"May I ask, fairy?"

"Did your Chu family ever produce a cultivator?"

The man recalled for a moment: "I heard my grandfather say that my Chu family produced a powerful cultivator a thousand years ago, but none of the later generations of the clan had the talent for cultivation, and the family declined afterward... I always thought my grandfather was just bragging..."

"You are indeed a descendant of the Chu family. But why are you the only family here?"

"My fairy, you may not know this, but a hundred years ago there was a great drought. Everyone was starving. Our clan split into two factions. One faction went south to find a way to survive, while our faction was unwilling to leave our ancestral home and stayed behind. We struggled to survive, and in the end, only our family was left..."

Where is the ancestral home?

The man felt ashamed: "To my shame, the ancestral home has been in disrepair for many years and is almost completely collapsed..."

"Where is the Chu family ancestral hall?"

The man felt even more guilty: "The ancestral hall is also..."

"Where is the Chu family genealogy?"

The man felt even more guilty: "All I managed to keep were a few tattered copies..."

The man instructed the woman to bring Yunqi the few tattered family genealogies at the bottom of the box.

Yunqi opened it, and inside were records of major clan events over the past few hundred years... nothing beyond that.

I never imagined that the Chu family would have declined to such a state after thousands of years...

Sigh, you can't get fat in one bite... take it slow.

All three children of the Chu family were sent to school; the boys went to an academy, and the girls studied under a famous female teacher.

Yun Qi, along with Chu Pinwei and Xiao Mo, went to the village chief's house and bought all the land surrounding the Chu Clan Ancestral Hall and the Chu family's ancestral home. They then hired people to repair the ancestral hall and rebuild the ancestral home...

The ancestral graves were also moved to a geomantically auspicious location...

With the help of "money power", the ancestral hall and ancestral home have been built and tidied up in half a year.

Chu Pinwei's family also moved into their ancestral home.

In just six months, the Chu family underwent a dramatic transformation.

Chu Pinwei stopped hunting; Yun Qi arranged for him to learn how to be the head of a family.

Chu Pinwei's wife also learned how to manage the household from the nanny.

Chu Zhengwen, Chu Zhengwu, and Chu Zhenghui now have books to read and schools to attend... They no longer need to envy others.

Yunqi had observed that none of the Chu family members had any talent for cultivation... so she decided to protect them and let them live a life of wealth.

Yunqi set up a barrier above the ancestral hall in the ancestral home, making the spiritual energy inside the barrier slightly denser than outside, hoping to raise more outstanding descendants in the future...

Chu Pinwei knew he wasn't cut out for business. After consulting with Yun Qi, she bought him a hundred acres of fertile land and several shops. As long as he didn't squander the money, he could make a good living just from the rent.

As life got better and better, Chu Pinwei's family practically worshipped Yunqi.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye...

That day, Yun Qi was lazily basking in the sun in the courtyard of the ancestral home, while Xiao Mo was practicing his sword beside her. It has to be said that Xiao Mo is truly talented. In this human realm where spiritual energy is scarce, he has actually managed to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining. The next step would be Foundation Establishment! With his current strength, he has few rivals in the human realm.

Xiao Mo is now fourteen years old and taller than Yun Qi.

Xiao Mo bid farewell to Yun Qi: "Sister, now that I have made some progress in martial arts, it is time to avenge my family."

Yun Qi handed a ring to Xiao Mo: "This is a spatial ring I made. You can use it once you inscribe your spiritual imprint on it. There are some spirit stones and pills inside, as well as some cultivation techniques on jade slips. I hope it will be useful to you."

Xiao Mo hugged Yun Qi tightly, burying his head in the crook of her neck: "Sister, why are you so good to me?! I'm afraid I can never repay your kindness in this lifetime..."

Yunqi felt her shoulder was wet; Xiao Mo must have been crying. She gently patted his back to comfort him, "Take care of yourself. I've saved you a Foundation Establishment Pill; you can use it when you attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage... Also, don't rely too much on pills for cultivation; too much pill toxin buildup is detrimental to later cultivation..."

"Sister...can I come back to find you after I've taken my revenge?"

"After you've taken your revenge, I don't know where I'll be... I might be traveling around, or I might be back in the cultivation world."

"...Then how should I find you?"

"If we are destined to meet, we will meet again."

Xiao Mo left reluctantly.

After Xiao Mo left, Yun Qi told the Chu family that she was also leaving, and they saw her off.

Yunqi left behind two Great Rejuvenation Pills (which could save lives in critical moments), which she put into jade bottles and told them to keep them safe.

Yunqi gave each person a protective amulet and told them to wear it close to their body. She told them that there was a divine consciousness in the jade slip she left in the ancestral hall. If the Chu family was in danger, they should crush the jade slip and she would appear.

Yunqi bid farewell to the Chu family and continued her travels. This time she was alone. The little paper doll remained silent, indicating that there were no other descendants of the Chu family nearby.

Yun Qi scrolled through the system interface out of boredom, but the task of finding the descendants of the Chu family had not yet been completed...

Sigh... Xiao Qi still hasn't come back...

Yunqi resumed her days of listening to audiobooks and tasting delicacies from all over the country...

This time, he changed into men's clothing for easy travel and leisurely drove the carriage alone...

Yunqi held a candied hawthorn in one hand and the reins in the other, humming an off-key song as she let the horse walk slowly.

A person rushed out from the roadside and blocked the carriage.

In this desolate wilderness, Yunqi stopped the carriage and looked at the other person: "Is there something you need?"

The man bowed to Yun Qi and said, "This... young lady... my young master is injured. Could you take us to the nearest city?"

Yunqi was only dressed as a man and did not deliberately conceal her appearance, so it is normal to be able to tell that she is a girl.

The man helped a young gentleman walk over.

The young master forced a bow to Yun Qi: "My name is Gu Linchen. May I ask if you would be so kind as to escort us?"
