After all, Yang Li is truly capable, especially if he works for his family.
They would inevitably have to deal with outsiders in their daily lives, and in the future, they might even have to travel with caravans.
Having some skills is a good thing; at least it won't be a burden on her family.
Furthermore, they live in the Lin family manor. Even if they don't cultivate, the spirit-gathering array she set up there will have the effect of prolonging life and strengthening the body, even if they don't cultivate.
Yang Li's worries were completely unnecessary.
But Lin Jiujiu didn't say that; she just smiled and nodded.
"Alright, get ready, I will perform the ritual for you tonight."
Upon hearing this, Yang Li was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes instantly.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."
Yang Li was so excited that he was about to kneel down again, but Lin Jiujiu stopped him in time.
"Alright, we're all family, so let's not be so formal."
From now on, I'll have to rely on you to take care of my family.
Yang Li immediately shook his head upon hearing this.
"No, no, it is my duty to be loyal to my master."
Lin Jiujiu didn't want to continue the polite conversation with him.
He then told the father and daughter to go downstairs first, under the pretext that they should prepare properly.
After everyone left, Baili Chenyuan poured Lin Jiujiu a cup of tea and asked her with some curiosity.
"Are you really going to help them start cultivating? Aren't you afraid they'll turn against you in the future?"
Lin Jiujiu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then shook her head.
"They dare not, and they have no opportunity."
Lin Jiujiu is no naive or innocent girl.
Since I promised to guide them in their cultivation, I will naturally make preparations and will not give them the opportunity to devour their master.
Seeing her confident demeanor, Baili Chenyuan didn't say anything more.
He only asked, "When do you plan to leave?"
Although they agreed to leave soon, the specific time has not been determined.
Lin Jiujiu did some calculations and said, "The day after tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM). By then, Tantai Yueming's matter should be settled. After all, we don't know much about the cultivation world, so it will be more convenient to be with him."
Baili Chenyuan naturally had no objection to her decision.
Baili Chenyuan directly transmitted the departure time to Tantai Yueming.
That evening, Lin Jiujiu set up a small spirit-gathering array in her courtyard to help Yang Li and his daughter begin their cultivation.
To her surprise, Yang Li's aptitude was actually quite good, and his daughter was even more extraordinary, possessing a rare wind spirit root.
After discovering this, Lin Jiujiu immediately added many good things to the Spirit Gathering Array, helping the father and daughter break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop.
If the little girl weren't so young, and reaching Foundation Establishment too early would affect her future growth, Lin Jiujiu would have allowed her to reach Foundation Establishment directly.
With such extraordinary talent, Lin Jiujiu even had the idea of taking her with her.
After all, watching those two little figures playing together again without anyone noticing...
Perhaps finding a playmate for the little one wouldn't be a bad idea; after all, the bond developed from childhood friendships is truly rare.
But when she looked back at Yang Li's loving eyes, which never left her daughter, Lin Jiujiu couldn't bring herself to say it.
Lin Jiujiu composed herself and silently added three more layers to the storage bag containing cultivation resources she had prepared for the father and daughter.
They also marked out some things that were suitable for Yang Ying separately.
After taking care of these matters, it was time to leave.
When the Chu Emperor learned that they were leaving, he intended to come and see them off, but Lin Jiujiu refused.
The Chu Emperor dared not object to this, and could only urge the Dali Temple to close the case as soon as possible and give Lin Jiujiu and the others an explanation.
The result was pretty much exactly as Lin Jiujiu had predicted.
The Lin family was raided and exterminated, but when the former Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was in trouble, they removed their branch from the family genealogy in order to absolve themselves of any responsibility.
Therefore, the Lin family's involvement in the rebellion did not implicate the former Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
However, it is truly rare for a collateral branch to remove the direct branch from the family genealogy, and it has become a topic of conversation in the capital.
On the contrary, the former Duke of Zhenguo was exonerated, and Lin Chengze personally admitted that the evidence used to frame the former Duke of Zhenguo's family for treason and embezzlement came from Lin Xian'er.
The former Duke Zhenguo's mansion was exonerated, and the Chu Emperor intended to recall them to the capital and restore their titles, but the title 'Zhenguo' could no longer be used.
The Chu Emperor had already decided on new titles for them, and even, as compensation, the Duke's title would be hereditary.
What was unexpected was that the people from the former Duke of Zhenguo's mansion rejected the Chu Emperor's offer and said that they were very satisfied with their current life.
They had no intention of returning to the capital. As for the titles, those were all due to the merits of their ancestors, and they had no reason to accept them. Therefore, they would not return to the capital.
Lin Jiujiu was not surprised when she heard the news.
Because of the Duke's Mansion, the Chu Emperor specially borrowed someone from Tantai Yueming to deliver the imperial decree; otherwise, the message would not have been returned so quickly.
When the Chu Emperor learned of this news, he felt somewhat helpless, but he did not make things difficult for them.
After all, although these things were planned by the Crown Prince and others, he also bears responsibility for oversight.
Since they are no longer willing to come back and work for him, let's just leave it at that.
However, the family property that had been confiscated from the former Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was still sorted out and sent to the descendants of the Duke's mansion.
In addition, as compensation, he was also granted a considerable amount of land and a mansion.
At least, ensure they have enough to eat and wear for the rest of their lives.
Lin Jiujiu wasn't very concerned about this. She only sent a telepathic message to Tantai Yueming after the time came to leave, urging him to set off.
Tantai Yueming's only concern in the mortal realm was the Chu Emperor.
Now that he has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he will return to the cultivation world to break through to the next realm. Once he reaches the Tribulation Transcending stage, it will be even more difficult for him to come down.
The laws of the world will reject them. If a high-level cultivator appears here, the brothers will probably have to wait until Emperor Chu lays down his burdens and leaves the mortal realm for the immortal realm before they can meet again.
However, Lin Jiujiu had calculated for the two brothers that their kinship was close and that their reunion would not be too long.
This reminded her of that calm yet wise face at the palace banquet.
It seems that the Chu Emperor's eyesight has really deteriorated over the years.
If they had nurtured him earlier, he would probably be able to travel to the cultivation world with them by now.
However, it will likely take some time before a peaceful transfer of power can be achieved.
When Tantai Yueming, along with Tantai Haoze and Ning Yi, hurriedly arrived, Lin Jiujiu and the others were already standing in the courtyard of the Zhenguo King's Mansion.
The three greeted each other upon arrival, and the little boy rushed over and hugged Tantai Haoze happily.
"Brother Haoze, you're finally here. From now on, Little Bean will only have Brother Haoze as a friend by his side."
The little guy's words contained the joy of seeing his friend, but also a hint of sadness at leaving.
Xiao Yangying stood beside her father as they left. Hearing what Xiao Douding said, she stepped forward and took his hand.
"Little bean, don't be afraid. Daddy will leave you there. Once Master and Madam are able to go to the cultivation world, we will come to find you there."
