"What do you need to do?" Chen Yang paused his thoughts and looked at Chen Tianmin.
Chen Tianmin, expressionless, said calmly, "From an inheritance standpoint, this house is half mine as well. Now that I’m back, I need a place to settle down, but you’re living here, so I need your help to build another house, a place to stay."
"The house doesn’t need to be too big, just barely livable. Also, split half of the land left by your grandfather for to grow vegetables; otherwise, I have no source of inco."
Chen Tianmin’s tone was very calm, like a son who has been away from ho for many years, coming back to claim his inheritance.
But Chen Yang could hear it, and he could see it.
His second uncle had no other intentions, he simply wanted to live in Liuhua Village.
A house, a few acres of land.
The request wasn’t excessive at all.
One might even say it’s his rightful share.
"Alright, I’ll handle this matter tomorrow," Chen Yang nodded and agreed without hesitation.
"Hmm, when you have ti, take to pay respects to your grandfather. I haven’t seen the old man in twenty years," Chen Tianmin added.
ntioning his grandfather made Chen Yang’s heart feel complicated.
His grandfather had always been good to him, and thinking of him made Chen Yang sowhat uncomfortable.
"Let’s wait until you’ve recovered before we do that. There’s no rush," Chen Yang thought for a mont and said.
"Alright, good."
Chen Tianmin nodded again, and the uncle and nephew didn’t exchange much more.
Ten minutes of silence passed, about the ti it takes to finish a cigarette, and Chen Tianmin got up to leave.
Chen Yang wanted to escort him back to the dical room but was refused.
"My body is weak, but I can walk this short distance. You don’t need to send . I can manage," Chen Tianmin said lightly.
Seeing this, Chen Yang didn’t insist. He simply said "Hmm," standing by the door without escorting him.
However, his gaze followed Chen Tianmin into the dical room before he turned back.
"It seems that the family history from Grandpa’s generation is not simple, and what Second Uncle experienced wasn’t simple either."
After seeing off Chen Tianmin, Chen Yang’s mind unconsciously recalled what Chen Tianmin had just ntioned.
Although Chen Yang didn’t fully understand many of his words,
From the few words he said, it’s not hard to discern that their family has so sort of connection with sothing external,
And that thing is very likely related to cultivators.
As a child, Chen Yang didn’t understand cultivation, and therefore couldn’t comprehend so events in his family.
But today, combining what Chen Tianmin said with what he currently knows, reviewing so small details, it’s clear their family is not simple.
Since childhood, his grandfather could enter the mountain full of wolves, tigers, and leopards alone, and each ti ca back with a lot of herbs.
Moreover, his grandfather was also renowned as a Divine Doctor in the surrounding villages.
As a child, he didn’t understand these things, simply believing his grandfather was just a Divine Doctor, nothing more.
Now, looking back, his grandfather was probably also a cultivator, otherwise, he couldn’t have done those things.
Nor would he have the Herb King Scriptures and the jade pendant shaped like a dicine pot to pass down.
Thinking back to the solemn instructions his grandfather gave when handing him the jade pendant before dying,
It’s likely his grandfather knew about the inheritance within the jade pendant but couldn’t accept it himself, so he left it for him.
And he accepted it by chance.
"Second Uncle returning ho after twenty years, looking so worn out, possibly he has also experienced cultivation matters."
Following this line of thought, Chen Yang suddenly understood many issues.
"This also explains why his body is different from normal people, looking almost like a mummy yet still alive, and glucose can’t restore him quickly like it would a normal person."
...
That night, Chen Yang pondered cultivation half the ti.
Unknowingly, it was daybreak.
As the sky brightened, he took two Spirit Stones and went to the dical room.
"You’re here."
Seeing Chen Yang, Chen Tianmin smiled.
Today, his ntal state was slightly better, but still far from normal.
"Yes, I’m here," Chen Yang nodded, habitually asking, "How’s your body feeling? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Chen Tianmin kept smiling, "The sa as usual, nothing specific, slowly recovering. As long as I don’t die, it’s just taking so ti."
Chen Yang hesitated a mont, then took out two Spirit Stones from his pocket and handed them over, saying, "Why don’t you try this?"
"You... how do you have this?"
Chen Tianmin’s expression changed massively, extrely shocked upon seeing the Spirit Stones in Chen Yang’s hand!
Chen Yang’s gaze was also focused on Chen Tianmin’s expression.
He brought the Spirit Stones today to test his hypothesis.
If Chen Tianmin recognized the Spirit Stones, it would an he is a cultivator.
If he didn’t recognize them, then he wasn’t.
Judging from Chen Tianmin’s expression, he recognized the Spirit Stones!
This confird Chen Yang’s suspicion that their family was not simple.
The years Second Uncle spent away might have involved ventures into the cultivation world, leading to his ragged return to Liuhua Village.
"Where they ca from is not your concern; if they’re beneficial to you, then keep them, focus on recovering your body first." Chen Yang wanted to explain he was also a cultivator, but the words didn’t co out.
Chen Tianmin was still in shock!
He couldn’t comprehend how his university-graduate nephew could suddenly hand him such things.
Internally shocked, bewildered, worried, a myriad of emotions flooded him in an instant.
Being normally composed, his mind was now in turmoil, with countless scenes flashing through.
"Okay." Chen Tianmin wanted to continue asking where these ca from, but like Chen Yang, he couldn’t say it out loud, simply responding with "Good," as he took the Spirit Stones.
After handing over the Spirit Stones to Chen Tianmin, Chen Yang didn’t stay in the hospital room for long, instead giving him ti to absorb them, he proactively left the dical room.
Outside, he instructed the person in charge of the dical room.
"Keep everything quiet today. Unless soone inside actively seeks you, don’t go in to disturb."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
Chen Yang nodded, leaving the dical room, and went straight to Green Cloud Taoist Temple.
Recently, Liu the Taoist had been very busy daily.
Almost every morning he would set off, not returning until the evening.
Traveling around, searching for a disciple satisfactory enough to pass down the torch of his Red Cloud sect.
He brought back many people, but most were ordinary people, only suitable to be nominal disciples, taking care of daily affairs at the temple.
To truly beco a Red Cloud disciple, most were not qualified.
Yet today, for so reason, Liu the Taoist didn’t set off to search for disciples, though it was already past nine o’clock.
Normally, he would have set off by seven or eight in the morning.
