Could Xu Jin be his father's illegitimate son? Qi Zhiheng thought this was impossible. However, he was certain that Xu Jin was behind his expulsion from the family in his previous life because of the brothel incident.
Judging from Liu Shan's guilty and flustered demeanor yesterday, it can be inferred that the poison in the medicine yesterday must be related to him.
Since Liu Shan was Xu Jin's follower in his previous life, it's highly likely that Xu Jin ordered these medicinal liquids to be poured into his mouth. Fortunately, he vomited everything when he woke up; otherwise, he would have been a low-grade, third-level spiritual cultivator like in his previous life.
Thinking of the tragic end of the Qi family in his previous life, all because of him, Qi Zhiheng couldn't help but clench his fists.
The reason why they can't withstand conspiracies and tricks is simply because their own strength is too low. Only by improving their own strength can they prevent others from easily plotting against them.
Although Qi Zhiheng's body had recovered considerably, he was still somewhat weak. He sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating the "Ten Thousand Yuan Mixed One Technique" throughout his body, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy. The spiritual energy repeatedly cleansed his meridians and physical body, washing away some impurities.
Qi Zhiheng meditated until dawn, and a maid brought him washing utensils and waited outside the door.
Qi Zhiheng opened his eyes and found that a layer of grime had been expelled from his body. He opened the door and said to the maid, "I want to take a bath and wash up. Go and prepare it." The maid acknowledged and withdrew. Soon, two servants brought in hot water.
Qi Zhiheng took a comfortable hot bath, changing the water once during the bath.
After washing up and getting dressed, the butler came in to announce, "Young Master Heng, the head of the family requests your presence at the ancestral hall."
Qi Zhiheng thought for a moment that it was probably a test of his spiritual aptitude. In his previous life, he had tested his three-elemental spiritual body, which was due to his consumption of Xueziye. Now that he had not drunk that medicinal soup, he should be a spiritual body of all elements, otherwise he would not be able to operate the "Ten Thousand Yuan Mixed One Technique".
Qi Zhiheng went to the ancestral hall with the steward. There weren't many people in the ancestral hall, only his parents were waiting.
As expected, the people who care about you the most are still your parents.
"Father, Mother." Just one call almost brought tears to Qi Zhiheng's eyes. He lowered his head to hide his emotions.
The last time he called them "father" and "mother" was more than ten years ago; by the time he realized his mistake, everything had turned to dust.
Being able to start over in this life is already a blessing from heaven. Qi Zhiheng secretly vowed that he would never let his family follow the same path as in his previous life.
Qiu Yuerong stepped forward and stroked his head: "You've had a high fever and been unconscious for the past two days. You must be starving. I've already asked Lanzhu to prepare breakfast. Let's finish the test as soon as possible and have a meal."
Qiu Yuerong is a late-stage Spirit Master, and although she is over thirty years old, she looks like she is in her early twenties.
Unlike other matriarchs of families, Qiu Yuerong was someone who didn't like to get involved in affairs.
Aside from her daily cultivation, she spent her days lovingly with her husband, and the household affairs were managed by Qi Zhiheng's grandmother.
Qi Zhiheng's grandmother was named Yang Yao.
Unlike Qi Zhiheng's grandfather, who didn't concern himself with household affairs, his grandmother was originally a beloved young lady from a small family in Qianshi City. She was personally taught household management by her mother. She had hoped to marry into a wealthy family, but unexpectedly, she fell in love with a man from the town.
At that time, the Qi family was even smaller; it could be said that a rich girl had married a poor boy. Naturally, Yang Yao's parents disagreed with this marriage, which was not a good match between their social standing. After several unsuccessful attempts to persuade her, they simply pretended that they did not have a daughter and let her be.
After that, the two sides had almost no contact.
