her younger brother's health issue.
Lin Chuan looked helpless, "Sister, I'm really fine."
Lin Yangyang's delicate brows furrowed, "No! You must go see her. No trouble now doesn't mean no trouble later."
"Alright, alright."
Unable to argue with his sister, Lin Chuan had no choice but to agree.
...
Another night passed.
After a brief dream journey, Lin Chuan was woken up by his sister, who told him to go to Qingyu Manor to visit the Azure Jade Taoist.
Just as he was about to get up, he felt a weight on his thigh.
Little Ru Meng had woken up at some point, hugging his thigh, her clear, watery eyes looking straight at him.
"Daddy, Mengmeng wants to go with you too!"
