Having dealt with Lin Xian'er and the Crown Prince, Lin Jiujiu felt it was time for her to leave the mortal realm.
As for the Lin family's affairs, I believe Emperor Chu will handle them well.
The former Duke Zhenguo's mansion was already dwindling in number, and now there are hardly any people left.
As for the fact that Lin's father was a descendant of the former Duke of Zhenguo, they have the right to know, but it is believed that this matter will be recorded in the case file after the Dali Temple conducts a thorough investigation.
As for whether they want to acknowledge each other, that's their business.
The former Duke of Zhenguo's mansion passed away a few years ago, and the title of Duke of Zhenguo was inherited by his eldest son, who was brothers with Lin's father.
However, they hadn't seen each other for decades, and the person who replaced Lin's father as the legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo was not the child of Old Madam Lin of the Lin family.
She couldn't speculate on the reason why, since she hadn't met him in person.
But at least, when the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion fell into misfortune, that person did not abandon them. Instead, he followed his brother into exile in a harsh and cold place.
This can be considered as having shared joys and sorrows with them.
Even if they don't intend to acknowledge Lin's father and his family, Lin Jiujiu can understand, which is why she doesn't intend to get involved in this matter.
He was afraid that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion would recognize the Lin family because of his intervention.
This forced kinship may not necessarily be a good thing for the Lin family.
Having made up her mind, Lin Jiujiu wrote a letter and had it sent back to the Lin family.
He also mentioned that he would soon be heading to the world of cultivation and would no longer be returning to the Lin family.
Although the Lin family already knew this, Lin Jiujiu felt it was necessary to tell them now that she was leaving.
As for the future of the kinship between the Lin family and the former Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, it is entirely up to them to make their own choices.
Knowing they were leaving, the Chu Emperor had many things prepared that the cultivation world could use, so they could take them with them.
Although these things may not be worth much in the cultivation world, there are also people in the cultivation world who cannot cultivate, and there are quite a few of them.
When they first arrived there, they needed a place to stay, and these things came in very handy.
Actually, Lin Jiujiu and the others didn't need these things, but Lin Jiujiu didn't refuse the Emperor Chu's kind offer.
They decided to stay here for three more days before embarking on their journey.
During these three days, Lin Jiujiu did not see anyone else, except for Yang Li who came once.
Yang Li brought his daughter with him this time, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt down with a "plop".
He kowtowed several times, his head hitting the ground hard.
"Yang Li kowtows to thank Master for his great kindness. The Yang family's great hatred has been avenged, and the Yang family's hundred wronged souls have been exonerated. It is all thanks to Master's compassion."
Lin Jiujiu gently raised her jade-like hand and lifted the father and daughter up from the ground.
"Manager Yang, there's no need to be so polite. You've been loyal to me, so I won't let you down."
Yang Li had already given up on the idea of revenge.
Even though Lin Jiujiu had asked him before if he wanted revenge, he had refused.
After all, the Crown Prince is the heir apparent and the future successor to the throne.
He was just an ordinary man; what could he possibly fight against? Let alone fight, it was already a miracle that he and his daughter survived.
However, he never expected that his master was actually a cultivator.
Not only the crown prince, but even the emperor had to treat her with utmost respect.
When Yang Li heard the news, he knew that he had made the right gamble by agreeing to bring the child to Beijing.
"What did the Dali Temple say about the Yang family's matter?"
Upon hearing Lin Jiujiu's words, a look of pain flashed across Yang's face.
The Yang family members are either dead or scattered, so the chances of finding them are slim.
However, some of the Yang family's businesses still exist. Although they are not as prosperous as when Yang Li managed them, they are still a behemoth, otherwise Lin Xian'er would not have taken a liking to them.
Now that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are gone, these things that they forcibly seized should be returned to their victims.
But these are all external possessions; what difference would it make if they were all returned to him?
Their loved ones, however, will never come back.
Lin Jiujiu watched his changing expression and finally sighed.
"The people from the Dali Temple said that once the truth is found, they will return all of the Yang family's assets to us."
This result was within Lin Jiujiu's expectations.
After all, this matter has become so big that if it is not handled properly, it will affect the royal family's prestige in the eyes of the people.
If all members of the royal family were like the former crown prince and Lin Xian'er, what way would the common people have to survive?
Not only will the royal family return the Yang family's assets, but the Chu Emperor will likely also provide substantial compensation.
Although Yang Li has now sold himself to the Lin family, if these properties were returned to him at his current value, it wouldn't be difficult for him to redeem himself and his daughter.
If he really had this idea, Lin Jiujiu wouldn't stop him.
After all, you can stop people, but you can't stop people's hearts.
This is why Lin Jiujiu wanted to see him before leaving.
If Yang Li is unwilling to stay, she will return the indenture to them, considering it a way of forging a good relationship.
Lin Jiujiu had this idea, so she said it directly.
"What are your plans for the future? Are you going to take Ying'er back to your hometown?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Li panicked.
Regardless of whether it would frighten his daughter, he pulled her down to his knees with a "plop".
"Master, please don't send us away."
Yang Li knew in his heart that after this incident, no one would target the Yang family again.
But he was unwilling from the bottom of his heart to leave the Lin family with his daughter.
Let alone the great kindness the Lin family had shown to them, father and daughter, they could never repay it even if they spent their entire lives.
The Lin family never treated them like servants. The father and daughter had no other relatives, and staying with the Lin family made them feel more at ease than going anywhere else.
Lin Jiujiu looked helpless when she saw them like this.
It's good to know they don't want to leave, but there's really no need to kneel down.
Lin Jiujiu used her spiritual power to lift the two of them up again.
Yang Li seemed to have something to say.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "Since you don't want to leave, then we're family from now on. Uncle Yang, just tell me what's on your mind."
This was the first time Lin Jiujiu had called him "Uncle Yang," and while Yang Li was excited, he quickly waved his hand and said no.
"No, no."
After saying that, he glanced at his daughter, gently patted her head, and finally gritted his teeth and said it.
"Master, I would like you to test Ying'er's spiritual root. I only have this one child now, and my body was damaged before and is not as good as before. I am afraid I will not be able to take care of her for much longer."
"I beg you, Master, to help Ying'er with the opening of her spirit tablet, so that if I am no longer here in the future, she will have the ability to protect herself."
Lin Jiujiu thought it was something serious.
Since she had arranged for their parents to be brought to the capital, she had no intention of hiding anything about the cultivators from them.
To some extent, it could be said that there was also the idea of performing a ritual to open their spirits.
